got back to poker just last week after a month off... during that month mainly been hanging out with friends and clubbing. also i went to malta with 20buckspin and skier_5 for a week or so.. lots of fun .. then i headed to france for a bit. and went to reading festival and camped there for a few days.

cant be bothered to put pics up.. maybe if i get paid for this blog i will

im still waiting for my 3k dollar painting to be completed! will show you pics once its done.. it will have a sort of las vegas theme to it

university starting in 3 weeks time.... if you dont know me well i dropped out of med school in my 1st yr to play poker and have been doing that since.... but now i will be studying financial risk management and investment.. 10 min walk to my university from my apartment so i hope for some crazy flat parties back at mine in the near future (if the fucking landlord has not kicked me out by then ((because i nearly got kicked out and he gave me 1 week to leave)))

er i was supposed to go to amsterdam (to see harrydebeng) and appt macau and ept barca but kinda was exhasuted after france.. done a lot of travelling in the last 12 months.. (have not even been at my apartment half the time) just feel like settling down for now nd focusing on grinding until most of my time will be taken up. i need to find a flatmate too if i want to stay here for another year. think i will try to win a seat to wsop europe and play ept london too.

not bad for 7 hours of work.. nl600 pretty much i love 20bi days

I almost went into insta-tilt when the villain who took 8 buyins off me yesterday looked me up and joined my table this evening. He is fucking looking for me. #)$&%@)&fucksake he is the fish here! I should be looking for him!! And so greedy.. is 8 buyins not enough??! you need to find me. Am i a fucking ATM?? wel guess again because he started stomping on me almost right away. Some hands i should say WP because he bluffs me off a big pot in some other spots he gets lucky, thats my overall feeling though that he is doing some things right and running hot but doing a lot of things wrong. Judge for yourself..

here i have 1010 and i 3bet, he calls and i flop an A, so that sucks. definetely since he like calling my 3bets with a variety of Ax yesterday i saw one as low as A4. he also likes floating in 3bet pots
on the other hand he folds a lot on A hi boards in 3bet pots so maybe
the river is just a fold?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738239

he was 3betting me a lot, and i didn't do this often since he is in the
habit of calling my 4bets quite often(not always but a lot) but today
he was really firing up the 3bet%, much higher then yesterday so i figured my bluff had more chance of success. i get some of my own
medicine. i really don't like his bluff though. first he has to invest
such a lot with a bad easily dominated hand to see a flop and then he
has to raise almost his stack to move me off a K hi flop. he probably did it because he thinks im not 4betting KQ (which im not ) to me this feels like he will lose a lot of money on this move longterm?
i mean im not 4betting him all the time. like this when it's a little deeper it's mostly with 1010+ and AK, AQ and then some Ax or Kx bluffs now and then.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738237

here is another annoying hand that shows you how annoying this guy can be. he was calling me a lot in 3bet pots and floating so i thought this
move on the turn was +EV and would definetely hellp me in future 3bet
pots. it might have helped but this time it backfired...
it did give me better insight in how he plays draws in 3bet pots though. confirmed he calls down.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738236

a few hands later.. wtf im i supposed to do? you know something about his tendencies by now. do you barrel here? not c-bet? HELP!!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738235

then i got my break when his tendency to call down with draws backfires on him, when he makes his straight but i make the nuts.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738245

ofcourse there was some action in between but then i finished him off for today with this one. at last all those failed bluffs are good for something.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738246

Here he quits me, gave me back 2 or 2.5 buyins i think. i can only hope he will give me another chance tomorrow or something. I feel that know i have looked so detailed into this match and have some better reads i have a solid edge.

p.s
thnx a lot for the comments on the hands. i can't believe nobody likes yeserday's 5c6c bluff though :S

So school is back, which is a total bitch. But I just might be able to scrap some time to grind and still get good grades.

Goals: 1K hands/day
100 buy in rule for MTTs
no omaha at all

As far as how the stake went, we settled on MTTs. Played a shit ton and managed to ran like a dirty hoe which had peed on a cross, but still binked 2 scores. yay!

sooooooooo bought a nice samsung tv, ln46b610, and as soon as i turn it on, helloooooo

i am assuming this is a moderate-to-serious problem that i should probably get it replaced. ohhhhhhhh, what a pain in the ass.

(it went away after leaving it off for a bit and coming back, but i really am bothered by it nonetheless. anyone can confirm that this is a standard non-issue? doubtful )

So I went to my first rally in Lebec, California this weekend and I finished, which I'm pretty happy about. I tried to take some on-board video but it didn't work out. Anyways I finished 2nd in my class and 3rd out of all the 2wd cars, 9th out of 16 overall. I'm pretty happy with it considering it was my first time ever driving anything on dirt lol.

Blegh, August was lame. Quick recap.

Started off the month strong grinding hard and doing well. I had just finished coaching so my confidence was at an all time high and i was having np exploiting the regs who play bad post flop, and the regs who play bad preflop. Then i hit a few huge downswing days, one -5bi, one 6-7BI and one -9~ BI or so. It was just tired/moody + run bad + play bad.

Then i grinded through that (albeit grudgingly) and then hit another snag for a small 5k hand sample where i didnt quite hold in all in pots that well and ran about 7 BI below ev. Again, this was just standard variance and i grinded through that as well.

I played nowhere near the amount of volume i should have this summer, i had made a plan to myself to basically be semi-proish for 4 months but i just never committed the time to play more than 2-4 hrs a day. It was also compounded by the fact i'd rather go out and hang with friends, or i'd just be like eh whatever and not play poker if i didn't feel like it.

