Painful 4.5k hands
k2o4, Dec 11 2008
Win a buyin.
Lose a buyin.
Win a buyin.
Lose a buyin.
That was my session all night long. I somehow came out with a 2 buyin win but it could have been 6 if I'd avoided about 4 huge spews I made. I kept calling vs nits with things like 2pair on a A974 board and a str8 on a board with a flush on it. Vs nits they were definitely folds but I wasn't disciplined enough to do it.
Then I also ran extremely horribly vs donkey shortstacks. I kept getting it in vs them good but they would always hit. It was pretty ridiculous. And obv I had the standard AA and KK getting cracked by worse AIPF. I'm impressed with myself for having a winning session. The old me wouldn't have been able to make up the difference with enough good plays.
The good news is that I got nearly 10k FPP so that gets me closer to my next bonus. Doot.
Anyway, check it out. Swingggyyyy
I did make some good plays though. I'll close this post with my favorite hand of the night:

Lifetime Graph
k2o4, Dec 10 2008
I was messing around in HEM yesterday and decided to look at my lifetime results. When I put my graph into big blinds to get rid of the crazy skew that comes from graphing multiple limits, it came out really pretty. I'm pretty proud of this =)
I had one major downswing as you can see. That was after a seriousssssss heater on NL100 where I took like 50 buyins in 25k hands. Then the downswing came and I began to tilt like crazy. But I recovered and am on a steady upward movement ever since. Woot.
Move Up Run Bad
k2o4, Dec 09 2008
1) Move up
2) Run Bad
3) Rebuild
4) Repeat
That's how life feels right now. I keep doing these 3-4 table risking 1-2 buyin shots @ NL200 and play a few hundred hands of break even poker until I hit a monster and get sucked out on or set up. Standard poker shit but it just sux when it happens during a shot. I go back to NL100 and run really good (no setups, hands hold) and then try NL200 again and nothing but AK with horrible missed boards that I can't cbet and then 44 makes a set and runs into a QQ overset.
Oh well, it has to work out eventually. So till then I will make sure to keep doing steps 1 through 4.
DAMN U WBCOOP

k2o4, Dec 09 2008
They should call it "The reason all the good blog posts get pushed off the front page really quickly and leave us with stupid posts with the SAME FUCKING THING in them OVER AND OVER AGAIN"
So annoying. I'm refusing to play in it just cause of how annoying all these copy/pasted blog posts are.
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
Too many movies
k2o4, Dec 09 2008
I just realized that I have 146 movies on my netflix queue.. and another 50 on my instant queue. wtf. I don't have time to watch all of them. Plus they keep coming out with new movies in the theatres that I want to see. I don't have time or money to go watch em all. So then they go to DVD and end up on my netflix queue and it gets longer and longer. I feel like I need to take a 1-2 month vacation and just focus on watching movies so I can get this damn list down to a manageable size. Cause they're all movies I want to see.
Note to self: become a baller so that you can take a 2 month movie watching vacation.
That's all for now.
Back to 4k
k2o4, Dec 07 2008
So after the failed NL200 shot I dropped down to $2,300. This weekend went well and I recovered to 4k. I won 5 BI today @ NL100 but lost 1 BI trying some NL200. I only played 300 hands of NL200 and was break even the entire time till the very end where I made a set with TT on a TQ2 board and got it in on the flop vs AK which hit a str8 on the river. I quit quickly cause I didn't want to tilt and went back to NL100. Ended the day sitting exactly @ 4k.
I'm not gonna do anymore NL200 till I can do it in a live session with my coach. Wanna do it right this time. After I do a NL200 session with my coach I'm gonna take it slow and whenever the tables aren't good I will stick to NL100. But whenever they are ripe or when I'm doing a session with my coach I'm gonna focus on NL200 unless I drop to 3.5k. And I'm gonna be very careful about tilt, cause it costs SOOOO much right now so I can't afford to tilt at all, not even a little bit.
Anyway here's the weekend results:
The Real Recovery
k2o4, Dec 07 2008
That 9 BI win the other day wasn't real. That was a fake recovery. I think this is the real one.
Today was awesome. I ran pretty well but also feel really good about how I played, that I wasn't relying on suckouts to pad my win. Got it in as a 70% + favorite nearly every time. I also hunted down a bunch of donks who literally gave me their money... I mean shoving the flop with middle pair bottom kicker type of shit like wat this guy did:
+ Show Spoiler +
I made 2 mistakes which I'm not happy about in big pots, but otherwise am very happy with my moves. I definitely played solid winning poker sticking closer to 8 tables than I usually do on a Saturday night. Had a few moments with 12 tables going but I tried to close some down quickly I was around 8-10. I ran good in the sense that I hit a lot of hands and had moronic donks who would pay EVERYTHING off. Found one maniac playing 70/50 with a 56% Aggr Freq and 30% 3bet. He played every hand like it was the nuts and it was easy to induce shoves preflop and bluffs on every street from him. I Left that table after stacking him a bunch and I was sitting on $500.
Picture time:
Today:
Everything since Wednesday when I had the 9 BI session:
14 Bi days are nice. heh. I wish I had more of them! So now I'm sitting at $3,900. Figure I will consider a NL200 shot tomorrow if things are still going well and I see some loose tables or super donks. Otherwise I'll just keep grinding NL100. I want to do at least 2 sessions tomorrow, hopefully 3. I am also 300 VPP away from clearing another $650 bonus which I need for xmas expenses. Should clear it tomorrow which is great. Then I will be saving FPP till I hit 100k so I can buy a $1,500 bonus now that I'm not in such a money crunch anymore and can afford to wait a bit longer.
That's all for now!
Best 5 Bi Loss Ever
k2o4, Dec 06 2008
So I sat down last night and played about 500 hands where I managed to play extremely well. Got it in as a huge favorite many times and as a slight favorite a few times. The shitty thing was that I lost basically every hand where I got it in as a favorite, and I didn't get it in behind at all so there were no chances to suck out.
The weird part is that I felt great while playing. I've never felt so happy while losing so much. I kept getting the money in at great spots and would be fist pumping, then I'd lose and be like "oh well". Eventually I figured I better quit though cause I've never run so horribly bad before in my life, and it seemed like PS was just telling me that I wasn't supposed to be playing poker. I guess this is what a doomswitch feels like.
So I guess the downswing is officially here. On Thursday night I had a several thousand hand session where I was breaking even, then I got it in 3BI deep with AK on a KRR two suited board vs a mega 80/50 fish and he made a flush on the river with J9s, no pair. So that turned a break even session into a 3BI loss when it should have turned into a 3 BI win. Damn. Then add in last night and I've lost everything I earned in my fun "Recovery begins" session, hehe. Let's just hope this is a short downswing.
Rebuilding Begins
k2o4, Dec 04 2008
Well it started last night with 1 bad session that I quit quickly and lost a little less than 1 BI. Then it really got going today with a coaching session in the morning, a break evenish session in the afternoon and a nice win in the evening. 3 session days r thx. Also excited to clear this $650 bonus especially now that echecks are back! So it won't be a 2 week wait once I cash out this time. That will be nice.
Excited to get back to 4k and take another NL200 shot. And this time I'm not going to tilt. Fuck that shit!
I'm sitting at $3,350 so I'm 6.5 buyins shy of another shot. Maybe this weekend will be a good one!
