Chronicles of a Fish

Took a decent amount off some frat donkeys tonight in a live 50NL game. One of them told me he played 200NL on stars with a $600 bankroll...wow

My new play for balancing poker/social life/school as well as controlling tilt is to play a session for a set amount of time every morning and no other time. This way if im making the correct poker decisions Ill profit in the long run, I wont be able to randomly tilt away money if Im having a tough session, and poker wont get in the way of my homework or my social scene. Hopefully this will go as planned. Session should be 1-1.5 hrs.

I had a good 1 hr session today..

I'm becoming impatient when I play and I'm going to take a preemptive break before I become a stupid tiltmonkey.

Oh a happier note I got my free pokertracker from clearing a bonus at FTP.

Summary: -1BI,+6BI,-3BI,+1.5BI

I ended up decent I guess. I usually try to quit after Im up like 4 or 5 BI but every time Im about to quit lee jones knows it and deals me all QQ KK AA on all my tables and I lose big pots with all of them so I feel like I need to make the money back.

When I was about to quit the first time i got dealt AA on three tables. I got it all in pf on 2 of them
1) vs 88, spikes and 8 on the turn
2) vs KQo, flop comes KKx
3) third got folded around to pf raise

Second time I got up a few buyins I get dealt 3 tables of KK and 1 of AA. Luckily I only lost with one hand of KK to a set of 10's.

Im progressing pretty steadily at 10NL ending up +3BI/session on average. Im about to put $200 onto FullTilt for rakeback, free pokertracker, and the deposit bonus. Hopefully I should clear all that fairly quickly.

After I clear on Full Tilt I'm going to move the majority of the money from there onto stars and move to 25NL with about $800 or so. Ill probably play 25NL until about $1,300 or $1,400. I feel like I can safely move to 50NL from there.

I was scouting the FullTilt 10NL and 25NL tables today just to see what the games there were like in comparison to stars, and I saw this funny little hand

Ive started playing a little more loose pf especially in position. I watched Daut's FR video again today and realized that I could loosen up a bit, and I liked the way he raised his pairs pf even utg. It worked out pretty well, and just about every time I made a set I stacked someone.

I ended up +3 BI bc I got drawn out on once or twice, but this style was a little more fun and kept me interested so I think ill stick with it for a while.

So a bunch of my idiot frat brothers wanted to get a weekly game going, and knowing how stupid and horrible at poker they are (mind you I only play 10NL and in comparison to even me theyre HORRIBLE) I gladly accepted.

I get there and ask what the stakes are and they say .25/.50. Naturally I pull out $50 to buy in and they are like "Whoa whoa $50 ? What?"

They go on to tell me that the "max buy-in" is $20 to "even the playing field" I calmly explain that 40BB is not a sufficient stack to be playing serious poker etc etc. They were all like "let it go" "drop it" blah blah, so I just left.

Correct me if I'm wrong but playing with a table full of shortstack idiot monkeys doesnt sound like good/fun poker.

I just finished up another good 10NL session.
It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I ended up +3BI after 1.5 hours. 10NL is so fishtastic. Im on pace to move to 25NL in about a month and a half I guess.

This is why I LOVE 10NL

10NL is going so well right now! I just finished a 45 min session up 2 buyins. These fish will call with anything and stacking ppl sets VS top pair is so easy.

I feel good. If I keep playing decent/running pretty well I should be ready to move to 25NL in about a month or a month and a half
