Cruising down the street in my six'fo
CrownRoyal, Mar 26 2008
I realized that by quitting poker im essentially taking out of my life the only way i've ever known how to pass up free time since i was 16.
With what little money I have left I wanna learn a new game, it seems like no one plays stud anymore and I don't understand it + it's fixed limit so all signs point to omaha.
I'll probably go busto since I only have $5 left online, but i can redeposit friday and maybe even catch a loan until then.
I know very very little about omaha except that I won an omaha tournament once because im a badass. What type of br management? What's a realistic winrate? Is it really sick swingy like im gonna imagine it is?

Anyone else on the same boat?

first day of nl5
Reload, Mar 26 2008
really rocky start..i'm only playing 6max and i 6 tabled...had a few coolers on my first session and only played an hour, ended up +$3.20.
just played for another hour and a half, really swingy from up 2 buy ins to down 2 buy ins within 10 minutes. ended on a sick heater, doubled up on 3 different tables within the span of 10 hands - AA v K8 on Kxx board, JT v T2 on JT2 board, and another one i forgot.
so i ended the day with +$20 about. good note to leave on
hopefully i'll hit $200 by the end of spring break.
Another live tourney win.
TheHuHu, Mar 25 2008
This time there was a little over 70 entrants, same $100+15 buy-in. Tourney took about six hours and took home $2,850 for first. Everyone at the FT gets paid, which is 10 players.
Noteable hands :
Right before the FT I had roughly 32 (Chip lead) BB at 400/800/100 blinds. UTG+1 with 15 or so BB stack donkey limps as he has done every hand and it's fold to me in the SB. I look down at Ah5s and complete and BB checks. Flop comes 922 with two hearts and it's checked to UTG Donk and he bets pot. I've seen him overbet pot to steal every time it's checked to him and I don't put him on a credible hand at all so I call and BB folds. Pot is at now around 8-9k+ and turn comes 4. I check and he shoves for the rest of his stack which is a big ass overbet and it just didn't make sense why he would do that. When I did see him value bet he bets 2-3 BB each street and shows down TP almost every time. After a long ass time in the tank the only hand I put him on was a flushdraw and definitely nothing more because of his past plays. I called after about four minutes and he flipped over J8 of hearts and river came a 3c giving me the straight and sent him packing home which gave me a huge dominating chip lead like 4:1 to the second place in chips. At this point it was just cruise control to the FT.
Last really notable and sorta funny hand was at the FT where I looked at AA UTG after a few orbits at 700/1500/200 blinds and I had a bunch of $1K blue chips and no one else did and when I was stacking my chips a few blue went into my $500 chips so I take a stack of 10 chips, which I thought was all $500 to raise and just slid it into the middle but four blue chips was at the bottom and it was too late to take it back because it crossed the line so it was a raise to like $7,000 and players two down from me when all-in with around 9BBs, folded to button who goes all in for around 15 BBs and back to me. I obv call and shorty donk had QKo and button had JJ and ship it to me as they both missed and now I have Jamie Gold + Jerry Yang chip stack and after a few more players bust out leaving four left including me, they made another deal that I get first and they chip the rest.
Going back tonight as this is the last deep-stack tourney this has which mega sucks... Tomorrow I'll be going to the Grand Sierra Resort and rail the main event for a bit... I saw Vanessa Rousso (woof ) and Chad Brown there the other day, which is really my first actual "celebrity" sighting so that was cool. Oh yeah, I saw Michael Binger ( I THINK) when I went to the bathroom... he was walking out playing with his phone with an iPod on and we made eye contact and I think he realized I recognized him... Very zen moment .
You guys know the difference

10 Hour Session
Bigbobm, Mar 25 2008
Not much to say. Started running like crap the second I started my session. I think in all I lost like 7bi net with KK vs AA. At around 6k hands in I sent this to a friend,
[22:01] Bob: -9 bi 6400 hand sin
[22:01] Bob: pretty sure im not stopping till im even
Why? Because fuck having red in my PT, thats why. Ship the sick music that kept me motivated during the session, and of course, the rakeback. This is all 50nl btw.

also did it with no bathroom/food breaks and pretty sure no tilt. i tried to tilt once, but i misclick folded and he showed the nuts.
Really down right now :(
CrownRoyal, Mar 24 2008
I'm homesick, I miss my family, I miss my friends.
I can't beat poker since december, my tilt has found a new level and I'm sick frustrated with it all. I think I'm down 3-4k from poker since december which isn't even a big deal except i hate losing and even though i would like to say that it doesn't affect how I play/my mood it does.
I dunno wtf my problem is but I'm quitting online poker and just gonna save my money. I generally would like to consider putting money into poker as investing but I guess I can't beat the game anymore.
I bought a new epic rpg recently that I haven't played much "Lost Odyssey" for Xbox360. I think im gonna go enjoy it.

