Gotta keep on trucking...

Another week, another update. And another lossing week at that. Played another 2k hands in the last week and and dropped 1 and a half buy-ins too keep me a steady downward slope. I got my first rakback payment though so its not all doom and gloom. Getting it paid on thee 12th of every month so will do a update on that day. Got $15 this month which isnt great but its nearly a buy-in for just 4.5k hands so i cant complain. Earned 1,600FPP so far, so i have moved up too orange level. Unfortunalty it wont take affect until the start of February which is really annoying.


Been tightening up my game ever so slight the last week, been runing 18/14/2.88 and i feel my decision making has imrpoved i am less inclined to spew chips off unessecarily.


Alot of chips have been lost in alot of mediumish sized pots where i havent ben 100% sure on how too play it. With the split have taken place on 2+2 i am hoping more hands will be post for NL 25 which will hopefully help improve my game seeing what others would do in certain situations. Heres a few of the hands from the week


Hand 1:

Villan was a massive donk so this hand was very difficult to play, as soon as he min-raised i knew i was done, but i still had too call.
