Got off to a good start this week again, only played about 1,200 hands today and win rate was about 11.4BB/100 hands. Going to try to increase to 2000-3000 hands per day. Also going to update how close i am to my $20,000 goal every Sunday just to keep you guys up to date. Last week on Tuesday my bro and i went to a baseball game, Toronto vs. Washington, we lost 10-1 so we left the 8th inning cause whats the point, unless players start dropping dead were not going to win. Pic of us at the game.

Lets supose god:

#1 has PERFECT micro and macro. always perfect timing etc. imagine stimed rines vs lurkers, sick
#2 has a map hack
#3 can predict your moves and can analyze perfect solution against it (he even predict how u react to different strategies)

its obvious he would kill any progamers. the question is, could he beat them in 1v2? 2v3? 3v4?

depends mu and map obviously....

i say god could win on hunters, at least tt vs zzz

Haven't updated in a bit, but this weekend was pretty crazy. Anyway, here's my graph from Friday and Saturday:

http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8062/june22and23vy1.jpg

Yeah, not very fun. Most of this was at $400 NL, lost a tiny bit at NL $200 and about $500 at NL $600. Some hands to illustrate how well I ran over this period:

Ugh, no way I'm ever giving up AK PF to this guy though.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218250
Nice river for me. Could raise the flop, but I'm getting great odds in position and don't want to push out a lower FD or T9.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218252
Typical.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218253
So sick.

Sunday was a different story, however, as you can see:

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/5381/june24vc7.jpg

So yeah, I passed $3k and went straight to my first $4k day. Most of the profit was at NL $400, with about +$600 at NL $1k, + $200 at NL $200 and +$100 at NL $600. And it could have even been a $5k day, since I got bad beat hard in the following hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218267
WTF is with flop call?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218268
Guy tried to convince me afterwards that I overplayed my overpair and was behind his range on that flop. ROFLMAO.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218269
Nice to see my 95-5 edge not hold up.

Of course I had some big hands as well:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218271
One of my biggest hands ever in terms of $$ won. I lead pretty much any turn except that one, and usually lead flop. Playing it a little differently paid off here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218272
Snap called that river. Really like the turn check here.

A lot of other standard hands, letting aggro-tards bluff their stacks off and the like. Overall, a very nice turnaround. I'm now nearing 75k hands and $20k profit at the tables (probably have already passed $20k with hands PT missed). Total RB + bonuses is somewhere in the neighborhood of +$3k, so overall a very nice month. Probably won't get too much better though, I'm starting my summer class now and won't be able to grind nearly as much.

IS THIS BAD?

I'D LIKE SOME IN DEPTH COMMENTARY ON WHAT TO DO IN THIS SPOT

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218127

Just lost like 3 bi in a 300 hands session. I won in total less then 25 pots, the biggest on on 8bb and the biggest pot I lost was 40bb vs some retard shortstack who hit n' ran after that. Every pot was like "raise, miss, contbet, reraise from some dude, fold". Also, I got AA once, which was one of 5 times everyone folded to my pf raise. Got KK twice and the first everyone folded and the 2nd one I slowplayed vs a shortie with the plan on "c/r allin on any non-A-flop" and hit a set on the flop. Check/check, turn A, check, shortie bets, I raise, he goes allin, I call, he shows AA.

Overall a very frustrating and very strange session. I guess I could've quit earlier but beside me paying of a shortie who was allin 4 out of 7 times I saw him in a pot or something with 2nd pair top kicker I don't think I played that bad. I could've made some moves vs people who I think made moves on me but it didn't feel like I had the image for that.

Well, tonight was freakin awesome

I sat down and grinded NL10 for a few hrs during the day today, then realized NL10 just sucks. (won 7bi in 3 hrs)

So I opened 12 tables of NL25 and got my ass kicked for 5 minutes. I was like, wtf am I doing? Had a drink and started tryin hard.

So, now I can start playing seriously and pwning my way back up the limits like I intended. I started the session out playing really lag on NL10 since the players were playing so weak and believing pretty much every bluff I made.

During this insane LAG session I created (pretty much started for shits n giggles, but was working so well I never stopped) my stats were like this:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3215 hands and saw flop:
- 274 out of 475 times while in big blind (57%)
- 168 out of 453 times while in small blind (37%)
- 385 out of 2287 times in other positions (16%)
- a total of 827 out of 3215 (25%)
Pots won at showdown - 89 of 190 (46%)
Pots won without showdown - 505

My normal stats while playing TAG hangs between 14-16% pots seen, 40-55% won, and 2/1 ratio of pots won without showdown, not 2.5/1

I'd like to also mention I won 2 pots w/ 27os today, and 1 pot with 24os (all hands I would never play in my life). This brought on such a sense of accomplishment which I think made my reads extremely prestine, which is why I was able to execute this style without flaw.

