I havent been doing very well and i wanted to buckle down and grind out some profit before moving back to other things. [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/36_6max.JPG[/img] I just cant seem to do very well. Im for sure running under expectation, but i also havent played my best. I had 1 -4500 session in there, which made me realize that i need to be a lot stricter about my stop losses. I hadnt had a 7-8 buyin loss in a session in a long time. Im reinstating the 4 buyin stop loss for 3/6 and 5/10 and ill use a 3 buyin stoploss for games at 10/20+ in the future. Barely winning over such a large period of hands is really frustrating. I feel like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 3 when he is training with Apollo for his rematch vs Clubber Lang. You know the scene, where rocky is taking punches to the head from Apollo but is having flashbacks to his first fight with clubber, but he isnt going down because the punches are so much weaker. (gotta click comments to see the video, dunno why videos arent showing up on the main blog page) Thats how i feel at 3/6 6max. Most of the players are just so much weaker than opponents im used to playing and i see all these awful things but keep getting my head beat in. Im going to keep fighting and work through this. I will keep reviewing all my pots where i lose 30bb or more, look for things i can improve in my game, and keep playing high volume until im comfortable to move back into other things. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 daut http://daut.liquidpoker.net First poker. Been doing very well this month up till about 2 days ago. I had 3 bad sessions in a row playing 3/6 6max and i did a lot of thinking/work on why i was playing bad. A lot of it was running bad but i definitely was not playing my best. I had about an 8 buyin downswing over the course of 3-4k hands, so i went through all the pots over 30bb i played and looked through PT to find some errors and i think i corrected most of them. So far ive won 5 buyins back and im going to play till i win about 5 more buyins before moving back into higher 6max games. Anyway, here are the pt stats for january so far: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/ptfirsthalfofjan08.JPG[/img] Its not listed because its at the bottom, but ive started tinkering around at 2/4 hu. i really want to improve my hu game so im going to start at 2/4 and work my way up after i win about 20-30 buyins at each level. ive never really spent any time working on it and i believe being a good hu player is the key to moving past 10/20 and 25/50. ill probably spent some time watching all the hu videos on CR and going through sessions of hands to see how the game flow is going. Outside of poker there are 2 new possible loves in my life. The first is mr townsends now ex assistant brooke. it seems she is no longer under mr rugbys wing and a free bird these days. as andrew proved in an earlier blog entry, her name along means shes hot so we should be on the search for her. lets track her down. i typed brooke into google images and these are some of the brookes who i dont recognize that might be her: [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/186/478267700_802e8fc986.jpg[/img] [img]http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/4015/day4brookesb9.jpg[/img] [img]http://myspace-192.vo.llnwd.net/01211/29/13/1211683192_m.jpg[/img] [img]http://thump01.pbase.com/t6/54/634954/4/75647486.UpDO5xcf.jpg[/img] Any of these could be her. Also, i never watch the show usually, but kathy daut convinced me to watch american idol with her the other night. I fell in love with one of the contestants, kristy lee cook: She trains MMA (sick armbar in the video), is super hot, good country singer and is going to be famous soon. if anyone knows how i can get in touch with said goddess let me know! check out her american idol video (YOU HAVE TO CLICK COMMENTS TO SEE THE BLOG ENTRY AND VIDEO FOR SOME REASON): text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 daut http://daut.liquidpoker.net So I decided I wanted to improved my limit game because I think it would really help with tough postflop situations and help my hu NL game in certain situations where i need to get max value with hands and need to make big call downs. I started off the day trying to get hu limit games anywhere from 2/4 to 10/20. i watched a couple schneids vids and played a bunch and apparently i really really fucking suck at hu limit. check out this mess: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/lol_hu_limit.JPG[/img] LOL. that has to be the most pathetic thing of all time. i cant even claim running remotely bad as i lost to about 6 separate opponents. ok i guess i wont be playing any more hu limit. BUT ON A POSITIVE NOTE...i decided to not totally give up and try to grind back the losses at other limit games, and VOILAAAAAAAA, apparently i can minbet decently in 6max: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/weeee_6max_limit.JPG[/img] so i made 18 dollars today. weeeeeeeeeeeeee ship it. ok im done with limit, back to grinding nl cash tomorrow. new years eve was fun, and im contemplating mspainting some of it for your viewing pleasure, but it will definitely take a while to do. maybe ill do it when im in bahamas. the pictures would have funny moments from the nights of ahh_snap and martine23. and one final note, i have joined the dark side. i was in EB games the other day and there was an after christmas sale, and i picked up WoW and the expansion for only 30 bucks! this is what my character will look like after im not a newb: [img]http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/02/17/300_icon_games1.jpg[/img] my characters name is NazgulFartsniff.
