Anyone of you still in vegas?
bumping my last post
and if anyone has a house where i can stay/know some cheap hotels please leave a comment!
Getting a little better at "not paying off", which is by far the biggest leak I have in my game by self-diagnosis. Second leak is probably randomly bluffing off stacks, and I think my valuebetting is... at least "ok". Just want to go back to FPS-Less poker haha - NL100 doesn't need any fancy shit obv.
Meh, w/e I dont really think moving down to nl50 again will bother me too much if it comes to that.
waiting for action at the HU so i'll put up some music i discovered.
this guys were playing at a music festival around here. awesome. if they play near wherever your at and you are somewhat into this song. def go. cause live they were even more entertaining. not in the least because of the entertaining base player and the cute girl at the drums.
Okay well time to give the official update on here that I did fail my main prop bet I had last month which was to make 10k at NL100. Luckily I had many other prop bets against people on either volume or most BIs won, me vs them. So after everything I was only down $800 in total prop bets. On Friday after I finally gave it up at nl100 I decided to play some 10/20 and 25/50, 4 tables for a little bit. Only really played 2-3 hands that went past the flop and got 4bet a few times at 10/20 but ended up a small winner before people finally convinced me to stop playing. I was happy taking a 10k shot and seeing what happened though.
Here I 2x pot on the river to get him off his full house

Those are the only hands more interesting then 0 percent that I played besides a few other light 3bets. I'm sure I will play some more super high stakes soon since I dont really mind losing the money but in the future I will probably just grind some 1/2 or whatever I decide to play.
My totals for the month ended up being
120kvpp/$12.5k fpp/milestones
+7.2k playing
-800 prop bet
+300 staking
Total $19,200
I am obviously very happy about this but still sucks that I failed my prop bet and didn't win an additional 10k (from the money I would have won playing/other prop bets I had). I am not really that upset because I know I will have other prop bets in the future that I will hopefully succeed at but in the meantime am going to get back to having a life and not playing poker 12 hours a day. Back to the gym/going out/meeting randoms/sleeping all the time. Also going to travel some this month so that should be exciting as well. Thanks to all that have read my blog and followed my challenge throughout the month. For the most part there have been many positive and nice comments made by some.
Yes I know I need to play less tables, stop tilting, learn to actually play poker, etc.. Will I actually end up doing any of that, probably not but that is to be seen.

Sooo its 6 AM and i havent stoped playig for like 20 hours. Did a ton of MTTs and got ludicrous beats (like the last 15 hands I submmited if any one wants to comment), but in the end it worked out. =D
Finally manage to win something i was very happy the way i played ,i had 1.4mil when we where 18 second and third didnt have as much as me.so happy me
as the title says i want to sell some of my action for today tournements here is what i want to play
I worked, but not a good dayby AgentIce, August 02
So I got up at about 1 pm, I actually woke up at 10:40 orginally but decided to sleep some more. I payed the rent, payed the bills, made breakfast then started playing.
Did a couple hours, made some moves I regretted though. One hand a guy had 20% 3 bet, was playing very aggro. I raised button with AT, he rred me from bb, I decided to call figuring my A or T would be good a lot if I hit and if I miss I will raise a lot of flops. Flop ended up coming 243 with 2 spades. He bet, I reraised figuring to have some good outs if he had an overpair, he pushed and I called. He had 49s and I got owned.
Another one I had A9 in the CO and got a caller on the button and in the bb. Flop is 986 2 diamond board, I bet the flop, button calls, and bad 43 vpip aggro guy makes it 16$. I just push, no idea why, just trying to be more aggro and felt the 43 vpip guy could do it with lots of stuff, and the button prob wasn't that strong. Of course 43 vpip guy had the nuts.
Also did some amazingly retarded calldown with QQ. Guy was 29/23 and very aggro with like 14% 3 bet. He also was only folding to 3 bet about 40%. I had 3 bet him about 4 times in a row and beat him twice in all-in pots, and he hadn't folded to a 3 bet once. So I 3 bet him again with qq, flop comes k42 rainbow, he checks and i check behind because I felt it likely he tried something funny. Turn is another K, and I'm honestly figuring he is going to bluff at it a high % because of the dynamic. He bets 11 and I call, river is an A and he insta pushed 50 into 30. For some reason I really thought he read me for QQ or JJ and was trying to bluff me off, so I call and he has AA. I was so pissed at myself, I haven't played that bad in a long time, so I stopped for the day.
Enough of that crap, I'm just playing standard from here on out, and focusing on playing lots of hours. It's not the time to be working on my game.
My like goal for August was to have a nice, solid winning month playing a lot of hands and just grind my way into good results. Now, 30 hours into the new month, I feel that I might have to up my targets a bit. Fwiw I don't think this winrate is sustainable, after all, it's only Saturday once a week.
So today was the day I moved out of my house and into my college dorm. I was so excited I couldn't sleep because I would finally be on my own and get to live with some random dude which I was really excited about because it would give me a chance to make a new friend and all that shit. But I met up with him today and he said he was going to be living at his parents house for the whole year because he couldn't afford school but he had already signed his lease so he is kinda fucked. So I have this 2 bedroom dorm to myself. Which really sucks because when I was at home I wasn't really hanging with friends or doing much so it kinda depresses me that I'm alone again.
Also I don't know anyone in downtown denver or at this school so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. However, July was a good month and was +1k on the month. I would show my graph but I dun use pt or nething. So now I can finally move up to .5/1. Btw if anyone wants to play Halo MLG or Slayer leave me ur ID.
Well I'ma play some poker good luck guys. Peace Chris.
My gf entered another makeup contest, she made her face look like a pheonix. Check it out, the end result actually looks cool, you can watch this in HD.
[ ] 40k Hands WHIFF
[x] +$750 net
[x] Plug up loads of leaks
[/] Stop being a monkey
2.5/4, not bad, but nothing to write home about (LP on the other hand...)
July I wanted to aim for some huge volume, but being so new to poker I don't really think I handle running poorly as well as some so I just quit for 5 hours when I have a bad session and I stop for a day or two if I have 4-5 in a row. This really hurt my volume, but I think it helped my bankroll. I only got in a pathetic 17k hands this month, less than half of what I was shooting for. Only time will tell if this was standard variance or if I actually ran as poorly as I perceived. Before this turns into a whine blog, which it shouldn't be..
I ended up .84BB/100 for the month. I did well in rakeback and bonuses though, and I earned 1.5BI in the ironman tournament, so I did okay for my bankroll which grew over $500 this month. I had a coach this month, we've probably spent 12 hours together this month, I feel it has really improved my game. I've felt I was a decent hand reader since I started learning (who doesn't though, LOL), but now I know what to do with that information.
I've got a lot on my plate this month, that's usually when I do best though, so I'm looking to get everything in order so I can crush life.
I know not many people will read this, and even less will care, but I hope everyone who does will run great!
August goals:
[ ] 4BB/100
[ ] 30k hands
[ ] Clear deposit bonus
[ ] Plug more leaks
[ ] Have 5 3+ hour 3+ BI sessions
[ ] Run for 30 minutes every day I'm in town
