Down 1.2k~ (down about 5 buyins at NL300, up 1.5 buyins at NL200).
Didn't tilt, despite running sooooooooooooooooooo bad at one table (I had the worst image in the history of poker, but I couldn't leave that table because there was a 70/50 retard sitting..).
HANDS..
Winners:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298445 - Blah, turn call is kinda --- But TP and NFD vs a complete unknown.. I didn't want to raise on flop cause UTG was still in, and on turn my equity isn't great.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298446 - A bit worried about a check/raise from the guy who did, but I figured I wanted to build a little pot + good flop to cbet since he's almost certainly 3betting good aces. Turn raise was too big by me.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298447 - One of the worst players I've ever seen -_- He ended up donating 2 buyins on an ace high flop with tens..... Not to me tho.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298461 - A little bit lost on turn, but I decided his most likely hand was a big pair with a diamond in it, I figure KKK, AdKx raise flop.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298453 - Soooo frustrating, I can't raise anywhere because this guy doesn't fold >ANYTHING<. Said he had A2.. ._.
EDIT: Talked to Grot and I think this was a bad turn call now, thought my equity was better.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/298474 - Blah, the guy is completely fucking retarded, should probably have raised turn even though I didn't think he had a flushdraw (little afraid of limped AA..). EDIT: Ugh, for some reason I thought he made a huge raise on the turn.. I must have been distracted, that smallish raise he made is much more likely to be a flushdraw
NL300 is SOOOOOOOOO SOFT, but I can't win there.. Still comfortably rolled for it but fuck it, I'll stick to 1/2 for the duration of the month I think..
At least there I'm running at like 4.8bb/100 ._.
I wish the fish had all left when I was like half a buyin away from even.. Poker variance really sucks when all you can do is bet for value and check fold because you are playing vs complete idiots who won't fold anything ever
And yes I realize it's only like 4 buyins (well -5 at NL300 and up about 300 from NL200) but it was just one of those really shitty, disappointing sessions.
so totally in a groove right now, my mind is clear and im playing great. I'm reminding myself of last summer and I think my results are backing that statement up.
I played a few hands poorly, but overall made very few mistakes.
should be at nl50 pretty soon
Had $10 in my account two days ago, played a $2 6max tourney, got 2nd for 350 or something.
played 2k hands of nl25 last night, won only 75 cause i suck at poker and spew money like a stupid retard.
worked today, got back to the dorms after almost going home tonight cause of fall break at school, played in like 13 MTT, moneyed in most of them, just won a $4 180 man and im on the final table of another one right now.
Soooo a few days ago I decided that hey, playing heads up would be fun. Played a tiny mini session 2 days ago, ran hot, won a buyin. Played a long session vs some maniac who would 3bet every hand and never fold to 4bets..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/295333 - had a read he would check behind any strong hand on the turn so I decided to shove. Unfortunately he had a pair and not air.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/295342 - I thought he had a draw here, but turns out I rivered his KT. This led me to doing the same thing again later in the session.. with the same result.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/295797 - Plan was to float, possibly pickup a clubdraw on turn, and bluff river if he checked twice (which I felt he might). When second heart appeared I knew he continues betting with 1 heart so I decided to proect and raised him. Blah the betsizing should have tipped me off tho.
Ok so at this point I decided I suck at heads up, so I played some 1/2 6 max instead, where I proceeded to run at like 40/30 for a while (settling down at 30/28, and eventually ending up at 24/21 total).
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/295993 - Very low AF on later streets IIRC, so figured I could safely call and check it down if he didn't have me beat.
Bought a pretty watch a couple of weeks ago, nothing expensive (about 250-300$ I guess?) but I thought it looked nice!
I'm gonna give heads up another shot later (as in much later, as in a few weeks..) most likely, cause it's fun, and I think I'll stick to 1 table. I start playing waaaaay too fast even when just 1 tabling.
Also, I think I'm gonna try to learn how to play limit (watched some Stoxtrader and Schneids limit videos and it really looks very fun), not sure what stakes I should start at to learn tho. My whole limit experience comes from playing the lowest stakes on stars for fun (those have to be the softest games anywhere on the planet btw).
YO, I AM REAL SICK AND WE HAD A CO2 LEAK AT MY HOUSE SO WE HAVE NO HEAT OR HOT WATER SO ITS ROUGH TIMES AND STUFF BUT GOOD THING I GOT A JAM LIKE THIS TO HELP ME GET THROUGH IT

left myself $100, going to turn that into $500 and play on 100 bi's for now on.
I didn't want to fullfull the profecy of everyone saying i was going busto so i cashed out and will learn from my mistake of playing on a shallow roll and do things right this time.
Anyways, its nice having that comfort level and having my first apartment that I didn't have any roomates, very comforting.
Gonna go smoke a fattie now n watch the tube, gl guys.
it has 'open pk' meaning you can go round killing people when you get tired of levelling, which is fun if you like being nothing but an asshole in your spare time.
