Spring Break

I had a post typed out the other night explaining all of this but ofcourse I hit publish and an error occured, hit back and nothings there...very gay...

But Im on spring break right now. Starting out in Wilmington for now. Staying at my brothers place from Friday until Tuesday. Tuesday Im headin down to Myrtle Beach and staying at my gfs place..

Woke up at 430 this morning and went out on the family boat. Went out about 40 miles to the Gulf Stream. Still too cold for much trolling so we bottom fished all day. Saw a wide variety of fish. Caught mostly pink snappers and grunts. Pulled in 2 gag groupers that were too short to keep and 2 red groupers that were keepers. A friend reeled in a 6 foot moray eel that was pretty cool to see. Caught a few sharks and an amberjack as well.

As for March, I think I ended up about $250 but Im not sure of exact numbers. I am on my brothers laptop and do not have access to my PT or Excel stats. I hope to jump into some 1/2 when I get home next Friday or Saturday. Really want to earn enough FPPs on PS to order the 20" monitor. I should be able to do it quite easily 2-4 tabling 1/2.

April Goals:-Play 25k hands (usually 30k but will not be able to start until April 7th when I get back from SB
-Play 10k hands at 200NL and 15k at 100NL.
-Ofcourse, have a winning month.


Here's me with the red grouper I caught.





Here's my brother and I with the grouper we caught (yes we're twins).

Weekend Update...

Was a good weekend overall. Friday night, I came home from school and played some poker. Then went to a friends house to watch the games on his projector in HD. Pretty badass. Came home with my gf to watch the Carolina game at my house. We ended up falling asleep after the game. Saturday I woke up and play some poker. Then went to the park and chilled w/ bunch of friends. The 70-80 degree weather was fucking perfect. Actually got kinda burnt out there with no shirt on. Came home and play some more poker. Ended up meeting at a friends house and getting pretty drunk before we went to a club. Stayed there until about 3, went and ate some steak and shake. Ended up back at a friends place. Today I went and played a practice round for my match tomorrow at a really nice private course. Was playing pretty easy and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. My goal is to break 40, so 39 or better. If I play like I did today I should have no problem. Came home and played poker all night.

Officially In the Green!

So I officially moved from the red to the green for the month. I was down pretty good from the month (as you can see from the graph), but managed to grind it all back playing 100NL. Had a lesson with SixPeppers Thursday night which was really great. Really got me playing more aggressive postflop instead of playing pretty passive. Hopefully I can keep winning and start back at 200NL come April.

200NL

Played some 200NL tonight. Played 3 tables at a time, trying to increase my reads and notes. UB seems very fishy at 200NL, definitely moreso than at 100NL. If only I could have a monster session against these donks....

The Bad:

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?926985
Blah...guy was awful. Thought the blocking bet might do the trick on the river but obviously not...probably should have just c/f or c/c a small bet....

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?926987
sweet...

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?926996
Great call pre....

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?926998
LOL

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?927000
Would be tough to fold this...I think I have to call there....

The Good:

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?927001
Just sat down...sat out a few hands later when table broke haha

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?927003
Nice hitting your hand 4 way in a 3bet pot....

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?927004
Guy seemed over aggro....probably JT or QT. When he checked the river I knew he wasn't calling

Bluffing with the best hand?

This weekends poker=blah

Blah...Friday I only played a few hands and just ran into several gay hands so i just quit so I didn't tilt. I ended up goin to a friends apartment that night with the intentions of getting drunk...when we got there they had less beer than expected so I just chilled and watched some basketball games...ended up watching the Lakers game with Kobe dominating until about 1:30 then i came home. Played some HU on FT when i got home and ended up about 2 buyins there. The HU there is really soft and i wouldnt mind playing it more often.

Saturday was a pretty good day and I logged a bunch of hands on UB. There was an unusual amount of donks playing for UB which is usually stacked with regulars. I love playing on UB because of the rakeback. I wish my RB would work for full tilt but its gay and doesnt. Once i get my laptop for college i will probably make a new account and get rakeback on there. I celebrated St. Pattys day in style on saturday night and well into sunday morning. Hung out with my girlfriend for awhile then went to the same apartment as friday night. Took a few shots of brunnettes razz when i got there then just drank some sprite/brunnettes mixed. Played a lot of beer pong with this mix and ended up playing pretty good...went to bed abuot 4:30 and got up at about 9...

