Once again I didn't play much today. Why this time? Cause I feel like shit. I can't get over this terrible cough and now I've got a bad headache as well. I felt kinda better in the morning so I played a short HU session which went pretty good. Here are the stats:



And some hand histories:

1. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228641
Not sure about this one. What do you think? Flop is one of the worst possible but we've been tangling a bit and I've been 3betting frequently. He wasn't getting too much out of line.

2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228648
lolz

3. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228650
I was planning on check/raising this flop. Should I rather bet out in these spots?

4. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228652
I knew he had nothing on the flop and I was planning on betting or raising turn. Too bad he hit his card. I was thinking about betting river again but I figured that he probably won't fold his ace.

5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228653
lolz ship it

6. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228654
EZ

7. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=228657
Floating OOP went pretty well. I do this thing ultra rarely. If he bet turn I'd check/raise. If he checked behind I was planning on firing most rivers.


That's it I guess. While reviewing my session I noticed that I lose a lot of medium-sized (15-30bb) pots. I'll try to work on it in the next few days.

Hopefully I'll feel better tommorow. I need to start pwning those nl200 6max donks again. Holla

So I finally managed to put in some hands today. I played just like 30 mins of HU nl100 on FTP and later on, in the evening like 1,5-2h of nl200 6max on Prima. It went pretty well and I ran good despite losing AA vs K4 allins preflop and trips vs runner runner str8 (guy had no pair no draw on flop). Here are my stats for the session (note river AF in HU session):



And finally some hand histories:

1. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=227913
I know I played it bad but I was kinda wondering what do you think about the best way to proceed on this flop. therock85 was 40/24/1.56 after 80 hands or so (no reads) and the other guy just joined a table an orbit ago but I think I already took like 2 pots from him on the flop. Do you raise the initial bettor? If you just call and get raised do you push over the top or just call? After his raise there is $123 in the pot and we need to put $43 so we're getting almost 3-1 but we beat other flush draws and a 6 or T will help us a lot of the time. Opinions appreciated.

2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=227915
I like how I played it. Villain was 40/24/1.6 after 100 hands or so. I didn't know a lot about his 3bet calling range but it was probably any pocket pair, some suited connectors and high Ax type of hands. An ace was actually a pretty good card for me. Since he bet I was like 90% positive that he didn't have an ace. It'd have to be AA, or AhXh and he most likely folds preflop when X
The rest was pretty standard so no need to post it.

As for non-poker stuff I am a bit ill. I've got a terrible cough (connected with my allergy to trees and grass) and I almost can't sleep during night because of it. Plus my throat really hurts while coughing. I'm taking like 5 different medicines prescribed by doctor and it doesn't help at all. Hopefully I'll get over it soon. I also decided to stop smoking until it gets better. I was also considering giving up smoking but it'd be harder than winning wsop main event. Can you imagine anything better, after having a delicious meal, than:



?

I can't.

I love this cartoon. Too bad there aren't going to by any more episodes. It was made by the same guys that make south park.

http://www.spschat.com/Shocked/ep01.swf

http://www.spschat.com/Shocked/ep02.swf

And some history behind the cartoon:

"This is a one of a kind flash. From the creators of Southpark (Matt Stone and Trey Parker) these two were contracted to do a series of 64 episodes of a flash cartoon for Shockwave.com. The two agreed, as long as "anything goes". Once Shockwave saw the first two episodes, they canceled the contract."

Friday was sooo awesome cause as I said like 10 times already, there was a re-opening party at my favorite club in my hometown. A few friends of mine popped in before going out and we bought some whisky to drink before leaving. Since it was kinda late we had to dirnk fast and by the time we left I already felt tipsy. We took a taxi and headed to the club. I was kinda worried cause the last time I went there (2-3 months ago) I got ultra drunk and got kicked out. Luckily the bouncer didn't remember that accident and we had no problems with getting in. And what a suprise - the entry was free till 11pm. Ship it.

The decor was pretty good. It was kinda similar to how it looked in the old location but everything seemed to be more fresh. Also the bar is much better now. The only drawback is that the ceiling is kinda low and it's quite hot because of that. And I guess it lost a bit of its spirit.

Just when we got in, some other friends of mine called me and said that they didn't get in. Basically the bouncers are kinda strange and they often don't let people in randomly. Even when you are dressed properly and in the legal age. In Poland it's 18 but in this club they sometimes say that you need to be 21 to get in but they rarely card anyone. It's kinda strange cause when me and my friends were under 18, we had no problems with getting in and stuff. And now when we're all around 20, it gets even tougher to get in, lolz.

