So in order to help myself make more(some) profit i've come up with the idea to use acronyms for common notes that i write down while mass tabling. I'm sure some of you might already do this, so would be great to contribute. I need to use acronyms so i don't time out while typing.

Anyway so far i've got these:

too passive to bet missed draw MDNB
tiny bet size 3barreled with weak range TBWR
bet size indicator of hand strength BSIS
stabbed at untouched pot STAB
folded to pressure even though draws
didn't complete FTP
donk minbet with draw(and only draws/air) DMB
....and looking for more note acronyms if anyone could help :D

So far i did really well in the $50 HU SNGs. on my laptop i have quite a few games. something like 50. in which i did well. for sure a 60-40 margin or something. i usually feel really confident with my play. i see quite some opponents play hands in ways postflop that i dont really like. and then today i started with all that confidence. in the GRAPH today started at the first time i hit $518, with some swings i was doing really well.
now i'll put the graph of all the games i have on my desktop here to give you an idea of what's going on.

and now a hundred fifty games later i just have no idea what to do? quit these games? as you can tell from the graph i am running really bad. it's actually hard to lose this fast if you are trying on purpose. but i think in HU sngs there isnt that much variance.

what's really bugging me is that by this time the # of games starts to be pretty reliable in saying i suck.

i can easily beat 100nl cash HU does anyone know how that translates to HU sng?

i'm not tilting. but i did rematch like 11 times against someone i thought really sucked but he went 6-6 against me so i still can't prove it and i rematched a guy a few times i won some relatively easy games against yesterday but he crushed me so i quit with my current confidence it didnt look so +EV anymore.

So I played in the NL5k game tonight (aka GBP 1/3) at the Vic in London. It was interesting; it's clearly still a soft game, but it was different from live games in the US. Maybe it was just variance, but it seemed fish here understood preflop raise-sizing, and the concept of taking the initiative. I saw fish iso-raising other fish light, nit-regs squeezing light, etc. It seems preflop is much more solved among the live crowd here than in the states. That said, people still played super-face-up post flop and spewed horribly with TPNK and the like. As an aside, playing poker not in your home currency means it feels like play-money and you don't care about winning or losing.

Hands of note:

-I iso a fish with J5cc (Jackson Five, wut wut), get min3bet from an okay-ish player in the sb, fish folds, I call (?) 130bbs deep. Fold to a 2/3 pot cbet on QJxc (?). Still not sure about this one.

-I cold 4bet a fish 95bb bb deep with KK, shove 50bb into like a 60bb pot on the flop and he folds.

-I open 98dd in MP, get calls out of the blinds. I cbet 2/3 on J64ss, get one call. I check back an 8h turn. River is the 8c, fishy player leads 1/2 pot. He has less than a PSR behind so I tank/shove, he calls with 75dd. I'm pretty sure he's bet/reluctantly-sighing-calling JTo on the river so I like my play.

-I iso with A4hh, get a cold caller (fish) and the original fish. 653ss flop, I lead 2/3, I get a call and a minshove. I call, other fish calls. 7s turn, fish 1 checks, I bet 1/3 pot. He calls. River Kd, he checks, I bet 1/2 pot, he calls. I win vs 73cc (sidepot fish) and 65o (guy who shoved).

-I win a lot of pots by iso-ing and c-betting.

Results:
+135 GBP from poker
-75 GBP from getting massaged most of the time I was there (such a sick service that I would pay for in just about any setting)

Unfortunately did not get to catch F4Zi, ah well.

If I made an FTP account for my girlfriend, would I be able to deposit money into the account using my bank account, or would FTP ban the account or something?

Surefire signs someone blows at poker? They are playing on their phone. Further, ask them what they are playing, if their answer includes the word "Texas", slap them, in the FACE, even strangers.

Brb, gonna go download Texas hold em with Phil hellmuth, maybe even cash out some bankroll and invest in the little green book, possibly a second little book of color if im feelin frisky.


In before, "I have poker on my phone"

Last night I started to play SNG's on Pstars per the advice of my father. I scored for 1st in only my 3rd attempt at 2.20/180 man SNG's, I think I will grind these for a while to rebuild my roll. Anyone have any good sights for strategies and info on SNG play?

thanks

No graphs, win 7 means that I wiped HEM, haven't bothered to reinstall just yet.
Almost back to moving up to NL100, rush poker has been really good to me, and I'm expecting tons of rakeback tomorrow, to boot. I should really start running HEM again, just so I can get pretty graphs and overanalyze my stats and level myself to hell

My quantum mechanics midterm raped me, and the rest of the class, so I'm sitting just below average. I don't know what I could have studied to avoid the rape, so it's not bothering me that much. Thankfully it was only 20%.

Expecting to play tons of poker during reading week (which starts on the 13th, if anyone wants to set up sweat sessions for nl50/100).

yay pointless blog

please Response run good ONE TIME.

What's the best place to play in London (tonight)? I am probably just going to play 1/2 or 1/3 because that's like 25/50 usd.

London LP'ers are welcome to come try and take my money or share a drink. Fair warning: I'm probably only going to be out playing briefly because I have work early tomorrow.

Need a new key and SC Installation files. Just got a new pc and lost my starcraft cd ages ago, also can't buy a new one since I can't pay on the battle.net server without using a credit card (guess what, I have none). Anyone that can help get me set up with the SC installation files and a VALID key (preferably bought from the blizzard site himself) will get $25 on stars after I manage to log in on bnet.

If anyone wants to meet up, I'll be playing cash games (10/20 NL in the smaller room) all day starting at 1:00pm PST tomorrow til like 9:00pm. I'll be wearing a blue hoodie and possibly a beanie. Don't be afraid to say hi if you see me! I don't bite! I'm here with GoGators86, A2SteakSause, TradeByDay, Hardcory, Webzilla, and BMW_Golf_Pro2 so I'll introduce ya to the gang if you find me. Ok GL!
