BUUUU

Whatsup? Today I played 1k hands and lost unfortunatly. Down about 260 euro to retards. Played some halfweak players HU though which just is a variance rollercoaster which I mostly like to avoid. A friend visited another friend in the house and he came by a little. Usually I dont care much and played well in the beginning but I think I lost focus awhile, I should probably practice some saying to like promptly get someone to leave with insulting them. Because once I start to think of a way while playing, I lose focus, hahaha.

First I lost with a huge hand HU then I decided to quit the session after this hand;

Poker Stars, $2/$4 Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players (!!!)
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5 5
SB raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls

Flop: (6 SB) 6 6 5 (2 players)
Hero bets, SB calls

Turn: (4 BB) A (2 players)
Hero bets, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, SB caps, Hero calls

River: (12 BB) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls

Results: 20 BB pot (0.1 BB rake)
Final Board: 6 6 5 A 7
SB showed 6 A and won 19.9 BB (9.9 BB net)
Hero showed 5 5 and lost (-10 BB net)

Pretty superaggro river4bet which I regret. Everything else is just fine given the dynamics and most other situations too.

Januari looks a bit grimmer but I mean, I am allright and nice to still see a "play-profit" as well as earning FPPs in well above supernova-pace. Had a real strong feeling for poker almost all month but now I would rate the urge as "average". 17,3k hands played and WR of 1,06 BB/100 as well as a very high WTSD 47,6% which makes the W$SD of 46,5% a bunch harder to evaluate. I am truly wondering if HM2 has a bug or so, for like 2m hands I have had wtsd of 39-42% every single month and I dont believe I have made much change. Or i dont know, doesnt care so much right now. Bye!

Update

Today.

Been focusing on 2/4e only and been doing good generally, looks like the month is gonna be fine. Today have been eventfull, I first one a bunch, then won more and then lost it all very quickly. It seems I forgot some hands on the mobile so add another 200$ in loss there. Was about to end the session just and instead of lying +200-400euro all day, I dropped like 400 dollars in 100 hands which always is enjoyable. Its fine thou, i feel i played great all day and lost shitloads of hands on setups. Actually lost 300$ in total. Won 2 buyins in PLO thou but I actually did two suckouts in strange spots. Could try to post the hand but I 3bet pre with 9876 and I believe a guy donked out on the flop 976 and I shoved since I thought it would be unlikely that he would have very many T8xx out of position but that he did :D. Biinked a 9 on the river, mohahaha. Lucky in that sense.

Ohh well, still has a decent WR of 1,59 BB/100 over 16k hands for the month for FLSH and I have a lust for playing which is nice. Baby steps. Gonna continue playing 2/4€ as planned at 30k SEK for the year. Since there is no 3/6e so far at pokerstars.es then I think I will change the targets with 100k profit to play 5/10€ down quite a lot, 60k winnings should be fine and still very conservative. The biggest problem is the amount of tables more the swings actually. Would have no problem 4tabling 2/4€ for a long time but that rarely happens due to the traffic so on average I probably have like 2,3 tables going at once which doesnt equate a very high hourly wage. But I do love to play on the pokerstars-app while doing some other stuff so I guess I also have to factor that in heavily and somewhat forget the idea of an hourly wage. Btw, I am still shocked that pokerstars doesnt offer "send all hands played on mobile device".

Backlash!

Ouuch! Got a pretty heavy backlash today. Am continuing to play 2/4€ only but started out with some PLO today recording a video. I have the video uploaded but it was not that great, went all in 5 times within the first 50 hands and lost all and boom, i was down 5 buyins.

Then for the second session I just played FLSH and just ran like hell. Played 911 hands for the day and won 38,9% of showdowns which is at least top10 alltime low of all time and if you filter out more than 500 hands then it must be top 3.

With that in mind plus the fact that I think I played focused then I am totally OK with the loss. Lost 5350 SEK netto with RB, won 5950 kr the other day so you know, shit happens.

Tomorrow I believe I will recieve my first "reward" for winning at poker 2013, bought some awesome clocks and a bag from an awesome website (asos.com) which is nice. Even though money is money and pokerwinnings and cashing out should not in theory fluctuate depending on your short term results then I am still a fan on rewarding yourself now and then and it also motivates me a little more.

Btw, gonna increase my exercising schedule from 3x gym + 1x soccer per week to 6x gym + 2x football from now on and it feels great. Switched to the gym in campus which allows me some options like running to/from school, do short exercises on breaks as well as saving some time on transportation as well.

Might stop playing on the computer but try to play as much on the app as possible. Like lunch breaks, bussrides, extra slow lessons etc. We will see. Bye!

Booom! Pwning it up at the smallstakes!

Up 757 bbs and +3,15 BB/100!

Whataaap!? With me it is great. Been playing on pokerstars.es this month on FLSH and been crushing it. Just passed 12k hands for the month, up 1540$ in play with a 3,15 BB/100 winrate which feels just awesome after a period of bad results. Rediscovered the pokerstars app and its simply just great, only problem is with the hand history + some features that would be nice. Find it a bit silly that you can only request 100 last hands, think they should really work a feature that would give us that wants all our data in like "request all hands from the pokerstars app". Anyways, been playing a bunch there and tried to request and import most of the hands but probably failed.

