never been this steaming and frustrated. $2500 6mby I_run_godlike, June 08
So I just got knocked out of the 6max tournament in lvl 2. I have no regrets on all my plays, to be honest, I think I played all my hands in an optimal manner.
Table was really crazy, guy 2 to my right is opening at least 65% if not 80% of the hands preflop. Devil Fish is directly to my left who's playing like a spewtard as well. Seat 3 is terribad but not as spewy-tardish as seat 5 and seat 2 (devil fish). Seat 4 is a guy who lost his left palm and plays pretty aggro and somewhat spewy as well.
I have no clue why these players 3bet every hand like they are supposed to in a 6max tournament. As a nl400/600 6m cash grinder, I have seen my fair share of 3bet pots in the last 500k hands, but I swear to god that I've never seen so many 3bet pots in a 2 hr frame. These people have no clue what they are doing, they treat every utg/utg1/co/btn open as steal therefore they HAVE TO 3bet to protect their blind!
I hate to complain about how bad I run, I used to complain a lot but now I have improved as a professional player and my mentality to the game and the variance so I have cut down my whining a lot. However, since there are many people have piece of me, I think they have right to know what had happened in every tournament I was in.
Here we go.
Hand that I lost huge chunk of my stack:
50/100, eff. stack 5200.
btn (kid who opens 65% of his hands and have shown tendency of not liking to fold to 3bet and likes to float) opens to 225, folded to me in bb and I looked down AQo, I decided to 3bet to 700 for value. Btn called.
Flop (1450) Qh 9d 9s
I cbet 800 and btn floats
Turn (3050) 4s
I decided to let him blow him off his float and make my hand look like AK or JJ/TT so I checked.
He, on the other hand, didn't disappoint me by betting 1100 into 3050 pot, I c/c'd.
River (5250) 4d
I checked, spewtard tanked for a sec before shipping in the rest of his 2600ish chips and I snapped.
He turned over for J9o for the flopped trips and I was down to 1800 with my AQ on Q99 board in a 3bet pot. I have absolutely no regret with my line as I think this is definitely the most optimal line at the moment against a guy who doesn't like to fold.
Few hands later (after that kid busted Devil Fish with AA on T high board), he opened utg to 225 again, I looked down A9cc and decided to ship it in against his range. I got snapped by his KK and flopped KQc8c, I got there on the turn w/ 5c and doubled up my short stack to 3750. He was saying something like..omg....and I have no clue why he's complaining given the fact that he runs hotter than the sun already.
few hands later (3800 eff stack), utg (guy who lost his left palm) opened to 300, folded to me in sb w/ KJdd, i decided to flat and bb called.
Flop (900) Kc Tc Jc
I checked, bb checked, utg bets 1k and I crai and he made a crying call and flipped KTss, sweet, finally i can get back on track w/ another double up.
Not so much as turn brought 8c and river 9c for the flush on the board and we chopped the pot where I got my money in WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY good. like what? 92% equity?!
At that point, I already knew that this tournament is not gonna be a very easy/happy ride for me.
Just few hands later, I picked up KQo otb and everyone folded back to me. I made a min raise to 225 and bb (who obv has no clue what he's doing but 3bets because everyone's doing it) made a fairly large 3bet to 800. I had a read on him and know for fact that his bet size indicated a very weak hand that he didn't want a call. I made a committing 4bet to 1650 (left myself about 2200) and he jammed and I snapped.
BB turned over 47o and I was very happy w/ my read and call. Little did I know that the board ran out J76JA and my KQo couldn't hold up. End of the day, left the table with steam on my head, trying to figure out how the F those terribad idiots who have no clue how the game works and what they're doing can run so good.
Ive been doing pretty well in the cash game this past weekend and will come back and update more later tonight or tomorrow after I get back to LA.
A little teaser: I got my money in with AKo at Bellagio's 5/10 preflop against AA and got a runner runner flush for 70bb deep pot :-)
What's the highest percent favorite a "drawing" hand can be at any point in the hand.
I don't know what the answer is, I'm just curious and wanna see what people can come up with. Maybe some kind of wrap + flush draw on the flop, or maybe a double open-end straight flush draw + 4 overs on the turn. Opponent probably having something like 2233.
