Saturday grind

hmm so i wake up this morning to see my favourite bands cd leaked 2months early. so that was pretty much the best start to the day ever. time for the grind!

before i know it im $300 under ev and $650 down. wow so sick. somehow i won it all back though. break even for the day but im not complaining!

how did i lose so much at the start. umm KK < AQ all in pf, AK < QQ all in pf, top 2 verse set bottom set, TT < QQ to a mega fish. he opens for $5 then straight up shoves a low flop, had to call....

played a tiny bit of omaha. got stacked 200bb deep. what you think?

seems like a good flop to get it in, but i guess what worse hand is calling? maybe i shouldnt 4bet if i cant get in 50% of my stack. i duno...

went to pokersoc the other day. was a donk fest. i got knocked out pretty early. i reraised a half stack all in with AKs and he had AA. then i shoved over 2 limps with KQ in late position. some guy loks my up with A5 but i hit a K. then i get KK early, bet call a Jxx flop all clubs, guy has AJ with flush draw and hits to knock me out.
then i played luke heads up which was fun. i hit some good hands and stacked him like 4 times. then he made a bit of a comeback and the stacks were roughly $80 to me, $40 to him. i got QQ in the bb and just call his raise as i hadnt been 3betting much. check raise a T high flop to just over 3x his c-bet. i thought it would look bluffy, such a dry flop so i was repping a flush draw by betting bigger. hoped id induce a bluff or get looked up light. he reraises kinda small but it commits him so i shove. he has AA again when i have QQ for the third time in a row!! im so disgusted i put out the turn and river with the wrong deck hahaha. then lukes like "wait man u did the wrong deck". he deals a new turn and them BAM river brings the two outter! so gross. then he quit and i dont blame him haha.

ugh

had an awesome night at the cash game. buy in $200, 50NL but straddle half the time. i play good, not hitting much but making money somehow. lost $60 to a bluff verse luke, was bad...i didnt raise enough. he did a tiny river bet and it threw me off.so about 11.45 and im at $280ish

i had a weird hand verse some guy. he limps cutoff and i limp 67o on button, micha rasies but we both call. KT2 and micha checks, dude bets and i think he must be stealing. wat can he limp here that is strong? i raise - he reraises to $120. i seriously consider shoving but he could have JQ and i dont have enough to make it a laydown for a draw. if he calls with JQ im way behind. i think if i have a pair i shove. he says he has 22, but y would he limp cutoff. hmm but y would he limp with anything... i think he plays online, baffling

then i got destroyed by the man himself, who was on the heater of his life ofcourse :)

1st hand, straddle, raise utg and 2 calls, im button with QQ. i call. frenchy to act, he is short and tilting and loves to 3bet. luke in bb. he may 3bet but he is not my target. micha on the straddle. tilting harcore and with a short stack, im sure he cant resist this setup. luke makes it $15, not the greatest but o well ill call in position. micha shoves. GOD DAMMIT! now i know ive got micha, but i have to put in $67 to see if i have luke too. hes sitting back in his chair, looks confident. could mean he is insta mucking, could mean he has AA. i call. luke makes it $150 and i snap fold. son of a bitch has AA of course and micha Ax. flop brings a queen!!!

4 hands later. im in the straddle with QQ. 7 handed and luke raises utg to $3. i have $200 exactly. a caller and i reraise to $14. luke makes it $40. um thats not the greatest but its an easy call. i had made some stupid comment about him respecting my raises b4 i saw my QQ so he could just be playing around after winning a big pot. flop is AJx, i check and he thinks a bit and checks. his range here is easy. AK AQ,KK, pot control this deep as im not calling with worse. missed air: this board hits my range he might give up. his range is NOT JJ as he would bet cause i likely have an A. he could have AA but there is an A on the board and he just had AA. i mean who gets it twice in 1 orbit??? blank turn and he bets $30. now i should just fold here but its so small i have to call. im 80% sure he has AK the rest is air. river is a T and he shoves $120. TT is also not in his range as he calls my 3bet 100% with it deep. his only hand is AA or air. AK would definately not shove this scary board. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh and i call cause i wana own him haha. looking back i realise he was acting hardcore. started talking and let his voice crack haha. glanced at me several times then looked away. ahh its so obvious afterwards. well played sir. AA v QQ twice in an orbit is sooo sick. especially verse luke
how the hell am i suppost to get to sleep for work, im fuming! could care less about the money but y did it have to be luke i lose to by getting trapped :( o well i guess id rather lose it to him than some nit. ah its so annoying some of the guys that come, and usually win dont even straddle. i mean comon its a homegame

casino + online summary

had a pretty lackluster night. got terrible hands and just couldnt do much. my AA and QQ got cracked so i lost a bit there. pretty much played 3 hands in the first couple hours. even the dealers were hassling me haha. then i get AA QQ close together and still get mad action haha.

layed down my AA after i raised 6limpers from the bb to $15 and got 1 caller. bet flop 568 then check folded the worst turn ever 5687 when he overbet shoved :(

then i 3bet QQ to $35 or something on the button and got 2 callers. of course an A flops and i check behind twice, call a small river bet but he had hit a gutter.

my table had 3 middle aged ladies that were just terrible but i couldnt catch a hand :/

So down $230 for the night


Made $200 online today though so had a pretty good weekend even though i didnt play too many hands. got Omaha manager finally, turns out im down $450 at rush omaha lols. god dam you rush. im up a few buyins at normal omaha though so now i can just play that seeing as i have a hud! sooo close to being back at my peak online roll....here is my graph including all omaha. on the up imo.

















out of interest that is 160k hands since mid october, or 5 months of playing. 288 hours total, 57.6 hours month, 14.4 hours week. not much hours really but seems like alot of volume. i guess a fair bit of rush in there. take away my initial $50 and its $4500 profit since then. or $15.6/hr (NZ$22/hr). why do i go to work again???

