Being the life nit that I am I played only 2/4 HU for my first session today. I played 4 tables while watching apathys new HU vid on leggpoker.
As Im grinding the nitlife out a familiar face sits down on two tables. Hes a guy I have played a couple of sessions against on 2/4 and 3/6 and he just lifetilts me so much. Last two sessions I have played against him he ran hot in the beginning and I got really frustrated and dropped more cash on him. He is very passive, stationy and tight preflop. I real nightmare to play when you are down money and frustrated so I have probably dropped like 3k total to him in a few days.
Today though, I felt really calm, collected and was playing really good. I just decided I wouldnt let him get a lead on me early on so I just could abuse his nittyness and frustrate him into monkey tilt.
It started out really well, I grindend him down a couple of hundred bucks on both tables and finally stacked him at one. Just as this is happening I hear apathy on the video talking about how you should take shots in passive HU games even though you are not rolled for them and how you shouldnt just grind one limit like a retard(like me).
Just as apathy speaks this truth the now notably frustrated passive fuckbag asks me If i want to play 3/6 instead. I obv accept having momentum and just having a huge edge on him in general. When I accept to play 3/6 he instantly wants to play 5/10 which im not really comfortably rolled for but I say, wtf apathy I trust your wisdom.
We end up playing one table of 3/6 and one 5/10 and I just stomp him to no end at 5/10. He was tilted and made some really bad plays, I played very solid and ran good ship it!
May is going really well and if nothing terrible happens it will be my best month in a long long time. Its a fucking relief after grinding like a madman for alot of months and really putting in some serious fucking effort but still just ending up with mediocre/bad results.
Been kinda busy in school and stuff so I havent updated in a while. We are doing a video course right now and its awesome! We are making 3 short films and its really fun although it takes up alot of my time.
April was an ok month for me, didnt play as much as I wanted to but ran decent for the later half of the month after a disastrous start.
April total:
I have played even less in May, mostly because of school but also cause I sorta havent felt like playing until recently. Im ok with it though since I will be able to play a TOOON during June. I really need to split my roll over several sites though because I have some trouble getting good action at 3/6 hu on ipoker. Theres just alot more fish at 2/4 and I find myself sitting and waiting sometimes for like 30 min before someone comes along and wants to play me at 3/6.
neways, results may so far:
So summer is coming and im fucking stoked. I will be able to play a ton and just hang out with friends and do baller/fun/relaxing stuff. Havent really decided If Im going to vegas yet, I dread the 14 hour flight but I had an awesome time last year so maybe I will go after all. We will have to wait and see.
I havent updated in a while because Im lazy and I have been really busy. Havent played much at all during may, mostly because of school but I also havent really felt like playing and I dont want to play unless I really feel like it because I tend to play really bad otherwise.
Anyways, logged some hands today and Im still completely in love with weekends. I managed to find two pretty bad players who bought in full and rebought when losing and I put both of them on massive monkey tilt resulting in some good results and a solid winrate.
I guess Ill have to make a bigger update later, I dont really have time now cause I need to go get drunk asap.
Sickest thing ever, I played soccer today. Outside. With only a t-shirt and shorts! OMFG SHIP THE SPRING YO! It was awesomesauce but it made me really exausted so I debated not playing poker when I got home. Being a degenerate I ate some food, drank some water and hit the tables.
I busted a couple of semishorties sitting down pretty fast and soon enough a familiar face sits down. Its a guy from Italy that I played yesteday. He actually ended up a bit on me yesteday which always hurts because hes not really good. He plays very tight for HU, almost running like i do at 6-max. Around 37/28/2,5. He calls way to many 3-bets and has some blowup tendencies. All in all I think he sucks quite alot so I was happy when he sat down on two tables to play me.
Now the next 1k hands I introduced him to a little thing I like to call pure and complete pain. I ran well but I think I picked really good spots to bluff and snap of bluffs. I just repeatedly stacked him and he instarealoaded and kept playing. I was up a tonton on him, he managed to make some of it back though but I ended up having my biggest day in a long long time.
Lets learn a lesson from this shall we?
In HU, its very very extremely important to set a stop loss. Ahwell, Im happy he didnt. SHIPSHIP!
The only good thing about being on penicillin is that I cant go out and get hammered so I stay home and beat on nerdy weekend fish. God, I could play poker professionally only on weekends. Its just sooo fishy everywhere. Gameselecting HU is best done by sitting down at a table and wait for 30 sec until some random french guy sits down and donates money.
SHIPSHIP, friday + saturday:
I think Im playing good but I definitely have some problems when playing more than 2 tables of HU against diffrent opponents.
Alot of my preflop play tend to get robotic and thats really bad when playing one guy who is 70/50 and one who is 35/30 and one at like 45/40 at the same time. I constantly have to remind myself to focus on hand selecting diffrently at the tables and its exausting. Hopefully this gets easier with more experience. I also feel I need to up my agression on later streets so I will be working on that.
April has gone from crash and burn to a decent month and Im really happy about this, also once again I have decided to not play 6-max anymore for all of april. I just suck at it these days and it bores me to death.
apparently god/jesus/optimus prime answered my prayers cause I managed to take myself to close to break even in just two sessions today!
