November Wrap Up

November is officially over and despite the month starting off extremely good, it ended on a pretty bad note. The last week or so I've been running terrible....I have never been outdrawn on the river so much in my life! Today I finally had a winning session in about a week (and it was a big one!). But before I talk about today I'll wrap up November (more particularly my 200NL venture)

I ended up playing 200NL for about 2 or 3 days, the first day was more or less breaking even while the next two days i dropped about 600$. It's obviously not much b/c its only about 3 buyins, however they all generally came from mistakes where I found myself overthinkin things. I talked to a lot of people that have moved from 100nl to 200nl and the conclusion is basically stick with your game and make adjustments from there.
I think I was pretty 'overwhelmed' but the shear amount of money on the table at 200nl. I had a hard time adjusting to the massive pots, I mean only like 2 weeks prior I was still playing 50NL. After those couple of days, I came to the conclusion that I was playing my C game at 200nl, because I was just not comfortable with the level. There would be situations where I would 3bet preflop and didn't feel very comfortable 3betting because it made the pot too big! lol! i know! I feel like I moved up wayyyyy to fast. I mean it was only a few weeks prior that I was playing for an avg pot of 10$ at 50nl, and now i'm playing pots that average around 40-50$. So to make a long story short, I have basically dropped to 100NL for now until my comfort level is adjusted and i'm ready to make a move again. I think I will start mixing 200NL tables with my 100NL tables soon.

Anyway, more recently 100NL hasnt been going too good. As I said I've been running pretty horribly and have been having huge losing sessions the last week. However today was a really nice booster, I had a giant winning session! I played a really long session today 12tabling 100NL. I set up a new layout for my tables and i really enjoy it. So far (I might play later tonight again) I played around 2.5K hands and ended the day at 15bb/100. So far I'm about +800, obviously a huge winning session! Below is my PT graph for the day. I think this might be the biggest winning session i've ever had.




I just love the huge spikes upward! w00t. Anyway, in other news I downloaded a program that allows me to record my desktop, so I think i'll be makign some videos of me playing. Hopefully they turn out good and I can fix a few leaks here and there!
