Decide for yourself... I just dont know whats going on anymore. I can't seem to get myself a winning day. I'm just going to throw hands out in this blog post. Just tell me what you think of them.
Good Hands:
+$194http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/191469 - Against Colombo218. I can't justify doing this vs anyone else at NL200, but this guy is just so lagtardedly bad.
+179http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/191472 - Again this is against Colombo218, and me finally getting lucky. So sick how I get coolered in these spots. River one time for me!
+200http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/191476 - This is the one hand I think I dont like how I played. The opponent seems to be aggressive and capable of making moves thou. I dont know... terrible turn card thou. Seemed like a fishy call by me.
-$220http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/191482 - Set over set, guy was pretty solid thou so... foldable? Maybe? I tank'd this for a good minute before I shoved.
Ok that's about it... only down $550 today though over 4200 hands. It got pretty sick towards the end of the session thou... On another note... Colombo218 is sick. For being one of the biggest donating fish on PokerStars' NL200 right now, he's sure got some balls.
You gotta respect that... To read more about his sick 24+ hour session goto 2+2's BBV section here:
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE YOU READ THIS BLOG POST: I'm going to complain. I only lost $125 today, but I'm still going to complain. If you dont like someone that complains about losing only $125, then just stop reading now. For those that are going to continue reading, prepare accordingly-->
Today's Graph @ NL200
So I played 3800 hands today after completely taking yesterday off. I just needed to rest my brain yesterday. Also, I woke up this morning and read about the 10 billionth hand promo going on by PokerStars and realized that there was now a realistic chance that I could make my last 8k VPP's before the Supernova freeroll tomorrow morning. Well that hope went out the window pretty quickly after the continue BS that I was playing through.
Overall, I had some excellent tables, the fish were just sooo freaking bad. Friday + the new promo has brought out some juicy cash games. Allow me to show you-->
To top this off, I had sooo many hands where I made a value bet and was called and beat. I'm still in shock as to how many times I was out kicked or schooled by some guy playing his hand super passively.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/190963 - Valuebet and again outkicked vs some random passive donkey who can't seem to play a single hand correctly to begin with.
At the end of my session I just lost it for about a minute and a half and proceeded to tilt off two buyins in the following ways:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/190965 - Light stack off vs FGators26 which sometimes is good but I shouldn't have been in the hand to begin with.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/190967 - Against the retarded donkey Doakie88 that open shoved vs me earlier. This hand was like 2 hands after that hand I posted above.
I can admit those two hands were totally uncharacteristic mistakes that I almost never do, but the beats finally just got to me mentally and I lost it for a moment. Pretty costly but in the long run it's just a learning expierence. Technically without those two last hands I should have been up on the day. But I can't take them back now. Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to be playing loads and will probably be Supernova by tomorrow night. Wish me luck! I need it...badly.
You heard me. No I'm not crazy. Running bad has not made me dillusional. Here is the breakdown: I went down stairs to make some coffee, and I hear this pretty catchy song on TV, so I look over and see that TRL is playing some music video with this cute chick singing this emo pop song. The song was so good and the chick singing it was so hot that it froze me in front of the TV from start to finish. The entire time I was trying to figure out who the singer was since she looked really familiar. Then the little title key in the bottom left corner of the music video showed up at the end of the video, and I was totally left shocked as to who it was:
Artist: Gwen Stefani
Song: 4 In The Morning
ZOMG? I was like "There is no way that chick is Gwen Stefani!" Like in 95% of all of Gwen Stefani's pictures and TV appearances she looks like that total fake dumb blond that got her brains bleached out:
See? That's fucking not hot at all. But this isn't the first time that Gwen Stefani has shocked me with a surprising new look. In her music video 'Cool' (That song is good too) there is a really hot brunette chick playing in the flash backs. Wait... THAT'S GWEN STEFANI AGAIN! She makes a freakin fine ass brunette. But the blond version of her is like sooo yuck! Total Mind Fuck Yo!
Artist: Gwen Stefani
Song: Cool
And no, I absolutely hate most of Gwen Stefani's mainstream crap. But these two songs just really get to me. She just looks so fine in these two videos (aside from her blond self in the 2nd video). She's got that kind of hot that only comes out once in a while. You have to look hard for it. Somewhere behind all that crap she puts on, there is a beautiful face. Just letting you guys know!
So this game has not been kind to me these past few weeks. I've been on a sick downswing where each day I keep telling myself it will be better the next day. Infact, 2 days ago I told myself that it was impossible for me to run worse. Well yesterday I ran worse than I've ever run in a single day. The beautiful thing about it was that I only lost $1200 over 2500 hands. That is a miracle considering the shit I was put through. So last night I went through my pokertracker and spent like 3-4 hours just going over hand histories. Today I present you with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly --->
The Good
The good is that I still have enough of a bankroll to continue NL200 and attempt to ride out this crap. Also another good is that PokerStars changed the graphics on their cashier! The old one was still like x100 better... dont fix what isn't broke.
Now for some hand histories ->
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189818 - Stacking total aggro moron donkey. 99% of the time I'm like tossing my hand in this spot, but not vs this tard.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189824 - Dont you love when you got ridiculous amounts of notes/stats on someone and can pin them on exactly AK before the flop comes?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189827 - Playing like a loose/passive station vs Day[9]. He's sooo aggro though, so I dont really know another way to play it. Made sense that he could be making a move on this pot thou, so kind of a loose calldown.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189829 - Mind fucked FrinkX. Beautiful value raise on river. FU people who say double barreling this spot is better, because I disagree in this situation.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/188398 - GG & LOL @ FGators26 #2 (Btw the flat call in this spot was because dataporton and RiverStars seemed to be squeezing frequently in these spots and so I figured maybe set up deep limping aces. Pro-gamer style yo!)