HM2 unfortunatly has started to lag a bunch, not sure if I made something with my computer or not, it feels in general a bit slower. It is a bit sad since I only have my memory and the colorcoding to rely on when it starts to lag, it is very possible that I switch back to HM1 since I always find the HUD a lot more responsive and less laggy but then obviously I have to reimport, add aliases and do all that shizzle which is not so fun. Its a pretty decent new computer btw (icore5 1,5 year old) but I do look forward towards when haswell comes in june. The plan is to most probably by the newest zenbook with haswell (depending on price and stuff of course) and that will bring me a new fresh computer. Have a strong urge to play some computergames btw, skyrim seems awesome.

Gonna continue to play but not sure about the volume. I have 3g on my phone and thus have the ability to play a little on the app (onetabling FLSH can be done without losing ability to talk etc :)) but we just started the semester and the speed is very likely to pick up very soon. We will see how it goes but right now it obviously feels great! So according to my limits I set b4 about stakes then it means that I have to stay awhile at 2/4€ still (up 15k sek for the year, set 2/4 until 30k) and I dont really mind at all. Too bad pokerstars.es have removed the 3/6€-tables so the next step is 5/10. Hopefully I will continue to have a nice winrate and continue to be content playing 2/4 and a bit of 1/2.

WIii, going better, 2,7 BB/100 for 8,5k so far in jan

Going a bit better. Today I ran good, hit a lot of stuff. Have had some software problems. This is a lot more annyoing than connection problems because pokerstars.es just freezes up, it works on the other computer at the same time and it never reconnects. Today it froze 5 times in one hour and had basically the nuts in a big pot and folded to one bet on the river. That was frustrating. Not sure what to do, uninstalled and went manually thru the register so I hope a reinstall will do it. It was so freaking tilting to see it just freeze. More tilting than every badbeat ever.

So far in january in FLSH

Anyways, I guess I cannot be all that mad, have gone allright since the switch even thou I easily could lose the 220ish BBs won pretty quickly. +2,7 BB/100 over 8500 hands.

Yeay! 2013 starts off nicely

Tssup guys!? How is everything? Here it is great, I have ran really well since I switched back for FLSH, winning almost every day for 2013 at lower stakes, mainly 2/4 even thou the plan was to play 1/2$ for longer. It just feel senseless to have so many big bets in such a small game.

Here are the daily winnings this year;

+$82

+$70

+$282

+$140

-$205

+$349


Been playing some mixed games at the same stakes, its so fun but the traffic isnt that great there. The spanish players are not very good at FLSH, they openlimp a lot and most regulars are pretty bad. There is especially one that I have been playing a lot with, he is probably a winner in the games but he is just over the top aggressive every single time and it is sooo easy playing him. Today thou it felt like he had adopted vs me but he still gets overaggressive but I did make some planned c /r-attempts today that he probably would have bet/called thinly for value or bluffed with air b4 but now he checked behind so my adoptation to his relentless aggression was at times misplaced too.

Btw, have also been recording some high stakes mixed + PLO-games, hope to be able to go thru them and analyze and learn some stuff and make another attempt at switching over to PLO later on.

These days thou feel like there is totally enough action for me if I am content playing 1/2 and 2/4 and start games but it is also very possible that I will get bored later on.

So good start of the year!

Woho, good start for 2013 at least!

The switch back to FLSH feels good, won a small victory first day, was up 150 BBs the second day but finished +60 and now today I am up another 80 BBs, half from FLSH and half from a nice 8game-mix 2/4€ HU-session I played vs a fish. Well, actually, I noted him as a FLSH-fish but I think he played a lot better in the 8game mix in general even thou he did some stuff I considered pretty fishy too. Had a plan just to lose maximum 80€ to him and I was close to drop that but left the table with 210€ mostly after he tried to push me off toppair with his flushdraw and it held all in in the NL-round.

Up 180$ for the day so I am up the enourmous sum of 330$ for the year and maybe 200$ extra in RB. Feels good to get 3 decent results in and hopefully if it continues then staying at these low stakes would be a very short-term thing.

Back to FLSH, at least temporarily

Hi!

Happy new year everyone. Ill might post some year-end review but as you might have expected, the year went from pretty okay to pretty awful. A bit sad since I was winning 9 months in a row and then july came and started losing more or less every month.

Anyways, as you know, the PLO-project didnt go all that well, "only" lost 1k$ but I didnt real think that thing thru properly, I need to do the switch but to go all in for a "new" game when the bankroll is at all time low now seems like a pretty dumb idea. What one should do in these situations is to go back to what you know, drop down in stakes and just try to grind a roll back up again.

So instead of continuing with PLO, I will go down as low as 1/2$ and just grind a bunch and go very slow about it. Decided that 10k SEK for the year is the limit for only 1/2$, up between 10-30k is the limit for 2/4$ and then 30-100k SEK should only be for 3/6$. And maybe there sometime I will try another all in PLO-thingy again.

Would love to post more happy posts about cool graphs etc but that is unfortunately not the case this last quarter.

One good thing thou is that I have a nice urge for poker now actually and started out today with winning 600 SEK at 1/2$. Hope to reach 10k SEK for the year soon.
