I can'r remember when I had a session as good as this one, its by far the best one since I started working.
6 hours of grind well spent
+I watched 2 DC vids
- latest 2m2m episode (by far the best one, if we discount the playboy ladies maybe), and what I seriously don't understand is why they didn't do the lock down right from the beginning.
I would really love to see at least one true grinder of JoeIngram's calibre there.
-I also have seen The Poker Star
I must say that it was epic, best show ever and everybody has to see it. Not only I got a great lesson on how to read people when you are not at the poker table, but some seriously advanced theory was mentioned.
All under the command of the best Australian poker player!
Other shiz:
-My Executive office chair finally arrived. Its awesome as fuck and I can't believe I didn't buy one earlier
-What also arrived is my new phone. Its one of them 'smart' touchphones with QWERTY keyboard and MS software. Excel, Outlook, Diary, PDFs what have you.
Too bad that Pokerstars don't do mobile market just yet, starting a donkament and playing the final table on the bus/at college/work mens room would be awesome.
Here in Canada its Thanksgiving this weekend which means lots and lots of food and a long weekend!! Damn I love turkey and pumpkin pie. mmmm lol. I had a million tests this week at school so needless to say I am very glad this weekend is a long one lol. When I got home I checked my mail and saw that UPS came by with my shit I ordered off FTP but I must have just missed them. I decided to go pick up my Poker chips / Poker table cover before I drove home back to Cambridge. I gotta say they are both pretty nice. I cant to play a game with the new chips / table and take all my boys money muahaha lol.
I was driving home and my buddy Brent called me up and asked me if I wanted to hit up Octoberfest. Where I live they have a MASSIVE Octoberfest celebration every year. It is the second biggest one in the world next to the celebrations they hold in Munich Germany. Anyways basically its just a huge shit show and all you do is drink your face off lol. We hit it up every year and its a blast. Literawlly right when I got back home my buddy Brent was waiting at my house lol. I rushed in, got changed and off we went. We went over to my friend Cheryl's place to get a pre drink goin with her and her other friends. We headed out around 9:00 which might seem early but these events get so packed that if you dont get there before they reach capacity your fucked because the line up is retarted.
When we got there we had to wait a bit but thankfully the line wasnt big at all. It was a pretty shitty night out though and it was raining so waiting int he rain kinda sucked. This event was being hosted by a rock radio station called Dave FM so needless to say they played rock all night lol. They had these two cover bands play that were really good. The one band I think they were called No Guff or some shit but they were an ACDC cover band and they killed it! After that they had some KISS band play which was kind of a let down because persoanlly I dont like KISS at all. They should have had KISS play first and then had ACDC play after imo. The night was a lot of fun though and I just got compeletly shit faced lol. No big stories though unfortunately lol. Just a fun night out drinking with friends.
Poker wise things have been going pretty good for me despite putting in a really small volume so far this month. Ive just been really busy with school and stuff and its been hard for me to make time to grind it out. Ive played 7k hands this month and so far Im up $500 which is pretty nice lol. Ive been changing my game up a bit recently and the results are starting to show. Hopefully I can keep playing well.
But anyways, I got family and stuff here so I better go.
Later days,
Epic Session! 15k swing, 20BI at nl600!!by Joeingram1, October 10
So last night/this morning I probably played one of my sickest sessions ever in poker. Got to my place last night and loaded up some 5/10 and 10/20 games. I did not run very well in these games and quickly was down like 4kish, I kept on the grind but things were just not going my way and pretty soon I was down like 9kish, then the best player on stars supfoolio AA vs QQ'd me at 10/20 after 3betting me a bunch on all our tables and I decided I better stop playing 10/20. I was down around 11kish at this point and wasn't sure if I wanted to quit or keep at it, eventually I was stuck around 14.1k and started looking for some 3/6 games to play.
