I’ve planned to come back to blogging for a while now, but it hasn’t been until now that I’ve really been motivated to do so. I’m not going to explain everything that happened from the last time I until now, but I’ll just say it hasn’t been good lol.
This blog will mainly be to post updates on my path to robusto. I will try to post daily after sessions with graphs, hands etc, and hopefully this will help me evaluate myself and my game on a regular basis. This is also where I will be posting my dumb beats so you all don’t have to hear it on AIM anymore. I know it gets annoying lol.
So I got off a stake at the very end of January and I was grinding along winning at a good rate of ~5ptbb/100 or 10bb/100. I think this winrate is sustainable @ 50nl, as long as I’m not running like shit lol. It started off very well for me until I ran into ~3obi downswing. I didn’t think this was possible for me since I feel like I crush 50nl, but it happened. I ran very below EV and was basically losing every all in imaginable. I just recovered from that brutal downswing, and here is my graph since I got off the stake:
This is almost all 50nl, and a tiny amount of 100nl. I’ve off the downswing and still winning, but still running under EV and I always hear I’m supposed to eventually regain my lost EV. It’s hard to imagine I’ll ever run as good as I ran bad in the last week, but let’s hope so.
Here is today’s session:
I felt like I played pretty well this session, but ran 4 Bi’s under EV…as usual lol.

Now I usually don’t complain about these, but I’ve had this happen several times to me recently. I get it all in with AA vs 2 smaller pairs (usually QQ and KK) and have always lost (fullstacks). These huge pots @ 50nl and I’ve lost every single time. Sigh.
