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

3K Bankroll

after stringing together consecutive winning sessions since 12dec my BR is looking pretty nice. ive played 17k hands since moving to 8tables and my bb/100 has gone up which is weird. i just finished off my 600$ bonus too.

i been trying to do some research to find out what optimal stats should look like. mine seem pretty weird compared to most peoples. my W$SD is much bigger than normal and W%WSF slightly low. maybe it means im not agressive enough. this means my red line is really negative and blue line huge. mayb i just play an odd style. here is a graph since i started 8tabling...














my general stats show once again that PL must have worse players or something, as i dont play it any different to NL.

my position stats show im way down in the sb, possibly a leak. although looking at my hand history i have had a lot of coolers in ths spot with my big pairs. i think completing in the sb less may be optimal as its hard to win a big pot when its limped and ur oop. i wish i could figure out how to view my stats better, as id like to look at my profit when folded to in the sb and i try steal.




as u can see my stats are pretty nitty in general. i tihnk the biggest improvement to my game lately has been that i can lay down overpair hands to the minbet when i feel im beat. what i need to iomprove on is barraling and getting ppl to lay down weak hands. it just seems like whenever i think its a good spot to double barrall they call me so light...

im at 38k hands at NL50. as long as im feeling confident, ill try moving up after 50k hands. got a bit of a break off work atm so will be trying to put in a session most days.

u should post ur stats up luke so i can have a look at them

not much to say really

went to the casino torny. we start with 50bb and it was going up fast. i lost half my stack on the second orbit of PLO. Had A356 with a suited ace and limped behind 2ppl in late position. Flop of K33 is checked to me and i bet 3/4. 1 caller. i bet turn for 1/2 pot and he mumble calls. river is a K for K332K. check and he does too. has a K of course. i have like 1200 chips. soon i shove ATs in cutoff with 10bb and get blinds. shove AQ w 10bb from utg and take blinds. before i know it the blinds are 200/400 and i have 1100 still. just as it went up it was my bb and i have 55 so i call for 700more with 2 all ins infront, just hoping to get lucky and i dont. gg

Owning It

Played nearly 5k hands this weekend. Love 8 tables, its so fast. There apear to be even more morons playing, possibly due to the holiday season - and im not complaining!

Biggest pot of weekend. Villain was a standard 70VPIP fish, and I had been at his table for nearly 300hands trying to get his stack. When i finally got it it was tooo easy...



i think both these guys played the hand as badly as possible


made a really costly mistake in this hand. we area really deep and i try to play it way too fast. should have called the reraise on the flop, i had position and this would easily look like a AJ QQ KK hand. dude said he had AA. by playing it so fast i made it an easy laydown for him

So close to the 3k BR but im really tired so i dont wana push it. i was having probs with my mic so i didnt record anything today, would have liked too. casino tourney tomorow should be interesting... im pretty much a tourney noob but it should be fun. have a fairly decent holiday break from work after tue so might try hit the casino up a few more times. should be lots of people on holiday coming in for a gamble :)
