huge downswing? lost 15 bi's today, 2k or 3k hands i think.. playing a mix of 100nl and 200nl from now on, for now no regs, have to relieve the pressure from my roll a little. unless i played them in the last few days and have a TON of notes..

don't think i tilted at all. just get raised a lot on the river. maybe i'm laying down a little bit too much on the turn. underestimating what how wide they'll get it in but most of the times im looking up.. it hurts.

probably a standard downswing with a few hundred hands against better opponents mixed in.

ai ai ai this hurts a little. ok back to fighting will make a hands update when i played some more.

ps
shoutout to Staxx - one of the guys who took some off me today, before really downswinging - hey man good match. would like to play again against you when im doing better again. if you feel like it PM me some leaks you think i have

ps2
im not ruling out just getting destroyed by the opposition. i haven't been gameselecting at all. joining regs tables untill they play etc. probably the better % doesnt sitout instantly. maybe a few tables too many.

went through the hands of the last 2 days. i selected some winners and loser based on potsize. so they are a little bit of a random selection.
many were against the same guys though as i played some long cool matches were i got down a lot, sometimes as much as 6 buyins but usually managed to get back to being up or down only 1 or 2.

imo i had an edge on all my opponents but they usually weren't total fish. for example DirkyD has an awfull tableratings but he is not that bad he just works under the Peter principle (i.e he plays 1 or 2 lvl's too high)
RandomCrayon was a fish imo. but a very agressive one with a superhigh variance style. it scared me but i felt the edge was sooo large i had to stay.

DirkyD seemed to be 3betting more then the 16% i have him on in a larger sample. so i started defending more wide. i figured with the draws and the agressive match i should get it in on the turn. in retrospect most of my actions seem a little light and i lost a big pot because of it. let me know what you think about how i played this.

DirkyD gets it all-in with me with bottom2 on a 8910 rainbow board, single raised pot.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765375

DirkyD likes his trips on the turn on a very drawy board. can't really blame him.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765374

DirkyD overbets the river on me. at first i thought he used overbets in a very nice way but ive come to think they are weighted too much to value.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765368

against Randomcrayon. I thought this guy was pretty bad but he got up a ton on me. i remember him as very agressive and not folding to any 3bets and 3betting 90% of hands himself. basicallyl he played everything by 3betting and by calling 3bets. it was amazing to me how i wasnt crushing him just by being a little more selective. there were some sick pots.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765364
here i pay off because it didnt make sense he was very agressive and a K was unlikely. some missed draws obv.

kept going down.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765360

i get down a lot to him.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765362
i floated the flop because my A hi was most likely good and i had some outs and a LOT of implied odds.

he hero calls me down. though i have to say it was more standard behaviour then skill and he payed for it in other spots. this one was hard to swallow though.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765365

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765373

same guy, sick gambler.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765372

i 3bet for value and he basically gets coolered.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765370


to me this was a very sick match. he ran up a $1400 stack on me on one point. almost all of it my money and i was a little tilted. but i had identified what i considered weak spots in the process of losing a bunch and decided to try and play through.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765371

this is one of the hands i regret losing so much on. he was just not agressive and loose enough to put it in here with anything but K10+ and K10 is really the only thing i beat out of a whole range of hands beating or crushing mine.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765359

Spook bluffcatches me
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765367

Etisetna is winning a lot of money off me. i get it in on a drawy board with TPMK.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765366

my AA get cracked against a dutch guy. 175bb deep. oops. don't think i was wrong in putting this in.

my windows crashed a few times. i lost a lot of data which is really annoying.. including handhistories and notes and ofcourse a lot of pictures and music. also means i cant do a monthly graph

my new appartment is getting shaped up a little bit. i also got an office space that i share with other people in the beautifull centre of Amsterdam. it's awesome to get away from grinding in my bedroom.

all the expenses (including very large security deposits) are putting some pressure on the bankroll though. not happy with this development since i would like to increase the BR and be able to take controlled shots at 400nl.
as you might know from experience moving is very taxing and i also took a weak off the grind to chill out in Amsterdam and do some catching up in the reading department. so fewer hands then i would have liked maybe around 50-60k? but the results seem from account balance to have been very reasonable.

on a very cool note: RobertFripp2 (stars 200nl FR grindbeast and now also a HUHERO) is visiting me in Amsterdam from Buenos Aires. i'm going to feed him all the disgusting dutch food i can find and tank the dutch specialty liquors ofcourse hehe)

oh and gororok piss off from my tables and stop 3betting me

They are exciting days right now. Today i signed the lease for my new appartment in Amsterdam. I will move in with 2 girls and 1 guy i don't really know. They seem really cool so far. The appartment is great. It's quite luxurious and in a good location, so i'm very happy with that. Will post pics when i have moved in.

