Poker Blogs

Hi, I am Mathja many of you don't know me, but I have been reading the site and hearing you guys at ventrilo for about a year, but I have not posted much.

Anyway I am currently playing NL(.02/.05) at stars. This site has really helped me in improving my game, so thank you LP. I will use this blog to let you know a little more about me.

I am studying Aplied Mathematics and Economics in Mexico city, and I have 4 addictions: cigarretes, diabolo (you might know this as chinesse yo-yo), poker and chess. So if you are bored and want to play chess on yahoo PM me any time!

Well December was a rough month of playing, as I was at NL 200 on stars for almost all of it and took stabs at NL 400. When all was said and done, I ended up losing more than I won in November and was lost as to whether or not I could still win at poker. Then I went to the PCA, and figured out what I was doing wrong...

...So I drop down to NL100, where anyone with any small amount of brain power can suceed. Applied the changes to my style (Going from 18/13 nit, to an aggro tard at 25/20) and poof~ Re: Jan 19th, my return to small stakes hold'em!

My monster 5700 hand session a few days ago, up 18 buyins over 9 tables.

I'd like to thank dont_bother0, FrinkX, TalentedTom, casinocasino, and PoorUser for the inspiration to become an aggro monkey. Watching dont_bother0 play at the PCA made me realize a lot of things about those weak/tight 2+2 regulars that infest PokerStars' low stakes NL hold'em. Sorry, I can't release all the good stuff I learned. But as you can see, it's been working:

Hi

I had around 320 at the end of my last blog.
Since then, i've been running crazily good, or i've finally developed a style for 6max.

I've made 180 over the past 3 days, including 1 day where i lost a bit.

I'm feeling pretty good about my game so far. Although I got sucked out quite a fair bit, I made a few suckouts also.

I'd appreciate anyone who would give me a few pointers every time I post a hand. They really do help.

Here's a graph of my BR over the past three days.

i just dropped 2 buy-ins in like 300 hands.

i hate this game. i dont know why i waste my time with it. i should cash out my $600 and go buy myself something nice.

museum trip went well. i dont find myself drawn to her emotionally though.

i'm dead inside.

i think i'll try donking around on NL 10 for a while.

today i played only a little because i had to learn to school some and also to play some starcraft games.

a friend of mine wanted to come and watch me play poker so that he can possibly learn something. so he came and i opened up (only) 3 tables of NL200. i was explaining him most of my moves and i think i played pretty solid. and i also run pretty nice, so although the session was very short, less than an hour, i managed to make $319 (over 33ptbb/100 yay). most of it was actually won in small-to-medium hands in which i either stole the pot or value-bet my marginal hands.

then i had to play some starcraft games (wgtcl, ...) and after that i started to learn some. but it was boring of course so after a while i got this idea to play 1 table of another poker game while learning. so i opened up 1 table of pot limit omaha 5c/10c 6max on stars and started playing. i dont know if i was so lucky, but it seemed like almost every hand i got dealt preflop was very playable. so i kept raising like 40% of hands preflop all the time and i also kept flopping something very often. after about 45 minutes i was up almost $40 (4 buyins). then i lost 2 sick allins (well not that sick probably but i thought they were sick) and decided to finish to resume my learning. i ended like $19, which is still pretty decent imo

i also made a screenshot that proves how many pot i was winning all the time during the session.

I played a few smaller sessions the other day.
It's amazing how I can run over one table and get wrecked on another... Down 4 buy-ins on one and vice versa on the other one :-D I ended up about two buy-ins and that's when another kid on my dorm floor came in and asked me to ship him about 15.00 i then saw him playing at one of my tables @ 50NL...

It wasn't very long before he ended up sitting out @ about 32.00 and I did the same with about 70 after making a nice bluff...

I had KQs in the SB. MP 3-bets. I flat.

Flop comes 3 2 3. I lead out for 3/4 pot for about 4 bucks. he comes over the top for about 14. I tank it a bit and re-raise for 45. He ends up telling me he has JJ and folds.

I show the bluff and yell @ my roomate SHIP IT

Next hand i get A10s Suited on the button. another person in MP 3-bets, again I flat. Flop comes A 8 10 rainbow. He comes out for a pot sized bet and I insta-pot it back. He goes into the tank before mucking. I really thought i was getting paid by any ace there due to my last hand, but I guess these people are just too smart for me.

Soon after i ended up leaving and joined a 10NL table because i saw my friend was playing on it and i started to drink some Whiskey. Make a long story short... I dropped 20 bucks in 30 minutes ... I tell you, Drinking is pretty -EV for poker

After that my roomate and i began to drink more vodka/jim beam until we were ready to roam meet some new people :D

We ended up in a room watching beerfest which i had to leave 1/2 through @ 4am because i felt kinda sick so i just went back to the dorm and crashed for the night.

Hopefully I can put in some nice sessions this week and begin padding my roll for 100NL which i should be moving up to very soon.

I can't decide one type of game to stay with. Sometimes I feel like playing sngs and Ill play them. At first I thought i was doing pretty well cashing in the majority of sngs i played, but then I had a session or two where I cashed in none...

I think the only way for me to make money consistently is cash games, but I get bored 12 table grinding pennies.

WHAT TO DO AHHHHHHHHHHH !?!?!?!

