Keep going, winrate % I'd love to know too....

The rakes a killer at the $1.50's

Some numbers:

323 games played
Net profit: 55$ - 28$ (start balance) = 27$ net profit
Rake paid: 323 x 0.12 = 38.76$

Rake paid + net profit = 27$ + 38.76$ = 65.76 $ earned total

65.76$ / 323 games = 0.204$ profit per game, before rake paid.

Total amount risked: 323 x 1.5$ = 484.5$
Total money won before rake: 65.00$ = 13.41% ROI
Total earnings net after rake: 27.00$ = 5.5% ROI

imo you should get that "profit per game before rake" and "total profit excluding rake" out of your head altogether. It's meaningless. Paying the rake is part of the buy-in. I only look at rake paid to see how many FPPs I'm earning over a certain time period.

Nice progress so far though!

THX!

I like to calculate return including rake as well just to see how rakeback might affect future earnings. Besides that it does not have any relevance indeed.

update:

Account: 62.66$ (up from 28$), still at 1.5$ games.
Games played: 338

Hardest thing is getting any volume because of my job, family etc... Still i will continue this. Goal is to rise to a level where even playing low volume can make me something, and to have a way of earning some extras on free days in the future...

Zipps did a HH for me and has been giving me some tips and i am now rewatching the "this is how we roll" series from Brokerstar. I can certainly still improve since i try to play to "deceptive", bluffy at times with wrong betsizes etc... No need to get fancy at these stakes...

At these levels i guess most people play for fun and some actually because they hope to win easy money going all nuts and agressive...

Good Luck!

Hi again,

because of the freezing temperatures i was home today from work and decided to play some volume. Got about 23 games down and am now up to 66.35$

This is the highest my account has been since i started playing poker and this time no bonusses were paid, so pure winnings...

The course certainly put me in the right direction. I am almost ready for the 3.5$ games...

Good Luck!

Running bad!

Back To 58.33$ after reaching 68$ Sad

This mostly because of me playing like a total ass and some games been coolered, but mostly my fault.

I find myself in a strange mood not actually caring anymore about the result and when the games just take to long i find myself shoving or barreling just to finish them. I may need a break.

I guess this may be like some kind of demotivation because after running good, you suddently feel totally helpless and you start wondering why you did run good in the first place.

Whatever. This is poker i guess. It is not about linear results.

Will relax a bit and then start over when it feels like fun again.

Hi again,

Lost another 3 buyins. Down to 52.5$

So that is 16$ gone in 4 days playing the micro's.

36% ITM over last 25 games
50% ITM over last 50 games

My biggest leaks:

Having NO defence at all against:

1. Agro preflop players, that follow up with 2 of 3 barrels and attack you almost everytime from OP after you raised. Each time i am card dead they eat me alive... Lots of time they even manage to show me the nuts after i call them down with second or middle pair....

2. Calling 3 barrels or shoves with anything less then trips...

Lets see if this continues i will be back from where i started a while ago lol

3 Loosers for today so break time... I did have fun playing tough.

Greets and good luck...
