Been having a pretty reasonable recovery since June began, had one -1100 day but have been averaging a reasonable profit most days! I'm definitely feeling a lot better about things, and am not pulling my hair out with stress anymore :D
This month I've played tennis for the first time EVER. I think we've played 3-4 times so far and wow its a really fun game. I suck balls, but whatever, will rapidly improve to a reasonable level. I'm currently stuck -10 in tennis bet games (we're balling outrageous with $10-20 a game), and everytime I'm on myth's team I totally blow the game and we get raped. The first day we all played together I lost 4 games on myth's team, changed teams to be against him... started playing reasonably.. and pooruser and I beat him and his partner citizenwind for 2 games. Its definitely all me doing the losing too, lol.. SORRY MYTH <3
finally ran good today and had a sick cooler set up vs this guy 3buyins deep but instead i AM A FUCKING RETARD and misread the board and only won 1 buyin when i had the sickest sickest cooler on him
I had a fine day but this is just retarded, i feel like a complete retarded failure of life cuz i can't even read a board right
lol...
otherwise things are good, housemates 'n I been partying a lot etc
railed pooruser grinding online for like 2 hours which is rly good etc
maybe a real update l8r.. didn't sleep much. really tired.
So I basically am letting myself play as well as I know I can..
Uhm.. I got set-over-set today with $500 stacks and I got away for $75. That means I've gotten set-over-set'd about once every 250 fucking hands in the last 7 sessions.
But in any case I'm really, really happy with how I played today. I broke-even but I think I played every hand very well. I guess that feels good.
Also myth moved into our summer house and I'm going to join him over there, uh, probably tomorrow since its likely I'm going to be asleep all day today. Fook I just set up my computer here and now I have to move it Q_Q
.......
I can't fucking believe I got over set'd again.
[x] make good reads that I was beat
[x] stack off anyway
[x] run bad on top of that
[x] lose 2.5 bi
[ ] be good at anything
[x] cry
Sick I feel like I am near rock bottom. Obviously I'm not, I still have plenty of a roll for 1/3 but its more like a confidence killing thing and being stressed that I'm out here on my own (except for myth's support ofc <333333) and not winning atm. Mostly just feeling so stressed ...
I've played enough live now to understand what people are doing so I need to start following through with my reads. THIS R SERIOUS
btw first guy who replied to that blog can suck my balls
btw I think I'm going to deposit 2k on FTP and grind nl50 on the side and move up as appropriate, maybe it'll keep me sharp 'n such.. If I do that I will still have 28 buyins for 1/3 so whatever..)
Today:
I profited a little bit again and am 99.99% sure I didn't make any big mistakes, so that's good. I can hopefully just keep coasting along until the deck hits me in the face (nicely) for a couple of sessions, instead of smashing my balls between cement blocks as it is known to do lately
Flirted with by some hot girl, gonna run into her tonight but its unlikely to lead anywhere. But I think I failed one of those girl-tests when she took me from the poker table to go hang out in the pit with her (she wasn't looking for me to pay for her gambling btw lol). Was fun tho.
Primary focus is poker.. I hope some amazing shit happens soon so I can be like yay :D
Ah, christ, I hate whining so damn much. I'd much rather be posting productive or atleast non-negative things vs always spamming beats/coolers 'n such. Atleast when I post HHs I get helpful analysis (thx!)
Today's session I played 8 hours, pretty standard. Started out as another struggle to break even :/ My 4th hand of the day I'm deal TT and raise and receive a delightful 4 callers. Whatevz. Flop is K88r and I check, guy to my left bets $10 into the $85 or whatever, everyone folds so I'm all like.. whatever 2 outer odds. Turn is a T and the rest is history. Like my whole stack in that hand when he flips KK over. Well I eventually turned the session into +150 profit. I think I played well today, atleast!
If anyone likes single player RPGs you really need to play The Witcher, btw. It has some software problems (probably crashes once every 2-3 hours for me, bleh), but I haven't encountered any ingame bugs or anything. Anyway, its really good. CHECK IT!
I'm still praying that I can somehow make this month break-even. Ugh. just thinking, "I hope I can break even for the month" makes me feel sick lol.
(ashamedly I do actually like this song, but I'm posting it so you can see the ridiculously hot girl omg)
The only one I really think I could of done differently is the bolded part in hand 1, the rest are just whines/please kill me/ I think I'm going to go play in traffic hands. Though lemme know if you spot a mis-play in those.
1)
Stacks $400 effective
Limper fish UTG+1, I limp T8s from MP, 4 limpers behind me including button + big blind
Flop T84r
I lead for 10 into 18, 2 fold
Button who is an european online midstakes player (though didn't seem very aggressive) raises me to $30, big blind folds so its HU
I 3bet to $95, he calls
Turn 6r, pot is ~$200 we have $200 behind
I can't remember anything about how he was acting except maybe that he said "Hmm, 65 more?" and called after a short bit of time.
Do you give up here? Is 3betting the flop bad?
Obviously pokerstove says that I'm a favorite if he can have any set (I never expect him to have an overpair or TT) and any 2pair, but do people/nits aka regs fold all worse 2pair (And possibly the rare T8) to my 3bet?

