Haven't updated my blog that much lately. Did not play much Poker either. Was staying in Frankfurt at my mothers for a week and had to take care of a lot of business and paperwork issues. Played a little poker meanwhile. Was UP around +200$ during that time, very slow. My winrate gradually took a hit from running bad.
Right now I am staying in Berlin at my stepfathers place. Arranging business meetings and getting drunk. My delivery of Berlin's finest Purple Haze will hit me tomorrow. Thus I have prepared and played a rather long session today. Around 1200 hands 4 tabling. The first two thirds of the session really sucked. I had KK 8 times in a span of 600 hands and was ultimately down around 160 BB. Huge bummer... Then took a break, had dinner and drank a beer. Then returned to the tables and the money started pouring into my pockets. Totally retarded Villains paying me out with ridiculous hands . See the graph: http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/3973/85138110fy9.jpg
Pretty happy about the final results. Got really tired due to the excessive amounts of beer consumed while playing poker. Right now I am just randomly inviting people to my party on Facebook. It will take place on the 28th of march. Hot girls included + My new FULL HD Samsung TV and Guitar Hero and couple of bottles of Absolut Vodka. Ship Ship.

Structure is really awesome, with 5,000 starting stack and 25/50 blinds that increase every level. FrinkX ran terrible in the table draw getting Dutch Boyd, Plattsburgh, and a bunch of other online pros at his table. Myth and I ran infinitly good as usual with the table draw. At my table I was the only player who preflop raised in the first two levels. I'm pretty sure they all didn't know anything beyond the hand rankings. With that said, I chipped up to 7k without a showdown then the following proceeds to happen...
25/50 blinds it gets folded to the cut-off who is a donk, he limps, the button limps, I raise to 300 with AA. They both call. Flop comes 2-5-8 rainbow and I lead for 600. Cut-off folds and button raises to 1200. Fuck? This is obv ultra ultra scary from this player and I debate folding for a while. Finally I call, which was probably a mistake now that I look back on it. Turn was a King, I check he bets 1800. I fold and the look on his face kind made me believe he wasnt full of shit. Blinds move up to 50/100, I pick up TT and make a large squeeze type raise to 700 over 4 limpers. 3 of them call. Flop comes J-8-7, they all check to me so I check. Turn comes a 9, gin. Checked to me, so I bet 1300. Two callers...and River is a Ten ball... standard right? Guy leads for 2k, the guy right behind him calls. I fold. The guy who bet 2k had QJ, and the guy who called, played the board with J6? Sweet. I run my stack up to 4kish and then get totally decked at 50/100 when I had my 7 high flush run into a ten high flush. That brings me down to 1200. 20 minutes later, I'm back up to 6k by going to one showdown? I guess thats what happens when your the only player at your table that raises preflop and c-bets the flop, while all your opponents insta check-fold their missed flops. The big pot that happened during that time came vs an old guy, who limped 66, I raises 88 he called. Flop came 2-3-K, he checked and I checked. Turn came a Q. He checked I bet 250 into a 300 pot, he called. River comes a Q, he checked and I value bet 600 into the 800 pot and he snap called 66. When I showed the 88, he thought I was bluffing? Anyways, my table broke a little while later and I get moved to a new table.
