cash game grind journey.. starting 7/20 ~ poker cash game group welcome

going to save up on some of my paychecks .05% each check/ sell some books on side/ and i also flip cell phones from ebay for profit in spare time to gain some extra cash..

i will start my live game adventures when i save up $1,000 in a seperate bank account for poker.. yes thats alot of money but i use to be a very successful razz player , and tournament player on ftp back in the day and made over 25g in that year following strict bankroll management..

that gives me 5x buy ins of play, which isn't ideal but playing 1/2 will hope to grind out a healthy profit.. overall i have played 1/2 live before and have always cashed out a winner in live cash games, profiting around $300-$400 in around a couple sessions.

guidelines
i will not put up more than .05% of my bankroll at any time

if i double up in a cash game i will sit up and leave

i will not be partaking in any tournaments , if i do go on a real heater playing in one it will be for only .02% of my bankroll because of the variance in these events.

7/20 is the start i will be playing on the nj website for cash games.. .01/.02 before than i am taking a break, and studying up on strategy

anyone that wants to play cash games starting a group discussion feel free to list your name below , we can have group chats.. and critique each others play on teamviewer.

later all

the turk

I think it would be ALOT wiser to spend .049% instead of .05% of each check. GL and you're welcome.

How often have you played live, and when you start to in the casinos (assuming you are playing 1/2), what are you gonna bring to the table for each session?

Word of advice from an old salt - avoid playing in the day (initially - the level of opponent is definitely easier at night), and buy-in for max (usually 200-300 depending on where you go)

i was down a buyin today had AJ vs a maniac raised preflop .. flop comes J T 8 .. he raised for pot i reraised half my stack, he called nomatter what card came on the turn i was going all in.. turn comes a T and he shows the T9..

i also lost 3 straight pots vs him where runner runner flush come out with 4 of a suit showing..

in any event it was a long grind today and i bounced back..

in fact he came on later on in the day and i won 2 hughe pots versus him, and stacked him for revenage..

so my profit for today is$2.89
total bankroll
------------------------------
$32.15 with a freeroll ticket to go

I'm taking notes, so far I've got:
I could run into a train headfirst, get brain damage, get a walmart min. wage greeter job, and make like quadruple an hour what a poker pro as good as your self makes per hour of grinding?

GL to you, but I'm off to find a train.

I owe you an apology LilTurkgirl... I'm sorry if in some way it seemed I was implying a Walmart greeter would make almost 4x more than your professional $2.13 cents and hour grinding average. I also apologize if it seemed like I was implying a 7yr old child would easily make more money than that hourly selling lemonade..or a homeless man might kill your profits in 15 mins holding a cardboard sign. Those were not my intentions, and I don't want you to think of those as truths.
I would also hate to point out that winning at least three of the PO tourneys would net more money than your grinding avg....so I won't do that. Facts are facts...YOU should be respected for the obvious talent and humility that you have day in and day out, and I am honored to not only share the same forum but also the same EXACT thread as you. I was overwhelmed by greatness and I humbly hope you accept my apology. I will take your advice and take notes, drink ton's of caffeine, and hope to one day grind 100 straight hours like THEE lilturkgirl in hopes to make $213 and pay almost a month's car payment. Thanks for your wisdom as always :)

i could of played better in the freeroll tonight in fact im a bit dissapointed i just basically threw a ticket away tommorrow im going to try my best, but honestly i am a bit sick of tournamnets.. im having alot more fun in the cash games, never felt that way before.. but i feel like im the best player at nl2 everytime i come to the table, and i realize i have some leaks in my game.. i'm going to work hard at them and plug them

bankroll atm $154.79 (+$15.80 got my $5 bonus today and just killed everybody in the cash games... it was a slaughter)

decided to mess around in client today with the donk crew.. im not going to play any poker today been playing alot lately going to set a shedule to play only 3 hours a night mon-fri.. thats more than enough for me 15 hours a week..

im registered for a tournament tonight but i really dont want to spend 4 hours stuck in a tournament , rather come and go freely with the cash games.

total bankroll atm $207.93 thats a increase of $53.14 ... (cashed out $1 in bonus have $24 left its hard to earn points grinding 1cent2cent games.)

i have been doing excellent in the ring games.. in fact i know i'm one of the best there i noticed one other shark at the table i avoid atm.

ill have updates next sunday

cant wait for nl 4 :) in august

good luck turk run them fool into the ground. Make us Rich

First, good luck, seems you are doing well so far. Are you still planning on playing live or just stick with the wsop site for awhile? My problem with playing live (other than the fact I'm not that good) is the rake. Where I play, and I think its pretty standard everywhere, they take out 10% for rake and another 10% for promos, the limit is $4 for rake and $2 for promos (this is 1/2 nl). So you really need to play big pots, which I usually try to keep pots low, minimize risk, which i guess doesn't work good in this structure.

