So tonight I clocked another session of about two hours. I double tabled it again on Pokerstars playing two $5NL tables. Can’t really remember all that much remarkable. No crazy bad beats for or against me. I did not really get any great cards either. I think it was a combination of solid play on my part and soft play on the tables part. I don’t think I even took down a pot that was over $3 or so.
Yet despite that, I managed to grind out a nice win for the bankroll. I walked away from the two tables after just under two hours with a net of +$11. Not too bad doubling up my buy-in in 2 hours.
Not where I want to be – but on the right track. Like I said I don’t even feel like I played great cards. It was just a grind out session taking down pots mostly with aggression. Hey maybe that’s the secret. It definitely could have been more profitable, especially since the two tables were never even full tables. One was usually always like 8-9 players, and the other one was usually 5-6 so I had to loosen up a bit more on that one.
I am starting to feel my game adjusting. Not really “my game”, but I need to adapt my so-called poker game to these tables. It has been a while since I played this low and I needed to tweak my poker game a bit. Hopefully I don’t wreck what it was. But hey that is the goal of this experiment, blow up my old game and rebuild it from scratch.
Not bad to take a $5 initial bankroll and to turn it into 13x’s that in 13 hours of play. That’s basically doubling up the 5$ buy in each hour of play. Especially when you consider I had a couple problems trying to find my stride and adapt my game. Hopefully now it will start to snowball and I can get on a steady roll.
Good luck to you.
