Wow it feels good to finally win a session. I also realized that my win rate is 6bb/100, so I shouldn't be that worried about that humongous ass down slope, just running kinda bad and not like god mode where it'd be like set over set or top two vs bottom two in the first 4k hands.

I cleared my Stars $150 bonus today, feels nice. I'm going to wait til my withdrawal limit (I recently cashed out a small portion) clears and take out $750, $150 from bonus and $600 from the deposit FOR the bonus.

I played in four $10 MTTs today, and cashed in two for $25 and $60. So earned a small profit, I finished 82nd in a $30k gtd, I ran perfect (all my hands held up) and I lost on this hand:
+ Show Spoiler +

My thoughts on it: The guy who flatted from the small blind was really tight and doing really well as well, never seemed to be making a move but just always had the goods. He was like 20/19 and stole quite a fair bit and played pots only when he came in raising or calling an all-in. His flat seemed really weird.

Anyways I have KK and I bet just enough to put the short stack all in and maybe let him hero call with a random pp but then supreamdream tanks for a while and c/rai. It made me say WTF!!! I'm pretty sure he does not have a jack in his range a lot of the time, as he'd probably reraise it preflop or just fold it.
So basically: He has AA or QQ. I thought about it a really long time and it turns out I'm not good enough to lay down KK and he shows AA of course. I think I have to fold here in the future, cause this guy is never bluffing. He either has AA or rarely some weird type of Jx that he plays oop?? I do not think he would take this line with QQ as it'd surely be turning it into a bluff and he knows I'm a pretty tight player too. Soooooo FUCK!

School starts next week on the 20th for me, and I need to work every weekday this week except Wednesday from like 11-2 each day at my mom's place since one of her employees or something decided to quit. I'll be making like $13 an hour so it's pretty nice and will give me some disposable income where I don't have to withdraw from poker to get. Still waiting on my Cake Poker check for $2200 or so, gonna be checking the mail all week this week.

Forgot to mention on Friday was girlfriend's birthday so I went with her and some friends. We went to a Lebanese cuisine place, didn't really care much for the food it's too exotic. The restaurant was known for its hookah though, so we tried some. It was really fun though at first it seemed to burn my throat a little but it's still cool. I think I only like it cause exhaling the smoke looks so cool.

I think I'm getting the hang of MTTs now... every Sunday I'll be playing in a couple $10s and see how I do. I realized I used to suck when I kept trying to make moves when the field is so soft I don't even need to... so just nit it up or make a steal every now and then and you'll be good I used to try and get cute and 3 bet shove resteal and of course the fish don't care you're 3 betting or what you're repping and snap off with Ax.

Also I raped some reg today where I kept 3 betting him in position and showed a couple 3 bet bluffs and he did not know how to adjust at all and kept 4 betting me light when I had like AK/QQ+ and he'd have to fold to a 5 bet or would c/f to a cbet. He got up and left soon. Also I got paid off pretty nicely as it seemed I was super 3 bet bluffy or something but after a while I just caught a string of premium hands and got paid off quite nicely, ended up like 500bbs on the table after stacking someone here
+ Show Spoiler +

and the game broke cause the guy with T8 was some huge spewtard fish.

Ok there goes my 2 in the morning random ramblings, good luck everyone.

Only 2500 hands but I feel I'm running kind of bad. The fish are just out flopping me or sucking me out a ton.

Writing about it cause I think it'll help me get over it.

