Migore Poker Blog

Last post I said that i wasn’t going to make a big deal about poker, and it’s working out fine. When I take things too serius, my performance is worse then when I don’t. I already noticed that in other things, like soccer, studies, but now I have numbers and it’s more convincing. Maybe I’m just in a good run, I had others, but I think I'm slowly improving. I think it happens because when I take things serius, my expectations on my performance increase more then the performance itself, consequently, I get frustrated, then, the psicological factor becomes a trouble.

I’ll try to keep my expectations real, if it’s too high I’ll get frustrated, and if it’s too low I’ll not play hard enough. I have a little bit more experience now in poker and I think I have some base to create my expectations, so I can play my A game.

Didn’t played so much this week due to college stuff. My BR is +- 80.

Some hands:

1- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/174140
Almost folded in the turn, thought of 66. Don't know if any other hand would play like that.

2- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/174132
That was close...

Don't know if PF is a call.

When I started to play poker I though “hmmm, poker, mooneys”. Well… no mooneys yet. I had the ideia that was just play many hands, very tight, that money would como some day, it’s not like that. I think I have a judgemental problem, since I can’t evaluate when I have the best hand and everybody in this site say that poker is easy. Reading post saying it’s easy make me feel very dumb and incapable.

I’ll stop making a big deal about poker, I like to play this shit, I’ll keep playing, one day I’ll start making money. I’ll focus on learning, NL5 is not a great place to lear but it’s all I have in the moment. I’ll try to post more hands in the hand discussion forum, I don’t post there too much because I’m not a good player so I can’t give good advices, and I feel embarassed topost hands there because I guess that they are probably standard hands for everyone.

I allowed my friend (the one I already mentioned in this blog) to plays 10 bucks because he always say that it’s easy and stuff. The results? He lost 25 dolars in less than 5 minutes. I didn’t mind since I was depressed because of my losses.

From now on this blog is all about learning and improving, not whining.

I'm doing better in the last few days, read some poker articles and I'm starting to figure out this game.

I've been playing 3 table, but I came up with a system. One table for every $20 in my BR, I'm close to 80, so tomorrow I'll probably play 4 tables. I need to play more tables because I get bored playing only 3 tables, and I start to read LP.net and not pay full attention to the game.

I've been playing short stacked becuz of my bad run of last weekend, don't know why but i guess I play more calm when I play shortstacked, at least after I lose some money.

Here are some hands to see my sick skills
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/163917
Don't fold KK pre flop!! It happens, standard I guess.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/163914
Thx KingKory for the tips. By the way, what PSB means?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/163893
Lots of outs, 21 i guess. (Shove here is +EV?)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/163451
SICK READ!!! Ok, I admit, I didn't raised river becuz i thought he had a flush. (Yeah, I'm aware that FullHouse > Flus)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/163315
Fayth said to raise here, he is a lot better than me, but I jsut don't feel confortable with the idea yet, I mean, I fold almost every time whe a Q, K or A come in the board.

Didn't lost so much comparing to the downswing from 115 to 75 in 2 days =/

Don't really know what's wrong, I've been playing tight, hands just don't come. Maybe I'm cursed or something

My goal for today was to play 1000 hands. Did it! \o/

But I lost 5 buy-ins.

Next goal: Play 1000 hands/day and at least break even.

If u don't want to read whinning u should stop reading this news now.

Damnit, cards didn't come, and when i have pocket Aces people just didn't call. So what happens? Being the fucktard that I am, I start to play weaker hands... well, we know the results of these actions.

Just some minutes ago i got pocket aces, not significant board cards came in the flop, so I lagged a bit and I went All-In in the turn. Result: the retarded player made a straight, he had 36o, WHO THE FUCK CALL A PF RAISE WITH THAT?

Coudn’t acess LP.net here in my house, don’t know why, but after one week i had a genius idea! Use proxy! And here I am.

Hit 110 again a few days ago, but the i went back to 95 in the next day, I’m really have a problem with 110... second time that i have a drawdown when I hit it. Think I get excited or something, I don’t really know, nervous maybe. Because generally, I guess I have a Ok game (even though I don’t really know what that means, lol), from now on, I’ll try to be cool and my bad luck number is 110.

I really need to increase the number of hands/day, I play like 400 hands/day in the last few days. The number is increasing slowly...

Here is my graph since january 27th.



Excel FTW! \o/

Hope i can pass 110 this time

I've been saving some hands in notepad to post here, but I was submiting tha hands and I'm too lazy too put them all here. I chose just some hands that I liked or disliked

1- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/157995
Flopped quads, no one bets, hate when it happens.

2- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/158894
Flopped quads again, Guess I should have raised turn.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/158909
Didn't realized he had a draw here, but if river was a diamond I would probably fold.

3- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/158905
Dammit!

4- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/158899
Sick read! LOL

5- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/158895
Dunno... No comments

Numbered the hands in case u want to say something like "WTF at hand # man, u stupid, quit poker, quit life" or something.

The ones who missed me say "Stab him", guess it's no one. =(

Anyway, I'm back posting my stupid hands and learning poker.

Need to regain my confidence now! Not too fast, or i’ll have another bad run. T_T

Missclick!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/154249

I hate those pop-up poker table of partypoker, I was going to click in a hand to see it while i was playing, and the poker table poped-up just a bit before i click... and i called.
Best missclick ever! My bad run officialy ended in that hand! =D

Doubt hand of the day
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/154658

I really want to know what he had... The good thing is that TalentedTom gave me an advice!!

My BR is around 96 now, i really need to play more hands/day, since sunday, I played like 500 hands only.

My friend keep saying to me to play in higher limit tables, but i say that I play in these lower tables becuz of BR management, and then he says i'm scared and calls me a pussy. T_T
