Introduction: Grinding HUSNGs – starting at the bottom
January 14, 2011
In this blog I shall document my journey in which I start grinding NLHE HUSNGs, beginning at the $5 level and working my way up.
I had success in the past with fullring grinding. I played 24 tables at a time, maintaining a 20bb/100 winrate at the micros:
I played some 6max afterwards for a fair few hands on different sites, didn’t do too well in the longrun but I know this was because I didn’t really care about my play nor the money. Bonuses and rakeback kept the bankroll steady. I had, however, lost the motivation and focus that was present during my serious grinding of the micro fullring.
Starting this new challenge, my bankroll will be $100. I will play HUSNGs at the $5 level, though if there are 50-80bb stacks in the HU cash tables at PKR I will play those guys. They, on the whole, tend to spew money. With regards to these HUSNGs, I will move up to the $10 level once I have earned $100 at the $5 buyins.
In addition, I will be playing 24 tables of 5NL on Stars to see if the tables are still as moist as before. These sessions will be purely to break things up a bit, though I will take things seriously and play as tight as a badger’s arse. Here is this morning’s HUcash and HUSNG session:
Once exams are over I will be able to put in some juicy volume. In addition, I can promise my future prose will be written with greater care. Right now my brain is frazzled from staring at books all day.
