You guys know the song? Just a random song whichs name came to my mind when deciding how to call todays session. Really sick today. After a good but short beginning, I basically kept going down all the time losing every single hand until it stopped at -$1400 (which was almost -$1900 from where I was after the good start of the session).
So sick, never lost that much before in such a short time. Weird thing though, I didnt really care. I tried to think how bad it is, but nothing, no emotions. I was deciding whether or not to stop playing, but I was in some tourneys, so I decided to continue in the cash games too, because I didnt think that I was playing really bad (a few big mistakes yes, but overall play seemed to be ok).

So, I kept playing and although there was no sudden change or anything, after some short time I found out that i made like $400 back, so only a thousand down or so atm.
Then, I managed to win a very big pot with a marginal hand. I trusted my gut and since I was in a state of mind in which I almost didnt care about the money and results, I had no problems calling his bluff although it was for a lot of money.
After that I think I started playing really solid poker and with some good hands and some total idiots at my tables I simply managed to make it all back and ended it up at +$196.

So, today it went like 0 -> +500 -> -1400 -> +200. Sick. Here is the graph:

Overall I am basically stuck in the past few days. I made maybe $300 or $400 in the last week, which really isnt what I expected to make. Hopefully I will stop doing that many big mistakes and start doing better again. Also, my overall NL200 winrate dropped below 4ptbb/100, which isnt a big deal, but I wanted to keep it somewhere near 5ptbb/100. Basically, I need to start running good to catch up that tourney luckbox SakiSaki who already started NL400.

Ok so I'm back to NL100 with a better mind set and a better site when it comes to players and it's been gooood! The games are a tad bit more aggressive with a few players reraising it with more than just QQ+ and AK, however I have made a few good bluffs against AK or something similar with low PPs on a raggy flop when I've felt the opponent doesn't have a big PP. This has backfired a few times but I think I'm still ahead with this play and I will try to continue abusing these hands when I feel like they have nothing but ace high.

Also Muhweli has come to my tables on both the sessions I have played and I've stacked him during both of these. In the second session I flipped him for stacks with T9s v AA after hitting a pair and a fd on the flop. I couldn't hear the end of the ranting He can't whine though cause the hand was 47-53 and I always have +5% ME against him (Muhweli Equity).

I guess I could post some interesting hands but I don't care to go looking for them in my db now cause it's 3AM here :D Here's one that I already posted, maybe in my next post I'll try to look for hands that are more marginal, this is just funny, about the best situation I can put my money in vs 2 guys, the other drawing dead and the other has 4 outs

Ooookay, and here's the graph on my glorious return to NL100
http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/7061/returntonl100wp1.jpg

Obv I'm not expecting to keep the winrate that high but I'm quite sure I can keep it at 5 PTBB/100 if I don't go on a monkey tilt again... I'll be whining here if I do so but for now poker is gooood. I've been really lazy with school lately though, I'll try to improve that in the near future.

Ok, that's it for now. Cheers!

I was kind of bored of poker today,
and I didn't want to play any starcraft, since it would consume an hour or two of my hw time.
So I decided to play one of the $5 4-man Heads Up SNG.

I've had very little success in SNG's in the past.
I won this one, got $20.
*yay*

I decided to play a 2-man HU sng, for $5.
I won that one too.

I played in another 4-man HU SNG, and ended up winning that.

$35 in profit.

I haven't been doing too well in 10nl FR lately, so this was definitely pleasing.

Played full ring again today....played like crap my first session and still managed to have a good day. I also played more LAG than I had hoped. I think 14/12 like yesterday will be better than my 17/15 from today. I've had days where I don't even get 17/15 at 6max!

Today I played my first session of serious 8-tabling 400nl ever. Played two rollercoaster sessions of around 2k hands each. The games are a bit tougher than 200nl but man, theres so much dead money in these games. The regulars are a bit more agressive but I see players making fundamental misstakes all the time.
The play is generally a bit tighter than 200nl so Im probibly going to loosen up a bit once I get more used to the game dynamics. So far Im playing pretty nitty though.