For my HU nl50 I'm down $80 over 2k hands, I should stop playing, I'm no good at it.

gonna take a few days and learn how to play heads up.
wish me luck.
i'll set a stop loss at $1500, so 10 buy-ins?
if anyone could help that'd also be awesome, i'm planning to play on nl50 after I watch more deucescracked videos

made the switch back to 6 max, full ring is too robotic for my tastes and I have to share the fish with even more nits.
break even shot over 1k hands. been 4 tabling it.
today had a lot of fish on my table with good position but was pretty card dead.
the humongous jump in EV and my winnings were from this hand:
+ Show Spoiler +

hmm some thoughts on NL50:
-running not very well second session leading to a little tilt and some bad play, resulting in the break even run
-squeezing too much from watching better people do it. I won't get rid of it altogether, I think I was just too obsessed with doing it jumping up from NL25 but I will just pick better spots and not do it too often
-overall I feel very comfortable at NL50 and it seems like I see even more fish at these levels, so that's a very good thing.

also missed my first available Silver Star 100 FPP $20k earlier today cause I forgot about it.
I think I woke up 2 hours after it began but I'll try and play them from this next Saturday and on.

I have only 2204 VPPs needed until I clear my $150 bonus, so looking forward to that. Shouldn't take too long now that I am playing NL50. I think I calculated it to be around 9000 more hands so easily doable.



I also cashed out my Cake roll earlier today since my rakeback got posted for a good total of $2288 and spare change. I'm looking to keep all that money for personal expenses since my bank account has like a measly $100 to it. Haven't received the money as the cash out is still processing, but I'm really looking forward to it.

The $600 surplus is from the bonus which I don't really consider a part of my bankroll.
Gonna take a couple shots tomorrow wish me luck.

Made around $888 on Cake (inc. rb) from shortstacking NL100 and 200 the first half of the month. sorry to everyone who hates short stackers (everyone) but I just had to do it to clear the bonus asap cause I hate Cake!

After I cleared my bonus I threw in cash to Stars again and started playing NL10 to try to roll up for NL25.
I had to move back down several times cause I ran pretty bad at NL25 many many shots. You see these on the graphs every time there is a down swing.
Then on one Sunday, I had a sick 14 buy-in or so heater (you'll see it as the $0 to $462 line) which took my roll to about $910. Soon after (due to school having ended and me grinding a couple days) I got really bored of cash games and spewed a lot trying to improve in MTTs and SNGs which I still try.

My roll was $832 on Stars when I deposited $600 for the reload bonus which I did tonight, so I will look to be taking shots at NL50 at around $1600 and then take my $600 back. I can't wait for my rakeback to get in on Cake, then I can cash out $2k
My bank account only has like a couple hundred in it, so this will be nice.

So here is my Stars graph for the month:




Spoiler is about my trip to Vegas:
+ Show Spoiler +

edit: after I got home from Vegas I entered a couple $2 180 man turbos, and placed 2nd in one of them for $72

Hope you all LPers had a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Good luck in poker for the next year everyone.

the good kind (added on to graph in blog post below). 14 buy-ins today. WTF LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
also: + Show Spoiler +

played a fish HU also after the table cleared out, I took off about 100 bb away from him and then game filled up and:
+ Show Spoiler +

god there is so much adrenaline in me, i also ran two big bluffs. one shoving AK in 3b pot with Q high and villain rr my cbet, and another one where i rr turn on a combo draw and shoved river brick.

i guess this makes up for running bad at NL25 beginning of this month.

edit: wow wtf i played 9 hours today. i need to sleep now instead of at 7 am cause need to go with the girlfriend and paint her friends room or something. don't worry, it'll be a +EV afternoon

edit 2: wtf 53bb/100 LOL for today
someone keep a fat lady sitting on my boomswitch plz

this was over 5 hours mixed with a couple MTTs (MTT losses don't show). explains how i got only 1300 hands in 5 hours haha. mostly I was 2 tabling cash and 2 MTTs til later then I stopped thinking and opened 4 tables, then stopped thinking some more and played 6.

During the middle of it I became Silver Star, which is pretty cool I guess. Weekly $20k freerolls from now on, hopefully will take one of them down soon.

so when I play without thinking, I seem to run pretty good. I think I'll just keep my brain shut off from now on instead of dwelling on how I'm going to make moves on the next opponent.

So I'm finally reconfindent in NL25 now with this nice heater and thanks to all the fish, I'm back in the green for December on Stars

Time to take a break until like later tonight 11 pm or so.
