Back to $5/10 NL !!!
So, I have a massive bankroll online for $5/10 NL now and have moved back up. Honestly, I really should have kept playing $5/10 NL over the past few months but a few things (buying a house, paying taxes, staking three poker players, etc.) put dents into my online bankroll to the point where I felt spread a bit too thin to play $5/10 NL.
So FINALLY, I have returned! I feel like my play is actually improved over the last time I treaded in the 1k NL waters. My first day back was very swingy and I'm not even sure how I ended up on the day. If I had to guess I'd say I broke even. I do remember getting coolered a ton though. Today went much better as I ended up winning 5 buyins in total. This was quite the accomplishment since I got coolered a few times today as well.
Here's a golden hand from today. Villain is a MASSIVE fish.
I also lost KK vs AA today, and the hand played out in a way that it was a pretty standard cooler.
This one happened yesterday, but is definitely blogworthy. Villain in this hand was also terrible.
I played this hand yesterday as well... total WTF hand. I couldn't see him taking this line on such a wet board with 4X... plus it didn't make any sense that the 2 on the river could have helped him (I see a lot of big donks just open shove the river OOP when the river card somehow hits them in the face).
Overall, I feel that I've played quite well over the first 4,300 hands back at $5/10 NL. I am spewing a little bit in medium pots and I need to try and minimize this. Also, I need to make sure I'm paying attention to table dynamics and how I'm perceived by my opponents... this will help me make perfect pre-flop decisions.
