I was soo fucking drunk yesterday .. i still cant play cashgame poker ...
I guess i would lose lots of money ...
So i just played 2 tourneys today and fucked up both ... -14 $ ( i did well in the beginning but then got bored and played bad)
UFC79 was nice ...
I watched the fights eariler in the morning. ( not live but like a few hours later)
I was impressed by the Iceman.
Though I think he is past his prime and wont play any major role anymore in the future of MMA it was really nice to see him doing backfists , Taekdowns and ellbows vs Wanderlei
GSP my Idol also showed a frigthening good performance.
I am still too destroyed to do anything usefull ... but i found a nice video on youtube.
Pirates of the Carribean soundtrack on a Final Fantasy Video
I dont know why he does this so often
but i couldnt play Nl 10 today with our favourite finnish Protoss
monster sitting down on the best Nl10 tables.
I felt forced to play Nl25 just for dodging the SHArK_TOSS ( plz dont be tooo serious about that )
SO yeha i just had 300$ in my account and i was way underrolled for my personal taste.
On the other hand i have litteraly crushed Nl10 the last 2 weeks and i allready have 4 month of being a Nl 20/25 regular ( nl25 on party and Nl20 on Ipoker) as background.
12 buy ins is not enough to handle the swings when playing it regularly but its probably worth a shot when u know u have the skill to play it and Nl10 tables are bad.
SO i opend 4 tables of Nl25 and took a shot (i intended to play a short session).
At first i run bad , cause i didnt adept my playstyle from NL10 to Nl20
The major difference between Nl10 and Nl25 is that people have less fear and therefore play their bullshit hands more agressive.
On Nl10 people are so full of fear most of the time and so they either call with shit or fold the best hand ...
On Nl25 people bet and 3 bet , push-in with shit and dont even know there is a fold button.
The main source of making money on Nl25 is probably that Idiots try to do all the fancy stuff they know instead of playing solid.
in the first 10 Minutes i got 3bet and 4bet ... called down with shit more than in 2 weeks Nl10 ... lol
people call all in for full stacks with OESD in the flop >_<
the first 100 hands i tried to make people fold and play agressive ... went very bad since Fold Equity seems to be absolutely zero ... even less than on Nl10 .
then i adaptedt and just played solid ABC
made 3 buy ins back and ended + 26 $ which is 2 1/2 buy ins of Nl10 so i am satisifed
i will probably play Nl10 for like 2 more weeks and then when i reach 500$ i will switch to NL25 fulltime
I played a view rebuy tournies and did quite well imo.
first was a 3$ and i cashed for 49 $ losing KK to AK preflop all in >_<
second was a 8$ and i buusted on the bubble after being card dead for 130 hands ( was so lol)
I dondt mean card dead in the sense of i didnt get premiums ... i didnt get playable hands at all ... then i get AQ and lose to KT preflop all in.
A9s and KJs were by far the best hands i got for 130 !!!! hands before i finally got AQ ... rest was 58o J4o and stuff.
finished 210th of like 1,4 K people top 180places paid
and another 3$ rebuy that i played kinda too agressive after rebuy period was over ...
the positive thing is i gathered like 12K chips in all 3 tounreys till the first break not using more than a maximum of 2 rebuys !
I think they are really kinda way more profitable than freezeouts.
basically after the break you have 12 K chips with 75/150 blinds and a good price structure.
I am gonna play them from time to time i think while of course cashgame will still be my main source of income.
Concerning the topic.
U guys know i am into MMA
But i have also a second love in martial arts which is my main background for MMA.
Karate
U guys may think now ... lol Karate sucks
well i have to enlighten u that there are so many different styles of Karate and some of them are really nice.
I want to show u the style of Karate i trained a lot in the past and that i still train from time to time.
This video is from the current international championsships of Budokai-Karate that took place in russia. ( I did not fight since was and am still injured on the ellbow joint >_< from an armbar accident )
But i guess some people will be surprised that there actually is some good Karate on the planet ^^
First i have the sickest NL10 session of my life( meaning i found myself constantly in totally sick spots) swinging from -20 to +15 to -20 to +5 - 10 -> +15 and finally -35 $
rollercoaster bad beats for life >_<
then i took a break and played 2 tourneys
a 2,50 $ freezeout 6 max and a 3.30$ rebuy.
Got sick deep in the rebuy
only did 1 double rebuy for 6.60$ + normal 3$ buy in.
