Rebuilding the roll
About time for an update.
I've been playing on the $10/45s on FTP for a few weeks - and doing quite well.
The play is pretty bad, but I seem to have adjusted fairly well to people's ranges and am playing pretty solidly. Consequently my bankroll is now swelled to around 1700.
Which is better. I'm certainly ready to have a crack at the $24/45s now which seem to fill up quite quickly, but I won't immediately. I'll probably let the bankroll cross $2k first. Which is daft really - I'm such a bankroll nit, especially as I'd move back down pretty quickly if I ran into a bad patch.
I'll probably move up when I hit $2k, and allow myself to lose 10 buyins before moving back down.
On a separate note I've become a poker mentor! I was looking around on 2+2 for a 'poker buddy' someone to chat about hands and maybe review sessions with - when
I stumbled across the MTT thread where they are pairing mentors with mentees.
I've got paired with 2. One of whom is based in London and is playing poker full-time at higher stakes than me! He's a pretty good player - probably better than me - but there is an element of our skills being complimentary and we may get something out of talking over hands. We've had one sweat session, and may have another tonight.
The other player is an American who is a much weaker player than me. He's doing OK at the 4/180s, but having reviewed his hand histories I hope to be able to make him a better post-flop player. We'll see how that goes - we haven't been able to arrange a sweat session yet. In fact he sent me a HH which I read through, and I should probably comment on it for him.
Anyway, I'm pleased with how things are going on the tables at the moment.
