this has been a milestone i've been wanting to hit for a long time now ever since kimseongchan's blog post when he made his first 1k day... i dont usually play more than 3k hands a day max, its only 5 buyins so nothing too special but im still happy < ^ _ ^ >
i mostly had to focus on exams so didnt play too much, managed 30k hands.
200NL is harder then 100NL but mostly just in the ratio of fish-to-regs. i was battling for a bit at the start but managed to come back and run good :D made sick fpps too by my standards at least (about 40,000)
ran good in sets, first time i've seen this ever being so much blue. pretty sick since sets = profits so much in full ring
and lastly EV
Overall!
ive learnt not to do gay check raise with air attempts just because im bored. they never work, and ive lost at least 400 from doing them if i can cut back on that and try to patch my won w/o showdown then i would be up heaps more
so in summary i ran like jesus for most of this month, only 30k so small sample i guess but i hope i do alright once i stop flopping sets. if not, and i do get raped by either a downswing or just neutral variance, well it was fun while it lasted, and i have 14 buyins to lose before i ever move down so hopefully that wont ever happen.
if i do keep on winning, then im taking shots at NL400 when my roll hits 9.2k. hope i can do it next month but im working full time so its unlikely. but my roll is at 6750 now so its possible, maybe, i can dream :D
things in poker have been pretty crazy for me lately, after being dormant for so long in the micro stakes things have really exploded and i've shot up a lot. i played alot this month, 60k hands which is the most i've ever played, and things worked out well.
here's my lifetime graph now :O
May graph:
May bar graph, by day:
so my summary stats of all the months up until now is pretty satisfying... poker really is about how much work you put into it i guess, since everyone runs good and bad in the long run.
my PT stats, maybe someone who plays FR will find these useful. also let me know/criticize anything u think could do with improving, i think my VPIP in SB might be questionable, not sure.
i should probably play more 6 max, 61 bb/100 >_<
im staying aggressive with my move ups, so i'm taking my shots at NL200 and im going to keep on repeating a 3 bi shot as many times as it takes to become a permanent regular at NL200 FR games.
here is my graph of my shot at NL200, it was pretty boring so i edited it a bit to make it more appealing
as for the future, i really cant play much for the next couple of months as i have uni exams, and then work for a month, but i'll still play casually when i can. in coming months my aim is to immerse myself in the game and just jump into the tables at whatever stakes im rolled for, be in NL400, NL1k, anything i have 23 buyins for. even if there are 8 other better regs at the table, hopefully i will learn from my mistakes. so when if/when i ever hit 9.2k, NL400 here i come i have no issue with taking multiple 3 bi shots, as im really aiming for long term goals rather then short term atm, and i dont need the money to cash out for the time being.

if i can cut back on that and try to patch my won w/o showdown then i would be up heaps more
