I started the session playing so fucking bad, I was playing pretty aggressive and I didn't realise I was plaing against calling stations until I had been playing for like 15min and losing 50$. This game was so good and I just wasn't winning, I usually don't tilt that easy but now I tilted for practically no reason at all. I gave away a whole buy-in with AJ vs an obvious AK, after that i took a 5min break cause i was playing sooo bad. I got real annoyed at myself for losing 100$ against bad players and without a good reason.
I also flopped two nut flushes, and got paid off both times, against half-stacks but still pretty sweet.
When my 3 hour session ended I had gone from -100$ to +80$ for the whole
so this hand happens first, guy had just sat down i think, no stats on him but after this hand we can clearly see he is trying to give his money away (or has a super account)

later i get into another great spot induced by this guy. gotta assume knight is raising most pairs and any good ace here. i guess the shove was trying to get the idiot to stack off with Ax or any pair. pretty much, i just run amazingly bad.

So my friend invites us to go bowlingby KeanuReaver, October 21
then proceeds to ditch us for a couple of girls he met there. As if that wasn't bad enough, they weren't even cute. A couple tiny asians with fucked up teeth and they were really fucking annoying. Ditching your friends is bad enough, but at least have some standards man. Although honestly I'd have let them give me a bj, a bj is a bj after all.
Anyway, poker is good, third straight $10k month is looking to be well within my grasp. Problem right now is I feel I'm almost just playing for the sake of playing. I really want to see what my winrate at NL600 will be like at the end of the year or after 100k hands so I'm almost just playing to reach that goal. That's not necessarily bad but I'm not concentrating as much as I should. I don't deserve to bitch though since after 20k hands my winrate is at 12ptbb/100.
Rush when someone's tiltingby barbieman, October 20
I played for about 3h and made about 250$ at NL50, most of it came from a rush were I won 9 out of 14 hands at a 6 max table, I got paid off good bcuz a guy started tilting and called me down with what looked like any pair.
Another unusual thing happened earler during that session. I picked up AA on BB, everybody folds to button, he pushes his 45$ stack for the second hand in a row. SB calls all-in 30$. And my aces held up. sweet.
I have this very big headache and I just can't believe how bad I ran this is just sick. What pisses me the most is all the hard work I put on focusing on playing great and no rewards. It has been going on for a few weeks, I just hoped it would go away at some point but the bad luck continues... I didn't feel a too big difference between NL100 and NL200 on the players, some regular seems good but I haven't seen many.
It was like the last nice weekend we'll get around here before winter and I just wasted it losing money. I'm fucking tired and I have SHITLOAD of schoolwork to do so I'm expecting a twice shittier day tomorrow =/
I played 2 sessions today. Like 2,5k hands total. And I won almost 2k again lolz. It's kinda strange cause I had some sick beats today and misplayed like 2 hands. Can't post the stats cause they're mixed with yesterday cause I was playing after midnight etc. Obviously I'm running good but I also feel that I'm pwning everyone at my stakes. There is maybe one guy or two that I don't like playing against. I make some really good reads, calldowns and well-timed bluffs. My BR is almost at 20k so it's pretty sweet since I had like 9,6k in the second half of September lolz. I'm also happy cause I have no problem with putting some long sessions even when I'm running good.
Time to go to bed now cause it's 3:20am and I gotta get up at 10am. Tommorow we're having elections for Polish government so I'm meeting up with my Polish friends from Manchester and we're gonna go and vote and then we're having a lunch together and than we're getting drunk obv. Too bad we're going to start drinking about 3pm lolz.
Our beloved president and prime minister (don't know who is who):
I was planning on moving to NL5 a lot earlier, but I didn't realize at the time that NL5 was deep too. It has the same size buyin as NL10. Now that I have $200 is there any reason I should play NL5 at all? I have 20 buyins for either 5 or 10 and it just doesn't seem worth it to play 5. NL10 isn't significantly harder, is it?
Also, updated database containing all the hands I played since I got Holdem Manager last weekend. I didn't play as much this week, but I was running pretty good.
Now I have the chance to play for the first time in a while. I have $284.35 in the account, and going to reg the $5.50 6 max MTT on stars. I will probably multitable a $4.40 180 man at the same time. I have $16.50 coming back to me from a loan as well. I will post results later of my day's totals.
Finally Breakeven + Need Suggestionsby Svenman87, October 20
Well after a weird tilt + withdraw a few hours ago
I'm happy to announce I'm no longer stuck online :D
cashed out roughly 2.2k left myself ~400.
Using points to get a PS3 + other random shit.
Eh, I don't know why I even play this game... I feel like I'm just not made for the swings of the game, can only take x amount of bad beats before I go out benoit style.
Blah, w/e maybe I'll grind up. I want to find something else to distract me in life..