When losing you always doubt if you are even running bad or just playing like a retard, well today I realized I felt releif and disbelief everytime my hand didnt get sucked out on which points to the fact that I ran pretty terrible yesterday. Anyways, I ran goodie today both at HU and 6-max and it feels great.
Probably gonna play another session or two later today since Im aiming for 2k hands a day minimum.
Now all I need is a life heater and I will be fine. Ive taken alot of bad beats the last few days. I failed an exam, meaning that I on top of all the shit I have to redo for school(including another exam, a movie script and other bullshit) I have another exam to worry about. I also got ANOTHER fucking bacterial infection in my throat so I have to be on antibiotics for 10 days meaning no drinking and just plain boredom.
Im getting really sick of school, most of it is soooo easy but 90% of the things we learn feel completely useless. Note that by useless I dont mean the standard "when is this information ever going to be useful??". I normally enjoy learning just about anything even if its things I will have no use for to make money/chicks/life etc but man, the time I have wasted sitting at lectures learning absolutely nothing with some teacher just yapping away about nothing for hours and hours.
With everything feeling meaningless and being cakewalk easy I still manage to fail alot of classes just because I cant be fucking bothered with all this nonsese. Its just taking up time away from what I want to do, which is mainly playing poker.
I cant wait for the summer to finally get here, god I will enjoy it imensely!
Fuck I hate poker so much right now. Im down 4,5k for the month and nothing is working out for me. Most of this is 6-max since I havent felt like playing HU but I really think Im playing well for the most part. As always there are some losses that could have been avoided but still.
I cant flop a set to save my life and I havent won a flip nor have i been at the happy end of a cooler in days
This game is so brutal bleeehhhhhhhhhRAAAHHHHH RAAAGEEEEE!
Ill just break down and start again, im off school tomorrow so hopefully I can play alot. I still feel confident in my game and im in a good mindset while playing so I guess ill just have to grind it out.
I need a poker heater and a fucking life heater. I havent had neither in so long cmon god you owe me one shipship
OMFG LOL. While waiting for my laundry to get done I decided to play some HU. I quickly found a huuge fish buying in for full and rebuying when losing. Jackpot right? I just completely stomped him and was up like 2k after about 20 min.
Just to give you guys an idea, he was playing 80/60/1,7. He basicly played almost every hand, always minraised preflop and his standard postflop bet was like 1/5 pot. He called down with anything, like 3rd pair for 3 streets in a reraised pot etc. He was also talking to me in french like a madman which was quite enjoyable.
As I was up 2k and he was still rebuying I was running out of time. The laundry rooms in my appartment complex have like an electronic lock so I have to get in there to get my laundry while I still have it booked. This was until 21:00 and it was like 20:40 right now. If I dont get the laundry in time I will have to book the next time witch is 7 in the morning tomorrow(BAH) and get it then.
I made a couple of quick ev calculations considering the downside of having all my clothes stuck and going to school tomorrow in wet or dirty clothes and the upside of making a ton of money from this frogeater. I eventually decided to take the path usually taken, the greedy one.
All of a sudden, the fish made some hands and managed to slowly chip up. I ran a couple of big bluffs when deep and he snapcalled then with like second pair both times and I was a saaad panda. I realized bluffing this idiot deep was a bad idea so I tightened up and started beating down on him again but he still managed to make some hands and I was getting frustrated.
Eventually a very beautiful beautiful thing happened, I flop a set in a reraised pot! This is such a dream sitation since he will call down all streets with any piece OMG lets ship the money!
After this one he instaleaves! Im sitting there, not really knowing what just happened going from being up 2k to down 1k to this retard. Seeking comfort in the fact that atleast I will have time to get my laundry I look at the time and its 21:01 FUCK MY LIFE
Apparently God loves laundry above anything and will punish anyone prioritizing diffrently with great force. Keep that in mind kids.
My money has been stuck in a neteller cashout(wtf) for almost a week but I finally got it yesterday so I have been playing alot. God Im such a poker addict, after just one week I was really fucking dying to play. I also feel like this break might have helped me in alot of ways. I have gotten some hunger to play which is sweet, I also feel more motivated than ever to just grindgrindgrind.
Due to this Ive been playing 6-max again, its been a while since I did cause I did poorly and just hated it the last few sessions I played. Anyways, so far so good, the competition is weak, I really enjoy playing it again and I think Im playing well.
Being in a grinding mindset Ive decided to aim for 2k hands a day. This would put me at about 50k hands for the month which is the minimum amount of hands I want to get in. This might sound like very little to some of you but considering I very rarely play more than 4 tables and I have school aswell it will keep me busy.
neways, results for April so far:
Last but not least I wanna recommend a movie. I saw the trailer for this one when I was in New York City last year but couldnt remember the name. I finally found it. Heres the trailer:
Basicly, the movie revolves around youth culture, music and the anti war movement during the sixties. All of this acompanied by remade songs by the Beatles performed in a musical kind of way. Now I generally hate musicals and Im allergic to "artsy" movies and this definitely fits into that category. Being a life long beatles fan I was also kinda afaid that they would butcher a ton of my favorite songs.
However, this movie really pulls it off. Most of the songs are really well performed("let it be" and "happiness is a warm gun" WOW!) And it doesnt feel near as pretentious as It could have.
Hard to fail when making a movie arround songs from the best band ever huh?
