First month of playing, BANKROLL ----> 100k

Yo 2+2,
My first post here, been playing Poker seriously for 1 month and started out with around 100€. ( 1.00 EUR = 1.24065 USD )

Started out on 0.25/0.5 NL tables. Played there for a week and it felt like I totally dominated those tables.
After the first week I was up 1567€ playing only 1 table 0.25/0.5 - After that result I felt confident that I could move up.

So I did, next week it was 1/2. After a drop of about 400€ I started to get a hang of it and proceeded with my winning streak.
I even set up a goal for the 2nd week so I would feel motivated. When the week ended I found myself just a couple of € short. 2nd week: 3563€

3rd week began the same, just kept playing at 1/2, satisfied with the action I got. I got the feeling I couldn't lose, and I didn't. I ended the week at 6808€, even exceeding my goal with 800€. All this on just one table.

Now I am in present and I still haven't figured out if i'm just on a hot streak or if i'm really outplaying my opponents. I see the fish, and I catch it, that's about it.
Been playing some home games in the past, but not even close to the level I play now, and i'm not even a favorite there. Do you think I can hold this up? Even go up to 2/4 when I reach 10k?

step 1: play many more hands

step 2: come back and tell us what happened

Played many hands on these 3 weeks, only 1 tabling but probably atleast 5h/day.

Anyone played 1/2 for a longer time, what is normal to win a month, 1 tabling that is.

klagett · #5 10-10-2004, 07:17 PM

That's still only about 300 hands.

klagett · #6 10-10-2004, 07:20 PM

I've gotta say bullshit or your figures are off.

You figure at .25/.50 ... that's a 1$bb

You said you made 200 a day. Playing 1 table between 5-10 hours. 10 hours would be roughly 600 hands?

Which means you're making 33bb/100 for a week.??

I play no limit, so what does a big bet mean?
If I put all my chips in the middle I double up, right? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Just done that a lot recently...

AtlBrvs4Life · #8 10-10-2004, 07:45 PM

33BB/100 is still a lot. How many hands have you played total?

eel · #9 10-10-2004, 07:48 PM

Don't know, have no way of tracking that. Played a lot the last 3 weeks, that basically all I know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

3 weeks of 1 tabling = not enough hands.
