A day or two early, but I’ll update tomorrow night if I get a result. I wanted to post today partly because it’s been a great month and I just wanted to brag, but I’ve also hit the milestone of 100k hands. To have played 100k hands is pretty awesome, but the results aren’t so hot so I’ll talk about November’s results first 
Results from cash games has been ok, mainly because I’ve moved back to NL10;
Those nasty sharp swings in the middle was my experiment at shortstacking NL50 to see how quickly I could clear a bonus. I was lucky to get away with only a mild loss of $14 and it was clearly not a good idea to push a bonus outside your bankroll. The 2nd half of that chart is NL10, and the monetary boost is clear to see. Still very swingy though – I half wish I had a more consistent style, but on the other hand rollercoasters are a lot more fun.
The big result was the $2 180man tourney win which boosted the bankroll by $70, giving a total of $100 wins in tournament results.
Bonuses came to $20 (Full Tilt holiday bonus – hopefully I’ll clear at least another $20 before it expires), and about $18 in rakeback. So final total of $180 for November – a huge boost to the bankroll and long overdue. Tomorrow I’ve those MTTs as well, and just getting to the cash in the Turbo Takedown will be about $70, so as long as I can get a result I’ll be happy. I’m not holding my breath though, my tournament success is random at best.
So, on to the big lifetime result;
Quite disapointing to have been playing poker for so long and not really getting the hang of nanostakes. I think I’m back on track again, and my NL10 progress should be similar to that early rise (perhaps not so steep – it was a heater on the whole). I’m confident that from now on it’s just a matter of time & grinding to get to NL25 & NL50.
Also the chart doesn’t really reflect my true bankroll – it doesn’t include tournament results, bonuses or rakeback – plus it only goes back to July 2008, and I’ve played longer than that. In reality I’ve probably redeposited about 4 times ($250 or so), then that heater after which I cashed out $170, and then from $30 (donated by S1ndr0me and Yegor!) rebuilt my account to $330. I suspect that means I’m actually in the black when it comes to true lifetime poker results, but I’ve no proof…
I think fact that you rebuilt your roll to $330 from $30 is the true measure of your success at the nano stakes. If you had to withdraw the lot tomorrow I think you would be fairly confident you could run it up from nothing again
You also play a style that, by its nature is fairly high variance. I play very nitty which will be my downfall at the next level. You on the other hand seem to have the edge on reads and aggression which will serve you well at NL25+
All in all I think we’ve both come a long way from when we had to withdraw. Lol I am the louis walsh of nano poker
oh and i still owe you $10
Louis Walsh, lol! I’m changing your link in my blogroll
