Well, this month is going pretty well and I have been playing a lot of poker the past few days because my gf isn't here. I decided to start writing because I am getting a way from some of my good habits and I am starting to lose because of this. I have to admit I am running very poorly lately (only past 2 days which was like 3k hands or so). The bad thing is that I am actually hitting sets on the flop a HUGE amount. They are not getting paid. These are as the PFC. Anyways, I am missing flops hard as the PFR and it's getting to me as everyone is betting me off my hands. Seems like every time I have a JJ or TT type hand an A will hit on the flop and villain will have it. AK isn't hitting many flops and AA lost to J6 on a J94 board allin on the flop vs. a short stack then vs. the same guy I lost with AK vs. his A6 on a AJ92 board, money went on the turn and he spiked his two pair on the river. That's stuff out of my control. It really questions me though. It's like I'm at that time where my cbet bluffs are getting called/raised and my nut hands are causing folds. I think 75% of this is variance BUT I should be picking my spots better.

I haven't gotten a check from June 9th which is pissing me off because I need for the beach when I leave the 26th and I move out after that too so it will be hard to get it if they do actually send it. This is stressing me out because I'm like literally broke. I'm trying to ask my dad for a quick loan and I just ship him the check once it does finally arrive but he's paranoid my money is frozen and likely won't do it Sad . He also has been urging me to take off all my money now because of this stuff but I explained to him this website and the people I talk(ed) to daily and how they knew more about this stuff than him and everything is fine.

I had a going away party last night. It was a 50's theme and it went ok. Not too many people I guess because of summer (I live away from most of my friends in the summer) but it was fun. My friend got ridiculously wasted and started chucking things off the balcony so that was interesting.

I'm about to play a 1k hand session unless I go up or down a lot early. I know I should just play through but the last 2 days are tilting me. I DO feel a lot better than normal and have yet to really tilt tbh. I think I am in control much more. Oh yeah, I was the bubble man in the gauntlet after I bet too little and stacks hit his gutshot Sad. I felt really good about my play for the most part though. I have a new routine, it is waking up, eating breakfast, taking a shower and then grinding. I have never done this as a routine so it will be nice moving back home and doing all this. Also, right before my grindage I look at a few Poker Strategy articles/videos.

It's alright buddy, everything will work out in the end....as long as you are still confident in your skills. I like that routine by the way, sounds like a winning formula! As far as the freezing of your money goes, I have nothing to say about that...from what I understand the money will eventually come. I just hope for your sake its sooner than later. Also, looks like the computer is treating you well these days?

Computer is running siiiiick Wink .Thanks a ton man. I was going to text you soon haha. Hope all is going well with you!

Ended my session early. Started losing badly again. Only lost a buyin but I'm just not in the right mindset. I lost a full house to quads, AK < A5, second pair vs. top pair against a donk in a bad manner, got 3 outtered etc. Just not too fun right now. My head feels really heated when this all happens. I hate playing in the mornings but meh may have to sit the night out.

I had one last night with position on a 60/0 with 30% fold to cbet. I must have iso'd with AT+/KJ+ type hands 15 times in a row and whiffed flop every time. Any time I did cbet he'd call and the turn would pair the high card. Frustrating as heck.

Ok sorry but I am very heated. I am on a current 7 buyin downswing. I honestly cannot explain to you how bad this is making me feel. I'd say maybe 1 buyin is from tilt the others just semi-close hands. A TON are me running into the top of someone's range when I have a hand. That crap is absolutely terrible. I play nitty to allow myself a tight range so when I am at showdown I should be winning a TON. I'm not sure if I am quitting for the month as it's absolutely crazy. I was going from my all-time best month now to an unacceptable one.

Here are some hands. I am going to post my main losers of today:

I only won 2 pots over 40bb and 1 was a suckout allin preflop QQ vs his AA at a capped table. The other was me hitting a set of jacks vs. villains AJ after he called a bet with just 2 overs on the flop sweet finally won one.

