cliff diving
19 September 2008
Haven't really updated much this month, mainly because things haven't really been going well and I just haven't been motivated to post anything relevant. I've gotten a decent number of hours in at the 200nl tables this month, but the results just aren't there. I want to say that this is because I'm just running into the tops of my villains ranges (as I am not really finding spots where I absolutely hate my play), but at this point I'm not really sure anymore. I'll probably start posting some "problem hands" on Leggo in the next week or so as I review them more... validation that I'm not completely effing up would probably help my confidence right now.
I'm trying to work through the downswing by 2tabling 200nl instead of dropping back down the 4 tables of 100nl. This should (in theory) help me to range my opponents and follow game flow even closer than normal (goddamn you AP and your super fast mega turbo tables... fix the regular speed ones). Anyway, I'm not ready to step closer to the ledge, but I'll be honest and say that my ego is a little bruised. Hopefully this is all for the best though and my "luck" turns around soon.... I'd love to stop running poorly.

Sucky, but you'll pull through. You're more than equipped to be beating 200nl, it's just standard variance. Just a tip, after you post those hands you're looking at, go through all of the situations and look at close river decisions where you're pondering thin value or making a light call. That's usually a big spot that bleeds money from a winrate. And email me the links of your hands if you want my $0.02.
These runs are def good for keeping you humble & making you work at your game, so it's a long-term win-win for Team Moniker.
