Grinding Pennies

Seems reasonable. Do you play ring games or other poker format?

Cheers,

I don't what ring games means, but I play NL$2 6max

I lost my bankroll, I kept making big pot mistakes followed by some unlucky hands, let's face I I'm a losing player, it took about 10k hands to lose £10 I wonder what that looks like on bb/100.

OK so I just checked it out and I lost 6bb/100, I have a lot of work to do if I wanna become a winning player.

I love loose aggressive can't wait until Tuesday so I can reload my bankroll with another £10

OK so I had a $1 tournament ticket, I fucked up and called somebody all in and lost a huge pot that was my full stack.

Don't call all ins without knowing he's a fucking donky.

Also I need to practice my hand reading more I'm very weak in this area. I'll study until Tuesday hand reading and try again.

At least I won 50p for knocking somebody out

OK so I reloaded 10 pound, I've been playing poker and I went down to 2 dollars and now I've climbed my way back up to 8 dollars

Wow a positive session, I'm up to 17 dollars with a win rate of 10bb/100 3k sample. I'm playing 6 tables roughly 70 hands per hour per table that's 420 hands an hour that's 80c an hour nice I'm happy with that hopefully I can keep it up

Thanks, I'm buying holder manager next month when I get paid, so I will be able to post some hands.

I've played 5500 hands roughly, winning 9 dollars that's about 8bb/100, I thought I hit a straight earlier after I doubled up from a 45s vs AJ on a 23JA7 board, and reraised bet bet into pocket KK, noone seems to fold big pairs or top pair top kicker at NL 2

OK so I decided to sit with my entire £15 bankroll and lost the lot, I was still up 100bb over 6500 hands, I should be able to reload again today and restart

Third attempt
Starting bankroll $11.80
Bankroll $8

Wow what a session, I had a k Hugh flush vs Ace high flush, a set vs higher set, witch led me to tilting with a top pair K kicker calling a reraise all in river shove.

I guess these hands don't matter eventually they will happen the opposite way round, it's crazy it still tilts me

Third attempt 500 hands
Starting bankroll $11.80
Bankroll $13.48

I had a nice run of cards the last few days after that unlucky streak last week, 15bb/100 hands

Third attempt 2000 hands
Starting bankroll $11.80
Bankroll $11.25

Wow what a run I've had lots of big pairs busted Khigh flushes into A high flushes I went down to 2 dollars, seemed to have spinned round a bit, hit some 4 of a kinds and stacked off with them.

I'm getting used to variance we can really go up and down with it I really don't like losing it tilts me and I make big pot mistakes, I'm getting better with it though as I've been focusing and studying a bit about variance

Winrate 4.3bb per 100 hands

I can't cope with badluck and mistakes, there have been 2 hands where I got them all in KK vs AJ all in on a rainbow flop J27 turn was an ace

2nd hand was AA vs ATs all in on a rainbow flop 4h 8d Jc Qh Kh, it cracked me I think this tilts me into making big stack mistakes I just had AA and called a turn reraise shove after reraising the flop myself on a 2 4 T 8 board he had a T8.

I used to always be able to fold vs reraises I'm struggling at the moment at least I'm still winning but I've made about 15 big stack mistakes I should be on about 25 dollars

Hands 3900

Bankroll $15.74
Winrate 5bb per 100 hands

10c an hour I guess if that was higher limit that would be great.

Everytime I get AA KK QQ AK I put to the front of my mind be careful and hand read properly when I get reraised.

There were 2 hands that I made 2 good folds and avoided making 2 big stack mistakes

The first hand I ha KK I 3 bet and bet almost the pot on a Th8h2d and get reraised all in, I folded

The 2nd hand I hold KdKh the board is 2dTd3c 6d 3d I bet almost full pot on the river for 30cence and get reraised all in I folded.

It feels like I'm on a downswing I keep missing flop after flop, I feel bored of poker, but would like to make it ad a pro

Hands 4000
Starting bankroll $11.80
Bankroll $16.54
Winrate 5.9bb per 100

OK so I've made 2 more big mistakes I didn't put to the front of my head this time because I was holding tptk and a set, I need to make sure I put hand reading and make the correct decision to what I out the opponent on

Hand 1 I hold 44 flop is 4 2 T turn is a 3 I bet bet and get reraised all in all in my thought process is *I'm pissed off he has A5 I call* I didn't even consider 56, it should be *I've been reraised here he has A5 iron 56 a straight witch beats my 3 of a kind so I'm folding and saving the money*

Hand 2 I have AQ flop is QhTh6d the player donk shoves for about 60bb I call. He has QT. My thought process is, *he's a fish he has nothing I'm calling* it should be *This all in is most likely to be 2 pair or a set, maybe tptk so I'm splitting the pot at best, I'm folding and finding a better spot*

I challenge myself to not make any big pot mistakes for 1000 hands

Hands 4200
Starting bankroll roll 11.80

Win rate 0.7bb per 100

Mann I had KK into AA vs a decent player, maybe I should fold them to a 5bet when there regs.

I failed my challenge after 100 hands player limps I check with 6s2s flop is 6h4d2c I bet and get reraised, here I should be folding this I know that, we end up going all in and he shows 64s my thought process is, he's a reg he limps and reraises he has an over pair, also I was thinking I dunno what he has but I think I'm beat.

It should be he has reraised me representing sets and a straight, or top 2 pair let's fold and find a better spot

Wow I'm playing really well, making lots of folds to reraises easily, I folded 3 of kind Jack's to a min reraise on a flush board, and fold of the match was

I have AK and 3 bet flop is AT6 3 players I call 2cence bet half pot on a 2 turn and the player donk shoves all in for about $1.75c on a Q river the pot was about 50c I fold, I put him on AQ

I can't wait until I get holdenmanager again, I love looking at the graphs
