Fixed Limit with Ava

Right, so first of all, welcome to blogging (duh)

Now, I've been around a bit more than most (ssshh I'm old) and I find it had to believe you're a losing player at FL.
I tried FL 0.5/1 FR on microgaming and family pots like 8/9-handed were the norm - and I mean the norm - so obviously when I raise my AA or whatever from utg I think LLLOOLLL how long will this last and accept it.

I know from experience of reading around Pokerstraegy that you're not an idiot at FL so, I will keep a close eye on this and see how you go.

Why? Because I'm a winning player at microNL (nl10/nl25) who would actually like to swap to FL but everybody makes fun of it (ego stuff), but Boomer is the nuts.
Oh, and I'm crap at FL obviously.

I'm watching....

Mal.

I like the part where you say that im not a total idiot ♦ haha thanks gadget51 hopefully i can reach my goals I really believe it.

Boomer is definitely the nuts , hes one of the most incredible people ive met over the internet.

oh i forgot to say im playing 6max and not FR. FR is sooooooo boring and slow can't take it lol ..

Day 1:

Hands played: 1008/800

As you can see I actually played more than the required 800 hands. Im quite happy as i could 8 table for 30 minutes which i do 2 times a day or will be doing rather.

what concerns me a bit is that i normally play like 30/20/10 .. But today i played between 25/18/9 and 27/20/9 .. But i guess that comes with the territory of increasing my tables played with 4 aka doubled my tables played. I still think i played well and I definitely took my time thinking about hands. There were only 2 - 4 minutes where I felt I was auto piloting. Quickly took a breather and got right back into it. So happy today

I have to start off with a graph and a hand just as a special treat and for good luck .

I just want to share this special hand of the day. Im quite sure its the biggest hand ive ever played in terms of pot size.

Day 2:

Hands Played: 983/800

Today I felt I played well again. with a little twist, the first session went okay i felt i played well and then i hit a wall. not a chance in hell if i was allowed to win a pot. everytime it seemed they waited for the river to raise their bot pair turned to trips on the river. on and on and on. so -60BB the first 30 minutes, not happy one bit but i had to continue playing as i need to reach my hand goal

30 minutes after a long due break. went even worse and in the same style. 46% w$sd yay. going so great

I can praise myself for releasing a 4000 VPP for the year bonus of whole

$10 !!!!!!!!!!

-134BB for the day .. sucks bad but have to get going tomorrow

Hi Ava,
nice to see you blogging!

Keep going, and good luck! This +-150 BB's can happen really easily, so just try to play your best! I'm not a big fan of 8 tabling FL SH, it's a huge jump from 4 tabling, and your game could suffer more than you think at first. Maybe you could try some 5-6 tabling for couple of hours, to see how your game change over that!

I take a look at the HM2, and I figured that out, I play better on 6 tables than on 4, because the higher concentration, but sometimes 6 table is more than I can handle, mainly if couple of 2-4 handed game's going on.

Keep going, see you at the 1/2 tables!

I researched that a lot before i started and practiced a lot of 8 tabling. and yes i do think it has to be the right number of tables. right now i just think im good enough for .5/1 8 tabling. when i have 2 monitors and 4 on each making it very comfortable and i have no trouble keeping up with things. I don't think my game suffers. In fact my BB and SB play has gotten better. at least im losing less than on 4 tables. I have played 6 tables for 70k hands and i know how that is. when i was grinding 5/10c exclusively. its no big deal 6 tabling. I just HAVE to try this .. crash and burn or be a hero. Now is the time

see you at 1/2

Hero?

You mean?

or

Blog Officially Spammed ♦

Chin up Ava, just remember the good days.

And if it helps any I ran 35/25 at SD in 200 hands for the coaching last night

lol boomer that helped so much you cant believe it .. and lol videos ♦ get me some lindsey stirling dub steps and im down for more. other than that FUCK OFF with the 80's crap music ♦

always dreaming about the good days.

Day 3:

As much as it pains me , I think i have to postpone my grind for goldstar. as recent news in personal life has made this seem very much impossible.

will ofcourse update on my playing still but its not going to be a .5/1 800 hands per day grind. Im very sad because i was really looking forward to it.

sad story

On the bright side i finally got my 122mm gun on my kv-1s in world of tanks ♦ going for the IS series.

So I have changed my goals a bit here due to the lack of time. for playing plenty I decided to reach a nice round number in BBs at 5/Tc .. partly due to i can relax and play 8 tables and still be a 3BB/winner. grind up a few dollars.

Then when i have more time move up again to 25/50c - .5/1 and take it easy there, i think 800 hands was too much for my current bankroll size. if it went like hell my br couldn't withstand it unfortunately.

Perhaps it's the 8 tables that hurts the most. If you are human you will net a BB or two less per 100 when 8-tabling. Just a thought.

/Johan

well ofc my game deterioates when playing more tables. but 8 tabling really isnt all that hard. and it shouldn't take more than max .5 to 1BB per 100

Guess it's a matter of practicing. I am comfortable with 3 tables, unless I want to keep an eye on my opponents. Then I play only 2.

/Johan

multi tabling is a skill that can be nurtured and developed like our general poker skills. some like it and some dont. some are naturals some aren't. a few naturals would be nanonoko and wizardofahhs on stars(both 24 tabling mid stakes nl to get SNE). hell even Isildur1 who has been seen to play 3 - 4 guys hu at once.

jorja something in sngs ive seen play near 50 tables of sng 9man.

Goals for the month:

Play more volume than ever before. So lets start off with 11965 hands for a single month. (I moved down to have much less stress because of personal life)

so im the happy grinder of 5/Tc .. Which also gives me a safe enviroment to keep practicing 8 tabling. so far im running around 3.6BB/100 so all is well on the result from im guessing.

so far I have played 4134 hands over 5 days this month.

4134/12000 hands

will update with a nice graph when i reach every 5k I get to play or shall we say 10k what you guys think? So soon a nice little tidbit . and for myself since i decided not to watch the graphs and how im doing also as an exercise

One thing about BRM ive learned about myself recently is that I really feel i need to be way overrolled to feel safe and play my A+ game all the time. Also I still need to work on not overplaying so much ♦
