May Update

Hey gang,

May has been pretty up and down for me. Seems I can't string together a few winning sessions. I have been having one winning session and one or two losing sessions right after that. Overall I'm +14 BI at the moment but I've put in almost 75k hands. I can't complain since this is my first month back on FTP. I'm hoping to get back to 200NL either next month or the following month. I plan to take some shots at 200NL and see how I do.

In other news I wanna give a big shoutout to Damn Ringer. He will be making videos for Cardrunners and he definitely deserves it. He has helped me a ton with my game and is just an overall great guy. So again, congrats Eric!

Cheers,

Mazzler

Getting Crushed.

Past few days I have been getting destroyed at the tables. Cbets getting raised, hands not holding up, etc. I really hope this is temporary because I was doing pretty well at 100NL (20BI) before these past few days came up. I'm also thinking about getting a coach to help me progress through the games. If anyone has any thoughts let me know.

Cheers,

Mazzler

April Results/May Goals

So April was sort of a goofy month for me. I was on Playersonly (Cake Network) but the games were completely dead and I didn't feel like moving to FTP until I checked out the new software they were coming out with on the 15th. So between the 1st and 15th I would check the PO lobby to see what games were running and it would only be the 5/10 green tables. If you aren't familiar with Playersonly, it is mostly a sports betting site that has poker as well. So the green tables are only for the Playersonly skin. This equates to massive fish with big stacks that love to gamble. Normally I play 1/2 or 2/4 but with no other games running I could 1 or 2 table 5/10 comfortably.

Looking at my HEM for April, I ran ridiculously hot. ~1600 hands for +2200. Adjust EV? -1600. I was lucky to win the flips and one KK > AA AIPF. Also tallied about 1k at 3/6 over ~900 hands.

In the middle of month I took a week long vacation to Miami with my gf and a couple friends. It was nice to take some time off but I had the urge to grind. So I hopped back on FTP because the new PO skin was terrible and played a couple sessions to get my feet wet. When we got back from vacation I just had grind on the mind and put in 40k hands from Sunday-Wednesday. In the end the final tally came out to be +1800 over ~40k hands at 100NL. I continued to run hot because my adjusted EV was ~+900.

It is definitely nice to run hot but it also gives me the false sense of security at the same time. I thought I was just playing well but I was just getting really lucky. Either way I'll take it.

SUMMARY-

42k hands +5k
RB - +800

Total: $5800

GOALS-

75k+ hands at 100NL
3BB/100 winrate
Study more poker through sweats, hh reviews, asking questions
Get back to the gym regularly

Cheers,
