Little better results today. Lost a pretty big pot to a complete fucking retard, or else it would have been an excellent session. Won some pretty nice sized pots so it's all good.
Folded a couple of questionable ones, but I'm really not all that concerned with questionable folds. It's the calls that stick with me for a while.

I'm really debating if its not worth it for me to drop down to nl2...get a br for nl10 and try it....i run SO bad at NL5 its not even funny...im 7k hands in at 2BB/100...i keep getting it in ahead and shinanigans happens....I'm pretty much 100 percent sure its mostly just coolers and suckouts...but the amount of mass table grinding that happens at that level makes it tough to get money cuz everyone is micro-nitting...So when i get in a hand with something....someone else almost always has a decent hand...and i cant hit to save my life...and every time i get in a pot with a fish...retardedness happens....Sry bout the vent session...luckily i'm not down at the limit, actually up a lil, but still...i've been fluxuating between up 15 and 20 bucks for 2 days...and im just like...argh....the hand that really got me just donkey nuts and pissed at the limit was i had KK and got reraised so i called...hit my set with K42...shove he calls....flips over aces...turn 5 river 3 gg set of kings...i about broke everything in site (which would have been sad cuz that would have included my nice new compy and my guitar ) ...so yeah...just venting...any advice on what to due on a ....dry streak to say the least...
next on the agenda is monthly update and then a post asking if anyone is going to want to chill/whatever while I'm in vegas from the 8th to the 15th ^^
Jesus what a crazy day i've played 7k hands 4-6 tabling
nl100 is ridiculous and i run jj into kk/aa vs habitual 3betters constantly and keep getting gay stupid setups vs retard regulars.
200bbs deep i had 22, open pf, faggot nit reraises, other random dude calls, i call.
flop is 2T7ssx, i c/r
turn is A, i shove, he has AA wtfever.
asdf;oaidf; nl100 is hard. I guess i'm not the amazing player i thought i was who would steamroll these guys but i can still spot lots of leaks in their games so i'm not really too concerned i guess i just have to settle for lots of variance in a very lag game and a smaller winrate than i'd like.
Going into super nit mode until my bankroll recovers. Or maybe I'll stay in nit mode until I don't care about the money anymore and I decide that I want to learn how to play "real" poker.
I could of sworn that each hand in poker is an independent event. So why does -every- heater have to turn into a downswing? Pretty sure I'm playing OK. Definitely not tilting, infact I'm quitting this session because I feel like I may, possibly, perhaps be at risk of tilt at this point. Preventative measures!
Anyway I hope I don't end up in a giant fuckin downswing because that'd make me a very sad panda.
My overall winrate is still fine/acceptable/good/above average 5.5BB/100. I was just hoping to normalize over my future hands instead of having to endure a giant downswing normalizing my entire fuckin winrate and thus making it as if I didn't run good at all this month ;( lol
Obviously I still far-exceeded my goals for the month so long as I don't downswing too much in the next 2 days, I'm still rather pleased.
/edit
3k(down 2bi) of 10k in 2days challenge complete lol. Too hard for me to play more than this at nl100 still 24 hours and we'll see how many hands I have for the 48h period lolol
I'll send first if they are trusted members, have $612 for your $600 on ps, poast here.
fuck ftp they froze an account i was using because i didn't know my log-in/password for the original account i had made with them over a year ago. In the process of trying to get them to give me the money on that account... <--- backstory on why i'm moving and probably not going back.
Biggest losers were 100bb, 100b, 80bb. Biggest winners were 90bb, 40bb, 35bb. Poo.
I'm actually not super upset at the session, didn't donk off too many chips. I feel as if I was put in a couple of weird spots, and didn't really get paid off as much as I should have. Hmm, I've been overbetting a lot of my bigger hands, but I thought that was the key to 10NL. Maybe I'll cut back a little.
My 3rd consecutive 1k+ hand morning, and it's getting easier and easier every day. Downloaded HEM while at work today, gonna transfer over my DB, and give it a shot tomorrow morning.
A picture from the co-ed baby shower I mentioned in an earlier post.
Unfortunately I was out like a light when this picture was taken evidenced by the goofy-ass look on my face.
Vodka shots chilled in a baby bottle served in a grappa stem? PURE.FUCKING.METAL
I was very surprised by how hammered everyone got at this thing. I've only blacked out 1 other time in my long career. Recipe for success: (1) a bunch of beaten down husbands/fiances with nothing really in common (2) alcohol.

Made a thread on this hand. Concensus was that pushing was okay. Tom thinks I should have flatted the flop to his overbet.

God, Spew and whatnotby DustySwedeDude, February 26
So since my omahahahafail during the first few days of the month I haven't played much. I told myself only to play 2/4 for 30k hands and since it's boring as hell I'm not playing much. Only 4-tabling too. I'm up 5.5k over 11k hands for a winrate of like 5.5ptbb/100. Running at 32/27/4 and according to HEM (which I finally got to work decently) I'm a bit under equity in all in pots, I'm losing money in showdown pots and I'm making a ton in non-showdown. Is that last 2 things weird or just standard?
Anyway, I went to some Laleh consert with Remmember87, a few of his friends, my sister and my roomie. I'd say the music is like 7/10 or so but the girl has some serious stage presence. We were to far away from her to really see her good but she was still like super funny and inspiring. If someone can find me a God who acts like her and has her antics I'll sign up for that faith.
I thought it was fucking awesome. He nailed it. He's sticking to the campaign promises that I remember and wanted him to go after, and he's approaching everything just the way I expected him to. I'm not at all let down, am extremely impressed and feel like he's living up to my expectations. There's been a lot of people trying to bring Obama down lately and since I haven't been paying much attention I have wondered whether the naysayers were right. But he totally re-assured me that I made the right choice in supporting him with this speech. I love his plan for the country, the scope of his longterm vision, and his understanding of the problems at a deeper level. And I think he delivered the speech masterfully. There's very little that he could have done better, imo. I loved how he joked around a bit, how he reached out to both sides, how he was stern with the bankers and called on Americans to take action. I loved the line addressed to high school students about how dropping out was not only quitting on themselves, but quitting on our country.
I'm totally confident that he will get us back on track if people just put aside partisan BS and get working. Obviously the far right wing will never agree, but their philosophies were rejected by the vast majority of this country after seeing the way those policies got us into such a mess after 8 years of a president who was their bitch. Those guys will never be happy and sorry, but tough shit, you had your chance and failed so now it's time for us to fix your mess.
And maybe I've got a skewed perspective because of the bush years, but usually during these speeches 90% of applause lines have half the chamber sitting and half the chamber standing. During this speech there were only a handful of times where all the republicans stayed seated. There were quite a few times where most republicans stayed seated, but nearly every single applause line had republicans standing and clapping along with the democrats. And there were a shit load of times where the entire chamber stood up. I've never seen that much support for a president. That was amazing. And inspiring. It was good to see so many republicans who were willing to toss the partisan shit aside and stand up and clap and show support for the good ideas coming from the president.
I found the entire thing on youtube for those of you who missed it. Seriously, it's worth watching. It's the best speech he's given since the campaign imo.
