I'm about a week away from my 10k update, but I want to get everyone up to speed on what I've been doing since my last post (2.8k hands).
I started out by opening a full ring $2nl and a 6-max $4nl hoping to create action at the higher stakes. I was fortunate enough to get some passive opponents playing heads up and short handed $4nl. After roughly 800 hands I was up about $10. Since I hit it quickly, I decided to take a 1 buy in stab at 10nl just to get a feel for it. Ended up coolering myself on a hand I should have let go (JJ). I was mad at the way I played the hand, but not too upset at losing the buy in because I intended to lose it. What I didn't intend was the short downswing combined with getting some more aggressive opponents at $4nl. Playing very shorthanded at $4nl has also hurt my $2nl play. The hands come so fast playing 2-4 handed that I find it very difficult to pay attention to the other table unless I'm in the hand. This is something I need to rectify, but it may not be an issue because...
With it being a holiday weekend I assumed there would be quite a bit of action and the games would be soft. So I got frisky and attempted a 5BI shot at $10nl. I ended up being correct and at the same time hit a disgusting upswing. It helps when your loose opponents stack off on you with a flush draw when you are holding top pair. I played 554 hands today with a winrate of 95bb/100 (47.5ptbb/100). So now I'm sitting at 21BI for $10nl. I think I am going to allow myself 2BI before I drop back down, unless the upswing continues.
More to come in about a week...
