This is my heads up graph. I first deposited 50 and ran it all the way up to almost 1k, then lost it all back. Put 50 more another day, ran it up to about 800, all the way down to 0 again. Deposited 50 AGAIN, ran it up to about 350, then back down to 30, and now that 30 up to 350 again. Its wierd how i run so good, then just lose it all. I dont kno if i start playing differently and dont have as much care for the money. But this graph is wierd. What you think ?>
So I finally feel confident enough in my PLO game to mix it up and do 4 tables NLHE 2 tables PLO, had my first such session today and it went alright. Started out down 2k but made a come back and when I stopped playing at midnight and fired up my PT stat windows I noticed I was only down 200 - very nice.

I played >waaaay< too loose initially, probably an effect of playing so much PLO for the past 2 months. I had great difficulties keeping my VPIPs below the 40s initially (like 40/30, 36/30). Think I was leaking a reasonable amount of chips playing this way hehe.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505406 - It seems really weird for him to pot a jack here, I considered moving in but ended up wussing out.. (if he doesn't have a jack I'd put him on some kind of pair that called for 2 pair and is now bluffing)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505403 - Here I'm trying to bluff him off the 3rd nuts.. I dunno if it's brilliant but he did time all the way down... At least he didn't snapcall or I'd have been tilted! Btw I really did think he was quite likely to have a boat (maaaybe a straight) because of a previous hand where he made the same halfpot bets with middle set IIRC.
Hold'em hands: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505400 - First time I see him, I haven't played on ipoker in a couple of months, but he was quite aggressive with 3bets from the blinds, and seemed reasonable (he had like 24/21ish stats over the small sample I had on him iirc). He'd 3bet a couple of times and I 4bet him the 3rd time I think (with a bluff), which worked. Do you like a raise/call on this flop or a call/call (and probably call again?)?
I'm unsure how many pair+draws he'll have in his range.. Vs his specific hand I could have obviously gotten the money in but I'm not sure he'd call with hands like 87s or if he'd 3bet those.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505399 - Too much omaha for me? He snap-potted turn then hesitated a while on the river.. I think I missed a pretty easy valueraise here (although if he reshoved on me I'd be really fucked?).
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505397 - It doesn't make sense for him to have hit this flop with much, I think AQ 3bets, 9s MIGHT 3bet, AA and QQ certainly does 3bet and I block A9 and 99 anyway. So he probably has a draw.. I guess he can have like AT type hands too? Call flop/raise turn good? On the river maybe I'm missing a valuebet again, I sort of just wanted to see what he had. Actually, once he checks, I'm probably always good and should bet.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505396 - Another hand where I really think I've played too much omaha.. I'd expect a ten to raise me on the flop quite a lot, so I was sort of worried he'd have like an underfull. I didn't bet turn because, eh, I felt like I should be tricky since I'm not really gonna be double barreling here a ton. But then I realized I can't very well check/raise here if I expect him to raise most tens on the flop.. So I settled for call/then on the river I dunno, like every midpair he could have been calling me with has a boat now. Bet bet bet probably better..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505391 - Eh I really didn't expect him to show up with this hand.. He's quite fishy but had such a high fold % and low WTSD that I was briefly considering if I should be checking, but you know, I have TPTK..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505386 - Huge trainwreck of a hand, I was timing out due to having a difficult decision on another table so just hit the pot button. Same super tight/passive (19/5) villain from the above hand calls me.. I dunno, I hate that ace a lot =[ Not sure I like my turn bet if I check flop, maybe I should just check again.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505381 - Blah, I thought he was the minraiser so I put lots of overpairs in his range. Not sure I like this stackoff now..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505379 - Snapcalled before I noticed he overbet shoved. I might have called anyway, although I think he was trying to get me to call when he did these overbets.. Meh. Losing with trips to top boat for a buyin isn't too bad at least.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505378 - Maybe this is too fancy, this is like my 2nd hand at the table.. IIRC I thought this guy was a reg (probably saw him on a bunch of tables) and thus I don't think he has AK very often. When he calls flop and checks back turn I put him on like 99-JJ so I shove river to try to get him to call those hands.
Terribad sans history?