At my new table, I have 6k at 100/200 blinds. 1st hand: Pick up AJ, raise and pick up the blinds. 2nd hand: pick up 77, raise and pick up the blinds. 3rd hand: Pick up AA, raise get reshoved, and insta reshoved over the top of that so I snap call. It was 88 vs QQ vs my AA. I hit a set on the flop and hold to triple up to almost 20k. After that it was mostly a really chill table, with the players being bad for the most part with the exception of the big stack at the table (probably the chip leader of the tournament at this time with 40k+) who made a really nasty A9 high call on the river vs another player at my table for a big pot. It was really heroic. Blinds move up to 100/200 w 25 ante, and I start picking up the aggression a little bit from the button and cut-off. At this time I am informed that my good friend [vital]Myth had been knocked out (went down like a champ thou). FrinkX was still kicking with 20k in chips though. The one interesting hand I had was vs the guy who held 88 vs my AA earlier when I tripled up. He got crippled down to 1000, but then cardrack/lucksacked his way back up to 16k in like 3 orbits? So he straddles utg to 400 before looking at his cards (dead straddle since he wont have the option if someone just calls), and I'm like wow ur a moron but whatever. I look down at TT and reraise to 1200. It gets folded to him and he snap calls. Flop comes K-J-6 which is like meh... yuck. He checks and I check behind. Turn comes a J, he fires 1/2 which looked so preplanned. So I figured his range calling my reraise preflop was probably as retarded as his straddle to begin with, and he was aggro enough to be firing that turn with such a wide range esp after I kind of induced it by checking behind the flop. So I flat call. River bricks out with a 3 and he fires 3k into a 6k pot. I hate my life... I think about it for a little bit then finally make the call and he has KQ. Sick. So I get shipped to a new table...
...Hi Ted Lawson. Hi 2 people I've seen on some old ESPN WSOP episodes that look somewhat familiar but I can't put a name on them. Blinds are 200/400 w 25 ante. This table looked a lot harder than my last two tables for sure. Nope, I was wrong! Ted Lawson opens for 1700 in middle position, and I say to myself wtf since everyone is making it between 1000-1200. So fold TT behind him... he gets it in vs a short stack with his QQ vs 88. Good fold me? Then he opens for 1100 folded to him in the cut-off? What? LOL no sir... I look at 74o on the button and decide to shit on his head, popped it to 3200 and he insta folds when it got folded back around to him. 2 orbits later, it gets folded to him in the cut-off and he makes it 1700, I have 99 and I'm like wtf... Is this really happening? Tank for a long time then fold. Blinds insta fold and he asks me what I was thinking about so I told him I folded 99, and he shows TT. So apparently this dumbass has a sick obvious bet tell that I continue to absuse the entire time we are sitting together. Sadly our table breaks and I get moved to non-other than...
...FrinkX's table... and FrinkX is sitting on 65,000 while I have 24,000. We had dinner break and came back with the blinds at 300/600, 31 players remaining at this point. I try and chip up as best as I can, but this new tabled seemed fairly solid for the most part with people repopping me preflop. I hovered around 24k-28k for a while before the following hand happened: I had ATo in the cut-off and raise, and super tight player calls out of the small blind (he was my free blind every orbit up til now). Flop comes A-9-8 w/ 2 hearts, I have the Ah. He checks and I check behind. Turn comes Qh, he bets 1/2 pot. I call. River comes 3. He checks, I pot it. He snap calls and has AK w/ Kh. Ding! I run so good. That brings me up to 48k. Our table breaks, and I get moved to the most heavenly table EVER--->
My new table is filled with all the people remaining from my first two tables that somehow luck sacked their way to this point in the tournament + one ultra tight player that I noticed was a friend of Thay3r's. Sweet ship it! So I chip up to 70k before losing a 60k flip with AQ vs 88, and I get back down to 40k. With 22 players left, I'm raising almost every other hand, really trying to apply pressure on the bubble. Then the key hand of the tournament hannds:
Blinds are at 600/1200 at this point. I raise to 3,000 from utg+1 w/ AKhh. PBDrunk's roommate (who I thought was one of the worst players left in the tournament, as he was one of the idiots from my first table who never raises preflop and was a so passive), has a 30k stack and decides to defend his small blind. The big blind is the guy who made the dead straddle earlier with KQ, who was spewing all over the fucking place, so he auto-calls too. 3-way to the flop it comes 2d-Td-Kd. PBDrunk's roommate checks, Aggro spew monkey donk leads 7,000 into the 10k pot. I make it 22,000 total. and PBDrunk's roommate c/r shoves for 30,000 total... UGGGG!!! So the spewtard insta folds, and I'm pot stuck calling off 8,000 with my TPTK. PBDrunk's roommate shows the worst possible hand for me... 86dd. Sick! Dead to runners. Oh don't worry... Turn 2c... River 2s!!! ZINGGGG~!!!!! I'm like OMFG HOLY SHIT and jump from my chair caz that was one fucking epic suck out and without it I would have been crippled with 10k. PB's roommate takes it really well, and was a nice guy about it. So that pot puts me up around 80k. And from there... well let's just say I wasn't going to be stopped. If people had PokerAce Display on me, I'd prolly be playing something close to 75/60. Our table was 5 handed with 19 players left on the bubble... and the bubble lasted a very solid 25 minutes. And I probably won 80%+ of the pots at my table from 22 players down to 18. It was the sickest feeling. Thay3r's friend was my free big and small blind to my left EVERY orbit for over an hour. It was such a sick bad beat when the bubble burst, as they moved all the players to 2 tables of 9. My table busted three players 10 minutes after the bubble burst and to balance the tables they moved Dutch Boyd to my left. Fuck I heard he's good. So he notices that I'm fairly active, and so on his 5th hand at the table, I open the hijack with K8dd to 4k at 800/1600 blinds. Dutch makes it 12k. I ask him how much he has, and he counts out 44k behind the 12k he put in. O RLY? This is one of those spots I've discussed countless times with Myth, adam001, Day[9], and a bunch of other regs (along with what aejones preaches in his Leggo vids which I've watched like 6-7 times over in the past few days) about how to deal with someone who will try to take control of the table from you. Shit on his head the first time!!! Reraise All-in. He gives off this big grunt, and lays back in his chair, and I'm thinking "yeah caught you mother fucker! this is what you get for 3 betting me! feel the pain!" But when he didn't insta fold, I started to worry a bit. He continues to tank for what seems to be close to 10 minutes while staring at me thinking he's going to get some sort of read, until finally he pitched the hand. So pwned. He proceeds to bust out the very next hand with TT. With 13 players left my table was again the short handed one and I went into over-aggro raise every hand in a row mode. My game plan was simple: Keep raising until one of them snaps and trys to play back. Well none of them tried to play back LOL!!! So I just kept raising! With 12 players left, the player to my right who was giving me walks everytime I was in the big blind, opens for a minraise at 1k/2k. I look at A9o and decide to play it for value. Flop comes J-9-4. He checks, I bet 6k into the 8k pot. He thinks for 3 minutes, giving several signs that he was going to fold... then he called? Odd? From what I've observed of this player, this kind of thinking like he was going to fold, actually ment exactly how it looked, and was never a hollywood act with a big hand. So I really felt A9 was good in this pot, especially when the turn dropped a J. He checked and I bet 20k. He again, gave this weird look and called. River was a blank 3, he checked. I value bet... and he insta folded what appeared to be AK as he lifted his hand. What the fuck? Check-call, check-call two streets with AK high? LOL? I went from 80k to 175k with no risk of busting from 18 players to 10. Then another sick beat happened. With 10 players left, they decided to combine the two tables instead of play 5 and 5.
Final table bubble, and I thought the only good player (from what I've heard) is Bushman who was unbelievably short stacked and to my right. The chip leader was somewhat competent, but seemed a little spewy from what I saw. He likes to bluff a lot though which makes him somewhat dangerous to play. 2 other players I thought were okay, including the nasty player who made the A9 high call. Everyone else was a total loose/passive/station ultra donk that somehow luck sacked their way to the final table. So 3 hands into the 10 handed bubble, I pick up 99 and raise. The spewtard guy who made that dead straddle decides to shove his short stack in with no fold equity with 55. I snap call. It comes A-T-8... turn 5. Ug! And river comes 3 and he doubles up to everyone's dismay as it was past midnight at this point. That hand dropped me down to 130k, which was still above average. I played a very tight 10 handed game, opening only 4-5 hands the entire time, and they were all premiums. The big hand that got me back most of my chips came against some loud mouth kid who thinks he knows a lot about poker? Or something? He makes it 7400 at 1500/3000 blind level. And I call out of the big blind with 76cc. Effective stacks are 130k caz he has me covered. Flop comes 3x-Tc-Ac, so I check planning to check/raise but he makes a retardedly small bet of 5,000 into this 15k pot? So I'm like okay... change of game plan, and call. Turn comes Qc. I check and he insta checks behind. River is Ks, and I check to him and he makes another retarded 5,000 bet. I check-raise to 25,000 and he snap calls. I show him my flush and he starts to get all pissed. Then proceeds to berate me on how bad I played the hand? Like what?
