New Year Starting Well
deahttubb, Jan 01 2010
I decided to give some $24 + 2 games a shot on FTP today. So I entered a 90 man bounty sng as well as a $75 token 9 person sit n go.
I wanted third in the 9 man and got that.-- $66
and then came in third in the 90 man.-- $252 plus bounties.
This is a good score for me. Good luck Everyone!
Poker Math Help?
deahttubb, Dec 16 2009
My last shot has been pretty bad, but I cleared a bonus and have moved my BR up a good amount.
I am taking a few days off and will then start getting back into NL 25.
I have been interested in learning more about the math behind poker, can anybody help me find some articles that range from beginner to advanced. I'm sure i'll pick the theory and math up pretty quickly.
Thanks
One Last Shot.

I planned on playing like 40K hands this month and only put in about 7,500. School work has been insane but winter break is coming in a few weeks. These next 2 months will be my last shot at getting back up to NL 50 again. If I do not succeed, I will stick to just messing around with poker and not taking it too seriously, just a hobby.
Overall my plan will be to play 2 2-3 hour sessions a day. This will include playing and then immediately reviewing my session to see what I did that worked or what was helping me suck. I don't plan on using a stop loss. This is because I tend to play what I have been told is a very high variance form of poker and I plan on toning that down.
I plan on playing 4-6 tables of NL 5 to get back into the poker mindset, then if that goes well I will increase tables as long as I feel I am still playing well.
Once I hit 20 buy-ins for NL 10 I will play 4 tables 6 max and to once again see how it goes.
With the 2 above limits I will probably play some small guarantee tournaments just to keep from getting bored with one type of game. This will also include PLO 10, that has been a good wind down game for me recently.
I would like to play NL 25 once I hit $550, that way I will have been playing well or one a nice heater. I plan on playing 6 max NL 25 to ultimately get up to NL 50.
The next 3 weeks are going to be pretty busy with finals so my plan will begin around mid December when I get home.
If anybody out there wants to exchange MSNs and talk poker, PM me and hopefully we can help each other out or whatever.
Goodluck and thanks for reading.
Starting over.
deahttubb, Oct 24 2009
I started this month with the goal of playing a good amount of hands and moving up to NL 25. I got bored and decided to move up before i had the number of buy ins that i wanted. At first it went well but that quickly changed.
I now plan on starting back at NL 5 and I want to play around 10,000 hands with discipline to see if I really should be playing cards.
If any other micro players want to exchange MSNs and discuss hands or other poker stuff send me a PM.
It's weird but I'm almost happy this happened. I am now going to play only the games I am rolled for, only play when I really want to and I want to get some real progress, not just play to get my FTP bonus and Iron Man for the month.
SO hopefully I will be back up at NL 25 at the end of next month.
I also have a $26 token from FTP and was wondering what tournaments are generally the best/softest to play.
Thanks.
September
deahttubb, Oct 01 2009
Didn't really play much this month. I played NL5 and NL 10 later on in the month. I am still trying to figure NL 10 out, I had a pretty swingy month but I think I learned a decent amount.
NL 5
+ Show Spoiler +
Still working on my redline but it wasn't too bad
Still trying to work on discipline so I can lower my VPIP a little bit.
NL 10
+ Show Spoiler +
lol. I kinda got bored and tried to add more tables and I obviously couldn't handle it. I gotta work on calling less/continuing with crap trying to steal the pot.
I tried to start playing more from the blinds but i overdid it.
Once again, still trying to work on my VPIP and pick better spots to raise/3bet pf
Any input is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks and goodluck.
September so far
deahttubb, Sep 09 2009
After messing around with stats last month I am on my way to getting the stats I like while still being able to actually play and not focus on making it happen.
I ended up cruising through NL 5 once I figured out how I wanted to play. So now I have started to play NL 10. I am still trying to see what works in NL 10.
My position stats have also improved since this new game plan.
I have seen the term squeeze used often and I understand it to be raising in order to get a third person to get into the pot. Is this close to what is means. Can anybody help clarify this term?
Thanks and goodluck.
Past Month
deahttubb, Sep 03 2009
I started the month with about a $110 downswing so I decided to take August and try to really try to work out kinks in my game and not just try to play a certain amount of hands and not think everything through. I played NL 5 trying new things every week in order to get enough hands in to see if what i was doing would work or not.
Near the end of the month I got my stats to be closer to what I feel comfortable playing, although the stats are not reflected in the screen shot with the NL5 stats. I also worked on how to play what form each position and found out what works once again. I feel very comfortable coming into September with my game plan and the results should be good this month and I would like to be at NL 25 pretty soon.
Hello August
deahttubb, Aug 06 2009
Lol, had a pretty good month of poker in July. I start August and it seemed to be normal but then i had a few bad beats and once those hit they never stopped. I have been trying to make a few changes to my game through more/less tables and that is probably a big part of why this is happening. Hopefully it'll end soon.
July
deahttubb, Aug 04 2009
July went pretty well, I started out playing 2.25 Sit N Go's on FTP and got up to about $130 pretty quickly and then went back to NL5, got bored and used aggressive br management and jumped to NL 10 and my month went pretty well.
Any insight,opinions or anything you want to say will be appreciated.
My redline took off after I started attempting to play about 8 tables. Gotta work on that this month.
Hands I had questions about.
+ Show Spoiler +
Villain was playing super loose and aggressive during the session. Is this river an easy fold when the K hits?
Submitted by :
I wasn't too sure about villain's hand here. I thought either a straight/flush draw but the flush draw was played a little different than i was used to seeing. After the check do you think my check is good or would another bet been good?
Submitted by :
Do you like the bet sizing and calls? The hand worked out, just want to make sure I don't butcher these hands.
Submitted by :
Do you like another bet on the river or just check it down? I didn't think he hit the flush on the turn but wasn't too sure about the river.
Submitted by :
I thought about reraising the flop but for some reason I didn't( first problem) Do you like the size of my river bet and ignore the fact that I called, it was pretty dumb looking back.
Submitted by :
Just a set up or could I have gotten away from this hand?
Submitted by :
LOL misclick. Villain was supper aggressive and bet nearly everything but folded to most bets. My plan worked except for my sweet fold.

Thanks.
Recent Progress
deahttubb, Jul 08 2009
I have been playing the $2 single table, 18 man and 27 man tournaments and have been doing well recently. My sharkscope says I am still about $130 from sit n go's which is true, mostly from tilt Omaha games and when I hadn't really figured sit n go's out.
What statistics should I be reviewing with PT3 after my sessions? What type of bankroll guidelines are people using? ( I currently have about 65 buy ins for this limit and I think my next limit is going to be the $6 turbo SnG's)
Thanks and Goodluck.