Later on some other friends of mine came and we started having loads of drinks. I was ordering vodkas redbull, jack daniels with coke and beers. Once again I spent too much even though a friend of mine bought me like 2-3 drinks cause he owed me. One of my mates started dancing with some girl so obv I made a bet with my other mate. He said that she wouldn't let him kiss her and I said that they will do it obv. Loser was buying a drink for the winner. I told my friend about this bet so he was trying harder and harderd but the girl showed some resistance. So he just told her about my bet and she agreed. Ship it.

We left the club about just before 6am I think and went to some kebab place. Somehow I wasn't hungry and didn't eat at all (!!!). Then we started walking towards my place and took a bus and I was at home around 7:30 am. People were already going to work or doing some Saturday shopping and stuff and I was still drunk, coming back from a party.

I woke up about 2pm and I still felt kinda drunk. My mate came and we had a lunch. Then we went to the city centre as our friends were taking part in PES6 tournament on PS2. They finished 3rd and 4th so it was pretty good.

In the evening my other mate came and we had some beers and whisky. Around 2am we were starving and since I had nothing in my fridge, we decided to take a taxi and go to get some kebabs. We came back, had some more beers and I went to bed around 6am.

Today I woke up around 1pm, watched some TV, cleaned everything up and now it's already 6:30pm here so I wasted another day lol. Tommorow a new week is going to start so hopefully I'll be able to make some changes. I finally need to start playing lolz. 3k hands in 8 days ain't good. Also, I can't wait till the next weekend. Holla

Just realized that my bankroll passed the 10k mark. I guess it's sort of a milestone. Next one - 100k.

Tonight I'm going to a re-opening of my favorite club so it's gonna be soooo awesome. This is me most likely by the end of the night:

..but still, I love it. The swings are crazy but the game is soooo fun. Even when you get pwned like a bitch and drop 5 buyins in such a short time. Here's the graph for my today evening session (2tabling nl100 HU):



I started out by getting outdrawn and coolered like crazy but then I used my image and reads to pwn dem hoez and take my monies back. Oh and rake is the bitch.

Besides that I haven't played almost any poker in July Only 2 short session on nl200 6max. In first one I lost like $500 and in the second one I won $600.

This weekend is going to be a blast but then, from Monday on, I'm going to focus a bit more on poker. Or at least I hope so.

Oh and I'm on a diet again. I haven't eaten any fast foods since yesterday. So I'll probably end up dreaming about this for the whole night:

So June has just ended. It was a pretty good month for me (my best ever in terms of poker I guess?) even though I haven't played much. But the most important thing is that I finally managed to move successfully move up to nl200. I'm doing pretty well there so far and I feel like I've got a big edge in this game. I started to play some HU as well (nl100 though cause swings are crazy) and I won a bit.

The reason why I haven't put more hands is cause I had a lot of stuff to do. I came back to Poland on 3rd of June, then I had to meet up with all my friends and family. Then I went to Krakow and to my grandparents. Also I've been partying a lot, going out like at least twice a week so I've got pretty good excuses. But it was a great month - especially in social terms.

Is July going to be different? Dunno, probably not cause I still have so many plans for this summer. I might play 20k hands again but who knows - maybe I'll somehow manage to put like 40-50k. We'll see but I don't want to rush anything. I'm having good time back in Poland and at this point poker is not in the first place.

My bankroll went up to over 9k so I feel pretty confident at nl200. I'm going to play this level for the whole month, with an occasional jump to nl100 HU. I might start taking shots at nl400 when my bankroll gets to 12-14k but first I want to be sure I can easily beat nl200 etc etc.

Anyway here are my stats and graph for June:





Apart from that I get like a 45-50% rakeback (not sure how much is it actually cause I've got like 30% guaranteed and the rest is counted based on number of raked hands and it differs a bit every month.



Speaking of the non-poker stuff I had a great weekend. On Friday I went out with my friends and just as I predicted in my last blog entry - I got really pissed and spent too much. At the beginning everything was ok but when I started getting vodkas with redbull I simply couldn't stop. About 4am I took a taxi with my friend and I left my phone in the car. My friend tried to call my number and luckily the driver picked up the phone and was cool enough to bring it back for 20 zlotys. Variance.

Next day I went to my friend's house and I came back.. like 2 hours ago? On Saturday we had quite a few beers and a pizza. On Sunday morning we had a pizza again and then a huge barbecue. In the evening we drank like 2 litres of whisky between 3 of us and I went to bed around 6am. Woke up at noon and obviously my friend ordered some pizzas again. Oh well, I guess this is where my diet ends. Oh and I forgot that I also went to KFC today.. But come on - I survived almost a WEEK!

