Cheese and Whine

Wake up at 8 am. Eat breakfast.
Sit down play poker for 3-4 hours
Win 4 buyins.

I wish poker could be like this all the time, I suck at handling variance.

Ok, time for shower+lunch.

Hands!

What in the name of god?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272511 - ..... I have NO CLUE what to do here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272522 - Speechless.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272524 - What the hell?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272570 - "OK"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272574 - Nice hand, buddy.

Stnd

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272513 - Uhm.. Okay.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272516 - 97 = nuts

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272502 - yay

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272541 - Stnd.


Interesting/help/bad play

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272499 - The guy leads top pair, slowplays 2 pair (apparently, judging by this hand). That's the main reason I called, I thought for sure he didn't have aces (since the hand just before this he led with his TPGK)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272540 - I think this was a bad double barrel by me..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272544 - 17/12 but with like 29 att to steal.. I don't know if I like it or not. I guess he can make crying calls with tens or jacks. It doens't feel right but at the same time I'm kinda lost what to do on turn here if I don't push, maybe the best solution is simply to not 3bet QJo vs him!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272571 - Missed c/r, probably better to just valuebet here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272573 - I like my line here, although I C/R:ed less than I should have on the turn. 90 maybe?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272572 - Hm, on the one hand I don't want to get pushed off my draw, on the other I want to stack him if I hit and he's on a weaker flushdraw, and we are too deep to do that without me betting. I probably should have bet more tho (it looked less small without the rake added in).


Various

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272533 - Too aggro to even consider folding.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272563 - Didn't want to flip for 200bb vs the 90/60 guy.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272565 - <3 darko

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272567 - Implied maniac odds.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272569 - Sweet turn, but I probably should have bet more on the river (although if I was being results oriented this was probably about right, as he actually thought for a while before calling).


I'll sort out which ones were interesting/I wanted some input on later since this is basically just all the ones I uploaded.

Weeeeeeeeeeee


Celebratory picture, cause all the cool blogs are doing it!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272236 - bleh, I'm not sure I should bet turn --; But I picked up a second draw!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272209 - Stnd. Top set is never good.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272185 - .... KT???

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272171 - CAN I WIN A HAND PLZ? Nooo, of course we have to runner-runner split the pot!!!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272130 - ......
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272239 - lol obv I shouldn't fold turn, dunno what I was thinking -_- But I never could make as much as a pair vs this guy (after the JT hand), so after waiting for an hour he dumps his 2 buyin stack to some random idiots._.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272088 - Standard awesome flop.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272010 - whatever.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272008 - hey look, tilt, I broke my keyboard, kind of.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272005 - More standard AA losing to idiot who likes to donkbet but of course hits his flush after calling off half his stack.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271959 - - -
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271908 - WHAT THE FUCK

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271905 - God I played this so bad.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271904
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271902

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271901 - awesome timing.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271899 - dunno.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271897 - 84s for stacks preflop.. of course it wins.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271896 - dumb hero call.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271894 meh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/271892 -.- it held!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272250 - no bad day is complete without an underset.

+ A million hands where I 3bet, money caller calls and raises my cbet on either an A high flop when I have JJ-KK, or on a rag flop when I have AK.

Again. And Again. And again.

So basically dropped 2k from todays highpoint at 6400$ to like 4600.. or 4500, something like that. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Some happy hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272261 - dunno about preflop..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272265 - No.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272263 - =]
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/272268 - this guy seriously called me every time preflop, floated a shitload and bet everytime I checked (ie if I didn't cbet cause it was 3 way or something).

Huuuuuuuuugely succesful move up to 1/2 (lol 12bb/100, if only that was sustainable :D)

Moving up was seriously a really, really good decision because I haven't tilted a single time yet, which might be partly because I've been running good/not playing much, but also I think it's because the money at 1/2 hurts way more than the money at .5/1 (IE I played so much .5/1 it didn't feel good/bad losing a buyin).

I also finally feel like I'm not playing on auto-pilot, maybe it's all running good but I feel like I can tell a little bit better what type of hands people have and therefore I might be getting better value than before.

Table selecting reallllly carefully now, I think this might be one of the best additions to my winrate ever (I started it sometime last month), not just joining the tables with the biggest avg. pot.

