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.
