Nice start to May
SmokingDough, May 01 2009
I had a pretty solid day at the tables today. Always nice to start the month off with a win. I played a lot of full rign today and it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part and didnt end up in many tricky spots. I played about 3k hands and made $54. ID say 80% NL10 and 20% NL25. The NL25 games are terrible on UltimateBet and theres never anymore then like 9 tables going which sucks cock because they always have a fucking waiting list. So I settle for the NL10 fish which are always plentyful so I guess its not so bad.
At one point in the day the there was no real good tables going on and the wait lists were huge so I decided to play a bit of HU. Ive had some decent results at HU. It would be interesting to see my graph lifetime heads up. Im pretty sure Im in the green by a lot. But anyways I got a decent fish to play against and things were going pretty good. and I was making SICK calls on this guy. He was stabbing at pots all the time and I looked him up a few times and was right. Then we played one big hand where he rivered a full house on me and he was pretty much even. I wanna say It was a good call in its own way becasue he 2 outted me on the river but he had the best hand so I guess it was a bad call?. I think 99% of the time vs that guy Im good there. But yea... Bum hunting at HU is probably the most profitable poker game I think so Im going to be looking to play a bit more here and there but my main focus of course will be full ring.
Here is my graph for the day:
Very happy with toady and the last few days obviously. I played a tournament today and did pretty well too. There was 400 ppl in it and I came 25th for a whopping $20. SHIP IT! lol. I ended up getting it all in with AK, buddy with a monster stack called me with K10, Flop K104 GG. Woulda played it the same way so cant complain there either.
Tonight Im going to a kegger that a buddy of mine from class is holding. Should be pretty good. Hopefully I can meet some new people and maybe wheel a brod or something ahaha. Im probably going to end up going to meet with some of my buddies at a bar or something but Ill be pre drinking at the kegger lol. Hopefully its sick and then I dont have to go to the bar and spend money lol.
Anyways Im gonna go get ready for tonight.
Cheers guys,

School is out... Time to Grind. + April.
SmokingDough, Apr 30 2009
I wrote my last exam last night and it went alright. I was pretty happy going into exams this semester because there was no way I could fail any classes going into them so I wasnt sweating it as much this time around... I like that feeling lol.
But now that Im done school I have A LOT of free time on my hands. I dont have a job right now and dont really want to get one so Im going to play a shit ton of poker to make up for this and hopefully get some great results along the way. So the goal is to play atleast 4+ hrs everyday. I should be able to do this no problem. I will for sure be taking breaks during this time and stopping when the tables are no long good. Bum hunting ftw.. lol.
April was a fuckin headache for me. I was on pace for having my bes tmonth ever but then I got pwned by variance and went on a big downer which was not fun at all. I think I ploayed pretty well through it though and things could of gotten a lot worse. I guess I cant complain that much because I still ahd a pretty great month but it really should have been A LOT better.
Heres my graph for cashgames:
+ $495 Cash games
+ $175 Torunies
+ $200 Rakeback
So book the $870 month. Pretty decent considering the downer but I for sure would have past the 1k month which would have been my biggest winning month in poker ever! Cmon MAY!
Recently Ive been playing a lot of Full ring poker. I had a friend who plays higher then I do and always told me I should focus on playing Fullring because its a pretty easy game with low variance. I decided to take his advice and try it out. So far my results have been pretty good and Im enjoying myself. The problem is the site I play on never has more then 10+ FR games going at the level I play at so sometimes I have to play in the lower games which I dont have a problem with either. Hopefully this change goes well.
Cant really think of much more to write.
Cheers Everyone

Today was fucked up lol. I lost a few big pots right away in the session and found myself stuck 4 buyins. I was thinking fuck this is going to be a long day agian lol. I ended up 15 tabling it for the rest of the day and managed to make a decnet profit for the day. Pretty nice upswing to get out of the red. I wish I started swinging up and stayed up lol.
Heres todays graph:
Hopefully I can take this fuckin tourney down Im in right now. Would be sick!.

