Okay so finally i started to run shitty as hell ...
I was doin extraordinary well at the 2,50+25 SNGS $
and so i started to play the 5,50+50$ SNGs today when my bankroll reached 130 $
played about 15 SNG 5+50 $
and managed to go up to like 170$
I felt like : YES i rock this so hard i finally make money out of poker.
but then a sick bad luck streak started
I lost 11 All in Hands where i dominated my villian.
Things like AQs vs KQo he hits a flush on the river ....
Just LOL.
It was basically the same scenario everytime.
I was chipleader some shortsack goes all in with like
A9 i call with AK and he hits a 9
one hand later i get 10/10 .... another shortstack pushes all in .. i call and get beaten by 10J casue he hits a jack.
then i am a shortstack myself -> get AJ push all in and get called by AA T_T
I was chipleader in most of the SNGS call a shortstack -> have the better hand and lose -> become a shortstack myself -> push in and get called by AA KK QQ ...
I just felt like quitting Poker cause it was so annoying that i wanted to destroy my Computer ...
But then i realized -> wait i am still up a good amount of money compared to when i started on Everest 5 days ago.
So i just took this day as a typical worst hand wins vs me day ...
And i ll try again tomorrow.
Okay so today i tried to play cashgame again.
I 5 tabled NL10 FTP 6 handed.
Was hell a fun but unfortunately i got some setups at the beginning ...
2xAA 3x KK lost 2x vs a set and 3tims vs 2 pair.
I was down -16$ after about 220 hands.
Lol i got super good preflop cards .... but whatever ...
then things became better and i made some good calls
furthermore got trips vs someones KK and a Full house > someone others full house myself and managed to go up to + 9$ in another 300 hands.
finally i made some bad plays and went down to -3$
But with my Last hand i called a smallstacks all in with 88
and so my final cahsgame sesseion results.
Playtime ---> 1 h 30 min. Hands568 VPIP 23 PFR17
Profit + 1,65$
Not too satisfied with the results but i was lots of fun
to play some cashgame again after a 1 week brake.
Then i continued to build up my SNG bankroll.
Time ---> 1h
SNG played ----> 5 x 2,50$+25
profit -> + 14,45 $
new SNG bankroll 98,33 $
I ran really hot at SNGs lately and i made a total of 15 buy ins in 17 SNG which is crazy
I know i wont sustain such a crazy winrate but still they seem so easy that i think my SNG bankroll will easily overpass my Cashgame bankroll till end of the month.
I think 5 buy ins / 10 SNGs is realistic considering i have an incredible edge over those players who are really
comparable to Party Poker Fixed Limit 5/10 cent players.
Today i played my first SNGS with my new small 60$ extra SNG bankroll on Everest.
Bad thing -> the software is really bad ... ( or just doesnt like my PC ...) so slow T_T + ugly + annoying dealer chat
Good thing -> the players are even worse than their software
played 12 SNG today + 23,88 $
new SNG BR 83,88 $
I cant remember the last time cashgame on NL10 when i got sucked out a lot but still managed to be up + 24 $ in only 2 h.
I was chipleader in 10 of the 12 SNGS after ~ 25 minutes
and only some real suckouts like AQ < KQ , AQ < A9 , QQ < A2
preventet me from getting ITM all 12 SNGS...
I know 12 SNGs is a way to small sample size to claim long term profit.
But whatever ^^
I feel good.
Didnt play any Cashgame today
so my FT bankroll is still 160$
So i am trying to rebuild my Poker bankroll after i lost most of my money at FullTilts sngs due to incredible sick bad luck combined with underrolled playing ( 12buy ins for SNG ) ...
this is what happend :
I became bored of cashgame going breakeven for about 1 month and so started to play SNGS again.
big mistake cause i lost allmost all my monez.
I decided that Full tilt Poker is not the best place for SNGS since the average skill level at low/midstake SNGS ( 6,50 $ turbo) is alot higher than at most other sites.
I am not that good at SNGS but however it is hell a fun to me and i just cant imagine not playing some small stake SNGS every now and then.
SO today i split my bankroll into a cashgame and a SNG bankroll.
60$ to Everest Poker for building up a SNG roll playing occasionally 2,50+25 $
I d bee satisfied with not making negative profit at all just having some fun.
But i am positive i ll build it up to 500$ till the end of the year.
And a 160$ BR at Full Tilt for NL10 cashgame 5 tabling.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Not so funny thing was a real life bad beat that happend to me Yesterday when i was at a super cool open air birthday Party.
Some idiots stole my wallet ...
I still dont know how this could happen without me noticing
the actual theft. ( okay i was totally drunk but >-<)
I dindt notice it for a long time since all drinks were for free.
When i made myself ready to leave the party 3am i noticed that i am actually missing my wallet ...
150 € ( 210 $ ) my driving license , all my keys, my identity card, my university pass .....
Wow that sucked so hard.
Fortunately i found a nice girl who allowed me to spend the night with her at her room .
Next day i got a phone call from my father that someone called him that his kids found a wallet with lots of important stuff with my adreess in it.
Jeha i got my wallet back.
But of course without the 150€ .....
luckily the thiefs dindt have any interest in my ID cards, Keys and other important stuff .. they just took the money.
I assume the thiefs were some kids/punks cause otherwise they d taken at least my money card ???
