bunch of nl cash

so i've mainly been playing 50nl 6-max of late. i feel i have a lot better mindset for tackling these games now than i did back last summer. i managed to play about 6k hands of 50nl at the end of january finishing down a little over two buy-ins. i was up as much as 7 early and then had a horrid session losing close to 9 buy-ins over a stretch of 1800 hands.

i had a coaching session last week which went well and re-affirmed a few things i was doing well and addressed a few areas where i could be leaking money. since the beginning of february i've played about 3.1k hands and am up 9 buy-ins i believe. definilty running hotter than expectation but i think im starting to get a better grasp at the games as well. one thing for sure, the 50nl games on full tilt probably play like 10/20 nl live. it's unbelievable, i spend so much time hopping tables since there are plenty more tags than there are fish in the games. still, i think i'm playing the tags well and even though most have good pt stats, i find they are still making some fairly big mistakes against me.

so far i think im playing pretty close to 20/17 with an af > 3. the af should come down some as the sample size gets bigger. i'm hoping to start reviewing hands in the blog but for now i don't have pokertracker holdem on this computer which makes it hard.

i think i've only had a chance to play two tournies since my last post, one i busted early i believe and the other, surprise surprise, i finshed 31st out of 1198 people for another close but no cigar finish.

i withdrew 4k from ftp yesterday for my vegas trip and a few expenses that have come up. i think i'll end up having around 3k to play with in vegas + a few extra bucks for the odd time i'll actually eat. i guess i've pretty much passed off the idea of playing in any events at the wynn while im there. if they have satellites and i have time i might hop in one of them but i'm not going to plunking down 1.5k on one tournament. i still have time to hit a decent score in a tourny online but variance makes it unlikely. for the next month i will probably only playing mtt's on tuesday nights and even then i'll probably only play the 7pm $75 and the 8pm $26 on ftp. upon coming back from vegas i might stick some money on another site since i think there have to be softer spots online than full tilt right now. the problem is finding a site that i can get rakeback on, supports pokertracker and pahud and has the soft traffic im looking for.

not sure how long i'll play 50nl for but will probably just move up based on feel and what my winrate is over a more significant sample.

til next time.
