Alexos' Adventures in Donkland

omg WTF

maaaaaaaan some guy with your SN sat HU with me when I was playing 10 tables. I assumed it was you and played him for a while. He twice flopped sets vs my top pair turned into trips on the turn in about 10 mins.

i TOTALLY thought it was you and stacked off like an idiot FUFKFKFKFKFKFKF

so lame; change that fkin name so I can know it's you I'm stacking!

Tomorrow this thread will be reborn, and July will be my best month ever, imo.

Are you sure u wanna make a bet Very Happy

hahahah
1knl only bet seems awesome though...

anddd i lied, new operation (unless me and grif make a bet) begins tomorrow!!!!!and yes Kmizzle my goal is to breakeven at 5-10 this month, seems pretty unrealistic right? also get on msn u donk, i dont have aim on my desktop

Looking forward to the new thread. I think I will re read this one time before it gets shoved to the basement

HALLO,

Alexos and Griffeypropbetfish have a new bet this month. Basically play whatever stakes and one with most winnings wins 1000$. This has to be done in no more than 40k hands.

In addition to that, I also have a personal goal of winning 50k$ this month. If I'm not really close by like July20th I'll start playing a little 10/20 and maybe higher if the games are good. It's time for me to gamble a little more and put my BR to work after all these months of grinding the same friggin limits. I'll also do my best to post as many interesting hands as possible in this thread. Wish me luck!

GL guys!!! I dunno who to route for Wink

maybe ill just win $50,002 and 4get you guys.

jeezus just when I'm making 2-5 my regular game, the fish are moving up, not down

wtf

Bad start to the month! I played three sessions today and down 6k overall. I played some 10/20 yesterday because the games were good but I was really tired so maybe I shouldnt have played, oh well. Here are some interesting hands:

1) This guy started out playing really loose but ended up being more on the passive side towards the end of the sesh. Meh!

I will spare you the other hands, 2 outers, Kings vs Aces, Queens vs Kings, coinflips, etc...

Hand 2)

I'm not really sure about this hand with BlAUU. I think I almost prefer c/c, c/c to b/c turn here. c/bomb turn even is possible.

Hand 5)

What a donk, rivering two pair! Stupid InterPoker could have at least let you made a one pair hero call Razz

Another bad day at the tables... I think I'm playing alright just losing alot of coinflips and also a lot of coolers and terrible beats. I guess I'll slow down on the number tables for a bit but keep playing 5/10 and 10/20 if the games are good. Down 12k already this month, uh oh!

first hand is so gross

grrosss dude.... yah the set of Q's is brutal.. but mostly/definitely all standard.

I didn't play today.. might play a bit tomorrow we'll see.

I hope my downward death spiral isn't contagious and being passed on to you.. don't wanna wish that upon anyone!

You'll break out of it.. those are all cooler/suckout central.

Most of these hands look good Alexos, gl!

I am so mad at myself right pokerwise... So yesterday I start a session, as usual I add some 10/20 tables and play a great taggish non-spewy game for once, im up like 2-3k which is awesome (winning day yay?) then these two hands happen (5/10 pounds tables).

1) Again I was playing taggish/nittish at this table and villain knows that. I flatted the flop since I wanted him to try and barrel me off 88-99 or something cuz im playing higher than usual. Obviously first time i try something other than standard i get fucked.

2) This is the hand right after. Villain is a nit postflop, im not being results oriented or anything i just sincerely believe hes not raising that flop with anything other than A9 or 99. Again pretty horrible tilt stackoff.

How to lose 4k in 2 minutes, after losing 15k the previous days. LOL

unlucky dude, you will recover

k small recovery today, up like 6k while still managing to run below EV somehow.. ...so only down 13k this month, grrrrrreat!!!!

maybe ill post some hands tmr, gn!

ftr running bad on inter is the theme of July

I spoke too soon!!!! Also I was looking at this HEM EV graph for July but not really sure what stuff means. I guess I run like 11k below equity or what? I guess that doesnt include coolers too...

Also Bonus hand:

/whining

Going to see an Akon/Wyclef/Sean Paul concert tonight so that's gonna be cool. Let's see if I can get even for today by then...

