Chronicles of a Fish

I played some more live 50NL with some college friends last night. I was continuing my usual domination of them (pretty fishy) when i had KJs and the flop came AKJ rainbow. I overbet the pot and get a call. Turn comes rag and i overbet again and my extremely fishy and bluff-tastic friend comes over the top allin, so i call. He turns over TT and i look happy. He gets up sad and about to leave, and I say, "wait, you take this with a Q on the river."

Sure enough that whore shows her smiling face and he takes all my winnings for the night so far, and i end up breaking even.

Definitely not complaining because these games are easily and profitable, and it was pretty funny when he jumped up screaming and yelling and like kicked over a chair when he hit his queen.

Also, im up 2 more buyins on 10NL and feeling good about 6-tabling it. Ill probably move to 25NL at $600 or $700.

GL at the tables all!

I had my first good session at 10NL today. I only played for about 45 min 6-tabling 6max and Im up a little over two buyins. CR videos are really paying off, and its nice to see some results.

Only had 2 tough hands that session...ran into AA with KK and ran into a set when i flopped aces and kings.

I finally watched Rounders today for the first time too. I thought it was pretty cool. Im gonna take a few hours off for now to enjoy my marginal success and to study some CR videos.

I played a nice 4 or 5 hour game of 50NL last night with some college buddies.

4th hand of the night i flop a set of 10s and stack a guy. It was glorious.

Overall it was a pretty soft game, but there was one guy that suprised me with his pretty good play. Apparently this game is gonna be a weekly thing, so it should be a nice addition to my online game.

Basically broke even today at 10NL because of my inability to lay down set vs flush, straight vs flush etc. Won some heads up sngs after watching some CR hu videos. I feel like the loose aggressive style CR teaches has been playing off and is a little more fun to play.

On a good note I stacked some ppl on flush over flush, sets, overpairs, but right now I just get a little too excited in big pots and dont think enough before I make decisions.

If I make the proper laydowns today would probably be a +5 buyin day in a very short session (1-1.5 hrs), but alas I fall in love with bad hands sometimes and make fishy calls.

Atleast Im not losing money

I can't decide one type of game to stay with. Sometimes I feel like playing sngs and Ill play them. At first I thought i was doing pretty well cashing in the majority of sngs i played, but then I had a session or two where I cashed in none...

I think the only way for me to make money consistently is cash games, but I get bored 12 table grinding pennies.

WHAT TO DO AHHHHHHHHHHH !?!?!?!

At the advice of Oxy (thanks a bunch) I started playing 5+50 SNGs instead of 10NL to build my bankroll so I can get to 50NL and start to play real poker. The nice thing about the non-turbo tournaments is you can play them much more like a cash game early to mid game it seems. Ended up $43 ahead, which I believe figures to 71% ROI, while 6-tabling. (11 games...2 1st($22.50/game),3 2nd($13.50/game), 2 third($9.00/game)) If you can play a decent cash game style early-mid game you can bust fish pretty easily. They will call with anything just about. Plus, the tournaments get me fpp faster than 10NL was, so Im that much closer to clearing the astounding $50 deposit bonus. In light of today's success I think I'll stick to these SNGs for a while and hopefully get rolled enough to play 50NL.

Yesterday I began my ascent to NL10 as a result of fantastic advice from the ever brilliant LP.net community. I'm doing fairly well at this limit so far and am making a ton more FPP than i was at the penny tables so ill clear my deposit bonus within a few days.

I feel like my fishy game has recently improved by lightyears after watching GP PITF and BigBalls FR and 6-max midstakes videos. Their explanations and practical application of position abuse, cbetting, inducing bluffs, and extracting value have taught me a lot and helped move my view away from ABC weaktight poker.

Hopefully ill continue to have success at NL10 and will move up to NL25 within some weeks (or months) when my BR will allow it.

Cheers LP.net So much information has been available here to help me improve my game and I hope to one day be good enough to give something back to the community.
