This is my graph of cash winnings in August. The first big drop is when I was playing awfully, and was down $100 in a session but managed to pull about $60 of it back. Then things were going pretty steady. I tried to play on Crypto again, but it just didn't work. I get rakeback there so I think I should play there, and they have recently introduced re-sizeable tables, but I just can't win there and don't like the look of it.
Then I thought I would give FullTilt one final shot, as rakeback would make a difference. Although I have always done really badly on FullTilt, I thought I should give it another go. Things started very badly...
- I raise to 85c on thebutton with 77, and the BB calls. The flop is A-10-7. The BB bets the pot and I call. The turn is an A. BB bets the pot again and I push. He calls with 10-10. Nice. -$23.60
...but after this everything went well. I found the play very poor and I won fairly consistently. After a good session, I decided to give a $24 MTT 6-max a spin, but sadly busted in 51st place (out of 350). The cash continued to go well, and I got to the point where I could move up to $50NL. I was feeling pretty confident, and it went like this...
- I raise in the cut-off to $1.75 with Ah5h, and the button abd SB call. The flop is 4-6h-4. We all check. The turn is Qh. We check to the button, who bets $5.75. The SB calls. I think this is a marginal call if I was drawing to the nuts, but with a paired board it is a horrible call. But I called. The river is Kh. SB checks, and I feel I have to value bet and bet $15. The button folds and the SB pushes. I pretty much know I am dead but can't fold. I call and he shows 44 for quads. -$46.75
- It is folded to me in the cut-off and I make it $1.75 with JJ. The BB calls. The flop is 10-7-5. The BB checks, I bet $2.50 and he makes it $8. I'm not sure on the best way to play this, but I make it $15, which I don't think is a horrible play, as I may have the best hand but can fold if he re-raises. He calls. The turn is a 10. Now I don't beat much, and we both check. The river is a 3 and he bets $11. The pot is now $44, and although I don't beat anything, I call. He shows 55. -$27.75
- UTG limps, the SB completes and I check the BB with A4. The flop is A-5-2. I bet $1 and UTG calls. The turn is a K. I check and UTG goes all-in for $20.75. This is such an obvious fold. But not to me, and I called. UTG had 34. -$22.25
So all together I lost $138 over 520 hands at $50NL - very disappointing. I played absolutely awfully, I thought everyone was trying to make a move on me, but I should've just been much more patient and have gotten to know my table before I made any big moved. Nest time I will be a lot more patient before I move up.
Anyway, Now I have to win another $100 at $25NL before I can move up. I have played one session and made back $43.95, so hopefully it won't take too long before I am at $50NL again.
Bankroll - $1260.84
