Being the life nit that I am I played only 2/4 HU for my first session today. I played 4 tables while watching apathys new HU vid on leggpoker.
As Im grinding the nitlife out a familiar face sits down on two tables. Hes a guy I have played a couple of sessions against on 2/4 and 3/6 and he just lifetilts me so much. Last two sessions I have played against him he ran hot in the beginning and I got really frustrated and dropped more cash on him. He is very passive, stationy and tight preflop. I real nightmare to play when you are down money and frustrated so I have probably dropped like 3k total to him in a few days.
Today though, I felt really calm, collected and was playing really good. I just decided I wouldnt let him get a lead on me early on so I just could abuse his nittyness and frustrate him into monkey tilt.
It started out really well, I grindend him down a couple of hundred bucks on both tables and finally stacked him at one. Just as this is happening I hear apathy on the video talking about how you should take shots in passive HU games even though you are not rolled for them and how you shouldnt just grind one limit like a retard(like me).
Just as apathy speaks this truth the now notably frustrated passive fuckbag asks me If i want to play 3/6 instead. I obv accept having momentum and just having a huge edge on him in general. When I accept to play 3/6 he instantly wants to play 5/10 which im not really comfortably rolled for but I say, wtf apathy I trust your wisdom.
We end up playing one table of 3/6 and one 5/10 and I just stomp him to no end at 5/10. He was tilted and made some really bad plays, I played very solid and ran good ship it!
May is going really well and if nothing terrible happens it will be my best month in a long long time. Its a fucking relief after grinding like a madman for alot of months and really putting in some serious fucking effort but still just ending up with mediocre/bad results.
once in a while i feel the need to play some tournaments
... i always regret it ...
- 45$ the last 2 days playing 15+1freezeouts and 3+3r $ rebuys ...
looked good today and i had 15,7K chips at first break with 100/200 blinds being 21 .... 340 people left.
then i lost TT preflop all in vs 7K stack who shoves with AJo and after that i tilted away the rest ...
>_<
no news on cashgame
i ll play some in the evening before TSL
Fuck all of you tagfish fucking regs that love getting it in with shitty fucking hands and hitting, especially you you piece of fucking shit that thinks 54o is a good hand to 5bet after I cold 4bet you. Fuck you, and fuck your moms. I need alcohol.
Things to improve:
1. PFR - at least half of the VPIP
2. Cbets - 50% of the time
3. Open up in position
4. Do NOT stack off = fold overpairs
5. Do NOT call too much = raise or fold
6. Try NOT to hang myself ( =) )
idk why i posted this, but i won't be on for the next 4 months. Not that any of you knew me.
why do i get the feeling that this is -ev. lol.
on a lighter note, i went to Morongo(a Indian casino in Southern California) a few days ago, bought in for $250ish(at a 2/5 table) and cashed out $1850 =] i run good i guess.
Anyways, goodluck everybody. When i get back from Basic Training/Boot Camp, they are sending me to a computer school for a year, i'm sure i'll be playing poker EVERY night.
So Im now in connection flight in LHR. They've re build the place since the last time Ive been here which was one year ago. It actually looks pretty cool since LHR was the 2nd shittiest airport Ive ever been to(first one being LAX in LA). So I immidiatly bought a plug converter so I can charge my laptop. I bought basically a piece of plastic for 8 fuckin pounds!! I bought the same exact thing for Europian plugs in Vancouver for 0.5 pound!
After I got the laptop charging I decided to connect to internet and thats another like 8 pounds for 3 hours. I go bored surfing the net and VOLA next thing you know Im playing two tables of 100nl. one HU and one 6max. I ended up like $200. I wish that every investment in my life turned out like this! I decided to stop and go get sth to drink.
Looks like it's a curse on me or something... Today I couldn't win one single 80-20, OR BETTER! I really mean it. I'm not playing junk hands, or doing some gambling, no, I'm playing like a nit, only with premium hands and even if I hit I lose the pot. For example JJ on button, I raised, guy reraised me and I called. I hit my set on a dry flop, villain led, I reraised, he called. A on the turn, board had two clubs, I shoved, guy instacalled and hit his fuckin flush on the river.
Next... smallblind minraised, I called with T9s, I hit my straight right on the flop. Villain leads, and I shove since he is short. Instacall again, the turn paired the board, villain hit his boat.
Next... I'm UTG with AA and raised a standard 3xBB. Guy on button reraised, bigblind called, and I reraised again. Button folded, BB called again, wtf. I hit my set on flop, potted flop and turn! and villain shoved on the river with ridiculous ods, so I called and he turned over Q6s, queen high flush without any fuckin pair and called two potsized bet.
On the button, KQo in my hand, flop came KQ9, I bet the pot, villain called. Turn Q, i hit my boat again, and I bet 2/3 of the pot, villain instashoves and I Phil Hellmuth instacall, river is Jh the 3rd heart and I laughed inside cuz maybe he has the flush... yes, the straight flush.
