Yeah in hand 2 i think it was a mix of 'he probably has air here so no point in raising' which is obviously super flawed combined with feeling bad that i sucked out on you again and secretly not wanting your whole stack

I bet you shove all-in I type to you on another table: "omgggg.. did you just river me?? #$#$#@" "unreal" I fold Though maybe me b/f in this spot and not b/c is flawed in itself? Not sure, I can have a 7x as much as you can in this particular spot I feel like. In fact, I think you might c/r OESD on flop a good % (maybe?) so I might even show up with more 7x on this river than you. Thanks for looking out for me though! appreciated

Here are some position stats for the month. It's hard for me to tell how much I "should" expect to be losing from the blinds. Interesting to note that my AF by position decreases pretty much from SB to Button... perhaps that is normal? Button is doing well at least!

seems like if you fold everything in the BB or SB you'll have +20K months EZ OMG :Ad::As  I FOLD

If we assume that my average game is 2/5, so just using the small blind as an example. Each SB is $2, and I have around 7k hands in the SB, so thats $14k lost if I fold all SB's! (and similarly around $35k lost in the BB yikes) Booo to that plan not working. What are other ppl's bb/100 in the blinds? |

Over the past 100k hands, i'm running at -18bb/100 out of the BB and only -1bb/100 out of the SB. I imagine that's because i'm defending my BB by just calling a lot more whereas i'm repopping out of the SB more of the time. Also note i've run pretty good over this sample so I imagine it would usually be a bit more in the negative. |

So yah for anyone checking these stats, they should def filter out HU. If I keep HU in, my BB numbers are even more bruuutal and SB numbers are much better. |

| Ravageur |
|
||
| good point. With it filtered out, sb is -4.25bb and BB -20.5 bbs. SB agg factor is 4 and BB agg is 2.56. | ||

The genitruc/ravageur family ownsssss my life in coolers! well moreso genitruc today! I like to rotate between the two from one day to the next.. for variety. But that's ok, had a good day today, up around 3k. Up around 7k for month, so with rakeback I'm probably just about at my monthly goal. Soooo I can either book it for the month and just coast to the wins.. or play more and risk losing the bets but also win more... hmmm what to do.. what to do... Oh and in other news, today was my first day in ages... that my "non-showdown winnings" were negative..... anddd this also happens to be my biggest winning day in a while. hmmm coincidence?? probably not.. death to "non-showdown" winnings. |

Month is winding down, and I've been up the last couple days so with RB for the month I made the 10k mark! Its nothing too crazy, but little things for now. Ship the up month finallllllly. Ship the bets! Well I think I'm gonna break even into two of my bets (with kmind? right.....you reach your goal too? , and another guy on my site). Buttt I finally beat Alex in a bet, though he hardly played this month really. But I'll take it! I'm gonna take tomorrow off and just book the win.. don't need to have some disaster tilt session and lose my bets too. Playing it safe! |

Yeah I play like a fish vs u and run good. Nh with k9 I had QQ wiwht qh and should've raised more PF and c/called turn i guess. Anyway i should get my own blog so i don't keep hijacking yours but at least you didn't recover from a 20k downswing then proceed to lose another 10k at 10/20 in 1 hour! So you still beat me at the internet pokerz |

So I dropped down to 100nl a few days ago. Ok well not really, but I tried depositing 6k onto pokerstars and they said I have a $600 max deposit.. whattt. (though I soon after realized that that is prob a daily deposit limit.. so I could just deposit 600 a day but thats annoying) So I decided to grind 100nl for a bit. been going alright so far (100nl on $600 stars roll... shippppp the BR management) Got my roll up to around 1.1k now... so time to move up to 200nl imo! 100nl -> 1knl in 30 days! |

Well the year is winding down. I'm just about to head into downtown T.O for a new years club night but thought I'd write in here first. Lookin back on the year its been a craaaazy up and down swingy struggle of running bad and playing bad. Lots of leak fixing, and changing styles. Buuuut finally things seem to have calmed down. The last couple months have been ok. Nothing too balla like nutsinho or alexos, but slowly finding some consistency. Last month up 10k on not that many hands and this month another 10k with half as many. So at this rate I can feel confident in saying that this 100k blog will FINALLY die next month <crosses fingers> Here's to 2009, a year with more consistent solid poker! (and more folding) Happy New Year everyone! |

I haven't posted in a pretty long time! I feel like I'm at one of those important turning points again. The goal of this thread was to get my roll to 100k. I've been playing pretty well the last several months, and as of yesterday morning's session I was at 99.4k. GAH so close! I played another session and dropped 2k, and then another session yesterday and back up to 99.3k! So close again. Then... I'm sitting pretty for the day till Alexos tells me the games are good so I put in an evening session (blames Alexos), and I get completely demolished by variance. I probably had it coming a bit, but not all at once I don't think. I went down 7k in that session. This was the sickest hand of the session by far, and was at 5/10 pounds which makes it worse. Was also one of the last hands of the session where I decided.. wow this isn't gonna end pretty if I keep playing. $5/$10 No Limit Holdem 6 players Converted at weaktight.com Stacks: Hero (UTG) ($1129.00) UTG+1 ($400.00) CO ($316.25) BTN ($1361.00) SB ($1476.50) BB ($2615.00) Pre-flop: ($15, 6 players) Hero is UTG Hero raises to $30, 1 fold, CO calls $30, BTN calls $30, SB calls $25, BB calls $20 Flop:   ($150, 5 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets $89, SB calls $89, BB folds, Hero raises to $299, CO folds, BTN calls $210, SB calls $210 Turn: ($1,047, 3 players)SB bets $271, Hero calls $271, BTN calls $271 River:  ($1,860, 3 players)SB bets $876.50, Hero calls $529, BTN calls $761 Final Pot: $4,026.50 Hero shows: BTN shows:   SB shows:   BTN wins $3,908 ( won +$2,547 ) SB wins $115.50 ( lost -$1,361 ) BB lost -$30 Hero lost -$1,129 CO lost -$30 Current BR: 92.1k In the past, this is where bad things like self destruct would happen, so I can't let that be the case! I was soooo close to 100k yesterday, so gotta stay focused. 100k this month! |

Thanks for the supprt guys! I was playing amazing today. On a huuuge roll, and was up around $6-7k for the session. Then I lost at 5/10 pounds, top set of Kings on Kx6h8h board to QhJh, all in on flop. That's fine.. standard I can deal! Thennn I played the biggest pot of my life against Ravageur. My biggest pot ever (or close to it), and my biggest loss ever. I posted about it in high stakes: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ur-t80870.html Ive been talking to a few ppl about that hand. Some say its a stackoff for sure, and others say it could be a close fold. I'm not entirely sure really. In any case, despite ending the session on a $5k downswing in two hands, I'm still up 1k, so I guess thats something! |

Aside from that, Alexos and I made a gym propbet that started this week. We have to go to the gym three times a week, and for each time under 3 we don't go, we pay the other person $100. I think we're gonna do a 4-week trial and see how it goes. $100 is a pretty steep punishment per gym outing, given that our memberships only cost $30 a month! Sooo I'm gonna predict that we actually never owe each other at all. The only bad thing about this bet that I just realize is that if we're BOTH lazy.. and go 0 times a week... we don't owe anyting to each other. Maybe in that circumstance.. we should have an FTR raffle for our $100 lol In other news, I finished my session today at 99.3k! ANND I played PLO today for a loss of $700. It's like the poker gods are mocking me... given that I'm exactly $700 away from 100k. My punishment for trying PLO after a long time off. In any event..... this blog will be done very soooon imo SHIPP the completion |

101k as of today! Thanks to everyone that followed this along, and commented, and supported! I appreciate it! This was a pretty long swingy road I decided to take. Would have much preferred a nice smooth upswingy road a-la-cocco-bill styles. I must admit, there were definitely times last year where I was just like "oooh man.. this is impossible". Particularly after my 3rd 30k downswing from 80ishk back to 50k again. Was starting to question whether or not this was my thing. Sooo, to anyone that's downswinging. Keep at it! To anyone that tilts too much, STOPPP TILTING. To anyone that spews too much, STOP SPEWING. The only thing special about the last 3 months is that I've just started playing more straightforward, and there's nothing wrong with that. START FOLDING. Sometimes you might fold the best hand, but who cares? Cause the rest of the time you'll fold the worst. Sooo I guess this operation is complete! Maybe I'll start a new one.... 200k in 2009! |
