Default My personal bankroll building project

This is a cry out to the poker gods!
If you exist, stop screwing me!!

Finally I had time to play poker again, and just finished playing 6 session hours:
I got AA 3 times, everyone folded
I got KK once, everyone folded
I got AK 6 times, people called my preflop raise and I hit nothing on the flops.
I got a set twice, everyone folded
I got curious once and it cost me 5$
I lost to a runner runner straight once

Final result: down 8$ for 6 session hours

Since I started playing at Everest poker I have lost almost 2 buyins.

Here's an up to date update:

Session hours played: 41,15
+/1: 23$
Bankroll: 70$

This will be my new whining and bitching thread for my bankroll building project. If possible I will whine more than I did in my last thread, and I will keep whining until I reach my 200$ bankroll goal.

Default Yeah

The gods have heard me. I just finished playing half a session hour, and I ended in +6$
That's a whopping 12$ pr hour....if only all my sessions could be this good.

Just lost a buyin...

I had 75 on a 75J flop, my opponent had J7
I had him on a pair of Jacks only

Default When will the hurting stop

6 session hours, two buyins down, no pocket pairs above 10 10. 55$ bankroll, +9$ for 47 hours of play.
Maybe I just suck at cash games......

Default New strategy

I have played about 50 session hours and made 25$. This is not good enough.
I also just finished playing a session where I got really great cards, but I got no action what so ever. This is also not good enough.
I am therefore going to make a radical change in strategy, from conservative ABC poker, to short stack poker.
I will give an in depth description of my new strategy on the pokerBRB blog, and keep you posted about my progress.

Default Update

I am really happy with my new short stack strategy. I have increased my bankroll from 72$ til 85$ during 3 session hours.
The short stack strategy is much simpler to play, and I don't get bored.

Weeee Just finished playing another hours worth of sessions with my new short stack strategy, and my bankroll is now over 100$. This is the first time since I started this bankroll building project that my poker bankroll has exceeded 100$.

Great progress Mepusica!!

How often do you go all in and which hand range?

Just read Ed Millars article about the strategy and sounds like he thinks you should always go all in after see a flop.
