I woke up today and was ready to play, so from bed straight to the computer.

I started the day off well going up $300, then lost it, and was reading how doomer said it would be best for me to play on fullstacked so i filled each stack to 200.

After that I won 5 buy-ins in an hour, but hadn't eaten or showered yet so called it quits.

very nice session;

few nice hands;

I've been asked alot why I'm shortstacking NL200, and theres a few factors to why;

I feel more comfortable on a $100 buy-in
The Salamanca casino near my house has $100 max 1/2, so im used to it.
The pla<x>yers aren't that great
I can sustain a nice winrate there


Heres my stats from today;
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 2741 hands and saw flop:
- 139 out of 414 times while in big blind (33%)
- 70 out of 406 times while in small blind (17%)
- 199 out of 1921 times in other positions (10%)
- a total of 408 out of 2741 (14%)
Pots won at showdown - 64 of 125 (51%)
Pots won without showdown - 328

hahahha. i decided to play some hands before i went to bed and was playing my standard game but i think all the regs had been playing for hours probably and i noticed right away a few of them seemed to be on mega tilt (one guy who normally has like 7 pfr was running 40/30 for the session and raising 6x+bb preflop every so often). Anyways I think I helped add more tilt and played some pretty hilarious hands.

Oh, I smoked all of them. AS PER USUAL, YOU HAVE TO HIT COMMENT IN ORDER TO SEE THE PIC



Hilarious hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281642 - LOL maybe I should fold!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281633 - Not the most standard value shove in full ring

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281624 - Probably my favorite.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281615 - Open to advice on how this was played.


Well, gotta document the good times so when I get smoked I can remember I ran well once despite sucking at poker.

Well i were trying the auto-reload script to i joined 10nl to test it out.

and well... i had fun for a couple of rounds lol i bet i could get like 20bb/100 here LOL.





So this post should be an inspiration to Microstakers and realize if you have a downswing on Microstakes, its because you suck (also on any stake ^_^)

My desktop is all I need, I intend to trick it out with duel 20+inch LCD's..

This laptop can't connect to my free wireless from my house (off a neighboring connection), so I figure its better to just get rid of it.

Its in perfect shape and runs extremely well, its an acer.
You can see it here; (Can connect to cable / wireless / 56k)

any of you can buy it from me via a pokerstars.com transfer.
I bought it for $430 + S&H, I'm asking for $330 + S&H

I've used it twice.
Got it because I was planning on moving to Taiwan, and would need a poker machine. I decided to get a new apartment in my hometown though.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


This is a pretty huge session given that I 4 table. A few hands were probably from yesterday night however.

I was on some sick tilt (although it never REALLY had time to show up in my play, as I fortunately won a few gigantic pots often enough to keep my mood up) due to this fish sitting at 3 of my tables and never evereverever folding to my cbets, always folding to my double value barrels and always calling my bluffs.

Then pokertracker crashed while I was trying to review his hands when he took some fishy strong line and I ended up timing out with QQ only to have him show 52suited for no pair gutshot draw - sick life. Was a hard spot since last time he took a similiar line he showed up with trips, only this time he was in position.

Fortunately he left, so my bankroll didn't die. He truly was destroying me so ego aside it was a good thing he left. Maybe he just ran lucky, maybe he just had me read perfectly, but I honestly didn't have a single read on him after several hours of play

Took some horrendous beats but there's just so many bad players here at NL300 that in the end I finished up pretty big. Some guy decided it was a good idea to stack off with JJ in a 4 bet pot on a king high board.

Allin on turn, K543 flop, the river brought a 2 which was mildly womit inducing until he turned over his JJ :D

Anyway, I'll post hands later maybe, played for like 8 or 9 hours with only short breaks.

Oh, had my biggest ever stack at 1600 :D Would have been insanely close to 2000 as I was allin with QQ vs 99 and JTo (lol), with the 99 being more or less fullstacked and JTo guy having 30bb.

Flop came AKXQX and JT ships it

Ok so I decided to take a shot at 1.5/3 and played a quick session 2 tabling NL300 with 2 x 200NL tables as well (since there's not a lot of 300NL tables).

