Today when I woke, something didn't feel right..I think I was due
so instead of going back to 1/2 when I felt a little off, I decided to just drop back down to .5/1 for a bit.
This was a smart move that saved me a few hundred I think because I couldn't, for the life of me, win any pots over 50bbs. I then started to get frustrated, made some really dumb overvaluing plays, and before I knew it, I was about 4 buyins down.
I made myself take a break, smoked a cig, and came up with a plan.
Once back my first stop was the cashier, making myself a really nice cashout, leaving me very very very little. Did I say little? I also ordered an Apple Ipod Touch from the Pokerstars store. Hope it's as cool as it looks. I then started over....fresh in mind, body, but no bankroll lol at NL25
First started at two tables, then to 4. If I lost a buyin or two there, I'd drop down, and rape my way back up. But luckily, I didn't lose. So I decided after goin up fairly fast, to go on up to NL.50.
Worked great! Before I knew it I was up like 4 buyins there. So let's go back to .5/1, it's just as easy, I've raped it plenty... But what in the hell, again, same stuff, sets no good, flush hits but board doesn't pair. This happens more than once yet again, all leading me into making a REALLY big and bad shove call that was more out of curiosity than anything else and I'm exactly where I started before NL25.
I had to laugh, this was pretty damn funny actually.
So round three, back to NL 25, and shortly after a few buyins, again back to NL 50. A few hours later and I'm up to where I was before I retried .5/1, but I'm tired...and so my work days over. It's now time to eat and get ready to travel to Detroit tomorrow to see my family. Good timing too, I need some kinda life outside poker.
So with that, I leave with my first losing day in about 2 weeks, and leave u guys w/ a family pic
I can't win NL400 FR and I'm getting owned.
Everyones 3-betting PF, reraising flops, turns, rivers, when i make a stand they always have it, bleh.
Can't really blame it to variance anymore, I always get caught without a hand or even a pair it's so SICK.
WTF IS THE WORLD COMING TO.
Here's my graph, the winnings are from NL600, but i've just run like god there, im at 28.55 bb/100 over 1k+ hands so it's a joke and obv not sustainable.
What do you suggest me T_T. I'm thinking about becoming a full time donkament player, or trying to get pooruser (99% impossible), Myth (98% impossible, dont even answer msn t,t), nolan (97% impossible, he's a big star now) to teach me some of their secrets for success.
I would think about Russel (loosefer) or D_Zoo as well but their "style" I already know from FR, it's basically the same as I, I'm sure the postflop play of them is greater than mine but still, I would like to learn another style if possible, Idk, im lost.
Ah, i'm kinda down, need some kind of light! I feel my play is so mediocre and I hate it... T_T
Ok so I got home to this shithole of a town that my parents live in. There's nothing to do but poker and I'm running worse then ever before in my life. I'm down 5.5k Euro since I got home and I'll have my first losing month ever, I guess. I'm down 1k in hold'em and probably a bit in omaha too, might be more cause I don't think pokertracker really understands the difference between euro and USD. I'm starting to think that I'm playing bad but I can't just stop valuebetting just because I'm getting checkraised every god damn time I bet top2 or a low flush on the river. I think I call to much also, "ok, he can't have it everytime, I need to make a stand" is not a good line of thought vs ppl who runs like good. I gotta get a stop to this so I'll move down and play only 1/2E untill I've won 10 bi on that level or until I get back to Uppsala again, where I can play good and actually concentrate as I should.
I also got a shitty result on my big exam, which is about what I deserve for not studying enough, and the stupid black girl sent me a sms a few minutes ago telling me that she "forgot" to see me to day and wanted to hang out tomorrow. I'm really annoyed with that because she could've at least have told me a bit earlier, so I decided to be a man about it and delete her phone number and her msn. I don't care how nice of an ass the chick has, she just can't treat me like shit and get away with it. Faggot.
never wud have thoughtby Ibsu Bai Hui, December 20
never wud have thought id be thinking "oh, 9am isn´t such a bad time to have to get up tomorrow morning"
what pissed me off today was seeing a 1-2 minute advert on british tv inbetween Carry On Cowboy. it was EXACTLY in the style of one of those "save the dying children in africa" adverts, except it was for DONKEYS. i actually loled half way thru it was so surreal and pathetic. with that sad music and emotional imagry and video footage of a burdened donkey, toiling its load then lying down in the desert sun gasping for breath, just 3gbr/month can help improve a suffering donkeys life for good.
