Biggest session yet in 100nl...

Sorry for lack of updates. Was at my brother's house in Wilmington all this weekend. Didn't get much playing time there. Played about 1k hands last night. Had a bunch of tough situations and the session came down to one hand at the end. Guy sucked out for full buyin. Woulda put me at even, instead finished down 2 buyins. I was kinda pissed about that because I havent had too many losing sessions at 100nl this month. Tonight i sat down and started slow but then went on a tear....it seemed every big hand got paid off and it seemed like there was a lot of donks on tonight. Here's a pic...



Hand#1:(Hand from above the fucked my session last night)http://www.pokerhand.org/?862271
Player is horrible. Have several notes on how bad he is...doh

Hand#2:(From last night)http://www.pokerhand.org/?862274
Great call preflop...being so short no way I'm really getting away.

Hand#3:(From tonight)http://www.pokerhand.org/?862280
This guy likes to mix it up. Plays a lot of marginal hands and plays them awkwardly. I felt the turn bet may have been a steal. If he bets river I'm gone. SHIPITTTTTT on the 2 outer...

Hand#4http://www.pokerhand.org/?862290
Player seems really donkish. I don't think he's raising the flop with a set here. If he has K9 nice fucking hand but I'm not getting away here. The turn Q scared me but he flips KJ much to my relief...

Ok I'm done for now. Tomorrow is last day of the month so i should have a monthly report (similar to January) up sometime in the next few days....

Ugh..

Ugh...had a big long post typed out, hit preview to look at it, hit back and it was gone. Fuck that. Im going to Wilmington this weekend to go fishing so will probably just play some tournies down there (no PT)....

Stats since Sunday:

You decide..

Think it's broke? It looks 10x better today than it did yesterday...

Broken toe?

So i think i broke my toe today. At the very least its a massively bruised toe. A friend and I were moving a bench we sit on every morning at school when all of a sudden he dropped it. It landed straight on my big right toe and i instantly thought it was broken. Kind of sucks as we had our second day of golf practice (started last week but crappy weather cancelled all but mondays practices). I tried to play but it was almost impossible to follow through. I played alright considering, and actually made 2 pars in 6 holes. Not too bad considering i could barely walk and it was cold as shit once the sun started setting. Will post pics tomorrow of my toe. Its very big and completely black and blue. Hopefully it still looks as bad tomorrow for a picture haha...

Played some on UB when i got home from practice. Logged close to 1500 hands at 100NL. Was very up and down. Played 2 sessions and finished up 1 buy in in the first one. I got all in pre wtih QQ against a maniac only to have him flip KK. Could have been a +3 BI session. Second session was crazy from the start. 2 tables i couldnt miss, and 2 tables i couldnt hit. I played for about 2 hours and finished up $1.80 in the second session. Better than losing, and with RB its more.

Poker

Things have been going quite well lately. Been playing mostly on UB but did get in about 1k hands on FTP this morning for 1.5 buyins. I havent played much this weekend but last week i really pounded it, trying to get 2000 UBpoints and getting $.075 per point instead of the usual $.05. I was able to succeed and converted my points for $160.18. This is a very nice promo (even though its been going on since Dec. I believe) and really makes me want to play there. Its a guaranteed 75$/week if you only get 1500 pts. With 2000pts/week, you are guaranteed 150$/week and 600$/month. This is very sweet and I'm def cashing all of my bonuses out. Since my last post, I have logged 10k hands, with about 9200 of them at 100nl and the other 800 at 200nl. I took a few shots on UB at 200NL and i seriously can not catch a break. I seem to run into cooler after cooler (KK vs AA obv.) and havent hit a draw. For the week I was up $830 at 100nl and down 821$ at 200nl(ugh). I broke even for the week, but really am disppointed about my 200nl stats. I played well too which is even more frustrating.

Didn't do much this weekend. Friday I just went to my GFs house and hung out with her all night. Came home around 330 and passed out hard. Woke up around 11 on sat, tried to play but was still very tired and played poorly. Then i went to the Wake Forest v. Miami game. Wake won, but tried to piss it away at the end. Last night I went to a friends house and did some partying, got a little drunk. Think I might go play some golf this afternoon, since my senior year of golf started last week. We are very pumped up about the season and have 5 retunrning seniors. Hopefully we can go pretty deep, will let post results and what not from the season. Alright Im gonna go eat some lunch. GL at the tables...

Still running HOTTTT....

So i have been running crazy hot since the beginning of February...I have only been playing 100nl on UB (building up UB points to convert and 30%RB=very nice side profit)...yesterday i played about 1600 hands and finished up about 2.5 buyins...I played some very early this morning (1am-230am) and managed to get in about 600 hands with a profit of a little over 1.5 buyins....I played 1000 hands when i woke up this morning and won exactly 3 buyins ($300.90)...

Here are my stats for 100nl since Feb 1st after 11k hands:



Hand #1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?813360
I honestly don't know what this guy was doing...i guess he thought i was bluffing or had KQ?? Either way i'll take it haha...

Running well...

I didn't play on Sunday because i was pretty hungover from the night before and didn't really feel like tilting away any money which was good...just watched the superbowl (LAME!) with some friends...today i came home after school and got about 1k hands in winning about 280$, took a break and got dinner and went to YoungLife...came home and played about 1k more hands and won 255$...i should have been up about 175$ more but i accidentally timed out of a hand with the 4th nuts (will post HH)...it was very shitty but oh well...i have set a goal to not play after midnight on nights when i have school in the morning because i feel like my quality of play drops tremendously after midnight...obv i will go late into the nights on weekends....i set up my DVDr the other day to start recording Poker After Dark everynight so im gonna start watching that if it worked last night...

