Bad Couple of weeks
KrappyKonnect, Aug 17 2007
So yeah from a razz perspective this has been a bad month. I quickly dropped 2.5k at 30/60 and took a little week long break. I have been running pretty terrible, and it also caused me to play badly. I still have been playing and running pretty poorly, but ill work out my game. Today I went back to 30/60 and won 219 bucks, and broke even at 10/20. This fish took me for 400 dollars heads up, ran sick hot i wanted to puke. Then he taunted me and said all this stupid redneck dumb shit. Kind of people who are mentally challenged and want to punch in the face. Oh well, ill get him some day and get unstuck for the month hopefully. Good luck all.
Big Loss
KrappyKonnect, Aug 02 2007
I had a pretty big loss today, first big loss since my experiment, and dropped 1200. I made 375 yesterday so its only feeling like an 800$ loss at 30/60 razz. Lets just say I ran so bad it was gross, I didnt hit one draw, I was a bit tired, and I sort of didnt care about the money going back and forth. I think im a bit burnt out on razz, and am gonna try cash games again for a few days or so, and am gonna go back to razz afterwards. If I see a soft game going on itll probably draw me back sooner than later, but for now im gonna work on my holdem game. I think its important to have two games so that when you are bored of one you can switch to another and not super spew. Cause even today when I ran bad, there were some spots where I should just fold outright to get me out of sticky situations. Whatever Itll all come back to me
July Tally
KrappyKonnect, Jul 31 2007
I picked up 375 more bucks today in like a 10 minute session against Elvis-Senior today at 30/60 razz. He quickly left after he busted (bought in for 300 twice). Enough of that though Im gonna get to razz at the end. My results for holdem( I havent played much because my computer sucks when it comes to running pahud and pokertracker, so I thought about laying off holdem a bit and playing more razz which has been awesome):
THe last 500 hands were at 1/2 everything else 50c/1
My results in the last week of razz 30/60 since ive been keeping track have added up and the final total is 3232$. Pretty sick because I may have played maybe 6 hours? maybe 1500 hands. Pretty Awesome and I hope it continues.
Holdem -- 2552$
Razz -- 3232$
Other -- 500$(estimate)
Total -- 6284$. Woohoo I love Razz!!
Revenge For Jonny Cosmo
KrappyKonnect, Jul 30 2007
I dont know if you guys remember blogs very well, and you probably shouldnt, I mean get a life. Anyways onto business...
I have sort of a grudge against this one player who insults me, my country(oh canada!), my razz game(yeah we iz playin razz fools), and just everything in general. He is probably the biggest pricks on pokerstars.
As for JonnyCosmo, I never played him, he doesnt know me, but we connect in a very distant way. How?http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=179989
Man what a prick right? Go to google.com, and type his name in, and no one has one good thing to say about him. He keeps telling me(Oh I was team captain of America, we're the bset, Im the best blah blah blah). I always challenge him to some 30/60 heads up and he always refused until about an hour ago. I was nervous, because this was the internets, and my internets reputations was on the line. I had to fight him, and I had to win. On to the grudge match!
GRUDGE MATCH RAZZ style!!!
Now let me start this off by saying, I was nervous, and I started off this match playing not my best. I really didnt want to lose, and Im not super comfortable at 30/60 yet(getting there). That being said I was tonnes better than him and I knew after a few hands I would find my A-Game. I believe I found it later.
This guy does not like folding his hands when situation dictates he should(razz so im not gonna explain it.) This guy doesnt fold predraw when he has a number card. Almost never. I couldnt let go of speculative holdings because he was palying super maniac loose, and I had to play with him in some hands. This got me playing a bit too fast and not thinking which cost me a few bets. I got up to 1900 twice only to get wittled down to 1300 ran a big bluff http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/241390 but when back down to 1400 respectively(1200 is your starting point). Finally I hit a huge hand, and he paid me off pretty handsomely and this got me back to 1900 for the 3rd time, but more importantly it gave me a ton of momentum, and his play started to deteriorate(I totally massacred that word, didnt I?)
The Hand: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/241385
Thanks for the extra 120$! Seriously what is he doing 3 betting the 7 then calling the 4th bet with it. Indicators of a bad player right there. He is almost never good in terms holdem players can understand.
Then he gives me another free 120$ and he was pretty much done after that
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/241387
Badabingbadaboom, ship 1200$. I feel pretty awesome right now, because 1200$ is a lot of money to me. It also cements me as one of the best players on stars, I think, because I have done this on multiple occasions, and it feels good to be there. I can put my name beside onlyplayragz, fisheye, and wired as the top of the field on stars, and Im very confident about that assumption. Here are some piccys:

Boring Blog
KrappyKonnect, Jul 29 2007
This blog sucks, but ill keep it as something to keep track of my wins and losses. I played 2 sessions today at 30/60 razz, one for -224$ profit and the other for a 401$ profit, making it a day of 178 dollars. I might of played for an hour over those two sessions so not bad. 178/h is nothing I will complain about, but I was up a whole lot more, so kind of sour about that. I ran two big bluffs too, holdem style but I wont show em cuz I dont want to reveal my genius
So I guess Ive played about 6 sessions this week and imma do some math
-900
+800
+1000
+406
-224
+401 = 1683$ and thats probably over 8 hours or so, so Im making 210$/h. I need stud tracker... Either way im rollin over the game and it feels good to finally be at the top of a game which I have a lot of confidence in. I dont smack talk people that much at holdem cause I dont think im very good, so there is no reason to do it. I throw a lot of smack up at 30/60 though and I probably have lots of people hating on me. Oh well I like money more than I like some dumb idiots respect.