Because of all this and a lot of social stuff; going out with friends to concerts and bars i really haven't played too much poker and it will be a while before ill be able to make up those hours, since moving will require a lot of my attention.

in other news. i thought i had seen Inglorious Bastards and talked about it with quite some people , but it turned out i've seen the 1977 original and not the new tarantino one. so i guess i'll have to rewatch it, hehe. didnt understand why everyone was saying Brad Pitt was in it, figured it was good make-up.. i can really recommend the original though its quite cool.

/september ----> end of month overview. after i guess improving my HU 100nl cashgame alot or running very good. i was ready to move up to 200nl again. 200nl HU was a real bitch to me and i lost quite a lot there, taking shots at different times in the month. i dabbled a little bit in 200nl 6max because you don't get deepstacked as fast as in a HU game and i thought it would be more comfortable moving up. And i had been teaching a friend to move up from 25nl--50nl 6max and it looked fun again.

i hadn't played 6max seriously in a long time and usually don't 4 table it, and it proved to be a very nice experience. maybe i'm just running really good but i decided to play it again the next day, and the next day, and the next day and in the end played almost 30k hands of it.
i love HU and will return to it and will make up my losses at HU 200nl to attain my goal to reach 10bb/100 there but for now padding my BR on 6max is quite nice and i'm enjoying it for the time being (god wish i didnt switch pokergames like very %)*@)*month, but i just love all the different games ( )

as you can see the total for the month and the gains in 6max 200nl are almost equal and that's because even though i crushed 100nl HU on a larger sample. 200nl HU crushed my winning in a small sample
what also took a significant bite out of my winning is my shot at 600nl 6max, but the game was just very good and i got my money in good but it wasnt meant to be and i refrained from risking too much on that shot.
i will continue to look for really good 400nl and 600nl games now and then but don't expect 10k hand there for next month

not reflected in the graph is that i have been "spewing" some in donkaments(WCOOP and other fruitless endeavors) even counting my small $800 4th place in the 50$ 6max i'm considerable amount down on them. if i count my fluke ship of a step5 i'm probably in the + but so far this hasn't been materialized in any real cash.






all in all not too unhappy

so i was just playing some $7 steps on the side of comfortably 4 tabling 200nl 6max and busted out of a couple already when i had to rearrange my tables a bit to be able to watch a cardrunners video when i notice busto_soon at my table..

wtf is busto_soon doing at a $7 sng. and why did no one bust out yet, its been running for 10 minutes at least? OMG FML i did the old accidentally register for a $700 sng...

luckily i started out my poker career destroying the $10 dollar sngs so i have a few thousand games behind my belt and to make a long story short i ship a step 5 obviously!

BUT what the hell do i do with a step6 ticket?????????? guys if i have to play this i'm putting my like 1/4th of my BR on a single SNG

ps: with a very heavy hearth i went to check the sngs i busted out already. luckily they were really 7$ pfff

It's kind of strange to blog about someone else's blog doing parodies about other blogs but eh.. i think this is must read. I took this from Daniel Negreanu's blog. Which you can find here - http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker...ction=showfull&id=1253518751&archive=
He's explaining why he likes Phill Helmuth's blog and what he likes about them. He proceeds to write up a standard Phill Helmuth blog.

I'm in a limo with Dom Perrignon and am texting Michael Phelps about hanging out. I'm Phelps' favorite, he loves me more than his medals. In fact, he told me he'd give me one of his medals if I'd sleep with him, but Phelps is not my type, although a sex tape would probably make me more famous....hmmm? No, wait a minute, I get the ladies baby, they are all over me when I go out. I've been working out and I'm pretty buff so I can see why they just pass out when I walk in a room in my Caesar costume showing off my tiny nipples.

I just landed in LA to do a show and then go to a "VIP" night spot for celebrities and important people, it's not for just regular people. You have to be really, really, cool to get in. I hear Ivey tried to get in, but couldn't. That's probably because I have 11 bracelets and he doesn't. I'm by FAR the best NLH tournament player in the world and it's not even close. Most celebrities and important people know that, I think, and that's why they all want me to hang out with them and give speeches about how amazing I am and stuff. I mean, I have to give the people what they want right?

In fact, I ran into Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the airport and they must have been in awe of me. They walked right by me and didn't say hi or anything. I'm sure they were just trying to respect my privacy, because I get mobbed everywhere I go. They understand what it's like for people like us. You can't have a normal life with paparazzi always hounding you. It's the price you pay I guess...

After the club I'm going to stay at the very best hotel in LA. It's where all the top stars stay so I figured I should also stay there since I'm the greatest poker player in the world.

Oh, and I can't forget to mention every single celebrity I know. I kno how much you guys like hearing me drop some names so I won't disappoint!

People that hung out with me this month:

Shaquille O'Neal, McCauley Caulkin, the guy from that Dove commercial that laughs at the end, Gary Coleman, the back up guitarist for the Beatles, Vanilla Ice, New York (from I Love New York), Scott Baio, Tonya (from the Real World), and oh! almost forgot, Tonya Harding and I are doing an event where we teach kids about sports ettiquette and fair play! I am a great guy and like to "give back" to the people less important than me.
Phil Hellmuth...out.
