My Story: I'm 20 yrs. old attending a small college in Iowa. I'm in my 3rd year going for a Biology major and Psychology minor. I plan to attend grad school for physical therapy. I've been playing poker since Summer 2005 and became serious this past summer. I've been donking around at NL50 6max for quite some time now and finally decided to get serious and quit doing stupid things like tilting and fancy play syndrome. I cashed my bankroll down to 1,000 around Jan 6th to "start over." Since that time I have been doing quite well.
I'll probably enter almost daily an update of my progess towards moving up as well as rewarding myself. My plan is to move up to NL100 once I reach 3,000. I could move up sooner, but I really think I need to experience the next 1,500 to get there before I move up again. I have played quite a few hands at NL100, but suffered a -700 night in mid-December and that crushed my confidence and I realized I wasn't ready.
Jan. 15th Results
Hands Played: 1,453
Profit: $49.65
Bonus: $20.43
RB Earned: ~$18
Current Bankroll: $1556
Today woulda been a sick day of profit if I had not lost $180 PREFLOP to JJ when I had AA ....oh well, just shows how bad people are.

you play as if you were playing a tournament, push/fold poker, if you had played your AA properly on that one hand it wouldnt've happened |

I was clearly on tilt, and the pushes were always when I had the goods. I was trying to exploit the retard to my right and it worked until he sucks out a set for $130 |

because its retarded... can't you play your hands properly?
its a really fishy move to raise 130$ over a 2$ raise you know? even though you got called and thats what you wanted.. it's still really terrible
I don't care if you were ahead or not, you still played terrible, and you were on tilt, don't act like if you did the right move theres a huge % chance he wouldve folded how the hell do you know he calls 3 buy ins all in pf with JJ? |

The guy calls tptk for $70 in limped pot and I have the nut straight on the turn and push all-in....hmmmm, exploitable? When somebody is that deepstacked and that dumb, well hell yes I'm gonna open push AA for 2 1/2 buyins. EV of over $100 by doing that or EV of like $10 if I play it normal b/c he would have folded on the flop.
I had a tilt "image" at that table, but by the time I had stacked the donk on that straight and then open pushed AA I was NOT on tilt, I was playing the way I thought was most profitable (and it worked, just got unlucky). He was playing something like 43/24 or something and he would occasionally slip in a min. raise instead of his normal $1.75 bet pot raise. This was a tell I had picked up and figured since he didn't do it very often that it was with premium hands. He min. raised on that hand, so a little bell went off in my head that said "OMG I have AA and the fish also probably has big pockets, he'll never fold if I push." I was right and I'd do it again.
p.s. "Can't I play my hands properly?" Who says playing standard is always required? In fact, if you always play standard, that's probably a leak in your game. Adapt adapt adapt! |
