50nl makes my nose bleed
so i made it to 1000$ on day 12. i.e mar 12. this 1000$ was made up of my 300 initial deposit, just over 400 in winnings and 70 in rb and 220 in bonus release (and had another 10$ accumulated but not released.
i was really happy to have gotten there reasonably quickly because it was my first target and i was itching to get to playing 50nl. i’m not sure if i was really beating 25nl comprehensively and did consider for about 1 second whether i should move up straight away or not. i guess i only won 12BI’s and say 2BI in RB and i was running above EV so it did cross my mind as to whether i should just hang around at 25nl. I just went straight on to 50 nl as i felt that i was prob beating 25nl in reality especially over recent days as i did drop 4-5 BIs on the first day and played some really bad poker on some days early in the month and that i had deffo impoved a good bit since then with the help of reviewing some of my hands on DC forum. Anyway here i am now on DAY 19. I playing 50nl and my balance now stands at just over 1400$ in my FT account after having just received 133$ in RB this morning so i am needless to say very happy with my progress so far. i have one itching reservation though and that is that i am running a good bit above Allin EV and i wonder how much is me running good and how much is me actually beating 50nl. Ironically I managed to drop several BIs on my first couple days a 50nl but have posted sometning like 5 winning days in a row at 50nl to recover and get well into the black. so that’s all for now. hopefully my next blog will be more positive news and progress.