Honestly, me getting stuck like this has forced me to ADD tables instead of subtract. I WANT to take the rest of the night off or at least until around midnight and read articles and review every single hand that I played in that wasn't limped to see if I could play differently.

NO overwhelming comments, other than the AJ hand on AT8dd board. Turn and river bricked really hard, and if he was going to bluff he'd prob bluff again on the turn, so I'd say your best bet is to lead river with AJ and he might hero call with lots of hands given draws bricked, tthat won't bet river themselves (ie: Tx, 99, 77 and crap).

Other than that, things will turn around!

Gotcha. My reasoning is that diamonds could be trying to see a free river and then bluffing river. Should they not do this often enough? I guess they'd be more inclined to double barrel.

I'm running better. Just under 4 buyins ABOVE EV today...sigh, but I think most of the plays were still standard. It's becoming very evident that 50NLers do not know what they are doing a lot. I won't name names but one FTRer and then all the other "regs"

Def not you Wink. He knows who it is, I chatted with him at the table. He was flatting 4bets 100bb deep, squeezing (with only the nuts) to higher raise sizes than need be, etc.

Is the computer still running sick? If so , have you checked out the temperatures the components are running at? Whats ambient temperatures like there? Could be that high temperatures are causing some thermal throttling to kick in?
You could try downloading speedfan which will tell you temperatures that your cores are running at , fan speeds etc and cpu-z which will tell you the speed your cores are running at. Heat could be an issue now that summer is here and a slimline case may make things worse . Add in any dust that could be sticking to fans, and blocking heat sinks and airflow and cooling is reduced.

Lol, PM me!!

I really think that 'regs' at 50nl are just those who learn enough by rote to beat the micros, but dont understand poker enough to move up. You'll obviously get guys (like yourself) who withdraw too much to move up, and people who are passing through for a couple months building up, but anyone whos a reg at 50nl for too many hands just isnt likely to understand things too well. Hell, I nearly quit poker because I felt stuck at 50nl, I had to turn things up to get past it.

Stick it out man, I want to see you at 100nl next month and 200nl not too long after if you can put off withdrawing much!!

Ok quick update as I am late for stuff and I will be on vacation until the 1st of July. But I lost my biggest pot of the month yesterday against 2 guys, one 100bb the other 60bb and I was 94% when I got the money in. GG variance. A few seconds later I won a 200bb pot hitting a 2 outter so weee for running well again.

Keith - computer is running well! I cannot thank you enough for everything! Speedfan has been downloaded Smile

Ben - thanks man! And I will be SOLELY 100NL next month with a ton of buyins to spare. I'm also going to be coached by ISF and am hoping I can dominate.

Gl guys. I am done for the month and didn't finish like I had hoped but still pulled in an ok month profit/winrate wise. Much love.

Thats pretty cool kmind. Good stuff. If you have some crap runs and still have an ok month, thats a success. One thing I try to bare in mind is when the deck is cold, sometimes your aim is to just not lose too much.

Plenty to chat about, look me up when you're back on a PC Smile

Ok here's my post in the June Graphs thread:

Quote:


+$150 in Rakeback
+100 on other laptop

Pissed about the end of the month but felt I ran bad followed by running hot at the very end.


Let's talk a bit about last month. I didn't get enough hands in which is a good sign. I played like 14k and am angry. That's rare for me. I was gone for like half of the month too so that's good!

Anyways, I felt like I ran a tad above normal in the beginning then hit a rough patch of cards in the mid-late of the month and then at the very end I think I tilted some but ran well above EV which isn't good. I played a lot like May which I am happy with.

July should be all 100NL. I keep saying that but the truth is that I have already mixed in 50NL. My first day back from vacation I literally didn't care at 50NL and played kind of wild. I lost $100. The past 2 days have gone better, though down $50 in EV and I am up now $255 for the month. So take away the spew-age at the beginning and tack on the EV I should easily be at $400 probably add another $50 for the big hand I lost. I say this because the hand I really lost any EV on was having AJ on a KQTss board and getting it in on a 5x board when villain had AsJs and he hit on the river. I shouldn't think this but I still say I shouldn't have lost the $100. Anyways, enough of that rant.

