Back to Reality....

Safe to say the last week hasn't gone great. Im going to avoid posting too many graphs for the time being to avoid tilt but I can assure you theyre not pretty. Slowly making the move from NL50 to NL100 over the next few days. Less ATC calls and people who call raises with 90% of their range makes me feel a lot more comfortable putting people on hands and therefore easier to value bet, slowplay, 3bet for value, 3bet bluff etc.

Started filming some videos of NL100 for my coaching site (shortstackrevolution) and a few guys i discuss strat with online and todays session has been a real rollercoaster.....

Obviously ran really bad but my EV line is a beaut and managed 4.61bb/100 (granted only over 4k hands but its still positive)

I know I've got a hell of a long way to go until I'm crushing or feel fully comfortable at NL100 but thoroughly enjoyed todays session and here are a few interesting hands from today......