WTF
theres a similar thing in the Home i work, a big pamthlet in multiple places, with the words "Dónt forget the neglected domestics animals when you come to write your will" followed by pictures of terry the puppy (and many others) who was restored to health thanks to your donations.
I'm just starting out in poker and I've been reading but not posting much on the site. I don't want to get kicked off the site but I was looking for a stake to play on pokerstars. I'm just looking to play NL.02/.01 and 1.10 sit n gos. I promise that if I do make money i will give the stake back plus 50% profit. I am just asking for 1.5 weeks to try out. I'm a disciplined player , I've read the Grot guide and I would just like a chance.
I just want someone to take a chance with me like so many players have with others. I admire Ket not only because im Indian as well but because of how he built up his bankroll. I know the chances of me doing what he did is...umm....high doubtful but worth a shot. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

decent day, sudden surge towards endby whamm!, December 20
won 3bi today all at my last two orbits . the whole session was just hardcore variance and just spewed a ton coz of my nittiness (i think) lost most of my kk and aa to retarded half stacked fucks who race and win to a large reraise pf like 12bbs lol. everything was really bad and folding bad spots really help keep things afloat the whole session. i really am working on control nowadays to get a more consistent and progressive growth, so far it is really paying off. this was my last hand played where i won, then i thought: "if im gonna win at poker today with these types of hands, im just gonna think this is all there is to it." so i just decided to stop for the day being up already. ive had enough stupidity for one day. lol

ok Im back to PR after visiting doomer for a week. In the trip we met few girls, I was mostly treated liek a prostitute and made like 700 dollars in live poker for doomer to pay off the stake kept 300 for me. so i get to the airport in Orlando in a hurry cuz i was running late to find out my fligth was delayed 1hour. Then I got pissed when I found out I was in row 25 ( last 1 on the back) i looked at my other flight ticket for the next plane it was also 25 so im fuckign pissed. when my plane arrived teh otehr was alredy leaving so i almost got stranded cuz i was teh last 1 out of the plane.
So im walking down the new plane to my seat when i glimpse of hope was bestowed upon my soul. sitting on my row all alone was a cute blonde girl looking lonely. I took my seat and proceeded to attempt to woe this girl. I succeded and i managed to get the following info: age: 17 status: boyfriend , ocupation: Model willingness to go out on a date with me even thou she is in a relationship: High . She agreed to go out with me.
Now i didnt see much of this girl cuz she was wearing a lot of clothes cuz it was cold. She told me she was 5'0'' but her face was good enough for me so i didnt really checked her out. She gave me her email/myspace and i went and checked it out and this is what i found:
up about $80 today after 40 sngs. 1 step closer to hitting my goal of 300 by next tuesday. last final is tomorrow also so i'll be able to play more. current BR is 180. hopefully variance won't pull a 2girls1cup on me
edit - actually just won another (boring pot limit) sng, so i'm up to 205 now. whats really good!
Some funny hands from playing a bunch of live poker in vegas ....
Okay so I played a bunch of 5/10 and 2/5NL in Vegas at the Wynn ... Some of these players are so stupid, my jaw is just constantly dropping at some of the things that I was seeing. Others were just funny things that happened, this first one was from 5/10.
In all these hands, I was pretty much playing probably like 40/35 or something ridiculous, basically if it was playable and it was folded or limped to me, I was raising. So anyways, this fish sitting w/ like 20k at a 5/10 game who claims to be a pro and plays like 60 hours a week? WOW 60 hours a week = super degen. Anyways, he opens like 40 from UTG+1 or whatever, and I'm in like 4th pos, and I have the 53s so I elect to 3bet to 120, cuz if I call there's gonna be like 6 other players in the pot. So it's folded around to the fish and he calls, I'm about 2k deep and he's like 20k deep. Flop is A55 (ding ding ding), so fish checks to me, and I bet ~200 into pot of ~240. So fish instacheckminraises me. I ask the dealer how much, he says minimum, I chuckle, count my chips, then reraise to 1200. Fish looks at me in disgust and folds, i turn over the 3h and muck the 5. LOL.