I am feeling confident about my game. I am still hoping I get coached by ISF in a week or less. We keep missing each other which sucks. Regardless, his past advice has been so eye-opening. I think the #1 thing I am doing better because of him is exploiting each player by having stronger ranges when they're aggressive and weaker ranges when they are passive. Shoring up your ranges like that is sick (so far at least).

I played in a $20HU SNG and dominated. Even after getting it in preflop with AKs to his KK and losing. Felt good. I was able to exploit him a lot.

Used my old PS points (I forgot what they're called) on the HOH series and also the BobboFitos DVD. Only watched a little bit of the DVD but seems decent so far. Nothing really new. I'm interested in getting better at tournaments just in case for the future so the HOH series should help me a lot. I opened up the first volume and everything seemed really basic so I admittedly skipped it. The second volume is the big reason why I got them as I struggle so badly with end game stuff. This is also why I have Mathematics of Poker. Both explain the push/fold game well. I can't keep my hands off of volume II. Seems good...

Speaking of tournaments, I bought a piece off my friend for the WSOP. I know him from another (nonpoker) forum and it was just by chance we both found out about our poker love. He was playing really really low staked tournaments until recently he got on a huge run. I told him I could only give him $50 because I'd like to put more on someone who has played a lot live. Well, we just talked and he only played in 1 WSOP event I think. He barely made it past dinner break playing at a table with Hellmuth, Rousso, Singer and Jeff Madsen. I didn't care about it and was happy he said he had a good time. Turns out he scored huge in a side tournament there and said he's shipping me my $50 back. I'll take it! haha.

I went to the beach last week. It was a lot of fun. Me, my mom, my dad, bro, his girlfriend and my girlfriend all got to go which was cool. Both girlfriends get along greatly and I like my bro's a lot. Mine too, obviously. But, we had a lot of fun on the beach, eating at random places, going to shops, putt-putt, pool, board games, all that good stuff. My uncle half owns Margaritaville currently and used to half own Ocean Pacific and LA Gear so he's extremely rich and we got to stay in his house which was nice and right on the beach. I'll try to scan some photos as my mom doesn't know how to use digital cameras. It was sad to go home and even worse for my bro's GF as her cousin passed away from cancer the day after we got back. She was only 24 and my brother visited her the night before and said it was the saddest sight he has ever seen. Really makes you think. Rest in Peace.

Something I have been trying to do repeatedly, even privately on the beach trip, is coming up with situations and figuring out ways to exploit villain(s) in each spot based on their tendencies. Amazingly, Isura at leggopoker posted a great post in blog about basically what I had been doing, but this time doing it to your sessions. I love the idea. It has forced me to think this way when reviewing as opposed to just individual hands. I'm obviously still going to review only hands as well. Here it is: http://www.leggopoker.com/blogs/isura/session-lists-5048.html

Here's to never being a 50NL or below regular again.

Hi GMML

I will offer everyone a piece of advice. QTs doesn't do well vs. a range of QQ+/AK 100bb deep

Been playing a lot of 100NL after getting a 2 hour session of coaching from ISF. He's sick. Happy bday. But I'm just playing really awful. I'm definitely learning a lot from him but I think the problem is that I am focusing only on what he taught me which is forcing me to not be fully aware of what's going on and making subpar preflop calls and the like. I'm also getting owned by river bets. I'm only down 1.5 buyins in like 1.5k hands AND that includes losing AK < KK preflop as well as a really really horrible played hand by villain allowing me only to lose like 3/4 of a buyin instead of the whole thing (he flatted on the river when I snap-fistpump-call a shove). I've hit quads twice since his coaching. Coincidence? Actually, the other week I hit 2 straight flushes as well.

Anyways, I hope to review some hands and maybe post them here or what not. I need to be a damn winner again before our next session.