Anyways, finally the bubble bursts when two donks got it in AA vs 99. The spewtard who dead straddled had the Aces and they held to end the night. So tomorrow I'm going into the final table with 188,500. Blinds are going to be 1500/3000. Bushman is crippled at 20,000 to my direct right. The chip leader has 253,000 and is two to my right, which will make it easier to avoid difficult spots vs him tomorrow. The 3 guys to my left are my bitches. I hope they somehow stumble upon this blog post after I rape them tomorrow so they might be able to realize how I somehow chipped up 100k w/o showdown just because they gave me their blinds every fuckin orbit for 2 hours. I'm willing to bet I easily had the most uncontested pots won out of any player at the FT because of my ridiculous table draws. God I run so good with table draws it's unreal lol~! I somehow avoided powerhouses like Mr.Smokey1, TheWacoKid, Gank, and a billion other online pros, and got to play with total donks all day. Easy life.
1st place is $98,000+ . n0rthf4ce has 50% of me though since he staked me... that fucker runs so good! If I win the event I'm keeping the trophy. He can go fuck himself if he thinks I'm splitting that. Ok wish me luck <3
EDIT: Forgot to mention that in the 50/100 level, PBDrunks gets moved to my right and is super low on chips. It gets folded to him in the cut-off and he shoves, I snap call A2ss, he has JJ. But obv I get there when an ace flops and that was it for him.
EDIT #2: I must be really out of shape. Woke up this morning and my right arm is a little sore. I must have been raising a lot? Poker is obv a tough physical sport. Stay fit!
1/3 live, straddle is on. i raise 88 to $20 in EP, 3way to the flop.
Flop: 792r. I cbet 50, get called by a guy who's been kind of quiet, but for some reason seems to be in tilt-station mode. Heads up to the turn:
Turn: T, completing the rainbow. I check, he insta-bets $100 into $160, and raise him all-in for his last $140 or so. He thinks a bit and calls pretty quickly.
River: Q. I miss my straight draw but table my 88, expecting to lose. He stares at the board, gives me dirty looks for about 3 minutes, and mucks. lol, ship it.
Next hand: It's about about 10 minutes before the cardroom is about to close. I have been at this particular table for an hour or two, sitting on anywhere from $1500-$600. I'm opening and 3betting tons of pots pf and being very aggressive on every street. The table is of course full of loose/passive fish and I am basically dozin'. Play is now 6-handed, and I raise A7o utg to $12. We go to the flop 5-handed.
Flop: A99r. Checks around.
Turn: Th, putting two hearts on the board. Two checks to me, I bet $40 into the $60 pot. Folds around to a very tight/solid player in the SB who insta-calls. Heads up to the river:
River: Js. So the board is A99TJ no possible flushes, I have A7o, and this guy thinks for like 30 sec and shoves all in for about $550 into the $140 pot, just about 4x the size of the pot. I have him covered. His range is obviously totally polarized here, and he looked nervous as hell. I called after a couple minutes and he ships his stack over to me. A good way to end the evening.
Dunno what I can tell you besides that I'm the worlds biggest nit. Thats my year so far. I'll do sweat or hh review. I'm not sure on what to charge, so lets say, $60/hr for 100NL, $40/hr for anything under.
My hourly for the year is 130/hr right now not including bonuses cashed fwiw.
Ask if you have questions I guess.
edit: I mainly play 6max, my FR sucks. Go ask BigRed if you play fr
Wow this day was insane. I started out hug over as fuck pwning some 6-max and a little HU. Build up like 3k profit and ended the session. I sit in later to play some HU and get good action on two tables.
