Well I've been playing some 100NL HU just for fun. I'm probably underrolled, but whatever. I'll learn my lesson soon enough. I played this guy for an hour. After 5 mins he asked me to leave because I "knew what I was doing" and thus he didn't feel he had an edge. Against all logic, I politely declined and he sat out for a while before coming back as another incarnation of himself. One that was really bad at trash talking. So after an hour, I had to leave to study (which I'm clearly doing now).

I've finally figured it out!by JoeDeertay, November 19
I've finally realized the reason for my hero play and tilt issues that have been killing me for the last month: I've been RESULTS ORIENTED!!!
I know I always promote NOT being results oriented, and I'm usually not when playing hands regarding who wins or loses the hand...or so I thought. It just came to the that I make the high-variance hero type plays in marginal situations because I end up thinking to myself, "If I win this pot, I'll have THAT much more money and I'll be THAT much closer to moving up." Basically, I have been trying to win too much too fast, and I've been trying to force the issue by trying to win more pots than I should be. Also, like I said before, when I end up losing these hands I just go on tilt because I think I am stupid for putting myself in a spot to lose that much money, and then I just start spewing.
But no more! Now that I know the reason for all of this, I can stop doing it and get back on my grind and win like I was before, when I wasn't time crunched to win money or anything like that. Even though I need to at least cashout $100 a month to pay for my citation (for like the next 4 months or so), that shouldn't really be that hard at all. If I get a job when I get back to school like I plan to I shouldn't even need to cashout.
Now that my head is clear of all the shit that was in it, I'm much more focused on playing solid and not trying to force things, and this should lead to much less tilt and hopefully a much higher winrate...and poker will also be much more fun. Watch out micro-stakes...here I come!
god this is so fducki nridicoulessby keuner, November 19
since two months iam not motivated for anything
its ridicouless and today ifelt so freakin good and palyed and holla what happend i won one buy in.
laterv i made another session and i was up 3.5
but then this nice hands.
in two minutes i lost all my winings
but everyone know it blabla
its just gay
oh my i felt like i got owned but it wasnt even close to it. i know that i beat this fuckin limit but...
its just to cool down myself
i dunno how it will go in the future. the only thing is to play my best and keep thinkin that i win one time...
So last night at like 2am I notice neilly is posting hands, and for the comical value I start checking them and I notice he is playing HU.
I'm a bit underrolled to be playing nl50 hu (750 br) but I think I have a considerable edge against neilly so i decide to let myself lose $100 to neilly as my limit and other than that play to take his br.
Neilly is sitting at 4 nl50 HU tables and they are all full, so I join the waiting list on all 4 of them and watch him.
Neilly is literally 3betting every other hand oop and calling 4bets with any two suited cards vs people with $30 stacks and shit so I'm feeling pretty confident.
I get one table opened up against him and start abusing the fact that he multitabling and stuff. My next table opens and I decide that I can make maximum $/hr against him two tabling. I'm crushing neilly and we are 150 bb deep on both tables. Neilly had $250+ on each table to begin with so obviously it was my goal to reverse all of that. I hit a sick heater and soon after I suckout on him twice and im sitting with $300 on both tables. Neilly then goes into uber tilt mode and I'm just raping him everywhere with solid tight play and sick thin valuebets, 2nd pair was good enough vs his maniac style. I get neilly down about 750 and he has to start closing his other tables to continue playing and I consider stopping because I would feel genuinely bad taking his whole BR but with all of LP watching and stuff I continued to play. At one point I was up 890 dollars on neilly which is absolutely sick and I wish I woulda stopped at that point.
I really dont know why you guys all felt compelled to obs that match, or why it was epic. Maybe you guys think we are both jokes or something. That's pretty embarassing to me and my ego but whatever.
Anyways, neilly got his heater as well and sucked out on me for $600 or so and I left up $300 which was actually under my pokerEV graph by about $100 but it's ok because i still turned a pretty nice profit running at 25ptbb/100.
I hope he sits at the tables in the future as well.

