Well we are going to be in Vegas from the 21st to the 25th, staying at the Treasure Island hotel. We've been gambling all along our roadtrip in the Van by playing Big 2.
So far we stayed a few days in Vancouver Canada for nightclubs. Stayed a day in Portland Oregon which was pretty horrible, that place is shitty. A day in Gold Beach which was pretty awesome, we made a huge ass fire on the beach at night. I'm posting this from our room in San Francisco, we'll be going to Six Flags and doing some shopping and clubbing for a few days here and then it's off to Vegas!
Played a bit today and yesterday, won a bit back. Im not giving up yet! And that last tilty blog entry was the almost the only tilty day i had since my new beginning, so its not so bad yet.
Reliving the glorious moments (hand reviews)by T8Suited, July 18
Imagine every overpair got paid off by top pairs, every Axs improved to a flush by the turn, every read led to an important, correct decision, every draw or combo draw against missed, and Poker Gods answered my calls when I needed them.
That's like all the planets in the sky aligning. My golly, that's what happened Monday night:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232884 AK It was a timing tell that led to me felting this. With a more robust hand (i.e. set) why would he have hesitate before 4 betting flop against an enthusiastic opponent (me)? http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232874 93h I could already conclude from his preflop/flop/turn play that he had KQ. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232872 AJ A charming value-check -- it wasn't that difficult to put him on a missed FD. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232871 KQh Another instance when you ask yourself why a monster made hand would play this way.
And then Poker Gods bailed me out of trouble on the following 2 hands:
This hand occuried at a 5/10 1000 max table at Turning stone. The pot was limped 6 way preflop and I check 7/2 in the BB. Board came 8s 6d 5d and it checked around, turn was 4h. The SB makes it 65, I call and the UTG calls before the aggro retard in seat 6 shoves for $840 total. It gets folded back to the sb who takes about 3 minutes to fold before folding 7/7 face up. I ended up calling here because of that and the shover turn over 7/9 for the nuts. I'm curious what you guys think of this hand. It's a dry pot, I'm very possibly playing for a chop, however, the guy is capable of doing this with literally any 2 in the deck. Thoughts?

I have over 1k hands logged with adrockuk, and this is the strangest PF play I've seen from him. Sweet river obviously.

Stacked this guy twice during the session. He was none-too happy with me. He said, "ty for the slowroll" because I took ~5 seconds to make the call

Kind of upset about this hand. This player is never leading with a draw/air, I felt I had zero FE, and I was 90% certain that my A/9 outs were not clean. What do you think?
i really want to be rolled for 100nl hu. i think i have a substantial edge. is there an easy way to post whole hand histories (ie export them from pt, really)? i'd like some review of sessions.
how many bi are recommended for full time hu? i was thinking 50 minimum, probably. there is such sick variance hu, especially if you are me
Ok, I didn't like where everything was going last week so I decided that I needed a fresh start. I withdrew everything but 206 USD from Unibet and started looking for a new site. Havn't found anything that's really good yet even though I have a few options so I've just played like 2k hands of NL50 and built my Unibetroll up to a bit over 500 USD, which is 14bb/100 hands despite a stupid session this morning where I couldn't catch a fucking hand and pretty much made two very bad calls. Ohh well, it happends.
Overall I feel that I'm really not in any shape to play right now, I'm somewhat annoyed and not in the zone so I'll only play when I really feel like it and such. Unless I find a nice site to deposit on I'll just play around at really low stakes with some really aggressive BR-managment and hopefully get back to decent stakes pretty soon. I'll get my rakeback for july in like 3 weeks and that should be somewhere between 1.2k and 1.5k which pretty much will give me enough to play NL100. Afther that it shouldn't take long before I'm back on track again.
hey guys long time ago since my last post.not that much happened iam playing nl200 right now but not longer at stars games are way tougher there. tomorrow i will head to vienna to play live poker i hope this is gonna be awesome but iam a bit nervous cuz its my first time to play live its gonna be 1/2 € nl and probably some low buyin donkaments well hope its gonna be fun.anyways i just finished my stake with nutshot this boy´s HOT it just took him like a week to go on his own and he also added a nice 100$ profit for me so crazy i knew that staking him was the right thing to do.guys i give you one good advice stake him for the wcoop id do it myself but i cant afford it at the moment. oh well cu bitchez holla
I think I'm going to go to a BJJ school and learn BJJ before I head back to Team Bison.
Team Bison is a great organization.
It'll be something I will strive to be a part of. But right now I feel like I am only holding those great fighters back by having them teach me shit when they could be improving themselves.
So I will train my ass off at a BJJ school so I can be at least up to par or above some of them when it comes to the ground game.
p.s.
I'm more banged and bruised up than I ever was playing football.
football conditioning + getting hit < mma
thank god my beautiful face hasn't been messed up (yet..) so I still have my money maker.
I don't know a lot about analyzing the graphs that PokerEV spits out but from the little knowledge that I do have, it seems to justify my feelings that I've been running pretty bad. If some of y'all could confirm this or if I'm wrong then tell me that'd be great. It's only $2NL but I've just recently begun putting some decent time into poker and I was seeing a nice jump in my BR initially. I was about to move up stakes until I hit this rough spot. Oh well, things we'll turn around. I'll post some hands next time so I can start getting me some good hand analysis.
On another note, I just got back in Nashville from working at school for half the summer which paid like crap and I started a real job this week. I was psyched that I was gonna have some extra cash to deposit but now that Gift 2 Go cards no longer work I don't know what I'm going to do. No way am I going to deal with ePassporte so it looks like Western Union or one of those All Access Visa are my only two options.
One spot where I'm not sure if I shoulda folded QQ pf:
I raised over pot from BB after a few limps, UTG shortstack calls behind, UTG+1 full stack 3bets to 17BB. I decide to call for set value thinking the shortie will call/push (essentially same thing based on his stack) and he pushes (like 3/4 BB more than the raise) and UTG+1 shoves. I feel like his limp reraise then shove has to be KK/AA so I fold, but I dunno if this is correct.
Obv I woulda flopped the set and turned quads...UTG tables A7 UTG+1 tables JJ I puke.
2nd question for you guys:
Don't you think the true test of someone's opinion on something is to ask them to put money on it? I love it when I get in a dispute with someone and they are so staunchly opposed to me until I ask them to put money on it, and they inevitably fold (excuse the pun).
Congrats to Khan on his 1Mil cash even though we all know he would've loved to win.
Start my new job on wednesday but due to huge uni fees etc I'm a bit low on funds for the victoria poker championships buy-in next week.
If anyone wants to stake me I'm offering 65% of all winnings or, if you want a sure-thing I'll pay back 15% on a loan (need $1050). Loan would be paid back on the 31st.
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it, just gimme a pm.
Objective: to test my skills against NL100 players
Hypothesis: I am good enough
Procedure:
1) Log onto Pokerstars
2) Join NL100 tables with high VPIP
3) Play
Results:
1) +$300+ in my 1st session -- I was freaking lucky that night
2) -$250 in my 2nd session -- I made quite a few bad plays, but it was 2 suckouts against that accounted for the most of the losses
Discussion:
The 1st session featured 2 huge suckouts on my part:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232857 AK Suckout against #1. The guy was fed up with me 3-betting him preflop on another table -- OMG my big-chick was soooooooooted. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/232859 AA AsAh deserts me again -- although I don't think I would have folded JJ 3-handed on that board, either.
