Last day is done, streak is broken :(

Last day of july. Running bad at PLO and then the natural swings of FLSH.

Hey guys. Just finished the last session for the day, had hopes of winning 649$ for the day to keep the "streak" going but no, I finished with a losing month. Started out the day with some PLO 0.25/0.5, lost 290$ which was 4 buyins under all in EV, then FL which started allright but then ImAhmaGL had the streak of his life. He is running just insane vs me in life. Noticed that I had 1,2k hands on him on this DB and he won 56% of all showdowns. That is insane but I guess it would be like 75% won vs me. The strange thing is that he is losing a bunch according to PTR. Or I guess, that goes for a lot of decent players. Because he is decent. Just superlucky. Today he made some retarded showdowns and 3outed me on the river, got higher 2pair then me  a bunch of times. I think only one hand held in a major pot, it was my set vs his AA. Was surprised that he did not have an overset.

Well well. So anyways, finished the day losing 550$. Gonna import my hands and try to break the month down. Obviously the worst month in long period of time but it is fine, glad it was not a bigger loss then a lot of time + a grand. These are the times where poker feels the shittiest but I am very hopeful for august. Feels like I am playing decently and I have a good life routine now.

PS: Noticed that I havnt added one of the nicknames on the computer. Add $200 to the daily loss and that downturn there. Yucck!!!

Maybe hope for 10th consecutive winning month?


Been playing a bunch more after 15th of july and will finish up around 26k hands instead of the normal 10-15k before. The math that I study at home is starting to disturb me, my mind is a lot slower then it was, never felt less intelligent then now but I also feel quite happy otherwise so its fine. It is impacting my play and my mind a bit.

The result for july right now is -650$ and even thou poker should be regarded as a lifelong session, I like to win every month. So I am very tempted to make a big grind today and turn it around, even thou a breakeven month is still an awful result, especially when I have grinded a bit more.
Not really sure where the cash has leaked and so on, been playing on 2 computers, gonna go and calculate and evaluate this later. Btw, did I tell you that sugarsync is my new favorit app/softare and it helps me to sync my HHs easier. Its like dropbox but 10 times as great and a lot more space.  Sorry for going all "commercial" and all but I truly love this software so I dont really feel so embarrased by inviting/recommending anyone, we both get 500 mb as a referal bonusthing. Please leave a comment with ur email if you are interested.

Believe that I have lost a bunch in FLSH (like first time in my life) + at NL but been winning decently at PLO and FLO8. Anyways, not important to summarize this now without the data, gonna do a report tomorrow.

So anyways, been winning  last week and got 550$ more yesterday so wish me luck so that I can get into green again!

Running bad x10

Hey guys. Been playing but every session I quit, I just feel like hiding under a rock. Been running pretty horribly, to say the least. Not gonna tell badbeats but there has been A LOT. Today I played decently, apparently won 1,59 bb/100 but lost 500$ more which sucks. Constantly have had really low won at sd-number but also have had really high wtsdnumbers. I think I have been playing pretty well but I will doublecheck that I do not become a showdown-monkey and keep that in mind.

Looks like I am having my first losing month in 9-10 months. Am down around 1500$ WITH rakeback etc and only one week to go. Have been considering laying a bit higher since I have gotten into some cash from other source and told myself I can move up some but it doesnt really feel right so Ill permanently abandon that idea for at least 2-3 weeks. Just gonna grind 2/4-4/8 for this period and perhaps even play some 1/2 if the action is not good enough.

Btw, I am looking at my stats now. Played 11400 hands of flsh and lost 2644$. Losing at a rate of -0,96 BB/100 and wtsd is at the extremly high 46.3% (thou there are a bunch of succesful players with this WR) but the very low 46,9% of won sds. Would definetly say that the last week of grinding has have had the higher quality of play and lost like 2k$ there so I dunno. As I said, gonna work on been a bit less of a SD-muppet.

Played 1562 hands of PLO and am running a tad under EV but winning 107$ and 11,37 BB/100! Obviously no sample size worth mentioning.

Also played 776 hands of omaha hi/lo fixed and won 230$. Thats basically on 5/10$ exclusivly.

Ohh, I believe I have lost a bunch of the cash I have won at a propsite on NL. That is where I have ran the worst in terms of like, big hands in a short period of time. Lost like 900€ all in on turn with more then 70% EQ in 6-7 pots and some other stuff not very pleasant.

So the plan is just to keep on grinding FL 6max and perhaps mix in some other games. Been watching a few vidz of PLO lately. It feels like my FL-game is a lot more stable while I can play PLO decently at times but then I play like shit. Just have to play a bunch more hands and hopefully some spots will become more and more standard so to speak and I will have a better B-game.

Ciao!

