Had a really competetive tournament day today, that started off slowly when I didn't cash in the first few for the day.

Then I got really deep in a $10 180 man SnG, but lost a key flip AT vs 66 with 15 to go that crippled me, and I soon departed afterwards.

After that finished I was really focusing on the 3R, and had built up a monster stack. I was sitting on 70k with 330/2500 people to go when my wireless unexpectedly goes out. 5 minutes pass, 20 minutes, and hour. Before I know it, its 3 hours later and I'm out of the tournament in 104th. I was in the top 20% in chips and playing my absoulte A game, no telling if I would have won it tonight.

So..that cash pretty much gets me back to even for the day, and we'll give it another go tomorrow.

I'm only doing 4-6 tournaments at a time now, instead of trying to cruise with 10-16 going. The quality of my hands has vastly improved, going to keep playing like this.

So I made today a tournament day in respect for our fellow LP'er Hevad Khan, and got well...Fucked all night.

I busted in every FT way before top 3, and to finish the night...well...here's how I went out in the $3rebuy.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232119

me busting out of the $10 180 man SnG finishing fucking seventh...cardead the whole final table, this is the ONLY hand I picked up other than 55 which I burned 3x bb calling w/ two people in the pot to hit a set.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232111

and a cute hand in the middle stages of the 3R
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232092

I could post 100,000 bad beats here, today was brutal..

I'm running like...fucking awful.
Today was the first day I felt like I wasn't tilting anymore when I got back on (from last Tuesdays session), but stars wouldn't take that.

Pissed off.

First break - started off the tournament well when I hit a pair+open ender vs AK and doubled up, maintained my chipstack fairly well and finished at the first break @ 5k chips.

Now on a new table, starting the second break - Lost a ton of flips, managed to fight back, only to make a bad push in the SB behind two MP limpers with JQos for 15x bb...one of the EP limpers held AQs and called for his stack. AQ held for A high and I was knocked out.

Started playing on NL100 today after a long day of tournaments. Session went really bad at first, and dropped 3BI's. After frustration set in, I took a break and came back.

After coming back I played my best poker for a good three hours and won back what I lost, and then some. By the end of the session I ended up down 1/2 a BI. I made a couple crazy plays at the end of the night I wish I didn't make...oh well..

I reset my stats during the middle of my session, but here's the last hands I played;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 2509 hands and saw flop:
- 163 out of 329 times while in big blind (49%)
- 95 out of 330 times while in small blind (28%)
- 258 out of 1850 times in other positions (13%)
- a total of 516 out of 2509 (20%)
Pots won at showdown - 65 of 133 (48%)
Pots won without showdown - 338

and a couple nice pots here, im too tired to post analysis right now;

vs Poolace & iseethroughu - best pot in like a month
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226667

vs joselim - best call I've seen in ages. (vs me)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226702

vs iceethroughu - I cant believe this shit.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226700

vs JuantotheC - I've been playing back at him alot. It was obvious he was on a draw on the flop. UL turn..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226700

vs VenKanto - Nice pot..blew the profits 5 minutes later in a crazy bluff though..(I've been reading The Book of Bluffs by Matt Lessinger, and bluffing alot more lately, some for big profits, others not so profitable)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226692

vs JuanTotheC - Called his raise with QKs in EP execting to get great odds by the flop, and I did. Just called to hit a str8 or a flush. Flopped nice, turned my K, but still felt like I was behind and had to dump it.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226689

vs JoseLim - FUCK this hand sucked.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226687

vs Marijuonos - Nice!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226679

vs bbbubba - this was just...great...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226677

vs solovaa - good bluff opportunity
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226674

vs 507kowboy - I fucking suck...cooler! I don't think I will ever fold this for 1 buyin. EVER.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226666

vs Jostos - He let me set him up perfectly.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226656

vs 507Kowboy - I guess I shoulda slowed down..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226637

vs babs and RTgoosen - babs is the loosest player on NL100 that I've seen. I try to enter any pot he is in with any cards that have potential to win. I flop a FD and get 3/1 to call on all streets+my implied odds its fine IMO. Too bad the retard that was laying me the 3/1 was calling with a 2/1 FD with no expected value if he hits *(he can't put me on a smaller FD*) FUCK this hand. set up bullshit
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226629

vs JJ2win - Just ran a bad bluff into him, he thought i was bluffing him again.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226621

vs Babs1337 - super loose player so I RR with JJ PF. Flop gin and figure he will bet it for me, then I get it in on the turn cuz he slowed down. He smelt my trap, but couldn't get away from it. nice try babs
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226614

vs Babs1337 - Got him again
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226605

fun hand to see, don't know what mathias was thinking. NH babs
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226610

vs aututaki - biggest spew of the day
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226588

vs hardhairy - wasn't gonna let him draw cheaply on this board and took it down, nice small pot.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/226632

