I was down 600 USD yesterday, then I won 2.2k or something in a few hours and this morning I'm down 650 again after among other things a really deep bluff vs Gawuss who had reraised me with 77 and hit a set. Evil. Anyway, I think I'm trying to be fancy a lot more often now and when it works out it's really good but sometimes it really blows up in my face. Whatever, it's great fun.

What's up bitchazzzzzzzz

So I finally made that goddamned video I mentioned a while back. However, I don't think I'm going to post a link on here, since it is a video of me playing the stakes I'm currently at. But, I do have it hosted, so if you want to download a copy just pm me or whatever and I will most likely send you a link. I play 3 tables of 400nl 6max on stars for about 30 minutes.

I'd also be willing to make more if people wanted - it was kind of a fun experience. Hopefully I'll get some good constructive criticism and not just "you raised 69s utg wtf?" etc. But, if somebody wanted me to make a video of a particular stakes or whatever I'd probably be down.

Played some Sunday tourneys today. Did horribly in all of them...stupid donkaments. I have been playing strictly ring games for so long that I have very little clue how to play tourneys. It just reminded me how much I dislike them.

Anyway, I've been wicked busy recently. School is almost over and I am pumped to have the summer mostly free to travel and play poker. I should be able to get in at least a couple sessions this week after my finals on Tuesday, and then it's off to beautiful Utah for 10ish days of rock climbing and mountain biking. Here's a picture of Moab, where we will spend at least one day riding:

I deposited $50 on wednesday to pokerstars. It was a pretty big hassle because I don't have a credit card so I had to deposit on an account I created for my mom. I got it on there now though. I'll keep this fairly short, I would HIGHLY appreciate some comments on my PT stats even though it is a relatively small sample (this is fullring). I should probably also note that I now have to pay $300 a month for insurance+my truck payment(I got a 2003 black chevy shortbed, I'll probably take some pictures of its sexiness and upload in the near future) It has really changed my outlook on money and poker. I have some new found discipline that I very much so needed and hopefully I can stick with it.

I also enjoyed this hand a lot. The table had got down to just me and this guy for about 20 hands. I won a hand off of him with middle pair for about 50bbs. He insta went on tilt and I made sure to never get out of line with him. This hand was about 25 hands later when some more people joined the table and I dunno I just found it to be rather interesting.

I'll preface this post with saying that i hate nothing more than people who complain about bad beats/coolers. I almost never do it and really hate it when people start im'ing me with these setup hands they had and expect me to show them sympathy. that being said, I am going all out today with my coolers in the donkaments today.


Played the major tourneys today. Hilarious what happened:


here's how i busted in the ftp sunday:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/187885

ftp mulligan:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/187882

stars 2nd chance:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/187886


Pretty sweet. Even sweeter since they were all in a short period of time, all within 45 minutes of each other.

Oh, i forgot about the stars sunday. The glorious stars sunday. With 1200 players left I am top 15 in chips. Then the following destruction happens:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/187765
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/187772


I go from top 15 in chips pretty close to the money, to out without even making the money. Insane. I thought a bit before calling the 99, i know it's pretty much an impossible fold to make but i definitely felt as if i was beat there. I dont want to be results oriented about it because it's just a cooler and it happens.

so to sum up the day, i busted from my 4 major tourneys with a set vs overset, AA v set, KK vs set, and a combination of losing an 85% advantage and a set vs a straight. man, i do not know how the online donkament players do it.

im gonna run a late night session at 3/6 to try to recoup the losses from coolerville.

You are probably thinkin "WTF!?! NL5 player talking about leaks." It's not a leak in my game properly, but it's something that causes some trouble sometimes.

First thing is that i usually play poker and read LP.net or other sites at the same time. My solution to that is to play more tables so there is no time to read anything. I'm fixing it, but sometimes i still do that.

The second one is that when i don't win a pott for a long period of time i start to play weaker hands. Now, when it happens and i start to get nervous, i just leave poker and watch tv for five or ten minutes.

Special attention to this hand:

Very bad... I just hate 2 pair...

