Today there were not enough 600nl sh tables running so I decided I could take a shot at a juicy 1000nl sh game.
-2326.50 in 138 hands, for -84.29ptbb/100.

No doubt i'am smart.
My new goal is to win 2326.50 at 10nl to punish myself.

See u

Yeah, 100k why?
?
Okay i'm talking about 100k hands of 600nl sh =) not 100k$ (which would be impossible in 100k hands since i suck llolololololol)
I _MAY_ post an update at 50k hands but I'll see.
This goal is important to me, It'll require alot of patience and time, I'll have to improve, to fight tilt and stuff that I still dont know to handle.
I'm currently at 25% of the goal, so hopefully it won't be too hard to reach before 31st december.. who knows.. gl all

Okay lately I've been playing alot and bad.
I'm a tilty donkey and I need to relearn and focus and win again, so for a while I won't update this blog. I'm starting a new empty database, with only hands from 600nl sh for a while. I don't feel like moving up or down or playing tournaments, I need to gain confidence and that's why I'll only play my supposed best game 6 tabling or 8 tabling 600nl sh.

See you later.

ps: i'm not broke...

Hi there, just to share how hot I've been running the past weeks... this is not since first august but since the 15th the first loosing day (just after a +2500$ day lol).


this is only 6max, the NL($6) & NL($4) are 6max stats at doyles room.
Let's try to analyze that.

I played mostly at doyles room and lost 4k there over 9k hands -2300$ at 600nl and -1630$ at 400nl... 4 buyins down on both limits it's not that sick for 6max over 9k hands so no real problem here, just variance + big mistakes, I have big troubles playing with a 300$ stack at 2/4 and 450$ at 3/6.

My stats on pokerstars are ridiculous because of the small sample of hands played there, +166$ after 1800 hands (stacked twice today against vaesolis 3 handed... one time he reraise my AT flop came A45 he has 45 and I called to the river, 2nd he reraises preflop with A6 and hit two pair against my semibluff flushdraw allin). SO YEAH THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG AT FULL TILT.


FullTiltPoker.
What can I say... I'm running sick bad, I play bad for sure but well that's sick...
2800 hands, 800 at 600nl for a -2900$ and 2000 at 2/4 for -2366...
I can remember some hands I got stacked on, its like I raise AA he flops nut flush, I raise AA he flops straight, I raise AA he pushes on a K flop and K turn, I have a set he pushes AK on ATJ4 and river is a Q.... WOW. STOP IT PLEASE...

well all in all I need to analyze alot my plays, to work on my game, also I have noticed that I'm too much a bluffcatcher and without a real read it can cost alot of money... so the plan right now is to recover from the downswing at any stake between 0.5/1 and 2/4, no shot at 3/6 for the moment, no mtt, no sng... oh and I'm not reloading anymore on fulltilt (I still have 555$ maybe the upswing is coming!).

Also I'm sorry about bad beat stories and complains, I've been running hot and now at my first big downswing I'm like a donkey always telling that my bad beats are sick and that I'm running bad. OKAY I am, but I should be happy to see that some donkeys still calls my monsters with their 2 outers... It's poker, It's my game and I'm going to crush it.
see you all in two weeks to see what happened.

Really strange month, full of new records, but also full of disappointments.
New bankroll record but also biggest downswing ever (10k), two final tables in mtt, one bit, and two sick bustouts... Oh, well...

sit&gos:
played 85 heads up $52.50 on pokerstars and doyles room, I was up $700 at a certain point but lost later on tilting against donkeys. Total profit +$337.50 (7.60% ROI, 56.5% won).


cashgame:
+$1,556.07, over 35,285 hands mostly at doyles room and fulltilt. thank you downswing. of course i'm not happy and I'll try to improve an win more. I'm now playing 3/6nl sh only.


tournaments:
+2147.27, over 21 mtt (cashed in 5). here are the details:
+113.40 in a 21+rebuy at doyles room (12/180)
+80 in the pokerstars 100k guaranteed monthly freeroll
+328 after winning and selling a 475w$ seat in the 27+rebuys
------ whine time #1 ------
sunday 08/27 made the final table in the 100k guaranteed weekly tourney (56.70 with rebuys) at doyles room . I'm 3/8 when this hand happens:
I have 450k (cl 700k) blinds 10k/20k, I raise to 50k utg with QdQh, bb reraise allin for 290k, I call and he has 9s9c. I'm still ahead on the turn and there are three diamonds on the board BUT the river is the 9h. I have 160k. Next hand I'm bb with A6o sb completes and I push, he calls 66 an win. I finish 8th and win $3170.34 (first was 28.5k).
------whine time #2 ------
today I made the final table of a 26$ freezeout mtt on fulltilt, I'm 2/8 when CO with 12bb minraises, I have AKs in the small blind an push, he has A9 and win with a flush. one orbit later I raise 2.5bb with QQ, chipleader push, I call, he has AQ, A turn gg (chiplead pot). +140.58

conclusion: I'm better at tournaments, or running better, BUT you can't do anything when you take a badbeat in the final table.


overall month: +4090.34


I'll come later to post goals and thoughts about the end of the year because I'm still in holydays till the 18th, after what I'll start again university and won't be able to play much.
Also September is going to be a special month. First week my friend solody will come here and we are going to play alot. Then the 12th I'll turn 21 years old which is the age required to play in the casinos in usa. and september is also going to be the first anniversary of my poker course!

EPT Satellites are now running on stars..
Ok, I know I'm horrible at tourneys but well, I need some live poker experience and it's a good challenge to try to win a seat! Plus Barcelona is about 3 hours away from my house and the stop is scheduled for 13th-16th September, just before the end of holidays. It's all good!
Now I know it'll be hard to win a seat, I mean, several good players will attend saturday qualifiers on stars, and I'm far from beeing good even when i'm playing my best. I need to play perfect and run good if I want to go there. I don't like the idea of throwing money away just to try to win a seat so that challenge will probably force myself to improve my tournament & satellite play, I already have ideas on how to become better (not hard).
I started subsatellites last week, I won a seat for the Saturday $475 Qualifier but had to unregister it for personal reasons. Yesterday I came back and registered the 4000FPP direct qualifier, and one subsatellite, I donked in the 4kfpp but won another $475 seat in the 27+R so It's a good start.


About cashgames for July it's going hell good but I'm so lazy... I can't log for long hours, I play at best 600 hands in a row and stop because I'm tired or not focused or just satified with my overall result. So it's really bad and I need to do something, I need to achieve Supernova (need 21kVPP), I want 25k FTP (FullTilt Points) to buy the custom hockey jersey(Cuts, 14).. I should be playing to get that but... no... I'm just on the computer reading blogs and stuff from the wsop.
About that It's really frustrating not be able to even try to qualify (I'm 20), I don't think I'd have a chance to last one day in a wsop event (well I'm sure I can but I like to underestimate myself) but this month is so wsop-oriented, everyone is trying to win a seat or discussing which event they gonna play, how soft are the cashgames, how sick was that ... blablabla... I wish I could be there.. just to have fun and watch. Well! next year I hope.

So what is next?
- Win a qualifier to EPT Barcelona Open
- Practice weekly & deepstack mtts
- grind 400nl
- start to play 400nl sh
- supernova
- hockey jersey
- open a partypoker account with r***b***
- GRIND
- GRIND
- GRIND...

**BONUS** Picture of Howard Lederer with my future Hockey Jersey (replace 13 by 14 and LEDERER by Cuts or LACAY)
















Seriously, I'm sure there is something in that jersey that helps to win tournaments, hopefully I'll get it before EPT Barcelona...
