Grind For A Fortune

Not much interesting hands today except all the suck outs.

I feel like I can beat these guys but Stars beats me.

Standard? LOL.

Gonna get some rest now and hope for a better tomorrow. :)

Last December of 2010, I actually quit my job as an engineer and set out to pursuit my poker life.

During these crazy days, I have no idea what really happened and I've been struggling playing 25~50NL 6max.

So I decided to give PLO 6max a try and I simply just couldn't handle the variance.

Playing PLO tilts me really bad and I feel like my poker career is done.

Can you imagine playing poker for 10 months and keep losing money for every fucking month?

However, I came across Threads13 FR series on DC few days ago.

So playing FR came across my mind cuz I want to at least reach Supernova this year for that 4k bonus.

I figured the fastest way to earn VPP with lowest variance is to multi-tabling 50NL FR.

So far, I think I'm doing OK at this level.

I'm not sure if I'm just on an upswing or what but at least I know my confidence is back.

Hopefully I'll be able to move up to 100NL by the end of this year.

I'll update my result and post some interesting hands everyday.

BIG THANKS to Threads13 for making those good video series. :)

Definitely looking forward to buying your coaching once I manage to get to 100NL.

Here's the result of my 50NL FR adventure starting from 04-Nov:
