played another 2k hands today and am up 1.5 BI. Not too good compared to my other results, i was actually up 4.5 BI earlier, but dropped 3 Due to beats and bad call downs. Overall, my game is deteriorating, so I am taking a break. Got the 200 bonus from Pstars and now my BR is at 2.8k up from 400 3 days ago.
So far so good, I'm going to take a poker break for today and maybe tommorow and get back onto poker starting next week hopefully.
No graph since I'm not at my computer right now, but use ur imagination.

a) due to chip stacks it's about a pot shove. this is ok vs short stack no?
b) if he was regular chip stack wat do we 3 bet in order to make draws pay? bet > 22 no? i think flatting flop and then leading turn is kinda dumb =.= but obviously i want to keep in plenty of dominated hands. i think rr to ~ 22+ is correct no?

a) really hate my bet sizing. pot flop/turn and even bet rivER? or is river bet too thin? lots of straight and flush draws and i'm not too sure how often villains call with KT K9 K8 in a multiway pot (and if they have Ks for the tp+draw we're prolly all in on turn)
b) if i get c/r on flop this is easy fold? i can't really see ppl having sets in this spot but combo draws and KJ aren't pretty hands to see all in. getting it on good turn is + ev and getting it in on flop is ~0 ev?

a) standard? am i lucky to be ahead? my reasoning was i have 2 overcards/gutshot against most pairs. his c/r all in seemed like it was pretty draws/nuts. i guess how often does he do this with bluff and how often does villain do this with trip j's?
a REAL FUUUUUUUUUUUUU moment. villain is super passive, and saw him not v-bet top 2 pair in a previous pot. THAT being said i still have a SUPER hard time believing he doesn't raise TT pf. i dunno he could be that passive and scared of getting out played with medium pp. i guess 33/22 makes more sense but i'm still having a shit ton of trouble believing he has those hands. A2, T2, 32 something retarded seems believable i guess. him not vbetting top 2 pair previous hand really fucked with my mind.
didn't want to raise flop because i didn't want to get blown off a hand with such great equity. i pretty much wanted to hit on turn and get it in against retardedly played set. i think when i raise turn everyone's hand gets turned face up. sets get it in, most garbage probably folds, draws call(not really many draws on this board either). so i don't think betting bigger on turn really helps because i expect most hands to get it in/fold (how correct is this statemenT?)

Went pretty well, doesn't seem to be a giant difference from 1/2 yet, and most of the ppl i saw playing 2/4 i saw playing 1/2.
Quatrofour4 thinks i'm a fish, playing 3 handed vs him and some other guy he moved around so that he would have position on me instead of the other person. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/a4f0d.first400nlsession.jpg
Most People Aren't ...by TremendousGats, September 17
Most people aren't mentally strong enough to be professional poker players. When you run bad or get coolered 10 times in a row, dont look for pity or sympathy that will just feed your weak mental state. When you can turn your emotions off, you will reach the next level in your game.
After making 40 dollars and being well on my way to breaking even, I have hit the worst 24 hours of my short career.
Getting destroyed by 6s when I have aces, watching someone river a straight with pocket threes against my cowboys, seeing someone catch quad deuces against my full house.
It's just one of those things like you're both all in and he nails his pathetic hand on the river and you just kinda shake your head and say "you've got to be shitting me."
clearly doing something wrongby CrownRoyal, September 17
I'm going to cry here, if you want to bitch about me crying get out.
I haven't had a winning session in over 2 weeks. Even fish win sometimes, what the fuck? I put in the longest session, try my absolute hardest and can look at my opponents play and see leaks in nearly all of them. I am not playing too many tables, I'm not doing nothing wrong in my opinion and I can't even beat nl50. It's so incomprehendably demoralizing and upsetting to me that I cannot win. I dunno what is going on, I know what winning play is and I still believe somewhere down there in my heart that I am on that echelon of play but really this is just getting out of hand.

Today I managed to take my dog for a walk instead of running. It just came to my mind how rigged cities actually are. I'm so glad I live in a village. I went out to a forest near my place, it drizzled and the forest was all covered in fog. Amazing. I found out I ignore too many things in life.
As I hinted in my previous post I started playing some at Noble Poker last week. I am however disapointed at the software so I havnt payed too much attention on the players. Obviously that cant go very well Recently I have played pretty bad at Full Tilt too so I am down a fair bit this month.
On the positive side is that I am now in Prague to play Unibet Open. Except that pinball and I cant connect both our laptops at the same time (due to that you must have a 1 meter cable plugged in to get internet) it is a nice hotel with good food and good service. I will be playing day 1b tomorrow and my first goal will be to come through that alive! Will update and stuff how it goes..