My school schedule is pretty chill for september, but i'm aiming for straight A's this year so poker time will have to be reschedule. I can definetly fit in poker + school + life, as long as i balance..this is what i've learned over the past 4 months. You must must must MUST make sure you, yourself are in good mental and physical shape. Once you are, everything else just falls into place because you're not sleeping in, feeling groggy, then having to jam in a poker session when you feel like shit.

Anyway..

August:

Profits: +1700 @ nl100 over 60k hands
+256 T$ after owning some FTP pro in a sng thing. Her name was S.gremnakova or whatever and she was a big fan of overbet shoving preflop everytime she had AJ+. Eventually i minraised her button @ 100/200 (i think), and after folding 5 times in a row she finally defended. flop 452 rainbow, she checks, i bet 1/2 pot, she shoves, i snap with AA she has Q8o? lolol
+450 @ nl200 over 1k hands

Rakeback: +940

Total: +3346 for the month.

Really disappointed because i could have made far more =[ , honestly there was no reason for me to not have a minimum +30 BI month, what with coaching and all...i was my own worst enemy really, and didnt put in the hands because i slept in so much + ran bad and didnt want to play. I need to focus less on results and just focus on getting better - the money will come naturally.

OH WELL, you live and you learn.

Whiffed my August goals, but going to try again in sept.

Sept Goals:

40k hands @ nl100, 20k hands @ nl200 whatever i make, i make
Exercise 3x a week
Help coach microstakes players to improve myself (which, if anyone is interested in i'd be glad to sweat you a session or 2)
get off to a really strong start in school. aiming for A's

FIGURE OUT WHY PTR is so broken and says i havent made any money at nl100? :o loloool

i am tearing it up here in NW oklahoma. I'm throwing really hard, probably the hardest i've thrown since 2006, my arm feels great, the coaches are impressed, i have a new-found desire to work my tail off even more than i have been, and i want to reach my goal of getting one of the three week-end starters on the pitching staff. (conference games, which are the only things that mean something are played on the weekends). I would happily accept a closer roll as well, (to me a closer has the same importance as a starter, however their importance in jam-packed into 1 inning). So everything is going great. Classes are easy, and i was prepared for a hella hard time b/c my classes are like this... Physics, Anatomy, Statistics, Psychology.
I'm also tearing it up in plo, which is good. No graphs b/c i play on cake

i played a long match against this guy and i got absolutely killed. maybe i lost something like 8 buyins. usually i quit people 3 down but a friend was sweating me and i didnt feel like i played
bad or was tilting at all and i thought he was pretty bad. he played about 60% of hands IP and OOP and was pretty passive, only at the river his agression picked up but i honestly think this was
due to the fact he was just hitting everything so fucking hard. if he ever made moves they were pretty rare i think. and the times i suspected him off this i couldnt do anything about it. i just went
over the biggest hands to see what went wrong. in some spots i look a little iffy. plz let me know
if you have any comments!

other then this match i've been doing fairly good. -8bi to one guy hurts though. surely it;s not good
for my bb/100.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738071

i have been 4betting him with some frequency and i think there is absolutely nothing i can do here then bet for value. so seems fine.


http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738073
we were both 3betting between 15-20% depending on the point of the match. he opens about 68%. he called about 50% of 3bets. usually he just called when he hit in 3bet pots. and he also floated a bit as he folded to some 2nd barrels. or maybe then he just made a weak connection.
this was his 1st raise in 3bet pots i think and i put him on quite some air, draws. but thats
not what he ended up having unfortunately.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738075
a bluff gone wrong. this was relatively early in the match. at this point he 3betted 15% and from the possible range. the minraise i saw him use before on a drawy board and the board in general i was really confident i could get him off is pair + gutshot, draw and optimistically i even expected him to consider folding something like QJ though i knew that hand was going to call me down
usually. but i thought there were enough hands i could get to fold. i overbet the river because i expected him to fold an Arag, maybe QJ and any second pair+gutshot to this bigger size and
thought he would maybe make some odd calls when i just tried to fold out draws. also i think it's
more consistent with me trying to sell a 2pair or straight here. but maybe i would have raised the
flop with those? do you like this bluff?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738076
4betted him the hand right before this one. i was down a TON to him and i thought it was +EV to
get this in.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738077
i thought his check on the flop meant showdown value but no TP. guess he trapped me really nicely.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738078
maybe this is a bad call? he shoved the flop, i put a lot of draws in his range. i have the nutFD and
against 78 type of hands i have a K highcard. i didnt know Arag was in his 3bet call range. really cant believe this didnt help me at any point but instead cost me a buyin. because i think calling my
3bets with Arag is really -EV.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/738087
he was giving quite some resistance in 3bet pots and i suspected i should give him some more heat because he called my 3bets a little too wide imo. since i made it consist of mostly a value
range with maybe 20% bluffs. so i was setting this up to shove the river but the river was so
bad i gave up.

So anyhow august wasnt that good. But i think i have discovered the biggest leaks in my game. So From now on i can avoid that. The leaks are me just playing very dumb as can be seen in my previous blogs "Why i dont win money in poker". From there you can see that im a huuuge spewmonster. Not sure if it comes from tilting etc. But anyhow heres the pics.

Last day fucked me up hard. I was up 800 bucks but in like few few hands i was coolered and set up and maybe tilted a little to loose 400 bucks very very quick. SO that sucked.

Anyhow im gonna try to do well this month and take some shots at NL200 if I get a chance.

Cheers every1 and gl at the tables
