Here is a shocker. A poker update!

Floating Cards? Magic Trick?
The lack of poker posts on my blog would suggest I haven’t been playing. Well I have been playing, almost daily for the last week and at the very least a few times a week before that. Unfortunately I’ve simply been spinning my wheels so I haven’t had much exciting to report or even discuss. Almost every session I end about even (which isn’t all bad I suppose). I’m still multi-tabling $5NL (.02/.05) and to put my rut into perspective, in the last week my bankroll has been as low as $406 and as high as $418 and currently rests at $414. Boring.

Now I’ve played some $10NL in the last month and for the most part it’s gone well, so I’m thinking a move up may help break my rut. I’ve just always argued that I can play for the same stacks at $5NL as I can at $10NL (both $10 buy-ins) but the risk is less for those stacks at $5NL. Yeah, you might want to read that again, but don’t say it three times fast. I think the logic is there, but I feel like moving forward at $5NL is becoming a chore, so here is hoping $10NL allows for some traction. Check back soon for what I hope is a positive update on my travels through $10NL.

    You could try upping the volume. 5 tables isn’t so different from 4. Also the difference between NL5 at stars and tilt are a world apart. I think it has something to do with the deepstacked nature of NL5 on stars that makes it a bit trickier (imo). A move to FT will give you RB as well which makes such a difference. lol I don’t work for them ;) but it changed my game overnight!

    I hover between 3-4 tables, it seems to be my comfort zone. Anything more than that and I find myself not having the time I would want sometimes. I’m sure the deep stacked Stars 5NL changes things a bit, I agree. I officially made the move to 10NL this weekend (update coming soon) so we’ll see how things go. I have some money over at Full Tilt, I just always seem to come back to PokerStars though. Thanks for stopping by, good luck!
