Running well

Playing 200nl now has really brought my attention to how the size of your edge will affect your swings and how the stronger players are less affected by a couple of key hands in a match. For instance last night I played for about an hour and had a session where I had a typical "bad" session, ie draws missed, overpairs lost etc. but I still managed to end up about half a buyin from stealing lots of small pots and 3betting and 4betting PF. I know I've been running very well but its still nice to feel confident about your results.

I'm back in London now so I don't expect that I will get too much playing done after next week but I'm going to try to play on the weekends. My BR is at about $13500 now after I withdrew about $1200 so things are looking good. When I hit $15k I'll play $500nl but I must admit I'm tempted to move up a little sooner!

Just a quick update

Basically poker has been going pretty well recently, I've played a little bit on most days and I've been on a pretty hot run over the past few days. Current BR is approx $13k, when I hit $15k I'm going to move up to 500nl because the games here are just so juicy and I feel like I have a big edge. I'm going to withdraw about $1k a month though so that I can get the benefits of playing and make it feel a little bit more serious and joblike. So because of this I might not be able to move up for a month but thats ok.

The final video of the current series should be up soon - either late tonight or earlyish tomorrow.

Anyway take care guys and good luck at the tables.
