O shoot. I wanted to post something like this a few days ago and thought about exactly what you just wrote too, among some other things I forgot to include. ah well...
Thanks for adding.
Those DON's really seems like a good deal, finishing in top 5 can't be too hard, can it?
btw gl with your exams!
I'm a bit of my game last few sessions. I had a loosing session too (finally 
), down to 9bb/100 (which I still can be thankfull for). I notice a little bit of tilt too, so I think I need to take it easy for a few days and concentrate more on reading some articles or other study material. Have to do that anyway, so this is a good time. Also the reason I wrote that long post ;).
I think it's time to set some goals for myself, so I did. I posted them in the intro.
Progress Update :club::diamond::heart::spade:
I've been off my game for a little while. Sometimes this happens to me and it's the strangest thing. I'm playing but I don't really know what to do. It's like I forgot how I've been playing all this time. I just can't remember if I used to call, 3bet, or something else in certain spots. That's the weirdest thing, I just forget how to play sometimes, I don't understand it but it happens every now and then.
But today I had the feeling I'm getting back on track and played with confidence again. Had a nice and pretty aggressive session at party.
Also my br will get some nice bonus boosts soon. I still have to clear $57 at Mansion, and I already have enough points to buy another $100 bonus. I almost cleared the $70 at stars, which didn't take as long as expected. And I almost have anough points at Party to buy a $100 bonus as well. Hopefully I can hit nl$50 sh soon!
NL25 SH
14200 hands
+$360

One of my goals was to make a video playing $25NL SH, so I did! I posted it here.
DISCLAIMER: BY READING THIS POST I AGREE TO DOWNLAD THE VIDEO AND COMMENT ON IT AT THE LINK SPECIFIED.
Progress Update :club::diamond::heart::spade: Didn't play a whole lot. Had some days going up and down. I didn't feel like playing poker all that lot. At the end I was breaking even, but today I ran quite hot again. I won 3 buy-ins in 350hands. After a while of humps and dumps My little mountain just hit its highest point up till now. So time to celebrate before it goes back down!
NL25
21000 hands
+$480
9.16 bb/100
Time to recalculate my bankroll, cause I wouldn't know ;):
Party:$245 + $70 bonus to clear
Stars: $410
Mansion: $240 + $50 + $100 bonus it clear
...adds up to $895 + $220 bonus. nice!
I want $1500 before giving 50NL a shot. Well maybe $1300 and get back when below $1200 ![:]](https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")
.Can't wait to get to $100NL! that's where the real serious monies begins for me.
Progress Update :club::diamond::heart::spade:
An update to me and the guy that has set my blog as his homepage :).
I'm still not able to play a lot of poker. I did play some more nl25 and I was grinding a bonus playing limit at Mansion. Well, I got the bonus cleared. I just lost a lot doing so ♦. I don't wanna play at mansion anymore. Their software freaks me out. And that's not a good thing when I'm losing :evil:. So I already calculated I would have enough points to buy a $100 bonus when my present one was cleared. But I'm not grinding that out! I changed my plan and are going to buy some $22 tournament tickets instead. Gonna spend those on 6max sng's and cash out the winnings. I already cashed out the rest.
After that it's no more pokerstrategy points for me. So I bought a 6month membership at some other training site (vids). They have a lot of small and mid stakes vids, so that should be good for me to prepare for 100NL.
After playing the sng's at mansion I'm probably gonna take a little shot at 50NL, with a stop-loss limit of $100.
Last 8 days at NL25:
7793 hands, $380.26 =), 19.25bb/100. I'm the best at running good!
Progress Update :club::diamond::heart::spade:
So I traded my Mansion Club Points for tournament tickets which I played today. I bought 4 $22 and 2 $33 entries. I played 6max sng's with all of them this morning and they went horrible. A lot of bad beats! It's a shame because both $33 were total donkfests and I ended up in the money at neither one. I got 1st and 2nd one time in the $22's for a total of $120.
Feels good cause I was kinda freerolling. Better than grinding a $100 bonus ♦ .
But still, I could have won a lot more! But still I'm happy.
Goodbye Mansion

Always a nice surprise :). What happened, you don't get ps points anymore?
Progress Update
I've been taking shots at NL50, but it didn't go as well as I've been doing before. I'm having quite some trouble adjusting to the betting amounts, which makes me less comfortable. Just takes me some time to get used to, more than expected.
Other than that, I've had way more bad beats and cold decks than I've had before at NL in such a short period of time. I've also made more stupid/tilty mistakes in big pots.
Luckily I've had one huge winning session too, so I'm only down a bit over one buyin.
I'm giving NL50 one more shot. If that won't be a winning session, I'm moving back to NL25 until I get a couple of $100 dimes more and return with more confidence. I already violated my brm rules a bit and I'm planning too use a nittier brm in the future because I know I'm playing much more comfortable when I'm overrolled.

Progress Update

I stopped playing for a while after losing over 2 BI at NL20, and now Im clearing the Mansion bonus on NL4 LOL
Ill be silver again in no time though.
Progress Update :club::diamond::heart::spade:
I've been playing some more NL50 and I fail to really get my feet on the ground there. I am somehow running worse there. A lot of 'nut'-type hands I loose like set over set a couple of times. But besides that, I really play bad. Running really bad still makes me tilt. I make so many mistakes, and a lot of them for big pots. I get too aggressive against the wrong people and stuff like that. I'm really not satisfied with my play and am letting my feelings getting in the way too much.
Thats why I decided to go back to NL25 where I'm very confident by now. At least till I have $1750. Than I'll take another shot, but I will really analyse my plays that time. Only play two tables in the beginning, post hands and probably record everything so I can watch it back.
I'm making mistakes at NL25 too, but despite those mistakes I keep winning continiously.
Also the different betting sizes at NL50 still really give me trouble.
NL50:
7044 hands
-$286.63
-8.14bb/100
I also played more at NL25 and luckily that went sweet.
NL25:
last 6735 hands
$334.81
19.89bb/100
So back to NL25. Maybe I'll try playing six tables at a time. I usually play 2-4 tables.
I'll be dropping down to bronze soon 'cause my accounts aren't tracked. Of course I forgot to save the gold strategy articles on my computer :(.
Hey guys I'm back. Prepare to be stunned by a new shot at NL25. I will crush it like I was born to.
My haitus from poker has been very long and very good. I will enjoy pokering with you guys again.
If you want to hear about what ive been doing, don't hesitate to ask.