So all in all, today was a day full of bad beats, great beats, some mistakes, some great hands. Variance ran really high and really low for me. I also played pretty well for most of the session, except about 20 minutes where I lost 3BI's back to back to back...was a sad time. Felt like I was being set up..

I'm gonna go play more, I'm not tired n still have alot of beer.

19279 FPP til I finish in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Tonight I had a great session on NL50. Managed to win alot of BI's, while playing my best during the whole session.

I'll probably be playing more later, here's my stats from today's session;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3104 hands and saw flop:
- 215 out of 400 times while in big blind (53%)
- 119 out of 405 times while in small blind (29%)
- 314 out of 2299 times in other positions (13%)
- a total of 648 out of 3104 (20%)
Pots won at showdown - 77 of 149 (51%)
Pots won without showdown - 376

Got pretty wasted after this post and played a thousand hands.
Started off well, but after putting people to the test like every single hand I started getting called like mad. Lost a few BI's, oh well. Did rake in one monster pot;

vs DerekRoD - TvZ, I proxy rax, he pushes his ling rush, I dodge that shit n rake in a monster.

Had a nice session on NL50 today, was being sucked out on some in the beginning but then started running a lil better

got pretty drunk during the session, was playing fairly loose & managed to finish the session up a lil more than 5BI.

Probably be playing more later, if not then tomorrow;

Heres my stats from todays session;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1623 hands and saw flop:
- 135 out of 234 times while in big blind (57%)
- 72 out of 227 times while in small blind (31%)
- 201 out of 1162 times in other positions (17%)
- a total of 408 out of 1623 (25%)
Pots won at showdown - 51 of 97 (52%)
Pots won without showdown - 189

And a few good & bad hands;

vs Malleebull - lol I don't know what this guy was thinking...but cool thx for the money;
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224293

vs bubbajoe/ivonovich - hmm, led out on my set here and had ivonivichichihcihch in there with me, figured him for TPw/FD or a smaller flush. Turn gave me no help and he came out firing, I decided not to muck incase he had a flush, and make a pretty shitty call. I then make my boat and shove hoping he has the Ad, but he didn't and folded.
It was probably a good turn call, his bet was pretty big, he didn't want a diamond to come..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224286

vs kip1 - lol..just give it to me why don't you
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224290

vs croucher1979 - pretty obvious hes on a flush draw here, especially when the king pairs the board (he would have made a signifigant flop bet if he had a king to protect vs the open ender and FD), let him bluff the river~
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224280

vs futsy - I like this hand, I never ever limp any high SC UTG, so I limp it here. Figure nobody can put me on it if I hit it. I don't do this more than 1% of the time, but its nice that it worked ;-)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224288

vs MightyMonkey - led the flop trying to get reraised (made a bet that most donks make with the open ender), that didn't work but it panned out well, letting the AK hit top pair. River i check, see someone has something and try to represent a missed draw with a big bet. Worked
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224270

vs prentissscr - man I don't know what this guy is thinking, but we need to play with him more! Sweet pot for me!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224265

vs aceme007 - figured he was on a small pair here, last I saw the flop was JJQ, QKA!!!!, and it came.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224264

vs yorbor32 - Yorbor donkbets out, I start building the pot and creating fold equity. Turn smashes gin for me, I bet enough to keep him in the pot. River he gives me the rest, sweet.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224263

vs Mrbeansack - open my sooted connector, lead flop, play it like aces and get paid. He was out of line reraising with his pp there anyways, let alone calling all-in with it.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224258

vs 3beers - I played this pretty bad, I should have realized the only thing hes reraising me here with on the river is a flush...psh..atleast he gets paid on his straight flush
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224253

