yeah good points, they can be a big distraction. Can't wait for your coaching sessions to start again Smile

That said, I actually got offered to be sweated by a couple 200NLers as well as my "coach" who is even higher so I cannot thank those people enough if they read this. I HOPE to log in a bunch of hands this week. Played some 25NL short stacking just for the hell of it and did pretty well. I'm not going to continue this but just wanted to try it out.

I actually may be somewhat busy the next few days but I am playing 6k hands in the next 4 days. Yeah that's not a lot at all but I need something to get me playing more and more.

How many tables do you play? How long per session?

I'm struggling to get anywhere near the hands in that I want to playing 4-tables.

Just played a couple sessions of 8 tabling, only like a little +1k hands in. I'm ok with 8-tabling 25nl, won't be doing much 50nl for now. Each session is really dependent on what all I have going on. It sucks but I live with a roomate/friends near me so I "have" to leave my sessions a lot to do some stuff. I suggest adding a table after awhile and seeing if you can maintain the same focus as 4. And continuing the process. Tried finding you on MSN earlier Sad

.

I also sweated my coach today which went well, many standard plays. A chance I will get sweated by him or that other group later tonight so I can only hope. Anyways, here are my nitty stats so far:

Finished my day alright. Had a dumb misclick that cost me about $7 and then someone hit their gutshot as I hit 2pair. I might post hands in the morning but kind of tired now. Got sweated by a friend and it really helped a lot.

Only played like 150 hands today...had a HUGE calling station which really helped. Up over a buyin at 25nl but not too happy, I need to start playing 50nl, I am definitely rolled. Kind of busy today but hopefully will be able to get a good chunk of hands in later tonight.

should I fire another barrel somewhere?:

Vs. same guy

Is he the calling station? 2nd hand looks that way. If so, why are you trying to bluff him?

Yeah, my bad, that is the calling station. I was going more for a semi-bluff knowing I get paid very heavily if I hit. However, I really thought he'd fold bottom pair. When I miss everything I don't know if I should fire again on river. Not sure if I'll be able to play tonight now which sucks because I'm itching to play again.

He's a calling station. You'll get paid big if you hit regardless. Thats what makes them fun.

I dont get what you're thinking here. Dont bluff a calling station. They call. Thats what they do. Thats why we call them calling stations. Hit TP and get paid, or check it down and get away cheap. These guys are the easy ones to play man.

Yeah I could be wrong, with that board it looks like I am ahead though anyways on the flop. Won't be able to play tonight which sucks.

Edit: Ok, fine, I admit I am just being stubborn right now. But I still think AQ is a pretty good hand to raise here, no? Even for value?

Firing again for value v's firing again to get him to fold any pair is two different things. The question is whether he calls with nothing at all or not. If you're ahead with A high then you already got some value on the flop. I dont like the idea of putting too much money into the pot with high card v's a guy who'll call with any piece of the board.

A true calling station (which this guy looks like) is a dream for our plan of winning the most and losing the least, as long as we treat them accordingly.

Alright, played a few hands tonight. I decided not to play the 6k hands because I thought it'd all be at 25nl where I am comfortable 8 tabling but I think I'll just play 50nl from now on. Just played 183 hands of 50nl 6max and am up $106. Heater still on. Though I lost like $30 on a hand that I will post the link to.

Here are the "interesting" hands:

This one cost me the ~$30: http://www.pokerhand.org/?2270877

Thin value, this person sucked and stole too much and went too far post with hands:

I don't know if you'd say I got lucky. In a way I did:

Fuck. Played some FR and got owned. Then tried HU and got coolered. I am now BE for the day. Bahhhh. I still feel somewhat good with how I played too so I can't be too upset right? Except playing HU was probably dumb, even though it was vs. a $30 BI and he sucked.

Still alive! Been watching videos/reading a lot about poker lately. Played only a little and sucked but I am definitely picking up on things. I'm going to get sweated by my coach Wink

tomorrow, should be good. Also, next Monday, me and Muzzard are scheduled to a 5k hand duel. Loser owes the other one a buyin. Also, for fun we'll have a CIB prize to see who can make their opponent call an all-in after a CIB with air or A high. Should be pretty fun and will motivate me to play (gg two tests next week I really have to study for).

Thanks. {spam URL removed by Xianti} ftw.

That last hand was so nice Smile

.

Nice on the vids, man I wish I could dl them ok. I guess I get about 2-3 per day so maybe thats enough to justify signing up somewhere.

Bah, just finished 7th in a $12 180 man. I thought I had a decent chance but K9<KT on a KQx flop. Boooo. Been 10 tabling 25nl lately to get ready for the prop bet. Up about 6 or so buyins so far. It's a lot easier with .ahk scripts.

Tomorrow Muzzard is mine. Everyone chime in our thread or this one or whatever and tell him how much he sucks.

Its tomorrow?

Bugger, I'm away tomorrow, was going to do some railing if it was today some time.
