2 bad sessions

Well, I've been playing some more NL25 yesterday and today. Going to be pretty short here, but yesterdays' 800 hand session ended at -$4 (though I also spent $21 in tourney fee) and so far today after 650 hands I'm -$28. I did however get my $50 deposit bonus so if I cheat a little I could say that I'm nearly +/- 0.

I recieved some feedback from a good friend of mine (an excellent poker player) and am currently taking it in and I'll probably try to play some more hands a bit later today. I think that my stats are shaping up a bit and heading to about where you want them to be at least, currently at 20(23)/15/3. However, my W$SD is still crap (40), which is about same as my W$WSF.

Some lovely hands from yesterday and today:

Second day better!
  Peligroso, Jun 27 2007

So, after the last few days bad sessions I decided that today would be a good day. Started up 4 tables at NL25 and almost immediately lost 2 buyins vs the probably fishiest player I've ever met, 80+ VPIP and saw flops with K2o even after pf raise 5xBB. The hands I lost vs him was AA and JJ when he had K2o and T4o.

After that I took a short break, wrote a post in the forums here on LP asking for advices about my limping since a few of you commented that I seem to limp a bit too much in yesterdays blog post. I got a couple of good replies with good points and went down to NL10 to try to put it in action by limping less and do more proper raises when I raise. People at this level are too retarded though and in the first 10 minutes I had AA twice and went AI pf both times when opponents pushed with 77 and 88. Do I even have to mention that both of them managed to hit four of a kind?

At that point I had played 80 hands on NL10 and was -$10 there and 300 hands on NL25 with the result of -$53, so was down a total of -$63 for the session.



Instead of going on at NL10 I decided to go up to NL25 again (yes my patience is a bit bad to say the least) to try my luck with my new moves there instead.

I think I finally got a pretty good grip on things, played more solid and ended the session on plus (!!!!) for the first time in the last few days and felt like I actually played really good for a change. Am aware that my PF AF probably still is way too low and I don't really get how I could end up with lower PFR and PF AF during the second part of the session compared to the first part cause it certainly didn't feel that way... I'll try to work more on it next time.



Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219635 (yes, I lucked out... finding it hard to believe!)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219647 (not sure if I played this one correctly, ended up being lucky, but feedback appreciated)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219659 (was a bit worried for overpair in this one, what would you have done?)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219667 (probably todays' worst play, at least in the good session... just lucky he didn't reraise me *cough sucker*)

Anyway, so the session ended up $52 after todays 1000 hands, thanks to a $115 win streak. Not really happy with the result, but pretty happy with the way the session ended anyway.

BR: $786

Terrible first session
  Peligroso, Jun 26 2007

Sigh. Why do I suck so bad currently? First session at NL25 ended after only 450 hands at -$86 which is over 3bi minus.

Going to list a few of the hands, because this is driving me nuts.

Hands like those makes me tilt and do even worse plays like:

PT stats from the session: (very flattering W$SD% indeed!)


Today: -$86

Poker restart!
  Peligroso, Jun 26 2007

Starting up poker again.

Here we go again. It's time for me to take up poker again. I can't say that I've had a long break from it, actually just a few days, but I'm still "starting over".

My last session was the worst poker session of my life. I'm playing NL50 (6 max) and basically I lost $500 in one session, tragically enough nearly half my bankroll. The thing is, I know that I can handle playing good poker, I know the maths and my stats are actually really good.

I'm aware of the problems that I have and they unfortunately cost me a lot of money, and that's what I'll have to change. My biggest problems are that I'm trying to bluff too often when I'm bored and haven't had any action for a while, and while I do think that the bluffs would actually work quite well on higher levels, they fail at NL50 because they get called. I don't bluff all that often, but the times I do and still get called that's where I loose my money.

My other problem is that when I actually catch monsters or semi-monsters I tend to play them too slow if I hit cause I want to maximize my winnings from the hand, but instead I let people with retarded hands hit their straight on the river (example). So basically I win lots and lots of small pots but the times when I actually loose pots I loose a lot of money. I'm aware that this isn't a small issue, because it's basically the basics about "Minimize losses and maximize winnings" that's failing for me, and I think I'll have to play more by the book by being more aggressive and bluff less, at least at this level.

Until now I've been playing at FullTilt, but since I want this to feel like I'm starting over, I'm now going to play on PokerStars (I think the skill level on low stakes there is lower than on FT), even though that means I'll miss out on the lovely rakeback and at the same time I'm starting a new Pokertracker database. I'm starting up with a bankroll of $820 (well, that is if NETELLER reactivates my account so I can actually transfer money from my FT account, or if someone with PS money wants to trade vs FT money, please let me know!) and I'll start at NL25 for now to get used to the client and stuff, but I'm sure that I can handle NL50 even though my Bankroll isn't big enough if you'd go by the book.

I'll try to play about 1000 hands a day and move up to NL50 as soon as I hit $900.

Restart:
Limit: NL25 (6 max)
BR: $820

I was thinking about starting blogging here quite a while ago but I decided that I was too lazy, but I'll give it a go now since I think that some advices by people on this site are really helpful and it may improve my poker.

Will get back to you after my first session!