So I played a bunch of hands w/ this guy over the course of the next 25 minutes. Basically if he ever entered a pot, I was calling or 3betting him. He was getting really irritated, but I knew I couldn't bluff him again, so not much longer I'm sitting UTG and pick up the QTo so of course I raise to 60. People at live tables really give you a lot of respect if you raise UTG, even if you raise a lot of hands. Anyways, fish calls me in the SB. Flop comes A37r. So he checks and I c-bet like 110 into pot of ~130, in retrospect I think this was maybe too much as he's either calling or he's not, but either way, he snap called. At this point we're like 3k deep after the previous pot I won off him, and now pot is like ~450. Turn is an offsuit J. He checks, I check. Okay so now river is a T. He checks to me, and I start salivating because I know it's time to take him to value town. I bet 400, he instantly calls me, and I turn over the QT. "It's good" ... "Yeah, I know, buddy."
So like a few minutes later we play another pot. He opens to 40 from early, I pickup the KJo so I 3bet from 5th or 6th pos or whatever, folded to him, he calls. (Don't ever just keep calling someone that is pounding on you like this, it's a recipe for disaster, you have to start 4betting light, or check/jamming the flop to have any chance at all against a good player who starts doing this to u. This guy obv had no idea how to handle it which is why it was so easy to take his money). so flop is like T85dd I have no diamond. He checks, so I just check, because I know he's going to call me w/ all sorts of random crap, so I figure I'll just give this one up if I don't improve. So turn is another T, and he checks again. Now I think I actually might have the best hand if he's checking twice. Or it could just be that he thinks I'm so retarded / agro that I will bluff whenever I'm checked to. Either way, the T is a terrible card for me to bluff, and I'm happy to check this one down. So anyways, the river is a J (bingo). He checks to me, I'm like, hmmmm, pot is about 240 ... "300" I said. He calls, I turn over my hand and he mucks again. LOL ... live pro .. he probably sits there w/ 20k all day and never plays a pot bigger than 3 or 4 thousand. Unless he's getting stacked. Immediately after this last hand, the fish gets up and takes the empty seat to my immediate left, I laugh. Anyways, after winning about 3k in roughly an hour at this 5/10 game, I leave it to play a far more difficult 2/5 game to sit and play w/ FrinkX and Myth. I have bad game selection obv.
Okay so this hand was from one of the first days I was there. This donk sitting directly to my right was overvaluing his hands bigtime, and didn't have any concept of value betting. I'd see him checkraise the river all in on a KJT65 board w/ K8 ... I asked him if he was turning his made hand into a bluff or if he thought he was value raising the river. He didn't quite understand my question, so I knew what to expect from this guy, lol. So anyways, one of the very very few instances that it was folded all the way around to the SB, the donk limps, and I raise up the 78o to 25, he calls. Flop is like JsTc8d. So he checks and I have bottom pair so I'm happy to try to get to showdown cheap, so I check also. Turn is 6s, he checks and i obv check behind. So river comes duece of spades, completing a backdoor FD. Villain checks to me, so I'm like ... Okay I guess I have to value bet, so pot's like ~60 so I bet 30. Donk says "I raise." I ask "how much?" He counts out his chips and says "100 more." i call before he can even count the chips and put them in the pot, turn up 4th pr and tip the dealer before he does anything. lolz. (On a side note, I've tried to do this to JonnyCosmo in heads up games and the results haven't gone so well. If you aren't really sure, you look like an idiot, lol.)
Okay so this hand is from a different day, I honestly couldn't believe that this crap happened, I've never seen anything like this before in my life. So I'm sitting 2/5 w/ JonnyCosmo, and our friend's girlfriend, Mango. I pick up the 9Tcc from like 3rd pos and open to 25. I get called by this cowboy OTB. flop is like 589 w/ 8c. So I c-bet 50 into ~60 pot, and cowboy decides to raise me minimum. I think he is probably either really strong or he's bluffing, and I have top pair so I don't think I have enough information to fold just yet, so I call 50 more and pot is now ~260. Other thing is, I'm playing very aggressively and probably opening like 4 out of every 9 hands. We originally had 500 effective stacks, and turn card is the Jc, so the board is 5s8c9dJc or soemthing like that, and I have 9Tcc for pr and open ended straight flush draw. So I think for a second and check to him. He goes into his stack, and picks out roughly 100$ worth of 5$ chips, and he starts to count them out in front of his cards, stacking them in 4 stacks of 5 chips, 25$ a stack. So as I was watching him do this, I was thinking like ... I need to make this look really strong, so as soon as he had measured up the 4 stacks of 25$ each, before he could move his hand back from the chips, I say "ALL IN!" LOL THEN THIS DOUCHE BAG, he picks back up the first stack of 25$, stacks them on top of the 3rd set, then stacks those on top of the 2nd, and stacks those on top of the first ... He takes his chips and puts them back into his stack, AND HE MUCKS HIS CARDS ? LOL ? I'm sitting there stunned, trying to figure out what just happened, I look at the dealer and ask her (But these dealers you know, they all hate these young internet punks so we never get a break), and SHE ALLOWS IT! LOL. Anyways, I say to the cowboy, "wow, you are SHAAAYYYY - DDDDD" "I hope you know that you're a shade ball" Then he stuttered something in his Texas accent saying something like "I might'a done ... (Could'nt make the rest out), so I said back to him, mocking his accent "You might'a done what?" Then he just said "sorry," I said "Well, I guess if you need it that bad that you need to cheat, whatever dude, you earned it, nice work." He didn't say another word. He left about 5 minutes later ... Douche bag.