Okay so basically i lost all my remaining 50$ in SNG
and i ll take a break of pokering for 1 week now.
I lost a 11$ SNG I busted at # 4th
TT vs AQ
I lost another 11$ sng busting # 5th
KK vs A2 ( he hit a straight)
I got busted in some 1$ and 2$ SNGs
losing AJ to 97 on a AJ9 flop ( he hit trips on river)
then i finally managed to do halfway decent in a MTT
and reached the final table
I decided to make a video to see someone happy after i lost all the fucking other tournaments.
here is the video
I get KQ on a JQQ flop
since i need the chips i check to get more value out of my set.
The turn is an A which is not too bad.
SInce there was no preflop raise i am rather sure noone has AQ,JJ and therefore K10 is the only reasonable hand to beat me (QJ is very unlikley imo).. I go all in on the turn since i hope someone hit the A and thinks his 2 pair Aces and Queens are good enough to call.
My Poker career at NL 10 seems to not work out well
My main probelm is that i win a lot of small pots all the time
0.80 $ - 1,60 $ but i lose most of the big pots ...8-12 $
I don t get paid of with my monsters ...
I win alot of small Pots on the flop
And i lose almost all my big Pots .
I don t know if i ve just bad luck or if play it the wrong way.
i ve lossend up alot preflop in the past few days cause i realised that i never ever get paid off with my AA KK QQ hands when i play too tight preflop.
Furthermore people are willing to fold alot on the flop so my wide preflop range allows me to win all the small pots.
So now i opend up from ~ 16Vpip 12PFR to ~ 26 VPIP 20PFR.
Basically i go up 5 $ winning 8-10 small pots and then i lose a 12-16$ Pot .... i work my way back + 1/2 buyin by winning lots of small pots only to lose another big 16$ pot a few minutes later.
Anyone had a similar probelm ?
The pots i lose are mostly
2pair < straight
trips < flush
2pair < trips
Top pair good kicker < 2 pair.
It seems that if i have something good and get called on the flop
I am beat T_T
But when i have set,straight,flush or whatever everybody instantly folds ...
Same with Aces ,Queens and Kings.
f.e
I get Aces
AA
i raise preflop 4BB
get 2 callers
Flop Q2K
i bet 2/3 Pot both instantly fold
but if they call me i am alawys beaten by KQ or 222 set.
I was so frustrated with my poker results the the last days
that i stared to play some SNG again.
But i lost 1/2 of my small bankroll to incredible bad luck combined with tilting.
I have only about 50 $ left and i think i will donk them off
AT some SNGs just for fun. ( 50$ is about 36€ which is equal to 2 times partying at the weekend)
Then ill make a break
I plan start again at NL10 with a new 150$ Bankroll.
IN the near future.
Okay so i ll make a little update concerning recent happenings.
In my last blog entry i swore an oath dedicating my life to University, Sex and Poker.
So far i am not unhappy with how things developed.
Of course i failed the Anatomy test which was the main reason for my last blog entry.
Since then i attended every single course trying to give 100%
I was quite successful though i fell asleep from time to time
(My buddies were nice enough to punish me with sick penis paintings all over my face ^^)
But i iam sure i ve never taken University that serious before.
Besides that i am doing really good with girls lately.
I am totally over the story with my ex girlfriend and i date nice girls every weekend now
Id say i almost feel like a RL Baller and i enjoy it quite a lot
Poker has threatend me terribly though.
I am down - 40 $ at NL 10 FT the last 2000 hands ( 3 sesseions) and i got sucked out so often that i was thinking about not playing Poker for some time.
But i am still confident in my skills and i think its just matter of time till i have winning sessions again.
The frustrating thing is not the -40$ but the fact that i know i played well and had an edge ... but nevertheless lost money 3 sessions in a row.
I mean three "short"(700 hands)losing sessions in a row is probably nothing to really worry about.
A Positive thing is that i am quite happy with the rakback deal i have with LP and FT
I think in the long run rakeback will really pay off and no Party Poker Bonus is equally good to that.
( I was playing party Poker before i changed to FT)
Okay so i am gonna play some Poker now and hope for a good session.
After this i have a date with a nice girl
and finally i ll learn 2-3 hours of university stuff before i go to bed.
Okay so i have an important Test at University today.
I have learned basically not enough to be sure to not fail
But hey i guess thats just normal for all of us LP addicts
I have read some stuff about the Test roughly 3 hours yesterday evenening and i remember some stuff from my course so i have a chance
I will reread it again now. ( i have not enough time to really go deep ^^ but i will gallop trhough it to reassure i have at least a basic idea what the test will be about.)
So my situation right now is comparable to playing an SNG
Sitting UTG with a small pocket pair like 33 having only 8 BB left.
I go allin and hope for the best.
my chances are not that bad considering i am a slight favourite here most of the time unless the questions are really evil ( like KK QQ JJ or something)
On the otherhand i could easily be beat by any overcard
-_- ( means one fucking subject area that i dindt learn properly could kill me if there are a few questions about it)
SO i expect to have some luck and find a decent villian
who calls me with A2o.
I gotta gamble a bit but the odds are in my favour !
GL to me
(Last time i said that i got beaten by four of a kind T_T)
But this time i am gonna take the pot.
