Sigh

After making it back to break even, I went on another turbo slide at 200NL, worse than the last. This graph tells the picture rather well I think.




Since I got back to break even the EV line has split pretty hard. I've yet to win a flip for 100bb this month. My last session of 200NL saw me ship AmexCenturion about 4 buyins thanks to him always having the nuts against me. Had AK < JJ on xxKJA. Obv he peels the flop with his underpair and turns a set. Then later he got me with KT when I held AQ on a QJ9xA. There were a LOT of hands like this.

After the 2nd slide I moved back to 100NL (even played some 50NL HU for +110$) and have recovered some of the losses. Going to give my head a break from the mindfuck that 200NL was turning into. If I can keep breaking even at 100NL I'll be back some time next week.

Here's the highlight of the night against a 60/40/5 spazmonkey.

We return you to your regular scheduled programming



So me and 200NL kissed and made up. After my 3rd session I was down 1700$ and just about to go back to 100NL with my roll teetering around 4k. I am now crushing 200NL for a solid 0.07ptbb.

I stopped my session a little early because I felt like I was starting to play overconfidently, if that makes any sense. 3700 hands left to give Luske some competition in our winrate contest.

200NL is not my friend.





That is all.

NYRPS II Kicks Off

Personally, I'm in Rambler's latest series for bragging rights (I have ~100$ riding in various prop bets). It should be fun regardless. Event #1 goes tonight at 10PM EST, deepstack NLHE. Sign up and make me work for this prop bet!

Also, to recap November's goals:

- 10k hands of 100NL @ 5 ptbb
16k hands at 10.6ptbb!
- Get above 3k for good
Brushing with 6k
- Don't get doomswitched
Check
- Be patient and save next 200NL shot for December
Check
- When I bluff, take lines that make sense
Mostly check
- Bluff less
Check

November was definitely one for the books.

Here's the big picture graph updated
