I have decided to post this as a daily report to increase my day to day poker. I hope to be playing 1-2k+ hands a day, and by August 27th have a $400 bankroll. Right now I'm sitting at $235. I think I can do it, as I have just got really into poker again.

So today started off like shit. I put in maybe 1k hands on my laptop sitting in bed watching the olympics on TV. After about 5-600 hands I am up about $3 on NL5. I am dealt KK and raise from UTG. The button minraises to $0.75 after my raise to $0.40. So naturally, I raise to $2.30 and he calls. Flop comes 2 5 9 rainbow, and I think I'm good so I raise the pot value hoping to get it in, and he shoves and has me covered, I call, and he shows AA. Natural cooler, so whatever.

Next hand, I'm dealt KQs and run into AQs on Q 5 8 rainbow flop, he is a calling station and I end up losing $4 to him. I think I should have checked the river, as I was pretty sure he had AQ anyway, but I guess I was a little anxious to get more money from losing $10 the hand before. Oh well.

Then, at around 7-8 pm I log back into Pokerstars on my desktop and notice I have a bankroll of only $210 lost 2 buyins earlier T.T oh well, time to make it back. Ended the day to a bankroll of $235.

I emailed Pokerstars, and I'm waiting on my entire lifetime hand histories to put into my laptop's PokerTracker.

Tomorrow, I'll post hands that I am confused about, need thoughts on, and my biggest loses and see if I should have played them differently.

I'm hoping to hit $250 tomorrow and if I do I'll call it quits for the day, to get a headstart on NL10 on Tuesday.

I watched 2 tables of NL10 earlier today, and took notes on all of the players, and afterwards, I was able to literally say what each player had at any given hand, because of how detailed my notes were. I guess its because Microstakes players play 1 certain style. For example, one player I noted only minraises with KK and AA a raise, otherwise he will limp, and raise like $4 on flop or shove if someone raises, no matter the flop. I hope these notes will come in handy when I move up. I hope I do well.

Well, here is to a new beginning of my poker career. Let's see how it goes. See you tomorrow.

It's insane how soft NL5 is. But there's a reason I can't move up to NL10. I don't run like shit, everyone else runs like jesus himself. You think I'm kidding? Look at this shit...

I played 4k hands today, and i am down 2.5 buy ins. At times, I am up $30 cuz they suck, then instead of quitting, I want more, and then shit like this happens.

What
The
Fuck

I really need to blow off steam, prob. gonna go buy some food or sum shit and cook the fuck out of it, for the rest of the night (it's midnight now)

+ Show Spoiler +

What the fuck was he doing in that hand?

+ Show Spoiler +

Not once, but TWICE?!

+ Show Spoiler +

I swear there's no way to get away from that when ur semi-tilted.


In other news, I found out who will be my roommate for my freshman year at college. Turns out he parties a shit load, so I'm going to try to convince him to party as much as he can and get as drunk as possible, so he can drop out and i get the room to myself.

Tomorrow gonna grind the fuck outta NL2 to get my BR back AGAIN. For the 4th time so I can get coolered AGAIN. Ugh this roller coaster is pissing me off..

I have a VPIP at NL5 of 15.7 over like 10k hands.

What can I do to raise this to the standard of about 20?

My hand ranges are: all pocketpairs, suited connectors, and all combinations of A K Q J. Then on the button I'm raising suited gapers to hands when no one raised PF.

I'm still getting a nice ~15bb/100 so i dont think its that big of a deal, but when I move up, I can't have too nitty of stats or I won't be making monies T_T

edit: idk why there's 2 topics of this

And it was abandoned... Here are some pics.













I got yelled at my the security so I only got 1 picture of the inside. It's actually a federal crime and the minimum sentence is 1 year in jail, so I thought it would be ironic to be thrown in jail by being in a jail. Anyways, didn't get in any trouble just told to leave.

When you are having a doomswitch...
like...
1) losing top 2 pair all-in on the turn, losing to a 2 outer on the river by him catching a set.
2) losing top set all in on flop to catching turn/river one out for 4 of a kind
3) losing 4 of a kind to a straight flush caught on turn allin on flop
4) losing AA to 77 allin preflop, and him catching a 7
5) losing nut straight to nutflush on river
6) losing JJ on AJ4 flop to QQ by villian catching K10 on turn/river

You start to wonder if poker really is as skill involved as you thought. I thought I had an advantage in poker against my opponents, I thought I could win with a decent bb/100. I thought poker was not a pure gamble. I started to notice at NL5/NL10 villians shoving AQo UTG and folding when you make a normal sized raise 4xbb+1 with a premium hand PF. You wonder where has your edge gone?

My bankroll dropped from $275 down to $150.

So I quit for a few days, I quit playing for about a week after I lost 11 buyins. Of course not all of it was bad beats. I became tilted, I succumbed to open shoving PF with hands such as KQs, and then it hit me. What the fuck was I doing? I started to realize I could no longer play like this an think it was profitable. So I dropped back down to NL2 and I grinded for a little, I grinded for about 4 hours and ended up 4 buyins. I stopped playing 9 tables, and played 4 to re-evaluate my game and think about the hands I was playing and not playing roboitcally. This helped.

In the 4 hours I played today, I ran like shit. Not once did I get AA, KK or QQ. Instead, I got AQo, 44, QJo, and I just outplayed my opponents postflop. When they showed they were weak, I bet and they folded. When they showed they were strong, I check/folded. I did get into one risky spot with AJ on AK5 rainbow board, He had A10 though so I was lucky, but then again, why call with A10o from out of position against me?

Good luck everyone at the tables. There is an abandoned prison by my house, so I might go out later this week and take some pictures of it.

How do I get this? At PokerTracker3.com I get a $22 discount on PT3 cuz i bought PT2 6-12 months ago but I can't buy it cuz paypal is gay.

So does LP give the same discount? If so, how?

Sorry for a noob question

Also, we had 8 tornadoes in my area last night. My power went out for 24 hours. Sucks, but w/e. I got it now.
