classical music!!

collegesucks, Mar 14 2008

April 3rd:

my puny city is hosting one of the most celebrated pianists in the world o_O !!

So i insta shipped 70 bucks for a back row seat =D

Yundi Li, La Campanella:

He's AWESOME OMGGGGGG

Concert Program:

Mozart, Overture to The Marriage of Figaro
Prokofiev, Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor (perhaps the toughest concerto for piano EVER)
Respighi, Pini di Roma
Ravel, Piano Concerto in G major

I was listening to the scores above and it made me wonder if listening to classical music while sessioning would be +EV. I think it might help you tilt less? idk.. gotta try =D

Pokerwise i'm not playing so hot. i'm experiencing your usual swingy shit/not playing enough hands/lurking around lp.net too much/etc. I grind up, and then proceed to dump a few 3betting/paying off nits and also paying off the nuts with the second nuts or something close to that

Some hands:

i was trying to calculate my equity vs the donk's face up Qx but my timebank had one second left so i just clicked call =x. maybe i was too optimistic about implied odds as i really didn't know how he would react to a flush card on the river. idk. i got lucky.
+ Show Spoiler +

spots like this are so hard to explain to myself in restrospect. now that i think about it, i wonder why it never occurred to me to think that he would have better made hand on the turn. i guess my feel at the time was that this player was wayy too aggro with draws for me to give him enough credit on the turn i guess. and going with that read on the turn i had to call river since that Jack changed absolutely nothing.
+ Show Spoiler +

this hand got me thinking a lot about how i tend to slowplay monsters that can potentially be overwhelmed. it's a habit that i really really need to correct. there really is no sense in checking turn as i'm betting with tons of worse hands in that spot, as well as for too many other reasons to count.

T__T nuff said
+ Show Spoiler +

speaking of slowplaying, i had this one hand vs. a multitabling postflop nit who opens a hugely wide range but shuts down immediately after his cbet. i called his raise from the CO with KQo in the small blind. flop came KQxhh, i check, he cbet, and i chose to simply call for some GOD-forsaken reason. the turn was a Jx and i checked again o__O... he fired a second bet for 30BB and at this point alarms are going off all over the fucking place. nevertheless, i flip the callstation/spewtard switch and call turn and call his huge 60BB bet on the river and /wrists when he flipped AT. I knew i was paying him off but i just wasn't playing with much sense at the time as the nit and i never really tangled before(he folded almost every hand that i 3bet vs. him)

god... that hand gave me nightmares. sometimes i just shut my brain off and spew spew spew in standard places. if i think during my sessions at least as much as i think when i post in the low stakes forum, i should be tons better off, imo

but i'm still hovering halfway toward my goal of moving up all this god damn month. i haven't moved a bit since my last big upswing, so i could def use another one of those. i think i average out to about 500 hands a day T__T so that's something that i need to work on as well.

also, i'm playing poker all over the fucking town so my data is split over 3+ computers, so no graphs until i can sort it all out.

peace,

spewtardation

collegesucks, Mar 04 2008

i've been playing awfully spewy/bad these past few sessions so i'm taking a break.

just not thinking, making bad moves in all the wrong places

a lot of tilt inducing hands too:

KK vs. A4o 3bet pot A4o catches AAx
KQ vs. AQo flop comes QQx
tons of flopped sets beaten

but mostly horrible horrible plays that i'm too ashamed to mention... hemorrhaging chips, basically

and this little gem:

good day

collegesucks, Mar 02 2008

i'm down 1.3 buyins this session but yesterday night was a sick sick heater for about 8 buyins in about 500 hands so this is all good.

i played about 800 hands over four hours of 4 tabling.

was up a buy-in and then down 2 buy-ins, and more ups and downs ad infinitum... your usual swingy shit

posted a lot of hands and got a bunch of awesome comments. thanks a lot to everyone who was nice enough to provide his feedback. they are all greatly appreciated =D

key hands:

HAND 1: thought i'd bluff the turn. do i get called down by Qxs a lot at the river?
+ Show Spoiler +

HAND 2: i put him on only 99/44 here to beat me here so it's a call?
+ Show Spoiler +

HAND 3: gotta get it in?
+ Show Spoiler +

HAND 4: i got bitchowned AK vs. AA
+ Show Spoiler +

HAND 5: got AK in good =D
+ Show Spoiler +

HAND 6: i fold aces but i call this...
+ Show Spoiler +

i see that i am extremely vulnerable to overbets =O

also... touchpad + poker + four hours = tilt

10k hands

collegesucks, Feb 27 2008

i'm so lazy... it took me fucking 3 months to get 10k hands lol

all i do is ghost around on lp.net while being too scared to play for real

the huge upswing was right after my session with gawdawaful. he's got midas's touch mebbe?

oh wait.. midas killed his daughter... right. the big downswing in there happened after this sick sick live home game i went to the other week.

man what a sick fucking game it was. it was SO bad and SO fucking loose that it was death for me once i started tilting. the thing is, it was completely impossible to isolate a player 95% of the fucking hands because a) if i was UTG, there would be at least one caller with me when i raise to 4.5x blinds, and if that guy calls, everybody behind him fucking calls with TRASH reciting "ohh shit pot odds" , and b) if im in position, i'm already playing against a raised pot with 2089369283 players who called the raiser before me. sure i 3bet a huge amount with my QQ-AA and the same fucking scenario occurs where if one guy calls, then it's the same damn "pot odds" bullshit all over again and i'm playing against 4 players in a HUGE reraised pot. so basically we played holdem with FIVE FUCKING HOLE CARDS. i can only get outflopped a few times right? WRONG.. FUCK YOU

add tilt to the whole thing and you have a night where you're down 110. i mean it's not much to most of you but that's 11 fucking buyins at NL10 for me.. wowwwwww

i was so hating poker by then that i didn't play for 3 days... and then when i got back, i was still a bit tilted i guess and i spewed about 6 buyins at around the 6k mark.

calmed down a little and played better/ran better so i'm back up at the top...

