I'm cool

I'm going to cash out $200, and leave myself at $500.

And with this im going to play Sit n go's since im bored of cash games. I'm not going to be playing for big profit but more to rekindle my liking of the game. I'm going to multitable the $1.75 turbo's initially and then if im crushing them i will try the $3 ones.

I know sit n go variance is much higher than cash games and im ultimately gunna end up pissed off with a bad streak but when ive got like 250 buyins the swings wont effect me at all and it shud provide some much needed fun for me.

Down 4 buyins in 150 hands.

AK vs AA reraised i hit my king.

Set vs OESD he hits it

JJ AIPF vs 94o, he flops 2pair and wins.

Set under set

-$100 in 150 hands, poker sucks

What do people do when this happens, do i continue playing or what? i feel physically sick to have this many setup/coolers in such a small space of time.

Sigh, i hate the swings that come with poker. Can be doing so well then all it takes is 3 hands and boom there goes all the money you made in the session.

Was 5 buyins up at one point then BOOM. Im not sure what i think about the way i played these hands but they are annoying hands for sure. Posted 2 of them up on hand discussion so hopefully ill get some responses~~

QQ vs AA

Was confused a bit here, had the 9 for an out and an overpair, dont know if i can lay this down against an unknown tbh.

His flop call is questionable, but i guess this is standarD? turn situation is ??????? for me tho

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/211846

Preflop play by me is bad tbh. But i had position on the raiser and a lot of dead money in pot, still dunno. Flop i cuda raised a bit more but other than that its standard, 56% even tho he had AA, as usual i cant hit~

Anyway i still ended up for the session despite this bullshit last 400 hands or so. Heres results and Graph/stats.



Sigh


Hit silverstar and if i keep playing decent amount of hands i shud hit goldstar by end of month again.

played probably the most poker ive ever played in one day today, and overall im SLIGHTLY up lol. Which is good.

The swings have been INSANE today, dont know why, just have.

To give an indication of how well i ran, i was in preflop with kings 6 times, and they had aces 5 and queens once T_T

Anyway results...



Some interesting hands came up but i really dont feel like sifting thru them all cos im a lazy fucker.

Btw im right on the A8 hand, i refuse to believe its bad. fu all im right ur wrong.

I dont think im playing any differently, but apparantly i am, since im just losing and losing. I enjoy playing poker but while before i used to make money out of it, its fast becoming a very expensive hobby.

This month im down from a peak of $900 BR, to a pathetic $690 at time of writing this. Maybe it is variance, but it feels like shit. I'm making some stupid plays for sure but if i lose another 80-20 allin im gunna cry .

Everytime i get AK it misses and then they float my cbet and then pop turn, wtf can i do? stop cbetting? i just cant seem to hit any hands at all and then when i do i am either behind or drawn out on.

Im going to post up every hand where i win/lose half a buyin or more to see what spews i'm making that i can cut out of my game, since im sure theres definately spew involved in my game.

a 9 buyin downswing feels like shit, i really hope i can start winning again I'm going to move down to nl10 if i ever hit $400 again but lets hope it doesnt come to that!

Maybe ill buy some coaching...

Have barely played last week, played some on the 27th and dropped a tonne due to mass setups.

Played another 1.7k hands today, and im up a grand total of $18, but im happy to say that im up. Ran very badly overall, met some harsh coolers. Id have been up 5+ buyins otherwise, but nevermind, glad i played well, earnt a few FPP and almost 1 buyin too.

Aiming for 35k hands this month, should be very achievable even though its the last week of uni and gotta socialise a lot.

Havnt playd much over the weekend at all really.

Only got in about 500 hands on saturday, and today put in a 1k hand session.

Have run insanely bad over these hands which is quite annoying seeing as i was so close to moving up. Oh well, more nl25 for me.

Down about 5 buyins in 1.5k hands is pretty harsh especially since its not from bad play (i think). Just all my cbets being reppopped, all my cards missing etc, then the setups too.

Started off with some poker in the morning, then me and my mate decided to go down a random river in rubber dingys all day which was mass funny, going down weir's in one of those is crazy.

Also got some crazy fucking swan charging at us in the river. So we had to fucking dive out the boats and get onto land (yea we are pussies we even had oars and shit to fight back, but swans are the queens animals you know, cant hurt a swan).

On land we fucking ended up in a field of bulls, so we were trapped with bulls one side and a really pissed off swan the other, walked down a bit then the bulls started running at us, so we thought fuck it and dived off the side into the water with our dingys.

If that made no sense heres a picture to clear things up:



Swan fucked off after that and we were free to continue.


Ended up in some tiny shit town in the middle of nowhere, with a sign saying "fordwich, britains smallest town". Had to walk all the way fucking back and infact gotta still go pick up the boats in a minute. Good times.

Then came back here and put some more poker hours in. Entered the 3+30 10k rebuy on stars too.

Both went pretty well tbh. Busted in the tournament in a really gay fashion (as usual). AQ vs A7 aipf, he hits 7, no Q for me, then im down to like 60k when average is 140k, very next hand i get dealt 99 and the chipleader raises it, i push over he flips over AA, gg my tournament. Busted in like 83rd for $37 only. Bit pissed off really.

If i didnt do so well in cash games today id be really pissed off about the tourny, but instead im just a little annoyed, pleased with myself for getting so far more than anything.

Cash games:

Put in 5,300 hands over the day, biggest day of hands ever for me (i only 6 table).

Ran nicely for most of it too. Heres a summary+graph:





My current BR is therefore at $970, if i include the $52 donk money i got at titan which i can almost withdraw, it takes me up to being rolled for NL50! I wont move up yet though i feel ive got a lot of nl25 still to play in me but if i keep playing the amount of poker i am currently, it wont be long until i am playing nl50.

Good luck all~

did another 4k session today, been putting in a lot of hands over the last 4 days. Again, right at the end of the session come the coolers/bad beats, i guess its becuase once i lose a few in a short space of time i decide to quit incase of tilt, so thats why they appear at the end of my sessions.

Anyway earnt another 1100 FPP today which is great, means i only have 500 left for goldstar, which is what i wanted to get by the end of the month, so im ready for a mass poker month in june. Going to aim for platinumstar in june. Should be achievable if i get goldstar this month. Might start 8 tabling instead of only 6 in june too. We'll see.

Graph+results of the last 4 days:



winrate is pretty low but ill be happy to sustain it over the next 12k hands too.

This time it was a slightly better one.

6 tabled some 6max, mix of fast/normal tables. Had some sick sick cooler/suckouts towards the end, standard shit really, my 34 vs AK on K34 flop, river comes K g_G

Also anyone notice how its always the donks who hit sets against your overpairs? I can fold an overpair to a nit but against a guy whos prepared to go allin on just top pair its kinda -ev to fold imo.

Been racking up the FPP's since i moved to stars a few days ago. Made it silverstar and now im 1200 away from goldstar too only. So ill get goldstar this month and then maybe if i put the hands in next month i can hit platinum star! Thats the goal anyway, should be achievable considering ive got like 1500 a day in these mammoth sessions.

Been playing some donkaments, made the low-money a couple times but mostly losing near the bubble. Kinda run bad in tournaments mostly but oh well they are quite fun and i need to improve my game there too.

anyway enuff of the whine more of the greeeeen numberrrrssss and a graph!
