1k to 50k

Got back to poker this month after my "month long hiatus". I got about 3-4k worth of data unaccounted for since i played at friends comp where i won about 1kish, then the rest of the hands that were accounted for are here:

+ Show Spoiler +

been really focusing on Quality > Quantity of hands lately and trying to squeeze a lot of marginal spots stealing blinds etc etc. If i was ever depressed or not in the mood for poker i didn't ever force myself this month to play.

October Summary: +2.1k profit +280 rb in about 12k hands or so.

Br: 6.2k (would be at 8k+ if i didnt tilt cashout last month alone; EXCLUDING previous months this yr) Gonna take a stab at 2/4 when I hit 8k (i know ima get berated by nits here).

During Mid august i went on a massive heater and got up to 4k from 100nl. I took a 200nl shot at 4.8k and got up to 7.2k peak to late august. Then the doomswitch happened.... i went from 7.2k all the way down to 5k in 48 hrs(11 buyins or so)... I was geting owned hard by good regs/reg fishes/ whales and shortstacks. Got it in plenty of times with overpair vs toppair and it never held once.

Early september i cashed out like 1.5kish cuz i was going on midlife crisis and hating fulltilt... just seeing 2 cards together made my stomach sick. So i refused to play another hand until i felt like it again which was about a period of 30days or so. In the meantime i focused on school/classical guitar/dota/SF4/drinking on a regular basis to get my mind off poker. I seriously considered quitting and cashing the rest out (4kish after cashing out 1.5k). The only poker i playd was when my rich friend offered to stake me for sunday million cuz hes a huge degen... that was a pretty good waste of 215$.

Bouncing back:

Then the other day i was at my friends house(i go there almost every day) and i was bored since he wasnt there yet, so i booted up 3 tables of 200nl 6max. (Before my short hiatus I was 6-8 tabling 200nl lol.) This time it was different tho... from 15vpip i was playing 30vpip and putting people on tilt/making bad calls/folds etc. I was about even at friends comp.
Then i got home pretty early that night yesterday (12am) and din't feel like sleeping.
So like a true degen at 12am i boot up an HU table vs any reg and play cards(normally i played 2-3 hu tables). He made a lot of out of line bets where I would bet flop, then 20 on 27 turn and he'd always reraise me some weirdass amt. And i actually had the goods a few times and he got caught out of line... then he got really lucky when he went allin on QK4cc Tc turn when he had Ac9h on 3b pot and i had AJo and he rivers Jd for split. This was the last hand before he jet. + Show Spoiler +

managed to win about 300 or so from him in about 200 hands...

Around 3pm today i wake up to watch some football and at 8pm i continue to grind 4x 200nl 6m tables and here is end result for sunday.





I dont know if this means ill be playing a lot again but theres a good chance after today I think the month break let me focus a lot on whats important in my life (school, friends, music, videogames, and alcohol). Hope to see you degens at table soon!

btw if anyone wants to chat about anything hit me up on aim!

My friend is staking me AGAIN (cuz hes rich and stupid after me reasuring him its -EV) for the sunday $750k gtd on FTP. Im mainly a cashgame player and my roi for tourneys is pretty bad imo. I would say my early/midgame is really really bad but lategame when it gets to FT i feel really confident and people just in general play horrendous at FT i feel. However, most of the time i dont make it to FT obv... but a lot of times i feel clueless how to play early/midgame. Sometimes i play too tight sometimes too agressive etc. and make bad bluffs.


Any positive insight is greatly appreciated, sorry if my question is too general

just bought a brand new itouch from craigslist for $160, went home plugged it in and it doesnt read. It was factory sealed and everything... but for some reason when i connected it to 3 diff computers it can't recognize the USB and the itouch doesnt light up or anything at all. But when u press the box/home key it says its full battery life but im 95% sure when you connect it to computer theres like something wrong with the system so that its unrecognizable by comp.

if anyone knows how to fix this ill donate to you at tables

Lately ive lost all motivation to play poker and i refuse to play now unless i feel like workign on my game etc. Im down over 10 buyins this month from 200nl running really bad set vs oversets, losing QQ vs AK-AA etc. And Overpair never holding up on 3b pots allin on flop. Basically im really soulcrushed right now and was wondering where i could get cheap coaching for 100-200nl. I know most coaches charge ridiculous amounts like 5x their hourly winrate and im not down to pay that much, when i play on such low limits compared to what they charge and theres no guarantee ill win more :D

I appreciate any input.

Most rigged site ever. I made some of the msot beautiful plays.
1) getting a guy ot shove QQh on turn on KT24 3 hearts board when i have AA no heart then he flushes it on river for over 100bb's
2) guy calls 3b with QTo hits a queen i checkshove he calls binks a T on river also for over 100bbs.

Besides all that i had the worst board turnouts no matter waht i had board would turn out 4 card str8 or flushes and I would get bluffed off on river cuz their first to act etc. Overall happy with how im playing and not gonna let results affect my play.

finally fixing some leaks in my game. Took a shot at 1/2 and started off up like 5 bi then ended up net down 4 buyins so (6m and HU) after some more shots. i dropped down to 50/1 again to fine tune my leaks. I dont think im gonna be playing 1/2 hu again the swings are so huge and i think i may have tilt problems hu. I think one of my biggest weaknesses is discipline and being too results oriented and levelling myself when people jam 3x pot or w/e and i have an overpair on a non 3b pot.

But here was my marathon session for the night obviously running godlike but i think i played my A game.


Hopefully i continue to run good but if i dont ill try not to be results oriented

i play 200nl and 100nl and can help lowstakes or same stakes discuss optimal strategy at these limits to help anyone that wants it for dota help. I play with a buncha guys everyday and we mostly play pubs but 3 of em are pretty decent and pretty much rape 95% on all gamemodes and i get so much shit for getting wrong items etc etc. Id say im an okay dota player but if i knew exactly what to get for some heroes id rape.
