changing from cash to donkamentsby rogier, October 30
so erm yeah, my 50 nl run didnt quite go as i planned, ended up dropping ~400 there in a way too short timespan (even tho i felt like i ran bad, but have beeen running way too good before that so that evens out).
roll dropped to 1300ish after playing 50nl.
decided to try to learn another thing called 6max. Even though 10nl 6max is soft as hell(think ran ~8ptbb/100 there) i still felt bored/the money didnt interest me enough).
So - after being inspired by that rainkhan vid i decided to give sitngos a go :D think i started playing them when my roll was ~1450 orso, played 3.40s only (12tabling, i hate popping up windows and only have a 17inch monitor). After playing 700ish sngs im now at an 1800 roll (~17-20% roi there) and am reasonably satisfied with my play. Still think i'm too weaktight at the start of a sng tho!
Goals for next month: play at least 750 more 3.40s, achieve a 2150 roll and get ready for the 6.50s
By the way, is there some kind of bankroll management for sngs? currently aiming for ~300 buyins before moving up but got a feeling this might be a little too safe. Tips?
Also, what software you use for SnGs? currently using pokertracker(for cashgames) + PAhud , it will do for the moment but i also like to make some nice graphs about my winnings, and see my #1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers
Here's a few hands. Tell me what you think of my play. Thanks
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/305802 Definitely a retarded call here. I didn't think this through, it should have been screaming set to me, right? About 1.5 seconds after I made the call I realized oh shit I fucked up.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/305803 Definitely stupid raising on flop, but this guy kept doing small raises so I thought I'd use a small raise to build the pot if he was gonna fold to my 5bet. This is actually the only time I've ever almost minraised...and I hated every minute of it. Besides that can I find a fold here or is it a cooler?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/305804 Here at the time I was 90% sure he had the flush, but when I went back and looked at it I didn't feel too great about the fold.
Played 2 short sessions yesterday and today. Looks like my heater is over Run really bad and had a sick amount of beats and setups. But I could see that coming after a huge upswing in the middle of this month
I made one or two spewy plays during these two sessions so I could've saved a bit here. I think I got a bit too confident after my heater and that's why.
I probably won't be able to play tommorow so I'll clear my mind a bit and watch a CR movie or two and then get back to playing. I'll stick to nl400 for a few days with an occasional table at nl500 or nl600 if I can find good ones.
Tommorow in the morning I'm going to the gym, then I gotta study a bit, then I need to do some stuff for my dad and in the evening I'm going to some halloween party. The worst part is that on Thursday I start classes at 9am. But I'll try to go to the uni even if still drunk
Next week I might go to Poland for a few days since there are no low/mid stakes ballers who wanna go to Dublin for EPT with me.
That's it I guess. I'm gonna watch new episode of Heroes now and maybe Prison Break as well if I can find it online already (I watch them using streaming cause I can't download using p2p at my campus - does anyone know how to hack this shit?).

BTW anyone who wants 1/2 of my winnings can teach me on NL2.
1) what are the micro stakes they offer (no limit holdem stakes, buyins and blinds plz)
2) I saw a screen shot of someone playing there and it looked like it had pot odds displayed for them (example 1.4:1) was that some software he had running? I don't want the fish thinking
3)Your Player Points can be exchanged into cash using this ladder:
Player Points (PP) Convert rate
1 – 500 $0,45 / PP
501 – 1000 $0,50 / PP
1001 – 2500 $0,55 / PP
2501+ $0,60 / PP
I know that is how they convert points but, what I want to know is example: you collect 3000 PP do you get
October Reporting (>^_^>)by lachlan_fearn, October 30
played a fair bit this month, especially in the middle. had the biggest shitter of a down-up-down-up-down-up swing, just seemed to never end. my BR swung between $350 and $290 so many times it was pretty frustrating.
but i think i'm getting better now, folding alot more in the right spots, and not just donking away a buyin because i have KK on a board of lower cards.
i'd like to thank that northface guy as my inspiration to play every day.
Have almost all of my roll at party now 8D NL50 is ridiculously soft I've won 8 buy ins in 1.5k hands 8D!!!
Anyways I'm doing good rebuilding my roll at the moment, lets hope to keep the pace ^_^ Considering of moving to rednines though at some point The rakeback is so sweet ;O~ Hard decision because party is so soft, but I have no rakeback there :XXX
I played like a total donkey today, note to self dont play tired!
I ended up a buying which is actually disgusting thinking about how much i could have won/saved, and also how when I play A-game i run like shit. fucking donkies really get rewarded sometimes.
Not everything, just a bit. I decided when I reached $1,250 I'd take $250 out and treat myself a bit. Gonna use however much I need to get a cardrunners membership and then I'm going to take the rest and use it on halloween. My GF and I have been invited to some fancy costume party where a friend of a friend has rented out a bar. So that means we'll need cash for costumes, food and drinks. Let poker pay for that!
Finally hit the $1,250 mark tonight after a rocky weekend. Couldn't seem to win. I swear I can't seem to figure out how to play when everyone is drunk and willing to bluff with anything. Guess it just turns into a rollercoaster ride but for some reason I always end up puking and not enjoying it in the end. I actually could have come out a solid winner sooner if I wasn't making so many stupid mistakes... just haven't got as much practice in those laggy games as I do in the regular weeknight game, which is a different beast.
This marks a new level for me. I'm now going to make the move outta full ring and into 6max, using the cardrunner videos to try and figure out what I need to change. Anyone wanting to drop advice in here about the types of changes I need to make, please feel free. Things like adjustments in starting hand requirements, continuation bets, fighting for the blinds and so on would be much appreciated. Once I get my now $1,000 BR up to $1,500 I will make the move to NL50 6max. I figure the time it takes me to win 20 buyins at NL25 6max should be a good learning experience that prepares me for NL50.
So here are the graph's and SS's. First is PT over the last 2 months, second is a graph for this weekend and last is a graph for the last 2 months.
The last days I've been feeling stressed to do things but nothing satisfy me, I get instantly bored by anything I do. I think it might be becouse I have too much things (like tvgames and such). Anyway it feels like somethings missing, gay life.
Pokerwise I'm not satisfied either, +12k this month in like 31k hands - seems pretty good but despite that I had a 9,7k session heads up I really feel like i could've done better.
But I should not complain too much on this.
Anyway it's falls break wich is pretty sweet, tomorrow the bar's open for minors and a decent swedish rapper is gonna perform so ship it.