Now I'm sitting in my room, exhausted, thirsty and I have no idea what to do. I don't think playing poker is a good idea. I guess I'll just make sth to eat (hot dogs? hamburgers?) and watch some tv series. I started watching Nip/Tuck and I must say I really like it.

ZOMG I just realised that I forgot about a new episode of Entourage!!! I'm just about to start downloading it so ship it! Definitely no poker tonight.

Plans for the week? Quite a few:

- 4 of my good friends are going to Spain for the whole summer this Friday so tommorow we're going out for the last time before they leave. The only beat is that this club doesn't have air-conditioning and there are always so many people out there that after an hour you feel like you jumped into the swimming-pool with all your clothes put on.

- When I went out last Friday and I was already drunk I promised my friend to go with him on Thursday to this strip-club. Should be fun. I just can't bring too much cash cause I'll obviously spend everything.

- What's on Friday? They're re-opening my favorite club in Szczecin. Sweet! They had to move it and finally they finished everything and the big opening is this Friday. It's gonna be sooooo awesome. I really can't wait.

- My brother is going for a camp this Thursday and my mum will probably go to the lakeside (is there such a word?) for the whole weekend so I think I'll have some friends of mine to come over on Saturday.



Looks like I won't have much time for poker but whatever. And this post is probably already the longest I've ever written so time to finish it. Holla

So today in the morning I had spare 50 minutes so I decided to open two nl100 HU tables. The session was pretty sick and I won like 7 buyins in 350 hands or so (most of it from one guy who I played 2 tables against). I made some good plays and good calls and ran good too obviously. Then in the evening I played for like 2 more hours and had 2 ultra donks on both of my tables but ran terribly and dropped a lot due to constant 2-5 outers or setups. But I managed to win everything back and even finish the evening session being up over a buyin. Here's the graph for today (nl100 HU only):



I also played some nl200 6max for the past 3 days. On Wednesday I ran very hot at the beginning of the session, got some coolers and beats in the end but still won like 4 buyins. Yesterday I dropped like 3 buyins pretty quickly but managed to win back a bit and finished down only $300. Here are my stats:




I finally loosened up a bit and I'm not the biggest nit at my stakes anymore which is good. I feel very comfortable playing nl200 now (both in terms of money and skills) and my bankroll is now at 9,1k or so (plus I'm gonna get some rakeback on 5th July). I'm not even thinking about nl400 now. I want to get a healthy bankroll (14k at least I think) and get more experience at nl200. I think I'll spend at least the whole July at nl200 but we'll see how it goes. I'm also gonna try to play HU a bit more regularly.

I'd post hand histories from my HU session as quite a few of them are interesting but I don't have much time left. Today it's my name day (don't think people in other countries celebrate it) so I'm going out with my friends. Most of them also got their final exams results today (two of my best friends got into the medical school) so there are plenty of reasons to celebrate. I'm afraid I'll get totally pissed and spend too much money but whatever. Holla

Soo.. I haven't been posting for a long time once again. I just don't have much time to do poker-related stuff so I try to play whenever I can and this is why I don't update my blog frequently. But hopefully it will change from now on as I've already met up with everyone after coming back to Poland so I have some more time for myself.

So as I said in my previous post I went to Krakow with my friends and it was awesome. I really liked the city and we had a great time. I spent too much money obviously but I figured that this is what money is for - to have fun. So fuck it - I don't care if I'll have to grind nl200 for a longer time. I just want to have a great summer and so far it's been going my way. Poker/moving up in stakes can always wait so I'm not gonna be a "withdrawal nit" anymore.

From Krakow I went to visit my grandparents for a few days. I thought I'm gonna be bored as hell but.. somehow I found an unprotected wireless network. It was really slow but I could play 2 tables. So I decided to play some nl100 HU. The variance in HU is really sick (see graph below).

I came back to Szczecin on Friday morning after spending 11hrs on a train where I couldn't fall asleep until 3 am (I arrived in Szczecin at 6am) because two olds pricks were snoring like crazy. In the evening my mum decided to go with my brother to the seaside for a weekend. So I obviously called 2-3 of my friends to have some drinks at my place. I don't know why but somehow it turned out that there were like 15 people in my flat. Anyway we got really pissed obviously. When I woke up at 11am I was still drunk and walking seemed to be a really difficult thingy.

