Haven't been posting for a while but I was kinda busy and I tried to play as much as I could. Here are my results since the last update:
I'm pwning nl400 but I'm just doomed at nl500. nl600 is going OKish but I'm only playing there if I can find pretty good tables. On Monday I was also messing around at FTP cause there was some update on Prima and won a bit at nl80 deep, nl200 and pl400.
Also tried to satelite to FTOPS 8 (1k buyin) from a $150 satelite but first I 3bet PF for 1/3 of my stack w/ QQ and got called by two fags and the flop came AT9. First guy checks, 2nd guy pushes and I would insta call him if the third guy wasn't still to act. I folded and he got called by A8. The guy that pushed had KJ obv. Than lost with higher FD vs lower FD (he caught a pair) and busted out. Wanted
to play another satelite but I felt kinda tired plus I realized that FTOPS was going to start when it's 2am here so I passed on it.
As for nonpoker stuff it's been kinda boring. I had some beers and a shisha with my friend on Thursday and then I went to drink a bit more with my flatmates and got really wasted. On Friday I didn't feel good and it turned out to be a pretty bad cold. So I spent the whole weekend in my room and in the last 2 days I only went to my lectures cause I really wanted to get better since it's my friends birthday tonight and it should be a really good party. I'm also going to do some shopping today. Gotta buy quite a few things (jeans, jacket etc etc) and my cashout finally arrived so it's all good.
As for uni stuff, I gotta finish an assignment for Monday. It's almost done, I just need to put some more things but I'll do it on Thursday. Then I gotta start with another group essay which is shitty cause I'd rather do it on my own.
No plans for the weekend so far but I'm probably going to play loads of poker cause I'll probably catch a cold again tonight but whatever.
So I played a bit during weekend and even though I ran pretty bad I still won some moniez.
Geez.. I'm getting nittier and nittier..
Weekend was pretty boring. Didn't go out much, studied a bit, ate out with my dad a few times etc. He left Manchester btw and is now moving to Bath.
Yesterday I was planning on studying for my Spanish exam which is tommorow but I decided to just go for a pint with my flatmates to see some football match on tv. Obviously I didn't stop after 1 pint. Had like 6 or 7 more but half of them in Student's Union so ship teh £1 pints.
Now it's 10am here and I'm ultra tired but gotta start with teh Spanish. Gonna play a bit today as well. Oh yeah and watch new HSP, Prison Break and Heroes.
P.S. I wanna treat myself and buy something baller but I have no ideas. Since there are so many ballers on LP I'm looking for some awesome suggestions. I don't want to spend more than 1k ($) I guess.
So October is over and I have to say it was a really good month. The best ever month poker wise as well for me. Here are my stats and a graph:
My winrate is lowered by two HU sessions where I dropped like 4 buyins at nl100 and 6 buyins at nl200. The beginning of the month I ran pretty bad, then for the most part I ran really good (but not like god) and in the last 2 sessions of the month I ran ultra bad.
Apart from that I made 2,6k from rakeback so all together I'm up like 14,5k for the month which is really sweet. Before that my best month ever was like 4,5k or so. Three times more now. Ship it.
I also feel like I improved my game a lot this month. I think I need to work on my turn agression though cause my overal turn AF is lower than my river AF which isn't right I guess. I probably check behind on turn too often and don't double barrell enough. Any other comments on my stats would be appreciated.
I was planning on playing more in October but I was pretty busy in the end of the month plus my dad was in Manchester so I was spending a lot of time with him etc. In November I'm hoping to play about 50k but let's say that 40k is the minimum.
I went to two house parties in the last two days. Both were pretty good. The one which took place yesterday was really massive. 100+ people for sure and loads of free drinks etc. I was planning on going to another one today but I'm pretty hangover and tired etc and I'm a nit so I think I'll just stay and play some poker.
Since I had such a good month I wanna buy something for myself. I have no idea what should it be though. I'm not sure about the price range but let's say not more than 1k ($). Any ideas?
