Trials, Tribulations

So after my third shot at NL50 everything has just been really shitty. In that last try, I lost around 4.5 buyins in a few hundred hands.. I ran REALLY bad. imo I played good though. After that, I moved back down to NL25 and lost another few BI. So at the end my roll was about 750.. Managed to get it back up a bit but ever since it has been fluctuating between 800 and 900. I have put in a hell of a lot of hours and hands.. but it's just so swingy and I end up breaking even. I am now doubting my play and I know I have been playing a bit bad.. due to frustration I guess. I suppose I am spewing too, but I just don't know how to correct what I'm doing.

The combination of non-optimal play (I don't feel I am doing anything different from before but it just seems like it's not optimal anymore. everyone seems to like playing back at me and shit idk) and running bad (well I am on no heater that's for sure) is just really killing it. And I do think my post flop really needs more improvement.

Also my stats seem to indicate that I've tightened up. I just feel really weak in the games atm and nothing is working out..

Here are some graphs/tables from the past hell week:

Winnings (losings, rather):



Showdown Winnings - this looks terrible... That red line is so bad... :



Stats:



Can anyone see any clear indications of what's going on here? Obviously the non-showdown winnings shows that I am spewing a lot.. But ya to anyone willing, please help!!! It's driving me nuts.

Well I played a second session and I was doing alright in the beginning but then it just became absolute dogshit. All kinds of suckouts. Then I ran into this one fucking 95/50 donk who is the biggest luckbox ever. He ran like Jesus fucking Christ. e.g. : http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/519888

I should have folded that but you see what I mean. I lost 3 like 3 fucking BI to that guy, unbelievable.

2nd session:



Today:



So anyways I move back down to NL25 tomorrow and grind back up to 1K, then NL50 again.

Okay so it started off alright, was up just a bit for a while.. was playing a bit tight because MANY MANY fish. But then it all went to hell when some guy flew under the radar and limped aces in a multiway, I raised in position and then I get reraised. Fucking weird. Of course he's a donk so he only got $20 off me at showdown (reel in much?). Same thing happened shortly after. Guy plays Aces like the station he is. I have KK, and the board was undercards. Of course he gets payed off without doing anything. Just unlucky I guess. Also another station with JJ with undercard board. I had KK he spikes his J on river. Anyways it's all good I was just a bit unlucky. Didn't play that much anyways - just got some exposure to the 50NL scene.



GL at the tables everyone!

P.S. yes I know it's only 1.611112 buyins

I played 2 sessions today, the first was gaylord focker and had crazy variance and my graph for the was just a zigzag. Ended up about +1.5BI at least. Then played a second session which went really good: +7 BI. So that makes today the biggest fuckin win day ever.





Ship it. I was playing fairly tight today but that was because of being dealt lots of junk and there was soooo many donk retards at the tables today. Maniacs I tell you.

And here's my lifetime graph.. looking kinda good I guess



After going on vacation this summer I kind of had to readjust to playing poker again. In the beginning I wasn't playing too hot, but I got back into the swing of things lately and this has been the result so far:



Which brings me to another thing... My roll has finally reached 4 figures I AM NOW ROLLED FOR NL50 BITCHES!!! FUCK YA!!!

And you tried to get rid of me bad when I came back, but I stuck around and made you bend over.

So anyways I had an NL25 marathon today.. Played most of the day. First few hours was absolutely and positively gay. I was running so bad. Oversets, FH into quads, sets getting sucked out by straight draws, the whole 9 yards. But I still hung in there and eventually started to win. Few more suckouts and bad beats so it hurt my final net profit - which could have been over $200 - ship it!!! So I touched over $200 profit in a day - a first for me. It's quite cool because I've pretty much doubled my roll in about 3 days. Not bad.

Day stats:



Day graph (notice how gay it is in beginning and the spikes after due to bad beats/suckouts. oh well, it happens :D ):

Well I pressed back and I lost everything I wrote so this one will be a shorter summarized version.
1. I'm owning it up at NL10
2. I'm barely spewing and I'm playing soo good. My confidence has been restored hugely.
3. I have over 20 BI for NL25.. last time I took shots I had around 16 (I'm very disciplined when it comes to moving down). I can move up at any time really.
4. I'm happy with my stats.. They are now looking like a proper 6max player's, not a FR supernit.
5. Very happy with HEM so far, I think I will very well buy it. Seems much lighter (resource wise) than PT3 and does everything I really need it to do.

For your viewing pleasure (from today):

Just pulled an all nighter.. session from 1-6am. Going was slow and quite a bit of variance and a couple of bad calls, but overall pretty solid play. Made some hero calls too which I'm quite proud of :D. Can't be arsed to find them atm though.

Well I haven't really played for the past 1 and a half months cos I went on vacation. Awesome vacation. Anyways.. I've played a few sessions in the last few days. Been doing decently at NL10, but when I play NL25 I'm losing. Been trying to get my game up to scratch (not playing for 6+ weeks really made me super newb again). Today I played really well.. Made 6.5BI in about 1k hands. But after that I started playing like shit and was spewing really bad.. Started making dumb calls and trying stupid bluffs ofc. So I ended up at +2BI. Sigh. At least I know I still have what it takes to win when I'm playing solid postflop.

I'm also quite proud of my stats. Usually I'm playing less than 20 VP and PFR, but today I was well in the 20s. Anyways I'm just going to post a graph because I just started using HEM and am still figuring out how to set the filters.

sexy...then gross:

Anyway today was verrrry long pokerwise. Had a first session which was slow in the beginning (was -ve) but then ended up +$80 in a few hundred hands. Then took a break and played again at night. Won a few more BI so I was up $120 for the day (which was really nice hehe) but after that the going was so slow. No winnings/losings for a really long time. But then a fucking hand happened where I flopped trips and the other guy flopped a FH. Ya I was deep on that table and so was the other guy so I went broke. FUCK. So I lost like 2 BI right there and then things just went downhill from there. It was the biggest pot I've played too. I was not playing that hand strong but my mentor told me to shove and I did like a good student. Then I got pwned. All in a days work lol. Here's the hand
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/486148
that bastard. So I lost a few more bucks so I ended up +$46 for the day. I'm not too happy about that but hey, I have more than yesterday so wtv.

Oh ya but it's all good I ended up pwning pPlusAD HU like the newbbb he is. bahaha. Oh ya and there was so many fish today wtf. Like 5 ppl at least with VP of 80 in 150+ hands. And they were owning the tables lol. Insaneee.

So I'm doing so good compared to 2 weeks ago where I was struggling to win at all over few K hands every day. I can honestly and humbly say that I am a much better player than I was 2 weeks ago, no comparison. Back then I was so excited to win like 20 bucks in a day maybe, but now winning $100 in a couple of hours and 1000 hands just seems mediocre to me. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out Especially pPlusAD who has improved my game the most. He is a good teacher even though I can pwn him heads up. hihi.

Anyway here's my graph for today:
