Well, I guess I don't have to introduce myself, so let's go straight ahead with my challenge.

I will play on Everest with a very aggressive BRM.

15 stacks --> on to the next limit
less than 10 stacks --> moving down a limit

history: I never had to move down a limit due to my very conservative BRM. As a matter of fact I am sometimes a little money scared when shotting Nl600 or playing deep on Nl400. To get rid of that and to see how far I can make it I will try to grind up to Nl1k on Everest.

I cash out everything but 2.5k on Everest and will start on NL200 SH.
I will mainly play NL SH and FR to rech my goal. I will update this blog regularly ( twice a week?). I will post here to controll myself, to get some motivation and to let you be part of it.

starting BR: $2.500
goal: Nl1k ( = 15k roll)

Wish me luck, or better: no downswing

Yes, that's right. Well, November wasn't spectacular cocnerning cash games. Something like 2 - 3k plus. But didn't play a lot. I had the nice tourney cash in november, which was one reason to play less ^^

Sorry to hear that!!!
As a fan, I'll fallow your blog for the essence in it, and wish you luck on your goal.
First impression, even great players face variance: I shall not tilt for variance

9 on Nl100 and Nl 200, from Nl400 on I will play 6. But well, first let's get there.

I've chosen Everest because I had smalish bankroll there. I had a short but good time playing there and I can play threacked.

Ok, here is the next update. The last days have been a strugle for me. Nl100 was tilting me the first two days. Opponents are so incredibly bad, I couldn't hanlde it seeing themhit their trips with T3o in a reraised pot. I was also just running bad, whenever a 2 weird two pair was possible, Villain had it. Well, here is the graph:

And here we have the beatuy of the day:

$0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG fisch17 ($227.60)
CO Hero ($108.77)
BTN TromPOKER ($65.25)
SB teamen ($110.83)
BB BOBASIA ($97.45)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 5 players) Hero is CO Q♥ K♥
1 fold, Hero raises to $3.50, TromPOKER calls $3.50, 1 fold, BOBASIA calls $2.50

Flop: 9♥ 7♥ 8♥ ($11, 3 players)
BOBASIA checks, Hero bets $6, TromPOKER raises to $12, BOBASIA calls $12, Hero raises to $18, TromPOKER raises to $61.75, BOBASIA calls $49.75, Hero raises to $105.27, BOBASIA calls $32.20

Turn: 5♠ ($271.97, 3 players)

River: 4♣ ($271.97, 3 players)

Final Pot: $271.97
BOBASIA shows: 2♥ A♥
Hero shows: Q♥ K♥
TromPOKER shows: 6♥ T♥

BOBASIA wins $63.91 ( lost -$33.54 )
Hero wins $11.32 ( lost -$97.45 )
TromPOKER wins $194.74 ( won +$129.49 )

That's how I was running...

Well, after I took a tilt shot at Nl400 ( ended break even), I started the new day with a different strategy.

I mplayed nitty 16/12 and playe 11 tables at once to stop me from making bluffs, loose steals or resteals. I guess 16/12 is the most profitable style vs those idiots.

Anyway, BR is about: 2.1k

I hope to be back on Nl200 in some days.