Hands!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266274 - First allin at 1/2!
Since I know this guy is pretty floaty/tricky/aggro I think, since I picked up the NFD) it might be better to just call and let him bluff.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266357 - Hybris from winning a big pot at another table, I put him on weak ace and thought he could fold it :[ (I had played almost no hands at this table due to being carddead so.. this was like first hand I raised in a really long time).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266358 - there's the big pot!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266359 - Lol, I'm lucky he didn't raise me on the flop, I'd have been allin soooo fast.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/266389 - Sooo ugly, better betsizes would have helped me on the river.

A pretty funny hand that I wasn't involved in:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267033

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267057 - Weeee

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267297 - Biggest pot I'd won at the time, might be biggest still, not sure.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267301 -
vs 18/2.. I figured I'd get more money from his JJ, QQ by calling than by RR flop. Ugly river.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267310 - bankin the sklansky bucks

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267330 - bankin real money! It's awesome when you have a guy willing to felt Q6s preflop.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267851 - I thought given his extremely strong line I might be better off just calling (since I have 0 fold equity).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267854 - So THAT'S how it's done..!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267856 - Ez shippin', nice of him to more or less tell me he had a flush as well :D

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267978 - A revolutionary new way to play ace king..!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267979 - WEe.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267980 - more sklansky bucks

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267981 - Proooobably should have bet turn to protect my hand from strong hearts? Although he might bet those again on the turn, or semi-bluff c/r.. Hm.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/267982 - Ah~ Doh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268023 - One of the first hands of the session, slowplayed KKK vs my turned set = ouch.
Didn't tilt at all tho and ended up running over 2 tables playing 25/20~ for a while.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268065 - Teodore had JJ, thought I was isolating the A9 fish (which I obv was doing a lot). Might be better to 4bet here?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268066 - Thought he'd slowplay a ten.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268067 - Noo, thought he had a weaker straight Oh well, not much I can do about this, 70/X/X guy can have a lot of hands here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/268068 - Repping the Ace king~_~

6k reached!

Altogether an exceptional start to september, hopefully I'll play a lot while I'm running this well (I played my 2 longest 1/2 session after I lost a buyin early on, although only 1 of them ended negative - barely - this is a bad pattern).

Need a smack in the head for always chasing losses and quitting early when winning (although I'm usually quitting because I feel like I'm getting overly cautious not to lose, I tend to ignore similiar symptoms suggesting I quit when I'm losing).

Dunno how much rakeback I've got coming, but it should be a few hundred at least, hopefully by the end of the month - coupled with rakeback - I'll have enough for NL300 or NL400. Although I'm not really in a hurry to move up, I just hope I'll be able to, should I feel ready.

I almost sat in a NL300 game today after I couldn't find a good 4th 1/2 table but decided against it despite there being a 60/0/0 (well something low) fish in there with a big stack.

Oh, there's a ton more regs who love to squeeze up at 1/2, I can imagine that getting really frustrating if you run bad.

So:
I am no longer down since I moved to prima - major shipaments!

I also recieved my rakeback, 1295$, so my roll is now over 4000 - SHIP.

I played good today, but also finally - FINALLY - ran good. I mean, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
:D I mean my AK top pair actually >HELD<. Completely radical, I know!

I flopped sets that got action, overpairs were actually good and so on.

I also stopped myself from tilting by slowing down when I suddenly felt like every table was moving really fast and every cbet was getting raised (also the software kind of crashed when I had to reload so I had a 1 minute cooldown period :D!).

Hands later, now hungry. Left a pretty good game (one 70/50 guy and one 40/30 guy both halfstacked, but too hungry and tired, needed a break).

I guess I'll probably still move back to stars, but maybe I'll stick with my original plan, which was to move back when the rednines promotion ended (september 30).

Dunno. Just felt like making a happy post for once! Up about 600$ today, 400 yesterday.

I haven't decided if I'll give 200 NL a shot just yet, I had intended to give it a shot with 20 buyins but I'm not sure if I should or not given my dismal winrate at NL100/my many leaks

Moving back to pokerstars cause for some reason I'm completely unable to 1) make good decisions 2) not tilt (well, I tilt but less), on any site other than pokerstars -_- This reminds me of when I played on UB for a 1 month, exact same kind of results.

Maybe it's because neither site has a good handhistory window (which I use extensively on stars, ie constantly going through them all when not in a hand, taking notes on the players -.-).

In either case, I'm just gonna cash out my bonus (if PT is correct it should come to about 1600$..) and move to Pokerstars I guess. Try to get supernova, fix my leaks and not tilt.

