WTF lol, if anyone uses a obv set line but on a draw heavy board ill pass you my stack and ask for your signature!! Pwned!! Usually when I smell something uber fishy I call/fold if Ive a decent hand.

oh miffed are we doing some comparison thing?? 18th March to 18TH of April was it?

I was +$3255 during that period

my +9k run on prima during sept-nov obviously means i have to busto before i can win a hand again

AA hasnt won an all in preflop for 4k hands or something (8times?) and ive been constantly ste over setted and bricked all kinds of hands.

UGH UGLY!!!

If you think of it another way:::::

Miffed gives to Fish who give to DG who gives to Miffed HU

Happy?

Bankroll update:

BR: $7271

fuck sake, lost $152. actually thought i was down $200 just before i typed this. argh now im reasonably pissed off.

Cardmans is running away with an early lead. anyway no more forcing myself to play.

had my exam tonight, im fairly happy with how it went even tho i did next to nothing for it

Hmm I have been thinking and I know im way overrolled for 100NL 6max. So even tho im running meh-like at the moment if im feeling good tonight ill try 200NL (have forced myself to play tired last 2 sessions). I have the feel for 100NL now and while my stats arent in line with the standard rates i may aswell try it anyway and continue to improve there.

I only 4 table coz more than that seems crazy to me right now, but my reads have increased a 100 fold tho so im enjoying it too.

i gotta ask more questions of hands and post more hands here too. just the only time i get to post is when in work and dont have HHs with me.

good stuff man,

saturday and sunday have almost always been great days for me regarding biggest ever upswings. overall i think im riding a little above average variance. my ptbb/100 are 6+ across all levels

Fri/Sat are either really good or really bad for me. No in between!!

ok this is why u dont fold KK PF.

Wow well i finished a decent shot at 200NL SH tonight with some mixed results. Found myself down $280 at one point, of course this made cardman even further ahead LOL. Not nice to be catching up when you just begin a session.

Funny kinda thing happened, i 4 tabled 200NL with 1100 i think in the bank. not good BR Mgt and i tried top up at a table, insufficient funds!!! just quickied a neteller and back in the game.

Some hands gentlemen, berate at will plz. each hand i post id like an opinion, not just these but any i do post.

THe winners first.............

1. turn isnt standard but nobody wanted it and its better im OOP to take a shot.

Yo GOAT. This converter works for Prima skins:

And not posting results makes it easier to comment. I haven't looked at these yet, but I'll try to if you clean them up :P

give me a few minutes to tidy it thx

amn i was so fucking annoyed earlier guys::

gf came round and we said we'd get a chinese takeaway
gf was aggro coz she was starving
got dinner and set it up
i put plate on table
plate falls off table, face down,
i shout ''fuck'' has its flying to the floor
chicken curry all over my slip ons
ruined, im super pissed off right then
gotta leave my house coz i cant even speak to the gf right now
stop by gas station b4 her house, im still fuming inside
i park too far away from the pump
but still try use it
over stretched the line and still manged to put it in the car
press down on the lever only for the petrol
to fire back out all over me
ARGH
and now my bedroom smells of curry and petrol

LOL. Funny stories. But that sucks. Sorry man.

The converter acted funny... you lost stack sizes and the cards didn't show up (I edited them so they did). You need to select FTR as your output format and check the "Show Stacks (NL and PL)" box and click "Save Settings".

wtf gf was aggro? Do u play WoW or something? I'm on a sick rush on Prima, +1500 in 1600 hands @ 1/2, downswing time, i will be sure to spam the chatbawx with Kelly Clarkson if I see you

Kelly Clarkson's music sucks but she is hawt. I forgot to get her something for her birthday the other day. I'm such a bad ex-boyfriend.....

gf was aggro means she was in foul humour, cranky, or aggrevaited.

