Are you fucking serious....by LikeASet, October 25
After my typical 18 hours of work from my saturday and sunday waiter shifts at the restaurant, I fall asleep around 1:00 a.m. this monday. Now I'm awake barely 3 and a half hours later for no fucking reason and my monday class scheduel is 12:00 p.m.-8:50 p.m. Plus I commute to school 2 days a week and the commute consists of 1hr driving to school and 1hr of driving back to home.
Gotta read about and write a paper on the Asian Currency Crisis before my 12:00 p.m. class today because I was too lazy to do it on Thurs/Friday.
Fuck, sooo not looking foward to today. Feel like shit now, and prolly going to feel like more shitty at the end of the day.
I leave my T.V. on sometimes when I feel asleep, and I happen to wake up to this stupid Penis Pump infomercial...
"The End Game"
Don't think I have time for poker anymore (these Chinese kids in HK study too much and the bell shaped grading system is annoying). Time to throw all my time and energy into Trading/Investment Banking. Plus I have other opprutunities that I can maximise.
I have barely played in the last 12 months probably 150 hours.
It was always a means to an end.
Had so much fun though while I could enjoy it with some insane out of the world swings.
The best pocket money in the world.
First 1.5k hands of this was my return after like 6 months, clicking buttons cos I'd forgotten what to do lol
So hard to learn and advance when getting consta-raped every time I go all-in though, I have lots of things to improve on but I guess just keep playing the way I am now, cos I'm just not sure what to change. Even if I was at EV, these results are still crap. Could be running bad in non calculable ways like coolers and stuff and also small sample size so whatever.
Also I've been encountering this thing where I tried to strive for "value" all of the time like I should, but keep hanging myself on better hands but against fish of all people. It's like when they limp call hit 2pair/disguised straight on the flop and I b/b/b with TPTK they call all streets and own me... not nice (because I know they also do this with midpair or 77 on Ahigh board)...
Oh well what can you do? Fortunately take 2 was these last 10 days so happily I get a free $25 from FTP which is cool.
this def has been a sick month the week I made the last blog I had won 44k the 4 days before putting me up 30k for the month but lost 45k from week till last wednesday putting me down about 15k for the month then I went to play live on Thursday till today and won 35k so I'm up 20k now sorry no graphs! will split the rest of the month between online and live (monday - thursday online and weekend live)
I tried to sit at some tighter tables to see if I could play against some players with reasonable stats. I can't.
I'm still playing really loose preflop, but I don't think thats my problem.
I am spewing really hard post flop and don't know how to react when people fight back. Since they usually just fold...I really shouldn't be giving them action when they fight back =(.
I'd love some more feedback on the hands i've posted.
But in a lot of ways you learn nothing when you run good. Glad this isn't my day job lol.
I have clinic at 8am tomorrow but will go through today's hands closely tomorrow if I have time.
If anyone uses msn and wants to talk micro full ring, do send me a pm
Well, had some promise tonight...was 4/100ish in the 2 dollar rush rebuy....got like.....80th or something ... for like 30 bucks...so ok return on investment....also was top 100 in a 5 dollar 6 max on PS...so that was like...15 bucks....
The 6 max ended crappily with someone hero calling me with 3rd pair on a k496A board that i 3bet pre, check check, he checks i bet he raises i call and shove river remaining like...15bb and get called by TT... w/e...i had q9 and put him on an underpair to the board...and an underpair to my nine....i was close...guy was weak...w/e
in the rush i just got 3bet to a shitty stack after i'd built up and then 3bet shoved KJs 20bb deep and get snapped with A6o...nothing u can do...
In other news, poker=profitable and i just need time to put in more volume
Showdown Hero shows,
christos9 doesn't show,
TOMYS33 doesn't show,
stagione doesn't show,

Hero wins $1434.90 USD from main pot
Hero wins $780.00 USD from main pot
Well I noticed that when I filter for "did bet river = true" I got only 714 instances over a ~65k hand sample. Seems low. My river agg % is 25% which seems low too.
anyway, what I thought I was most important was that my nonshowdown line is +2200 over this sample, and my showdown winnings are only +713.
I filtered for "saw showdown = true" and got 306 hands, "saw showdown = false" was 408 hands or thereabouts.
Wondering what I should take away from this, seems that I need to bet the river more often with bluffs, cuz I'm making tons of money in nonshowdown winnings when I bet river with my nutted hands...
any tips? guess I'll report back after a couple sessions of trying to go crazy on the river
I need to take a break for the rest of the month to work on uni stuff.
I got 2500 word report incl. research due in 24 hours and I haven't started (I studied a lot for it and know the theory, but still I need to do a lot of research.
This month was heavily influenced by the fact that I have been ill for 2 weeks out of 3, my mindset was sub par and and the run bad affected me more than I'd like.
Basically I exercised heavily, got ill, got back to exercise too soon and fell ill again.... This shit sucked, and I need to be 100% before I go swimming/weight lifting again.
My game has been volatile as well, and I started robot playing, playing too much oop and being a POW on the river, its easy to get into a rot with multi tabling.
The adjustment was that I started to play too tight, folding blinds and my red line bombing because of that.
I focused on HEM filters to identify where I am losing money, and it was the BB/SB - I was folding too much there by playing passive/folding too much.
SB/BB Graph: http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/7805/lolja.png
You can see around 7k hands where I ran the filter and realised I need to look for spots where I can exploit people from the blinds.
I was always doing this, but I never managed not to spew massively oop, and I need to choose my spots in the blinds carefully and not be too obvious/imbalanced against the regs.
One thing I have also noticed how NL50 at Stars has changed over the span of 1 year since I was playing there seriously/not just weekends. 4bet bluffing is now a complete standard, and most non-weekend regs are 24/18/ 6-10% 3bet Tags, and there is so few fish compared to the past that simple bumhunt+avoid regs 100% of the time doesn't cut it anymore.
Being aggressive with picking spots carefully and playing a non-spewy game does
P.S.
As always, if you could click on my hands and post comments that would be awesome!
title should be "same shit, different year" lol.
anyway imma try and speed up the process(agony) and move up at 20bi per limit to lessen the misery.
i need to clear around 76kvpp till december so if i can't move up to 100nl again by then ill just reupload monies for that very purpose. gg me
20k VPP Day almost +10k day :(by Joeingram1, October 23
FML seriously never been so tilted over a +4k session. I had my first PED day of the month so far today and loaded up a 2/4 session and played for about 7 hours. My goal was to make 10k and i really felt like I was on my way and playing my A+ game and crushing. Then I started to lose my focus and ped started wearing off a little and I told myself if i got down to +5k for the session I would stop, so obviously 1k later I finished up and the dream I had was over.
I was manage to rebound with a 20k vpp day though and am at 211k now for the month. Just barely behind pace but still looking good. Here is graph for the session, going going oing going and then fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