vs oak1995 - I played this really bad I think, I won't bet these rivers 4way again..let alone call his reraise..so obvious I'm beat..lol (on second thought I do beat 25h and 35h!!!! lol)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224273

vs mercadian - open my SC UTG, get alot of callers. They bet SO weak on flop trying to get me to define my hand or trying to get value on shitty hand or smthing, so I call with my 3STR8FlUSH, turn an open ender and let them bet again. Too bad they bet like 10 cents so I do what any logical player will do and represent a monster here. (For all they know I have Top/Middle set). Pick up a caller and shove river (which completes a straight) but he didn't have that much $ just incase he did have it. I think thats all he would have called me with here.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224242

vs egn174 - Open my AQ in MP and get a couple callers. Random donkbet from EP (Probably on a small PP(55-JJ)), I flat which is the line JJ-AA+AK takes here. Turn brings out the 3rd King so its hard to represent top quads, but still can represent AA/QQ/JJ and he could believe I have AK I assume. He flats and donks out the river to see if I was bluffing him..So I make a logical raise and steal it away.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224236

vs darth-nil - PHEW!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224238

vs TomGeorgeONT - I love abusing weak players postflop on the button.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224225

vs LushLauren - I like this one, I 3bet AK from the SB and get a caller, figure shes on AK or TT-AA obv. Flop my TPTK, and see no reason to bet here (I only get called by a hand that dominates me). I lead fairly weak on the turn and get called, then its time to ship the rest on the river.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224224

vs dld390 - Lee didn't want me to do to well tonight.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224219

vs PlayinTW - This hand pretty much plays itself out, its obvious hes on a set when he makes this play, I'm not folding with all that in there though.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224178

vs NME99X - AA vs KK 4TW!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/224218

So all in all, today was a nice session, short but sweet.

Started the night off with the $10 $15,000 GNTD and placed 160/2190, then went to cash games;

Played for an hour or so tonight, but wasn't really running to well or thinking too clearly so I decided to call it a night early.

Gonna go play some SC, get high n watch some movies
pm / msn me if you wanna play SC anytime soon;

So today was a really long day of poker for me, 13+ hours, but all in all it was a good one. I played in 100,000 tournaments today, and mananged to win $80 by the end of the day doing that. Couldn't really get many first places except first place in 1 of the $216 tournament ticket
tournaments. After getting discusted with tournaments, I opened up 12 NL50 tables and started the grind.

Today's session went very well, I managed to finish up over 6BI by the end of the session, while withstanding some bad beats, but I did run fairly well.

I feel like I now have my own style down, which I would have never been able to formulate without the help of TL.

Last month and before that, my won % @ showdown was always between 42-48, this month I've managed to have it between 52-60% during almost every session. I'm hoping to maintain over 60% full-time, it should drastically increase my win rate.

Anyways, Here's today's stats; (not running 22-25% anymore, only play like that when I'm hitting like Jamie Gold)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3579 hands and saw flop:
- 230 out of 467 times while in big blind (49%)
- 98 out of 471 times while in small blind (20%)
- 270 out of 2641 times in other positions (10%)
- a total of 598 out of 3579 (16%)
Pots won at showdown - 84 of 140 (60%)
Pots won without showdown - 332

PS - 24,497 FPP away from Supernova..I can feel it now.

So I decided to stop screwing around on the microstakes and start playing my best in some tougher games (NL50).

Today went way better than I could have ever expected. At the beginning of the day I dropped 4 buy-ins with some coolers and some careless mistakes, I then took a few minutes off to regroup and opened the tables back up.

After restarting my session I started running great and playing my best. Before I knew it, I had won 12 buy-ins on NL50, one of the best days I've had in the last 3 weeks. I started making a few careless mistakes at the end of the session so I called it quits after dropping a couple pots I could have avoided.

Here are my stats from todays session on NL50;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3589 hands and saw flop:
- 235 out of 481 times while in big blind (48%)
- 153 out of 484 times while in small blind (31%)
- 384 out of 2624 times in other positions (14%)
- a total of 772 out of 3589 (21%)
Pots won at showdown - 93 of 174 (53%)
Pots won without showdown - 481

I'm gonna get stoned as hell n watch some high stakes poker for the next couple hours. I'll post some good hand analysis soon!

