November Rain

So new month spins around and my good run of late continues.
To set the story I need to go back to September.
I had a terrible run at online cash during September. It really was horrible. At first I starting second guessing my play, hindsight is 20/20 and maybe I should of gotten away from some of the hands. Some I was outdrawn, others I ran big hands into bigger ones, over-set, top two to bottom set etc. I ended up clearing my account and taking a break.
After a while I settled a bit and realised that the hands I lost were acceptable. I was outdrawn or if I got in in behind it was the right move, either through pot odds and EV, or simply ahead of his range.

I returned from my break from online poker towards the end of October. I wanted to undertake an exercise in bankroll management and in self control. I was never bad at either of these, I just want to prove I am able to grind up the limits. So I deposited $50, and set about grinding.

I only managed about 600 hands in October, but I played well and ran good, (18BB/100).

And as I said up above, the run continued into November. So far this week, I've played 1k hands, and as of my latest session, this 1k in November is at 35BB/100.
Of course I am aware that this is a tiny sample, and that it isn't possible to maintain that rate. But its nice to be winning. Most of my sessions have been about an hour, I don't have the time to stick in any more. My winnings since I started back playing have eclipsed the losses from September. I'm currently playing 20nl, but I hope to make the jump to 50nl soon. But, I will only be jumping with enough buy-ins for each level.



As for Live poker, I gave the SE sat a miss this week and decided to play the Jackpot tomorrow. If anyone happens to be there, sure come over and say hi.
