Final Board:




FullTilt Bankroll is up to $8802.45 after a $500+ downswing last week. After another $1200 ($10k bankroll) in profit...I look to test the waters at 200nl. The aggression of opponents at 100nl has greatly increased since my start, but the play has been no better than at 50nl. I have a good base of player info by datamining the 100nl level. I use this info to help in my table selection.

New informational poker website...

Check out a website I have discovered in the last week. http://www.tableratings.com/ They provide many details for the most/least desirable tables being played in real time...Also provides win/loss for all players at 100nl and above.

https://www.tableratings.com/replayer/index.php?player=birdiemachine&opponent=&site=fulltilt&hash=1IkrNaahGJd7x99djM4Pc9ezC8SlJp5ELan%2Fm%2BGeIYFlg1azN8Fqt57Bd0Je2zhUK6TJja%2BrgLaNGIbJvm7VkULTASLdmgso

I think the above link will play a session from the other night...I will be using this instead of hand histories in the future.

Not giving up...

When I play online, I almost always muti-table somewhere between 4 and 9 tables. My ability to recognize +EV situations by floating, multi-barrell bluffs and PF 3 and 4-betting is greatly increased when I play fewer tables. The use of PAHUD with Pokertracker is essential for anyone playing more than one table considering the player base in the low stakes games.



I have been fairly conservative in trying to steal pots as I have transitioned into 100NL, but with nearly $500 in winnings (including rakeback) over the last week, it is time to turn up the heat. I look to work on my floating situations and when the opportunity is best to steal pots in position.



I still believe play has been much weaker at 100nl than 50nl with another 800+ hands added over the last two days. I have won $173.60, and look to see an increase in rakeback as I have moved up in limits. Bankroll at $8408.60.


Not letting a player float me...

I need to remember to make notes of players and their poor play...This is probably my biggest weakness...not enough notes for specific past plays. My use of the PAHUD has valuable in recognizing players to bluff, by barrelling C-Bets or PF 3-bets with rags. Going back now to make notes on this player...

Quick update...I played another 23 minutes tonight pushing my daily win to $416.10. It is the biggest winning day at cash games I have had since the Neteller left the US market. Bankroll now stands at $8651.10.

Play is different so far...

My first 600 hands at 100nl seem much less aggressive than at 50nl. The sample size is too small to make an accurate judgement, but I have been 3-bet PF very little in comparison to 50NL. Even the post-flop play has been weak. I have tried to exercise better table selection when I sit at a table...maybe that has been a big reason for my success.



I won $122.45 in 198 hands tonight as I wanted to watch the VP debate. Bankroll moves to $8235.07.

I love this type of player...you may pay them at first, but keep betting for value when they can't draw to that flush, 2 pair or trips.

Monthly progress...

I have spent the last 9 months building my bankroll from $4k to $8k mainly playing 50nl and 25PLO with a little 100NL and 50PLO mixed in. I usually play 6max with a sprinkling of heads-up sessions. Very rarely have I played Full Ring. Below I am going to list my FullTilt Balance as I progressed from month to month...

January - $4000
February - $4993.45
March - $4733.70
April - $5394.75
May - $5390.80
June - $6587.17
July - $7067.54
August - $7078.22
Sept. - $7633.58
October - $8112.62

All of these numbers include bonuses, rakeback and win/loss for each month.

I only had one losing month with 2 other months basicly a wash. May was my best month as I won almost $1200. March was my worst losing $260.


Hands to note from last night...