i am not a christian but since worshipping stuff works well for tourneys i did a little Jesus worshipping just before i called
I knew JJ probably was not the best call there
and i was thinking for some time
but then i had a a voice in my head that said : believe in the power of jesus that owns tournaments and i make that hand win -> so call !
ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED!!!by jkpickett, November 19
Of course I'm only kidding, but I'm not gonna lie, the thought did cross my mind after this hand for about a split second. I had been chasing this guy's stack all day and he was beating me up pretty good early in the session. i had won the last few hands consecutively including one where he checkraised the river only to fold to my shove. i guess he's making a stand. what are you to do, but reload and keep chasing his ever increasing stack. what a game we play!!!!!

card dead.. shot confidence.. don't know what to do.
I tried playing more aggressive post flop. Double barreling more, and betting heavy on scary draws to get a fold. And it has been working, I feel as though that was a leak in my game was check / folding after I raise preflop and I miss.
However, I still feel as though nothing is hitting for me, and everytime I have a big hand I have that thought that I'm going to either be drawn out, or the other guy is on a draw so I have to reraise big, thus taking away my chances of the opponent calling down with a marginal hand.
I had finally been doing good for a little while, played focused but it happened again. I started running total crap and losing and losing, I am down 1.2k (to 6.5k ), that being 400$ HU NL50 and 800$ NL200. NL200 beats were pretty damn annoying, all happened in like 200 hands, KK vs AA, AA vs JJ, AA vs 55, TT vs AK (all 3 bets pot) but I've def been playing too tight, it's just seems to be better yet but maybe it's why I'm only getting action into cooler situation.
The HU part was pretty weird, I don't know much yet about HU but I mostly lost when I played a tight opponent, he folded all the time and it made me tilt so I started betting like crazy and donked 2 buyins vs him. Other than that I am pretty sure all I lost HU were pretty gross beats, people joining my table, betting recklessly and getting lucky then leaving.
Once again I wish the week didn't start so bad so I could have started thinking about something else but ain't gonna happen I guess. Hopefully the wind will change and it'll go good again but until then I'll be pissed (hopefully not spewing).
I just can't properly incorporate PFR into my game.
Never open limp. Raise all PP from any position. 3-bet with a wider range.
I tried many times. It didn't work. Pure spew.
Therefore I am reverting back to my old style:
[x] Run 20/8 preflop
[x] Play against passive regulars
[x] Avoid big pots with 1-pair hands OOP
[x] Make sharp postflop decisions
[x] Profit
I know stretching a PTBB of 9 (which I achieved after my first 20k hands) over 100k hands would be far-fetched. So how about 6? I am @ 5.9 over 80k right now.

Nov 15/16 Late night. Eventful night. Run like shiet for most of the night, and then made 3 BIs against regs at the same table over 6 hands (stacked another regular within another orbit)

It hurts SO BAD
Note the beautiful over-raise which he falls for perfectly
Right after milkman won a seat to the Million, I started playing the DS to it. I was already half on life tilt and angry. Ez ship the seat to help me break even.
BTW - My apartment is the most degen place in the world. Yomer sitting on his ass high all day playing D2, my friend who doesn't live here has slept on my couch the last 2 weeks, and Milkman has been here for the last week. It also has tons of empty beer bottles, broken chairs, no
dishes that are clean and too many empty fast food containers to count.
Holler.
I should take pictures.....This is what I come home to after being gone for the weekend.......
We Americans Got to Get Our Fast Food!by jkpickett, November 18
So I'm running some errands today and I look over and see a pretty incredible sight. I only had my camera phone available so the clarity is lacking, but it's two incredibly obese old women on motorized carts ordering fast food! It just got me thinking how fucked up Americans diets are. Do any of you UK guys run into similar scenarios abroad???
I bought in for the Sunday Million via FPP store and did quite well. Busted out in 672nd place for $398.22 . I was having an awesome tournament until my AA ran into the monster A8o of villain... I went card dead after that but still hit the 2nd money bubble...