So I played my first session on nl200 today. I was hoping that this time moving to nl200 will be different. But it was exactly the same as the last 2 or 3 times and I dropped $900.. I was completely card dead and when I actually had sth, turn or river was always killing me. I missed every draw, every double barrell didn't work. I only had one ~200bb pot (I lost it but I think I could've folded there). The rest were just small and medium ones. I'm pretty pissed off - not because I lost 5 buyins cause that's normal and happens from time to time. I'm only whining about the timing of this. Why does it have to happen whenever I try to move up to nl200? My roll dropped to like 5,9k so it's still pretty healthy for nl200 so it's not that bad. Now I'm gonna continue playing nl200 and I'll think what to do next if I drop to 5k. The game is easily beatable, I just need to get on the right track.

Ok enough of whining, I always feel bad after posting such stuff. Time to eat sth, watch an episode or two of Entourage and play an evening session.

Oh and Paris Hilton is going to prison for 45 days

Heey gaays whats up my name is Jannis lol i know it sounds pretty gaay but fuck it. iam from germany 18 years old and still go to school >.< lately i was playing nl100 on stars with my id taff_fish and most of it was on fr till i decided one day after running like horseshit to give sh a try because everyone is talking about how great it is .well what can i say you guys are right the players are just awful.iam probably not much better but who cares if i keep winning some monnies.i just decided to give nl200 a shot most of you guys probably would call me a br nit because i did wait till i reached 9k but you know what ? i dont care i just want to feel save when i make my decisions and not have to worry about it when i push my 72o on AKQ board. past days were great i lost motivation on poker but a good friend really got me to start play focused again and yeah iam running hot asss fUCK!! BITCHEZZ!! yesterday i had my biggest payday which was 8buyins today i only got 6 but it still feels great i hope i dont get a cooler on nl200 well when i drop to 8k iam probably moving back till i reach 9k again soo stay tuned !! wait i post some stats


MY STATS


Comments (5)       read entire blog

So, over the past 3 months, my bankroll has went from ~17k to ~2k. I lost some of it to tilt at 5/10(down 2k total there, so nothing major). The rest comes from god knows what. I have run like complete shit in all tournaments lately(since the mtt win). Here is a summary of how I run:

First FT after mtt win KK into AK, I lose
2nd, 3rd and 4th FTs AA into AQ, I lose all 3
5th mtt, KJdd on Td9dQx board - yes, I have the nuts. I am 2nd in chips. I get it ai vs chipleader, he has TT, turn 9. I lose.
6th FT AA loses to AQ (notice a trend here)
Then ive FT'd 4 or 5 more mtts lately, suffered tons of 2 outers, etc. Didnt keep trakc because its all pretty standard. Ask mfcmurray, he watches me run bad alwaysl.

Anyways, thats it for mtts

As for cash, well, lets just say I run even better in that. I have dropped most of the money in cash games. Played a little 2/4, but the rest is at 1/2 and .5/1. I basically run infinitely bad, just check the hands I post. I actually dont really post any of the abd beats anymore, but theres quite a few in there to give you a taste of how I run.

For any of you that think maybe I suck? Fuck you, I have had tons of players that are infinitely better than you, say I am a good player. Secondly, fuck all of you retards that suck at poker but seem to be on infinite heaters. I fucking hate you. Thirdly, fuck all you rich fucks that dont even need this money because your mommy and daddy make tons. Yet you still run good, constantly. FUCK YOU. I have my OWN college to pay for, all my own bills, etc. I fucking needed this god damn money.

I am cashing out my last 2k. I am playing off a stake russel offered me for the time being, and may look into other stakes which have been offered. I am going to take some time off, but I am not sure if I will ever return to being a full time player. LOL as I am typing this I just lost 4 of my last 5 tournies I had going to pure bullshit. lovely. Anyways, I will just play off a stake from now on. LOL GG my last one, K9 loses to K9s. YESSSSSSSSS I LOVE POKERS.

Whatever, fuck you all.

Hi there

My Poker career at NL 10 seems to not work out well

My main probelm is that i win a lot of small pots all the time
0.80 $ - 1,60 $ but i lose most of the big pots ...8-12 $
I don t get paid of with my monsters ...
I win alot of small Pots on the flop
And i lose almost all my big Pots .

I don t know if i ve just bad luck or if play it the wrong way.

i ve lossend up alot preflop in the past few days cause i realised that i never ever get paid off with my AA KK QQ hands when i play too tight preflop.
Furthermore people are willing to fold alot on the flop so my wide preflop range allows me to win all the small pots.

