3rd in the Daily Double on FTP
lolgiraffe, Aug 17 2007
Kinda happy, kinda sad at the same time. I've been working on my tournament game a lot lately and I really thought this may have been my first 1000+ person win, but not today.
I need to work on my FT game hugely.

-3bi for the week
lolgiraffe, Aug 12 2007
Small sample, only played about 8k hands this week and ended down 3.5bi. Today was pretty lame in itself, seemed like every time I jammed in good equity spots I would get there on the turn and they'd redraw on the river. I mean, it isn't bad beats or suckouts, just loving flips. For some reason it sucks more if you get there and then they re-get there rather than just never getting there, lol. =)
I'm trying to play a straight forward TAG game lately but I really hate it. It feels like I never get paid off because my image is so tight and now no one wants to take shots bluffing at me either. I figured it'd be an easy chip up, but I keep spewing so that doesn't help anything. Maybe nitty isn't for me, maybe it is and 8k isn't enough. It's certainly low variance which is cool, I guess.
A few fun overpair folds
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249263
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249266
And some good old losers
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249267 - Thin call in weird spot with TT. Ran this by a few people, feels like a call is OK.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249268 - I make a bad play preflop, continued by bad play post flop to a hit card that forces me to put it all in. I still feel a river fold is OK.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249270 - Preflop is horrible, post flop is even worse. My raise should be treated as value vs a call and a blocker vs an AI. Not good enough to fold there is sad..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/249271 - Super thin call vs 3bet jam on flop.
I mean, all four of these spots I could have avoided but still not disciplined or good enough to do it. Maybe one week I'll get to make a post where its like "oh hey I played good and I won and I'm not living off rakeback" haha. Maybe, just gotta keep studying and grinding I guess. At least I have a day job.
Nothing else to report, just playing lots of hands "tight is right" and trying to stay positive. Maybe next week.
I'm a bad player, but I am still working on it.

Such a frustrating day. I should be stuck probably 3 buyins, but luckily I'm only down $11 dollars. Still, when you're up over 3 buyins in the first 300 hands, and by 1000, you end down, somethings fucked up.
I'm really really focusing on improving right now, but man this game can be frustrating. Here are some key hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246152 - Villians VPIP is really high, like 60s. I'm never good here, horrible play by me. I almost feel check fold is correct on the turn, but I know thats me being a pussy and results oriented.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246153 - This guy is solid but very passive. My river bet is so bad its rediculous. I should of just check called or check folded. I think betting the turn is mandatory.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246154 - Really misplayed this draw. I thought the turn would be a good spot to try and take the pot and it failed. My call was terrible, but I thought he'd stack regardless of what pegged the river if I hit. Bad assumption, and bad play.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246156 - This player has a huge range and is very passive. I probably should of just checked turn so I can pick off a river bluff. A 4 is totally in his range here.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246157 - So, I've talked to a few people on this one and most people say this is always AA or KK. I've never taken the limp minraise line as a monster, but more of a small to medium PP based off of what I've seen and the playback at my image. I heard multiple people say huge hand, (AA most likely), so my thought of fold equity is very bad here. Very poor play, good result. He ended up having a hand which I should have FE against, but he made a good call I guess. I luck box for a buyin.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246160 - This is very situational based. I don't know how I feel. I had a read, and I went with it. However, the best players I know are saying this is pretty terrible. I really trust their input so I think I got lucky and caught someone with their hand in the cookie jar, but either way it isn't winning long term just like with the Ad4d hand I have no fold equity so that too is bad.
Here is a thread on LP about the JJ hand: http://www.liquidpoker.net/informatio...JJ_in_RR_Pot_vs_Frustrated_(se...html
So over the hands.....
I'm really disapointed. I'm trying very hard to be as successful as my friends and peers but something isn't going right. Maybe I played these right, I don't know. We'll see what you guys have to say.
Of course, its pretty hard to compare myself to my friends when all of them are outstanding. I guess I should be taking that as a blessing rather than trying to feel sorry for myself.
Side note: Listen to the new saigon, it defines hot fire.
Same shit, different day.
lolgiraffe, Aug 04 2007
August started off not good so far for me. I had a really bad short term spree at $200NL which made me move back to $100NL again which was a bummer. Not a huge deal, it happens. But I ran my roll a little thin so if I run bad at all at $100NL I may move down to $50NL.
I keep telling myself its all about grinding it out, so I'm trying to learn to 12 table right now. I've also became pretty passive with my roll requirements. I'm moving down at 40buyins for the last level and up at 40 for the next, which is unlike me but whatever. But I mean, its no bigs. If I can pull a good roll for 2/4 by the end of the year I'll be pleased with myself. If not, okay no big deal.
I've been discussing a lot of "out there" theories with Pawel lately and thats been pretty good. I really feel like the kiddo respects my game and obv I have a ton of respect for his. The thing I love about it though is he likes to play a low variance game while I like to play a high variance game and it makes for seeing both sides of the coin easy and interesting.
I've also been talkin to Moloch a lot. That kid is solid. I haven't thrown a HH past him yet where he's woke up with the wrong answer. Oh well, adaware shipped his roll away so hes busto now. [[RUMORZZ LOL]]
Alright, thats about it. I've been posting on LP a bunch lately and browsing 2p2 but for some reason have been avoiding CR.
Golf sidenote: My swing is still terrible but Greg has been helping me a ton. I left my driver in my buddies car so I won't be able to hit the range this weekend since I have 1.) no car and 2.) No clubs. I need to get my new bertha and odyssey ordered since I'll be playing Kayak here in a couple weeks for the first time in 8 years! I'm juiced!
One thing I want to rant about: This PokerEV shit has to be just about the most annoying shit ever. Every fucking knob job wants to post pictures of their graph "OMG I TOOK SO MANY BEATS" shut the fuck up and grind it out no one fucking cares. Badbeat stories, NO ONE CARES.
Alright, peace out. Here is my sick 12 table setup if anyone cares, holla.

I'm cross posting this on the forums as well as my blog since its a hand that really had me going a few different ways. I don't know how thin my play is and its sort of bugging me.
We've been playing 3 handed for a while and just went four handed.
Info on Villian:
He is currently running at 31/24/2.7/WtSD 24%
He folds to CBets 30% of the time, he raises them 25% of the time.
When seeing the turn, he bets it 48% of the time and has a turn aggression of 2.8.
My current image here is 23/15/7.0/WtSD 18% over 50 hands at the table. Villian has been at the table the whole time with me.

Hero ..
What range of hands can I put him on? Aggressive players like this are rarely slow playing over pairs, so I take that out of his range. I think his calling range is fairly obvious from AJ down to J8. I think it fair to put 44 and 55 in his range as well. I won't give him credit for 78 or 23. His numbers tell me he is often double barreling and I know it isn't taking much for him to play position on me and raise the flop.
This one has me stumped. I've spoken with a few people so far about this hand. One line was to dump it to the turn bet. Bob through out there the idea of just jamming the flop since we know his range is so wide. The only problem with that (I felt) was that he is so aggressive and so likely to bet out the turn again if he had something like say J8 J9 he'd bet again when I checked and be willing to go with it once I jammed. Bob made a good point though that players like this are often likely to go with it from the flop anyways so you could make an arguement that there is little point to give them a free card.
I think that the fact we were 3 handed until one hand prior to this comes in consideration, as well as that we're only 4 handed now.
Save any responses in the lines of "I don't raie AJ from the blinds". I'm not asking for critique on my preflop play, I'm looking for insight post flop.
Will post results later.
