NOt really the month I was hoping for...

I’ve decided I need to keep a lot of money in my FTP account when playing. I have a mental block or something because when my account is at 11k (even though I have tons of other money other places) it just seems like 1k is a HUGE hit even though its only 2.5 buy ins at 400 NL. It’s a pretty big problem I think and the only solution is just to keep 15-16k at all times. I just have to stop investing in such donks.

The month didn’t end nearly as well as I had hopped. I ended up $3,392. If you don’t’ count all the donking around I did (lol 5/10 limit) it would be closer to $5k. I also probably lost about 3k in MTT’s. So that’s even for me playing poker, woot! The good news is that I made a bunch at staking, probably close to 3 or 4k.

I think I’ll post this. Was just AIMing a friend about hands and firing off my thoughts. If anybody reads this blog they might find the hands and my thought process interesting. On another note, if you actually do read this blog, please leave a comment and let me know. I know I’ve said this before but I feel like some PTPers might actually read it now.

Winning more $$$

I put in a very good session today and ended up $2450 playing most 2/4. I woke up around 12:00 and was actually going to put in a huge tourney day so I booted up all the noon tournies and got about 8 going. Naturally I run super bad and get frusterated and stop registeresting for tournies and finish up the ones I have (which is obv super easy when you run bad.) ala I do some quick AA<55, style=""> Just such sick beats. Whatever.

So I take a break and go to Safeway to buy all sorts of delicious food. On a side note, Santa Cruz had a ridiculous number of bums/homeless which makes any outing interesting. Every time I go to Safeway (where the bums tend to congregate), there is always a huge party outside- people drinking, etc. So far nothing too crazy has happened but when it does…my loyal readership will be the first to know.

So anyway, food in hand I head back, watch some CR vids and get excited about playing. I reg for nightly hundred grand and the 50/50’s and boot up some 2/4 tables. And boom, 4 hours later or whatever I’m up 2500 in cash and down a couple hundred in tournies. Now I’m going to drink some gin and tonics and watch TV.

Ah, the life.

Here is something that I’m still trying to work on and had some discussion on 2p2 about. So I called the 3-bet in position with QJ because it was an agreesive match and hit top pair. Now I posted a hand on 2p2 similar to this and they pretty much said what is the point of calling a 3-bet with a hand like QJo if you are not willing to get it AI when you flop top pair? Even though I know 100% I’m beat after you 3-bets over me on the flop. Who knows. I don’t think this hand is THAT bad but I don’t’ think its optimal either.

I'm also on track to hit 10k for the month even though I was even on the 25th and hardly played at all.

Sick sick day at 2/4

Played a pretty long session today at 2/4 where the donks just kept rolling in. I felt like I played really good poker and even when I got bad beat I just kept on grinding which is something I really have to work as normally I'll quite after one bad beat.

I ended the session up just under 6 buy ins. Its too bad that I was playing so bad earlier this month and donking around at 5/10 limit or I could have shown a decent profit for the month. I've still got six days though! My goal is to get total profit for the month to $10k+ and if I play enough hands (1k+ a day) and run decently well, I should make it there.

I'm stupid

eh, I'm pretty stupid. Played a bit early today and got up like 400 then came back later and dropped 600 being stupid. Then I got even stupider, drank two beers and decided to play Stars and dropped another 200. So eh, down 800 today.

On better note, I went to class today and it seems like its going to be a pretty easy summer. Econ is pretty easy to begin with and marketing econ is the easiest course ever. Its just going to go super fast and be a lot of reading. We'll see how the history of China class goes tomorrow.

peace.

Such sexyaments

It feels good to put in some hands and win some money. Talk about freaking swongy though. Freaking jesus these guys were so bad but I couldn't hit jack Fing shit.

Was a bit of a grind today as a really, really bad player took a quick $700 off me. Luckily it was a deep table and could rebuy back up to $400 and then slowly get my money back. He was super super loose passive. Calling down anything which got me into trouble, like here where I value town the shit out of myself:

In the end, I got all my money back plus his first $100 buy in. Then of course some biatch comes and and hit and runs me. I honestly don't know how to play this hand. We had only played a couple hands before and I knew he was bad so I thought the 4bet could have been something stupid (He 3bet me before with 93o). anyway,

Obv. not a super standard call but he was super agro and once he bet the river I was pretty sure I was good as he was most likely checking two pair+

And now for the super sexy:




Almost even for the month!

June 18th

I was going to make a big post about my Europe trip but realized I am putting off posting anything for that reason. I'm just too lazy to actually do it so I figure I should post something so I can get the ball rolling and entertain my loyal readship.

I've been back in Davis for about 2 weeks now and haven't been doing much. I was super motivated to play for the first couple days I got back and rocked some sweet BI's at 1/2 and 2/4 but then went over to a buddies house and played some 2/4 HU. I hardly ever do this but I got stacked 3 freaking times by one guy. He really seemed like a donk at first but after looking at the ends he was just playing a really good loose passive style. He was playing a lot of pots oop and calling down with 2nd pair type hands. I def. played pretty bad but he also made some good plays.

Since then I just can't really motavate myself to play much. I messed around with some 5/10 limit but dropped a quick G in 2k hands and decided that was no good. I played another night of tournaments, naturally went deep and got fucked over everytime it counted so that was no good. And HU is just eh. I played too many hands recently and just need to mix things up to keep poker exciting.

The other thing is that I've run pretty well staking people and dont' even feel like I need to play when I have money coming in through that. Oh well, we'll see. Maybe when I go down to Sanata Cruz tomorrow I'll find some sort of new motivation.