On Saturday evening I called two other friends of mine and we had some beers at my place. One of my mates passed out around 3-4am but I was still drinking with my other friends. Now here's an inside story. My brother's hamster ran away from his cage like 2 months ago and we couldn't catch him and since them he lives in the kitchen behind the cooker and cupboards. We see him from time to time but he's always faster. So when I went to the kitchen to pick up sth to drink I saw this hamster and told my friend about it. Dunno why but he was like "omg we need to catch it, cmon". So we spent like 1,5h trying to catch this little bastard by dragging all the cupboards into the middle of the kitchen etc. Finally I managed to pwn the hamster and win this epic battle. But he definitely is a tough guy.



So I went to bed about 7:30 am and my friend woke me up around 12ish. We had sth to eat and spend a few hrs in front of TV just watching some boring stuff. By the way on one music channel there was a thingy where you could send a text from your cell with your name and the name of the person you'd like to score. So obviously my text looked like that: "Pawel Jessica (Alba)". I wasn't shocked at all when I got a reply that we're meant to be together and she can't wait to fuck me. Ship it (or her).



Ok let's get back to poker now. So since my last post (10th June) I've played like 5k hands of nl100 HU and 7k hands of nl200 6max. Very little but I also didn't have much time. HU was quite swingy but I feel very good about my 6max game now. I feel like I improved a lot since the beginning of May. But I need to start studying my game again, analyzing hand histories after every session, watching CR vids and posting on/reading forums. I think I write this shit in every post but whatever. Maybe I'll finally start doing it on a regular basis.

Anyway here is my graph since 10th June:



Now it's 3:15am and time to go to bet and play some poker in the morning, when each table has 4 regulars and one semi-fish with 30bb stack. But those regulars are pretty bad so I can easily pwn them anyway. I also want to play some live cash games tommorow if I get my transfer from Neteller to my bank account by the time they start.

Also I am going on a diet. I mean I'm going to limit the amount of fast foods I eat cause I'm gaining weight like crazy and my belly is growing. Having a pizza for lunch and KFC for a dinner ain't healthy and I do it almost every day. I should start doing some sports too but no ideas so far. And I hate going to the gym Any suggestions?

On Tuesday I'm going to my friend's flat party, then on Friday it's my "name day" so I'll definitely go out. Then on Saturday and Sunday my mate is organising like a two days long party at his house. So yeah, this week is going to be tough - both health- and money-wise. But I don't mind at all, I'm having great holidays so far and I hope it'll even get better. I've got loads of plans so I'm definitely not going to be bored.

Enough for now, I think it's my longest post ever anyway.

So I finally started playing a big. Had some small sessions, a bit in the green, a bit in the red so generally breakeven. Yesterday I got back home and it was like midnight and even though I was a bit tired, I felt like playing. The session started off pretty bad (beats and coolers) and I dropped like 4 buyins in 400 hands. I'm trying not to be a whinny bitch so I'm not gonna post them. At that point I was tired as fuck and my eyes were closing themselves but tables were soooo juicy that it would be the most stupid thing in my life to finish right there. Plus I really wanted to get back into the green. Wasn't easy but finally I managed to. Here's my graph for yesterday evening session:



I also won my biggest pot ever yesterday which felt pretty good. I was soooo afraid that he'd show up with aces.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/209830

And some random calldown. It's HU cause the table just brok a few mins ago.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/209832


I just woke up like 20 mins ago and I feel like crap. I'm allergic to all kinds of trees, grass and this is the worst time during the year for me. I'm sneezing all the time, I've got a bad cough, runny nose, itching eyes. And now a shitty headache. I hate this shit. I take like 18331638 different medicines but the don't seem to be helping. Plus I somehow woke up after like 3.5hrs of sleep - at 8am, cause I thought it was already fuckin midday or sth. Meh, I hate Modays. Even though I've got nothing to do.

Ok time to take a shower, eat a breakfast and maybe play some poker. I need to put some more hands since I almost haven't played at all in the last 2-3 weeks.

In the evening I'll probably go to play live a bit. I don't really play to win money there, even though the stakes aren't meaningless for me. I really enjoy playing like a retarted lagtard and live is the good place to do it. Raising and playing pots in dark is sooo fun. I gamble on every occassion but at least it's not as boring as grinding with 15 hands per hour on a damn fullring.

On Tuesday, in the evening I'm going to Krakow with my friends. We've got a friend over there and we're going to hang out and go out a bit. We're staying there for 2 nights I think. Then, I'm probably going to visit my grandparents, cause they live pretty close to Krakow and I haven't seen them for quite a while. I expect to come back around Tuesday next week. Not much poker again ;/ But maybe I'll finally manage to watch some CR vids that I have missed and read the rest of Sklansky's NLHTAP.

That's it for now. Holla