I just read about some Indian guy who is now the world's richest man. He's got like 63 billions dollars. Not too bad, huh? He's also building a one billion dollar house for himself and his family. 6 peoplez is going to live there but they're gonna have 600 peoplez as the staff, 27 floors and everything you can imagine. Baller or not?
Played 2 short sessions yesterday and today. Looks like my heater is over Run really bad and had a sick amount of beats and setups. But I could see that coming after a huge upswing in the middle of this month
I made one or two spewy plays during these two sessions so I could've saved a bit here. I think I got a bit too confident after my heater and that's why.
I probably won't be able to play tommorow so I'll clear my mind a bit and watch a CR movie or two and then get back to playing. I'll stick to nl400 for a few days with an occasional table at nl500 or nl600 if I can find good ones.
Tommorow in the morning I'm going to the gym, then I gotta study a bit, then I need to do some stuff for my dad and in the evening I'm going to some halloween party. The worst part is that on Thursday I start classes at 9am. But I'll try to go to the uni even if still drunk
Next week I might go to Poland for a few days since there are no low/mid stakes ballers who wanna go to Dublin for EPT with me.
That's it I guess. I'm gonna watch new episode of Heroes now and maybe Prison Break as well if I can find it online already (I watch them using streaming cause I can't download using p2p at my campus - does anyone know how to hack this shit?).
This month is just soooo good. Played a bit yesterday and made 2k again lolz:
Then I went to eat sth with my dad cause he's still in Manchester. Then I came back and drank a few beers and some vodka since it was one of my flatmate's birthday. We went out to some place called Billy Rox or sth like that which was filled with 40yr old MIWLFs (W stands for "wouldn't" ) so we check/folded on the flop and went somewhere else after having a drink. When we finally got there (after 20+ mins of walking) it turned out that most of peoplez wanna go back to our flat. So some peoplez decided to go to gay village. Me and few other peoplez took a taxi and I had like 1 more beer and then went to bed.
I woke up like and hour ago and I'm quite hangover. Plus I'm soooo thirsty and I don't have anything to drink. Meh, variance. I also have to cook sth today cause I bought some beef like a week ago and it's supposed to be used until today. I'm gonna do chilli con carne I think (mine is better than the ones in any english pub/restaurant obv). In the evening some of my friends are going out and everyone has to get some sort of costume. I dunno if I wanna go plus I don't have a costume so I'll see. What line should I take in this spot?
Took my laptop to the uni today cause I had a 3hr break. So I played for like 2hrs in library and saw a good nl600 table so apart from nl300 and nl400 I opened it as well. Needless to say I owned it:
Nit life, yo. I also lost like $500 at nl300 and nl400 but I can't post stats from PT cause they're mixed with results from yesterday (cause I played after midnight yesterday etc).
Nothing special but I played pretty bad yesterday and made some questionable plays. Today I dunno, I felt like I was running kinda good in big pots but I was losing a ton in small and medium ones. Plus I got stacked in the last hand for a full buyin. But can't complain at all after how the month is going so far.
I'm gonna start analysing my sessions in PT every time cause I've been on autopilot for the past few days and I'm not thinking about the game enough. Plus I make some spewy plays from time to time which shouldn't happen. So while looking through PT I'll post some hands here:
1. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301844 What do you think about it? He's quite a solid regular. I figured that turn was a really good card for me cause I'm pretty sure he's only calling my check/raise with 99 and K9 (22 is sooo unlikely).
2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301851 Villain was a tight regulars (18/14/3 or so) and I haven't been getting out of play. I was just playing standard abc game so I didn't expect him to call mi down with this hand.
3. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301855 His range on river is basically Tx, a flush and bluffs and I felt like it's a really good spot for him to bluff. Thoughts?