I closed down all my remaining 5/10 games I had open and my last 10/20 table where I had a 5.5k stack on and played a mix of 3/6 6m/fr and some 2/4 6m/fr. I really had no plan for what i was trying to accomplish by dropping down and continuing to play, I actually bought the 4k fpp bonus because I really couldn't run any worse, so I was not worried about the FPP Bonus Doomswitch. I never thought I would be able to actually chase losses by playing 3/6 but a bunch of hours later I had done it! 14k down was erased and I was finally up for the session. It sure was challenging playing all the nl600 6m games, and some of the full ring games while starting tables and playing a bunch of HU/SH but I was able to do well. Although I sucked at nl400
It was my first 10k hand session in a while and felt really good. Was an amazing feeling to actually get back to even and ship 20BI at nl600! I need sleep now though, need to play more tomorrow lol
Wanna buy something from LP clothing, seem to look good. I'm not sure about sizing, do they show EU sizes or US sizes?
I'm wearing "M" in Europe, any idea which size should I get?
Btw, just in case someone involved with those clothes reads this: you should have a version without liquidpoker.net writen on it, just the fish logo, would be way way cooler and I personally would wear it to University etc.
So I've finally managed to get in the green for the month (after almost 35k hands), I've finally understood what Bill Hicks says in this vid;
and I watched part two of ep 8 of two months two millions (up on pokertube). It felt so good, I could feel those feelings like he probably felt it and it was almost as cool as feeling them yourself.
I stopped @ the middle point and was up $550, figured WTF I should put in more volume so I played another session (which I have to cutshort to go out now Q_Q) and obv lost it all lol
cake poker + other updatesby collegesucks, October 09
i transferred $300 bucks to cake mostly just to help out milkman, but turns out this is one of the juiciest sites ever. the games are not as populated but the players are totally clueless. the regs have a ton of leaks and give me like 0 trouble. the fish are so bad but they somehow end up with huge stacks because the regs just never vbet properly against them but love to pay them off with crap. every night i've played multiple buyins deep with fish who donkbet 4x the pot on the river and fold to my shove for like 10bbs more 200bbs deep lol. given the 33% rakeback + deposit bonuses and the deucescracked free membership with $500 mgr, i think i can make a really profitable run with my 6 bi shot.
been running pretty shitty in +200bb pots though
1. 22 vs K9 on 29J9J all in on turn
2. 33 vs A6 on 3A7AA all in on turn
3. JJ vs AJ on AJ3Ax for a 400bb pot... fuck. (granted i misplayed this hand horribly by checking the turn after a flop c/r but whatever).
4. KK vs JJ twice, 4bet pots, all in on rag flop, got rivered J twice. wtf is up with these regs flatting JJ to a 4bet preflop... it's so retarded. they either go all in on rags flop drawing to two outs with 2 cards to come instead of 5, or they get minimum value vs AK. wtf tilt
wtfever despite this i'm up decently and i'm hoping to move up to 100NL within the next week
also, i have a full roll for 50NL on stars and i mostly mass multitable there, which provides a better hourly, but lately pt3hud has been giving me a ton of shit. i've been screwing around with the HUD and i inadvertently changed some critical graphics settings for a while and that totally tilted me. i lagged out of multiple tables and i couldn't play well at all under such conditions.
i fixed the problem and i should be on my way to play a lot better hopefully.
here's something that all microstakes players should do better. isolate high vpip fish... a LOT. even a hand like Q4s on the button has TONs of value vs fish in the blinds. cbetting is WAY too profitable vs these players. i guess you could run into trouble if you can't play all that well postflop, but i guess one of the ways to improve postflop is to get involved in as many spots postflop as possible. taking your own two cards into consideration, just kind of have a general idea about which boards to cbet, which boards to cbet once and give up, which boards to barrel, and which boards to check back. fish limps and you're in the sb with KTo/QJo/Axo.. raise it up and cbet your way to profitability.
also, if you have a decent hand, like top pair good kicker, bet the god damn turn.
So far, October is going pretty well. I'm up $250 not including rakeback, with rakeback I'm up $315 so it's going pretty well. I might take a stab at NL50 later on if not today then this weekend.
I'm playing in the Collegiate Starleague on Sunday for my school and my first match is against NonY, so i'm almost surely going to lose. Oh well.
Going to go out drinking soon, so good luck everyone at the tables. And please respect my raises at NL50!

