Week 4

Last week went well: I crushed the 2NL tables and took my BR to $100 in the first couple of days. I’ve since shown a small profit at 5NL (2BB/100) over 1500 hands and with some good results at $5 STTs I ended the week with a BR of $147.

In total I’ve played 9500 hands at 2NL with a win rate of 21BB/100 and stats of 18/6/1.7. At 5NL my overall win rate is still negative (-6BB/100) including a $17 loss from a previous attempt at this level a couple of weeks ago. I’ve stepped up the aggression at this level, playing 17/10/2.2.

Over the last week I’ve played 6 $5 STTs, winning 2 and finishing 3^rd in 2 for a profit of $30. I’ve also played a couple of 5 table SNGs and a larger field scheduled tournament. I scheduled tournament (200/3200) so show a profit in these too. I’m thinking about changing my BR requirements for STTs from 1/20 to 1/100 but I’ll see how things go over the next couple of weeks and accept the fact that variance at 1/20 will keep moving me up and down levels. I may also play 1/100 with a min of $5 meaning I wont move up to $10 until my BR reaches $1000. We’ll see.

In the coming week my aim is to simply show a profit playing a mix of 5NL and $5 STTs. Wednesday is the end of the first month of this challenge and I’ll post a full breakdown of results and stats.
