So yesterday I played my first NL10 session and it was one of the craziest sessions of poker I've ever played.

I was getting awesome cards, running insanely hot, still I was loosing huge pots and splitting even bigger ones, stacked people PF with aces 2 times both times villain had aces also stacked another guy with the nut straight on the flop, guess what he had ? =x

I kept playing and getting good cards but then I run my Kings into Aces in a low board and my AQ into KK on KQQ board, i can tell you i never got to play so many hands with such great cards but i was soon down 3 BI and feeling like shit.

I almost stopped and went back to NL2, but the cards kept coming and I couldn't stop myself and I'm fucking happy i didn't, pretty soon i started to crush the tables it was fucking insane, my overbets with the nuts were getting RR by people with midpairs, sets on the flop turning into FH and completing other people's draws I felt like I pulled a David Blaine out of my ass, magic.

There is not much difference between NL2 and NL10, the major one is that it's no longer 250BB deep so this makes the short time variance a little higher, the players are a little more tight but i think i still have a big edge over them especially if i keep running this hot, it's not like I'm counting on it but I would like that very much, also shortstacks are just dead money on the tables, they are even worse then on NL2.

In my last post some people didn't like the boobs I posted (wtf is wrong with u ppl ?) so here's some generic camwhores.

Enjoy

Title says all. I had my first exams in this semester, with success. We had a company party on Thursday. I'm working as a PR manager now btw... Lots of coctails for free, good music, what else do you need? Obv i was there with my gf, we got a bit drunk, and you know, the sex is even better with some alcohol
My internet provider suddenly doubled our brandwith: God, 20 Mbit/s internet, so sweeet!

I'm doing great with poker, too. I'm playing a 17/13 style @NL25, no need to loosen up right now, and i dont have a lot of time to work on my game, so i'm satisfied with my results:

Okay i made a descision.

1.) I wont grind microstakes anymore

After losing 9 BI on Nl50 saturday and Today while actually being +2BI in EV i am not rolled for Nl50 anymore and must go down to Nl25 again.
However i wont do this.
The money reward on NL25 that i can get with the time i invest in university and MMA isnt just worth the boring grind.

University + MMA + poker would almost completely rape all my " free time" and i am not willing to do this for liek 450$ a month i can make grinding Nl25

The last 20 days brought confidence in my Poker game back.
I grinded from Nl10 to Nl50 and made some decent profits there the first days while actually not running good.
I play good mostly and i have confidence in my skills.

the money i lost was all due to bad luck.

SO i cash in some of my own money ( not poker winnings) and will play Nl100 again which was my regular limit before i hit my ipoker downswing.

If this fails i am oficially done with poker.

GL all


EDIT

Well i thought a bit about it now and i might accept if someone is willing to stake me for Nl50

Holy fuck boys. Right now I am just shit faced. Just got back from FUBAR! Didnt go so well tonight and I am pretty pissed off about it... fuck

Ive been goin out on little dates with this chick for a while but never really gone out with her to a bar. Tonight she really wanted me to come so I said alright and I brought my one buddy who is going to go by the name or Clarence because Clarence is the gayest name in the league and my buddy was a fucking gay bitch tonight.

We get there around 11ish and there this girl was and she had a friend too. Things were going pretty fucking solid until my buddy got waaaay to drunk and just started being a fuckin slopy vagina all over the place. I was sittin with some of my other buddies at a booth and the girls come over and sit with us heres how it went...

Clarance / Girls friend / my girl / me

We sat like that so when my buddy wanted to talk to me he was so shit faced that he would lean over all of them squishing the friend and she was geting a look on her face like WTF is with this plug. He tries to talk to me again and fucking spills his drink all over both the girls. DOES THIS GUY HAVE WHEELS OR WHAT> HOOOLY FUCK. It was pretty much game over from there.

Thank fuck this girl really wants me or this night would have just been a complete fucking shit show. I go to dance with her and her friend and my buddy keeps trying to get up on her friend. She was not havin it at all and she probably moved like 5 times before CLARANCE got the fucking hint. So he says fuck it and goes to get another drink.

Then the girls go to the bathroom and my buddy gets fucking kicked out. You gotta be joking me... The girls come out and I tell them I have to go because shit noob clarance got the boot. My girls friend was actually happy he got kicked out because he was a disaster. My girl was pretty pissed that I had to leave because my friend was such a fuck up tonight. So I left with my head down...

All I can say is I should have fucking known this shit was going to happen and its my own fault for bringing this guy out with me to try and wheel some brods again. He is notorious for being retarted when hes drunk and I knew that before. What I dont fucking understand is how this guy actually gets brods when hes drinking because hes such a fucking slop show its embarassing. His gfs have actually all been fucking solid but yet he cant even keep his shit together for one night at a bar holy fuck.

The other reason I should have known this was going down was because I have tried to wheel brods before with him and he just completely fucked it up because he has no brain. There was this one time about a year ago when I met this brod at a bar one night who was older then me. I had just turned 20 and she was 23. She was lovin my shit and I got another notch under the belt. We were chillen once and a while and one night she was with her friend and wanted to see me. So I was with this guy and he said he would tag along and I said alright whatever. The thing is this girl had no idea how old I was. As far as she knew I was atleast 23. Her friend was 24 and a total dime show. Before we chilled with them I told my buddy not to say shit about how old we were because this girl thought I was older then I really was. We get drinkin with him and the one fucking brod starts talking about her birthday and my buddy says this genious thing. "Man I really cant believe that I am 20 now. It feels cool to be able to say Im 20" Honestly boys you should have seen the look on this girls face. SHE WAS PISSED!!!! HAHAHAHA but serously my buddy is a fucking idiot... I even gave him the heads up. Needless to say I never talked to this brod again after that night and havent seen her since. Fuck em.