Quick rant..

Doesnt seem to matter which game I play, I just run bad. Started up 0.5/1€ NL on a propsite on the mobile, took 3 hands b4 I got it all in on turn (I bought in for 60 BBs) on 9774 with T9 vs AK and of course I lost that too.

Was thinking about going to play HU FL but even thou I am decent at it then I usually prefer just to grind it out on 6max FL which is less swingy. Gonna record a few videos I think, a bit problematic thou since I do not have a mic on my desktop computer but I dont know, maybe ill record the voice afterwards. That is not perfect since half of the reason I record videos is to sharpen my focus a bit further.

Well well. Im aiming to play 5 hours today in 3 sessions, then study some PLO. Ciao

PS: Updated the monthly result. Not a very impressive number :(.

OUUCH!

Continuing to lose big amounts of BBs. Maybe made a few misstakes here and there but playing 1400 hands with won at sd på 42,6% (even thou my wtsd was very high) is pretty sick. Gonna exclude 5/10 for awhile and hope to run a bit better. Not gonna tell badbeat stories.

Havnt felt affected by pokerresults in like a year but losing 2100$ in 2 days at lowstakes (2/4-5/10) actually stings. Hope I can turn it around soon. Peace out.

Disaster day :(

The return to online poker was not a good one. Started out running bad and losing 260$ in 30 min on mobile as I mentioned b4 but then I played at other tables for 2 hours, ran extremly poorly in one single 5/10$ (while winning at the other tables) with some fish and lost 900$ on that table, winning 28% of showdowns after 300 hands. When I was down 400$ on that table I asked myself if I should play 5/10$ but then I realized then I thought that it would all just ride out.

Got oversetted 4-5 times, 2outered and 3bet on turn with KJ vs Q8 on K8JQ and he spiked a 8 etc etc. Was up 700$ for the month but that is obviously gone now.

Formatted my older computer and installed HM2 fresh. Cannot access the HM2-reports now which is kinda frustrating. Gonna play later tonight and hope to get that back. Ciao

Back on the grind!

Hello! Did the math-exam this friday, probably blew it and finished my last stuff yesterday. Now I am finally having a worry-free summerbreak and not this have-to-practice-linear-algebra-soon-kinda mentality. Also am back in sweden now so I can access all pokersites again. Played briefly this weekend and won 400$ but unfortunatly lost 260$ in the 30-minute bus ride from the airport back home, flopped midset vs topset vs a fish and some PLO-hands that were not so fun. I plan to grind around 4-5 hours per day this week, maybe even more but I have to make sure that I play with energy. I seem to more or less always win every month as long as I only play a little and usually the worst months ever are when I play loads. Would like to play in the morning/day and then take a long break and come back during the night but will probably stick to FLSH for awhile and if I am not misstaken then the games are very dry during the day. Dont want to play much other then FLSH 2/4-5/10$ so that limits me a bit.

Gonna start watching some PLO-videos during the day as well btw and try to study that a bit more then I previously have done. Gonna assign 2-3 hour sessions which hopefully get me started there better then b4 when I watched like 30 minute videos once in awhile.

More problems with the spanish poker regulations

Gaah! In the beginning of june/july, the access to online pokersite while in spain was getting harder and harder. A few sites blocked me and the number kept growing. It was allright thou because the 2-3 I played most at did not. Now thou, they do :(. Could be cool to play at spanish poker sites but I dont think the tax regulation of pokerstars.es has changed and apparently the winning spanish players avoid that site since the tax situation states that even losing players would have to pay hefty tax since it is interpretted as paying tax on each winning hand seperatly, nondeductable rom losing hands. Am not very interested in reading into this stuff right now but I guess I should do it pretty soon.

Anyways, this virtually means im without poker, or there is only one small site that allows me to play from here, with generelly not that many games going. Ohh well, I guess I can focus more on having a good vacation then. Hehe. And play more livepoker in the future.

Drunk poker and panic

Hey guys. Have written some stuff but just wanted to add some strategy but am a bit worried about my calculus exam and try to focus on that. Been playing and winning. Played twice in the casino and lost a small of mount of money and got heavily slowrolled both times and online has been decent as well for the few hours Ive actually spent there. Almost never play drunk poker but did so yesterday and unfortunatly it cost me $400 even thou I was a massive favorite in a 470€ pot all in 3way on turn but mr flushdraw got it so cannot complain too much.

Have formatted and fixed my computers now and it appears that my ultrabook is probably too weak to be called an ultra. Checked out the windows performance index and both my 2-3 year old computers beat the crap out of it. Gonna install all poker on the big old midtower-computer and grind on that again for the summer. The 30"incher has its full resolution with it so thats nice.

So expect fewer update from me until my exam that is next week.
