Doing great at my limits
Oddeye, Jan 06 2008
Yup, since the beginning of this year I've made over 10k$!!! My bankroll is at 34k but if you include rakeback I've got a pretty 36k! I'm really happy about the result, I hope it keeps going well. I've tried NL400 HU(I still mostly play NL400/NL600 6max) a bit more and I'm getting mixed results again, mostly because some player are very good and some are extremely bad. So it kinna even out with a small profit, I also have fun playing 100$ SNG head up because player are so bad it's almost ridiculous. They usually last around 10-20mins and its a really easy 100$, I would compare those player to the skill of the bad NL50 head up regular I used to play(very bad -_-). If I ever hit 50k I might give a try to NL1000 but honestly I'm not so sure about how I will be able to react to the regulars around there. I guess just full datamining and obsing. Does anyone know how soft is NL1000 on ultimate bet? Cause I don't really know anyone from this forum playing those stakes on UB.
I went skiing(not like going downhill from a mountain, just skiing in the forest w my parents) and felt a couple of time. It's kinna hard not to fall when you go fullspeed w those kind of ski and there no trail - especially today since it was pretty icy and the forest was full of big hills. Didn't do it since a while but it's good to get in shape and well I did something with my parent(I guess thats a good thing).
Goodluck everyone.
My first poker year
Oddeye, Jan 01 2008
I tried poker for the first time something like a year ago (slightly less I think) I was playing penny stakes and didn't have much of a clue and was swinging pretty much up and down. Didn't play a lot nor did I put enough effort for like the first 5-6 months and since September I started putting much more thought and it actually improved my winrate a while lot.
December was the best month ever for me, I won over 15k$ and didn't play that many hands. Everything went pretty good at NL400/NL600 and I ended the year with 25,4k$+1.6k$ RB and on January 1st I made 1k already. I am going to be baller and set an objective to make at least 75k this year, I'm confident it will be doable, maybe I won't, hopefully I will. However I'm not so confident in moving up to NL1k, that might come later if I believe my skill have improved but I don't feel ready yet. I don't have any graph because PT fucks up so bad with UB. So goodluck at the tables, happy new lucky year!
Gave NL600 a try tonight
Oddeye, Dec 22 2007
I probably ran good but the table was half fish - half regular. I think I stacked the 3 fishes on the table and only played one or two hand vs a regular (which are mostly NL400 regular anyway). Funniest hand was AQ in CO I open raise, minraised by the highest stack donk in dealer so I call (380~ stack total) and he check raised me with 88 on 39Q and I obviously called. I'm still mostly playing NL400 but since I don't think it is much different I'll play NL600 too (only like 2 tables now, usually only a single one).
I think I started running somewhat bad when I started NL400 but I also didn't have that much of a clue of what was difference between NL200 and NL400, now I'm doing much better vs the regulars. My roll is at 17.5k and I'll hopefully hit 20k really soon and I'm gonna work hard for it. No spew!
Oh and btw does anyone have a clue why ultimate bet with PAH doesn't show everyone stats while they are clearly in my PT database? Also why like 10% of my hands don't even show in HH so not in PT either.
NL400 is going so-so

Not very good actually, I've taken quite a few horrible beats but I'm questioning my play... Every hand I've played turned out so wrong and leave me perplexed. I can't close my eyes without seeing my bad beats and I just can't quit. I have this horrible feeling I didn't get since a big while.
Ahhh fuck this...
Another part of the bad beat jackpot
Oddeye, Dec 09 2007
2nd time I hit it, it's nice I can't complain but I wish I'd have been on more table has this is 260$ par table (4tables). I played sometimes this weekend and ran pretty bad but I guess that was my paycheck for the hardwork. Got 12k total by now and school is almost done(Monday to Wednesday gonna be hella shitty tho) so its going well. Hope I'll keep progressing and you too GL.
Done and soon gone
Oddeye, Dec 01 2007
Yup I've done it, I'm at 10K$  ! I'm soon going to move to microgaming network (BF most likely - seems better than R9) when the rb goes in.
