5/28-6/1 Bellagio/Rio 5/10 NL cash game recapsby I_run_godlike, June 03
The cash game has been quite swingy for me as well. Lost 800 the first day at Rio's 2/5 6max, up about 2900 from 5/10 and then proceed to lose 2200 the night before I came back to LA.
I don't know if I remember all of the big pot or interesting hands but I'll try my best.
5/29 Rio's 2/5 6max.
Players were just incredibly horrible, just as any other live FR players who are loose/passive/weak. They use their "FR standard" to play the 6 max. An old guy sat directly to my left is a total non-believer, literally playing 90/5 style. After my 85o cracked his A4dd on 8s 5d 6h Jd Xs board where he flat my flop cbet and shoved on the turn, he went on tilt against me. So this hand happened just few orbits after the hand. I opened utg to 20 w/ JJ, he flat, btn flat and bb flat. 85 to the flop. Flop came T84r, I cbet 60 and he flats, turn a 6, I led 160 into 200 and he shoved for 200 more, I obv instant called. River T and he flipped KTo. wp sir.
5/30 Rio's 5/10 FR.
Right after I busted out from the 1k donkament and was waiting for my friend, decided to play some live cash to kill time. A new game just started so I picked my seat. on the 3rd hand, I got dealt AA in utg2. UTG1 opened to 30 (w/ 1k eff. stack), I 3bet to 105 and folded to sb (who's a donk/station with 1200 eff stack) cold called. pfr also flat. $325 to the flop. Flop came 66d9d and I have two red Aces. Sb led out 200 and pfr instant jammed for 1k, I snapped and sb folded. turn and river bricked off and pfr turned over 78dd and my AA incredibly dodged trillion outs and held up. pfr started to berate and said something like..you called that?!?! I was like..yea, ez call sir, snap and fist pump. He's like..do you call if I crai? I replied, even faster sir, I never fold there. He then went on tilt and I left the very next hand cuz my friend was here for lunch (First time ever that I hit and ran somebody)
5/31 Bellagio 5/10 FR
down 2k right off the bat (don't really want to talk about the hand that I stacked off 1500 with but I think it was okay) Anyway..I kept grinding and grinding and finally after 7 hours of sitting on the same table, I was up 100. One interesting hand was that a new guy who just sat down couple orbits ago opened to 40 and co and btn both called. (btn had eff. stack of 4k and I covered him) I flat in bb w/ J5cc. flop 67c9c...I decided to play this pot cautiously. It was checked to btn who bet 100 into 160 and i tanked and flat. pfr then announced raise to 350 (leaving him 650 left) and btn folded, ez decision for me then, I then announced all in and pfr called. turn 5 river J...I turned over my two pair and pfr said it's good and I shipped a decent size pot which brought my winning to about 1700 for the night.
2nd interesting hand I played was that utg opened to 45, 2 callers and btn (4k eff stack) called and I flat T8ss in bb. flop AsKs7 and was checked to btn who instant bet 200 into 225. I tanked for 30 secs before calling (didn't want to make it too obv that I was drawing), everyone folded. Turn 6c which gave me 3 extra outs. I checked and btn instant bet 300 into 625 (weird size...but he's a live donk so he probably doesn't know how bet sizing works). I tanked and called, river brought an offsuit T (damn, for 1 sec, I thought I got the miracle offsuit 9!) I checked again and btn instant bet 500, I tanked and folded. Spent 500 on a draw hoping I can ship his 4k over..sigh...
3rd hand I shipped 1200 w/ my AA and bb's AK on K44 board.
the last hand of the night which totally killed my mood was that I opened 45 utg1 w/ two black QQ and got 3 callers.
$180 to the flop and the board was Qh79h, I obv didn't really like the flop that much but still can't complain about the top set. Given how cordinated the board was, I led 150 into 180 and got one caller who just sat down few hands ago. After he called, I asked how many bills he was playing and he replied 6 (makes it 1500 to start with). Turn brought the ugliest card in the deck: 8h. I thought for a little bit and decided to go for a check/raise. So I checked and he jokingly asked me how much i had and i said I had him covered. he threw out his bills and I crai and got snap called and he turned A5hh for the nut flush. Needless to say, I never bink when I need to.
LP is my favorite fucking placeby GirlsRVicious, June 03
Variance has a big brother named doomswitch - edzwoo
Poker....
