dunno comment if you feel like you have anything to say, look at my aggression factors or vpip or something, i dunno what they should look like=)
session started off with like a few massive setups/lack of concentration in a row before i could even get comfortable in my chair (actually im never comfortable my setup wreaks)
a few things i remember/learn recently... 1 floating type thing... 2 AK is often good in places preflop (!)
i need to check up on...
pf ranges 6max 50nl
i´ll talk to someone on msn about that i think
i tried playing only from cutoff (not today), and tried playing everywhere (today), and dunno what range i should be reraising on blinds or oop or what range to call reraises with
anyway here are whatever graphs/stats i have for this session
i dunno if the ev graph is indicative of anything, shrug, you tell me
Hello, you seem to have several fascinating qualities that seem to mesmerize me to the furthest locations of space. While I've never even seen a picture of you I'm sure it isn't muchly important because my love flows and falls for you like a waterfall in a beautiful secluded valley full of happiness and eternal bond. You have so many qualities that other desirable females lack. My heart is set and I must have you.
I could rave for hours, but I just wanted it to be known publicly of my love for you and was wondering if we could potentially go on our first date this fine evening.
I really think NL50 is so swingy (I've heard and seen people saying that NL50 was the hardest to climb over while grinding low-stakes) so I am going to grind SNGs and NL25 until I hit 2k then I will play NL100. Wish me luck.

.. to play 6 4 hours of poker a day for the rest of my life the year.
Maybe I'll make it less when the new monitor arrives and I can play more tables, but this is getting ridiculous, a new low point discipline wise. Probably not played more than 9k hands this month, and less than 6k of those were at the 2/5.
I should probably get an excell sheet or something setup and document everything to help me make sure I do this and mark days off etc..
4 hours of 4 tabling should allow me to get in about 1.5k hands a day (I think), and therefore 45k hands a month, which is an acceptable amount.
A night or two ago while scouting out the tables I saw the sickest player on Crypto was 6 tabling 2/5 tho, so I decided to stay away. By sickest I don't mean to say he's the best, simply because I have no way of knowing who the best highstakes crypto players are as I don't play high enough, but Gulkines is simply the craziest player I've ever seen. If you want to see some crazy hands I'd highly recommend checking out his hands posted here: http://www.pokerhand.nu/user/gulkines
Usually I see him sitting at every single 25/50+ HU table, but I guess he wanted a change of pace or something.
Ran into a highlight video of the headcoach and owner (I think) of the MMA gym I joined recently:
By the way, is solemnly vow or solemnly swear better? Google can't decide, nor can the dictionary
Okayy so i couldn't help myself, i had to go to the casino and see the new electronic table of poker. I had a plan: use a solid br management, so i bought in for half a bi at nl200.
First, lemme say that room kicks ass, never seen any other poker room, but this one was awesome. Yesterday we went with my lady and i just wanted to see what live looks like, and god is it soft.
Everything is electronic so i had to make a card and swap it so i could line up for the table, i waited like 10 minutes when i could see my name flashing on the screen, table 4 seat 5. I took my place and i really have to say i love it, seriously. I find it better than online, you can talk to the people at the table, have fun and really think about every hand, it's loooooooonnng but very fun. Or maybe it's because it's my first time ?
Anyway i bought for 100$ and the table was sick soft, i have 1 decent player on my right and 1 aggressive obv internet young player on my left, rest of the table is a mix of weak passive stations and donks.
So the first orbits i try to get used to the screen, you have to confirm every move, this is not a bad thing and avoid "misclick", funny part is you have an all-in button and you can use it to scare the shit out of people. I checked/raised all-in and tried to catch some reaction in many occasions.
Sooo, my plan was to play very TAG, with only half a bi i'd not make any move at all, don't abuse position and hope i hit a good run of card.
After a dozen of hands i fold i get AJs on position, already 3 limpers in the hand, i raise it to 14$, 1 fold, 1 call, 1 fold. Board came QT5 rainbow, he checked i cbet for 20$, he goes all-in. I fold after taking some time, he showed 44.
Nothing exciting happened before this hand, im utg+1 and i get dealt AKdd, loose player utg raised to 8$, i repop him to 24$, everybody folds and he called me. At this point i have like 50 bucks behind and he has 500$. Flop came ATJ with no flush, he tank for a while and checked, i bet 30 and by doing so im pot committed obviously. He started talking to me on what kind of hand i have and why i reraised him pre and maybe i had pocket aces then suddenly goes all-in.
In my mind it was obvious i was beat here, but this was also an automatic call, i only had 20 bucks left and i do hit the board, even if it was ugly and i was 110% beat it was a crying call. I called.
He showed JJ and i was already packing, turn is a Q. GG suckout, he tilted hard and berating me for calling such a board and i didn't even bother explaining i was pot committed and he should have front bet if he wanted me to fold and not check/raise me ai because if i bet, i have to call my last 20$. SOoooo im up to 150$.
This guy was tilting and it affected his play, he later gets involved in a pot with a donkey who was running like Jesus Christ wearing Reeboks air max Jordan, action was he raise pre and got called by donk, flop came TJ5, he checked the flop, donkey bet, he called, turn is an A, he pot the turn, donkey insta-shoved and he called, they were both 2 bis deep. Donkey showed KQo, he had TT, he stand up calmly and said something like "Fucking card rakes sob" very low and thrown his chair back in position.