Kinda missed a loooot of valuebets today (in the hold'em, I think I played very well in the Omaha 6 max games) but I'm happy that I didn't really tilt much and getting back to even was nice. I've been sleeping like shit lately, going to bed at like
1 am, falling asleep at 6 am, waking up at 6 pm.. Trying to stay up to turn the clock around but falling asleep cause I've been sleeping so poorly that I'm just too tired. Vicious circle really.
lets get the blog started!by ciachooooo, August 15
Hello everyone!
my name is Bartek, and i've been playing poker for about a year, right now after becoming fucking impressed by Myths poker knowledge (sorry Peachy guy, he impressed me more ;d) i decided to create blog, post hands in which i have some doubts, hoping that some nl200+ regulars will find time to discuss with me my leaks etc.
right now i'm playing nl100, after crushing nl50 for 9ptbb over ~45k hands
i'm satisfied with vpip/pfr/agr because i play looser and more agresive than at nl50, but my wsf and won at showdown sucks so much, hope its just because of small sample
what do you think about my bet sizing? i wanted ace rag call me as many streets as possible, does it suck, and i should be beting ~90%?
villain runs 30/11/1 over small sample in which i haven't seen him calling 3 streets with

opponent runs 19/11/1.5 but was constantly 3beting me from blinds while i was raising from co/button, what play is best here?
i thought he can easily think that i'm frustrated with his 3bets, and his calling range will be really wide, but i was wrong, as he thought for a long time before calling this with qq, what is best option vs this kind of player? 4bet to 25, and fold to a raise? just call and play jj oop in 3bet pot which can possibly suck?
can i find a fold somewhere here knowing his a 12/7/1.5 nit? after his turn raise i thought about set, but i thought "i can't be so fucking scared about playing vs nits, if its set, well i have to pay him off" what about ak, aj i beat on river? is this correct to call turn despite the fact he's a nit? i thing easy call river because of ak,aj ay?
and the last hand, i'm most interested about
i'd obv love to get it in on flop, but what to do on turn, is it easiest bet on earth? or should i just take a free card, and give up on turn? what about my small river bet, is it worth it? is he folding in 30% here because it looks like vbeting a monster or its terrible?
(36/0/0.3 bleh)
is terrible,
becoz more often than not villain couldn't call a reraise,
and we can win many cbets and some medium pots if we let villain flop top pair or a weaker overpair.
Agree or disagree?
I had my biggest losing day ever today. Shit happends when you're hungover, running bad and playing 10/20. Talked to a dear friend from law school today and he told me that the new classes was official so I had to have a look. I don't know all of them, some of the people I can accept but overall I'm not really happy. I won't spend much time with them but whatever, I'm semi-annoyed.
1. Unknown girl named "Ingeborg". Probably has evil parents because the name sounds like something some senile old lady would have.
2. Very smart, very proper, very nice and good person. He's not much fun though, and he's much smarter then me.
3 and 4. Two people with identical names. Wtf?
5-7 Some dudes with a boring namn. Never heard of them.
8. Funny girl from the Svenska Spel commercials. Has apparently worked a bit as a model. She's nice.
9. Me.
10. Some girl I think I know from somewhere. Gave me a cigarette like 3 months ago. I don't smoke, but still, it's a nice gesture.
11. My friends GF since like 8 months who I still haven't talked too while sober. That might have a lot to do with my friend wanting to appear like a decent person, but w/e.
12-15: People with semi-stupid names I don't know.
16. Some small skinny dude who threatened to kick my ass when I poured beer over some girl who ended up becoming my roommate. He's nice and everything, and apparently he's into boxing and shit, but come on, he's like half my size!
17. Someone who I suspect is the daughter of the Chancellor of Justice.
18. Another random dude.
19. Some girl who pwned my ass in a drinking competition. In my defense it was 4 shots for me and 2 each for her and her friend, but still. Quite impressive.
20. "That guy". I have no idea how he got to hang out with my circle of people. Obvious beat.
21. Some girl I think I've talked to once. Cute.
22. Some girl I knew like 2 years ago. She had a bf I think. She was quite pleasant to talk with.
23-24. Random dudes.
25. Someone with the last name "Rommel". Dunno about any relation to Germans.
Not playing very well in august. Infact the last couple of days I have been playing very dumb, frustrated and tilted a bit. This sucks because I was so focused all through June, I had a good stoploss set and I didnt tilt at all. Tilting without a stoploss against regs is going to absolutely kill your winrate and whenever I do that I feel so stupid.