Today I'm going to go play a MTT at the Université Laval which is 25$ entrance, so 20$ in chips and 5$ entrance I guess. Is that standard for a 250 player tournament(I mean +5$ Fee)? I haven't really played many MTT, except when I started playing poker, so I'm curious if you have any tips I haven't really played big live game either (only played w friends) - Guess I should watch a CR video 
Apart from poker I went to see a Taiko (Traditional Japanese drumming). It was pretty damn entertaining, the artist were really enthusiastic and skilled. School is pretty boring but it's soon going to end so it's Christmas break really soon.
Oh and I was thinking about if I should choose Oddeye as my username or something really unreadable(cjp86j78) or just perhaps another nickname. I think if someone google my username he will probably end up on liquidpoker and be able to see my style (I guess some regulars might do that vs those they play daily)
Almost back to 8k
Oddeye, Nov 21 2007
Had an acceptable run without too many sick beats and managed to win a big flip that was a really hard call. One thing I've noticed is that I play surprisingly tighter than what I played before at NL200 and IMO it works much better. I guess I will gradually try to loosen up once regular have a good read on me once again, for now I don't see much of a use to do that. Objective is 10k and cash out and to come back on a fishy site(not like ub wasn't) like prima or rednines, I'm just fed up of UB and I'm pretty sure the software hypnotize me and force me to play bad. Good luck and I hope mine continues 
Tilt draining my energy
Oddeye, Nov 19 2007
I had finally been doing good for a little while, played focused but it happened again. I started running total crap and losing and losing, I am down 1.2k (to 6.5k  ), that being 400$ HU NL50 and 800$ NL200. NL200 beats were pretty damn annoying, all happened in like 200 hands, KK vs AA, AA vs JJ, AA vs 55, TT vs AK (all 3 bets pot) but I've def been playing too tight, it's just seems to be better yet but maybe it's why I'm only getting action into cooler situation.
The HU part was pretty weird, I don't know much yet about HU but I mostly lost when I played a tight opponent, he folded all the time and it made me tilt so I started betting like crazy and donked 2 buyins vs him. Other than that I am pretty sure all I lost HU were pretty gross beats, people joining my table, betting recklessly and getting lucky then leaving.
Once again I wish the week didn't start so bad so I could have started thinking about something else but ain't gonna happen I guess. Hopefully the wind will change and it'll go good again but until then I'll be pissed (hopefully not spewing).
Couldn't have went worst
Oddeye, Nov 04 2007
I don't know how I can have made it to 8k and be at 2k by now but whatever this is basically the fact. I wish my blog wasn't all about whining but I can't say I'm happy with the result.
I gave a try to improve my leaks, I'm still doing it but sometimes trying isn't enough.
Oh guys I feel so depressed... it'll obviously fuck up my school very bad I have big exams coming. 
No more weed and I'm getting drunk, but it isn't even fun.
The end to this
Oddeye, Oct 28 2007
You were probably right I should have quit, or something, too late now. I took breaks but I guess that doesn't do it. I didn't run any better but I could clearly have saved a few buy-ins. I might play again later but I should probably just cash out what I left and stop it.
Life will probably be really shitty from now on, I just hope I die in a car crash tomorrow morning when I go to school.
I made 3k in 3000hrs of play, great.... oh and I learned to play a game I suck at... I swear this game made me feel worst than when I abused drugs(I guess I should go back to that... ok no). It's kinda hard to describe the feeling here but I feel awkward and shitty, every fucking thought is painfull.
What pisses me the most is that I basically never touched the money, and now it's gone, can't buy the new computer I waited so long for...
Can't focus, can't feel good oh god I'm so tired of being whiner and feeling crappy because of this game, even determination didn't work - I swear I worked hard on my game but this shows I'm full of leak. Tonight I don't wanna see myself in the mirror ...
Had no fun, hope you did. Cya ~_~
You don't have to say anything it doesn't matter btw I just wanted to let the shit out...