2)
Stacks are $450 at 1/3. All I know about villain is that he's an online midstakes FR reg on cakepoker. Been playing with him for a bit and he hasn't been splashing around in pots or anything, just looks like a pretty standard tight reg-guy
I limp 77 from UTG+1. He raises MP over me + a limper to $16 (standard). Big blind calls, I call, limper calls.
Flop 79Qss pot $65
I lead $40, guy folds, Cake reg raises to $120. BB fold. I raise to $300.
Cake reg shoves for the $130 or whatever more, I call.
I hung out with this guy and his crew away from the tables and they said its pretty much a cooler, though the cake reg said that he might of folded all draws vs my 3bet due to "deepness". WHAT THE FUCK>??????? Myth also said to never fold. My question is if my lead/3bet is good, since it seems to turn my hand face up.
So when he raises my lead, is his range now..

If you add KK, AA I am only 60/40 and I'm pretty sure he's gonna flat call or fold KK, AA

3) Stacks are effectively upto $400 I raise QJss UTG+1 on a pretty good table, though I get an unexpected 7 callers.
I say to the dealer, "Ok that's good, now could I just flop the nuts please?"
He says "We'll see"
Flop AKThh
Pot is $80, do you lead here? How much do you bet?
I lead for $50 and everyone instantly folded, then the last person to fold, a fish, showed me an Ace that they mucked??????
I've been set-over-set more than 5 times this month.
Almost everytime I've gotten it in I've been drawing nearly dead.
With QJ I flop AKTss in an 8way raised pot, I cbet and everyone folds.
With KK I flop KATss against a huge station/fish, he calls flop, turn Jr. He has AQ.
I have T8 on T84r vs bottom set.
77 on 79Qss vs QQ
33 on 37Tr vs 77
etc
I have 44 on 469ss and everyone folds to my cbet.
Sorry I can't bring myself to write anything constructive or interesting. Hopefully I'll run good and can start posting some interesting thoughts or whatever.
One thing is that I'm meeting a bunch of people, almost all of them other poker players. The 1/3-2/5 tables are jam packed with online midstakes regs (1/2-3/6). I need to get to 5/10 asap to get away from these guys during WSOP.
Obviously that's never happening because I'm stuck in set-over-set hell.
Though I do wish I played better (ie in the KK on ATKJ hand, stacks were $220 on turn w/ a $200 pot and I was oop, Myth says that bet/fold ~$40 is probably optimal but I bet $100/called due to the guy being a huge huge fish)..... I don't think I play so bad that I should be losing at 1/3-2/5.
Meh, I don't want to write a long whine post so I'll keep it brief :D
This is really bad timing. My confidence is shot, and I feel completely useless and impotent. I guess I'm going to move down to 1/3 or 1/2 for the rest of the month and pray that I can break-even for the month and just..whatever y'know? I was hoping for 5/10 during WSOP but its most likely (with any luck) going to be 2/5.. maybe 5/10 by july?
I ended my session after 4hrs today because the tilt has built up to completely unmanageable levels, lol. I'm back at the apartment and am going to chug beers and watch a movie and sit here trying to clear my head. That's the plan, atleast! (Should of picked up some liquor imo)
Gonna watch The Cable Guy now, never seen it before and I <3 jim carrey