5.55BB/100 NL10 is hard T____T god, plz fix my leaks

by the way.. i won my 7th 70FPP so i'm 7/14 now... SHIP IT BITCHES

lifetime graph all the way from 2NL:

it's not too too ugly i guess

LOL poker dream

collegesucks, Feb 22 2008

so last night i had the opportunity to have gawdawaful sweat me for an hour. there were tons of info to take in so i may have gotten a little overwhelmed but still it was nice to actually get some insight into how poker is supposed to be played. i think for the session i was up about 2 buyins.. it would have been four buyins if i had won that AA vs. 89o in which the 89o landed a FH on the turn but still, overall a great session.

after that my friend and i decided to finish off a bottle of vodka and played some drunken starcraft and passed out eventually ship ship

oh.. won another 70 FPP so that makes it like 6/12 overall =O

last night i dreamt that i hit a five-of-a-kind on PStars but then i lost to a royal flush??? WTF?

lol..

I'm getting back to my grinding once I return to my dorm to my computer

GL all

got tilt?

collegesucks, Feb 21 2008

lolll my "got tilt?" tshirt from full tilt came today ship it bitches im now completely thru with FTP and its bullshit rigged shuffle. so fuck yeah.

and do any among you, my fellow n00b microstakes grinders, play the PStars 70FPP satellite to the Sunday Hundred Grand? this tourney is GOLD. first place is worth 11 tourney dollars and it's basically the closest thing you'll EVER come to a lp.net flippament, except you get to fold, which gives you a HUGE edge. i think i'm 4/10 ish over the history of me playing that tourney, and i won another one tonight =D the last time i was broke i built myself up from 70FPP points. I eventually went broke again with no FPPs but still... those things are lifesavers =D

i plan to donk it away on 1.75 18-man turbo SnGs which is also a huge donkathon

collegesucks, Feb 17 2008

Still 10NL

18/14/4 (too nitty?)

1.18BB/100 over 2800 hands..

my biggest leak by far is having pockets vs. higher pockets against people with whom I've played a couple of tumultuous hands a few hands back =(

other than that, I'm focusing on figuring out villain's ranges, evaluating flop texture for cbets, and picking up free chips from limpers, 3bet timing etc...

i signed up for grinderschool.com too =D

note: metagame at 10NL is probably nil

Interviews

collegesucks, Feb 11 2008

So today I interviewed with Ernst & Young and BDO for their internal auditing internships. I had Ernst & Young to interview with first in the morning and man the interviewer sweated me for 45 mins and things got really ugly when the subject of my grades came up. I didn't try to make up any bullshit though and told him straight up that I missed the final exams last semester for stupid reasons and the professor didn't let me make them up, but that I learned my lesson and am trying my best to give due effort in all of my classes now.

Unfortunately, I don't think he bought the honesty ploy at all, so I feel that my chances of working at E&Y are pretty much shot to shit, especially considering the depth of competition for that prestigious firm to begin with.

The second interview went flawlessly except for the fact that I was 5 minutes late (shit!). I was playing poker online at my house in between the interviews and god damn it i hate the fact that time just exponentially speeds up at the last minute. The interview was at 1 and I was pretty sure that only about a minute passed since I last looked at the clock, which was pointing at 12:30. I was ONLY going to play for a little bit before I realized that it was fucking 12:50!!!

Fortunately, my dodge neon has the ability to shrink time and space to some degree so I shortened the 20 minute trip to school to 10 and also dressed up while driving =D

The BDO interview went perfectly as far as selling myself goes. I was really able to drill my fluency in Korean into the interview's head so there's something that should stand out when he goes over the applicants for the west coast/new york. So there's still some hope for a non-degenerate summer.

Pokerwise, I played a total of about 5 hours today, during the first session in between the interviews when I went up 3 buyins on NL10 and then an additonal 3 on a second session that I just finished for around 900 hands, so my bankroll went from 225 to 280 today =D.

Gotta mention this one hand against an UBER FUCKING NIT sitting with 500BB against whom I went all in for 150BB with a Q8 straight vs. his K9 straight.. WTF lol. but other than that, I played pretty smoothly overall, cbetting tons and valuebetting the river tons and generally not getting sucked out. the easiest thing is that I can control so much of the game here at NL10 since most of the players I've seen are passive as fuck. heh.

Also played that 2 dollar tourney on PStars just now and cashed out for a whopping 3.50 (fuck yeah). the final hand was me on the BTN with AQo ~3.5k chips vs. the SB with 8k and an AJs. I obv. shove and he calls... the flop comes A J x and the turn is another J, crushing my hopes for the 1.4k first place prize, which definitely isn't too shabby for a 2 dollar investment. I'm pretty sure if I play about 700 of these, I would come out at least even in the end (3 fucking all ins the first hand of the game which was a QQ vs AQs vs J9s preflop -_________-;; ).

But on this particular one I'm not too sure if i played properly as I only saw about 7% of the flops for over 2 hrs of play. I know I'll switch gears following the flow of the tourney but I didn't even get the chance to do so this time. hopefully, the next time I play, I'll be able to secure a bigger lead going into the money.

GL fellas

EDIT: nvm an ace on the river would have split that pot for me lol i gotta stop returning to my post ten fucking times every time.