And at one time was 5th with like 240K chips like 100BB deep ...
lost a 230K pot where villian lucked river flush
ad then luck left me
I still was top 20 till like almost all the tourney ...
then i lost some steal attempts and finnaly got short.
cashgame wise.
my hughe heater turned around and i have lost 1 buy in today so far
nothing dramatic
EDIT
wee i turned the - 11$ at NL10 into + 3,50 $ again and end the day in green at it again
pretty wired ride ...
first + 26$ in 600 hands then i get doomswitched and lose every big pot i have a straight or top 2 pair ... every flip and all -> down to + 6
then i go on tilt and shove a straight on a flush board and QQ on a XXAA board -> needles to say i lost vs Flush and Quads Aces !!!
-11 $ after like hand 1,1 K
then i relaxe , play a 4+40$ and 2 Fpps -> calm down and play cash again
and finally end the day at 1,4 K hands with 3,50$ + in cashgames
Besides that i am up 9 buy ins the last 2,5 K hands at NL10
weeee
eaz ship
i havent managed to play as much as i planned yet ...
yesterday 2,6 K hands total
Today i have only played 600 so far since tables were kinda slow 50hands/h... ( i have to go to MMA train now... though i cant do much with my injured ellbow joint)
How do some of u guys manage to play 5 K hands a day T_T ( dont u get bored ever ?)
i run so bad today ...
went down 30$ ( 3 buy ins pretty fast)
then made it all back to -o.50 cent in like 2 hours of good play.
then the following hand appears
yeha from -0.50 to - 16$ again in 1 hand .... 2h of work gone >_<
but this wasnt the end
I lost flush over flush a few hands later
and run into another set.
finally i am a bit on tilit and push a FD + mid pair on flop
get a call by TOP pair and dont improve
-35 $ worst day on NL10 in my Life ever.
dont know what happend today
Just kept running into setups all the time ...
After 1 year of Poker and still not having made it i was thinking alot about what happend a few weeks ago.
I realized a few things :
1.) I will never make it big in Poker so i shall play more for fun than making fast money and i shouldnt set my goals too high
2.) I still can win some money even when i move up at slow pace
3.) maybe i should just play where i am a proven winner.
And thats the reason i stick to Nl 10 recently
Ive played lots of things in my almost 1 year poker career
Limit .10/.20 and .5.1
Nl 5 Nl 10 Nl 20 Nl 25 Nl 50 and a few hands of Nl 100
I played SNGS from 1.75$ MTTs to 10$ Mttts , 2$ 5$ and 10$ HU SNGS 16$ Mtts etc.
also played 3$ 5$ and 10$ tourneys
Nl20 and Nl25 have been what i played most the last months.
And to be honest even though i had lots of 20Bb/100 sessions on these 2 limits i am breakeaven longtermwise ...
f.e some older sessions
I am pretty sure i have an edge there concerning the pure cardgame skill ( i had like 30% of my sessions + 20/100BB there) but i lack lots of other things that keep me from winning big there. ( Like all the things around poker besides the pure game: Tilt control , Br management , moving down when loosing , not getting affectet by bad beats , playing A game constantly etc. )
for sure i ll give it another try when i am overrolled ! I know i can beat it and i have done it 2times for like 15buy ins in 20K hands each ...
but then when i got a downswing both times i totally broke apart and lost it all in like 5-8 k hands both times....
was so brutal combination of Downswing , Tilt and bad play.
So whats up with Nl 10
I have never lost any mentionable money on Nl10 ....
i had like 2x -2buy in sessions lifetime at it ... besides that i have like 50-70 winning sessions or so on it.
I was never ever in my life down more than 29$ at Nl10 in any session at any time.
I was always a big winner at Nl 10
And as u can guess my edge at this micro shit is brutal with 1 year of experience (4 month of Nl25/20 T_T)
where i am a proven losing player ?
SNGS and MTTs
dont know how much i am down at them lifetime but its probably like 200$ over a sample of 800 or so. with an average 5$-10$ buy in.
know thats not a big sample size but i suck at them since u have to win all-ins with the better hand which i don t.
SO my plans :
1.) play for fun more and never play when not in the mood + play on pokerstars since its the best software by far
2.) grind Nl 10 and dont move up even when rolled
3.) never ever play sngs again !
SO FAR
3 days of NL10 pokerstars
~ 2,5 K hands 60$ profit ~ 14bb/100
