First 2 days at NL100

A successful start to my time at NL100. When moving between NL25 and NL50 i think i took a few shots due to not playing well and not running well but its been the opposite with NL100 :)

The only big difference i have found between NL50 and NL100 is the increase in 3betting but i feel quite comfortable with my ranges and think i am making far more mathematically correct decisions than my opponents. However, I certainly made some mistakes myself so i cant be complacent and must keep on top of my game.

Also, made a $100 bet yesterday for arsenal to finish ahead of spurs at even money with VaVavoom of 2+2. Free money is always nice

First Shot at Blogging

Hello, my name is fletch, i am a budding poker player aswell as a uni student studying mechanical engineering.

After reading many well known poker blogs lately i have decided to start one of my own. It seems like a great way to monitor poker progress and articulate you thoughts among other things and that can't be bad a thing. I am going to commit to this blog and make a post on any day that i play over 2k hands.

Quick History: Returned from a years of travels as a broke student in july 06, spent some of my last money on the HOH series and deposited ~$60 dollars and started building my empire through single table donkaments whilst making some posts on 2+2. Screwed around with that for a while then around march 07 i took up cash games, signed up to cardrunners and began to take poker seriously.

Fast forward to now, I have a 1.8k roll and am currently playing $50NL on FTP and party though i hope to be playing $100NL very soon.

I'll go into more tomorrow i just don't want to make this post too long.

Here's my graph from today, kinda swingy and i lost focus later on in the day which i am disappointed in myself for but managed to recover to some extent.