I just wanna share a pretty bad ass hand I played at the end of my session. Biggest pot I have ever won
(Btw, ignore my retarded raise preflop, still not used to the betting amounts and I wasnt thinking straight T_T)

I have two books to read so i've only been able to put in 2-3 hours total the past two days. That being said, i'm up about 120. I'm still waiting for rakeback to kick in, I have no idea when I should get it, though. If anyone knows a good deal about UB's rakeback, let me know please.

Hello guys, i have been lurking a lot on this website during these last month at work

I used to play a lot of BW / War3 (under the nickname Emi.CsT) and i started poker like 6/7 month ago because of the free party poker offer

I have never really put "hardcore time" into poker though, but i intends to do it now, as i wanna see if it can be a lucrative activity.

Anyway, right now i am playing 2 / 3 tables at NL $10 on World Poker exchange.

The good thing about this website is that you get FULL rakeback and i juste love that, but the interface sucks and you cant multitables a lot because there is not enought player.

I think i am starting to dominate really well the NL 10 tables, at least when i am not tilty or in a bluff frenzy like i want to raise every single pot at every single street with air and dont believe my opponent...

Also one big point i need to work on is folding, i have real trouble folding anything like medium pair or more

I guess that is why i am in NL 10

Ok so far Bankroll = 285$
I ll try to move on in NL 25 when i reach 500 + 125

Yesterday was pretty crazy. Started down 2 buy-ins with a standard flop push with AK on an A-high flop that ended badly, and set < straight. Build back up to $0, then go back down, then get back to even was pretty much the story of my day.

Day 3 totals:
-$9.50 in 1,354 hands of NL $50.
Current BR: $2,744

Overall totals:
+$215.95 in 2,625 hands of NL $50

Eh so today started off really shitty @ NL 50 and 2 tables of NL 100

I got raped pretty bad D: and a few setups left me steaming

So I smartly jumped up to NL 200 and donked off 100 more before got a hold of myself.

I took a break and came back to 12 table NL 50 6-max and FR.

Here are the results

Im progressing pretty steadily at 10NL ending up +3BI/session on average. Im about to put $200 onto FullTilt for rakeback, free pokertracker, and the deposit bonus. Hopefully I should clear all that fairly quickly.

After I clear on Full Tilt I'm going to move the majority of the money from there onto stars and move to 25NL with about $800 or so. Ill probably play 25NL until about $1,300 or $1,400. I feel like I can safely move to 50NL from there.

I was scouting the FullTilt 10NL and 25NL tables today just to see what the games there were like in comparison to stars, and I saw this funny little hand

Yesterday I was sitting in the vent channel doing nothing after a hard day of pokergrinding, and felt the sudden urge to drink some beer. I bought myself beer and being as diciplined as I am I decided to stay off the cashgames and play some tours instead.

The only tour that was available during that time was a 11$ speed rebuy on partypoker. I like playing rebuys but I wasnt sure if speed rebuys where any good. Turns out, speed tournaments fucking suck. Its the biggest crapshoot ever. After first break average stack is like 4 big blinds. Me, having rebought like 15 times, was in pretty good shape after the break though.

Somehow I ran into some trouble, and I found myself sitting with less that 2 bigblinds at one point. Being the baller I am, I picked up AK and trippled up.

Everything went really fast and eventually I was CL at the final table after pulling of some sick suckouts and busting the guy second in chips with AK vs AQ. Winning after that was ez since I only got premium hands like AK, AQ QQ and everybody else had like 4 BBs.

$2500 to me. Ship it.

Now my roll is a bit over 15k so Im definitely going to start taking some serious shots at 400nl

Better than a losing session at least.

Well I played for 50 mins. on Full Tilt to finish clearing a $20 chunk of bonus....got screwed as usual.

AA < JJ AI PF for $20
set < set for $50
JJ < QQ AI PF against shorty

I had class and then worked on a group project for about 3 hrs....that was fun

I fired up NL50 6max and wasn't feeling it, lost $13, so I decided to try out some NL25 9max at the suggestion of Highcard. I didn't think I should jump right into NL50 9max as it has been a long time since I've seriously played FR.

Total $$$ Today: $59.5
