Running like God in 5 card drawby blackjacki2, June 14
So in the live poker game we play, I always run like God in 5 card draw. Every week we play I always get dealt at least a straight or a flush, and sometimes more than 1 per night. I actually stand pat 3-4 times per night in 5card draw, half the time with the nuts and half the time with air just to keep them suspicious. It's basically to the point where anytime I even consider playing a hand in 5card draw everyone says "Chris is going to do that stand pat shit again." This is a dealers choice game with 6 different games to choose from, so we play maybe 30 hands of 5card over the entire night. Tonight I ran amazingly well
Here are some of the hands I got tonight:
- 56789 dealt to me
- JJJTT dealt to me
- AA dealt to me, catching TTT for a boat on the draw
- AAA dealt to me
- 99 dealt to me, catching 9 on the draw
- 99 dealt to me, catching 9 on the draw
- 5566 dealt to me, catching 6 on the draw.
- JJ dealt to me, catching J on the draw.
- 4 to a flush dealt to me (3 times actually, only hit it once)
Basically we played it once per go around and over the course of the night I got 3 boats, a straight, a flush, 4 trips.
We also had another hand where one guy was dealt 34567 and another was dealt 6789T, probably pretty rare for a 5 handed game
So cut the Omaha trip short due to some douche bagism. So friday go to KC grind some pokers win a couple buyins great success. Decide to stay in KC and drive to Omaha the next morning get there and meet up with this buddy of my buddies and he gets us in the game through the clubhouse ship ship. Anyways by the time we get there which is right at game time everthing is uber packed so my buddy and I decide to sit along the stairwell where it expands at the top( and they should just have fucking bleachers there anway but don't). Anyway we're there for about 2 innings and watch countless security guards come by and say nothing anyways one of them decides we are a fire hazard and very rudely comes up and starts screaming at us, so I'm like whatever and get up to walk up the stairs when he decides I need some help and pushes me. I go "I'm going, you don't have to be a dick about it." Apparently dick was a cuss word to this fellow and he tells me I'm outa there so I start walking to the exit and he comes up behind me and grabs my arm so I jerk it away and keep walking the next time he grabs my arm and then digs his nails into my side and tells me we're going down these set of stairs so I start down and he digs in deeper trying to direct me when I know where the fuck I'm going so I throw him down the stairs and decide to bail on my own. So about the time I get to the gate he pushes me from behind and I knock some lady over but just keep rolling . He tells me I'm banned for the rest of the tourney. I stand in the street as he tells me about how bad he would kick my ass if I came back in there . I lol and bounce then procede to waste my day at the fucking horseshoe donating because I was life tilted.
Cliff notes:
Security guard is dick and hates his life cause he makes $10 an hour.
Banned from college world series for the year
Don't play when on life tilt
Getting back into the swing of things, grinding out some hands, not feeling so scared of it. It's not so much fear as just lack of motivation. I don't feel the same fire I did a month ago so when I sit down I feel like I'm forcing it and that I'm not giving my A game. Gotta get more mental control so I can turn on the A game no matter what.
Sticking to my "don't check the BR" technique. I know I'm either up or down 1-3 buyins. Something like that.
At least I don't suck at poker. It's hard to forget all the months of practice. The thing that has given me the most trouble is if too many tables come up. I can't keep up like I used to so I have to keep the table count down. It's easy to do these days as NL200 is really thin on good tables, and this is on Fri/Sat! wtf man, where'd all the fish go? T_T
I think it's really good that the WSOP is coming up and that I'm gonna go. It will help me refocus on poker this month. Then I can spend the rest of this year putting poker as a top priority and hopefully get myself into NL400/600 grinder status. That's the dream.
Vegas is gonna be great, can't wait. If you live out there and have a couch I can crash on then lemme know, I'm driving out and bringing a sleeping bag and that's about the extent of my plan right now.
tired of listening to all my stuff, looking for slightly non mainstream music. not because i have anything against mainstream music, it's just that i've probably have already been introduced to it
i was playing pretty good today, accidental misclick left me out 1.14(...remember, getting back into poker w/ 4.59 in ps br haha)...but got kind of frustrated when my AQ went up against 46o and the board was 33444... thought it was pretty obv split pot b/c i bet 10x bb pf cause 6 ppl tried to limp... oh well.
I'm also possibly looking for a coach. pm me and maybe we could work something out...I just can't seem to get out of these ruts of 2 and 5nl... If anyone has any advice on table selection, how to play the lowest limits, please advise me, it would be much appreciated.
Just busted out in 12th of the Daily 30k. But I am not annoyed at all. Just sad that I didn't make the FT. It was my monthly goal to make a FT for June, and I came pretty dam close. Had a pretty roller coaster tourney, and cant be ashamed with 12th really. Got it in with about 15bbs with AQo vs 77 and I missed.