Sick Session, Sick Life.
KrappyKonnect, Jul 28 2007
I just played some 30/60 razz, was up 300, down 300, up 300 again, down 1000, and then finally finished up 406 and got the f out of the room. This game has crazy swings, and I know im gonna go on a sick downswing one day, and hope I can keep my emotions in control. I sucked out in a key pot, and it was a super suck out which was induced by super tilt, and im not going to show it due to embarassment, but other than that I played probably the best I ever have. Seriously people say razz is boring, but it isnt. I would say its exciting but I dont think everyone would agree with that. I think it is fair to say that it is one of the sickest games poker has to offer. If not the sickest. I heard omaha is big on swings too, so I will leave that to the public to decide.
I also won the biggest pot of my life, and I think OnlyPlayRagz played it pretty horridly. I dont think he is very good, but I sucked out on him hard, so im not gonna get too much into him. He probably thinks im junk too
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240096
I know most of you dont understand razz strategy, but usually if I think my opponents board is craptastic, and I have a 9 lo, I raise it, but usually i try and put myself on a nice 6 or wheel draw just in case he has a good hand. With just a 7 lo draw, I dont know what he is hoping for. Then on 6th he leads out and gets raised, im thinking if he was really good he should fold, but nobody folds there ever. Good thing I hit that ace on 7th and he didnt or id be shitting my pants.
Tasty Fish
KrappyKonnect, Jul 27 2007
Back into my ventures of 30/60 razz, I was able to pick up a big win earlier today against a huge fish, which was good cuz he was smack talkin so i smack talked back, it was fun. 1k win in all. I was down to 600(you start with 1200), barred down and finished at 2200 at the end of it all. Pretty happy, and hopefully he'll wanna play me again. He was fkin terrible. I wanted to post a whole bunch of hands to showcase my heroic battle, but ill just post one really big pot, and one really big suckout.

Pick Up Razz
KrappyKonnect, Jul 27 2007
Its pretty sick, I was playing some 30/60 razz on pokerstars, and its amazing how some people can play this game, without any grasp of how it works.
Take a hand that played out earlier, against two players yesterday. The point of razz is to get the worst lo hand. The first player was showing 4 cards to a 9lo something like xx9853x, and the other guy was showing something like xx62AAx. The guy with the 6 lo hand kept betting at it trying to stab at the pot, and on the river he bets it again. Now with a hand like 9853 it is almost certain that the guy is calling 100% of the time because he almost always never bricked 2 cards in his hole, and at worst he has a weak 98 hand. He is calling everytime, there is no point of betting as a bluff. But the player with a 62A draw bet at it again and he bricked a 6 with hole card. All he had was a Q643A lo, but the other guy called, and had Q9 lo, because he double paired. Just a really ugly hand, I couldnt believe that Q6 took it down, it was like playing 50c/1. I wish I had the hand history because my analysis is terrible, and most of you dont play razz but oh well its my blog, f u. Another hand was where a guy had a better lo showing on his board, and the guy with the worst board kept betting at it, and the guy just only called, even though his hand was made, and he had the best hand the whole time. Something like:
Player A : (37)T8AK
Player B : (32)KQ86
Player A was check calling and player B was just betting at it. Why the hell wouldnt player A raise. Its pretty sick how bad the play was at 30/60, and ill try and spend more time there. I think playing against some good regulars along with fish, help me find holes in my game. Fisheye25, who plays razz with me often is an amazing player and I only truly realized that yesterday. He made some pretty outstanding folds, and I am gonna have to mix up my play against him, and sort of realize that razz isnt just about betting when you are ahead, and checking when you are behind, there is a lot of metagame going on, and you have to realize that you sometimes have to respect your opponents hands and make some folds, even when pot odds dictate you call. Making those big folds is what seperates the best players from the ok ones. I would like to consider myself one of the best players at this game, so Im definitely folding when im way behind.
The two sessions I had at 30/60 were filled with fish, and the first session I could not hit a hand when it counted, and lost 700, but made 600 back when I came back later, and the game was smaller(Razz is more profitable when the game is short handed rather then long handed, because 4 players to 4th street is just a crapshoot really, and I was faring terribly in them, lee would just not hook me up. I came so close to winning my first 1k pot, I almost threw up.
anyways cliffnotes are, learn razz there is so much dead money in this game, and its a fun game if you are sick of grinding cash games or nlhe tournaments. Its also the easiest game to pick up(other than triple draw but triple draw will make you want to cut your wrists).
