Today i've played my 1st big session of the month !
The session started well... not because i was running hot but because the aggrodonks were donating.. its funny how you just need to reraise a few times preflop to get a maniac/psycho image from certain players. Here's a few funny examples:
the beggining of the downswing is this hand is probably one of the worst hand i've ever played. i wasnt concentrated much coz i was trying to upload a hand on lp.net and i played the hand terribly
this guy is the type of guy that only reraise KK or AA.. maybe QQ.. he has a very low aggression factor and considering his range, he's very lickely to have the ace of diamond that nobody with half a brain would fold. also, i wanted to raise to 60 but clicked the bet pot button wich committed me completely.
all in all, TERRIBLE spot to bluff.. =/
then this hand happenned.. this might be foldable against some players but against an unknown this is an insta call right ??
This donk minraised me on the flop and i imediately tought he had top pair.i also knew he would bet every streets with it so i decided to call down to disguise my hand.On the river he made a weak bet of 25$ and i decided to minraise ( !!! ) him. i tought at the moment it was the only way i was getting any more value of him... toughts ?
then this set up happenned, nothing the guy could do. notice how passive some of these players are -___-;; http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/177550
a shortstack decided to piss me off at one time.. he went all in on the 1st hand.. then again on the 2nd hand and i called him with A9 sooted http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/177633
tought that yesterday's update from rakebrain.com was the last one (coz i stopped playing 2 days ago) but i checked this morning and it was updated again.
so ive paid a total of 1270.72$ in rake--> 381.22$ in rakeback
This month i've paid 1054.03$ in rakes
30% rakeback on UB = +316.21$
1st week: ive made 1000pts = +50$
2nd week: could not play enough to get cash for my points
3rd week: made 1250 pts = +62.5$
4th week: made 2020 pts = +151.5$
% of rakeback = 55%
cleared the 100% bonus: +350$
played nl25, nl50 and nl100: +2436$
total: +3050$
im pretty happy considering i started the month with a 350$ deposit on march 5th.. Thx to the soft competition of UB.
i wont be able to play that much for 3-4 weeks.. final exams are coming
if i could make 1K in april playing from time to time i would be very happy!
According to rakebrain.com i've paid about 238$ in rake last 7 days
30% rake back = 72$ back
~1250 pts gave me 62$
and i unlocked 125$ from my bonus $$
in total thats 259$ ---> 109% rakeback !
without the bonus thats still close to 57%, not bad ! it goes up to 69% if you can manage to get 2000+ pts per week.. not that hard at all
havent updated my blog because i wasnt playing at all. 1st half of january was good but lost almost all my winnings in the 2nd half. then i noticed i would have a shitload of study soon and decided to stop poker completely.
so i cashed out everything from stars (planning to come back on UB) and spent all my FPPS. Got a nice LCD TV, 500$ in gift cards and some pokerstars clothing.
i came back to poker during the spring break and decided to deposit only 350$ (to get maximum bonus) thinking it wouldnt take that long to get to nl50 then nl100 with rakeback+bonus.... well after i had unlocked 100$ from the bonus my bankroll was at an outstanding 300$ :-/.
then things started to go better and im now well bankrolled for nl50. ill give you my results at the end of the month !
