i was thinking about this for a long time
now i have proof

yesterdays funny hand in a 30 players MTT





2.40$ MTT 30 players
5 left iam allready ITM
I am going for the chiplead with AA and 2x A8 callers
-> 14 K chips

yeha
no i bust !

rofl

Okay dont take this too serious

but i have made obersravtions over quite a large sample size for a few month now.
And having the far better hand preflop in a micro stakes SNG means shit.

I can only advice new players to play cashgame.

ps : this is not thought for serious arguments !
so plz dont post stuff like

too small sample size
SNGs are not rigged

and other stupid stuff.

advices like : raise more preflop are welcome though

Just had a small 1h NL20 session ( university and stuff prevented me from playing more)

16BB/100 in 400 hands.
+ 27 $

I did some bad play in the end that prevented me from my usual
20 BB/100 on NL20 ( that ofc is when not getting sucked out like last 2 days ;P)

brag :
cashed in 150$ on Ipoker 21 days ago
BR now 508 $
brag : 21 winning days in a row ( Nl 10 / Nl 20 SNGs)
beat -> only played 8600 hands cashgame 6 MTTs 2SNgs and 28HU SNG these 21 days...

lol i was just too busy with sports and stuff >_<

ALso have another 230$ at Partypoker that i will cash to Ipoker soon
SO overall BR = 738 $
i expect to take shots at NL50 in about 2 weeks when things continue to go well.
If the NL50 shot goes bad i will stay a month at NL20 and will try to hardcore grind it out with 30K+ hands for at least 12bb/100.

And special thanks to Fayth.
I was to quit poker after my brutal party downswing
His "never give up" attitude in the forums here kept me going

As u see i run pretty good and then did some bad tilt play !
luckily there are so many bad players all over the place
that i still ended green




Also special thanks to
Question

Hope you didnt get too annoyed by my talking
i was kinda in a bad mood since all the bad beats.

Enjoyed playing with a LP fellow though !
and it was nice that we both sat with 50$ at a Nl20 table.
LP fighting <3

played a big session today since i didnt play much poker this week.

Started absolutely horrible !
i got sucked out and coolerd like there is no tomorrow the first 300 hands and was down 80 $

mainly same scenario

I get KK AA or QQ and 3 bet preflop
get a call from shit like 67 or 44

and villian flops the nutz ... i pay off with a full stack
happend 4 times the first 200 hands.
i posted some of it in the hand section.

then there was some wired 3 handed game.
where i run into KK vs QQ vs KJ ... lol



I love Girls !

Yeha overall the session was very shitty
Lots of bad beats , coolers and some bad play of me when i started to lose focus.

but i kept going forcing myself to concentrate and trusting my postflop skill edge will
pay of in the long run.



Well i am not happy but at least
i am not too sad about this

I also got my first rakeback today
~ 17 $

so all in all i had a 24$ + day despite all the ugly stuff that happend.

Overall + since i started at NoIQpoker 18 days ago
(Nl10 + SNG + Nl20 + rakeback)

+ 320 $

Today was a day like many of the old days before i got involved with online poker.

I woke up at 10am (no university today)
watched some TV while eating breakfast.

then i called the Girl ( the one i talked about in earlier blogposts) If she would like to go with me to "palm beach"

http://www.kristall-palm-beach.de/bilder.php

Its the biggest indoor and outdoor water park thingy ( dont know the english word for it... dont even know the german word for it lol ) in my area

I mean there are different swimming pools with different themes indoor + outdoor, 2 restraurants , big waterslides , big sauna area , lightshow and music area,fitness area,Solarium area and all sort of stuff.
there are also kinda different events every now and then.

Well i guess u get what i mean ?

Its to have some fun , lots of entertainment and lots of water
Unfortunately its so overcrowded that u can hardly move there ^^

I felt like i have to go there since my life felt kinda too much like a job routine in the past few weeks/months.

normally everything i do in life i do for a specific reason and i have a specific intention for doing it.
Today i wanted it to be different.

