Haven't posted here in forever, will try to update a little more now that I'm on break for over a month. Anyway, October was another sick month for me, November was rough, and now after cashing out a bunch and having a rough downswing to start the month in December my roll is in bad shape and I'm rebuilding at $1/$2. I played a hand last night that I thought was pretty interesting, so I po...

Still Alive...

It's been forever since I've updated this, but I haven't died, or fallen off the face of the earth. Poker's only been so-so lately, but life is good...

I'm Back...

I took a little break from poker over the weekend, and had class this week, so I hadn't played for a while until last night. Hopefully I started to break my July downswing, as I finished up a little over $1,100 in about 2k hands, despite losing two huge pots where I got it all-in as a big favorite: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/230552 http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/230554 Anyway, after y...

July sucks...

That's all. Graph / stats / hands to come when I feel like it.

June Results / July Goals

RAHZero — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 13:05:22 +0000

So the last day of June kind of sucked, took some shots and things went poorly, ended up down a little over $3k. June graph: [img]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5584/junegraphqc9.jpg[/img] My official stats: Total hours: 100.33 Total winnings: +$28,495.60 Total losses: -$11,697.65 Net profit: $16,837.95 Hourly rate: $167.82 I won't be playing as much in July, but I'm sti...

Bah...

RAHZero — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 19:32:04 +0000

So apparently my parents think I have a gambling addiction (yeah, so I probably do). Since I have to retake a class this summer, which runs Monday through Thursday, I'm banned from playing poker during the week. As they're still paying for most of my college education (despite my recent winnnings), I really don't have a choice but to accept, especially since I really screwed up last semester....

Ridiculous weekend...

RAHZero — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:46:18 +0000

Haven't updated in a bit, but this weekend was pretty crazy. Anyway, here's my graph from Friday and Saturday: [img]http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8062/june22and23vy1.jpg[/img] Yeah, not very fun. Most of this was at $400 NL, lost a tiny bit at NL $200 and about $500 at NL $600. Some hands to illustrate how well I ran over this period: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218249 Ugh, n...

Another wild day...

RAHZero — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 08:04:54 +0000

Yesterday was one of those crazy swingy days: [img]http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/7149/june21cg1.jpg[/img] I started off running well, picking up some big pots, hit a K with AK in a reraised pot and picked off a river all-in bluff to go up a stack early, won a little at NL $600 while taking shots there. Then things went south, I stopped hitting hands, everything was off. I worked my...

Decent day...

RAHZero — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 07:15:21 +0000

Another good, but frustrating day yesterday. Things went OK early on, then I just hit a huge cold streak where I couldn't make a hand to save my life. I was at a table with a 75/2/2 type player who called every one of my raises and every c-bet, and I just could not make anything against him. The one time I finally flopped top pair, he called me down with bottom pair and hit a runner runner f...

Running cold sucks...

RAHZero — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:31:49 +0000

Just finished a rough session: [img]http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7681/june19mx5.jpg[/img] I ran about as bad as humanly possible, so to finish barely in the red feels pretty good. The big drop was me getting rivered in this monster pot: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/215227 Then I lost another big pot later here: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/215228 A bunch of other retard...

Sometimes I hate poker...

RAHZero — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 23:33:22 +0000

So yeah, I really shouldn't be complaining, given that I just finished another $1k+ day, but sometimes poker can really piss you off. My graph for today: [img]http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/5720/june18xo1.jpg[/img] PT missed a bunch of hands, including one big stackage, so my actual total was a little over +$1300. Pretty much all of this was at NL $400, except for like 30 hands at N...

Same ol' story...

RAHZero — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:55:11 +0000

Another great day yesterday. Started out playing some donkaments, played in the UB $200k guaranteed, a $55 deep-stack tourney on Stars, a couple satellites on Stars, and the Stars $215 Sunday second chance. Saw pretty much not a single hand in any of the tournaments, except for AK in one where I lost a flip AIPF on like the third hand against QQ. Anyway, I also played some NL $50 on Stars wh...

I lied...

RAHZero — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 19:10:57 +0000

Put in a very short session, 'bout to leave for that home game. Anyway, finished up like $360, ran sick hot at NL $400 and sick cold at NL $200. Nice milestone reached though: [img]http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/2392/20kbrxu1.jpg[/img]

Keep on rollin'

RAHZero — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 17:46:39 +0000

Another wild day yesterday. Almost all the profit was at NL $400, I ran at over 20 PTBB/100 in the 911 hands I played there, despite this hand, which is part of the terrible early downswing: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/213423 Still, I'm back into the green for the month at NL $400, which is nice. Made $100 in the 548 hands I played at NL $200 for the day shown below. Won a stack on th...

Two Weeks of June

RAHZero — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 08:20:13 +0000

Goddammit, I had a long ass entry written out and then it got deleted. Anyway, yesterday was a pretty good day, up $1571 in a mix of NL $400 and $200, plus a shot at NL $600 in which I lost a big pot with JJ before winning a huge won here: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/212644 I was up like $2500 at one point though, before losing a huge pot with black AA when the board came out 4 diamonds...

I no longer feel sick!

RAHZero — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 08:50:59 +0000

Another very solid day yesterday, my second $2k day ever: [img]http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z112/RAH2010/June13.jpg[/img] Basically, I was playing pretty well at first, just my standard TAG game, a little on the tighter side. Then I hit a dry run of cards, took a few beats, and couldn't seem to win a hand, and I went into the red. I took a short break, came back, and really upped ...

Decent Recovery

RAHZero — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 09:05:46 +0000

Well, yesterday didn't quite erase the monstrosity that was my Monday, but it was a good start. Just played very, very solid poker back at NL $200, and made out well: [img]http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9129/june12ce4.jpg[/img] I really think I'm capable of a long-term winrate at NL $200 close to this as long as I play my A-game and don't do anything stupid. I managed this big night...

I feel sick...

RAHZero — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 13:27:19 +0000

So yesterday was my worst day ever by a wide margin. This is what happens when you get coolered and bad beat every hand at NL $400: [img]http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4890/june11suckedyr9.jpg[/img] The damage was slightly less than this, by about $200 or so. Still too depressed to post any hands, but suffice it to say there were some good ones, like AA < K8s and QQ < T8s in 3...

Short day...

RAHZero — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:31:18 +0000

Barely played yesterday, had a lot going on. Was finally a somewhat boring day poker-wise, still made a little over $250 in slightly more than an hour though: [img]http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/591/june10fv3.jpg[/img] Played a bit different game than usual, my stats were 24/17, though I was playing short-handed and even heads-up for quite a bit. Not too much of note on the day,...