But fuck man I seriously should have know better. For sure I do now though. NEVER BRING CLARENCE OUT WHEN TRYING TO GET SOME PUSSY BECAUSE HE IS A PUSSY!

It wasnt a total loss thought Im going out with the brod tomorrow. Make up for it.

That 9 BI win the other day wasn't real. That was a fake recovery. I think this is the real one.

Today was awesome. I ran pretty well but also feel really good about how I played, that I wasn't relying on suckouts to pad my win. Got it in as a 70% + favorite nearly every time. I also hunted down a bunch of donks who literally gave me their money... I mean shoving the flop with middle pair bottom kicker type of shit like wat this guy did:

+ Show Spoiler +

I made 2 mistakes which I'm not happy about in big pots, but otherwise am very happy with my moves. I definitely played solid winning poker sticking closer to 8 tables than I usually do on a Saturday night. Had a few moments with 12 tables going but I tried to close some down quickly I was around 8-10. I ran good in the sense that I hit a lot of hands and had moronic donks who would pay EVERYTHING off. Found one maniac playing 70/50 with a 56% Aggr Freq and 30% 3bet. He played every hand like it was the nuts and it was easy to induce shoves preflop and bluffs on every street from him. I Left that table after stacking him a bunch and I was sitting on $500.

Picture time:

Everything since Wednesday when I had the 9 BI session:
http://premium1.uploadit.org/IAElitesquad//Graph-12-07-08-NL100-Dollars-4day.jpg

14 Bi days are nice. heh. I wish I had more of them! So now I'm sitting at $3,900. Figure I will consider a NL200 shot tomorrow if things are still going well and I see some loose tables or super donks. Otherwise I'll just keep grinding NL100. I want to do at least 2 sessions tomorrow, hopefully 3. I am also 300 VPP away from clearing another $650 bonus which I need for xmas expenses. Should clear it tomorrow which is great. Then I will be saving FPP till I hit 100k so I can buy a $1,500 bonus now that I'm not in such a money crunch anymore and can afford to wait a bit longer.

That's all for now!

No losing sessions of NL50 and running at a sweet 8.5 BB/100. Above expectation of course.

Played 1200 hands today and went up 4 buyins. People were throwing money at me so fast I couldn't keep up with half my hands. It was awesome.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/f8cc4bcc6ba90d8f604d2c63b908f204.png

all the losing came from today most from running bad and some from bad play I guess

I'll probably just keep playing 1/2 HU on ftp and if I go busto back to stars I go

Its snowing like a mother fucker here right now. It kinda sucks becasue I was supposed to go out tonight and get fucked up but the driving conditions right now are just so shitty. Not all that bad though because Im going up to Mt. Tremblant snowboarding next weekend so the timing for this dump of snow couldnt have been better. I hope they are getting hammered with snow up there too.

I had my little NLHE binge for the last two days and it went alright. I think I made 4 BI's. It was fun but this game seriously just isnt for me. Its to tight to boring imo. LHE is lots of action and I really like that. I got back to the LHE tables today and had a nice session. Its been a tough December though. I was playing way more aggressive today and making some pretty solid calls in tough spots. I think the agression came from playing so tight in the NLHE lol.

For the most part in the LHE books Ive been in the red because I had a huge loss on Dec 1 and for most of the month Ive been trying to get outta that hole I made myself. Today I finally got there lol. The swings at this limit are a bit bigger then I expected so it took a bit longer to get outta this hole lol but Im glad I got there. So Lets keep it in the green for the rest of the month.

I gotta get going because tis snowing like a bitch and I gotta be at hockey in 30 mins... not happenin lol.

PZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

So I was planning on skiing all day today at a ski hill about a half hour from where I live. I picked my season pass and was on my way. At the end of last year I spent more of my time in the terrain park hitting the 10' 15' 20' and 40' jumps. So I'm pretty comfortable in the terrain park and it's nothing new. Since this was my first time out this year I decided not to start out directly in the terrain park. After about an hour I headed that way and this is where my bad decisions begin. Usually I like to see how the landing is etc before I start going for big air which is usually a good decision, however, this was not the case today. The place I spent most of my time at last year had a real nice landings no flat areas to really clear and I anticipated this hill would be more of the same. This of course leads to my demise. I ended up hitting the 15' and to my suprize there was about 10ft of flat I had to clear to get to the landing which I soon realized I was not going to clear. I had a chance until the wind held me up and I came up about 3 feet short so I landed hard and I did something funky to my left knee. I'm really hoping I didn't blow it up since I just bought my season pass. If I did GG to all the fun stuff I like to do that requires mobility.

So I sat down last night and played about 500 hands where I managed to play extremely well. Got it in as a huge favorite many times and as a slight favorite a few times. The shitty thing was that I lost basically every hand where I got it in as a favorite, and I didn't get it in behind at all so there were no chances to suck out.

The weird part is that I felt great while playing. I've never felt so happy while losing so much. I kept getting the money in at great spots and would be fist pumping, then I'd lose and be like "oh well". Eventually I figured I better quit though cause I've never run so horribly bad before in my life, and it seemed like PS was just telling me that I wasn't supposed to be playing poker. I guess this is what a doomswitch feels like.

So I guess the downswing is officially here. On Thursday night I had a several thousand hand session where I was breaking even, then I got it in 3BI deep with AK on a KRR two suited board vs a mega 80/50 fish and he made a flush on the river with J9s, no pair. So that turned a break even session into a 3BI loss when it should have turned into a 3 BI win. Damn. Then add in last night and I've lost everything I earned in my fun "Recovery begins" session, hehe. Let's just hope this is a short downswing.