I called a girl which i havent seen sober yet and asked her to go to a totally overcrowded place with me.

It was a nice day full of amusing senseless stuff.

First of all we both agreed to just drive some random road
that might lead to where the palm beach is.
We could have easily looked the right way up in the internet or use some ordinary plan ...

but this was just not what i wanted for today.
We knew Palm beach was West of us so we just drove westwards without knowing which streets,roads etc we should take
I was happy she seemed not angry but amused that i drove random roads without knowing the way doing this on purpose
( haha i guess she thought i am kinda creative and take her out on a hidden date or so ... LOL ^^)
every 20 minutes or so we had a short look on the map to see if we have to drive west/ north,east or whatever
everytime there was a chance to drive left or right we just made a flippament.
but we never looked up how whe could safely reach our "goal"

Was lots of fun and as incredible as it seems we somehow managed to arrive at palm beach after 1,5 h ( normal way would be 35 minutes )

well i almost thought about giving up our game and taking a serious look at the map .. but then palm beach appeard ^^
I must have made some right descisions concering our way without being aware of it.
lol.

So we finally got there and had to pay 13 euros for 4h
or 16 euros for a whole day.
so we paid 13 euros for 4 hours and ofc stayed the whole day which costed us another 5 euros haha lol

I guess there were close to 8.000-10.000 people in Palm beach when we arrived and u couldnt really do anything there since it were just way to many people.

So we got into a pool and stood there for hours talking about random stuff
( normally you can swim or sit in the pools but since there were so many people you couldn't)

It was kinda odd but also interesting to talk to a person you intend to abuse as personal whore when drunk about stuff you are not interested concering the content.
( cant explain what i mean with this but probably some "meta" shit)

yeha when we had talked enough i bought a pack of Zigarettes... ( i normaly dont smoke )
I know that she doesnt like cigarettes and that after the talking we both felt like we should start to kiss each other and stuff. But just when the momment seemed comming i lightend a cigarette.

lol.

then i drove her home gave ger a hugh and said that i enjoyed the day ( which i really did

I sat down to my computer and played 3 sngs.
busted in all 3 with the better hand ...

and now wrote this way too long article
which probably noone will read

This is an artwork for those who understand

SO I almost made this month back into green after
- 450 $ ( 18 buy ins NL25) start at the beginnig.
played kinda tight though
normally i am more like 24/19 but everyone at my tables was like 40/22
and so i tightend up a bit.

I think its pretty interesting how someones point of view concerning Poker changes with experience

Well first u start with Poker as a total newb and think its all skill ( Like Starcraft, Chess , or basketball)
then u have your first little downswings and start to think Poker is all luck ...

you either quit there or go on playing simply by seeing others making insane money out of it. ( LPers mostly ^^)


then u make all the money you lost back and add some more
-> now you think poker is skill + luck but skill is far more important and you will make money no matter how bad you run just by outplaying opponents

Then u hit your first really big downswing that just seems to not end and you start to think :

Blah
luck is far more important in Poker than skill.
you cant win , no matter how skilled you are when u get unlucky. the ammount of skill involved is marginal compared to the amount of luck involved

After the months pass you realize that its probably a combination of both in a strange kind of relationship.

the longer you play and the better u get u realize there is so much skill involved in Poker , yet luck factor is easily able to destroy all your skill no matter how big your edge is.

Its somehow an odd concept that a player 20 times better than another player could lose to him a good amount of hands. So if he could lose , then how can it be possible that he is 20x times better ?
well looking at the skill involved in Poker it clearly is possible that someone reaches about 20 times the skill of another player.

Dont know if you get what i am trying to say.
It seems kinda impossible to the human mind that a game in which luck is such a big part involves so much skill ( yet it does)
And it also seems kinda impossible that a game with so much skill involved can be completely destroyed by luck over a decent sample size ( yet thats exaclty what happens every now and then )

THis is not a complain or anything this is just what i have been thinking lately.
Poker is strange


Finally i have a Hand for lachlan_fearn about what i meant with position abuse.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=306238

And the nice comment by the person i abused.
with some unimportant trash talk to tilt him a bit ^^

speedhart: stupid pair raiser
PplusAD: lol what is stupid in 3 betting PP blind vs blind ?
PplusAD: PP = better then AK
PplusAD: and u would 3 bet AK ? right
speedhart: ur great fish
speedhart: lol

some hands later almost same scenario
and he again has to fold

speedhart: lucker
speedhart: only pairs to raise

well he probably has a note on me now
" big fish "

And special thanks to all the LP guys
who motivate the lowtakes grinders to keep going after a downswing !

love u

My shot at NL 20 works out well so far.
players are horrible and i have a decent edge + run okay !

I still cant win at SNGs though.
I have negative roi at the 2 $ heads up SNG
board completely owns me everytime.

Good thing is the money i lose at 2$ sng is nothing compared to what i win at Nl 20 ...

Still kinda annoying that i cant beat the dealer ...
I dondt know why i still play them ...
guess its just that i cant deal with losing at 2$ sngs ...

but i have to stop !
down like 15 $ after 20 or so of those ...
bad beat after bad beat ... and it doesnt stop

GL ALL

EDIT :

I own 2 $ MTTs however


3 table 2$ SNG
2 played finished 1st both

last 10 days was + 150 $
which is kinda okay considering i played very few hands.

only 5,5 K cashgame , 2 MTT and 20 HU sng.

Since i destroy everyone at NL 10 left and right ...
i hardly feel anything but boredom playing Nl10
after almost a year of Poker ....
I mean i still suck at Poker after 1 year of practice ^^ ( i have no talent at card games)
but NL 10 is nothing than a joke for someone who spend time Pokering this long.

I was playing PartyPoker NL25 with a 750 $ roll at the beginnig of the month getting ready to take shots at NL50 in the middle of the month.
Well then i hit an incredible downswing.
( well you people may think i have seen nothing yet ...)
but I couldnt play a single hand without getting crushed.
down 3 buy ins after the first 40 hands was standart ..
I just got setup after setup and it just didnt end.
lost ~ 18 buy ins ...
and decided to take a break from Poker and especially partypoker.

took a 2 week break
then

deposited 150 $ on NoIQpoker last week
made it up to 220 $ in 5 K hands.

I moved up to NL 20 giving it a short shot with 11 Buy ins 3 tabling after i returned from my MMA training today.
run pretty medicore and got 2 really annyoing bad beats and 2 setups.
ended up 10,50 $ tough in 400 hands. ( 7 BB/100)

could have been more + $ , but i decided to not make difficult descisions directly after a grueling 2 h of MMA training ...

fe :

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=305071

He showed J9

I was thinking about a Push.
but then i thought id just play safe when i am tired.

I have also a question concerning this hand
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=305072

opponent was pretty lose and could have had anything ..

I think i played it good but i am not so sure about the turnbet.
River is okay ? since when i bet out bigger only hand that calls me is a flush or maybe a set.
when i bet out less he can bluff the flush and i lose Value if he had like 76.

Yesterday a friend of mine had his 21th birthday

The "fat ass" girl was there also.
I was surprised that she did look alot better than when i saw her last time ( 4 weeks ago)
She lost some weight and had a pretty decent body.
Her hair color turned from red to blonde which i liked.
Damn she became so beautiful after a few beers !

I started to touch her and kiss her and shit and lol
i was so drunk that i felt like she was the most beautiful creature to ever walk the earth.

Yes Alcohol turns average looking girls into beautiful and it turns decent looking girls into Miss Universe !

I had a lot of fun and i really enjoyed her warmth ^^
I know that Alcohol was the main reason to make it a perfect evening. I felt like fucking a supermodel


Pokerwise :

I am up 6 1/2 buy ins on NL 10 this for the week.