He was playing so bad and he didnt even realized it, even if he play the hand good against me, checking the flop against this guy then calling an ai was so stupid. I keep folding hands and get used to the screen. Nothing noticable except some people just run good at this game and i wish i had a rush like them sometimes.
Donkey who stacked that guy in the previous hand is involved with an other donkey at the table, he stacked him also with KK , the other fish who was an old guy had TT and went broke on a K high board -_- for 200bb.
I was stunned, they were playing so so bad and i praised Lee and god for a good hand. And that's when i got QQ in EP, i raised it, got 2 callers + 1 caller from the SB who was a very decent player (he had 500$ and was doing chips trick so i assumed he was very good). Flop went A-8-Q, poker pro checked i bet 2/3 of the pot, fold, fold, back to him he insta called. I was like hu-ho, he's drawing to a str8 since there was no flush on board and i highly doubt he was slowplaying aces. I really hope he had bot set but i really put him on a draw. Turn is a brick, he checked and i bet 100$ in the 125$ pot. i sensed he was staring at me trying to get a read or whatever, he spoke to me but i didn t answered, i never answer i just stare at my screen with my cap covering my eyes and i just never answer.
My heart was accelereating so fast, it was a big pot and even if i knew i was ahead i could not stop the stress. He tank for a long long time (there are no timers) and said something like "Give me my out plz !" and called. Was he using reverse psychology ? maybe he was trapping me with aces but i was 99.9999% sure he wasn't. Maybe he was trying to get a cheap showdown and had top pair with a bad kicker but again, i didn't think so.
River is a 9, completing a str8, he immediately checked and a 9 could definitly be one of his out. Pot was like 325$ and i checked behind, he mucked and i raked the pot. Dunno if my check was correct but i've been thinking about it and came to the conclusion it was pretty bad, i should have bet like 1/3-1/2 of the pot to extract value from Top pair, 2 pairs or bot set, he really talked me out of a vbet on river.
Anyway i 4x my initial bi and was pretty satisfied with that, i asked some guy on my left if you had to buy in for the same amount when you leave a table, he told me no and i should exploit it giving a look at my stack, he said "I will abuse it too, you should leave and buy in for 200". I left the table and went to dinner with my wife, she spent like 100$ in the damn machines (mental note:don't bring her with me next time).
I registered again for nl200 and had to wait like an hour it was 8 pm and the room was starting to get very populated. I got assigned the same table but nothing happened for 4 hours, i kept folding rags, got AJ/AQ and raked the pot with a cbet on flop, stacked 2 shortstacks with pocket 9s and flopped top two. minus rake minus blinds i broke even for the second session.
One guy on the table went nut because he got sucked out on and started to threat the other guy and i don't know if you guys played world of warcraft but what followed reminded me the Stormwind guards when you're Horde and get deep into the city... A bus of security guards came out of nowhere to surround the old fat tilting monkey and they got him out of the room. It was midnight and time to go back home with a nice 400$ profit.
I'll maybe go back today since it was really fun and i really want to go there during week ends, games are soft during the week, i can't imagine during week end and when the gamblers are out.
Just dropped 12 buy-ins at NL50...many big pots were coolers / suckouts. I wasn't even tilted. My top two ran into sets, my flushes got rivered by villains FH... Going to drop down to NL25 for a while even though I am still rolled for NL50.
So ive pretty much stopped playing everything besides 3/6 6max the past week. I havent been doing very well and i wanted to buckle down and grind out some profit before moving back to other things.
I just cant seem to do very well. Im for sure running under expectation, but i also havent played my best. I had 1 -4500 session in there, which made me realize that i need to be a lot stricter about my stop losses. I hadnt had a 7-8 buyin loss in a session in a long time. Im reinstating the 4 buyin stop loss for 3/6 and 5/10 and ill use a 3 buyin stoploss for games at 10/20+ in the future.
Barely winning over such a large period of hands is really frustrating. I feel like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 3 when he is training with Apollo for his rematch vs Clubber Lang. You know the scene, where rocky is taking punches to the head from Apollo but is having flashbacks to his first fight with clubber, but he isnt going down because the punches are so much weaker. (gotta click comments to see the video, dunno why videos arent showing up on the main blog page)
Thats how i feel at 3/6 6max. Most of the players are just so much weaker than opponents im used to playing and i see all these awful things but keep getting my head beat in. Im going to keep fighting and work through this. I will keep reviewing all my pots where i lose 30bb or more, look for things i can improve in my game, and keep playing high volume until im comfortable to move back into other things.

Technically, I could do it myself but that would never stick like that time I banned that fucking douchebag TheHuhu and everyone went crying to naz about it. I just want to put this here so other people see it and maybe someone actually does it.
To anyone who doesn't know him, he is a real piece of work. He used to play starcraft under the name "marshallfaulk". This guy used to come into that channel clan x17 and flame and harrass anyone who said anything. I've never seen anything like it. I thought at first he was fucking around but he kept doing it.
