here, take my mother's purse and fuck off... leave my money alone ffs...
 
You can pretty much scrap my last blog entry coz this fuckin sucks.
I managed to get back from my first bigger downswing which was 8-9BIs. Then I switched to a different poker room, Propaganda Poker (which is also ipoker) and since then I lost 13 FUCKIN BUYINS. I went from 550 to measely 309 'U S and A' dollars.
Again I blame it on running bad, but what the fuck do I know. I'm moving down.
NL10, nice to see you again, I hope I can beat you.
Fuck this shit.
HEM question
NiTE, Oct 24 2008
How the fuck do I see all my NL20 hands. I played on CDPoker before, now I play on Propaganda Poker. I have different player names. How do I see it ALL TOGETHER FFS!!
Am I stupid or does this program needs some polishing to make things more logical????????????????
It's off!

Yesterday I noticed a change in the way my poker lobby looks. The moment I figured out what it was, I got very excited, shipped 4 tables and started playing NL20 6max as usual. I wasn't surprised to see that the money started flowing to me.
Played 1K hands at ~19 BBets/100 -> +4 BIs.
See for yourself if you can notice the difference in these 2 pics:
How it looked before:

How it looks now:

Yep, looks off to me.
Have a look at the graph for this limit; I included the chronological listing of the blog entries I made as the time went on:
 
Phew.. it feels good to not feel that I'm-on-a-downswing feeling no more.
All in all, I cleared the things I had to do on CDPoker and issued a withdrawal request. In a few days, the money should be in my moneybookers account and then I'll deposit it to a different ipoker site with 45% rakeback. Let's hope I run good for as long as possible!

..yes.
I'm overwhelmed.. don't have nothing to say really. I have no idea about anything. I don't even know anymore if I'm running bad or not, coz this is lasting a while compared to anything so far.
I mean, if someone knew for a fact that this is just tougher games, I'd quit poker now and never play again coz frankly.... meh.. it doesn't matter. I'll move down tomorrow.
Getting mowed

Fuck this game. I hate it. I hate it because it's so fucking hard to tell if you're playing wrong or if you're running bad. I admire all the downswingers who manage to play their game normally believing in themselves.
I admire all you guys who managed to get good by yourselves. I feel I need a need a coach coz I can't learn this way.
My last blog entry was about how bad the players at NL20 are. They still haven't convinced me they don't suck, all I know I'm on a 5BI downswing and I feel overwhelmed because a 5BI downswing after moving up feels like shit.
I'll post my hands from today on the forum and I won't play till my head is balanced again. FUUUUUUUUUUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! So frustrated.....
I want to really to know this game inside-out, I wanna see the ones and zeros all the time, I wanna be the Neo of Poker. I wanna learn the whys, becauses and if-thens of poker. I don't want to doubt my game, I want to be sure. If you know you play well, you wouldn't mind losing 90% of your BR coz you'd know you'll get it back thru discipline. I hate doubt.
I hope it's like this every day

Wow, today was my first day at NL20 and from what I've seen, it's a fuckin joke over at ipoker.
So many idiots it's fuckin hillarious...
I have to dumb-down my NL10 play strategy to be able to milk these idiots the most.
At NL10 I used to tweak my play to suit my position VERY much. UTG I'd maybe open 10% hands, cutoff was at aroun 30% PF raise, and button ~40%.
At NL20, players per flop is WAY above the NL10, so I totally tightened up my range, and I'm not so cute on the button anymore.
2 high cards -> raise, hit flop, bet pot, bet pot, bet pot and watch villan show 3rd pair shit kicker.
I don't CBet missed flops, unless very safe.
I think I could cruise these stakes without making a single bluff, or maybe even semi-bluff.
God, I hope every day continues like this one. Time will tell I guess.
A few semi-bad-beats happened, and it's the reason I'm at only 9PTbb/100, but since then I modified my play a bit coz I realized who I'm dealin with.
Finally... NL20
NiTE, Sep 03 2008
Reached $400 today. Moving up to NL20 tommorow or maybe even later today.
I realized that at these tables... My worst enemy and toughest opponent is - ME.
Things don't go perfectly for a while and I'll suddenly attribute that to my opponents being uber players. I start changing styles, experimenting when in fact all I'm fighting against is variance. And the way to fight variance isn't to change your style, it's to stick to doing what you know is best.
It can be tough to realize whether it really is only variance tho...
Anyway, once I fixed the mess in my head, and fixed the 'fear of success' of actually moving up, I started cruising steadily, just allowing the money to come to me.



Let's see how NL20 works out, I'm excited about it!
Cheers!
Fuckit
NiTE, Aug 29 2008
damnit, I'm so edgy today... Keep expecting to break the 400$ checkpoint(so I can move up to NL20), but everytime I get close, I start playing like an idiot. It's like I'm one allin away from it, and then I start convincing myself that my hand is good enough when in fact I would fold it on any other day.
Shit. Was at ~390+ on 2 occasions today, and everytime I made idiotic moves. Finished the day with some heavy monkeying around and BR standing at $366.
wait.. wat??

I managed to get a hold of my Postgre password which I forgot after setting it up for PT3 so now I managed to make HEManager work.
Anyway, here's one graph that got me a bit worried:

Does this mean that I'm officially a luckbox?
I mean, does the fat green line mean total winnings or only All-in Winnings?
Where can I see how much progress I'm making in honing my luckboxing skills?
PokerEV had that graph, is this the same thing? I hope not, coz otherwise I got some serious work to do to beat this limit.
Fish are getting better

As I type this, I'm 4 tabling NL10 6max on ipoker. Here are the agression factors of the opponents.
Table 1

Table 2

FUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKK!
The reason I'm posting is coz I'm in the negative numbers today, so it made me aware of these things.
I still feel superior to them, but I don't think those AF numbers fit into your classical definition of a microstakes fish...
