unstuck for the month

july was pretty up and down. had my worst every session, took two weeks off and followed it up with my best ever session. the idfference i think is i stopped rying to be a 3bet monkey and went back to my normal game. hopefully all the regs took notes on me tho so now im a nit again i can waste them with my Aces :)

finished the month off with two good sessions over the weekend. posting my weekend graph cause it looks sexy:


4337 hands and i only fully stacked someone 5 times and was stacked for 100bb zero times myself. seems weird... i marked no hands so i thats pretty uninteresting. i might just post a bunch of stats today for future reference.

NL200 stats:

i manage to lose less than it costs to post a blind in the sb and bb so playing super tight from these positions seems to be working for me. my W$SD% is pretty high so i think im ment to be thinly betting more. one thing i know i do differently to alot of ppl is check call to catch bluffs rather than bet myself. not too surprisingly the button is where the moneys at!

i also played some rush after work. and ive been winning! maybe im just running good. one thing ive realised is that rush induces tilt like no other. seeing so many hands makes all the bad beats seem like they r happening too often. i was playing NL50 do i think the beats didnt hurt me so much and i could stay on my A game. plus the NL50 game is so unagressive preflop compared to what im used to now it all seems much easier.

dam this is turing out to be a random bunch of ramblings. had a psoc torney the other day. was doing pretty good but took a pretty gay beat about halfway through. Had QJ suited and raise a fishy limper. 3 way flop Jxx all spades. i cbet about pot and the fishy guy calls. turn is a low blank so i put him all in. he tanks talking about how i must have a "big" hand here. eventually he calls with A9o with the 9 high flush draw. hits it ofcourse! after that i was down to 6bb or so but managed to survive for ages cause i had nits behind me and i shoved there blinds plus some limpers alot. got the standard "this isnt poker" from some dude as i shove over his limp with 6bb haha. eventually its me chewy and luke left for our 'last longer bet' and i have 18k, chewy on 20 something and luke doubled up recently to have like 30k maybe. blinds were like 1k 2k and guy who limps alot does just that, i have AT on button and shove him. he has KK. both blinds have folded Aces lol and im out. luke scoops the bet + first prize.

i also lost $200 at the home game the other week. pulled a pretty solid/standard bluff on luke that failed to lose my first hundy. then got a open ender + nut flush draw all in verse top set against luke of course. ran it twice and bricked for the second hundy. man i love playing omaha at the home game tho. everyone except luke just seems terrible. i try play in position cause everyone is so passive plus seeing flops cheap still gets my nitty ass image payed off.

ok thats my summary for the month. didnt play enough hands cause i took some time off so i didnt tilt after my worst session. hoping for more hands and more winnings in august!