Made about 1.5 buyins. Took a break for a few hours and started another session.. Bleh, a loot of coolers (AA vs turned QQQ, AA vs rivered KKK, JJJ vs Q8 flopped set vs flopped straight in 3bet pot - lol, and so on).

I think I'm gonna make a thread for some of the hands tho..
EDIT: Fuck it, it's all REALLY standard stuff with just me getting raped by variance, aside from 1 bad fold and maybe a bad call.
Anyway: graph


Will either give it another 2 more buyins or just rebuild until I get to 7000$ again (just 2 buyins at 1/2 really).


I think I should betcall turn here, the guy is 15.7/10.8 with pretty low AF numbers, calls 3bets pretty lightly from what I've seen (ie with 46dd OOP when 100bb deep, played a strong combo draw fast by check minraising). With As maybe c/r (essentially a check call due to potsize), although probably still a betcall.

After cashing out 5k, I ordered a nice Acer 1.6ghz 533 mhz laptop wireless and cable connection built in.

The systems nice, getting used to vista is pretty nice too.

I left myself $175 online and have built up to $1,800.
I'm playing on NL100 right now, and if I hit $1,500 I'll drop down and build up.

I'm going to consistantly do this until my roll hits atleast $2,500, then I should have a very nice comfort level at NL100.

Something thats been bothering me, but at the start of every single session I've been dropping 2-3 buy-ins before winning anything, by an extremely cold deck. Tonight I took matters into my own hands when I was running so bad and made a few very nice plays to help sustain my winrate.

Here they are;
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/277685
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/277683
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/277682
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/277681

Unfortunately, I'm still down 1.2 BI since moving up over the course of 5k hands.

I also just got pokertracker which is extremely sweet.
My PAHud isn't showing stats on the table though, if anyone knows how to fix it plese let me know.

I'm moving into my new apartment tomorrow and for the remainder of the weekend. Its a really nice 1 bedroom place, got a 32inch TV going in there along with my workstation. (Although I probably won't use it much since I just got this new laptop)

On another note, FPP's are coming in at a very fast pace. I ended up using a bonus on stars a few days ago, and already have 10,500 FPP in the bank from the last two days.

(Around 6k hands during that time fr<x>ame)

I'm going to spend the next month solidifying myself as a NL100 pla<x>yer, and hope to learn to dominate there on a daily basis.

Nice to be back bloggin;

I'll keep it updated with some in-depth hand analysis one or two times a week.

PS - goin to buy a PS3 when I hit 50k FPP and take the 650 bonus. Pumped

All the droolers left now so I'm gonna take a break and then come back later :D

Ran like 25/18 which felt really nice, since usually I go into too much auto-pilot and the numbers start to drop, guess short sessions are easier to keep it up in.

Was running 40/30 at two tables for a while without even noticing, but small sample so it means more or less nada.

If I can find some really good tables I'll give 300NL a spin later on today but most likely I'll just continue with 200NL for now.

Sitting to the right of a madman for like 4 hours and not getting any hands can be very.. verrrrrrrrrrry frustrating.

Fortunately, I got him a couple of times in the end.
Unfortunately I ran into KK vs AA vs a reg and donated back almost a buyin (it was less than a buyin cause we were 200bb deep and he played it pretty weakly, as did I).

Fortunately, I ran into KK vs AA AI PF again and the board came all diamonds, so we split the pot. Unfortunately, the flop was King high.

Madman then proceeded to go on tilt but managed to donate almost nothing to me

Longest session I've played this month I'm pretty sure (well, split in 2), at least by far the most hands as I 8 tabled for the first time in a month for about half of it.

I've noticed that I really need to find a way to remove the fold button from my software (even though I had an unusually, for me, high went to SD of 24.4 for todays session, it's pretty low given my 19/16 stats I think..). 3bet instead of call when button opens and I have something like TJs or KQ, I bleed too much money here cause I don't want to '3bet too much' (is there such a thing!?).

Also, I need to learn when and where to bluff raise cbets as I basically never do it (at least not when I go into auto-pilot) and I'm always annoyed by those who do.

So, float more, bluff raise cbets more (but make less hopeless river bluffs..), call less. Oh and cbet less, 6.9 flop AF is overkill.