I'm forcing myself to write this blog entry, just finished a long night session where I played every mid-high stakes table running on Crypto and 1 guy HU at 2/5. I got sucked out on a few times then made a couple big mistakes and decided to call it a night before going busto. This last week has been a long grind, I was down 23k after the first week of July but grinded that to only being down 5k before this sesh. Lol at my 50k goal for the month, but there is still hope!

I was gonna post some hands but this stupid weaktight converter aint working, ill try it again tomorrow...

Good night!

DOOD, FOCUS

U GOT GURL? GO F&^% TEH SHIT OUT OV HER LIEK THAR IZ NO 2MORROW. AS LOTZ DA TIEMS AS IT TAKEZ 4 U 2 CLEAR UR HEAD (UPON REREADIN DIS, OMG WTF HOOJ PUN, BUT ITZ UNINTENSHUNAL SMILE ).
CLEAR UR HEAD. IM SERIOUS. DOAN FORCE THINGS.

ULL BE ALRIGHT.

translation:
dude, focus

you got a girl? go fuck the shit out of her like there is no tomorrow. as many times as it takes for you to clear your head (upon rereading this, omg wtf a big pun, but its unintentional Smile

).
clear your head. i'm serious. don't force things.

you'll be alright.

Wink

-20k in one week? Geez

You should win 20k now!

lol at clear your head! wp jack Laughing

Good luck turning this month around alexos

Thanks for the nice words peepz!

Gotta make this short, but I'm now even for the month. 50k in 13 days is do-able imo!

Laters!

just got back to town after 3 day bonanza in eastern Peru

the 5k package is mine, imo

btw good job getting unstucko alex

Geni - the fight for the 5k packages will be cutthroat! But we can both win imo.

Good sesh today, ran a 10BI stack at 500nl but spewed a bit at my 10/20 tables and ended the sesh up like 4k. So I'm up for the month now weee..

Here's a nice hand, this guy's been 3betting me non-stop, I knew his range was wide here so instead of calling the 3bet like I'd prolly do against a nit to crack his QQ+, I decided to 4bet and either: 1) take it down pre 2) take it down on the flop 3) take it down on the turn 4) flop huge

Sick hand nigga. Congrats on the day!

wow can t lie

his play is pretty sick considering history

true, but again considering history I'm not folding much there (read: station), so idk?

but how often do you have a calling hand and look at how much equity he has assuming you are folding AK AQ and calling with TT-KK

I'm back in bizness baby!! Yesterday was a really weird day, and the first day in a while since i really tilted. I didn't necessarily make that many bad plays but I just felt so tilty inside, weird.. I managed to drop 4k or something then stopped.

Today, on the other hand, was perfect. Yea I got set over setted, and yea I got 2 outered a few times, but damn did I still run good and played better!!! I cleared 13k today, a record for me, and I didnt even have to play above 5/10!

That said, after being down around 25k maybe even more at the start of the month, I'm now up about 30k on the month, with a week ahead of me to accomplish my 50k goal, who woulda thought! Smile

I feel like a really got a better grasp of 3bet pots lately, and i might share some thoughts on my next bloggings (sp? obv wrong) Also me or griffey might do a vid for FTR for our next prop bet. That'll allow u guys to analyze our donkish lines, and maybe learn a thing or two (maybe?) and laugh at my accent.

There is a poker god.

way to go guys

2 much drama in my life right now to do anything except survive... forget the cruise imo

great to hear you are owning alex

Ewwwww at you or griff making a video. And by ewwwww, I mean please both make one.

Congrats about your month! Can't wait to see a graph. Plz share your 3bet secrets.

So im a failure apparently, didnt get to accomplish an AF > 4 over last 5k hands as per our bet. LOL im such a passive fish. Anyways, at least I won monies and ran hugely over EV for once. I guess I'll be making a vid as punishment, lol!

YESSSS... I finally win a prop bet! (even though there's no money involved.. figures!)

Mannn.. AF of only 3.6 while you're ACTIVELY trying to have a high AF!

I guess you're too busy c/c bluffy donks like me? Smile

gg winning money though, I guess its worth it.

I guess pocketing almost $7k over 5k hands whilst losing a bet helps soothe the pain Very Happy

.

I'm with Casey though, you should both do vids Very Happy

.

wow you are so bad wtf