I dont think Prima 200NL have any special players oveall.

oh i finished up a buyin yesterday tho, thanks for adding in the detail zook. i thought i previewed them oops

EDIT: shit im still missing stacks, treat all hands like all players have full stacks tho coz they pretty much were

EDIT#2: BTW i will fix stacks when i get home guys

stacks fixed

1. I like.

2. I play this slower. Flat call flop, raise turn probably.

3. I raise the flop, there are a lot of cards you don't want to see hit the turn, and if he 3-bets AI, you can find a fold. Turn is weird, do you think he's calling with hands you beat? TT or A9 maybe, if he thinks you're a big bluffer, but he has to fold missed overs here. If you think HE's a big bluffer and has missed overs here, why not call and let him try to hit his 6-outer on the river?

4. Re-raise a lot more pre-flop. 4x is my standard oop. Flop is good.

5. Ok, I guess. Scary river, but you have to call imo.

6. I'm probably c/c'ing the turn. As played, maybe folding to the turn raise and definitely folding the river. The turn minraise does not say AT, and you have the worst good hand on a really scary board.

1. bet less on the river, i'll let you figure out why.

3. what are u beating? You just allowed opponent to maipulate you exactly how he wanted to.

5. check behind turn even though he's a fish i think.

what a load of fucking bollox, im at the juiciest ever tables and cant hit a flop to save my life or a felt TP vs masive calling stations for them to win. mF!

down $700

my mind is fine, i think i even overplayed vs maniac player. i think i should lay down vs last 2 opp unless someone would like to chime in on them. thx guys.

mmmwwwwaaahhhhhaaaahhhhhaaaa

cardsman im back in the game


+$814 and ill play for another 30 minutes

EDIT: LOL oh what a few minutes can do to you. +$500 now.

I might bet turn in hand 1, but I don't think check is bad. Why do you think this is bad? Nice river suckout....


Against this op, either lead or checkraise hand 2 I think. Give up on turn if called. I think check calling two streets here isn't great. River suckout again?

I give up on turn in hand 3. No need to escalate a limped pot without at least 2 pair.
I sure can't call that river, and you didn't have odds on turn IMO.

I think you have to give up to the turn checkraise or push over it in hand 4. It's obvious he wants to go to showdown, and I don't think K5 will win it unless you get a diamond.

Not sure what you beat in hand 5 or what the push is accomplishing. This to me is a hand where you want to control the pot. Broadway boards suck to build a pot with when you have TPTK.....

Hand 6 is tough, and I probably call too. you aren't getting 3:1, and I think you are beat more than 25% of the time. I think you ran into rivered flush or str8. It would take discipline to fold this....

Hand 7 is a repeat maybe?

Didn't get to play last night, but plan on getting plenty of hands in tonight. What's the score now? I am +$60......

Cman +$60-DG -$103

not too bad really

cant beleive this weekend so far im back down to only +$156

i bet $60ish into $90ish pot, i dont really know why i should bet less!! looks like i want a call or looks like im weak. opp's have only called me down so maybe they wont get very aggro on river. i dont see anyone folding a Q to either 40 or 60 bet so 60 is goot. shoving could be good to but im not really getting alot of aggro action here to justify. i do think you mean smaller so i may either get someone to shove over me or best case scenario i get 2 callers for 40 each instead of 1 caller for 60 (unlikely tho) or 1 caller and another shove over type scenario

3. what are u beating? You just allowed opponent to maipulate you exactly how he wanted to.

opp was so bad that i do think he calls with TP, opp was prone to make big bets when in control so i decided to not scare him off now and earn the next bet which he WILL make. whether its good or bad i dunno maybe i could repop flop but if he shoved hmm i may cry call he was that bad

5. check behind turn even though he's a fish i think.

i wouldnt disagree but i think id miss value vs this guy by checking. once i hit im confident to play for stacks seriously. river sucked when opp bet out tho, i guess i COULD fold but.....................i do think i should folded here in hindsight.

Zook, thx for your comments too. On the A8 hand where i flopped a FH i think calling shows so much strength that i think raising maybe better. i think ive got to play the hand like opp has 88 or an A

Saw you today at Prima, wrote you but you didnt answer, I think you were playing so I dont fault you to much

I wanted to isolate on flop but opp didnt co-op, BTW dont have a shit attack coz im really only calling $30ish more at the end not actually another $60ish bet

Actually these seem to be pretty much all my main hands.

