There you go

I did what I wrote in the last post and that’s good. If I quit earlier then I would have a little profit too but that’s okay.

Today’s stats

As you see, NL25 is killing me but on NL50 I’m still winning. I don’t know the answer, maybe just the short term… Anyway, this is the better option I think :-)

Today’s graph – I started the 2nd session (NL50) at the bottom.

I’m a fuckin idiot and this is a fuckin bad joke, but I can’t laugh...

Every time when I say something positive about my game, my play or myself the very next session is a nightmare. Just like a fuckin bad joke from above.

I was tiltless for a long time, I enjoyed to play poker and didn’t care bad luck etc. And you know what? I still don’t care them. I just sit out because I couldn’t win a single SD hand on that fuckin NL25 level.

Do I have AA? Never mind, river gives trips to his trash. Do I have top 2 on the turn? Never mind, river gives him better 2. Do I have middle (over) pair on the flop vs a half buyin total monkey? Never mind, this is the time, when he has a bigger one.

So something like that.

I’m going to take a shower, make love then eat those fishes one after another. No problem, no hard feeling. This is my job, to eat them and enjoy their money. And this is exactly what I’m going to do.

Cheers

Welcome Mr $2k BR!

Yeah baby, here we are! One nice NL50 hand and I’m over that $2000 finally. I’m so happy so I need to stop and write this down. And my target just left the table, so that’s another reason :-)

There were ups and downs in the last couple of sessions. The fanny thing is that: I’m up on NL50 but down on NL25. Maybe I need to forget that level… Just kidding, I’m still an NL25 player I think.

Here is THE hand:   http://weaktight.com/2728609

Target is 56/6/48. 

The read is: post flop he is an agro monkey, if you check then he bets any streets, especially if he has a piece of the board. I folded vs him before with TPWK hand but see him to do this w total air vs others.

Another NL50 session

Till the next cash out I will play NL25 generally + I scan NL50 and if there is any fish who I know (from my level) than I’ll open it too. There is no more fear in my mind!

Back to the NL25 tables

After I watched Steve plays at NL200/400 I was very impressed and I decided to play some poker tonight. So after everybody went to the bed (actually my mother in law in ours, so my wife sleeping here, just few feet from my computer) I started it.

And this one went well. I lost all ins, been lucky once and overall I played really well. More 3bets and 4bets than usual – thanks for Steve’s game.

Anyway, I grind that money back that I lost with my first NL50 shot. To be honest, I’m thinking about another one tomorrow. We’ll see...

First shot at NL50

Wasn’t that bad honestly. There was a little fear of course and made some mistakes but feel much better than I thought so.

BR-move

I cash out my BR from Pokerstars and put a decent amount back on my Full Tilt one where it originally came from.

The reasons:

• since I’m a full time player I’m learning much more, playing better but less
• I don’t have enough time for both of my accounts yet
• I’d like to move up to NL50 asap so I need a BR to do that

I’d like to use Steve’s color system and NL50 is a clear field where I don’t need to change hundreds of colors to do that.

Yesterday

I had an interesting day. The first 600 hands weren’t optimal. I think my table and/or seat selection was the main reason of that horrible wosd. I folded a lot of 3bet pots vs agro fishes where I had just an A high for example. I was waiting for better spots and I had some so overall the result wasn’t that bad. Anyway I need to review the marked hands at least.

Come' on man

This is sick. I said something positive yesterday about me and this level. Since that point my game is a shit. I have no answers when this happens with me. And this is not the first time...

Yesterday full

 

Today 1st

My stats were between 18/15 and 24/20 till that point, since that it's about 15/13. I need a little break I think.

I’m f*n angry now

I played very well in my 1st session today. I start to using a stopwatch to play 90 mins sessions a couple of days ago.

I received the first huge slap in the eightieth minute and the second one in the last.

The first was vs a 23/17/38 reg. I decide it on the flop to go all the way down with my hand that’s why I didn’t bet the turn. I didn’t want to give him a chance to fold his weaker hand. Maybe that was a fault on this draw heavy board. Anyway I had him and we shoved when I was a 86-14 fav. Man, I hate that river...

The second one was vs the main target at this table. Mr Simplemind26. His nick is very reasonable I think…

He is 48/12/24 with 12% ch/r

I like paired flops, less chance for a set so I don’t think that I need to fold here. He could have draws, middle (over) pairs like 88, 99. He is not a huge 3better pre so maybe TT as well.

It happened in the last minute so I didn’t have any chance to win it back or do stupid things… I just hate it. You know when you really wanted to do something but there is no more chance to do it. Damn, I hate that feeling too...

Not a happy end...

Without a huge mistake

Today was a good day in so many ways:

• I slept more than 3 hours. Sounds ridiculous but this is the most in the last 10 days or so.  Maybe I found the right medicine finally for my allergy. 
• I didn’t do any huge mistake for stack at the start (I did it once in every session in the last few days)
• I reviewed the first group coaching session video and that helped me a lot to get back my aggression (3bets, 4bets). You know when I was sick I played a little bit too passive.  My brain didn’t work well so I tried to save my ass from the thought spots.

I did it again!

I had a hard week (personally and poker too) and I cannot play at this weekend again but I’ll try to update this blog because there is a lot to talk about it. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll try my best.
