Then your not a master until you can play and surf at the same time as me. If you cash tables you should try turbo tables as it orbits faster than normal tables which should help increase your hands a bit faster.
Do you play single tables or two or three? I find two is enough for me and is better than just playing a single table(Stops bordom on one table too)

Holy Crap did I ever just have a great session on PStars. Just s**t down all 16 of my tables at the 0.01/0.02 NL Holdem tables on PStars. I started with a Banrkroll of $53.25 Now after a few hours of grinding and really playing my "A" game. I would say that I crushed the tables in the 800 - 850 hand session. Current bankroll is ... $69.41 That is an increase of $16.16 which is over 800 big blinds. That is crushing the fishes
Hope your day is going well on the tables too mate

I think £5 profit a session is a good enough return for myself at the stakes I am on. It may be small but I will take any profit.
I had a bad small session earlier after I last posted in here. Got done over by a calling fish when I had QQ and he had 5,10 suited. You can guess what happened by the river lol. see how I do with my nightly session before bed later.
Glad you are making a stead profit with each session. Keep up the good work.

U made a great return back in ur roll after last night's "misfortune" mate good one! Do try to stick with the plan this time around ... I'm following ur thread/blog with a lot of interest to see the result of playing with a plan/goal and it would be a shame just to read in a few days that for whatever reason you went to high stakes again and blown it lol. Don't take me wrong, u spend ur money the anyway u want to it's your business.. I'm just saying that would be a shame if u missed your target coz of discipline not gameplay..

I think Ronin has learnt from past losses and not following a strict BR so I have great faith he will do well this time. He has shown has can win money and come back from big losses so now its just about him sticking to the way and taking it seriously.

Nice session Ronin
Sometimes the pokergods are with you and sometimes they don t...
But that s the reason you have to follow a BR-management. As you multitable16 tables profitable .. .I am sure your bankroll will increase , maybe not till 25 k but I guess over 1k defenitely (as long as you keep up playing your a game)

g'day pochui
Well I have come to realize that I am a man of faith. I often find myself pray to both the almighty God as well as Jesus while playing poker. When I prey to them I am always asking them to bless me with a win on the table. The thing is when I say my poker prayers I really mean them. Good luck at the tables. God bless you all be cool

Well I hope your day has gone getter than mine. I took a major hit to my bank roll today of $60. I am down to about $30 again and once again have been forced to drop back do to a lower poker level to grind my bankroll back up again. I lost 6 all in in a row. Every single time I lost to a river card when I was way ahead and heavily favored to win. Call it bad luck, variance, or a suck out, it amounts to the same thing. I was ahead when the money went in and people just kept calling with crap and somehow busting my premium hands. Taking a little break now to make sure I am not on tilt. Will start climbing back out of the hole later tonight. be cool mates.

Didn't update yet so it's either very good or very bad news. I'm trying to make something with some $4 i won in a freeroll and after 3 days i'm.... breaking even ... Maybe i should just make a deposit from skrill where i keep my roll to give those $4 a better change. Can't help playing too tight and scared when i can only do 2 tables with a split buy-in ( i usually play NL5 but like so I'm doing NL2 )... Anyway, back to topic, Hope you went upwards mate.. keep us updated!

Well that does not sound to good, Ronin...
I hope the pokergods will be more on your side next time...
losing 6 allins in a row where you are fav .. is not the way you want it and it s becomes hard to not go on the TILT-mode
Hope you have more luck next session and just play your A-game

Well I have just got up out of bed and had some food. Now going to start grinding to rebuild my bankroll again. Played a session last night and lost 4 more all in pots. The count is now 10 lost all in pots in a row. However if it was not for bankroll management I would already be broke. Starting today with $13.25 This calls for my "A+" game

Ouch.. that really needs your A game to be on top form mate. Time to get some of those all-in moves to pay up. I've seen in the other thread that you started using poker tracker 4 so maybe it'll give the help you need in polishing up your tactics.. Best of luck on

Hi Ronin I've been watching this thread since you started it, one of the problems is you want to start out with penny poker, so when you start out with $48.00 odds are your going to loose it playing such low stakes,people at that level will call with just about anything hoping to hit ,and thats whats happening, I think you should have waited until you could deposit $200.00 , and played higher stakes, at those levels they don't go allin with s**t hoping to hit. but if your still in GL
If you cash tables you should try turbo tables as it orbits faster than normal tables which should help increase your hands a bit faster.
