I have actually been playing daily, just being lazy about updating the blog so here we go. :)

PokerStars

$10NL – Played 51 hands in one session, $10.65

Tournaments:

  • $1.10; 1,852 entries; Finish: 558th; -$1.10
  • $2.20; 958 entries; Finish: 99th; $3.64

The last week has been kind of variable, but we wiped out all our losses from some marginal NL play and recovered my entry fees for some MTTs I’ve been playing. I’ve recently added MTTs to my play mix since it seemed like a nice way to vary my play and utilize the skills I’m gaining in no-limit cash. MTT play is different than NL cash, but not significantly so. IF anything MTTs require patience and self control. Especially at these micro buy-ins where you have to navigate a veritable minefield of crazy play early on. I’m having to bunker down and be very selective in my application of aggression.

I’m fairly happy with how $10NL is going. My move up in limits started decent, and then tapered off with not major advances in my bankroll. I had a brief setback followed by today’s play where I stacked a player. I was pretty happy about that. Play at 10NL is only slightly different than $5NL. There seem to be fewer maniacs, and a few more “good” players. Its more common to see pre-flop raises of the proper amount, but this still get pretty passive post flop and an aggressive player can do fairly well.
