Had no idea I was up that much early on, but had another of those AA vs KK vs KK hands so I guess that explains it. Very very carddead for the middle stages, and started getting a headache/felt hungry/a little tilty towards the end.
Should probably bring some kind of snack/fruit/energydrink (lol) with me before sessioning
Didn't feel like I played great so I guess I'm happy to still be up almost 3 buyins. Need to fold BB less, need to steal BB more.
Annoying hand:
3rd hand at table, he does the classic 'timebank..... SHOVE'. I soooo wanted to fold. Given that he's 12/8 I'm not sure betting this flop is the best move, probably check behind and go for value turn river. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/331867
I'm gonna get berated for this hand but... http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/331735
I actually tanked the river ;P A million to one with a set but thought he had JT
Oh well, I'm glad I ended up calling!
my characters face started to piss me off so i made a new one on other server with a less gimpy look lol
using melee (sticking to axes if i can, 2h sword doesnt look so good really and is really common) coz guns are like twice as slow, do half the damage, and you can only use shitty armour (guns blow)
went to staff party yesterday night, like 100 people there. got stopped by police on the way coz of lights but let us off with a warning coz ´li was honest =s funny coz i was ready to believe he had no insurance, the car was stolen and there were drugs in the back etc. hung out with val most of the night, was good, nothing too embarrassing, or i didnt notice.
seriously rednines is fucking piece of shit garbage rigged what the fuck is this shit

FUCK rednines and fuck poker and fuck life
edit - ended up breaking even with 1 big hand, qq vs i'm assuming aj? flop was like 3 7 j, turn 7, river 7... stacked him. whatevz. i'm on tilt right now so i'm gonna sleep (or watch my brother fuck up his friends car or something)
edit2 - lol i just woke up and reread this, i must've been on serious tilt to post this
So obviously my last night adventure didnt teach me anything ...
Gawdawaful sent me the link with I Bet You episodes, i insta-called and have been watching them on an off since 2 hours ago
I seriously couldn't stop laughing at this one. watch this show from episode 1
So far this December, I feel like I'm running really sick bad. This is not a joke. But in reality I can't be running that bad...
In all fairness I'm probably running pretty good. It's just very frustrating to be -4.5 buyins on my PokerEV grapher, and only winning 46% of my showdowns. When your playing, you can actually feel that equity lost everytime you get someone all-in dead to 2 outs on the turn and they get there. It's sick But I feel like I've adjusted well, I'm playing tighter than normal, not tilting, playing shorter sessions more frequently, and I feel very in control when I play. Implementing a stop loss (thanks for the idea sbrugby!) has really helped this month as well.
On a funny note: My PT says I'm a losing player from the hours of 5pm to 10pm at night my time (PST). But I'm destroying the games from the hours of 4am to 10am. Weird? Europeans really need to learn their poker. They are significantly worse than the regulars in the evening hours.

Ok, so ever since I started this challenge I decided to never check my cashier or PT while playing, just so I could play without focusing on wether I'm up or down. I've managed to do this for 7 days now, and was completely in shock when I opened my cashier after todays session - I was up like 3k! I thought I'd be up around 1k~ perhaps, this was better than expected
And a weekly graph:
Maybe some hands later, I ran pretty well about halfway through todays session (ORLY?), after starting out not flopping anything for 2.5k hands, I was suddenly flopping boats left and right.
One poor guy ended up losing with AJ to quads (he 3bet me 3 handed, I flop set on a super dry flop and call in position, check check ten turn cause I think he has nothing, or at least the ten is a little scary, he instasnapshoves A on the river), top 2 in BvB vs my bottom set (he raised me on the flop with top pair and then turned his 2 pair), as well as KK vs AA for a bit over a buyin.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/330943 - I was considering just mucking this flop, but meh I stupidly raised after thinking for a bit. The guy behind me snapshoves, which the only other time I've seen him do, he had a straight (almost the exact same board too). He's a fish but I was 99% certain he never has anything but the nuts here (meaning I'm drawing to a running boat or maybe if I'm lucky, to a queen).
Now I'm gonna watch the new CTS vid.
EDIT: Checked my pokerev and I'm definitely running a little hot, not a super big difference but a few buyins.
Then again, I didn't really need pokerev to tell me that I ran well today haha
Last night I was about to go to bed but I was a bit hungry, so I made myself a sandwich and thought I play some PLO for like half an hour (inspired by PAs interview about PLO).
I played .25/.50 cause I am not that good, but I ran like god. up $200 in 20min then naturally things were breaking even and before I know it I was -$400 4 hours into the session. Played another 2 to take it to -$100... its really not the money even when I was down 400 i didnt care but i wasted 6 hours and this instead of studying for my final tomorrow.
Note to self: Dont ever let this happen again
My discipline sucks for studying.

fucking called me with j8o
same guy hand before that called 74o and flops 2 pair vs AA all in pre
Alright so after literally feeling probably the worst I ever have in my life on sunday-today and after losing over 1k im practically busto, but im sick motivated thx to midian.
I'm happy again and I think im gonna try to log some huge sessions over the next couple of days and hopefully by the end of december I can have a decent roll again.
I'm not gonna use any pussy 20 buyin rules either, i'll be moving up AT least by 15 buyins for each level, probably more like 12 though.
start the degen comments asaply. I deserve them thoroughly for being a moron/pussy.
nl2 here I come? ugh.
edit - why the fuck did I let that shit upset me so badly? I literally did nothing but waste a fucking week of my life and lots of money that I iosalfj

There's about 500 hands missing but the amount won/lost is pretty darn close to correct. One of my biggest days actually (I've never played more than 4 tables of 1/2 before, and I usually never played long sessions 4 tabling, so I think my previous biggest win was like 1200 or maybe 1300).
I played extremely tight honestly, I don't mean I was a complete nit, but well below what I usually play. I think I fixed some things i did incorrectly yesterday, and while I probably played a little less than the optimal amount of hands, the results were quite good.
It also helps that I ran pretty good in QQ vs AK situations
hella bad beats, damn major downswing! started the day off with 500, brought it up to about 650, back down to 500, cashed out 275, down to 100, which is what i started with thanks to rakeback
i tilt too easily off bad beats. people catching trips or two pairs after they go all in vs me (with garbage like k2o) then i go on crazy tilt and donk off my chips
hopefully tomorrow is gonna be better. time to grind $5 sngs like crazy
Dec 5th was a nice day, I totally bombed my final exam, came home had a nap. got up and was ready to flip for starships.
ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE I PLAYED!!! well cash, maybe HU here and there for 15min but I opened up 18 tables... too fast had to cut it down to 16 and go back up to 18 after like 400 hands but results.. actually one of the best results i have had, 4-digits days are usually downswings
had one cooler which is included in my hand story, and I was totally fucking around in the beginning (also included in posted hands). this could have been like +$1500 day actually
Illuminoustrious decadations of swimming assassins
CrownRoyal, Dec 05 2007
What reasons are questionable as to the crimson skies. Should I stay, or should I go, should I flutter as a young blossoming freebird or decay myself as to sending the pain below. Dissonance and bliss, Freelance and determined destiny, the foreverness and eternity, the dog-eat-dog society.
My counterpart and interactions of wildlife society, the lessons as to which life will deter into cynical deductions. The destruction.
The beauty of harshness and the cruelty of the sword, the spear, and the hand of mankind.