I fucking hate you
For something so easy
You are so hard
Fuck you variance
Fuck you doomswitch
Fuck me for being a pussy
Quit fucking whining you bitch
Fuck you poker
Neat little poem I wrote
Oh yea fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool I'm out
No graphs or session stats, since I'm recreating my HEM database, so here's a pretty lame blog post. Dropped roughly 2bi due to bad play (3betting some people too much and not keeping track of it) and a bit of run bad, but it really wasn't a big deal. I also had no HUD, and it made me a bit uncomfortable to play. I think I played about 1200 hands or so.
I don't think they are tough enough for regular forums. If anyone thinks its low stakes worthy than tell me and I might move it.
Hand1: Standard bluff 3bet against a wide range opener who has like 75+% fold to 3bet stats, 0 bluff 4bets expected.
1) Cbet - Should I make it bigger on Non-AK Board to generate more FE?
2)The Turn. I think this should have been a second barell.
I will be Bet/calling most of the time here right?
What should be the sizing of the barrel, can I make it big as I will call a shove anyway? + Show Spoiler +

1) PF- the original caller was pretty tight UTG so squeeze is out of the question.
Do we have the implied odds to call PF with one gappers?
2) River. I think that the flush here is very believable. Would you make the bluff here and how much do you bet? ( I think that $3.80 is ideal) Would you ever over bet in this situation?

today way okay pokerwise...
i was tired and didnt play my A game
still + 82$
which puts June + 253$ so far after 2/2 days
I definitely hope to make up for my lazy may ^^
Finally i bought a new computer ( wanted to do this for the last 2-3 months but somehow wasnt too happy with a system)
Finally i found one that is probably pretty good + cheap
I had alot of other stuff to do and played less then usuall. I´m regrinding @ 100nl, but it´s going slow, since I´m cashing out alot for expenses and some additional $$ cause I´m gonna visit my parents in germany in about 3 weeks. I usualy 4-6 table, but I have been playing 10-12 tables this month. My Won without showdown has decreased alot, and I definetly plan to go back to 4 tables once my BR hits 8000$ to play 200nl again.
We recently started our site, everything is going pretty well except that we couldn't find a nice logo to represent us. Therefore, im offering 50$ Stars for the best idea that you guys can find for us.
Criteria:
- It has to be representative of the subject
- It has to be simple and clear
- It has to be real people on the picture/Logo
- We do not want any pictures coming off google
- Taking in consideration the points above, keep it realistic
- You do NOT have to take the picture, just the idea is enough we'll take care of the rest. However
if you feel like taking the picture yourself it's will be appreciated
* If this offer interest you just PM me your information so we can talk through MSN or AIM. Thank you ^^;
Yeah mini heat-wave here in the UK. Its fecking roasting for this time of year. Not meant to last much longer though. Hard to play poker in this weather. Enjoying the BBQs
I envy people who live in hot countries. Sunshine really does make you feel good. +EV. Of course I am sure here in Ireland, the heat we are getting is nothing compared to other countries.
Last month, sucked for cash games, but was win for sit+gos/MTTs. Still need to make a FT, and really need to learn how to play in later stages of tournament. Two weak spots are;
- close to the money with a really big chipstack, or
- ITM with medium stack.
I need to work on these. I tend to spew money off with bigstack. I really need to find some reading material on how to adjust your play depending on your stack and relation to money/FT and to stacks at table. How to play pocket pairs in mid position etc. When blinds/antes are so big, when is good and bad to 3bet etc. If I can work on these weaknesses I really think I can make a final table. Also need to work on keeping mentally strong when you get into the 5th hour of a tourney. Experience can only really teach me this. Just gotta stay focused.
Been having quite good success with 180man sit+gos. They are soooo soft, and good practice for MTTs. I am cashing in them at about rate of 1 in 4, and the ROI is good when u make FT, which I am doing quite often.
So for June, I need to
a) improve MTT late game play by sourcing good reading material/videos
b) schedule my sessions more efficently (ie no lazing around reading the ROFL thread for hour before session )
c) go back to basics with cash games. 4tables max, 6handed.
d) dont think about money/buy ins at cash games ( I feel this is effecting some of my decisions)
e) learn to let go of pots when you KNOW you are beaten (when i know my hand is beating nothing but a bluff)
Anyone got any advice on MTT play, any good links/articles/books ? I ordered the Poker Mindset, which is more about psychology, which I am keen to get. It should be here soon.