First, Im playing this guy whom I know I have played on FTP on the same name. He is spewy and in general a pretty weak player so I was happy to play him. I have to say he ran pretty hot. All in all I think I played well but I couldnt get things going. I dont really remember any hands but this one was the biggest loser:
Given how the match was playing I dont think I can find a fold there. My hand is super underepped and hes definitely bluffing here from time to time + value betting a ton of worse hands.
On the other table I was playing this random fish who sat in with like $375.45 or something. This guy ran like god himself. Im not joking. He was really like dumb agressive always overbetting and making overbet shoves etc. Problem was, I couldnt get a hand to save my life. Its really hard to play back at a guy like this without anything playable. All I can say is that the way he ran he should have been up way way way more than he eventually was. Given how he ran and how he played he completely steamrolled me for a long time. Eventually this hand comes up:
God I was getting frustrated. By this time the guy on my other table had left being up like 2k on me. I tilted a little I think, calling to many 3-bets etc but I figured I had a big edge on this guy even if I was a little tilted. + calling tons of 3-bets against this guy being as deep as we where is never really horrible. He kept pounding on me and on top of that berating me in chat. In the beginning of the match he said something about us being equal in skill(yes I loled) but when he was up like 2,6k he started getting really cocky telling me to leave because "im killing you dude" "youre rubbish" blablabla. I was really pissed but I said to myself. Fuck this. Im going to keep playing good and take all his money.
Finally my patience payed of and I started making a couple of hands:
Finally he left ending up down 1,4k to me. Im really proud how I aproached the situation calm and non tilted and just fucked the cocky bastard. Definitely a good day, Im fucking exausted right now.
ive kept from blogging until i ran better. but since its still not happening, i guess ill just post another inane insignificant vent.
things are really bad lately, keep running into the nuts, the only time i ever made a read on a player pf and 4bet shove "praire hawk", i run into ak vs aa and flop a k x. (lol)
so ive decided to move down, pwn 50nl for a while then move up to 100nl briefly at 12k, then move up to 200nl at 14k when i get more confidence with how i run, not with my game, coz honestly, i know i can play 200nl already with decent success, but i just dont wanna further mindfuck myself by getting terrible results there and playing well, coz i have this fancy play sickness whenever that happens and try all sorts of new and stupid shit. so to keep my sanity, i feel moving down and building "confidence" is best for me. im sick rolled for 100nl but being gay rolled for 50nl is just waaay better. peace
Need probably impossible adviceby CrownRoyal, March 06
so im gonna deposit some money some time in the very very near future, haven't decided how much yet but nothing over 300. I'm pretty excited about this but I seriously have no care for money and losing that 300 on a coinflip or even just randomly wouldn't even bother me, and i think that might be part of the problem. I first of all definitely need some type of help with this cause it makes tilting all the more easier. On the other hand I think it's a really good thing for being able to make it into higher stakes poker, maybe I just need to find a balance.
Secondly I have some tilt issues that I think mostly come from playing underrolled. I am definitely a degen gambler though and if im not playing for something that excites me I get bored and lose focus, so it's an absolutely terrible mix. For what it's worth playing something like nl100 at the moment would be absolutely exciting for me, but I wouldn't ever let myself play that underrolled, i dunno, some weird thing about me.
I know all of the answers to this are gonna be "follow 20bi etc" but is there seriously some way that I can change my ways or learn to have some type of discipline in that manner? I have all of the time in the world to build a bankroll now and no reason to cash out and every reason to climb up the poker ladder because I'm sick confident in myself to do so.

I heard he's good. So he notices that I'm fairly active, and so on his 5th hand at the table, I open the hijack with K8dd to 4k at 800/1600 blinds. Dutch makes it 12k. I ask him how much he has, and he counts out 44k behind the 12k he put in. O RLY?

I went from 80k to 175k with no risk of busting from 18 players to 10. Then another sick beat happened. With 10 players left, they decided to combine the two tables instead of play 5 and 5.