The initial free-fall came from 1 single session of 8 tabling where every single time I had an overpair it would go down in flames, sets would face 4 card straight boards and by the time that happened I was tilt calling.

Then I got cardrunneres, started 4 tabling -> recovered half. Then some patchy results, tilt, 8 tables, oops.

4 tabling again, followed by god knows what. 4 tabling again, playing pretty well..

Enter today around hand 29k. Played for what, 14 hours? Setup after setup after setup after setup after setup.

Should have fucking known today would have turned out this way after it took me 5 hours to fall asleep and I fell out of bed trying to unplug my alarm cause I was too sleepy to figure out where or what it was.

I have leaks, yeah, but I promise you that I can beat the retard who limps 56o UTG and calls a raise with them.

Not today. Huge whine post I know but I needed to vent a bit before sleeping.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261137
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261101 (he's a 45/3/.8 station).
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261100
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261092
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261091 <- didn't raise cause I wanted the other guy to call, who was a pretty big station. Obviously didn't matter.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261055 - horrible by me, I don't know how to properly play this.

This guy's luckbox tilts me: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261044

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/261038 "ok"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260989 run better plz
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260985 this has happened so many times lately..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260977 no pair no draw allin on flop, QQ is a huge dog to this today..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260980 I kinda suspected he'd do the same thing with a real hand as well but wtf, not going to fold QQ to some guy who just went allin with A high ._.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260970 Bet turn? I figured one of them was likely on a straight or flush draw -_-

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260965 first time I float in forever.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260967 Hand right after.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260959 ....
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260870 Maybe I should just open push.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260850

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260783 Hey look it's tilt! I thought allin was potsize tho.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260784 Hand right after

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260762 who needs setodds!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260763 Top boat vs quads, pretty standard with his luckbox..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260812 probably a bad river call.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260785 Hey look a hand I won -_-

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/260766 lol.

Sooooo, it ended alright after yesterday's downswing (I started off making 500$ in an hour so that's why the fall is so huuuuge) I managed to recover today.

Played.. hm. Better, had some luck (and some bad luck). I played a little bit looser/less scared during my second session today, made a few stupid mistakes because of it probably.

Anyway, nice that I was able to salvage July at least somewhat (well the graph is july+1 hour of august).

Maybe I'll post some hands later, or you can just check the mass hands I posted.

Hands played like a complete idiot:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240943 - SHOOT ME.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240875 - god knows wtf I was doing
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240852 - meant to type 18, instead I type 118. Fuck.


Ridiculous beats:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240932
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240826 - I never ever slowplay sets OOP and the one time I do, I get fucked. Not that it would have mattered, money is going in on the turn anyway.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240820 - ace high wins 370bb pot -_- God, all those outs and not one could hit.

Standard:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240933

Dunno:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/240769 second time in a row he 3bet my button raise.

In conclusion: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccck

Too depressed to add more hands right now -.- Spent 3 hours winning the blinds when I had the nust and getting mincheckraised when I had air. Then boooooooom, lose 500$ more.

Fuck.

Switched to NL100 3 days ago or so. Played about 6k hands today, and I came back from being down 600~ to being up 200~ which feels nice. Had some slight tilt in the middle but I realized it in time and tightened up until I'd calmed down (and I think I won a 150+ bb pot, which probably helped).

Barely played at all this summer (played a lot for the first 2 weeks of june, then not at all until a week or so into July, moved up to NL100 with 2499.42 - stars wouldn't let me reach 2500, I was within 50$ sooooo many times) but it feels good to be back!

Graph of how I've done since moving back to Stars from UB (sometime in May)

Nothing terribly interesting, maybe I'll post some hands when I get up tomorrow, too sleepy/hungry right now

Just felt like I should use my blog for something other than bad beat whining!

Prob. 3 worst beats of the day- _- Played maybe 4-5k hands and lost pretty much exactly 300$ so I'm back to where I was 2 days ago.

Oh this hand was funny as well -- http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/207257
Yeah.

I guess on a positive note I didn't really tilt at all (only tilt would be betting pot instead of my usual 75-80% of pot ==). And a hand with JJ where I got swamped by other tables and made a poor decision, + KK vs a nit but that wasn't so bad, most people don't lead with sets anyway.

Graph of hands since I moved back to PS from UB..



Taking a break until I PS approves the LP fish as my display pic. -.-
(or until later this evening, whichever)