Hand #1(Very GAYYYYY hand): http://www.pokerhand.org/?798038
I was just about to click bet (already had 70$ typed in) when my cards were mucked...i got this very shitty feeling and yelled pretty loud...im sure he woulda called the raise too because he wasnt very good and who can fold the nut straight? I didnt even see the 10sec thing pop up and i was trying to talk myself into raising bc i knew he didnt have JJ or TT...oh well...

Hand #2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?798043
Pretty sick hand...

Hand #3:http://www.pokerhand.org/?798044
I got berated after this hand haha...he was a big donk and i knew he had AK and if he had AA or QQ, oh well, im paying off a donk everytime here with top 2 in a RR pot....

February off to a good start...

So I've decided that i'm going to concentrate most of my play on UB simply because of the RakeBack and the UltimatePoints bonus they have...I can easily obtain enough points within the week to get $50+ from this promotion wish is very sweet...also i get 30% Rakeback which is sweet...not including todays sessions, i have about 150$ sitting in rakeback and i think i get that on the 15th of each month...i think i'm going to start withdrawing all of the money i make from rakeback and keeping it for myself...the only problem with playing strictly UB is the fact that there is lots of regulars but most play abc poker and if I can avoid playing big pots with them I should do alright...I really want to get some $ on FTP because they offer rakeback as well...btw, if anyone would be willing to trade PS$ for FTP$ let me know, as i would like to do about 2k in transfers...but overall i've played 3k hands this month and im up 4 buyins on UB, down about 1/2 buyin on PS and i played some 50nl HU on ub in which im up about 2/3 of a buyin...overall im pleased with my start of the month and i hope i can keep it up for a big month...

Hand #1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?792536
VidaGuerra is one of those regulars i was talking about in which i try to avoid big pots...he/she plays at about 11/9 over 125 hands...i knew he was strong raising UTG and i planned on checking down if i missed the flop...the flop was a beauty for my hand and i was more than willing to get all of my chips in...finally luck is on my side and i scoop a nice pot...

Hand #2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?792541
This guy had been playing pretty crappy and played this hand very awkwardly...I thought he might have KK when he c/c the flop but when he led the turn with a psb, i knew my AA was good...why would he pot it in my mouth when i just bet the flop if he had the goods? his call was pretty bad but hey ill take it...

January...

Overall was a very successful month...I started the month with $2770.24 in my UB account and $443.21 in my PS account. On UB I won a feed for a 100+9 ticket and used those TD's towards other tournies. I also finished 6th in a 20$ tourney for 132$. On PS I won the 3$r early on for 4416$, and also won a seat to the Sunday Million via DS. I played in the SM and came very close to the money but did not cash. I played a bunch of other tournies on both sites with little results. This is where the majority of the money i lost this month was, MTTs.

SNG wise, i didnt play too many. I was down about 100$ in SNGs on PS and up about 50$ on UB. I spent the majority of my time playing cash games this month. I came into the month playing 50nl only on UB (way over rolled) and no cash games on Stars. Now i am 4 tabling both but have been on a horrible run of late. I still finished up on the month about 250$ in cash games across both sites. I did take a few shots at 200nl (I have the roll but want to beat 100nl first) and dropped 300$ there over 1k hands. I managed to play 29,800 hands overall this month and I am very pleased with this. Although my results struggled due to the negative end of variance, i hope to come back strong next month. Overall I am very pleased with my start to 2007 and I am well on my way to my goal of 25,000.

Total Overall: $7117.74
Change: +$3904.29
Goal: $17882.26

Ugh...terrible downswing...

The last week has been absolutely horrible. I could be on the losing end of every hand i play no matter what. The suckouts have been horrendous and the coolers are out of control. I have dropped a good amount on both PS and UB but hopefully its just variance...i played a short session of 100nl on PS after workouts today and did alright, finishing up about 1.5 buyins. I played another session tonight and dropped about 1/2 a buyin on a gay hand (will post)...

I played a bunch of tournies and got donked out of most of them tonight. I started with the 1$ turbo on UB. Had a top 20 stack with 90 left (70 paid) and a shorty goes all in for like 3xbb and the other bigstack at my table just calls. I reraise all in with ATo from the BB. He thinks forever and calls with AK haha, oh well...I also played the 20$ 2500grntd on UB. I doubled very early when i turned a flush against AA. I picked up some pots here and there and quickly we were down to about 26 players when an interesting hand came up...

9 Players, Blinds 200/400 ante 50?, about 7800 stack

5 folds, Bigstack raises to 1400, Hero calls with AJo, SB/BB fold

Flop: KhKcTs
Bigstack Checks, Hero checks.

Turn Qs
Bigstack bets 400, Hero reraises 2000 to 2400, Bigstack calls

River Qc
Bigstack bets 400, Hero calls

Bigstack shows AQ
Hero mucks


Very gay 4 outer that would have put me in the top 4. I end up going out 21st with 20 paying. I also played a double shootout to the million on stars, lost that, the 10$ 15kg, and the 10$ 1 R/a tourney.....overall i felt i played well in the UB tourney but what can you do...


Hand #1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?781951
-Once he smooth calls the C/R i really feel like im beat but can't fold in the heat of the moment...even if i check the turn and he pushes i think i'd have to call getting about 3:1 with TPTK...oh well
