Break from poker
Svenman87, Feb 22 2007
after losing ~10 bi in the past week i decided I'm going to take a few weeks off poker...
If i do play it will be just a few tables.
My BR is still around 2k I just feel like its just not going so well for me.
I know i'm obviously playing bad, and I intend to fix it. I just dont think I can find my leaks at this point in time.
In the mean-time I'll play WoW and other random games ^_^
And hopefully get a full-time job soon to help occupy my time.
Anyways ;D i'll lurk the threads and be around on vent.
Take it easy ^_^

Feb 14th, Me vs Tilt
Svenman87, Feb 14 2007
Eh so today started off really shitty @ NL 50 and 2 tables of NL 100
I got raped pretty bad D: and a few setups left me steaming
So I smartly jumped up to NL 200 and donked off 100 more before got a hold of myself.
I took a break and came back to 12 table NL 50 6-max and FR.
Here are the results

My luck continues... I've yet to have a losing day in Feb.
Feb. 12th... "Teh Battlezz"
Svenman87, Feb 12 2007
I started playing at about 1am last night... and it was rough.
I ended up dropping ~5 buy-ins in 30 minutes. 3 set-up hands and 1+ to pure monkey tilt/bluffs/I'm an idiot.
I stopped for a few hours watched a few CR videos and went back into the action
This time i went back on three .15/.30 Deep Stack Tables and one 100NL table It went fairly well and i managed to pick up ~100 before calling it quits.
Finally I decided there is no way i'm remaining in the red on my poker tracker in net profit/loss so I grinded my ass off on two tables of 100NL and two of 50NL
and the final result was this:



Variance This... PART DEUX
Svenman87, Feb 11 2007
Started off going to a b-day party of this girl i dated a few times. AWKWARD because her boyfriend was there, so I check/folded myself out of that place.
Then I went to a dance with my ex, we are good friends now and it was a good time ^_^... Try to imagine my white/goonish self on the dance floor. Two words. SHIP IT
Here is tonights session. Bleh, I think if my hands held up and if I made one draw that would be def. +150 but cant win them all :-

I played a shorter session... but it was over a few hours.
I'm trying to walk away and do something else for about 10 minutes if i take a bad beat and feel like im steaming.
I have some interesting hands... I'm not sure if I played any of them correctly. If people could please look at them and comment on the play i'd appriciate it.

VARIANCE THIS
Svenman87, Feb 10 2007
Okay so i woke up around 3am and was messing around my computer watching a few cr videos when i decided i would play 1000 hands everyday for the next month.
So i put in a few hour session and it turned out it was an EXTREME roller coaster...
I still cant get my fucking pokerpatterns to work... Because I dont know how to import the damn files
Sooooooo I decided i'd make my own.

As you can see the wicked -400 downswing... 300 is all to one guy who gave me trouble all night long. I would flop the nuts get it all in and by the river he'd fill up or get a flush or w/e... Regardless This put me on mad tilt and i lost another 50~ due to him making me mad tilty 
I ended up only being down vs him about 100... I will search his name for the next month to destroy any respect he had for himself as a poker player.
Anyways here is the pokertracker stats after my sick roller coaster


New Haircut, New Setup, Same Grind.
Svenman87, Feb 09 2007
Okay well today I woke up around 2pm to my mom yelling at me to wake up and find a job and to get a haircut (I guess employers dont like hippy hair.. bleh) The reason I overslept was because I was playing poker from 2-5 and watched a few cardrunners videos (I recently subscribed to CR and I think it's a great tool to improve your game for anyon who plays 50nl+) until 7am.
Sidenote: I also finally purchased Pokertracker ^_^ yay

So yesterday I went back to college to pick up all of my stuff from the dorms and i got most of it setup. I still have to work on the speaker system because I set it up wrong :-( And my roomate stole my headphones... (S.O.B. I'LL KILL YOU!) so i'm reduced to using headphones that only the left ear works. SOMETIMES 

I wish I could get PokerPatterns to work... but it won't let me output the data into my pokerpatterns database :-( I guess i have to mess around with both of them more... But anyways I played for about 3 hours and it was a roller coaster...
Things were off to a SLOW for the first 2 hours. Then i pushed with an open-ended + flush + overs and lost vs two all-ins which set me back... I ended in a rush of cards though and played fairly well I think.
EDIT: I'm only playing 4 tables at a time. This is because I'm really trying to concentrate on each situation hand-to-hand, and so far I think it has paid off a lot more than playing 12 tables of ABC poker without any reads on anyone at a table.