I'd love to see some strategy posts from someone that has success at ring games, I seem to do better in tournaments than rings games, not sure what I do wrong. Again, gl, and let us know if and when you start playing live, I'm in delaware, used to go to AC a lot before they legalized it here, so just play at casinos here now, but I may go back once in awhile, maybe I'll see in a tourney there some time.

Absolutely I would love to play live.. Just remember at the micros use (kiss) keep it simple stupid.. No need to Cbet bluff in multi way pots.. No need to bluff, call marginal spots , or make fancy plays.. Just play tight use implied odds and isolate the fish.. Players at these levels are just idiots and I've played live in the past there morons at 1/2 i will not be doing any tournaments in ac.

I've been dabbing in 10nl the players are a little better that's it.. There nothing special i made a profit so far of a not so bad amount , should be more but I was uncomfatable moving up and made a few mistakes .. However I continued playing the past few days and now I still use kiss on them and I loosened up just a tiny amount cause it's 6max at 10nl .. And I'm able to grind a nice profit there..

I'm going to do live deffenately next month , also I will be at 25nl without a doubt next month.. I'll be sure to post a couple hands this Sunday!

Ty the Turk!

im just going to post this hand cause it was pretty sick to me

felt i had the best hand on the flop not thrilled being oop, obv theres a ton of draws out there.. flush,straight straws.. turn im checking to try and control the pot size i have history on sjs he bet half pot on a draw on the turn before, and im not convinced scc hit that 8, on the turn i check again and im faced with a sick hero call river bet.. and since scc checked down a set of twos before in a previous hand and plays the board carefully im leading to think he missed his hand.. i take a while and make the call other player folds and the turk is a genius!

this is why im the greatest play in the history of pokerowned! :cool:

thats not keeping it simple.. but i just have what hellmuth calls white magic

6max can make me go crazy.. I have to step away the rest of the week and restudy my game the 10nl players are weak but 6 max makes me tilt so I end up makingn stupid decisions..

Next week it's strictly 2nl and 4nl full ring than the following I'll take another shot at 6max 10nl my goal is to be at $280

Current br $245.07 (plus $37.14)

I'll be doing the Sunday free roll.. Gl

Wow wasn't going to play then i came home from work just to play a quick session.. And it turned into a 1 and a half hour slaughter at 10 nl up 23 and change ..

Attachment 3369

Ps once I get to 1k bankroll online I will finish and quit this thread ..

what a heater i went on the past 2 days ended the week at $301.85 crushing mainly nl 10 for over 60 dollars in 2 days and a total profit for the week for a little less than a hundreed.. not bad

im going to skip the freeroll tommorrow heading to the beach on my day off, and will be relaxing with a nice corona ..

turk out

im going to honest i ran into some terrible cards the past few days.. AA cracked by AT, pp against higher pp, KK i flop a set they call something stupid like J8 and river a straight, etc etc.. i tilted my br down to $250 and decided to cash out and recieve a check in the mail..

im going to take some time off, relook at my game and improve on it.. im going to deposit another $25 next month , and wont quiet until i work my way up to $25nl.. $10nl is the best i have been at in a very long time

i think when you play a bit too much online for me anyway you see so many hands, and begin to tilt.. so i will be sticking to just one table next time.. also i want to experiment in live play maybe friday, any event.. my main sticking point is tilt control and keeping a level head, thats why i cashed out.. and will improve on my emotions playing the game , i truely believe im not ment to multi table, so i will be staying away from that.

$250 minus $25 dollar deposit im $225 richer.. :) .. but still have alot of work to do .. cya all in a few weeks

seems like a very good progress...multi tabling has its benefits as well as its downfalls. I personally agree with seeing too many cards makes a player goes tilt....
