The two day SCOOP 2012 Main Event tournaments began on Sunday May 20th. Play was halted at the conclusion of level 20 (10 hours) and resumed early this afternoon. After two weeks worth of events, and many players entering many of the available events, a mere 10 hour first day was welcomed by those who [...]
Today I played only 1.95 hours for 1068 hands and $67.10. The lower volume was because today was my girlfriend’s birthday. There weren’t as many big pots, but here they are: Biggest Losers: 1. I called an LP open with 66 and decided it would be a neat idea to check/raise the flop and fire [...]
Today was a busy day and I feel like I got a lot accomplished. I managed 4.75 hours (though about 10-15 minutes of that or so was HUD testing) for 2493 hands and $236.40. Here are the biggest pots: Biggest Losers: 1. 33 loses to 44 on 345 monotone in a 3-bet pot, -$41. 2. [...]
I played something like 30 minutes, had trouble getting started on a lot of tables so that was only like 150-200 hands, got coolered twice for stacks and decided to take the day off and work on other stuff. So today I started reading Ed Miller’s Small Stakes NL, and I also worked on some [...]
Today I played 4.72 hours for 2513 hands and -$99.80. I’m satisfied with the majority of my play, and after AIEV I would have been up for the day. As always, here are the biggest hands: Biggest Losers: 1. AsKs loses to QQ on Ah5sQs, -$56.20. 2. KK loses to AA aipf, -$50.00. 3. The [...]
Today I played 4.58 hours of 50nl for 2508 hands and -$66.35. I’m hesitant to even list hands like I normally do because it’s going to sound like a bad beat post, but here we go: Biggest Losers: 1. KK loses to AA aipf, -$58. 2. This hand came after I’d lost 3 stacks in [...]
Today was basically cooler hell. I lost something like $550 over 4500 hands and 8 hours or something, but I’m not entirely sure because a HH or two that I know happened aren’t showing up in PT3 or the HHs when I request them, and I think it’s because I crashed the PokerStars client with [...]
Today I played 3.57 hours for 2010 hands and -$109.85. Here are the big hands: Biggest Losers 1. QQ v KK aipf for -100bb. 2. AA < KK+fd ai on JT32 for -100bb. 3. A hand against takesix I played really terribly on the flop and turn, then made a misclick on the river. He [...]
Occasionally after one of my girlfriend’s episodes different parts of her personality will be brought to the forefront than others for a short (15 minutes to 6 hours) period of time. Some of these parts come out so often that they have names. Here is a list of the ones I’ve seen so far: Michelle [...]
I went to bed around 7 this morning after working on something non-poker related all night in a bit of a manic episode, and as a result I’ve felt pretty bad today. Add in a doctor’s appointment and a ballet class for Michelle and I didn’t play very much today: 2.35 hours for 1356 hands [...]
Note: This entry got screwed up because you have to put in a special code thing to use less-than signs and so it ate like half my post. Today I played 3.13 hours for 1812 hands and $60.50. While I was somewhat satisfied with my play today, I’m not very satisfied with my level of [...]
