Today went well. In my opinion, i though about every hand i played vs. each player, and i did a lot of thinking prior to making every single bet/raise rather then it just being automatic. All in all when all the money went in i had the best hand so i made correct reads on people. I only did 1 fuck up, my AK vs AA, and the flop was AK6, so that was a cooler. I knew this player is tight only bet %6 of his hands but i couldn't get away from this hand. Any who, prob ganna go watch a movie or something.

I played about 3,000 hands today, not too bad. I played not too bad actually, but still down a little. Reason being was because i got stacked 4 times, count that, 4 times set vs. higher set, 100BB three times, and one for 200BB, since we both had big stacks. Oh well, i guess down 1 isn't so bad after all considering. All in all i didn't do anything too stupid so we'll see what tomorrow brings. Stats for today.

Yup, still just reading poker shit, taking a few days off. Going to try to 6 table for 1 week instead of 9, and see how my results come along. Going to post my stats for May 14-20 (nothing blacked out). I'm not going to post stats for May 21-27 because i haven't really been playing this week so I don’t see the point. I only have about 3,000 hands so screw it, I think I broke even anyways because I was playing when I was a little tired and making stupid plays.



I've also been watching movies these past couple of days, saw Harry Potter and the goblet of fire, and 28 days later, watching The usual suspects, and so far and there all amazing movies. Also I’ll be going to Canada’s Wonderland this coming Monday so that should be fun. Anyways, just making a quick blog because I’m going to play basketball with some of my brown paki friends. Take care.

There are my stats for today, same old same old. Still trying to play 21,000 hands per week and so far its working out. Also been playing some heads up at fulltilt at the $100 tables, my username there is -- Mr Pav --, and my god are the players there are horrible. so up 5 buy ins at heads up as well in a matter of 1 hour.



Still trying to play 100,000 hands per month and I’ve been on track to achieve that. I’m still 9 tabling at the moment and I think I’ll be 12 tabling soon again at 6 max cause players still take too long to act, so I have those moments were I’m bored =(. My bankroll it is getting higher on stars, so I’ll most likely be moving up to 1/2 soon. I’m still playing a little tight, but my volume is around 20 at the moment. So up about +5 buy ins on stars today.

Hi everyone, its ==PAV==, so far I’ve been able to play about 3,000 hands per day without a problem. Oh by the way, it’s my birthday, so happy 22nd birthday to me. Yay! Any who, I’m going to talk about some situations I was in from today’s poker session. My stats for today are listed below, as well as certain hands I found interesting and what I was thinking about while the hand played out.

Stats for May 20, 2007




Hands

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196719 - In this hand, I bet the flop strong, he had about 40BB left, there was a flush possibility on the flop, but he was short stack. He did not check raise me on the flop or prelop so I didn’t think he had the AQ, so when I bet the turn I didn’t even think he had AQ, I put him on a flush draw or a Ax, most likely on Ax, so I was liking my AK a lot at this point, since I didn’t believe the Q improved his hand.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196724 - Ok, this hand, to me personally it was beautifully played because sure, he can have a monster, like 22 or 66, but I put him on exactly what he had, a flush draw, not even a good flush draw at best. He was extremely aggressive and played almost every single pot aggressively, I wanted as much money as possible out of him on the turn, so they best thing I thought of was allow the aggressive player do what he does best, be aggressive, so he goes all in and the rest is history. He can’t have a QJ I though because he had a flush draw, so that didn’t scare me one bit.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196729 - I really pissing this player off, he played way too many hands so I took advantage of him big time. I finally get a hand, and he tries to make a move preflop because I guess he had enough of me. It was an A flop, so in my head I went, SHIT! Oh well, what can I do, but to my surprise I won, what did he go all in with for 150BB preflop you ask?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196672 - Then I played the $200 Sunday tournament, and not only was that a horrible call preflop by the player, then he calls 18k more on the flop with his hand. I can only play so well, but I need hands to fold sometimes =).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196731 - When something smells like a bluff to me, it usually is. This guys range was so vast, it was a really easy call for me, he would bet river with A4 if he had it, so I gave him a chance to hang himself. I wasn’t going to repop b/c that’s just stupid, since he’s not going to call me with air, but any who, just thought you might want to see it.

All in all, this was a good week. I learned how to play not as tight, raising my vol. put in pot and been able to play close to 3,000 hands per day so I’m happy with that. I’m most likely going to stay at .5/1 for another week or so and evaluate my results to base when the appropriate time would be to move up to 1/2. I’m going to post something new for you guys every couple of days to keep you updated. Tell me what you think, since this blog thing is a little new to me and your input would be appreciated. =)

Its 4am right now, and i made a decision to create a blog each week. My username on stars is ==pav==. If been playing poker for about 1 ½ years now, been playing at .25/.5 all the way to 1/2. At the moment I’ve been playing at .5/1 and have nice results. Going to be playing there until I hit 8k and then I plan to move up to 1/2. For the past 2-3 weeks I’ve been playing only %16 of my hands. My goal for the next 2 weeks is to raise that number from %16 to %20-24. And yes, my brother is TalentedTom so stop asking me. =)
