Try

Just played a very bad session. I was totaly on yesterday. I was making huge calls, like 50bb with middle pair. Laying sets to striaghts ect. Today I played bad I just felt off the whole session.

3 hands that stay on my mind that I played terrible are below. I'm really mad I can't use pokertracker on Cake.


1. 99 flop came KK2, I bluffed a guy had K4o. I thought I was good because I raised preflop and he was donk as hell. I got suckered out of 25.00.
2. AQ floped an A. And I led the betting all the way to 5th street, losing 40.00 to AK.

I know why I lost these Just playing dumb but ...
The only hand I don't know how to play is QQ vs Unknown range. Example I'm playing 9 tables vs unknown player that has a 2 buy in stack.

He limped for .20. I made it 1.00 to go. He raise to 2.00. I raise all in for 22.00. The second he called I KNEW AA but to late. Should I have layed this? or just called and looked at flop for a set?

Spent some time playing catch up. Got paid off for sets. Ended session up 79.00 $, with 71 rake I'm at 750ish. It bothers me losing to stupid hands more then getting bad beats because I bad beat myself.

So I'm driving home through the country from visiting family. It looked like a bum running across the street with cleets on. Then another now I'm close enough to realize its a deer, it looked at me. I couldn't stop, I was going 60mph. I saw my life flash before my eyes..."I was griding pennies"....

To my surprise nothing happened to my car. But my labtop had the connection card in it and it broke it. I have to tape it up and to the left and then to the screen to make it work. Its so ghetto. If it breaks I won't be able to play, I just bought it and I didn't opt for insurance because I make smart decisions like this all the time.

Its really wierd instead of playing 1 session I play like 2-4 small ones that last less then 1 hour.

I just got on with my ghetto card and won 6 buy in's. Still running good, I'm really hoping to hit 50nl by Jan13.

I bought 20.00 earned 100.00. sb had 80.00. He raised 1.00 I called with 66. Flop 6c10hAd
I raised pot sized which was 5.00. I didn't bother mentioning what the shortstacks, because I ignore them. but they folded here. So my man calls.
Turn is 4c. I shove all in, he calls and shows his 7c 3c. River was a Kc. I was so happy for him. He made a great call 55.00 with 1:10 odds.
Gj bro.

Overall session up 20.00 /

dec 23rd: I started to 10 table. 3 hands at same time dif tables. These were the first hands I was dealt. I was like oh nice good hands but all 3 lost at the same time.
AA lost to JJ. AK lost to AQ. KK to AA. down 3 buy ins nice!

dec 24th: while watching some boring black and white christmas movie with my gf. Played 4 tables on my labtop won 50.00.

dec 25th: coudln't sleep, played only like 30 hands got real lucky won 60.00. bankroll 400.00

dec 26th: today tryed .10 .20 for first time, and I must say I love 20 NL. The players are so much worse and 10x easier to read. Won 125.00 today. So happy and I got a gold card on cake.

Still focusing on rakeback and deposit bonus and incentives. However at this limit it doesn't seem like rakeback is that important now.


Question of the day: Using Player Points: Any Site
A. Save them for cool prizes.
B. Use them for freerolls.

I'm Jim, Was really good to see the blogs of some old friends from starcraft aka ("people that owned me"). I messed around with poker before, but after finding this site and reading... This time I'm going to do it the right way and follow good br management.

I bought in early this month to Cake with 100. The rake REALLY helps build bankroll not to mention the deposit bonus.
Basically my mentality is just to earn rake and if I happen to win even better. This is good for me because it keeps me from being
to aggressive.

I tryed .02 .04 and it sucked! I couldn't take it. At first I got REALLY mad when I would lose AA to something like 74o preflop all in. Then I figured, If my only losses are to suckouts, then I must be getting $ in when I should. I am one of those kids that can't deal with tilt whatsoever, so FOR EVERY bad beat I take a break or go to the gym or w/e. This really seems to work for me.

I got back on, using standard bankroll management. (20 buy in). I started playing short stack grinding 6-10 tables at .05 .10.


I'm up to 600.00 in just 2-3 weeks nice! Im really happy, I did something really stupid thou, I cashed out 200.00 for extra money to buy christmas presents so I'm still on .05 .10 oh well.

I wanted to post my progress via pokertracker but it doesn't work on Cake, as soon as I drain the remainder of my deposit bonus I'm switching to another site. Prima or Stars.


PS: Never give up, I really sucked when I started. Bad bankroll management, and way to aggressive. I'm not even going to tell you my fulltilt poker name on pokershark I have a fish icon... Lets leave it at that.
Practice is all anything takes, thats why starcraft players on this site are so good.