I still need to make over 4,000 FPP tomorrow to maintain platinumstar, so look for a ton of hands from me~

Today started off really slow on NL25, and went down -3BI due to variance, losing with cowboys vs jacks n so on for stacks..after a while I heated up and made back what I lost. During the session all I could think about was moving up and getting into some real games, so after I went up a couple BI's on NL25 I moved up to NL50 to see how I'd fair.

It's been over a month since I've played on these stakes, but I felt more comfortable than ever. My game is perfect for the NL50 dynamic and I definately get paid alot more there. I'm going to play NL10 & NL25 mostly, as I only have 20 buy-ins for NL50 which takes away from the comfort level. I'm definately going to take shots at the end of winning sessions on NL50 though, and hopefully be full-time there soon.

Heres todays stats;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 2887 hands and saw flop:
- 225 out of 400 times while in big blind (56%)
- 126 out of 390 times while in small blind (32%)
- 363 out of 2097 times in other positions (17%)
- a total of 714 out of 2887 (24%)
Pots won at showdown - 92 of 160 (57%)
Pots won without showdown - 354

I'm going to go over a few key hands then go play some starcraft and relax, I'm only going to post large pots for now on, the smaller ones are pretty much never worth posting.

vs ekfrl - Open my AQ in MP behind the UTG limper, pretty standard. I was cont betting 3.5 into pretty much every pot I played, whether I was shutting down on the turn or continuing was up to what I had and my opponents holdings. He bought into my flop bet, and well... I just couldn't see him playing a set like this. Stacks went in and I took down a nice pot.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220624

vs redfall - I really don't know what this guy was thinking. Pretty obvious on the flop he has nothing, just flat and let him hang himself.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220622

vs FrankieF4F - Frankie had beaten me in 3 consecutive pots we had played together. I'm pretty sure he thought I was reraising him light out of frustration. I got a nice flop & stacks went in.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220615

vs Trigger1985 - Unfortunately I just lost a big pot on this table taking my stack from 80~35. Didn't reload, shit! Flopped a dream flop from the bb and semi-trapped trigger. My line screams set, can't believe he couldn't let it go. Oh well, guess he thought I was tilting from the pot before.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220608

vs Sir Poko - This was definately my worst spew of the day. I don't know what the heck I was thinking, but the only hands I beat is KT/KJ. Psh...I'm going to do my best to never spew like this again.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220606

vs Flugihempi - Man this guy sucks. He beat me in a 70/30 flip and a 54/46 flip...what a dick.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220605
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220600

vs JamesMax - Opened my QQ in MP and got a couple callers, along with an optimal flop. A couple open enders with a top pair lower than my QQ. I put out an overpriced bet for draws to draw to, and picked up a caller. At this point I'm putting him on a jack or something like QKs. I make him pay and he does just that.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220603

vs Steev1988 - sb vs bb - I didn't think he would be reraising me this light with my raising out of the sb behind a limper in MP. But oh well I was mistaken. I repopped and got value PF, but was scared to bet down since AK shrivels up on a 3across face card board. Was check calling just about any bet though.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220602

vs Super020 - Not really sure what this guy was thinking. I put him on a strong draw, maybe a completed flush. At this point vs his stack after the bets were made I wasn't going to fold so I just shipped it. Was happy he turned this hand over and not QK. I don't really like this play in the long run.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220599

vs Elbocanegra - OMG. OMG. OMG. WHAT THE FUCK. THIS SHIT?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220598

vs Pityu85 - Good opportunity to bluff this river and pick up the pot. Put the villian on something like 9T, QJ or something like that. The river was perfect.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220594

vs Pokerpimus - This hand was nice, was pretty sold he was on a weak king til river. I think if he is on a king on this river a good C/R AI might be a strong play, what do you guys think?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/220591

Well thats all I'm going to post today,
I'm going to have to make like 5k FPP in the next couple days if I want to maintain my platinumstar into the next month. Took a long time off this month and spent so much time on microstakes...kinda hurt me. Think I'm gonna enjoy a nice pipe & some starcraft for now. Worry about that later.

GL to all of LP,
