now that it's summer and I don't have anything else to do except work, I've been playing about 1k hands a day. I'm back at nl10, feeling good and hoping to be at nl25 within a month or so. don't think that's too lofty of a goal. been working 6am to 2:30pm on weekdays and 5am to 9am on weekends. I feel really pathetic going to bed at like 11 at the latest every night, but I'm making good money maintaining the golf course. anyway, I have a couple hands that I could use some advice on. figured I'd put them in here rather than flood the forums.

I never know what to do when I've been betting overpairs down multiple streets and then a higher card hits on the river. maybe I overplay them too much.

similarly, I feel like I overvalue top pair too much. I didn't know what to do in this hand either

I don't know how to make this show up in here, but http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/450396

was fooling around nl5 with my friend and ran into that shortstacker. probably not played the greatest but I thought it was funny anyway. the guy took it like a champ.

I'm graduating high school in two weeks and I'm pretty pumped about that. found a summer job with the county park system mowing a golf course everyday 6am-12, so I'll be nitting it up this summer but at least I'll be making decent money. I'd like to get in like 3k hands a day too, haven't had much opportunity to play during the school year. excited for college already next year

I've come to the realization that I suck at poker... pretty badly. a few weeks ago my br was pushing 350+, and now I'm back to nl5 after a massive downswing. I'd like to say it's due to bad beats, coolers, etc.. but I also know I have a lot of leaks that need to be fixed. if another microstakes player wants to discuss hands or sweat me, send me a pm.. I really want to get better at this game.

on a better note, I finally decided where I'm going to college next year. I'm going to hamilton which was one of my top choices and I know I'll have fun there. besides, turning stone is only a half hour away

well I took about two months off from poker. school got pretty hectic and I on a downswing in the hu sngs. I think I'm going to play it pretty safe now and stick to cash games where the variance isn't quite so high. after about a week of grinding nl2 I tried nl5(both 6 max), here are the results from my very short session tonight.



I don't know if my VPIP or anything is really nitty for 6 max, but maybe you guys can give me some pointers since I don't know too much about cash. it's my spring break, so I'll probably have a lot more time to grind. hope to see you all in the hand forums, I'm liking cash games a lot

woke up, walked the dog, cross country skied a solid 15 miles, got laid, played starcraft and 10 hu sngs. won 8/10 of them, got two outed the last one but that's alright cause I still made a nice profit. I wish pokerstars had hu cash games at lower limits, I would crush those. it'll be a while before I'm at nl50 :[

1. new years is a joke of a holiday
2. don't play heads up drunk
3. don't play out of your bankroll
4. play chess drunk, it's so much more fun
5. don't make comments about your best friend's girlfriend's tits in front of everyone
6. that's all I can think of for now

heading back home to wisconsin tomorrow. I'm finally sobered up now

I'm fairly new to lp, haven't posted much but I've lurked around for some time. like most, my friends from sc introduced me to poker. I didn't become serious about it until a couple months ago really. I've dabbled in pretty much everything, but decided I'm going to keep trying heads up. I went 12/14 out of the sngs I played today, which I think is a good sign. the players are weak and I find it pretty enjoyable. anyway, just figured I would introduce myself.