Project Rebuild - update + Pretty graphs.
Bigbobm, Mar 24 2008
So it's been 2 weeks since I first started grinding 25nl on FTP. The short 100nl session and 50nl heads up session was when Subaru came over my house for a live sweat and I ran pretty decent for that. I probably wont be at 100nl for a little while longer as I want to be able to jump right into 16 tabling and you need quite a few buyins for that. I just recently broke the 2.2k br mark from the original 500 start 2 weeks ago, so I'm pretty happy. So anyway heres like the stats and graph and stuff.

For those of you wondering, I've been 16 tabling nl50 and playing like a huge nit. I hope to keep up the progress for the rest of the month so I can buy that laptop with FTP points that I mentioned in my last update. I'll probably do another update next week as an end of the month update, but until then gl nits.
As for some other stuff going, I'll probably be at Foxwoods for the WPT events, and I hope to have 3 more interviews done (including a special interview) within the next few weeks, so keep checking back every now and again.
fuck me no more donkaments
Sheitan, Mar 23 2008
From now i'll stick to cash games only, i've wasted like 1k in bis already and can't score big for shit, 4h-5h of solid play and your stack is all gone in one crucial hand and get paid what i can make within 100 hands of cash games.
1- it slows my br growth
2- it's such a waste of time you should only register in the bigger one imo
3- luck takes a huge part in scoring big

Wynn Classic: Main Event Day 1
JonnyCosMo, Mar 22 2008
Beep beep beep… the alarm went off at 11:30 Sunday morning, but I snoozed it til 11:50. I kicked brystmar til he woke up, since he crashed on my floor then I walked down to the tournament room. The day before I made a last longer bet with mig.com, actionDJ, and FrinkX for $100 each. I figured they were all drawing dead since I end up lasting forever in these Wynn tournaments since I run so fucking good. At noon, it was surprising how many people weren’t there for the $10,000 main event when the cards hit the air. Of the 9 players registered at my table, only me and another guy showed up on time, so we ended up trading blinds back and forth for 2 orbits. A 3rd guy sat down 10 mins later, then eventually more and more players started to filter into the tournament floor. Eric Siedel was the first player I recognized, as he took a seat to my direct left. Mike Sexton was across the table, and then Toto Leonidas sat down 2 seats to my right. They were known but not really the kind of player I feared… then a player I actually feared sat down: Travis Pearson. For those of you who don’t know, Travis plays the highest games at the Wynn and absolutely destroys them. You can ask around for some stories from people who play regularly with him, but basically I’ve heard rumors of ace-high snap calls in huge pots as he tips the dealer before the cards are even shown. Totally nasty style.
We started with 20,000 at 25/50, I chipped up to 22,000 pretty quickly then I took two huge hits 20 minutes into the first level: I picked up KK and raised to 200 utg, and got 2 callers. The flop came 3-3-4 and I lead out for 500, and the young kid called. Turn came a 4, and I lead for 1200 and once again the young kid called. At this point it felt like some pocket pair that was 55+. The river dropped a 7 and I bet 2600, and he raised to 6000. Puke I folded, and he picked up the pot. A couple hands later, I play a nightmare pot that I totally screw up: UTG middle aged guy limps, I raise to 200 w AJo, and I get 2 callers behind me + the UTG limper calls. Flop comes Jc-Js-2c, and UTG guy checks, I go absolutely retarded and decide to check(?) wow worst play ever? The caller behind me bets 400, Mike Sexton folds, the UTG limper check-raises to 1400. YUCK! So here I am trying to be all deceptive and find myself stuck in a spot where anything I do is going to announce the strength of my hand. The UTG limper’s c/r also seemed really really strong to me which had me a little freaked about 22. I decided to flat call with the intention to fold to any big bet on the turn, and the original bettor behind me insta-folded. The turn dropped a 8d, and the UTG player insta-fires 4,000. This is where I should have gone with my game plan and made an easy laydown… nope! Time to dig myself a bigger hole and call fuck I play so bad. River drops Qh, and he puts me all-in for 11,500. PUUUUKKKKEEE!!! If I call turn I obv should be calling river right? I rag on myself for a good 5 minutes and finally fold and leave the table to cool off. I run into brystmar and tell him what just happened and he gave me a little prep talk to un-tilt me. I took a good 5 minutes off to walk around then came back to the table only to find a new player to my right… Anna Wroblewski. For those of you who don’t know, she is an insanely spewy kind of player who ended up coolering me in a $6,000 pot at 5/10 over the summer. So naturally that kind of puts me on even sicker life tilt, especially since I get chipped down all the way to 7,500 in chips and it was still the 1st level.
Time to refocus: I picked up a few pots and moved myself back up to 9,000. Then I take a huge pot vs Travis when I made a funky play with a flush draw and happened to hit it on the river. That moved me back up to 18,000 which is where I ended the 1st level at. After the break, things picked up for me. Eric Seidel was busted by Mike Sexton, so I had him off of my left side which was nice. I made a quick move vs Mike Sexton, as he had been trying to pick on me all day, so I check-raised turn after he floated flop with obv garbage. Then I picked up AK, and got into a 3 bet pot vs him and check-raised all-in after flopping my ace. He tanked and folded. Then I made a squeeze vs the guy who took the big pot from my AJo earlier in the tournament and Anna with A9s from the big blind. I flopped my ace and busted the middle aged guy when he shoved 77 as a bluff. Ended the 2nd break at 33,000! Great success!