Well I'm off to nap for a few hours then wake up and play another session or go party. Talk to you all later ^_^

P.S. lol @ joining a 100NL table then getting scared to put 1/20th of my br on the line so I left after picking up 2 pots preflop
Short Session Before I crash
Svenman87, Feb 08 2007
downloaded Pokertracker to finally start keeping track...
This is obviously going to change because I dont know if i can keep up 22 bb/100 :-p

So far SHIP IT ;D

College Drop Out
Svenman87, Feb 06 2007
First I'd like to say... COUNT CHOCULA IS THE BEST CEREAL EVER?

Over the past week i have been on the edge of dropping out of college. My first semesters grade was far from great... And this semester wasn't off to a great foot either.
I just decided its best to cut my losses and drop out. I'll be getting 50% tuition back which is better than nothing I suppose.
At the moment I'm at my mom's house for a while, in a few days I'll go back to college and pick up all my stuff and bring it home.
I'll hopefully find a job relitively soon. In the meantime I think I will put in some sick sessions in poker. My roll has been on the edge of jumping up to 100NL for about a week now and I just want to bust 2K so I can finally take some serious shots.
At the moment I usually 12 Table 50NL Full Ring which helps pass the time, but I still find myself with a lot of downtime... I wish I could play another 4 tables :-(
Anyways I'll update everyone in a few days with the jobs/my quest for 100NL


Poker and Jim Beam
Svenman87, Jan 21 2007
I played a few smaller sessions the other day.
It's amazing how I can run over one table and get wrecked on another... Down 4 buy-ins on one and vice versa on the other one :-D I ended up about two buy-ins and that's when another kid on my dorm floor came in and asked me to ship him about 15.00 i then saw him playing at one of my tables @ 50NL...
It wasn't very long before he ended up sitting out @ about 32.00 and I did the same with about 70 after making a nice bluff...
I had KQs in the SB. MP 3-bets. I flat.
Flop comes 3 2 3. I lead out for 3/4 pot for about 4 bucks. he comes over the top for about 14. I tank it a bit and re-raise for 45. He ends up telling me he has JJ and folds.
I show the bluff and yell @ my roomate SHIP IT 
Next hand i get A10s Suited on the button. another person in MP 3-bets, again I flat. Flop comes A 8 10 rainbow. He comes out for a pot sized bet and I insta-pot it back. He goes into the tank before mucking. I really thought i was getting paid by any ace there due to my last hand, but I guess these people are just too smart for me.
Soon after i ended up leaving and joined a 10NL table because i saw my friend was playing on it and i started to drink some Whiskey. Make a long story short... I dropped 20 bucks in 30 minutes ... I tell you, Drinking is pretty -EV for poker
After that my roomate and i began to drink more vodka/jim beam until we were ready to roam meet some new people :D
We ended up in a room watching beerfest which i had to leave 1/2 through @ 4am because i felt kinda sick so i just went back to the dorm and crashed for the night.
Hopefully I can put in some nice sessions this week and begin padding my roll for 100NL which i should be moving up to very soon. 
Hej ^_^
Svenman87, Jan 15 2007
Hrmmm well this is my first blog so I'm sure it'll be terrible...
I just got back to Mankato State on Saturday after a month break. During that month break I played exclusively live 6/12-15/30 Limit [ 15/30 - Out of my bankroll ] But I had luck on my side apparently
Because I turned 200 bucks into over 3.5Grand in a nice 45-hour week.
After Depositing over 1500 I decided to use the last 2grand and put it back online.
My history online is not that I wish to remember :-(
Last december i deposited 200 and ran it up to 1.3k Then i proceeded to play/run/whatever bad and ran it down to 600 before I cashed out fearing I might lose it all.
So I think with this 2K deposit i'll really try to discipline myself and stick to my limits and ONLY NL/Limit Holdem (I would play Razz, Stud, Stud H/L, Omaha, and H/L)
Anyways I'll check back in a few days with a few hand histories/updates
Talk to you all later ^_^
