Today Was A Good Day

Well, today was a great day. I could have asked much more from what I was doing. It is amazing to notice how some people are either completely donking around at the .02/.04 limit level, or doing whatever they are doing. The one nice thing to notice about this is that they will give you plenty of chance to win a big pot. I ended up taking a pot that was 3 bet preflop between 3 player, and then capped on every street after I had flopped a set, so there was over 25 BB in the pot.

I was also doing some thinking between last night and today about when to move up. I was thinking when I had something along the lines of 200-300 BB for the next level I would move up. That would be somewhere around a $20-$30 bankroll for me to go up to the next level of $.05/.10 limit. I also was trying to do a little math to figure out when I would be able to get there, and if I could manage to win between 3 and 4 BB/100 hands, which is definitely doable at this level, I should get there after 15000ish hands. I think that a winrate of that or even possibly higher with some of the play at this level is definitely attainable.

As for today, I managed to play a little over 1100 hands, all of .02/.04 6 Max limit poker. Again, I found myself spewing some bets, and going into a hole when I first started. I was down about 30BB in the first 100 hands and then had to make a comeback, which I did nicely. On a sidenote, I did happen to get pocket 7s 14 times today (way to many times) and did not flop or get a single set :(

Getting 1000 or so hands a day could get me to move up to the next level in about 2 weeks, which will be nice. Grinding is ok, not that great, but grinding pennies is not that fun :)

Tomorrow I will have to do a little work with a friend, so I don't know how much I will be playing, though I am sure that I will try to get some time played in the evening.