Anna Wroblewski in the center, you guys see me in the purple sweatshirt / black hat on her left?
After Travis busted early in the 3rd level my table broke, obv was on sick tilt as he bluffed off a lot of chips when Ryan Young was moved to our table. I had to say, Mike Sexton wasn’t very good… he was playing close to 80% of the hands dealt to him and although he was aggressive he was definitely spewy. Toto Leonidas on the other hand definitely was impressive. He played a very aggressive game, and showed down a deceptively played monster when he doubled through Mike Sexton. Other than that, he was almost never at showdown and slowly chipped up without getting into many big pots. Anna Wroblewski played a very solid tournament game, and she was pretty friendly / fun to sit next to, as she kept complaining about how tournaments suck and how she wanted to bust but no one would let her etc. She made a really awesome check-raise on the river vs this one guy when she turned middle pair into a bluff, and when the guy made a donk call with a straight (which should not have been good, but obv he doesn’t know how to read the action) she said that she ment to just call which I thought was the funniest level of all time since it was clear that she knew exactly what she was doing by bluffing him, yet cardplayer decided to report it as a ‘mistake in chip denominations’. I basically played no big pots in the 3rd level and ended the level going into dinner break with 38,000.
I took a long ass nap during dinner break, and when I came down (10 minutes late) I decided I was going to pwn bitches. Within the next hour I chipped up to about 60,000 in chips. I picked up QQ and triple barreled the only fish left at our table. Then I picked up 75s, flopped 5-5-Q and killed the poor guy who thought he could bluff me with his last 15,000 in chips. Then started to do my blind steal / running over people until 10 mins before the end of the level. I picked up QQ and raised to 700 at 100/200 blinds and got 3 callers the most active player at our table reraised to 3,200 on the button, and when action got back around to me I reraised to 10,000. When it got back around to him he shoved for 7,000 more and I snap called. He had AKo… and the board comes A-K-X-X-X and I lose a 35k flip. I then pick up KT and flop Tc-4h-2h, and get it all-in vs a short stack who had 9,000 in chips with 8h7h. He turns the flush and I am knocked down to 32,000 at the end of the 4th level which was disappointing.
The 5th level, 100/200 w 25 ante was pretty uneventful as I basically chipped up to 36,000 and folded most of the level. At the end of the level I was moved to a new table with Lee Watkinson, Vanessa Rouso, and internet pro Matt Graham. The 6th and final level of the day was pretty brutal… I was totally exhausted from the long day, and was very card dead for the most part. I basically folded my way down to 28,000 then attempted a squeeze play vs Vanessa Rouso… but she had QQ and pwned me. Was stuck down at 14,000 and opened to 1200 with 8c6c from middle position vs tight blinds without realizing that Lee Watkinson had a retardedly short stack in the small blind. He shoved for 3800 total and I puked. Then called and did a mini-fist pump when he showed 44. GET THERE! I spike an 8, win the flip, and end the day at 19,075! Such a brutal day… probably would rate my play overall as a B- (sloppy), which isn’t very good for my first $10,000 event. But I was definitely happy that I made Day 2 with enough play in my stack to redeem myself at 300/600 w 50 ante.
Went back up to my room and found the girls getting ready to go to Bellagio’s new nightclub: The Bank. Since it was their last night in Vegas, I decided to man up and go out with them. Can you guys tell how tired I am?