Went to Dicks (sporting goods) with a few friends from the golf team that were at the party when we woke up. Bought some new golf shoes and a glove. We then went to Waffle House and chowed down at about 11. Our waitress was fucking retarted. My brother got a waffle and a hashbrown which shoulda been like 4$ but on the ticket it said 2.45+1.40=$2.35. Dont know how the hell she managed to get less than just the waffle but whatever, guess thats why shes working at waffle house dumb bitch (she was slow and didnt bring my friend his waffle till we were leaving haha)...so i came home and didnt feel tired.

For some stupid reason i brought up 2 tables of 200NL on UB. As usual the tables were quite fishy but i could not hit a fucking hand to save my life. I then proceeded to get my KK cracked twice for a fullbuyin each time by the same donk. He was like 35/10 over 100+ hands. One time He flops 2 pr w/KQ and the other time he flops a set on a Q84 flop with 44. My luck just seems to absolutely suck at 200nl. Its so frustrating to sit a table full of donks and miss every AK preflop, every draw, QQ getting minraised on Kxx flops. Just sick...I then semi tilted and played some 100NLHU on FT. I lost 2 buyins there, but one to a big missed draw (second pair+fd vs TPshitK) and one i got sucked out on for 1/2 a buyin. I played some more tonight and got back to even at the HU tables for the day...Tonight I also played some 100NL on PS and played ok. Didnt get much action on my big hands but still turned a slight profit...good thing or the day woulda been even worse lol...

Overall ive put myself back in the pitts this weekend. Gotta grind it out the rest of the month in hopes of breaking even...I can easily do it just gotta stick to 100NL and play smart, not when Im tired/hungover and angry (after a poor day at the golf course).

I reached GoldStar status on PS today and now have 16,500FPPs. Since I reached GoldStar, i will get twice as many points and should be able to build up quickly. I think I'm going to use them on the Samsung 20" LCD monitor which is only 28,000FPPs. I should be able to get that within a month or so...would be pretty sweet. I would save up for the 24" but its 40k more FPPs which would take awhile. I guess the FPPs are a sort of rakeback in a way. They do have some pretty sweet accessories and shit that aren't even too hard to get. Here's a pic of the monitor that costs 28k which i plan on getting...

Few hands, decent profit...

I haven't played too much in the past 2 days. Yesterday I planned on playing a decent session, but for some reason my PAHUD was not showing stats and im obviously addicted to having stats. When i first sat down, I went to look for 4 100NL tables but there was no good tables on PS, UB, or FT. I ended up sitting at 2 200NL tables for about 15 mins on FT and won about 1/2 a buyin. Once i realized PAHUD wasn't going to work I tried PS and UB. I played 4 100nl tables on both sites for about 15 mins each. I could not get PAHUD to work but still gained a decent profit.

Tonight I played for about 45 minutes after work. I do not play after midnight (my game suffers from fatigue that late on weeknights) and i didn't get home from work until around 10:45ish. I played 4 tables of 100NL on PS for the 45mins and netted a pretty good profit for the small amount of hands I played. Hopefully i can keep up the numbers and climb back to even and then some.

Turn around?

Ok, so first off some life stuff...my golf team had our first match of the year on thursday against our cross town rivals. They are horrible usually and we don't play them much as we are 4a and they are 3a. I come into the match feeling really good....

Hole #1: Perfect tee shot down the center of a short par 4. Nerves kill me and i blade a sw over the green ob, drop another ball, knock it to 10ft and 2 putt for double bogey. +2

#2: Perfect 4iron off the tee on this dogleg par 5. Perfect 3 wood on my second shot but hits the cart path and leaves me shortsided but pin high. I leave my pitch short of the green, despite the fact that i hit it exactly how i wanted. Chip gets bad kick, 2 putt for bogey. +3

#3: Perfect 7 iron to 10 feet. Drain putt for birdie. +2

#4: Big dogleg right, i decide to get cute and cut the corner. End up in the woods, punch hits a branch and falls down. Next shot goes up in the air and hits an overhanging branch around the green, goes into the edge of the woods but i cant find it so have to rehit. Hit the same exact fucking branch but this time it falls straight down. Pitch up to about 15 feet, 2 putt for 8! +6

#5: Perfect 4 iron off tee, wedge to center of green, 2 putt par. +6

#6: Chunk the shit out of GW off tee. Wedge just off back, 2 putt for bogey. +7

#7: Perfect 4 iron off tee, knock down 9 to about 20 feet, 2 putt par. +7

#8: Perfect driver off tee, wedge to about 10 feet, 2 putt par. +7

#9: Driver wayyy right into 8 fway, 9 iron to right of green, chip up, make putt +7.

