Casino

Went to the casino again last night with luke. we didnt get a seat at the same table though which sucked. i had some fairly chatty guys at my table tho so it helped the boredom that comes with playing a slow live game.

Within the first few hands i get TT and raise to $11 EP. this regular called gordon min 3bets. he does this with AA KK and mayyyybe QQ, never a bluff lol. ive played with him alot. so i call and hit a set to double up nearly straight away. he acts like its the worst beat in the world....

soon i get AK utg and raise to $12. get 3 callers. flop is all low spades giving me the nut flush and 2 overs. i c-bet and get called by a terrible reg on the button. he know im strong so he is probably calling with a spade. i fire a blank turn, build the pot if a spade comes cause he will pay me off and my A & K outs are almost definately good. he calls and an A falls on river. i bet out fairly small but he folds. says he had the Q spades.

last big hand i get KK on button. raise and call from early. and someone 3bets to $35. i 4bet to $75 and she calls. flop is an A high all spade board but at least i have the K spades. check check. i have showdown valuse and my pair is most likely good and its not like i can easily b drawn out on so i may as well keep it small. turn is a blank and she bets real small - like $30. i call. another blank river and now she bets $25 so i just call and she shows JJ.

after that i didnt get any more exciting pots, just took a few small ones down with a c-bet to maintain my stack. cashed out for $575.

Online

havent really been playing that much but have been keeping the BR ticking over. getting $150-$200 rakeback per week helps alot. had a new biggest pot and it was pretty awesome:



i found out how to combine accounts on HEM so here is my lifetime graph since i started playing seriously online after phenom day:













My ev line is pretty sick i know, but still i think it looks pretty nice. as i said to luke last night. feeling like im on a life heater right now lol.


Tilt: $4117 (+$350)
Stars: $222.96

Total: $4690

Casino: $700 roughly. havent cashed in any tornaments and my last update i could find was -$350. ive got a nice little role of $1k now which i keep wrapped up in a rubber band to feel like a big shot. peeled $300 out to pay for my trip to Auck in a couple weeks and my mates r like whoa drug dealer!

Cash game at the cass

after my abismal tourney, i come home and did a 2hour session online and made $100. feeling good again i went back in to join the cash game.

first big hand happened winthin the orbit. im in the BB w TT, the entire table limps to me. i dont even raise cause i know im getting 4 callers minimum and im out of position.
flop T36 2 clubs. i check and no one bets! thurn brings an innocent 5 and i bet out, get raised - i shove with top set and he shows 55 lols.

soon i had a pretty brutal hand. limped to me on the button w AA, pop it up to $14 and get 3 callers. flop: AT3 2 clubs. i c-bet and get 2 callers somehow. turn brings the flush and the other big stack donks $60 into me. i call hopeing im good or will pair. doubt i will call anymore $$$ on the river. river is a 4th club and he shoves. i fold he shows KJ off with the Kclubs. so sick

no other major hands happened but i won alot of mediium pots around $100 as i limped alot with the rest of the table and got max value off some weird hands.

had a funny hand where i limped along w 44 and a descent player raises to $12 from the BB. i call and so does 1 other. flop was 567 two clubs, he c-bets kinda small like i had seen him do with missed hands. so i c-raise him to $50. the other limpper calls with $25 left and im like o shit. turn is a blank and i say lets just put it in. he has K8 off, and is drawing for the straight. My 44 holds for like $180 pot haha

then was the BIGGEST pot ever. i announce to the table this is my last hand - look down at the rockets baby utg. make it $14 ... 2 callers and then a re-raise from the other deep stack. we both have around $500 - me maybe a bit more than him. he makes it $56. he is a descent player but has all the usual reg leaks. i 4bet big - $120 more for him. he tank calls. around $400 in the pot or something. flop is a beautiful 843, beautiful as in there is no K or Q. he donks $125 and i put him all in. he calls and the pot is like $800 - $900 big. He shows QQ !
wat a dream situation and he played it soooo bad against a deepstack, which means $ in the pocket for me. i squeal like a girl and run to cash out. $1k in my pocket and i walked really fast to my car lol.

Casino Torney #3

As the trend for me goes, this torney went shit. Combined between this and the last tourney, i havent won a hand lol.

i flopped a set and lost half my stack to a rivered gutty against a station, i folded the river donk and he showed
i raised a limper w AQ and got a smooth call behind, he was slow playing KK cause "i thought u had AA"
i shoved over a minraise and 2 callers who were both vpip=80% material players with 12bb. i had QJsuited and the final caller decided to call with K3 suited which knowcked me out lol.

Im guna have tea then go back in and join a cash game, hopefully those tourney guys stay around.

RAKEBACK!!

man i got $200 rakeback today, and i only played 15hours this week 8 table 100NL. so im earning ~$14 hour just for playing?! This is pretty unreal and makes me want to grind even more. but my job starts next week (earns less than US$14 hour after tax lol) which is just depressing.

had the mother of all suckouts too just now:

did a backflip when the board paired and he shoved then OMGGGGG

Tilt: $3643 (+$350)
Stars: $222.96

Total: $4216

PS the +$350 is just money i havent transfered from the other account yet

Descent Day

had a big cash in the Dailey Dollar today, 250th out of 12000 for a whopping $6! had such a sick hand early on:



But came back to get up to 190k chips at one point. then i lost w AJ v AK when i flopped an A with 30bb. why do i have to waste my run good tourney on the dailey dollar?!

also had my biggest cash pot ever:


the suck - re suck out makes it epic. the guy to my left was a spazzy fish obviously. i went for the risky option of calling the 4bet to keep him in the pot.

$680 won at NL100 so far + $168 rakeback credited in 16k hands which is good. Also im running above EV cause im a lucky son of a bitch so that helps!

Tilt: $3410 (+$350)
Stars: $222.96

Total: $3803

gross

dam had my worst day yet. $200 below EV, flush over flush and other general gayness :( . should get some sexy rakeback tomorow though. bring on 2010

4k BR !

man there are some fish playing. some examples:

A high is good for a stack!


Just a crazy hand. I prob could have got his whole stack but i thought he was bluffing so i slowplayed....


hope this heater lasts...

I also signed up for tilts iron man challenge. i dont really know what it is or how to get medals but it gives some nice bonuses. if you know luke can u tell me?

Tilt: $3430 (+$350)

NL100

I was guna wait a bit to move up, but being the holiday break i thought id move up now - assuming the xmas donks will b on and the tables softer.

well the difference between NL50 and NL100 seems minor. as usual the regs are more agressive with their 3betting but not by much. i been trying to float alot of their blind resteals and having some success with this.

ive had a swingy couple of days , but today was really good, i got onto a deep stack table and got my stack to $500 within 10 hands which was sweet! i flopped a stragiht with AK in a 4bet pot against a fish then got this. new biggest pot for me:

CO ($37.50)
Button ($160.30)
SB ($275.05)
Hero (BB) ($215.35)
UTG ($218.65)
MP ($184.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q
1 fold, MP calls $1, CO calls $1, Button bets $5.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $18, MP calls $17, 1 fold, Button calls $12.50

Flop: ($55.50) Q, 10, 6 (3 players)
Hero bets $39, MP calls $39, 1 fold

Turn: ($133.50) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $133.50, MP calls $127.60 (All-In)

River: ($388.70) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $388.70 | Rake: $3

He had TT. easy game....

So ive played 5.5k hands and am up $440 which is a pretty nice heater. i gota put in some bigger sessions but there is just too much fun stuff to do in the holidays.... like sleeping :D