So now i opend up from ~ 16Vpip 12PFR to ~ 26 VPIP 20PFR.

Basically i go up 5 $ winning 8-10 small pots and then i lose a 12-16$ Pot .... i work my way back + 1/2 buyin by winning lots of small pots only to lose another big 16$ pot a few minutes later.

Anyone had a similar probelm ?

The pots i lose are mostly
2pair < straight
trips < flush
2pair < trips
Top pair good kicker < 2 pair.

It seems that if i have something good and get called on the flop
I am beat T_T

But when i have set,straight,flush or whatever everybody instantly folds ...
Same with Aces ,Queens and Kings.

f.e

I get Aces
AA

i raise preflop 4BB
get 2 callers

Flop Q2K
i bet 2/3 Pot both instantly fold
but if they call me i am alawys beaten by KQ or 222 set.

I was so frustrated with my poker results the the last days
that i stared to play some SNG again.
But i lost 1/2 of my small bankroll to incredible bad luck combined with tilting.

I have only about 50 $ left and i think i will donk them off
AT some SNGs just for fun. ( 50$ is about 36€ which is equal to 2 times partying at the weekend)
Then ill make a break

I plan start again at NL10 with a new 150$ Bankroll.
IN the near future.

GL everyone

So yesterday I had my IELTS exam and I think I did very good except for the reading part which was definitely fucked up. Like one of the reading tasks was about the proccess of producing a violin and I couldn't understand about half of the words. wtf. But anyway I owned listening and speaking, writing - pretty good. Only worried about the reading part a bit but should be ok too.

And as I said before - I'm done with the exam so I'm moving up to nl200. My roll is 6,8k a the moment. If I go below 5k or I feel that I'm not ready etc I'm going to move back to nl100. But I hope I won't have to do so. It's the 3rd time I'm trying to move up to nl200 and I think that this time I'll be able to do it. I feel much better about my game, discipline etc.

Yesterday I went with my mates to see Spiderman 3 and it was crap. I mean I expected it's gonna be like this but I'm bad at finding excuses. Then we went to some pizza place and ended up at a bar and had a few beers. I got home and started watching Entourage. I mean I watched one episode on Friday, but yesterday I finished the whole season 1 (only 8 episodes though). I wanted to go to bed early but I just couldn't stop watching and finally decided to call it a night when it was like 4:15am. This tv series is pretty good. Not as sweet as Heroes or Prison Break but it's good to watch some young ballas. BTW - does anyone know what's the name of the actress that plays Ari's (Vince's agent) asisstant? Well all the girls in Entourage are awesome but this one has sth special and looks different - I recognise her from some movies but I can't come up with any titles. I'd definitely hit it. Oh and there was Jessica Alba in one of the episodes So at the moment I'm downloading 8 GBs of Entourage (3 seaons) and 26 GBs of Sopranos (6 seasons) so I'll have a shitload to watch. But it's getting scary when I start watching some good tv series cause I simply can't stop. I just watch like 6 episodes in a row, go to bed, wake up and watch 3 episodes, take a shower, watch another episode while eating breakfast etc. So yeah I'll probably leave Sopranos for the future.

Now it's time to really focus on poker. I've got nothing else to do until about 27th May when my friend is visitting me so I'm gonna just devote my time to poker. Loads of playing, browsing forums, reading stuff, posting hands, talking poker, watching vids on CR etc. May should be my best month ever in terms of poker. And I'm fairly confident it will be. Ok time to get out of my bed after watching 3 episodes of Family Guy, take a shower, have a breakfast and pwn some noobs on nl200.

I haven't really posted any hands so here it goes.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1054137 - I know that this guy knows that this flop is very dry and there aren't very many hands hitting it so its a good spot to value raise 77 without being too worried about being beat.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1052733 - Same sort of thing in this hand, he probably just doesn't believe that the flop hit me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1062345 - This is kind of an odd hand. He is a loose player and capable of having 2nd or 3rd pair on the flop and since i showed a lot of strength by betting all 3 streets it doesn't really make sense for him to bluff here. That being said i know he is a tricky player and is capable of making random bluffs like this so i couldn't fold it for 500 more