(On a side note ... At the Wynn, there is no betting line, so your cards are considered your betting line, if your chips are in front of your cards, it's a bet. This dude's chips were definitely way in front of his cards)
Okay so this next one I played at a different 5/10 table from the earlier one. I had just sat for about 15 minutes and was watching this kid open a lot of hands. Like as many as I had been in previous games. I doubled up in the first hand I played, so I was about 2k deep. He musta been sitting there with like 8k or more. So he's like UTG+1 and opens to 50. I look down at the 89o from MP, so I decide it's good enough to start to establish my image, so I 3bet him to 150. So it's folded to him and he calls, flop is 8TJr. I think, wow, I couldn't have asked for a much better flop for 3betting this hand. So he checks to me, and I bet 250 into pot of ~300. He checkraises to 650. I look at how much cash I have in front of me, think for like three seconds, and jam all in. He instamucks and I think to myself "haha i play good."
Last story isn't about any particular hand, it was my last night in Vegas, and I was moving between a 2/5 game w/ JonnyCosmo and a short handed game w/ Lyric, some chick that was apparently Daniel Alaei's girlfriend (who he backs and teaches), and some fish. Lyric didn't stay for long, so after about 15 minutes it became a three handed game. The chick wasn't very good, she was like, really passive. Over the course of about 40 hands, she 3bet me once, and she was opening her button like 1 out of every 4 times. I was acting cocky and teasing her for playing so passively when she acts like she's so good. (The night before she was playing a hand where some dude raised her on the turn then winked at her. She thought for like two seconds, moved all in and was like "you're not winking anymore are you?" Like really seriously, not joking at all, this chick was cold.) So she starts telling me I'm obnoxious, that I'm annoying, she actually says that she cant even stand to think of her and me in the same sentence, LOL? She keeps trying to tell me to leave the table because she "doesnt want to be near me" ... But obv she wants to get this super fish heads up. I'm like, "I know you're type too well, you are transparent to me, I've dealt with chicks like you too many times to know that the last thing I should give you is what you want." So after this she immediately starts trying to qualify herself to me. She tries to claim that she is different from all the rest (yeah right like I haven't heard that 100 times, lol). So I was like "well, if you didn't care what I thought you wouldn't be trying so hard to convince me otherwise." So she immediately softens up a grip, and actually blushes a little, I teased her some more, and she starts doing this ridiculously goofy laugh. I make fun of her laugh, and she swats at me. I give a really surprised look at her and I say "YOU LIKE ME." (duh if a girl is swatting at you it means she likes you). "You know how I know? ... Cuz you're not denying it." Anyways, she is embarrassed so she tries to take another jab at me, but I obv dodged it, and shortly ater, the fish decides to get up and quit, (I think I scared him away because I kept betting into him and raising him) lol but just before he leaves he says to the girl "if you asked me to give you all of my chips, I would" ... I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "wow, you are such a tool," I glance at the girl, and she glances back, we both give each other this weirded out look because we knew how pathetic that was. I tried to convince the chick to stay and play heads up with me, but I think she didn't wanna get stacked, so she quit, and I went back to play the 2/5 game.
I think I paid off sets and overpairs too much but still, i think this is only the beginning, plus the bonus is helping me stay afloat..
And lately I've been trying this play where I make a pretty big bet with fold equity + odds against a RR. i think it might be paying off... except that one time i tried that drawing for a straight against a boat
