Down a silly amount to AWFUL fish with just 2 hands only.

+ Show Spoiler +

^ Probably butchered that hand.

Two hands later this gem comes at the same table vs a guy who 3bet shoves T8o pre and is probably drunk.

Then another hand where I get AA vs KK and the flop comes KJx. Last 4 out of 5 AA vs KK the flop has either come KQx or KJx.

Not sure how much I'm down as I'm not gonna check my BR for a few days. I think I'm playing pretty well just kinda running into unfortunate scenarios. If i had to guess im at like 2150 or so br wise. Down a few hundred in the last few days.

Fianlly I was able to get my roll onto FTP. I got the full first time deposit bonus so Im going to work really hard to put in the hands for this. Today I played a shitload. There was fuck all going on tonight so I decided to put a serious grind in.

Money was flying around today and I managed to make just over 4 buy ins. Full Tilt games are way better then UB games. With games like this I will be moving up in no time.

I played in two tournaments today on FTP. I played the Daily Double and the Midnight Madness. Didnt cash in either of them, but I dont think I played my best in them, I was far more concentrated on my cash games then these things. Oh well.

Im pretty pumped to start playing in some of the Mini Series events on FTP too. Im probably going to play in all of the NLHE ones and maybe 1 or 2 other games just to mix it up. It should be fun. Hopefully I can run good one time!!!! lol. Seriously though Im due for a torueny win.

Im so tired. Gonna crash,
GL at the tables everyone.

So I've determined that I'm currently doing very well (and running well!) vs regs, but I'm getting absolutely destroyed by fish. Here's a funny hand.

So i did the free $50 on ultimate bet after quitting poker for a couple years and getting a real job. I got laid off and decided to do poker again as it treated me well before. I played .50/1 right away which i used to crush as a gambool and luckily got KK and AA more then i got rags and now have a pretty respectable roll after one day! I just figured i'd deposit if it didn't work out haha. Excited now!

May has been a terrible month poker wise
Down atleast 14-15bi on NL5 after having to drop from nl10 to withdraw funds and when 3-4months ago I was happy with my play and doing really well and got upto NL10 fairly quick (30bi rule)
Now it seems I can't even get a break even stretch

I know this is only micro and doesn't seem much to anyone but I still take it just as serious and pretty down in my game atm.

Going to start reading over HH's this weekend and probably post a few and try and find what I've been doing wrong and start praciticing a lot more in june and hopefully dig myself up.


Also last night played some live 2/3 at crown 50-200$bi (I know quite a jump from micro online but had extra money live I just havnt wanted to redeposit online yet)

Pretty standard table
Took down first 3 pots I played then got cold....flopped nut flush vs 2pair..fills up on river + set over set but standard, then my raises pre (jj,99+kq) all got repopped and then a shove after so obviously wasn't getting it in

Then got aces in the SB
Utg(drunk) makes it 18...mp(agressive) calls...co calls..I make it 115 here
Utg calls for his stack, mp calls for his stack then and co folds

Utg shows 8's .. :/ CO shows ak I roll over aces

Board is k j 10 3 hearts and I have the ace of hearts.
Turn brick and river is a 8
UTG then jumps out of his seat and if it wasn't bad enough screams OH I KNEW THAT 8 WAS COMING I KNEW IT I FELT IT AHH WHAT A CALLLLLLLL! And then spilt his beer all over the table to.

Brb
Going to vomit


Ps. Sorry bout no pics of sexy women to liven this up on phone atm and can't upload!

Hi,
I'm fairly new here, played sc for couple years, but I was average (B6 on wgt, C on pgt). I was lurking TL for a while, and like most of you decided to give poker a shot. As luckb0xx adviced me, I started playing on betfair. I can only say, it was very good decision. I played some hands, unfortunately, lady luck was not on my side But I see, I can beat nl10 6-max. I would like you guys to give me some hints, mostly on my stats.
For a while, I played very tight, knowing that "tight is right", I tried to apply my tight game from fullring. But 6-max is different, so I tried to open my game a little bit. I don't want to whine about getting unlucky, so my only question is, if my PFR isn't too high compared to VPIP. I contbet almost every 1on1 flop, where I raised pf..

The last couple days have been awesome outside so my best friend and I decided to go golfing yesterday. Were not exactly great golfers, ok he's flat out comical. He lost 14 balls on the first 9 yesterday. Needless to say it's rather entertaining, we ended up spending more on drinks then golf. Were going out again today so this should be fun............yeah I could get used to this unemployed thing.

Hello, I'd like to start playing on FTP and I'm wondering if anyone has any reccomendations on any referrals or bonuses, etc.

thanks

It seems like once a week I just get coolered like 4 or 5 times within a couple hundred hands and just completely take a toll on my winnings for the week.

It's even more frustrating as I finally got the +$160 from the may special last night. I then start my session this evening and completely erase that within 200 hands. Heres 4 out of 5 bigger hands that happened within the first 200.

+ Show Spoiler +

^ seriously wtf..

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

Literally the same sequence happens every session for the last week. I get aces maybe around 3-4 times a session. Each session being around 1k+ 100 or 200 hands.
Three of them I collect the blinds, or I 3bet one and get an initial guys raise. Then I get one where i 3bet, guy calls and flops a set. I've lost to a set with AA 4 times in 4 days so far once a day. Really annoying although I guess it might be kinda standard. It just seems like WHENEVER i get raised on a flop and I get it in with AA I just run into a set.

Last hand = http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/697074

Linking it because I thought the discussion was good and would be beneficial to others.