Is it worth it for me to become a FR nit?
SmokingDough, Apr 20 2009
What up guys. I got a quick question for you here. I see a lot of the crazy multi tablers playing fullring and doing pretty well. Id imagine they make a killing in rakeback/bonuses too.
I currently play 6-9 tables of 6 max and I mix it up if the FR tables are good too. Im doing alright but I think if I played fullring I could play 12-16 tables which would allow for a lot of hands to get in etc.
Im just wondering what the benefits of both ares o can you guys help me out?
A pretty solid day

First off anyone played the new NHL Arcade game on 360? Its sick lol. I OWN at it. If anyone wants to play me in it pm me here and we can make a match. Maybe a little wager on it? Ok onto poker:
I had a really good day at the tables today. Ive been working on a few things in my game lately and so far its been working out and it showed today. It started off a little bit rough and KK was not my friend at all today. Out of my top 10 loisng hands today 6 of them were while holding pockey kings. Shittaay.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/675304
I knew I wasnt playing bad or anything so I didnt let it affect me and I kept diggin away. After a little while things started to really turn around for me and I managed to get up just over 2 BI's.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/675307
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/675308 <--- yay I won with KK :D
I took a break and made some dinner. While I was eating I was watching Urindanger play Gus HU at PLO. Those games are crazy man I dont know if I could handle the swings PLO brings. These guys really seem to think Gus is a huge fish and sometimes I believe it lol. When Gus is running hot watch out. I think Urin got the best of him today though it was pretty entertaining. I saw a crazy sick 241k pot earlier too with Benyamine got his nut flush cracked by a str8 flush. GROSS.
After dinner and watching all this Heads up I felt like playing some heads up too and did just that. Im glad I did. I had a massive fish at my table which was great. He was just spewing at everything and always betting over pot. It was so easy to trap this guy it was rediculous. I eventually got the best of him and made just about 2 BI's before I think I cleaned out his account. The best part was he was telling me how terrible I was etc. etc. I will for sure be looking for him in the future.

It definitly was a great day at the tables. I played really well and a bit more patient then usual which is what I think made the difference on the day. Heres the graph:
I didnt really have any plans tonight and no one was doign anything because it seems like everyone around here except me has exams/already done exams and gone home. I was bored and saw a pretty decent tourney getting started so I decided to paly in it. It was a 4k garunteed 6 max tourney. Ive been doing really well in these 6 max tourneys on UB lately and I did pretty well again tonight. I managed to come 18th for $40 woooo lol. I played pretty well and just ran out of time. I ended up running my 1010 into AA. GG lol.
So a $150 day for me. Im pretty happy about it. Tomorrow I got a shitton of school work to do which sucks so Im not sure how much Im going to play. I want to get some hands in but who knows.
Gonna blaze and go to bed.

April Update
SmokingDough, Apr 17 2009
I was just going over some hands and I decided to do a post about how things are going pokerwise.
I got in about 10k hands really fast at NL10 and did alright. I was fucking around a bit but still did well. I was getting so fucking bored of NL10 and one night I won a satellite to the big Sunday tournament on UB. I said fuck it and took the monies so I could get back to NL25 and tell NL10 to suck it.
Nl25 has been going very well so far but I find myself making a lot of terrible calls on the river the last few days and its really making things harder on me then they should be. Most of these hands are sets or big pairs and I just have trouble laying them down when I know that Im beat but I still make that stupid call just so I can see something I already know. I would be up WAY more this month if I could stop that shit. Im workin on it.
I was hoping to get in 40k hands by the end of the month which I think will be easily reachable still. I plan on putting in a ton of hands the next few weeks so I can have a healthy rakeback payment heading my way and possibly moe up to NL50. Im undecided what I want to do when it comes to moving up. Im pretty sure I can beat NL50 but Im just not sure if Im ready for it yet. Originally I was planning on moving up to NL25 after I get in 100k hands at NL25 and see how she goes or when I get my roll to $1500. I want to have a very comfy roll from now on because it can be stressful when you are considering a move down. I will for sure be very close to $1500 at the end of the month with rakeback but I think Im just going to cash out my rakeback earning so I have some extra money kicking around and just grind up to $1500 playing. Once I get to $1500 through strictly winnings then I will move up. Who knows tho Im still undecided becasue the money I can be making up at NL50 is nice.... hmmmm.
Alrigt so some hands here... fml lol.
LOSERS
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674717
This is my worst hand of the month. Its vs a reg at my game and I should have known this deep that he is not re raising that big with anything other then the straight. I dont really know what I was thinking but I mean Im pretty sure all I was thinking was OMG I HIT A SET OMGOMG but really it was the worst card for me. This is an example of what I was talking about early about bad calls. I mean I do have the re draw for the boat but for the amount of money it was going to cost me to get there I think this was a fold on the turn sadly.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674718
This one just sucks. I read the player to my right perfectly. I knew he was making this raise with top pair so I figured I was good and would isolate him to myself. To bad buddy flopped the straight.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674720
I really hated this one. It went down today and all I can remember was saying this guy has AK I should just fold. Sure enough...
Those hands are what are killing me lately. Half the time the initial read I make is dead on... I just cant talk myself out of it lately lol. But anyways its a pretty easy fix imo so after I make it I will crush :D
Going to roll a joint and go joint to roomies at a baunfire.
Cheers