42! Thats horrible at this course. The only holes that killed me were 1 and 4.

Ok so now to poker. Shit just hasnt been dropping my way. I got a friend to rail me for awhile on FT last night and he can attest to my bad luck. Every possbile bad situation comes up and i end up on the losing end. Calling stations catching hands....etc...its kinda bad. I played some today and managed to finish up 2 buyins but just pissed that all back on UB. Most of it when i flopped a set, and get all in on the turn when he turns an over set. That hand puts me at even....very frustrating...

(I'm gonna stick to 4 tabling 100NL for the rest of March and hopefully I can grind it back up to even or a small profit....i need a big run here shortly! Also I think i'm gonna try and get 1k UB points so i can convert for like 50$ and I'm gonna get PTO so I can track my omaha stats. Want to get into some omaha because apparently its dead money...SHIPIT $$$$)

BLAH....MONKEY TILT!!!!

So yesterday I played about 4k hands. I played about 2k 6 tabling 100nl on FT and about 2k 4tabling 200nl on PS. I ended up losing about a buyin at each level....heres some hands:

100NL on FT:

Hand#1:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880055
-Guy was awful. Had plenty of reads, and he was very capable of doing this with a wide range that didnt include a 5.

Hand#2:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880058
-Villian called a lot of flops, but folded a lot of turns. I hit my 3...he hits his straight...sweet

Hand#3:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880061
-Excellent RR pre....i guess thats what i get for slowplaying, but you cant 4bet EVERY time....

Hand#4:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880063
-Great call pre...howd you suckout to get THAT stack?(thnx for the river chk btw)

200NL on PS:

Hand#1:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880069
-sweet

Hand#2:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880074
-obv had reads....nh sir

Hand#3:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880077a

So overall yesterday, i finished down about 300$. And then I log onto UB tonight. Within 10 hands I drop a buyin. Then, within a few more, i drop another buyin. Both on ridiculous beats (will post). I continually miss flops, my cbets get raised, fail to hit in RR pots, and just get sucked out on...I dropped about 3.5 buyins....woohoo!

Hand#1:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880088
First buy-in dropped. He obv has a K....very nice fucking hand!

Hand#2:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880091
WAY TO FUCKING GO RETARD....who the FUCK gets all in pre with ATo? Does he think have have fucking A9 or KQ or something? And thank you UB for rubbing it in my face by giving me the fucking K on the turn...atleast let me resuck the fuck out by pairing the board....christ

Hand#3:http://www.pokerhand.org/?880095
Excellent 1 outer HU.....

Excellent night as you can see...



On a lighter note, a friend requested to see my setup and here it is....just a Dell desktop with a shitty CRT monitor (lookin for a new 20"+ one) and a badass chair i got free.....

March starting well...

So far, March has been going pretty good. The first day I mixed some 200NL on both PS and UB. I was up about 4 buyins quickly on PS but ended up only about 2.5BI there. I then played some UB and dropped a little over a buyin there. On the 2nd, I played a little over 1k hands of PS 200NL. Finished up a little less than a buyin there. This morning, a little hungover, I played about 900 hands 5 tabling 100NL on UB. I ended up 3 buyins there...




(Sorry for small pic, just cuts it off if I go any larger. Does anyone know how to host a picture somewhere so that it provides a smaller picture that can be clicked on and just shows a white page with the picture on it? I use photobucket, but it just takes you to the login screen when you click the image....where do others host their pictures besides photobucket and fileshack?)

Feb stats and 200NL

When i got home from golf practice today, UB was down for some reason. I really felt like playing some 200nl but UB was down so opened up 3 tables of 200nl on FT. I played 650 hands and was +120$. UB then started working so opened up 3 tables there. I played 500 hands there at +340$. Overall, I felt i played very well for my first time playing more than 2 tables of 200NL.

February was a very good month overall. I played almost soley cash games and managed to log 29k hands, which is a little over 1k/day which isnt bad. I took several days off and only played a limited amount other days. I feel like i could easily play 40k hands in March. 26k of the hands were at 100NL where I had a winrate of 4.9bb/100, which is pretty good overall. I also earned about 550$ (Not including tonight session) of RB which i will be cashing out to save. Here is a pic of my stats since Feb 1.......





Hand#1:http://www.pokerhand.org/?865483
I had the player marked as a donk, which he obviously was. The board was kind of draw heavy, and with 2 players behind me, i felt i had to raise here. He did the dirty work for with his TPSK. fwaaaaaatchhaaa....