Theres really no great hand analysis for tonight, since most of it was me building a huge lag image, then shoving everytime I hit a monster;

Here are a few of the hands I played;

vs shockwave52 - I was opening a ridiculous amount of hands at this table and had no respect. Too bad I kept flopping like this lol
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218040

vs ALHARROUK - This hand played itself out. I figure with an OESD & FD on board I could sell a monster draw with this play. Suprise, it worked
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218039

vs Detonate - I planned to win with this hand PF no matter what. with all the draws that came out on the turn, I figured it was a great time to represent a J9/JQish hand and get a bet out there. Then boom, GIN! SHIP SHIP
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218038

vs infamous - I had an EXTREMELY lag image at this table, and had pushed alot of draws. I figure with a FD out there why not just shove and see if I could get paid by a weaker king or PP 88-QQ. Worked again, oh yeah
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218034

vs kpmaxpo - another instance of my image, I was getting no respect with my raises (with good reason, I was raising any two where I felt I could outplay the villian/outflop the villian/get paid off by the villian.) He snap called me in like 2 seconds only to see his JJ go into the muck faster than his stack disapeared.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218032

vs Dupli Lav - LOL....IDK what the heck this guy was thinking..purely my image getting me paid here.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218031

vs option85 - I flat in MP with my sevens intending to set up. Miss that but hit a 3 straight on the flop, and still not sure if hes cont betting or with an overpair, I peel one off for his cheap price. Turn brings me an ISD with my pair, as well as my set odds, and a flushdraw I can represent on the river if it makes it. He donks out a blockerbet on the river, BLOCK THIS. nanana
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218030

24os 4TW
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218025

this hand was fun to be a part of
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218021

vs hobbithunter - same ol story
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/218019

vs Corina432 - I had just finished telling the table how I'm wasted and just havin fun. That totally made the this $25.
I wouldn't have made $1 if I never said that. I tried to make my bets look "tricky" since I said that, hoping he would pay me off. Couldn't believe it when I saw how lightly he called me down, oh well, free monies, weeee

going all in pf with KK when you KNOW he has AA is BAD.

God I'm such a donk sometimes. I have no idea how the hell I came to the idea that it was a good play.

so i started playin some FR and i cant believe how many nits there are. most of the ppl who sit with full stacks have less than 10vpip.

then there's the shortstackers with less than 10vpip. rofl. they buyin for min in 50NL and play the pushbot game. sounds a lot like 5000NL. but i wonder how much these guys at 50NL make. =D

but these guys are mostly calling station nits so i have to wait to outflop them. lol. war of the nits =]. im prolly goin to play some 100nl fr tommorow since i got the hang of how to be the ultimate nit.

but the fish is easier to beat because ur playin way better hands than he is open limpin/raisin with. =] man.. i wonder how these ppl can keep depositing. all the 50vpip+ fishes. rofl

i think its helpin me become a better player because at 6max i think i kinda overplay all my hands.

I think posting last night got the tilt out of my system. I played a few hands this morning with pleasing results.

I'm up to $31.34, not bad for my third session.

The biggest pot I've been in yet was LOL:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/217916
Since 96 off is the greatest starting hand ever lol.

The AA was a bit annoying, but yeah, whatever.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/217926



During current Hold'em session you were dealt 430 hands and saw flop:
- 40 out of 61 times while in big blind (65%)
- 3 out of 60 times while in small blind (5%)
- 31 out of 309 times in other positions (10%)
- a total of 74 out of 430 (17%)

total won: $10.75

After restarting online poker, I've found a new found pride for being an online player opposed to being a live player.

Been running well and playing my best on NL10, and hope to be on NL25 tomorrow~

Not too many interesting hands played today, mostly just me flopping monsters and getting paid (NL10 anyone? =))

Quitting smoking pot has really helped my game, I must admit.

I moved from my living with my dad in Carlton to living with my best mate Sam in East Brighon yesterday. My room isn't ready yet so I'm staying in the small one but I'll be moving into my big one later this week. Expect some balla pictures of my new digs.

After almost a week without poker I'm going to finally get back to it tonight. Plan is for a trip to play 1/2 and 2/3 at crown and some SNG and then home for the late-night PStars donkaments and some 25NL.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO Lack of content.

Well I've decided to start a silly blog here in order to keep myself motivated and also track results a little bit.
I'm a low stakes player, currently NL10 with a $400 roll.

I started out my poker career with depositing $75 to pokerstars. I promptly played way out of my roll by joining one of the first few liquid poker tourneys and ended up taking it down, loldonkaments, which got me up to somewhere around $300 and then I placed 4th in the lp tourney the week after bringing me to around $350. I then donked it away to $150 playing really horribly in a bunch of STT and I've been playing up from NL5 6-9 tabling since then.

I recently placed 6th in the 180 player $4 tourny, and 7th in another (KK vs A8). I've been playing 1 $6 turbo STT every now and then while watching mythbusters and have been doing half decent. Except I bubbled 2 in a row with stupid beats, AK lose to A8, and A9 lose to A2.

edit: Since everyone likes pictures and I've been watching mythbusters. God kari is hot.