he's been raising my bb, and i've been making tons of monies off of him, so i don't really like re-raising him unless i have garbage. particularly since he likes to raise with suited Ax and such. i almost never check behind flop in this situation considering i c-bet the majority of the time. i do this maybe 1/10's if that. it's ok to call here on riveR? especially if you've been winning tons of money? he can just jam his shitty A and hope to steal or split pot?

i think i can fold out most hands here, and i'm somewhat credibly repping TT or JJ esp since it's multi pot. i also like that i have the backdoor flush draw. initial raiser said he folded KK but i don't expect this to be the norm. like? dislike?

really wanted to shove river. put him on a flush draw the majority of the time. i thought about repping the flush draw myself and just shoving and getting called by KQ or A5, but just thought that's such a small % of his range so just opted to flat. is river clear shovE?

if i put villain on air and heart draw here the majority of the time, is it better to go ahead and c/r turn? or check/call and induce river bluff? i thought his heart draws had some pair as well or some inside straight draw so i opted to c/r here thinking i would get called a bit more than normal.

Since i got my roll yesterday 310 on fulltilt i played nonstop 13 hours 4 fulltilt tables session. Started out bad droped to like 230..then max point was 580 then i was sitting 4 tables all over 100.. on even had 182$.
But then i though i play some 50$ hu where it got bad since i got money in good in 140$ pots and got sucked out. So finished in end 470. So still not bad but not so good then 580.
What i can say fulltilt 25nl. They are real nits nits nits. I played laggy style what is not my style at all. Just any connectors suited connectors any ace any 2 facecards etc was raise almost any position.
And i 3bet reg raises also alot.
They really didnt like me and didnt want to play at me then i had raised 4 times in row pre. It was easy chip chip chip up most part. Main thing was to cont bet like u valubetting and shoot twice then u sense hes weak and 3rd if u put him on a draw.
Lost some 3-4 3bi+ pots also in session but it didnt matter i knowed if i keep it up i get it all back.
Most funny pot was then i pot preflop with K6spades utg+1. And get called by 99. flop comes 457 + spades i check raise pot on flop and get it in, flush hits on turn and he was mumbling what a joke bad beat for me and i am donk with k6 blalblablaa.
20k Mth, 10k Swings, 5/10+, Live Poker TR, MOVING!by Joeingram1, October 09
Okay time for my first official blog post in a long time on here! Thanks for reading and following the blog, hopefully I will be able to update more often with graphs and interesting hands on my quest to rise thru the stakes and play 500/1k with Phil Ivey lol.
For those who missed my 30/30 Dating Challenge thread on 2+2, I am sorry. It was basically a challenge I made for myself where the goal was to go on 30 dates in 30 days with women. I would update the thread with trip reports from each date with pics and write about the sexcapades that went down. It was a hugely popular thread and they even talked about it on the 2+2 Pokercast! its a few minutes in
Some of the highlights included, me leaving an asian girl at the beach in chicago, going to a concert with random blonde girl, end up falling for bulgarian girl and eventually go to a Pink concert with her before it all falls apart, sex up random black girl, hispanic girl, white girl with kid, etc..
Eventually someone got upset about my exploits and sent messages out to most of the girls on my facebook friends list about the dating thread and how I am writing about it all and other means choice words. I had to get the thread deleted because I really didn't want a bunch of people I know IRL reading about it but while it was there, the thread was AMAZING!
I am actually moving to La Jolla in San Diego later this month with small stakes player Dashornman and I look foward to picking up where my 30/30 challenge left off as I attempt to conquer the women of SD!! Stay Tuned for updates on this!! If anyone lives out there let me know!
I wrote up a trip report from my live poker session I played the other night, you can read that here if you would like
I am still planning to do my 1 Million Hands in 1 Month at 6max prop bet in January. I decided to do it then for a few reasons. First, I won't reach SNE this year so I figure this will give me a good head start next year, also many of the regs won't be grinding for milestones/be at pca/taking time off/etc so games should be a little easier. Doing it in January also allows me to build up my bankroll some more and get maximum action on the prop (hoping for 60k+). I am actually very excited to attempt this and think it will be a real challenge for me! I am just worried that my recent high stakes playing with playing less tables will affect my ability/desire to grind nl100 for 15 hours a day for a month straight. We will see!
As far as poker goes, here's how September went for me. I started off making a few prop bets that I needed to play 300k hands, but before I went nuts on that I decided to start taking some shots at 5/10 6m/fr games that looked good. I started off doing well and was up around 10k before having a bad session and losing 6kish. I grinded back at lower for a few days and then decided to start shot taking more. I ran well/played well and ended up with my biggest poker month yet. I played some random 25/50, 10/20 also along the way and here are some of the fun HH's

Naturally I was feeling pretty good about the month and as October started I figured I would try the same things and see what happened. The first session went well but then I had a glorious -10k day with me running bad, trying to bluff Anksy off AA (featured in a deucescracked video), trying to make a play on Kingofcards after he lost alot to PA headsup. I was pretty sad after it all happened and decided to go back and play nl100 later that night and had a +21BI session. Then the next 2 sessions at nl100 I lost 20 and 15BI respectively and was all confused and shit and decided i hated full ring. The next day I started 24 tabling 1/2 6max, made 1k, got some confidence back and started taking 3/6 5/10 10/20 shots. The results since then have gone great and I have rebounded from being -12k to now up 2k for the month. Also I am FINALLY out of the negative on the God Almighty PokerTableRatings site much to the chagrin of all my PTR comment fans.

Some fun hands for sure! Some ask why I am playing so high and do I think I have an edge and am I fucking nuts? Yes I am nuts, I think I have an edge over awful fish players and because nl100/200 just doesn't excite me anymore. I want to feel the heart beating and 2k/4k pots get me excited to play poker again and I can actually play normal there. Compared to when I play nl100 and just go nuts and 3bet every hand and call every 4bet with atc. My overall results have been good so far but we will see what happens, I might make 50k, I might lose 20k, I would say its 50/50 either way but hopefully I will be able to take some 25/50 shots soon, I have to clear the 4k fpp and purchase my 5k milestone bonus and maybe with that monies I will take a 9k shot.
Besides all of that fun stuff, life has been going well and have been back in the gym everyday in preparition of the beaches in San Diego! Can't wait to get out there and enjoy nice weather/women all the time! Time go to sleep but thanks for reading the blog!!
Was going to move down to 1/2 to rebuild confidence when I hit -9k in 24 hours but then I godmoded 2/4 deep Finding some fishes helped too
Been considering doing some writing in my blog. I just have a hard time coming up with ideas to write about but I can talk non stop about anything. When it comes down to writing I jsut freeze up though. It's funny.
I've been a lifetime live player. Did pretty well in 1/2 at Mohegan, but never really played serious. I strive to be a student of the game, and I got a few good mentors. Basically online, I've been a donkfish for my entire life because I felt there was always a disparity between online and live play. So I'm pretty much fed up with losing online, and I am going to start playing smarter. Thanks to my mentors today! Especially Jeff .