I got 50k fpp's so im guna try satelite to some of the big torneys. Man that would be an awesome score if i can run good.

graph minus rush looks so much nicer :)

Saturday Session

Was only a short one (1500 hands) but made a cool hundy. Actually had some interseting hands fot once:

UTG raiser is vpip 100 fish running super hot so i feel good about 3betting TT. the button is solid and if he had a strong hand would surely 3bet himself, so i dont know what he could have on the flop and make a fold...


Similar thing here, moron fish opens 8bbs and i 3bet but miss the flop with a pot sized bet left. if i bet half pot i gota call a shove, and i doubt he folds any pair but still its a crap way to play a hand. maybe 3bet bigger so i can shove half pot on flop?


finally i got some guy to hero call a stack with K high which was awesome. i have quads of course


Last week i played some rush omaha and lost 10buyins at 25NL which was fun. got 1 outtered twice in 5mins! both times flopped top set in a 3bet pot with AA . then they turned/rivered quads. was insane.
then i got all in 3way with AAxx vs AAxx vs 7733. Of course that guy hits a set. i dont know how he was even in the pot lol.

Home game

Had another home game. generally the same people as last time. i had some guy sitting on my left who played nearly every hand, i forget his name but he has a beard and is michas friend. anyway together we formed the calling station corner and i prob played about 60% of hands. and called every stradle blind, cause the dude did the same on his double straddle. was pretty awesome

about 10 hands in i call in the sb w j9s and frenchy 3bets his straddle just for a change. tim wusses out but i call and am going to bluff most boards cause frenchy is too agressive. anyway i flop a straight draw on QTx and shove his cbet and lose to AQ. 1 buyin down

then a couple of orbits later i get QQ and 3bet with a caller or two. bet call a shove on T8x or something and he has AJ with the flush draw and he hits, 2 buyins down.

oh and the buyin was $60 so im kinda tilting right now. had an awesome hand. called a raise along with 4 others with K9s. flop was 9 high, and station dude leads the bb like he does with weak hands (this is a 100% tell) everyone else calls, so i just shove my K9 cause i actually think its ahead and will look like a draw from earlier. somehow the 3rd caller (tim) has JJ but he tanks and lays it down. lol owned

soon i raise some limpers and get a few callers with 72 and frenchy 3bets me again to like $18. i shove and he folds AQ, won a nice $30 there.

i pay a hand blind and check it to the river so i lead and get a caller, flip over a flopped 2pair and he has like bottom pair hehe.

did this again and i get bet into on the river so i check my cards and have hit a gutty so win a descent pot.

strange hand got me like $100. i call a utg raise w 67s, raise behind me and 2 callers and then, ill name him pimpin glasses guy, calls. origninal raiser calls and so do i. i flop a straight flush draw and lead, pimpin glasses guy calls, i blank turn but put him all in for $50 and he calls but i hit the river. he had AA somehow callin behind 2ppl after they 3bet lol.

flopped several straights, one i tryed to trap by just calling flop and scare card slowed the action verse micha, he had a pair flush draw combo so could have got it in if i raised flop :(

micha bluffed me in a descent pot. me and station guy called his raise in the cutoff. he c-bet a AQx board and i had A6 with the nut flush draw. i didnt raise cause i tihnk i might fold out worse draws but keep better As in so i call flop and turn. he bets big river and i fold cause i didnt think he would bluff me AND the station who called flop also. but he did, i gotta very reliable tell though that i picked up throughout the night and remebered from last year. he bets real fast when he is bluffing, and kinda rests his elbow on the table, palm on cheek looking away from you. remeber this one its good. micha keeps trying to outplay me in position so i gota look for more tells.

i guess some other crazy hands happened seeing as i had like 5 straights but i dont remember them. cashed for $350 and won the $20 change in a 4way omaha flip. mmmm rungood.so i guess up $190, but i lost $90 last week so ahead $100 which ill add to my live roll telly. home games r fun :)

casino this weekend for sure!

errr

man i havent blogged in a while so i thought i better write something...

umm was too lazy to go to the casino on the weekend which was pretty shit of me.
played a bit of online, was feeling god so i moved to NL100 cause it was sunday and the fish are always on. lost bout $150 tho, tryed to bluff alot and none worked.

had first homegame of the year. played like a madman at the start and lost 2 buyins ($100). tryed to bluff some guy who was a station it turned out, so i tryed again and it failed un surprisingly. then i got AA KK AA within like 20 hands and got no action! was real gay.
then i got 72 UTG. i limped and guy to my right makes it $2.50. like 4 callers and i limp reraise to bout $20. the left guy shoves and i fold :/ Then he shows 63o wtf. was the weirdest thing and he was kinda tight.

my retard image got me paid off for bout $80 when i got AA again. i 3bet then lead pot on a 873 or something. turned paired the 7 which was a realy good card because it takes away a set and keeps in mid pairs. So i slightly overbet shoved pot for about $60 cause it would look bluffy. Micha was still in the hand and i knew he had a mid pair or a 9 and would call me. and he did which was nice. finished down $90 but it was ok.

online roll is beginning to recover. im seeing a definate trend upwards after the negative gradient of rush. ah if only i hadnt played that stupid game id have moved up to NL200 at this rate.

oh and i got a measly $50 bonus from full tilt to work off. aparently ppl who had cashed out like a year ago were getting $500 bonuses to come back. woulda been sweeeeet. so if u have an old full tilt account go check your bonus offers! oh just noticed back above $4k, yey 4 me. last time i was at this point was jan 16.

Hmm now to sit back and watch the new high stakes poker...
