ugh

gawdawaful, Jul 21 2007

had my first losing day online since July 12th. Not pleased.
I've been playing like an erratic maniac on 100NL and sure enough, my results shows. My graph has been going up and down, up and down, up and down. Pretty sick, and pretty funny at the same time

I think for the rest of the month, I'm just going to buckle down and finish off at 100NL.

I'm too lazy to upload my graph, so another time...

mmkay, I'm a fish.
I went down the play some 1/2NL at casino today and it went pretty badly. First I had to wait a good hour or so before a seat opened up despite 3 games of 1/2 going on.
When I sat, first hand I picked up UTG was AA (they just dealt me in, didnt require me to post while my chips was being brought to me)
I open for 10. Game was played with whites ($1) and reds ($5). 4 players call including one from SB. Flop comes K J rag all clubs and sure enough, I didnt have a club. Pot was $40 and sb donk lead for $10, I thought about it, and raised to $40. Other two cold callers fold and sb calls.
Turn comes Qc, and he quickly bets $20 into whatever many the pot was. I felt nothing helps and I cant possibly call a river bet so I mucked it.
A couple hands later, I was in the big blind with 66 and called a raise to $12 since there were hmm, 5 or 6 people in the pot. Flopped Ace with 2 rags with FD, so I check folded.
After this I rebought for $60 or so to put me back up to $198. I didnt have change so I didnt make it full $200.
After this, I was card dead for a long while. I should mention now that the guy two seats to my right, who was SB and made those donk bets on a monotone board earlier, seems to like raising to random shit like $7 or $12 and continues to cbet with like $10 or $20.
Fast track to me completing the blind with 77 on sb. There were 2 limpers so the pot was 8. Flop comes A 7 3 rainbow, so I check. Action checks around to last guy to act, some random old dude. He fucking fires $18 into $8 pot. So I just called. Turn brought a 6, completing some random gut shot. I announced check in the dark before turn was dealt, so old dude fires $20 this time.
-donk fish alert-
I went to raise and dropped $60 but since I didnt do it in one motion, the dealer claimed it was a call. FUCK.
River was a 4 or some random shit like that making it one to the straight, but I went ahead and chuck the last 40 that was already in my hand. My goal on turn was to splash the pot making it look like a bluff xD
old dude tanks, folds. stupid fuck.

After this, I ran drier than a Tibetan monk and just mucked a few hands. Then, 9cTs on sb, which I went ahead and completed. Flop comes 9 5 6 with flush draw. We check around to guy two to my right and he fires 10. I thought about it, called. Turn brought a small overcard like a Js (now 2c and 2s? on board) I check call 20 on turn not sure where I stand. River brings 7s completing runner runner flush. He bets $20 again and I call with nothing else to do (donkey fish station Anyways, he shows 3 4 for OESD and river straight. Gay.

This puts me down to something like 160 or 170, not sure exactly how much. Very next hand, me on button. Limpers preflop, standard. Guy two to my right opens for 7, again, CO calls, I call, and a couple more calls. Flop comes Q 5 4 with FD. Action checks to pfr and he fires $20 into maybe 40 some pot. CO calls, I raise to $60 (donk, shoulda been more in retrospect since I didnt consider the pot size.) Action folds around to pfr and he quickly calls. Guy in CO looks at me annoyed/disgusted and tossed. I figure he had a FD. At this point, I can see the pf raiser a bit antsy. He didnt even look at the turn (7, FD whiffed) and shoved. Pot at this point is 120 some with me having about 10-20 smaller than that in front of me. (He had me covered, had quite a stack going in fact. He called some guys river shove early while saying "I dont think you have shit" on a river paired 3 with pock aces while other guy had top pair 8s or something) Anyways, he shoved all in, I quickly called. I felt he was drawing/bullshitting. He shows 5 7o for 2p. Bad beat. At this point, CO was pissed and says he had Q7.

After this, I went to take out $200 more from ATM. I came back, first hand, TT. Guy opened from UTG for $10, and guy to my right who hasnt raised a single hand all day, meticulously played with his chips and calculated out a raise to $30. Easy fold for me, might as well have deuces. Action fold around back to him and he mucks. A couple boring hands after that, I limped AKo UTG (donk, fish)
Rightfully so, I was punished. Like 456456456 people limped along. Action goes to SB and he makes it $7 to go. This is the same guy that I've been describing earlier. Perfecto, $7 is like the most retarded raise given that a.) hes way OOP and b.) hes not going to drive anyone out with that moron raise. I make it $30 to go after bb folds. Action quickly folds around back to him, and he very openly leans over the BB and looks at my stack, and said all in. At this point, I'm like... wtf? what are you making $7 in SB with a fucking assload of limpers and then shoving over a UTG limp-raise? I figured I had one ace and one king, so odds of him having AA/KK is lower. So went ahead and called. He shows KK, no help came, gg me.

So, down $460 this trip and played poorly. But yah, thats that.

