I went to the casino maybe three times this summer and played 1/2$ NL. Each time I came back with at least $100 more in my pocket. So I have 500$ profits from live play, and just a lot of good stories. The best one is when a guy sitting at the table next to us, wearing a suit, got so frustrated that he just shoved blind preflop for $100....

I sat out of stars after grinding out 3.5 buyins at 5NL, and felt I was done playing seriously for the night. But I got bored and decided to just play on Party for a while. I had about $62 after dumping $25 the last time I tilted. So I go and open up a $25NL table, 6 max, super super underolled. I just sit in there for a while and play TAG. My first big hand I had Ac with 3 cl...

I'm not really superstitious about luck but it really did seem like I was getting sucked out on or coolered every other hand the two times that I tried to jump to 10NL. Anyways, my 'bad luck' has simmered down and I am steadily building it up on stars now. I haven't touched party since I tilted since I've been feelin...

You know those days when you never get there, and your opponents always hit their flush after three streets of hard betting, or they call down their inside straight against your set, and you just tell yourself its variance and continue on. And before you know it, you...

I started off the night at $194, but it was just a rollercoaster on 5NL and 10NL tonight. I dropped to $170 at one point, which, now that I think about it, is really nothing at all, but at the time it felt like I was two steps away from tilting off a third of my roll. I s...

Since last week, something has just clicked and I'm playing really well, winning a lot when I win and losing less when I get sucked out on. I always try to find a short handed game (even on party which doesn't have 10NL 6max tables), since I'm trying out a more aggressive style that works best short h...

I haven't been on their site for months ever since I went busto and deposited on stars. I figured, why not? I'll just play on it when I don't feel like playing with my main bankroll. So I took the $15 and started up three $5NL games. Two hours later it's doubled to $31. This is like shooting canned sardines. The field is wayy easi...

Ah well. I busted out on the free $50 at party, and busted out on the $50 that I got from referring 5 people, and busted out of the $15 that I deposited as well. I tilted out all the money that I got from titanpoker and vc poker, and I'm also down $200 at the casino when I went with friends. I look back at the past blog ...

After sleeping off last night, I realize that my plays on the AA and JJ from my previous post were bad, and I'd never make those plays if I were playing online. But since it was live, I analyzed it differently than I normally would. Hopefully I can fix this by the next time I play at the casino, but for now I'll be away and probably wont have time to play e...

We bought in for $200 at the same table and started playing. I decided to play TAG, and basically followed Grot's guide.. So, raise pf with AQ+, limp with 88-, raise with 99+ lp.

I didn't play today when I wasn't in the mood, and I even took a break and came back feeling great.

And really the only thing I can say is, it was bad playing on my part. So I took a break, cooked dinner, and then sat down again with my mind fresh. I slowly won back my money by playing carefully. Then, I got my big break when I re-rai...

I started two weeks ago with the $50 PP deal, and brought it up to $80 by the second day (I declined the bonus $25 after learning it would only stay in my account for a month. In hindsight, a bad decision). Last week, I lost over $50 to a mix o... Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:01:53 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=151111