So last night me and a few guys went out to this bar. It sucked so we left soon after. As we're walking home, we get pretty hungry because you know its like 2 am and we're drunk and you just need to go stuff your face with something, might as well be a delicious sandwich.

So on the way home we go into jimmy john's, this sandwich place. My 2 buddies each order a sandwich. Im looking over the menu and my eyes come across the gargantuan. here is the description of it:

This sandwich was invented by Jimmy John's brother Huey. It's huge enough to feed the hungriest of all humans! Tons of genoa salami, sliced smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, turkey & provolone, jammed into one of our homemade french buns then smothered with onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato, & our homemade italian dressing.

what a fucking massive sandwich, the workers told me there was over a pound of meat on it, so the sandwich was probably at least 1.5 pounds including the lettuce, tomato, bread and condiments. so we sit down to eat and im mowing down my sandwich like none other. I sort of took a deep breath about 2/3 the way through and my buddy Georger looks at me and goes I bet you I could eat 3 of those in one sitting. Obviously im like SIDEBET!!!

Since Georger had already eaten a sandwich, we had to make the bet 2 more sandwiches. I gave him 3:1 odds on a 20 dollar bet and he got to take a shit before he started. However, he had to finish both sandwiches in 25 minutes and he couldnt puke for an hour. He's a big guy, like 6'0 320, but I still thought it was a good bet because all the Jimmy John's workers were screaming YOU HAVE NO CHANCE MAN and it took me a while to finish that sandwich.

so we start the bet at 2:37, i set an alarm on my phone for 3:00 meaning the 2 minute warning for him. He fucking sat there with a fork demolishing the sandwiches. Things werent looking good for me when he finished the first sandwich at 2:46. I thought he would slow up as I saw him give a few deep breaths and stretches but the man just kept going and finished at 2:58. i scowled and said "I'm tired and going to bed", so i threw 60 dollars down on the table and start walking to my room. Then to add insult to injury my fucking phone alarm starts going off reminding me of how badly I was destroyed. I went to bed angry at myself for making a food bet against a fat man.


So I wake up this morning and georger is obviously feeling like shit, but he wanted to go to best buy to spend my money on a bunch of movies, so I tagged along and ended up buying the whole fucking store. I spent 310 dollars on fucking movies. Here's what i got:

the wire season 1, prison break season 1, the godfather 1, layer cake, gladiator, fight club, magnolia, city of god, robocop/terminator double feature (awesome purchase baby), true lies, braveheart, saving private ryan. ong bak (that tony ja thai warrior movie), american history x, donnie darko and scarface. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

But now I have the worst bad beat of all time. Nothing in the world pisses me off more than removing those fucking secure labels from the new dvd box. why would the fucking dvd distributors find the need to not only throw the celophane wrapping on the dvd but also put the annoying secure label which takes like 20 minutes to remove on there. Nobody is going to fucking change the movie thats inside, thats what the wrapping is for. At least make those things easier to remove, I dont want to have to spend like 2 hours opening my fucking movies up. it irritates me to no end.

oh actually there is one thing i hate more than that. THE NEW STARS BUY CHIPS BOX OMFG. It's fucking the most annoying thing of all time. Look at this piece of shit:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/omgbadbeat.JPG

fucking, when you reload or buy in, you have to click INSIDE THE LITTLE CIRCLE. you cant even click the line. whats worse is you cant press up and then press enter, it doesnt work. so rigged and annoying, i hope PS comes out with a patch and 1984s this thing and I can pretend like it never happened.


ok time to shower and get ready for some football baby. id like to see a pats/saints super bowl but i suspect it will be colts/bears. oh well whatever, the jets are playing golf right now so who really gives a shit what happens as long as i get to see good games and maybe rex grossman suffering a broken collar bone.

Ok, so I've got like 25 USD or something untill I hit 4k and try another shot at NL100. I've got like 250 USD on party too, which I use to play some omaha hi/low. It's nice to learn a new game, I'll try to get a little roll going on party so that I can game select a bit better and I've got a livegame coming up in a few days. This I'll be a really fun week I hope. And if it doesn't work out I'll join a Ju-jutizu-class anyway so I can fuck someone up/get my ass kicked to feel better.

Been on a pretty sick heater since moving down to 100NL. Yesterday I finished a 2K hand session up 10 buyins, and today I played another 500ish hands for 3 buyins.

Nice to run good after losing so much at 200NL.

I wasnt tired, so I decided to just keep playing poker...

but I didnt feel like playing 6.5SNG, so I just loaded up 40$ into a NL200 6 handed table.

Worked it up to 125~ or so... haha. I didn't suck out or put terrible beats on anyone, just played solid.

Here are my stats:
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 112 hands and saw flop:
- 7 out of 21 times while in big blind (33%)
- 0 out of 20 times while in small blind (0%)
- 9 out of 71 times in other positions (12%)
- a total of 16 out of 112 (14%)
Pots won at showdown - 1 of 2 (50%)
Pots won without showdown - 22

I thought NL 200 was supposed to be kinda tough? Guess not

My Daily Stats:
Starting Bankroll : $145.16
Hands Played : 112
Net Profit/Loss : +$81.30
Ending Bankroll : $226.46