Graph for thurs-saturday 5-6 tabling. Didnt get to play today im so butthurt had to go to church as soon as i woke up at 11am then work 2-9pm shift http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/3554/funweekend100nl.png
Then i played on ultimatebet tryn to hit bb jp at 50nl for 1k hands before going to sleep + Show Spoiler +
June starts with an upswing by MasterofLaw, June 08
Life and live-pokerwise. My live poker have been pretty solid and I have made a pretty nice profit on the last 3sessions, like 500bb or something. I make pretty good reads and feel a lot of confidence in my game. Have not played that much online in june except for yesterday where I lost 5bi:s. Got a bit tilted after making some profit by some good games and then lost 250bb x 2 on two hands. J9 vs JJ on J9869 and 55 vs 77 on 57262.
Otherwise there have been a lot of partying. Thursday-Saturday. Have had two friends staying at my place, Remember87 and Jocke. Jockes little brother have also hanged out with us this weekend. The partying contained all necessary parts for being great such, poker, a lot of alcohol, football, nice girls and nice clubs.
This week I hope I don't will drown in work but instead can get the opportunity to grind a lot togheter with R87 at my place.
God if i could just win this pot...... one single pot one fucking coin flip...

Meh fairly annoying/swingy week but ended up so its okay.
Think i played pretty well made a couple of somewhat loose calls/marginal-perhaps-spewy shoves/calls but overall nothing devastating
imo.
I played 12.5k hands which for me is a good amount for a week (i played 15k hands last MONTH). If i can continue this pace i can aim for a 50k hand month which would be really nice! 12k vpp away from supernova and i made like 2.6k this week, sooooo maybe end of month if i move up to nl100. Roll is currently like 2.3k, not sure when i take a shot mayb 2.5k i think.
Played some tournaments too, starting to get frustrating though i am getting deep a lot but busting just into/outside the bubble with ridiculous setups, but its all been stupid shit where i cant really do anything (AK vs 22 aipf and miss obv etc)
Starting our journey to Vegas today xDby Mariuslol, June 07
I know I'm a bit of a fish and all, but that doesn't matter!!
Me and my mate starting our travel to Vegas today, we live far up north in Norway, like, uhm, Tromsø. So we have a 9 hour drive today to get to Mo I rana, then tomorrow I'll take train from Mo I rana to Trondheim (6-7 hours) then plane from there to Oslo). And there the final plane which will go straight to Vegas I think, or close, no Idea how long that will take, but someone told me it takes 17 hours in total, sounds a bit much, hope it's not true lol.
Will be pretty scary, don't think I know anyone there. Tried to get Eriador with us too, but he said he had 2000g of weed with his name on it, and he had to finish it all before summer.
If any lp'er or anything wanna say hi that's awesome, we might be a little shy at start but siick mannerd!!
Thiz is me! (tried to upload one time before, but I'm stupid and did it in a comment on my own blog and it didn't show lol)
Tried finding a pic of Dokosoko (Instinct) as well, but didn't find a very good one lol. But it'll have to do (And if anyone's wondering why I have a girl nickname in the pic, it's not
cos I'm gay or anything!! But for 4+ years when I no lifed WoW I played a female character =p xD)
It feels so great right now! A couple of days ago I did my final lawexame so now I have a welldeserved summerholiday! Since then it has been almost a constant party! It started of thursday night with Dusty, masteroflaw, rednalluk and a lot of other friends at the exameparty in uppsala which was as always a blast! On Friday I moved to Stockholm (I´m staying here for a week) and it started of directly with a party for the lawstudents in Stockholm. Since then it has been a lot of livepoker, football, another party and other stuff.
I started my onlinepokerweek today. If I cant get into the zone this week there wont be a Vegas trip this summer. I felt a bit rusty and I paid of in some spots I shouldnt have, got coolered a few times and overall didnt feel that well about my play. However I only lost 1,5BI after I was down about 5 at the peak. Tomorrow is a new day however and I hope I can play better and book a nice winning day.
I will update this blog daily now as a countdown for an eventual Vegastrip. If I win 10BI this coming week I will go, if I almost reach it I will go too if I feel I play good and if I dont win at all.. then I guess I will have to enjoy the swedish summer as much as I can!
looking for 100-400 on starsby jasper5408, June 07
so basically can't put money into stars, echecks/visa fails for me
can pay in paypall though, hoping to do it in 25/50/100 increments to avoid scam. or if you trust me that's fine too, if you're reputable here than that's ok too.
