Poker Updates

Just now got PT3 above $1k since July 1st, so its a good feeling, very happy with the grinding thats paid off so far. All i need to do now is master 25nl, which im up 5BIs this month, so im slowly going to make it into the green eventually. If i can do that then 50nl within 2 months, i'd be very confident with my position and may try and quit part-time job to just focus 6-10 hours a day, which would probably get me SuperNova, but 1 step at a time right?

First step has been made

[X] $1,000
[] $5,000
[] $10,000
[] $25,000
[] $100,000

So far so good this month, happy with my progress. Deffinately not as hard as i thought the last few blogposts, just need good table selection to makesure im not with a table full of nits.

I think i deffinately missplayed a few hands and missed value which im sure is hurting my winrate a little, but if you can comment on the hands i lost big on. Then im sure i will improve, thanks all!



Think i played this hand like a pussy on the turn, shoulda bet pot, and his river raise i should have just called, but i was putting him on AK or a lower flush which is why i pushed. I'll learn to just call a raise when flush comes on paired board.

This was a mix of a cooler and maybe missplayed by me. We had some history of raising eachother, and i thought he either had AJ or TT (if he 3bet me light which was possible) or had AK AQ and completely missed, in which case i shoulda called for him to lead turn again.

+ Show Spoiler +

Think i played this fine, went into check-call mode after the raise to minimize potential losses if i was behind.

+ Show Spoiler +

Should i have value bet smaller to force a call? Or was my shove correct in him maybe having a smaller fullhouse or maybe calling with the flush? I feel i missed value here.

November i got my best month since i restarted poker back in July, it has been depressing grinding microstakes, and i keep playing different limits to stop me from getting bored.

Now that i'm fully rolled for NL25, i will try and overcome the downswing i encountered last month. For some reason i am alot more comfortable on NL50 as i said in the last blogpost.

Just need to put in a big amount of hands before/after work if i ever want to move back upto atleast 100nl 6-max, which i have never properly been rolled for.

Btw, thanks to the people who put their names forward with their MSN to talk poker etc, its keeping me motivated to keep playing. Trying to avoid WoW as much as possible to focus on poker.

Wish me luck!

My Fucking God,

Ever since i restarted playing back in July seriously after work(i cashed out my roll xmas last year). I have been unable to get back up and past 25nl, this shit is rediculous. Every fucking time i moved up, i get knocked back down due to fucking coolers or suckouts when im 85% or more favourite.

Yes i may have some leaks to my game, and could have found some hard folds but most of my play has been fine.

Just really tilted and frustrated right now, thinking about getting upto $1k then moving straight up to 50nl. I hate 25nl with a passion. I'm not worried about moving down at all it shouldnt take long to get back up i guess...

Todays session has been somewhat frustrating... But still up so i dont mind too much. Poker has been going decentish lately been playing alot of 25NL and sometimes taking shots at 50NL to see how i'd do, obviously theres barely no change but i'm still not roll'd for it so not going to move yet.

I feel i played good, which is all that matters in the end, regardless of what i'm up or down. Unfortunately i've got alot of hours to work next week so not much room for poker, but i'll keep trying...

Another thing thats pissing me off, i ordered FTP Tournament Guide, and David Sklansky Tourny Advanced over a month ago on FTP and it still hasnt come! .



These were the "Bad Beats":

Also lost a BI with KK vs AA PF, but thats standard and expected... cant really get away from KK in 6max.

Thx for reading, cya!

I havnt been playing much lately due to college and work again... So just incase people thought i busted (again) i havn't! . Been reading alot of David Sklansky - Theory of Poker too, i've had this book for like a year and never even bothered to read it, HUGE MISTAKE.

Played a small session on 25NL today and managed to run pretty good and found some nice spots to squeeze some value from hands. Like i 3bet very light with 5-5 PF 1 hand and actually managed to win it when the board wasnt even higher than a J, as he called my c-bet and tried to steal on river, i called and he had KQss.

But anyways... heres my PT stats for the day, and i will try and post more once something interesting actually happens . Btw i DO NOT play this tight... its the damn sample size... I'm usually around 24/21 over like 4 tables.

Today i've went up 8 buyins which is great, and come 19th in the $1 rebuy out of 435 so that aint too bad, dissappointed i didnt final table, but i got card dead and had to push with KQ vs chipleader who had AT.



Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/237123 <--- deepstacked get set on flop vs his AK top pair
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/237124 <--- flop FH with QQ vs trips.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/237126 <--- flop set over set, QQ vs 22.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/237127 <--- JT 2 pair on flop, maybe shoulda folded vs 3 people but went with it.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/237128 <--- 44 flop set vs guy bluffing with OESD.