Thats all, nothing baller or amazing. Yes my blog is boring

Hi all,
So I decided to take a 2k shot at 2/4 since I had been doing well recently at 1/2 and was feeling confident. Ended up playing a short 1 hour session in the afternoon and a longer 3.5 hour session later at night. Results:
So the shot is officially over which is kinda sad 2/4 is so much fun Got to play some with the infamous Jamie217 which was cool. The good news is at least my red line is solid and if I actually ran according to EV (always nice when on shots) it wouldn't have been so bad.
Back to 1/2 for now, see some of you there!
Later,
Dean
So now it's june. Have had a pokerbreak for awhile except for one casino visit last thursday. I feel pretty well overall in relation to that session even though I lost 1,25bi. What made me feel good about it were especially three hands.
1. JJ vs AA pf. Blinds were 20/20 and stacks 2000 in total. He raises to 160 in middle pos (which is standard at the casino, and I reraise from SB to 500 total, everybody folds and the aggressor calls. Flopp is k43 rainbow, I check he checks behind. Turn is Q I check he checks behind. River is a pretty uninteresting card that I don't remeber but however we check it down, and he afterwards told me he were afraid of me having set KKK/QQQ but and that's why he just checked behind. But I made him admit that he wouldn't have fold to a bet/all in from me either, just lol.
2. KK vs 33. The hand before a real donk raises utg+1 with KJ and I almost knew he wasn't strong so I started to talk about me wanting to get it in with my 33 vs his two overcards that I ofc knew he held in his hand, but couldn't do this because of another player had called. However, this speech seemed in some strange way to have tilted him (he also lost the pot to CO) and the hand after I pick up KK. Some middle pos guy raised to 160 and I decided to just flat call with my kings, and yes, this hade the supposed effect on the KJ-guy, he decided to do a pretty small squeezeplay to 450, aggressor folds. I think for a while and then raise his all in 1500, he instacalls. Flopp 873, turn 3 river Q. And so he got his 4of a kind =)
3. AK vs unknown crap? In this spot I had been squeezing sometimes against some young player that looked like some suburban rap-gangsters. This guy sat on button and made some mandatory betting to 160 and I squeezed to 500. He thought for a second and I realized that he might not have a shit but wanted to hit something. He calls and flopp came AK8 two clubs. In my world a C-bet here from me would have made him throw his hand away (but ofc I could get value from a flushdraw) so I decided to check and look like it had been a squeeze with absolutely nothing pf and that I had given up on a board as such. He took the bait and made a small bet of 240, I just called. Turn was rather uninteresting, I checked he bet 550 ( After this call I only had 1150 left). Turn was a Q of spades and the flushdraw had missed, I decided to make it look like I had missed the flushdraw but wanted to win the hand so I pushed all in pretty instantly after the river hade fallen, but he folded.
Yesterday I had my first real online session since the big tilt earlier in may. Still waiting for my RB and just had a couple of bi:s. I decided to take a shot a NL50 HU. Played to different finnish guys for about 1hr in total. Result +300e or 6bi:s, pretty nice. Think I played pretty well, but didn't get sucked out as usual and there were some free money given away.
In June remember87 and Jocke (who is often told about in Dusty's blog) will come over and live in my apartment for at least a week. I have to go to work but think we may get time to play shitloads of poker in the evenings which I consider as very nice. It's also nice to get some company. Can tell you guys that leaving your old town, leaving and breaking up with your former co-habitant to work and settle down by your own in a capital city makes you feel like a stranger. It's pretty strange how a big city that is so crowded can make you feel so badly lonesome. Must make some new friends, which also is pretty hard since the only people you meet is the older lawyers and colleagues at work or drunk people at bars and clubs in weekends. SO in June it will be great to have some of my best friends come to visit and I think it will improve my well-being a lot. This Spring has so far been terrible in many ways. I missed my former life eventhough I have got employment at, what Dusty refers to as, a big ass lawfirm. Money ain't much in this world, real friendship and love seems much more important, but sometimes I suspect that you take things like that for granted and don't appreciate it as much as you should. Therefore I suspect it feels so bad when youre "out of it".
Also I will try to work out at least two times a week and take a walk home in the evenings instead of the subway.
That's all for now, hope June will ship me some winnings!
