Step 1 Crushing $0.01/$0.02 NL Accomplished

I have finally built my bankroll up to $127.47, which means I have 25 buyins for the $0.02/$0.05 6 Max NL.

I thought it was going to take me 20k hands to do this but it only took me around ~14k.
Here is my updated graph at this limit, hopefully it will be the last time I ever play these super micro limits again.











I ended up beating the game for slightly over 20PTBB/100. I think that this is a very good number at these limits, and I feel I could keep beating the game like this over the long haul.

I was really comfortable 6 tabling this limit, and it shows, as the last half of the graph was almost all 6 tables. I think this prevents me from getting bored and making stupid plays.

I also notice that I'm not tilting anymore. When I lose a buyin, I shrug it off, reload (if its a juicy table) or leave...since my table image is ruined.

I have only had 1 losing session since posting the last graph, and it was just a small -4.11.

Also, I have also been running better with Sklansky bucks as my EV graph has improved slightly. Instead of being -$27.31, now I'm only -$15.87. I have noticed a big difference and my hands are holding up to flush draws etc. I can only imagine how it would be to run +EV over a long period of time.











I am also proud that I didn't cheat at all, I stuck to only playing $0.01/0.02. Although I played a little bit of PLO for fun. I was still playing $0.01/$0.02. I played a few $2, $1 MTT and about broke even. I want to take a few shots at the MTT as the guarantees are huge for the buyin. Definitely want to take one down to pad the BR.

So, onto the next part of the challenge. If I lose 5 buyins, I will have to move back down and grind until I have 25 buyins for this level again.

I think it will be a smooth transition as the $0.02/$0.05 6 Max games should be just as soft as the $0.01/$0.02.

I'm ready for the next step.
Step 2: To reach $250.

See you at the tables.