Ugh I still have had a decent month, but I really should be up so much more if I could just hold every once in a while.

Oh also whenever I get a bonus from stars I always lose the $ from it super fast. I got the shitty as fuck $50 bonus twice, and both times was down a buyin when I finally unlocked it. fml

Oh well rant over, cheers LP

me in my friends are doing a bracelet bet this year for 10e a pop (high stakes eh? :D )
my team is:
1. Daniel Negreanu
2. Phil Ivey
3. Chris Ferguson
4. Allen Cunningham
5. Erik Seidel
6. Matt Hawrilenko
7. Steve Weinstein
8. Barry Greenstein

Basically went with the "oldschool" players capable of all the games besides No Limit holdem, since they are going to have the smallest fields. Took a bit of a gamble and thor and hoss because I dont know how many events they are going to play, but since they are very capable online horse players ill take my chances.

My friends teams are:

1. Sebastian Ruthenberg
2. PHil Hellmuth
3. Phil Ivey
4. Tom Dwan
5. Daniel Negreanu
6. Johnny Lodden
7. Bertrand Grospellier
8. Erik Seidel

1. David Pham 2. Steve "MrSmokey1" Billriakis 3. Phil Hellmuth 4. Daniel Negreanue 5. David Benefield 6. Nam Lee 7. Gus Hansen 8. Vanessa "LadyMaverick" Rousso"

1. daniel negreanu
2. phil ivey
3. scotty nguyen
4. allen cunningham
5. john juanda
6. michael binger
7. erik seidel
8. t.j. cloutier

1. Phil Helmuth
2. Daniel Negreanu
3. Allen Cunningham
4. Chris Ferguson
5. Erik Lindgren
6. Eric Seidel
7. Justin Bonomo
8. Isaac Barron

Justin Bonomo
Justin Smith
Chris Ferguson
Allen Cunningham
Barry Greenstein
Michael Binger
John Juanda
Daniel Negreanu

1. Scotty Nguyen
2. Tom Dwan
3. Elky
4. Mike Matusow
5. Hevad Khan
6. Phil Ivey
7. Tom Schneider
8. David Benyamine


So I think I got pretty good chances. Its winner take all but I guess 1-2 might split it because a couple of guys have the same players

um, i kinda, somehow reproduced another 10k month in back to back months o__0

its not as awesome this time since it was nl200 so its overall a lower winrate

but uhh, uhhhhhhhhhhh

now i feel pressured to keep producing T_T but i suppose thats only from myself

hopefully things will keep going okay, and you can see from the graph, i included the redline even though its mostly very embarassing and it somehow changes a bit halfway, i kept changing styles throughout and i will continue doing so until i find what i like. (i guess for about half the graph it only actually drops about uh, like 8 bi or something so thats good)

<3 all, especially edzwoo the supergenius and dryath the baller =D .. oh, and artanis for tolerating my stream of retarded questions all the time :D

+ Show Spoiler +

uhh, details fwiw, 134.51 hours played, average # of tables probably around 9, 23 vpip =D.. im lazier this month cause of downswing at start, i play only like 300hands/day for awhile

3.36 BB/100 even including a rough start! =D

I got two outed on the river about 3 times today, but I think I might have spewed about 2bi. Had I played postflop a bit better and made some folds I'd say I'd have broke even for the day. But oh well, still improving!

I also transferred my FTP roll over to Stars so now my roll is pretty comfortably padded.

Not just in poker, but in life. It's the little things that are all going my way.

I'm 4 tabling NL5 atm, it's rapidly becoming very easy. Most of the other players play with their hand face up most of the time, I still find a few spots every now and then where I don't know what to do, so I post those here afterward and always get some help.

I think I'm going to move my roll to FTP soon to take advantage of their bonus and rakeback. If anybody who reads this has made a switch from PS to FTP and has anything at all to say I'd love to know what you thought.

I've been playing pretty short sessions lately, I might keep them up and just sprinkle some longer ones in now and then or see if I can make them a little longer, I'll just go by feel.

So i'm driving home and traffic hits and moron 1 cuts me off so i have to move right while moron 2 doesn't yield to me while merging. I am going to hit 1 of the 2 take my pick but I don't really want to do that and couldn't afford insurance payments this month so i speed off and right to clear the dude merging but my back tires slip and hit the dirt and then I roll 5 times and into a ditch off the side of the freeway totaling the 2002 explorer i just bought like 2 months ago.

GG months of grinding 50nl on cake.

But at least i was wearing my seatbelt so instead of being dead im relatively unhurt and i didn't hit anyone else.

lame but ima try to be positive

So right now I'm studying a lot and I feel pretty good about it. I guess that will change when I start with the Environment laws. Me and Rednalluk invented some theory on how much longer a random sex act would last in a room full of copies of "Miljöblaken" and "plan- och bygglagen" and we decided upon somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes. It might even be more. It's the new "thing of icebergs, oh god ICEBERGS PLEASE!".

In other news me and my friend Jocke had a study night a couple of days ago. I started out like this;

and ended like this:

I'm so great, won like 30 USD from him playing limit 5 card draw. A game he regularly plays online.

In other news I won like 1k € on Barcelona vs Man U and have won some money the 2-3 sessions I've played this week so I'm not down THAT much for the month anymore. Feels good.

Tomorrow I'll go on some kind of good bye party for some exchange students and then I've got like 5 more days before the evil exam. I am, however, better prepared for this one then the last so it shouldn't be THAT much of a problem.

Oh, and this is my favourite song of the week:
