.5 .10 Rush

The only difference between 5NL Rush and 10NL Rush is simple, the swings and bet sizing.  I played around 1500 hands and made 1 dollar last night at NL10, but I should have made almost 30, but I stationed three hands that I should not have.  KK <  JJ, I new he had the set, but let him value bet me all the way to the river.  AA < JJ, exact same thing, and finally calling my two pair to the river with two other players..

These three hands cost me around $28 dollars, if I found the fold button, I would have made 20 easy.  I get really confused with over pairs sometimes, (AA,KK,QQ) especially on the flop of whether I am ahead or not, to the C-bet Re-raise. 

I do not see myself playing 5NL rush unless i decide to 8 table rush in the future to add more income, which is a possibility if I get table ninja.  I see just at 1500 hands an hour currently, so I could potentially see 2500 every hour if I decide to do this.  I am a firm believer in the law of large numbers and the more hands you see the less variance you notice. 

Anyway, hopefully I can run 6-10bb/100 at NL10.  I have been at almost 12bb/100 at NL5 rush the last 100k hands.

Update

I had a baby girl so I have not been able to blog as much as I would have liked!  Anyway, I was on a 50k break even stretch, but I finally made it through and have been posting some consistent winnings again.  I have been doing a ton of reading and have turned some losing sessions into break even, and some break even into some winnings sessions. 

Studying this game is the only way you are going to get better and understanding why good players do the things they do is key to making it in this pool of ever smaller fishes and more and more Sharks.  I have put in almost 20k hands the last three days and I am p around $100, aka 20 buy ins.  I have grown as a player through this 50k stretch and realized that some of it was me and some of it was the cards. 

Anyway, I am going to be moving up to .5 .10 again soon, hopefully this one goes a bit better than last lol.