Thoughts on Aggression & June Update

gawdawaful, Jun 30 2007

After checking out ggplz's blog, and extensively comparing his stats with my own given that we play at the same stakes, I made an interesting discovery:

Back tracking to when I first started using PT, I had no idea that the aggression factor did not automatically include preflop aggression. So for the longest time (after having worked on being more aggressive,) my AF hovered around the mid 2s or the low 3s. I felt fine about that. Until of course I realized that it wasnt including PF AF. That checkbox changed my perception towards my own aggression for good. Long story short, I went from being happy with my "3 AF" to, WTF I'm a mid~high 1AF donkey.

Today, while comparing my stats with ggplz's, I unchecked the box again to get a general idea of how my AF compares postflop to his. To my surprise, my total AF went DOWN, meaning that my preflop AF > postflop AF (so the 3 streets combined)
This discovery was a bit surprising of course. How should I interpret this? I'm not sure yet. But I'm going to work on a few potential explanations and swirl it around in my head. Meanwhile, feel free to jump in and provide your ideas and insights + improvements.

Fast forward to my June. After exploding out of the gates in the first 9 days, I was up at one point, $3.7k (after about 13k hands) playing 100NL. One massive heater. It felt great while I was riding it, stacking people left and right and simply could do no wrong. Of course, variance is variance and it wont be complete without a cold front. The two weeks following that heater, I dropped a solid 2k on coolers, spews and suckouts. I also spent a fair bit of money playing tournies and WSOP ME satellites, so my winnings this month is a bit all over the place.

Moving on to next month's goals, I'm aiming to bring more structure & discipline in my life. I'll only have classes on Mondays from now on and since I bought a laptop, I dont trust leaving that in my bag while I workout at the school gym. So, I'll take out a membership. I'm lucky enough to live within 10minute walk to a gym/pool rec center place so the goal is to go everyday in the morning and workout or swim, go home & shower, then hit the tables. Hopefully I can keep this up + play lots of poker.

FTP update:
I forgot to mention that I swapped some cash on to FTP ($200) and started playing there. The plan was to grind 10NL until $250 and hit up 25nl. After getting to $215, I was tired of 10nl and went ahead to 25. Long story short, they suck at 25nl very badly and the $215 roll became 400 something. Today was a tourney day for me. Played in $3r, $20 1R 1Addon, $10+1 180man, $20+2 180man, $10+1 15k guaranteed on stars, supernova free roll, silverstar free roll, and monthly 100k free roll on star & a 14k guaranteed on FTP. I pretty much bombed it up on stars, but I finished at a moderate mid 20s in the FTP tourney and pulled down a clean 50 or 60 profit or something. So my FTP roll is just over 500. Plan: move up to 50NL at 700.

Life:
After hating life/school(gay) because of this one gayass course, I received some sick good news. Background: I have not gotten anything below a B- in any course since um, Fall of 2005 (English 100something, intro to prose genres). This semester, I was just getting raped up the ass in my 6 week psych course. Managed to pull two 62s on my midterms and a 65 on my paper. I figured for sure that my B- or better streak is over. Decided it was better to play poker the nights before the exam and just cram on the day of exam (started at 3:30). I somehow managed to luckbox a 78% on the final. Furthermore, since the psych department at my school scales everything, I managed to luckbox a B final grade. Kickass. Ship it. Suck it bitches.

Um, yah. Anyways, anyone have suggestions on dealing with motivation problems? I've been slacking way too much this week. Since the 25th, I've only logged 7.5k hands, which pales in comparison to the 61k total hands logged this month.

Back to 50NL I go...

gawdawaful, Jun 20 2007

So gross. I didnt even make that many moron plays today either. Just got fucking coolered to hell.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/215879
That 55 hand, I thought my play looks like a missed FD monkey river bluff type hand. Ran into the nuts, gg.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/215880
wtf??
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/215882
21/16 and he picks up the fucking nuts a few hands after I 4bet shove pf for 100bbs and took it down.

The rest of the day, I either pick up aces and dont get action, or I pick up AK/AQ and miss the flop. So many 3 bet pots where I was forced to check fold turn OOP on ragged flop and shit. I dont even know why I bother sometimes.

Anyways, earlier tonight, I was channel surfing and saw some random show. Googled TV schedule for the show name, IMDB'ed the show and looked her up. Shes hot.

By Pringles can.

Underneath that plastic top, theres a foil type seal on top with a tab that lets you pull it off easily. I for whatever reason, can never for the life of me, do it correctly. I always manage to pull from where the tab is, and somehow not rip the seal off, but rip off the edges of the cardboard box that the foil is sealed onto. I am 0 for my last 3 making the same mistake. WTF is wrong with me.

Meanwhile, during my break from poker, I've decided to start playing on UB with my $60 or $70 roll. 10NL is fun. Now that I'm done with my stupid final and only have a midterm to study for next week, I will start playing more, and hopefully build up a nice little UB roll. (I still have bonus $$ there too, which is sweet)

Wish me luck

Btw: in the future, maybe a few months down the road, I will need FT$ for possibly Stars or UB money. Just a heads up for all you FT ballers to think of excuses when I come to you asking for help.