The Bad
Ok that was the good. Now here comes the bad. First lets start off with a graph of yesterday's session.
Ok now lets get into some of the hands from this month:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189842 - vs Loose/Aggro Player. I guess I'm stupid for getting the money in behind? Like, everyone knows that it's totally gosu to call 3 bets out of position with 43 caz you flop 2 pairs all day baby.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189848 - First time I 4 bet Colombo218 and he snap calls this. Does he pwn me? Or is AJ too big of a hand for him to laydown?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189856 - Probably the worst beat I've taken all week. potodds is like one of my buddy listed fish. Gets away with total murder on this hand.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/189857 - Another one of the fish on my list, CasinoRoyale makes it a habit to constantly call out of position with these hands.
So I'm officially 22 yrs old today! Go me. Sorry I haven't been updating this blog as much as I use to. I've been kinda busy. Running like shit in poker. Fun stuff.
I'll leave you guys with this fun piece of media. Listen to DMX, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg first then listen to this. It's pretty fuckin amazing:
Aries Spears is just so sick. So if you want to send a b-day present ---> ID: JonnyCosMo @ PokerStars I need all the lucky pennies I can get.
Ok ok so it's not exactly TwistedEcho doing the card trick in this video, but it sure sounds like him! Pretty sweet trick, I've been practicing it for a while and I am pretty sure I got it down.
So for some reason last night I went to sleep and had this short dream and quickly woke up only to find that I only slept for like 2 hours. Fuck. Dont really remember what I was dreaming about either. So I made some coffee for myself at like 5:00am this morning, and decided I'd plug in a poker session. I'm quickly up like $650 and cruisin, then I lose $400 in litterally a span of 10 hands and mentally lose it which brings me to the following hand:
He might as well turn his hand face up. Yet I pay him off like the retard that I am. I played for 30 mins after this and ended the session down $150 total for a nice $800 downswing from my peak. Wonderful. It is around this time that I remember exactly what I was dreaming about last night...
...So in Vegas last week we are at a Liqour Store to pick up a few drinks before we headed off to Treasures. The store clerks were outside laughing their asses off at some old lady that was at the counter. "That lady is going to try to talk your head off" one of them said to us as we entered the store. So Lyric and Mango were in-line behind this crazy lady who was still at the counter talking to the poor guy working behind the counter. Daut, Mogen, and myself were just standing off to the side, as this crazy lady comes up to us. She then starts going off on some just random cracked out shit yo. She proceeds to give us the following good advice:
"Take care of your health"
"Buy lottery tickets and make mad moneys yo~"
* Touches my arm *
"Dont lose what you win from the lotto on cruises and drugs"
"Dont do drugs"
"Take care of your health"
* Starts petting my arm *
"Gambling is bad, don't gamble! Just play the lotto."
"Drugs are bad, Crack kills"
I'm just smiling and nodding through this entire episode with the crazy lady and when she finally walks away we all kinda burst up laughing at how crazy this lady was. She was mad busto in the brain.
Ok so back to what this has to do with the dream I had last night: In my dream, I'm playing online poker, running like shit, but not caring because I had a lottery ticket. Somehow I knew I was going to win or I had already won with it or something because I was playing really wreckless poker. At the end of my dream I somehow get to talking to this same crazy lady and she tells me I need to stop playing online poker and start playing the lottery. LOL.
After this morning's session, maybe the crazy lady knows what she was talking about??? Here's a smile for everyone:
So since Monday's haven't been very profitable for me at all in the past 3 months (you guys should probably check your PokerTracker and see if this is your trend as well) I've decided that I'd take the day off to play some tournaments and satellites. Why you ask? I dont know... I was inspired and last night I had a dream... it looked something like this:
How sweet would that be? Ok now back to reality. I'm playing the $150+12 Nightly Tournament along with the $3+.30 Rebuy and the $25+2 $25k Gtd. with the 3k stacks to start. If I do good in one of em I'll make another blog post later tonight.
PS: You guys should bug Daut to post what he really wants about Vegas and say fuck it to what Kathy Daut (su madre) has to think about it. Word!
I'm sooo over my downswing. April has been a disaster of a month, partly because of my own personal flaws in playing along with some piss poor luck. When I came back from Vegas I was down a total of $3600 since the 1st of April for playing NL200 & NL400. Total Yuck! But from the past week I learned a lot, especially from watching Daut play and talking to Myth about the Stars regulars at our level. So yesterday I was back to my old form, as I started the day down $500, but came firing back to being up $1100 by day's end (Sick $1600 upswing!). Plus I cashed in 3 tournaments out of 4! I've been inspired to play more tournaments, being as they are so freakin easy and the players in them are terrible, so hopefully after I learn how to work these things I can put up some good results. Still down on the month, but atleast it wont be for too much.
Until then, I hope you guys enjoy this music video. It pretty much sums up what I'm feeling right now:
I'm Over Your Lies,
And I'm Over Your Games,
I'm Over You Asking Me When You Know It's Not Okay...
...Trying to drag me down and fill me with self-doubt...
...Hurt at first, a little bit, But Now I'm So Over It.