Im also down like 3k in donkaments, stupid Ftops... God donkaments tilt me so bad. Like my ordinary plan, I will play 2/4 for the next few days just to regain some dicipline, confidence and momentum. Also, school is soon starting again which tilts me to no end. Seeing classmates is going to be nice but I have nooooo desire to study at all. Usually I dont want to play higher than 3/6 while Im studying cause I cant focus as much and I dont want a big losing day to at 5/10 just completely destroy me since I need to maintain some dicipline in school.
Ive been thinking alot about dropping out of school again and Im leaning against doing that, but before I do, I need to prove to myself that I can aproach this game as a professional and the last few days has made me doubt myself. I want to buy an appartment in stockholm and I can never really save up for one if I tilt once a month and just play bad.
Hopefully I will win the ftops main event on sunday and I can say bybye to school for now.
Okay so today i finished my 1st week of 4 weeks PRAKTIKUM.
As i mentioned earlier i have to do this work within my university academic studies of sports science
I work from 8.00am to 4.30pm MOnday - Friday without getting money
i have to get up 6.20am every day to be in time .... pretty hard for a lazy poker player whos used to sleep till 2pm most of the time >-<
The job itself is decent though.
I work in teh rehab section of a hospital.
I basically do all the stuff that physiotherapist do
I get a list of customers who had different types surgery after their accidents
Most of them had Knee or hip operation ( some also have shoulder or arm operation)and my job is to develop different types of sports rehab excersise programms for them.
currently i am responsible for close to 30 people
So i sort similar cases of surgery and age into groups and after i developed an excersise programm for those groups that fits their individual conditions i must work through this programms with these people.
Which means i will show them the excersise by doing it myself and they try to reproduce what i do.
While doing this i must also explain them why the specific exercise is good for them and which muscle groups or joints will profit from it. I must explain them possible dangers within their currecnt condition after the surgery and also answer specific questions they have concerning what they should do and what they must not do.
So its really nice that i can actually for the first time in my life really be creative in a job.
I can help people and i have lots of responsibility
-> as a result i really didnt have much time for poker so far this week
Most of the evenings i just spent sitting over anatomy books trying to develop decent excersise programms for my customers.
I think i really did a good job so far and i got lots of good responses from differnt people so far.
The other days evenings i was in MMA train
here is the graph of all hands i played this week so far
on tuesday i opend a 6max session but quit after 10 minutes cause i was in danger to fall asleep
yesterday i owned a regular in a NL100 HU game and he quit me after being down 225$ to me
since i was tired and nobody wanted to play me HU for 10 minutes after he left i quit the session and called it a day.
Well my strategy was quite exploitinmg the fact the he is an agressive but semi bad reg
I opend the game very very tight and folded a lot preflop and to his flop bets.
Ofc him being a agressive reg he noticed and tried to adjust by putting me into preassure to take advantage of my nittines
ofc after i realized he sees me as a nitty player i totally opend up and bluffed him a bit with total air
after that he seemed a bit confused and decided to put even more preassure against me ...
luckily i hit 2 hands and so he had to reload and then was broke shortly again after his reload

Hi everyone, my gf just signed up for a makeup contest and if you come top 3 they give you free makeup for the year. She worked really hard to make her video, and i'm proud of her. After watching this i never knew girls can spend so much time getting ready, not to say its not worth it. Anyways, hope she wins. If you go to the direct youtube link pf that video you can watch it in high quality. See you all at the poker tables.
So 4 years ago at my best friends graduation party we were all pretty drunk, and at around 4 in the morning we had this great idea to hang up a bib (bag in box) http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/7b30d5b0ef8c3efb19a1ae3da4029c9d.jpg in the ceiling and let everybody go around a circle and drink it. Whilst doing this we sang a melodic tune going something like this: "Bag in box och thailändska pojkar" - which means "bag in box and little thai boys". Now in the song that they released they had to change it from thai boys to thirsty boys.
Here is the youtube vid that was released:
The song itself is an inside joke and is not to be taken too seriously but they some how got signed by warner music. So they had a release party a month ago which I went to with a free bar, which I didnt know about and kept paying (run good).
