Alexos' Adventures in Donkland

gl, make moniezzz Smile

Something went wrong.. just played my first sesh and HEM says i shipped 2k... then I checked my account and im up 4k... hmmmm

I heard stories of money dissapearing then reappearing a cpl days later on Ongame, so i guess my mini-downswing wasnt that big:P

Or maybe i won 4k... HEM always messes up my hands

wat

1150/30,000, 4k profit
Bunch of stacks seem to be missing so 4k makes sense..

update HEM to beta version 1.08 or something (latest beta). I had the same thing. Could import them with new version manually

nah not always, but the hands it missed up to now. when you have the new version it will import fine again in new sessions (just import the older ones manually)

move up. oh btw, did your msn get hacked? [wish i could call/text]

i got sent some random links to pictures from you and when i clicked them it asked me to login with my msn info which makes no sense, so i didnt do it

Yeah, thats some kind of virus or something, I got the same from a workmate's msn when he was offline.

Yey Alexos, surprise monies!!!

yeah def got some kind of virus... i got the same link from my friend, clicked on it, then i got the virus.. i suggest everyone run their virus scan

possibly yeah, anyway if it doesnt work their support is pretty good, so just drop them an email and they'll help you till it works again.

Hands : 4015/30,000

I'm not playing very well. I'm still not used to 5max and the overall aggressiveness involved. I think I'm used to run over people and double/triple barrel so much, but its not working here, people will call you down with ANY pair. Time to adjust. I should probably play 18/16 or something, I would totally destroy the games just by having tighter ranges in 3bet/4bet pots. Its very hard for me to tighten up though, it would involve folding suited hands and stuff (gah!) . I should probably drop the tables to <8 to help focus.

Berate me on this one : (Although I feel its pretty close Smile

And this one:

2) No history whatsoever vs villain. He seems a little more on the passive side but no symptoms of "broken fold button", which is a very contagious disease on this site.

Running very well though but hopefully I play better when variance turns around. Peace.[/b]

Update..

Hands: 9,666/30,000
+6500$

Played some disgusting sessions, where I would start up 5 buyins then get coolered and tilt like 1-2 buyins at the end of the session, and finally end down (obv). I then decided to play 19/16 12 tabling and see how it goes, and what a relief. It feels so good to actually have premium hands and not always air all the time Smile

20k more hands in 8 days seems do-able...

30k hands at 2/4 operation:

14,000/30,000 hands
~+$12k

Just had a ridiculous +11 buyins session in 1k hands and 60 minutes.. think i stacked like 7 ppl in 5min at some point.. it felt good to run like the sun once again.. I'm playing a lot saner than before, and just straight up never bluffing the non-believers and its paying off.

I'm not putting enough hands in, the weather is incredible right now in Montreal which makes it very hard/not worthwhile to grind. Hopefully I can manage like 5k hands/day next week but its not very likely.. happiness EV ftw..

Hey, nice to see you adjusting and winning again. Pretty impressive that you can switch up well like this.

Yeah it kinda seems like spew, but we're repping a super strong range and we're about 30% against a calling range, assuming we get only one caller.

Im too lazy to run the EV of this, but i think its close to 0ev maybe even slightly positive and good for meta Smile

edit: actually its pretty bad.. we do have 30% against a calling range, but we def do NOT rep a strong range lol

any updates since april?
how did the whole Crypto -> Ongame switch go, how are the players and how has the rise from 2/4 gone?

I heard he's busto Sad

That was my lame attempt to be funny/force him to clear it up = make him post more!

Ongame was going well, but they had changed softwares a few weeks ago, and that totally turned me off. I'll wait till they fix it before I return.

Meanwhile, I've switched to Stars mostly for 3/6-10/20 and this is my July up to now, running goood! Very Happy

very nice graph!!
btw are you still on msn?

Oh man why would you doomswitch yourself like that. You know they look for people posting graph's like that just to doomswitch them.

Is the girl in your picture the same as griffeys? Do you know her name? Pretty hot.

Yes she is. Ria Antoniou, some greek supermodel

Suppp people,

After starting the month on an absolutely sick heater on stars, things have settled down and I even ended the month on a 20k downswing (not even 20BI though so not too bad). I feel like the regs are adjusting to me infinitely better than on past sites. They are also somewhat nittier on average which is annoying to deal with for me. These aren't really valid excuses, but I just don;t think 5ptbb is achievable for me at 5/10 PS, and having losing sesssions fkin tilt me, I'm just not used to them and it the result of that is bad play usually due to a lack of confidence. /whine

Sooo, idk what to do. I'll prolly just have to settle for a smaller winrate and work on my game a tonnnnnn. This is a fun challenge and I'll get to it right after i come back from vacation on the 19th.

I was looking at my old DB to cheer me up, these r all the hands on Crypto from July 08 to April 09. About half is in pounds, and mostly 2/5. I fkin miss Crypto. Hopefully I havn't posted this before lol.

Lol, I'd miss that too Wink

I don't think you can ever look enough at that graph Smile

shit, if that was mine I'd probably have it on my desktop wallpaper Razz

the thing i'm most jealous about by far is the redline. that's just sick. so few players are good enough to have a breakeven redline.
awesome.
GL in the coming months @ stars. you prefer it over iPoker/ongame/other sites?

Ehhh I'm soooooooooo much more jealous of the dark green line. The red line is probably my least favorite line nowadays. Ily alexos!

Happy birthday donk

happy bday alexos!

haha, I might give it a try, perhaps it works motivational Wink

happy b-day man

btw. it's been a while but perhaps we can schedule a session somewhere after your vacation or something?

Man that is just the sickest fucking thing. Awesome Alexos.

happy bday alexos
almost the same as mine !! (this thu)

Tony- I was gonna write a long post, but there are so many things that I'm not sure what applies to you specifically.

But in general ppl with huge red lines compared to their blue lines tend to be spewy and stationny (not folding before showdown can't affect your red line).

And ppl with red lines going 45degrees in the negative are probably weak and do dumb stuff like putting 1/3 of their stack in then folding too much. Or chasing a lot then folding when missing. Or just general leaks in 3bet/4bet pots..

There can be many factors, and I already said the red line is overvalued so why are we talking about it ? Razz

I have mentioned before that the redline is a result of your play, You can't change your play just to effect the redline. It's very easy to make the redline even or run up, but if it's not a natural part of your play you will spew a ton of chips
