Oh. My. Gawd. Yesterday was a day of swings, first I was down $370 (bad start) so I took a break for a few hours, then I managed to win $500, before going $800 into the red. I took another break, I then sat at $5/$10 because I saw a few weak players I had notes on, I lost another $500, I reloaded, lost $350 of that so I was down to just $150 and I had lost a total of $1,550. I managed to get a triple up getting my short stack in three-way with 7c-6d-5c-4d and flopping the nut full house.
Soon I had grinded my stack up to $1,700 when I get it all in preflop with AAT9 double suited against another big stack at the table. There was $3,500 in the middle and my opponent showed AA72 rainbow, I made my flush and shipped a huge pot. After that I played a few more rounds, lost around $200 back before leaving. That takes my current online bankroll up to $5,000 now and gave me $1,665.25 profit for the day.
One disappoint side is that I can't get into the MTTs. I really want to improve this aspect of my game, but I find it kind of boring. The appealing thing is the big scores, if I get good, then regularly taking down a four-figure score would be nice and the odd five-figure mixed in there makes MTTs very appealing. But it's a high variance form of poker and I don't put in the kind of volume needed to get the results.
I should remedy this.
Another thing that I really, really bugging me is that currently over 3,113 hands at $1/$2 PLO I have made a $182.20 loss. I know it's not a great deal of money, and I've checked the hand histories, and it looks to me like I'm not running too well. But there must be something I need to improve. It bugs me that at my main level of play, I'm currently a more or less break-even/small losing player. I know the sample isn't huge, but I've only been playing online again for a short period of time.
I'm going to address the problem by tightening my preflop starting requirements so I stop getting into such marginal situations while I'm multitabling. And while I'm at it, that's a really important point, my most profitable limits are $5/$10 and $3/$6. I don't multitable at these limits, I play one table and focus on it. At $1/$2 I play up to six tables, I think that I'm obviously not that great at multitabling yet and that's something else I need to work on, eventually I want to get the bankroll to multitable $5/$10 and higher. If I want to get there then I need to get the hang of playing six tables at the lower limits.
