one of my swingiest days in recent memory. Super run good -> run poor/some spew -> run good again. FINALLY ftp letting me run good hopefully it just isn't a 1 day phase. I actually quit at the very bottom of the V pissed off as hell, then started a night session with only one goal: winning it all back.
Just got done watching it.
Well, Im not going to say the movie sucked ass cause defenetly it wasnt that bad. But being good? give me a fuckin break! Anyone who thinks that Batman Begins is a very good movie is out of their fuckin mind. Lowest point in Nolans film career IMO.
I hope Dark Knight will be better. Im gonna go to taht one tomorrow.
im still rolled for 200nl but I just cant fuckin win in the past two weeks. Im down like 6-7k playing 200nl. Almost all of it to ridic beats. AA/KK to set in reraised pots. Top 2 vs str8/top 2 vs set/flush vs set.
The fucked up part is that I cant get my money in good~! I have obv had shit ton of suckouts and stuff but thats not the real problem. I mean it sucks but still im mainly down because of the cases that the money is going in when Im drawing nearly dead or very very close and I obv miss!
I was up around 9k at 200nl in July before this shit happend. I have really no idea what da fuck Im doing diffrent compare to the first two weeks of july.
Anyhow Im moving down to 100nl to see if I can win a hand or more importantly my confidence back!
Got $40 from a friend on stars. Been playing sngs for about a week and half now. Can't play that many because of work but I'll get a ton in once internship is over/before school starts.
Gonna keep posting graphs here to help myself see progress. I wonder if there's anyway to track sng stats or something. I like cash games better but I'm gonna do sngs until I hit a serious downswing or have a decent roll for nl25 bye.
Live Tournament and Shots At 25NLby jewlian, July 26
Hello faithful readers, lets start with the shots at 25NL so far...
It has been going okay, I have plenty of leaks I have to fix. I've been going back down to 10NL after I'm feeling a little spewy to gain confidence and de-tilt. The biggest problem I have so far is with the short stacks. I give them absolutely no respect and try to "outplay" them by 3betting and whatnot. Simply put, I should be trying to nail them with solid hands and destroying them with my superior kickers. Against normal stacks, I've been trying to adopt a LAG style of play. This is -EV to me at this point because I simply don't have the skill to play it proficiently but because of a few heaters, I've been able to be up.
In order to counter this behaviour, I've been playing a little tighter to be prepare for some variance. Weirdly enough, I find that there are more spewtards at 25NL than 10NL. I'm playing on Titan (which I'm assuming is soft compared to PS/FT) and there seem to be more nits at 10NL. I would like to give credit to Ryan Fee's Guide To 6max, which I've been studying for a bit. Double/Triple barreling (guide shows you how and when) might be too fancy for 25NL but I've gotten away with some decent pots using it. Trying to balance being fearless and not spewy, finding it difficult to do so.
Here are some stats so you guys can berate/advise:
10NL
VPIP: 25.1
PFR: 20.3
AGG: 5.37
3BET: 7
25NL
VPIP: 27.3
PFR: 22.5
AGG: 5.95
3BET: 6.5
Now for my live tournament...
My friend is going away to HK for awhile so we've decided to organize one last tournament. There's going to about 30 people with a buy in of 25$ each. I'm not bragging but I think I'm a favorite to win, considering most of my friends (and friends friends) are fish. I've been playing some donkaments on PS recently to sharpen my game but I'll have to admit, still pretty bad. Hopefully the tournament turns out nicely and win some money :D
Well, I've not found the place I wanna call home for the next year or two yet, so I'm kinda visiting/staying with my parents til I do. This actually turns out to be a really good short term thing for all parties involved as I need to get my once VERY VERY athletic dad back into a workout groove (and I need it too)
Went to an Astros game which was sweet, at least while I was there. We sat in the dugout section, which is a perfect view as well as about 30 feet from where George Bush Sr and his First Lady sit, right behind the ump and catcher. It's pretty cool seeing the First Lady with her feet propped up enjoyin the game, dunno why, just is. Unfortunately we ended up having to leave in the 8th which sucked but when we left we were winning. Come to find out however, the Astros apparently gave up 7! runs in the top of the ninth and didn't respond at all. wtf.. talk about runnin bad at the last second.
But for me it was a blast and if things get settled and continue to run good by the start of next season there's a good chance I'll buy season tickets.
On another note, before I moved from Florida, I had ordered my third! power adapter for my camera. The first one I had I left in a hotel in Austria. The second adapter I left with my ex as she had the same camera and had lost hers. This one I hope will be the last one I ever buy again for this camera....ever
But the point of this is I can once again take pics. But forewarning, I'm srsly fucking horrible at it. I've even been told quote, "You are the worst picture takerer ever!"
Wanna take bets on the gender of the person I just quoted?
So anyhow, pics shall come! sometimes~
Alright, my beer is finished, and so so am I in this blogging. I was gonna talk poker but I'll just post the graph and brag that way
After being down 6(!!!) buyins in cash games i turned to tournaments and used my LP.net free Fulltilt money to enter the FT 1$ rebuy tournament, and finished 4th making up a hefty 12 buyins(for .10 table, 119 dollars to be exact).
Thank you LPnet!

i havent been able to deposit on stars for the last 3 weeks because i changed banks and my new atm card doesn't upload onto stars, so i haven't really been able to play at all lately,
since last night, I gave you'llcallme a hand winning his tournament and he shipped me $30 for a tip for helping him.
So today I take the $30 to the tournament circuit and luckbox a 2nd place in a 2.22 2x tournament for $600.
My roomate (gsr_01_integ) had 5% on me (as i did on him), so after that i clear $588 from $30.
I'm going to be playing alot of tournaments on stars and staying away from cash for now on. im sufficiently rolled to play up to the 5r and multiple $10 tournaments, but not the 10r just yet.
