I'm happy with the overall profit and so on, but I'm not happy with myself. I started the month off amazingly well, playing a lot and very disciplined in combination with a great heater. The last 10 days have been pretty shitty though as I got my ass kicked in NL200 and then have played mediocre @ NL100 since that. I've been mass tabling... at first just cause NL100 seemed easy. Then I added more cause I wanted to get FPP's quickly to use to buy a TV. I've lost about 3 buyins over the last 10k hands of mass multi-tabling. Definitely making mistakes and am gonna stop doing that shit. So yeah, I'm happy to have done well but I didn't hit my goals for the month and I think it's more my fault for being stupid rather than the cards fault for not treating me well enough.
I know I had a good NL100 month, that's for sure. But I know I could have done better. I'm not complaining about the result so much as I am about the way I handled myself over the last 10 days. I don't think I gave it 100%... I think I got impatient. I think I tried to rush things. I know I can do better!
i think im goin to give up on my supernova elite quest, the FTP games are so good =]. and the software dont freeze anymore for me i think they fixed it =], sorry lee jones
I am back with a little update of my playing. Didn't play that much i think it is around 700-800 hands. In this small sample i managed to win nearly $50,- It could have been more but my last few hands Lee wasn't on my side
Nice example of that is hand below:
I think i played this hand extremely well. After the $1 call on the flop I did put him on an ace, but i was sure my kicker was better (AK would have been 3-betted pf). I just got unlucky with that river...
Well i am going to have diner now and after that i will play some live sng's 5 euro buyin. We are only with 4 friends so its not that crowded but i think its a nice way of spending an early saturday evening.
Gl all
greetings Jeff
ps. Can anyone tell me how to imbed "spoiler" in my text. It would be nice to imbed my hands in a spoiler.
damn this sux 3rd month in a row i start with a really bad session ....dropped 7.5bi over 1.3k hands UNREAAAL and problem is 3-4 of those bi arent due to bad play or suckouts ... they are lost due to floating CBETs on flop i really cant catch a hand and when i do i either get no action at all or happen to be in a " cooler " like last hand of the day ... set over set that sucked a lot last month also started like shit thought it was worse
Had another fantastic week and just wrapped up a good 16 hour round the world session (I was all over the place with game selection). Took some more late tourney beats this week, but pwned the cash games. Cashed out about 20k this week and 50k all of January. This month we are going to really push with tourneys and try to get a couple big scores. We are trying to get some money on FTP, so if anyone wants to swap us please PM me. I have definitely stopped myself from tilting off 20k in an hour by cashing out excess of 4k every day. However, this month I think I am going to build my roll up to 25k. I want to start playing higher limits regularly. The limit hold'em game is just so weak, I would like to establish a nice 50/100 roll. Having a competent partner has really helped my money management, which should allow us to build a couple 25k+ accounts. Also I played really well at 10/20 this month and would like to continue that throughout the next few weeks.
Lesson of the Week

i can play little to no poker since university
So since I cant seem to win anything at 2/4 and my self esteem is at an all time low I have decided to rape 1/2 for a while.
I will be playing 50k hands on 1/2 before moving back up again. I will update my blog after each session, talking trough some interesting hands and discussing diffrent conceps which I hope people will find helpful. Hopefully it will help me plug some leaks aswell.
I might make a video on 1/2 if I feel like it but I havent decided yet.
1. The commentator is fucking stupid, wtf 4bet pre with AK for "info". lol
2. The young dude from Sweden overplayed AK, cause livefish never limpreraises things that's worse, lol.
3. The "pro" who stacked the young dude and berated him is the worst retard ever. So you can go broke with QQ vs a cold 4bet but not AK vs a limpreraise pf?
Anyone who knows poker knows that HU is truly the purest form of poker. The person who can combine all of the arts of poker (grinding, value betting, bluffing, aggression, acting weak) is the most dangerous person, every single hand. There are some very fierce HU competitors on Pokerstars. I consider myself among the top, but there are still those that I won't play. Not because they are profitable, but because they are fierce. A lot of the players I play are profitable players. I don't mind that. I am not looking for an opponent I can run over or that I can get paid by every time I hit a monster. There are not very many of those players (although when they are available I sit in a hurry). I am looking for opponents that can get set off on bad beats or big hands. It is hard to make big money against opponents who do not get rattled. I agree, almost everyone gets rattled. However, fierce opponents use this "rattled" state of mind to their advantage, adding another element to their game and making it almost impossible to go on runs against.
Playing a rattled opponent is the biggest edge in all of poker. Value bets become huge, sometimes even well over the size of the pot. Today I value bet an entire buy-in with the nut straight and got called by high card king. The pot should have been around 25 big bets, but because my opponent was rattled it cost him over 150 big bets. A pot of over 300 big bets.
I have played thousands of players HU, but there are only a few rock solid players that rattle only lightly. In recent memory I only remember being rattled three times. I got rattled by gp333, who hooked up nuts a ridiculous amount of times on the flop. Just prior I got rattled by t0mson, who kept coolering me on the river and c/ring all in, which i made deepstacked folds to, until about the 4th time. I also got rattled by WhinniePie, but that was probably 4 months ago. These guys each cleaned me out for over 4-6 buy-ins.
I learned from these mistakes I made. I confronted my flaws. It is not easy to stay calm and collected. I, in fact, still do hardly that. I get extremely pissed and energetic during a match. But I can control myself. I know when to push a hand hard because I look rattled. I know when to lay hands down because the opponent knows I am rattled. I am not saying I am a model player and know exactly what to do nor am I bragging about my skeeelz. I am saying that I am learning how to control these emotions that tie into the game. Tilt is an awful awful part of the game. But it can be used to your advantage. If your opponent thinks you are rattled, he thinks he can VB the garbage out of you and make ridiculous pot sized calls with marginal hands.
I spend a lot of time watching matches. Finding out which regulars tilt and which do not. I remember in my mind who can be rattled, who cannot, and what players tend to do after losing big pots. Right now there are about 10 players that come to mind that I won't play. There is no reason. I can find other matches. I can rattle other players.
The more big pots I lose, the easier the next one becomes. If you ask me which player would be better in a heads up multi-table match, I would bet on the one who has taken the most bad beats.
Hi. i've been playing 25nl at ps for a month now, did pretty well january, moved up this feb. Play mostly FR, and hope to get to 100nl by march, then 200nl by april. Pretty steep but I guess it's attainable, coz a lot of people with less skill have stayed there, just by doing proper br management. I play a shitton of hands everyday, so supernova is also one of my main goals this 1st half of 2008, vpp this YEAR is like 20k already (wtf?) just by playing 25nl and some 50nl too. I'm pretty overrolled for 50nl but I think I'm going with talentedtom's 100bi rule because I hate moving down a lot. So i guess it would be wiser to just totally crush one limit over and over before moving up to another. gtg yo ^^
be posting ptracker everyday so ppl don't flame pls
The shortest session in my lifeby Ezekiell, February 02
Yes, i had the finished the shortest session in my life just 1 minute ago. It was 4 minutes long. 4, yes. You could ask, why did i stop. Obv, i lost, and im on a lifetilt now. 5 buyins down to these idiot fuckin monkeys. I cant take this shit, i will kill someone today, thats for sure. The idiot calls a preflop allin with JQo. WHY THE FUCK??? Ok, aces cracked, no big deal. Next hand: UTG on tilt, raises allin to a 15 cent pot, i snapcall with KK, he has AA. Fuck you all... and ofc, the good old set over sets 2 times, and a runner runner straight flush vs flopped nutflush. How do you handle these tings, cuz i feel like raped now... I cant get over it. How do you do it?
