Ugh, totally lazy this month. I wanted at least 40k, and also 10k+ on top of that, but I was nowhere near on both parts. Just been pretty much on vacation, the past week I've been in Japan and haven't played a session at all. Hopefully I can just take that as a small break and really get back at it next month. This month was pretty much salvaged by rakeback and some flipping, ship it.
PS has offered me a real good deposit bonus for $600 since I never deposited and started from play money.
I will go travelling soon so can anyone accept $1.5k PS and deposit in my UK bank account? If you have online banking it's easy and you can just do it online without ever visiting a bank.
- 13k€ under equity
- Down like 3k or so after rakeback (I guess, +/-1k)
- Had a few sessions when I should've stopped earlier, might've taken a few poor decisions.
Good stuff:
- Learned a lot about Omaha, actually made a decent profit playing that this month.
- Had some sessions when I played really good.
- Managed to almost break even despite running so pisspoor over this sample that I'm fairly sure that the last 30k hands or so must be the worst run of my life.
Found out that I've got another month free from school (almost) so I'll try to get a lot of hands in, aiming for like 80k+ and if I make like 10-12k on 5/10 fairly fast I'll be back at 10/20 in no time. Also feels really good to have omaha as a back up when NL games are bad or I'm to tired to play and want to play lower.
As for traveling Prague was fun, Skåne was fairly weird but I ran into an old friend of mine (legendary for being one of the most banned persons ever on the Swedish forum Flashback) and it was fun having a few beers with him.
Think I've got a little bit of a cold, but other then that I feel really good. Even though I'm ahead of schedule as far as my monthly goals since I took a break from law school it'd be really nice if I could get big month now to really feel that I'm back on track since I won't be able to play super much in November and December.
Since I moved to Taipei, I haven't played much badminton, but hope to correct that in the coming months. Gained some weight (71kg -> 80kg) and will trim that down!
Before today I was up 10.6k for the month, this morning I loaded up 6 tables, some Stars some FTP and began to play. Things started off bad right off the bat. I ended up playing the longest session of the month, and possibly of the year for me, getting in 3813 hands and playing about 7.5 hours without a break. I ended down 7.6k, almost 8k below EV. Whenever I coolered someone they sucked out, I managed to lose KK v TT on KJT in 3bet pot, AA v QQ AIPF, AA v KK AIPF, 88 v 34 on 763 in 4bet pot vs some super retard maniac, TT v JJ against a 39/39 with 40% 3bet and 0% fold to 3bet, 0% fold to 4bet. Lost tons of other suckouts, flips, coolers and didn't manage to get there with barely any of my draws.
The only good things I can take from this are that I "should" be up a lot for the month and that I put in more volume than I have in a long time. Just sucks that I'm running like dog crap.
Played 4 tables of nl25 6max for pretty much the whole month, lost solidly. Gonna be rebuilding for like the first 10 days of October to be really overrolled for my next shot, gonna have a coach by my side for this one. I feel like I learnt a lot this month,
Started exercising too as it will supposedly help my game, just running every other day at the minute, but hoping to start doing some body weight exercises on the other off days.
decent month at 6.5bb/100, i think i played well from about 8k hands onwards through to 20k, then things kind of fell apart, trying to make too many reads with not enough info and stuff
will be spending most of my time for october on cake poker improving my game without a hud, hopefully fix leaks and come back and crush 50nl on ftp for 10bb+/100
Suffice to say that I'm EXTREMELY upset! All was going well, then cooler after cooler.
I played 12 tables of 25NL FR for a while, then switched to 4 tabling 50NL. I think I was REALLY profitable at the 50NL level, if i hadn't been coolered or sucked out on, i would do fine... but 12 tables of 25NL seems much lower variance!

i thought guy was pretty solid because i saw him get it in pretty thin. on flop i like my raise because 5 dimaonds are already used up, and i expect sets to lead here.
i don't really mind turn at all, because i expected villain to squeeze JJ like 100% of the time so i feel like his range that i'm losing to is super narrow. i still feel like i have the effective nuts.
on river i am fucking befuddled. i don't think he has 33's here ever, it's either 97 (full house) or T8 diamonds (straight flush) i mean were deep, but i guess he might bet getting to excited with a K flush? but even though he's repping a super narrow range can i fold? do i stack K flush enough here?

this might be super nitty, but i would fold here to a check raise on flop. do you think checking flop will induce more bets or calls more so than getting a call on flop? (i think pretty trivial but am starting to like checking flop and calling/betting turn)
Came back totally calm after my morning spew. Really just doing what mayzerg suggested, chilling the fuck out. I still wasnt happy with my tables, lot of 60vp's on my left, but I just didnt let it get to me and laid it down when I didnt have it, and bet it when I did. Or least when I thought for sure their range is focused enough that they simply have to fold this board.
Only one hand of interest the entire session. Villain was 27/7/2, overall mostly passive. He suddenly started snap calling a lot of my opening raises.

I guess looking at how this played down he could only have a flush draw and played it passively??? If he were to shove over my river bet, could I consider to have induced a bluff and should call? Should I even bet the river hoping he has precisely 66/77 and never opted for a raise? Or should I have just checked because nothing worse calls?
