Holy s**t this graph looks really good it just keeps moving up and up. You are a winning player keep up the good work.
Something I want to know, what is your VPIP/PFR stats?? I would like to know if you a tag etc. Any tips on becoming a good player like you, how much time you took before you became a winning player or was it an automatic learning curve?

Cheers keep it up.
Thanks man my current vpip/pfr is 22/15 (TAG I guess?). It wasn't really automatic, I busted out a few free $ before. I learned a lot from watching live videos where the player is explaining his thought processes while playing. Try watching xflixx's videos on youtube. It's titled 'Grinding it up'. Learned a lot from that guy. He's a member of team online of pokerstars. The best thing I learned from that guy was to always choose your spots. Position is also really important in hold'em. This was the concept I disregarded before but after playing many hands, I found it really very important. If you have other question feel free to ask here
------------ Sick session today. Won like $13. This hand was the biggest.
I had K K in mp with $7.88 and opened for $0.06. A guy on the button with 3-bet me to $0.30 and since most of the players in ring games are either short stack or has near $2 in chips, I immediately shoved. When he called I was like wtf, he still has $3+ left! Then the flop ran A 8 7 7 Q

Posted by adok: It has been days since I have given an update. Been busy lately. Anyways, played around 5k hands since my last update and my bankroll is now at $76.87
This is my latest graph
Maybe I'll post some hands later
Well I hope your results will lookk as good as these on your current graph.
Keep in mind the way up is long and it takes a lot of dicipline and patience to stay on the right road (playing at the right stakes, following the BRM-rules)

So keep playing your A-game
Happy newyear
Haven't really played much this week because of the holiday season. Almost breakeven from the last update with around 2k hands. I will play a session tonight and update my graph. Thanks thefly131 and happy new year!
------------ Played only a short session tonight. I wanted to reach 20k hands tonight but got really tired. After a new high last week I got a downswing and now I'm climbing back again. This is my graph for the week.
Made a mistake here by jamming the turn. Clearly, I didn't have fold equity over him because he has $0.67 left in his stack. I have position on him and outs to the nuts which I could value bet on the river or fold if it didn't arrive.

Posted by marqis: I would really just fold to his donk bet here... You only had $0.14 invested at this point, and completely missed the board. Just let it go IMO.
I don't really mind calling the flop bet since most people donk bets with mid/bottom pair or top pair with weak kicker and I do have two over cards. And I think most people would tend to check/raise when flopping monsters. On the turn I improved to an open ender but again, the shove was a bad move.

Yeah 22/15 looks solid, also by the way great graph and I will check the youtube videos you were talking about. Hope you grinding in the holidays as this is where the money lies, lots of recreational players and you can make money easily. Best time of the year.
I play rush/zoom mainly. I get bored with playing 4-6 normal tables and can't add more as I cannot concentrate.
you winning about 18bb/100. Thats sick. Keep it up!

Haven't really grinded a lot lately since I'm also busy during the holidays But I had a few session with solid profit. Tonight, finally reached $100 mark and I will start taking shot at 4nl tomorrow Thanks man. And btw, those videos I told you about is definitely a must watch for you because he plays a lot of zoom poker also. Best of luck at the tables

I meant folding to his $0.24 bet on the turn. The call on the flop is fine (I misread, thinking you c-betted there), since you would expect to have 10 outs (4 kings, 3 aces and 3 queens), and 40% is enough to call $0.08 for a $0.21 pot. On the turn however, even when you still think you may have 10 outs, it's only 20%, for calling $0.24 for a $0.53 pot which is not nearly good enough.

We still have to consider the implied odds. But then again I think you're right. He was short stack so it's not really enough.

Yep. Trying to get creative on the turn is a bad idea here. Opponent has invested to much money to be able to fold this hand, and we have very few clear outs to make a really strong hand.

I'm struggling in 4nl. There are a lot of regs and they are very aggressive (3betting and squeezing). So far, I have 1.3k hands and lost 1 buy in. I guess I'll have to review my hands first before continuing on this limit.

Been a long time since my last update. Haven't played much because my hud's not working anymore and I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I'm still playing in 4nl and I found that fast forward (rush/zoom) is very profitable at these stakes. I was breakeven at the regular tables and on ff, I have made some profits.
Bankroll: $111.59
Here's an interesting hand.
Blinds $0.02/0.04 I was in the CO with 8 9 It was folded to me and I raised $0.12 2 folds, BB 3-bet to $0.40, I called Flop came A Q 7 BB checked, I bet $0.41, BB called (I bet here thinking he could potentially fold his middle pair since I opened pre-flop and an Ace is a scare card, he called anyways) The turn is 6 BB checked, I checked behind since I picked up an open ender and and I suspect he might be slow playing. The river is 5 He bet $0.88, I re-raised to $2.52, he shoved $7 some thing and I called. He flipped aces for top set I think this is the biggest pot I played so far Never slow play Aces
