Oddeye's Chronicles

This month I'm up 20k+3kRB+1kBonus, all from 6max. I just finished my maths and I'm done with school so I've bought a new computer on NCiX.com, I think it came out pretty cheap cause it's a really nice computer. Might have to buy a new fan for my processor to overclock it more.

So for the next month I'll be enjoying summer, working out a lot and playing tons of hands. It's quite likely that I cash out a good amount (50-60k) from UB and either buy a car or put it in savings.

Hope all of you run good.

Since I began playing poker around 1 year ago (where I totally sucked and played penny stakes) I made a pretty nice 100k$ (most my money was made this year actually, which is around 75k$), which drives me insanely happy, thanks to UB and the constant flow of player who have no idea there is strategy in poker. I should also thanks a few people like Fayth, TianYuan, TheTrees (Bishop), F4ZI and of course every player from LP who help me when I needed it on HHs and who still will in the future (many many thanks to every poster in Med/High stakes sections).

I'm pretty happy how the whole thing around poker turned out since May, I have been a bit off my game a few times but managed to put back a steady play every time without monkey tilting too much, which happened quite a few times during March and April. This month is a +15k$ if you include the 2k$ RB.

One thing I will have to seriously consider is moving up in stakes, but most of the times it seems like there is more profit in playing a multitude of 2/4 and 3/6 tables. I don't know if other mid/high stakes players seems to find this true, but my winrate is much higher due to fishes at these stakes than 5/10 (even tho I don't have any definitive amount due to HH crap on UB). Anyway on Ultimate Bet it's not really possible to multi the maximum amount of tables of 5/10 since it's very rare there is more than 5 of these running (max tables is 9).

I just want to say feel free to comment on my HH directly in the "Hands" section at right, also if you think some play aren't justified, do correct me on where I have mistaken and if you need any info on players I will post them by request.

On a life side, I have been offered two jobs after being done with my internship, one being the ministry of revenue where I had my internship, second being at CGI. They were great opportunity and they are not at all lost, I could call any day and get a job which is interesting, but never has interesting has poker. On this I hope you all run good like I did and bank all the money you can.

Hehehe I'm finally done with my internship at the ministry of revenue of Québec and thats just better than any winning day, not that I didn't like the place, hell this was the coolest job I could get probably with the best team. Well its not really done since I'm going to eat smoked meat with them friday. On a poker note, I've not put in many hands during April just due to tiredness and doing some other things at night time, still managed to end up something 7-8k, now my roll is 44k w 1.5k RB. Even if I didn't play much I tried to watch some CR and read a bit on some forums, such as leggopoker which wasn't blocked at my job (pretty much every good site was blocked, not like I had hours to read in the end).

Anyway good luck I'm probably gonna put in much higher volume of hands this month, lets see how this goes!

Yeah was again running terrible lately(last few days) just in terms of card I think the play was rather steady and controlled maybe at a few exception.

But now I'm pretty happy I'm back at 36k in account, also I'm in the 200k sunday since UB gave me free entrance. Last time I was something like 20th in chips rank and lost most AQ vs AQ+66 preflop then went in JJ vs KK and died. Not really sure at what point I busted out but soon before the bubble. Something like 90th. It's not a big deal anyway I'm gonna keep going the best I can until I focus only on poker 5 weeks from now.

Also I'm in a Brian Townsend video which is pretty good I think we play a good amount of hands together but of course I had no idea I was playing him I just got notified later by Fayth and also some people on UB.

For overall March result it's probably something like up 15k over maybe 50k hands, I'm not really satisfied but more to come.

Ok, GL.

Well all I've managed to pull off is a break even and the cashout still didn't work. Kinna in a bad mood due to many bad beats and lot of annoying spot head up where I didn't fold and should have which leads me to tilt more again. Had a very shitty easter break and will be very tired for my next week of work.

I had an huge downswing before and didn't really update, however I managed to make all of it back with some extra. So it really just was a downswing! My roll is almost 70k (had like 51k at some point) and the cash out was finally issued for 40k (so 30k left) that was way too long and annoying to do, they refused my document and failed to receive it countless time but when I sent it by email instead of fax everything worked. Still haven't received it but it should be in by Monday.

I'm soon moving out of my mother's home, I'm looking for a 2 1/2 to a 3 1/2 to live by myself in Ste-Foy, I'd like to be close to the university but I really don't care (Québec city). I however cannot decide or not to give up my internship, it's not that I can't stand it (yes sure I'm annoyed to have to woke up early everyday) but I just don't plan on working in computer science any soon, so it would only be as a back up plan. It's 14$ an hrs versus 100$+ at poker. What do you think again?

Btw, GL at the tables.

Yesterday I ended -8.5k was at 59.5k actually and today I played quite a lot, didn't get too lucky nor bad lucky, got a couple beat probably got lucky a couple of time too. I made it to 57.5k so I made 6.5k today, hopefully I'll just make the rest tomorrow or any day soon. I'm still waiting for my rakeback from January (fuck you UB) and it's like 2.25k and I have 1.5k this month. Looks better now I'm going to stop just there I played enough... waiting until tomorrow night.

Running really bad, like really really really bad. Just had a -4.5k downswing, I'm really tilted and thinking into going to play all 5/10 but I'm taking a break first. My week end is auto screwed fuck poker... Can't believe how many sick suckout I just got pulled off on it's hardly believable. I was pretty focused that whats pisses me off the most, had a pretty good level of aggression and most of the time got it in good but suckout and more suckout.

Had the worst fucking start ever since long, even amongs all my stupidly bad run... just fucking gay, 3.5k this morning... I'm gonna have to play all fucking weekend long and probably wont even be able to break even... on a side note I hit around 10 higher PP vs lower PP who hit set preflop, most were fullstacks.
