First off, let me state how much more I prefer online poker than live now, it had been a couple months, but now its blatently obvious how much better online is than live. Having the chance to play 800-1200 hands per hour is just so much better for learning and winning.
Heres my first days stats back online too, my session didn't last long because it was very late when I arrived back home;
NL10 - was running fairly good, can't believe I played 21% though lol, I'm usually 15-17%, but small sample size
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1039 hands and saw flop:
- 80 out of 144 times while in big blind (55%)
- 38 out of 144 times while in small blind (26%)
- 103 out of 751 times in other positions (13%)
- a total of 221 out of 1039 (21%)
Pots won at showdown - 26 of 50 (52%)
Pots won without showdown - 113
went 1/1 FTbling the $4 180 man SnG today, had chiplead for a while...we grinded final 3 for an hour and I busted QK vs A2, followed by AQ vs K5 (Ryan Daut anyone?) ^^
That being said, heres how my trip went;
Day one was pretty fun, the night started off slow, and ended pretty fast after a couple key hands.
on 1/2
Hand one, two pla<x>yers limp in MP, and I raise KJos on the button, pick up two callers, one in the sb, other in MP.
Flop comes out TJ2, MP fires out 15, I shove for 80. SB goes allin, MP calls. The MP pla<x>yer was one of the only pla<x>yers at the table that I gave respect too, the rest of the table was extremely lag & trying to get lucky on every hand. So the SB flips Q9s, for an open ender, MP flips QKs for the other open ender. Turn blanks and river hits an 8 to send me to the cashier for more chips. I decide to get away from this game and try out the 2/5 dynamic.
2/5
After I sit in for a few minutes, I notice most of the table is drunk and playing pretty LAG.
Key hand #2 -
Button comes out firin 15 to open the pot, my initial instinct is he's just buildin a pot on a strong drawing hand, so I pop it to 60 with my AA from the SB. He instantly calls me, flop comes KT7, I check trying to set up a trap, hoping he will push me in with AK. He checks behind. Turn is a 6, bringing out a flush draw. I drop a PSB out n he folds. After this, I sit for another 30-40 minutes card dead and leave since I got there at 2am and planned on playing all day friday.
Friday comes, I get to the casino as fast as I can after I wake up, only to get totally annihialted in the 1/2 game.
Pretty much went like this - no matter what the odds were, I was sucked out on. I've pretty much blocked this day out of my psyche since the beats were so brutal. I was carddead for a good few hours before getting stacked KK vs AJ, and JJ on a 89Th flop, I had the Jh. Villian had QQ w/ the Qh. whoops? ;-)
Day 3 was really fun.
I came in, sat 1/2 to get warmed up.
First hand of the night I pick up a T6s in the SB, complete and here we go. Flop comes AAk, checks around. right now the pots small, but still worth winning. Turn brings another King, the button fires out 12, I flat with a flush draw I picked up on the turn and fire a 1/2 psb on the river to take it down. His play was a very transparent steal.
A few hands later, a lag girl on the button opens the pot for 12. She had raised 6 of the past 15-18 pots, and right before this hand was dealt, I say to her, "thats a wide raising range you got." I look down and see TT in the SB. I repop to 40. She thinks for a minute or two and shoves..At this point I had no read really, other than she was raising a ton and never getting called. I think for a few minutes and flat like a retard and watch her flip AA. I miss a gutterball and I'm down more, yah!
After this, I pick up QQ in the SB after a MP guy comes out for 12 (the standard opening raise at the table). I pop to 40 again, he thinks for a minute, and shoves. At this point, I have to admit I was steaming from the TT vs AA, and make a retarded call. (After thinking about it, the only hands this guy is shoving is KK/AA/AK..well, he flips over AKo, A comes in the door and I'm out.
Ended up losing a cool 550 during the trip, but had alot of learning experiences. I wasn't giving the pla<x>yers at the 1/2 close to enough respect during the games, and got crushed for doing so. This is my first losing trip to the casino in my last 5-6 trips, so its all good. Was averaging $600-$2,500 per trip, so just kinda gave one of the smaller winning trips back to the playas.
Had thought alot about what I'm going to be doing in my near future with poker, and came to the decision that I'll stay in my house in Pittsburgh during the remainder of my lease (til august 28th), then move to vegas to deal and play. I'll be working part-time here in Pittsburgh while grinding pokerstars and hopefully continuing my learning experiences day in and day out, so I'll be ready for Vegas.
Lost, but had fun, got to see alot of my family and some friends from back home, and got to learn some things about myself that I don't really care to post, but I'll just say it was a very important trip.
So be expecting to see alot from me and my online hands in the future, I hope to grind my way back up the limits like I did before, hopefully this time with more success and better BR management.
GL & HF everyone,