5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301857 What do you think about each street? I didn't want to 3bet PF because of the awkward stack sizes but on the other hand I wanted to play it because of fish in the blinds and wide range of preflop raiser. The guy that lead the flop was like 36/12/1 after 150 hands. What do you think about flop and turn?
6. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301867 I feel like I lost value in this one. Villain is 35/18/1.3. Should I bet turn in this spot? If I decide to check/call what do you think about leading river?
7. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/301870 Bleh that's a pretty bad spew. On one hand this is a very scary board but my line doesn't make any sense and I'd definitely lead river with straight or flush. Villain was like 18/8/1 but he was 3betting a ton. Maybe he was just running good but I saw him doing it a couple of times.
Ok that's it. I know that nobody will look through them but at least now I actually have to analyse my hands in PT etc. Ok time to go to bed now. Tutorials at 9am tommorow But at least I'm probably going out tommorow which is good cause I soooo need to get pissed lolz.
And a trailer of new movie with Jessica Alba to make this post at least a bit interesting. OMG I sooo can't wait to see it (or should I say - her).
oh and plz remind me about this post when I'll be running bad
So anyway, yesterday I went to vote cause there were elections for the Polish government and fortunetaly the party I was voting for won. I spent like over and hour in a que though cause there were like 500 peoplez in front of me waiting to vote as well. Never seen that before during elections when I was in Poland lolz. After that I went with my Polish friends from Manchester for a dinner etc and then played some donkaments. I had an online tourney for poker society at my uni and got 2nd this time (won the first one). I lost all LP donkaments withing 15 mins from the beginning lolz. I lasted for quite a bit in Polish LP donkament but somehow A4 < AK. wtf?!
Today I went to my Spanish lesson and had one tutorial as well. Then I had a dinner with my dad and studied a bit in my room. Then watched new CTS's video on CR and it was really good. Then obviously I decided to play a bit..
And the session started pretty rought. Couldn't win a single pot for like 45 mins and had loads of setups and beats etc. I was about to stop to cut my loses but then I went like
and thought
"zomg I'm not letting those retards go with my moniez"
I decided to do it in CTS style and play till unstuck. I was hoping it's not gonna take like 8k or 10k hands though, cause he had such sessions from what I remember lolz. Things started turning around slowly and I was about even when I stacked some random donk who started tilting and somehow everyone left the table and it was only me and him. I'm not comfortable playing nl400 HU (never actually played HU that high) but this was like winning on a lottery so I couldn't pass on it.
I stacked him like 3 times I think. Then he was playing with like less than 50bb so I said
"busto lolz"
and he insta reloaded obv lolz. So I stacked him one more time (ran good, my monsters held up and made some really good calls vs him too) and he left
So I played for like 30 mins more and stacked some fags, bluffed other and got quite owned by one reg who is pretty decent but also ran quite good against me today. Should've saved some moniez that he took from me though.
Anywas it was another decent session and my BR is almost at 21k. It's pretty sick how I'm doing this month. Up over 10k already I think. I'll post some fun hands now cause there were a few:
I played 2 sessions today. Like 2,5k hands total. And I won almost 2k again lolz. It's kinda strange cause I had some sick beats today and misplayed like 2 hands. Can't post the stats cause they're mixed with yesterday cause I was playing after midnight etc. Obviously I'm running good but I also feel that I'm pwning everyone at my stakes. There is maybe one guy or two that I don't like playing against. I make some really good reads, calldowns and well-timed bluffs. My BR is almost at 20k so it's pretty sweet since I had like 9,6k in the second half of September lolz. I'm also happy cause I have no problem with putting some long sessions even when I'm running good.
Time to go to bed now cause it's 3:20am and I gotta get up at 10am. Tommorow we're having elections for Polish government so I'm meeting up with my Polish friends from Manchester and we're gonna go and vote and then we're having a lunch together and than we're getting drunk obv. Too bad we're going to start drinking about 3pm lolz.
Our beloved president and prime minister (don't know who is who):