Pretty happy to go really deep, and to know that I can actually play MTTs. My bankroll for tournaments is looking pretty sweet. Cash games not so sweet.. :/ I have mainly been playing $4 180man sit+gos.
I think I should continue grinding sit+gos to increase bankroll and work on cash game. I have been switching gears on cash tables very recently after watching some vids and had pretty much good success in last few days. I was playing like 15/13 nittyness, and I have found by revving it up to around 28/26, to be alot more profitable, really working on taking down lots of smaller pots rather than a few big pots. Because so many people get pissed off and stack you with complete junk. Its also a hella lot more fun
Anyway, I really am determined to make a final table. Not giving up!
so with my combined BR now at ~2.5k i can prob. play nl50. but nl25 so far is doing really well for me. i'm running well and also playing well. my redline is positive, my ev graph is even more positive, everything seems good so far so i'm going to keep playing until my BR is at like 3k or so.
i need to put in more volume as i'm only playing around 1k hands a day which is pathetic.
Well I have no hands recorded whatsoever cuz it was on pacific, it wasn't high stakes either, only 3/6.... I was playing vs a huge fish who ran very hot, coolered me and sucked out quite a bit, and I eventually bluffed my whole stack a few times in not-so-good spots, so well here I was sitting with 600$ versus 8600$ on 3/6....
Sooooo, I think to myself, ok I have to stay calm and win my money back, so I start focusing and tightening up quite a bit cuz I had been crazy, after a while I manage to get him down to 2000$, so I had won back 11 buy ins, at that point he's completely tilted.... he starts shoving about every hands pre flop, or let's say 80% of his hands.... I keep folding and eventually get dealt 99, he shoves.... I can't really fold since it's only 330bb :D! Turns out he has A7, flops an Ace and he's back up to 4000$... he stops shoving pre flop, plays a bit more, I win 120bb back, he goes on tilt mode again, shoving 3300$ pre flop every hand...
So now I'm like well I don't want to get into à 60/40 type hand so I'll forget about calling 550bb with AK/AQ cuz if I lose I'll be super mad... I eventually get dealt JJ, he shoves, I call... he flips over 65cc, flop 2 clubs.... turn club (I have Jc) river bricks and he rakes in the 6600$ pot, which is about 1100bb..... fuck my life I'm about to break my keyboard at that point... so I keep playing, stay focused, not tilting too much....
I get back up to like 4000$ versus his 5500$, then I get dealt KK, he 3bets about every hand (I'm min raising to 12 he clicks pot to 36) I 4bet, he calls, flop comes J26ss (I have Ks), he fuckin open shoves flop to 4000$ into 200$, I'm like WHAT THE FUCK and I call, he has 24o, turn comes 4s, I start cursing out fucking loud, river is a 4th spade and I win, WEEEEEEEEEEE he's back down to 1500$...
He obviously starts shoving every single hand again, I get JJ after a few hands, I call, he has A8, flop comes 267, turn T.... and river is obviously.. an Ace FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU he's now at ~3000$.
I win like 100bb back by playing some post flop poker (lol), and he starts shoving pre flop every hand again, I fold a shitload of hands, 33 included cuz I didn't wanna flip, I got really tired after folding like 100 hands in a row, I get dealt AQ, he shoves, I call, he has 33.... I say FUCK THIS GAME, I don't hit shit, and he's back at like 4800$...
so now... I'm like this is so fucking unfair and so on, telling myself this shit is rigged and bla bla, we keep playing, I lose an extra 2000$ and win it back and get him down to like 3800$, he starts shoving every hands pre flop yet again, fuck my life, let's hope I get dealt AA, so here comes AA, he folds pre flop (hacker obv)....
then he shoves again, I have TT, I call, he has 45o, flop comes 842 and I'm like HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD, it actually did hold! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD! (I forgot to mention he talked a lot of shit when he was up 10-12 buy ins, saying I was so easy and I was no challenge) so when he's at 0 I go HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SHIP IT MOTHERFUCKER LOLOLOL, he rebuys to 600$, shoves every single hand pre flop (100% :D) I call with AQ, he has K5cc, he wins, he's at 1400$, he keeps shoving, I call with AKcc and I actually won vs his J9o, he then reloads to 302$ and I'm like bahahahahah, I get dealt QQ, he shoves, I call and I can't remember what he had there but I won..... and he leaves
mehehe, so for those wondering how I manage to win this much money I'd guess It's due to me being able to keep my composure when I lose a shitload of buy ins, like I tilt for a few mins then I tell myself "ok let's focus now" and I start playing very well again o_o
Im basically back to zero, feels like i wasted 1 fucking month of pokering.