Something I noticed as I started to focus on improving my postflop play, was I made the mistake of playing ranges PF that left me no choice except to 'outplay' opponents postflop, which just leads to spew. Now I'm more trying to play solid ranges, and leave creative play as an option for when I miss or feel its profitable to do so.

I called out his hand in my head when he called preflop given recent history but didn't have many stats on him so gave him a tighter range. I guess this is fine but I really want to turn my 5 out draw into a bluff on the turn. Is that better than betting river?

Anyone else feel like whenever they try to move up they just get pounded by running below EV as well as getting cold decked? I'm running horribly EV wise and then there's other random crap that are either coolers or wtf I made the right play and how does he have the ONLY hand that beats me and shouldn't even be in his range to begin with even though he's a reg. Running bad, for me, overcomes any confidence I have of getting better even if my EV is below what it should be. I don't care tbh. I just want the money.

What I know about 100NL could be written on the back of a very small matchbox but, either way, it's hard to see what you're doing wrong here. AQ is the only villain hand that makes any sense but is hard to credit. Any other Q holding or K clubs and I'm choking on my own vomit but, hey, that's why I don't play cash Smile

Not mention your 100NL run 2 months ago...good for you obviously but sigh for me. I think I'm down 6 buyins in EV at 100NL in like 5k hands which doesn't include the times losing 2nd nuts (as in full houses) to 1st nuts (as in quads). Really frustrating.

I did finally have a good session and am now in the positives again at 100NL this month but meh still down 2 in EV plus some coolers. Shouldn't complain I guess. I have another session with ISF tomorrow which should be really helpful.

Kev - HI! Of course he had the KcTx fml! Whatcha doing with that $1k poker profit? HOLLLLA

Yeah, I know it took me like 3-5 times to break through past $1k (was a moveup point for sngs as well as cash), and had my horrid run after withdrawing, but other than that I've been fortunate to run fairly well whenever I've moved up. I dropped at one point $600 of that $875 over the next few hundred hands, but clawed it back.

2 buyins EV isnt terrible, keep playing well, stick with it. You've got a real chance to knock out $1-2k this month.

Thanks Ben Smile. Grats on winning it back!

Honestly, I'll be happy with a ~1.5k profit this month.

Goddammit. I think the poker gods are punishing me for my hubris. I'm now going through exactly what you talk about. I guess I'm lucky I was able to build a little bit of a buffer first.

I was up $85 2 hours ago now down $180 something. I cannot for the life of me either play good or run good at 100NL. Not sure which one. Lost almost a buyin with KQ vs. a donk on a QJ8Qtt board. He had Q8 of course why wouldn't he? Then some heavy 9% 3bettor 3bets from the BU against UTG and I flat with AK in the SB (not sure what to do here). Flop comes K85r. I c/c. Turn 6. I c/c. River I c/c a shove and he has 65s which yeah that and 76s are what I am afraid of but blah. Literally my graph in the past couple of hours goes downward at a nice and steady pace with a couple of huge drops. I'm so good.

ISF coached me earlier today and didn't really see many problems to how I was playing which is like instantly sweet but I'm down like 3 buyins or so since he started coaching me. This level has so many bad players and it's so frustrating not being a winner. A lot of players at FTR could and probably do have sweet winrates there which I wouldn't doubt at all.

I hate to say it but the money figures are and have always gotten the best of my head. This money I need to withdraw/move up with. Ah. End of rant.

AK hand where you slowplayed and c/c'd down. I'd just c/c river, cause after 3 barrels he's so polarized to a hand that is insta folding with air or probably calling you and has you beat.

I'd prob c/r on a dry rainbow board there pretty small if he's the type to spazz out. If he's just aggro barrels then y our line is good.

Someone give me a reason not to quit when I'm getting set up every fucking hand at fucking 100NL this shit is fucking ridiculous. I'm literally thinking I should play 15k hands in which I owe ISF money then take like $2k for myself then flip the rest but I don't want it to be an unknown flipping. Someone else who needs the money too at FTR

Duuude... whats the point "having to play".. when you're quite possibly not playing optimally given your state of mind?

Take some break at least.. an evening... or day or something!
