My monthly upswing thread

[chinz]

I could make this a monthly tread! For those who missed, here's the previous one. (or just the final graph here)

And here's this month's upswing... I love poker! (the small DS at the beginning of this month is obv cut out to make the graph nicer... I just like those small sample upswing graphs so much)

Last time my run good continued for the first 14 days of the month, so I should probably play like 10 hours a day for now, right?

[Silverthunder]

awesome! That is just the first few days of the month. Stay focused and keep making the right plays.

[tmiby]

congrats! which limit?

All NL100 6max. I'm atm +$1k for this month, but I was down $424 at first, so I'm on a 14 buy-in upswing atm.

It's nice to run like this when taking shots.

oh, you were a 50NL player before and you are taking a shot at 100NL? Even better than just a typical upswing, then.

edit 9/24: nice job keeping the rally going this month!

I'm up $2.1k (+ rb & bonuses) this month now! I'm considering this shot taking succesful.

For first I ran very hot but now I've run something like $500 under EV for last few thousand hands, so I guess that evens it out. I think I'm less than $50 above or below my EV atm.

Anyway, here's the graphs:
Home
Laptop

Reason for my nonsd's being better on laptop (well, aside from the most obvious: small sample size variance) is that I'm only playing 4 tables because I can't fit more on my mini-laptops screen.

wow that looks sooo pretty)
Is this HU? Or mixed with 6-max? 100NL?

I hope one day I will see my nonSD winnings above zero...

It's about 10k hands of NL100 6max and a little NL50 and NL100 HU. I've been playing 6max lately for change.

I hope one day I will see my nonSD winnings above zero...

I don't really think that it's something worth trying to achieve. I'd be more concerned about the green line. Stuff like this would improve you're nonshowdowns a lot, but I still wouldn't suggest it.

In 6max my non-showdowns is probably close to breakeven in the long run (slightly losing if I had to guess), but in HU I'm a huge nonshowdown loser. That's because in HU there's much more people who can't fold and maniacs, and against those two player types I feel that trying to achieve posite nonsd would be very -EV.

omg omg omg. I'm actually now on the + side with my nonshowdown winnings for this month!

[chinz]

-$500 on my first NL200 shots. =(

TPTK vs. set in drawy board, bottom two vs. TP (nice suckout fish) and KJ vs AQs gutshot+fd on KJx twotone were the three big losers.
