Veteran Player Attempting Comeback After Black Friday

man you sound like you could be making $20,000 a month (jeah bra)

now listen

IMHO

structuring your goals around a daily avg. is going to eventually cause you to tilt even if you're playing at the tiny stakes.. search your feelings... you know this to be true.... trying on any one day to achieve your 'daily avg' will cause you to put in more/less time than you normally would

as a veteran and an expert poker player i suggest using time as your goal.

gg bra.

LOL, I just finished a 15 minute response and hit the wrong button, so it was all erased. I hope I play better in my poker session today. Smile

My daily $$$ are mainly a guide for me to know if I'm on track for my overall goal. The playing time goal is more important (assuming I'm playing well).

Did really well yesterday. I was too tired to post my results, but made a little over $40. My goal was around $24.

However, I played only a bit over four hours (seven hour goal!). I had a couple excuses...I know, not good, but I spent two hours with customer support trying to figure out my problem entering a decimal in the bet amount box.

I just now finished up a four hour session. I lost a little over $13 after an hour-and-a-half of some guy pushing allin every hand on 2NL and me losing nearly every 55/45 or better flip.

Had a couple really bad beats, too. And one hand where the sole caller beat my QQ on a 442QT board. Yay!

Anyway, time for a break, then I will recoup my losses and make some money!

Just finished ***attempting*** to 13-table betonline. (5@6NL, 8@2NL) It didn't go too well, but I did manage to turn a $12.51 profit in just under an hour. Much of time, I was on the waiting list for many of the open tables. I'd say I was actually playing more than ten tables about 40-45 minutes.

OMG it was STRESSFUL. Always "ding-ding, ding-ding, it's your turn to act, but I'm not going to show you which table!"

I have a 23" monitor, but cannot tile more than 8 tables on it. Stacking does not work, as the tables requiring action don't come to the front. So that leaves cascading.

The only way to know which tables require action is to leave the BET button area showing. When the BET button appears, then you need to click on that table. However, you can't click near the BET button, because it will BET (imagine that?).

The BET button is so close to the edge of the table that you need to be extremely careful if you do this. So I had to click on the opposite corner of the table that was showing, and often clicked the wrong table.

I will experiment with a slightly different table layout and see if I can do better.

Two of the funnier hands that ocurred:
1. 6NL fullring: I noticed a specific table needed action, so I clicked the table--only it was too close to the BET button, which cause me to hit it. I happened to be on the button and the cutoff had just raised to 4x. This caused me to minraise with a 52o. It must have been a good strategy, because everyone folded.

2. 6NL rullring: I had QQ and raised to 4x UTG+1. I had other tables requiring action and suddenly I heard "BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP", which means that my time bank has been depleted on one table and my hand is about to be folded. I found the QQ hand JUST in time to hit the BET button and save my hand. In the meantime, SB had raise...TO $2.25! So clicking the BET button minreraised...to $4.50! Lucky me. Hahaha. The really funny part was SB checked, I had $1.50 behind and shoved it on a T92r flop and SB folded.

Not a good night tonight...Got back from volleyball, mulled around, then decided I needed to get more volume. I got a two hour shellacking from a variety of fish and finally had to quit in disgrace.

I thought I was probably down $6 or $7, but ended the session UP 29 cents! I can go to bed in peace tonight. Haha.

I didn't meet my $$$ goal today, but that's fine. I made a whopping $13.79. My bankroll is now at $243.69 and climbing. I was hoping to be at $260 by the end of the day so I could play a table of 10NL tomorrow, but no such luck. It will wait until Wednesday.

I woke up this morning "early" at 8:30 and decided to get a jump on my poker volume. I logged into betonline, and only two 6NL tables were going. I decided it wasn't quite worth my time and that I'd wait a couple hours until at least three 6NL games were going. I made some comments on a member HUSNG video instead. It was fun to be back at HUNSGs, if only for commenting on someone else's game.

Only a couple 10NL games run regularly. Fortunately, I won't be at those stakes for too long before moving up to 25NL. There are always at least 6 25NL tables going, so I'll have plenty of games to play when I hit those stakes in eight or nine days.

Just a rungood session. I figured out how to (fairly) efficiently ten-table and played 4@6NL and 6@2NL. Players were just shovelling money to me.

I played for a little over one hour and made $25.99, which works out to 72BB/table. Now, if I can only maintain that winrate. (Yea, that's reasonable!)

My bankroll is now at $269.68 after seven days...just over my goal thus far. I still have some time left today to play.

I am only $0.32 shy of being able to add two tables of 10NL in place of two 2NL tables!

qattack · Enthusiast Joined: 05 Apr 2011 Posts: 61

Yea, actually I haven't figured out how to initiate a PM myself...my post count may not be enough.

If you're interested, I'd like to start a study group specifically for betonline games.

Anyone interested in getting a betonline cash game study group going, please AIM me:

AIM: qattack2008

I will (re)get a Skype account soon, since this seems to be the preferred method of contact among poker players.