Something very bad happened in real life, so I had to cash out about 1K(which was about 40% of my roll) few days ago, of course this implied that I had to move down to that shithole of NL25 again, but instead, with a bit more than half of my roll left, I decided to continue playing NL50 but was tilted all the time when I thought about my crippled BR and looked at my cashier.
As a result of that, I quickly blew all of my profits for the month, and didnt play for a few days. Today I sat home and was bored so I played again with a tilted mind and blew another 150 or so on NL25. I dont even have 1K anymore. I had so great goals for this month and the upcoming ones and now Im back to zero. I played really well as well and had myself under control but I just made a huge step backward ONCE AGAIN.
Feels so fucking bad... Im so fucking stupid to play in a tilted mood, really hate myself for doing that. Deep inside I know that i should REALLY grind now to get back my br and to not lose anymore time but I got NO fucking motivation left at all and it feels so tilting to HAVE to move back down to this stupid motherfucking fish limit NL25. Everything there tilts me fuckkkkkk i hate this fucking game my timing is the fucking worst ever I always have to cash out just when Im about to move up so I can make enough to cover life expenses PLUS HAVE a constantly growing br. FUCKING SHIT FUCK MOTHERFUCKING aoiwehfauwefiauwefliawefuaiwefluaiwefiuawef
Heres monthly graph. Rationally thinking, this shouldnt even look bad because I can easily turn this into a good winning month, but just looking at my cashier makes me go apetilt because I had like 1500$ more in there a few days ago and it feels like that money just vanished. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9421/hahahahahahaha.png
I just hope I can regain a good state of mind again soon....
Just wondering, everyone is talking about getting money to vegas and this and that, Ive called the rio trying to get a wiretransfer done but no dice there, they gave me some bullshit answer about me having to have a players card at the rio for a year blablabla.
Bottom line is, im in need of like 20k in vegas tops, cashing out from an atm I have a 3k limit per week, but cant you just buy chips at the rio/bellagio with my debit card and all will be well? I mean the biggest purchase would be like 10k for the ME and that isnt a terribly huge amount of money. Anyone know?
Oh and anyone who is in vegas feel free to pm your phone number so I can get in contact with someone when I arrive on monday.
So first graph is the graph of the month for the site i usually play,20nl, got so fed up with coolers/beats i withdrew br in search of some better luck on an other site, and boy did that work out AWESOME. Here's the 2graphs , i LOVE poker :'(
Rape everyone's soul in session 1 ->
session 2: pay off tags light stacking off with gutshot + 2 overs type hands vs 2p/set x3 ->
3bi hole (in sess)->

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
GOTTA STOP PAYING OFF NITS/TAGS WHEN THEY RAISE ME ON THE FLOP GOD FUCKING DAMN LOLOLOLOL FUCKLSJ:DFOISDJFL:KWEJFS)(DJFSLDKF JSDF
Thanks to lachlan and Panorama for FTP tranfers~
and thansk to Zalfor and Raidan for offering to do the same <3
whoa I'm a sick retard and I love every minute of it
so 2nite we went to tryst with peachy, rekrul, myth, pooruser, citizenwind, myself, frinkx, and some other peeps who obviously aren't nearly as kewl
ok so ya it was awesome, I met dan/rekrul for the first time and he is, as advertised, a cool guy. peachy was REALLY serious about immediately drinking himself into oblivion (he was constantly pouring shots of patron and offering shots to other people, always taking a shot when someone else would). I honestly don't know what happened to him because last I saw he was passed out for about 30 minutes and then disappeared after I went for a walk around the club.
Pooruser's friend chris is in town, he is pretty cool. I happened to return to the house at the same time his cab pulled up. Poorusers's friend is standing there in some super drunk daze while his cab says to me, "Take care of this guy ok?" I try to say "what's up chris? u alright?" but he just disappears and whatever.. I hope he's alive and what not.
I met some chicks from fucking england of all places, and obv they all have boyfriends. Whatever. I got the cute black english girl's number and she might come out to rehab with pooruser and his friend and I on sunday. Rehab is some super-special pool party or something. Might be fun..
I dropped by Del Taco (basically identical to Taco Bell) on the way home and it was.. basically.. fucking awesome. I ate 5 tacos and my mouth still burns 30 minutes later. So life is awesome.
Ok I probably forgot some important shit but whatever PEACE@!!!!
so it looks like im probably getting fucked out of at least 2.5k due to the recent gov't actions. following that i had the worst run i've had in quite a while and lost another 3.4k at 200nl (/whine).
so, i did a little bit of searching (probably not enough) and since i need some money in my bank acct pretty quickly i decided to order a direct wire transfer for $4k. i just ordered it today, but im already starting to get paranoid...i guess what i'm saying is, i don't know how this stuff works. are wire transfers still completely safe for US players? if someone could confirm this and put my mind at ease (or tell me it's not so i can freak out and start spamming stars with emails telling them to cancel), i would appreciate it.