Mentally im still ok but this stretch is a little tough for me, even saying that is a bit much really. just a tiny hint of the feeling i gotta study more. i usually get to read every morn b4 work but im so busy in work i gotta go work str8 away. i think i may just need a bit of revision on concepts mostly.

i bet $60ish into $90ish pot, i dont really know why i should bet less!! looks like i want a call or looks like im weak. opp's have only called me down so maybe they wont get very aggro on river. i dont see anyone folding a Q to either 40 or 60 bet so 60 is goot. shoving could be good to but im not really getting alot of aggro action here to justify. i do think you mean smaller so i may either get someone to shove over me or best case scenario i get 2 callers for 40 each instead of 1 caller for 60 (unlikely tho) or 1 caller and another shove over type scenario

unless they are the type of players that are going to flat call with a Q in this spot, bet less because we get more value from worse hands and we get more bluffs. I'd say bet like $40, u may get some really weak calls and most people raise u with a Q. Shoving is horrid unless the players are really passive.

3. what are u beating? You just allowed opponent to maipulate you exactly how he wanted to.

opp was so bad that i do think he calls with TP, opp was prone to make big bets when in control so i decided to not scare him off now and earn the next bet which he WILL make. whether its good or bad i dunno maybe i could repop flop but if he shoved hmm i may cry call he was that bad

I'd like more reads here. idk why i said what i said, must have thought opp was a reg. Without more reads i have no idea what to do.



5. check behind turn even though he's a fish i think.

i wouldnt disagree but i think id miss value vs this guy by checking. once i hit im confident to play for stacks seriously. river sucked when opp bet out tho, i guess i COULD fold but.....................i do think i should folded here in hindsight.

as nitty as it is i think i fold here too on riv, this guy either hit two pair, a straight, or missed a fd. Teh ladder seems unlikely, considering his bet is like 1/3rd the pot. Turn is a bet idk why i said check.

Zook, thx for your comments too. On the A8 hand where i flopped a FH i think calling shows so much strength that i think raising maybe better. i think ive got to play the hand like opp has 88 or an A

br $6685

Heres my graph for April folks, the month didnt end as bad as i thought really. im down about 2 buyins at 200NL but im fine with that, mistakes have cost me much more. had a few suckouts go against me but i think i deserve to be down some just based on some bad plays, more so in calling river bets i shouldnt.

PLayed some today for +$115. not much happened but these few hands.

Fuck sake tho opp's was 11% PFR with around 21% VPIP. i think this could be a bad move vs his range esp. OOP!! as played tho i dont know what to put him on exactly!! just either JJ or QQ only but its just so so timidly played

getting frustrated at not hitting flops. going thru such a dry patch at the moment im slightly doubting ability but im trying to stay focused

Im getting so frustrated right now that im not beginning sessions with my usual confidence. This is a feeling ive never really felt before, i usually pass it off and am able to just move on but 200NL 6max is hurting me. Im somewhere just below BE. I think players are playing back at me till i find they have the goods. Im sick of been floated when i dont have a crazy high c/c rate. AARGRGHH, i may of moved up to fast from 100NL and just am unable to deal with the pace or something (i dunno). i cannot blame variance. i think i gotta leave the game for a while and regroup. i dont like the fact i havent really study at all lately which i know is a huge leak. TOP here i come.

what a difference a few days makes!!

Im feeling positive again. I havent played cash since sunday. I played Taipan HU on Monday morning and won 3:0 on games, it was probably the first time I had a hell of alot of fun playing poker in awhile and i think its helped me get positive again. Ive read up on a few things on 2+2 that made me think abit more. if im in the mood ill take another swing at 200NL. god ive been around the 6.5K-7.2K mark for a long time it feels.

Also it could be important to go between different games sometimes i guess. Like maybe play a session of SNGs once a month or whatever or a few MTTs a month just to mix it up. I dont really figure Cash a real grind yet but stepping back from it has helpe (lol even if it was only 1-2 days off).

id love to trade HH with fellow 200NL 6max'ers and review each others. PM if interested.

played some last night for +$241. i played with focus and it paid off. i got back to basics and didnt get out of line tho i made some thin plays. Just feeling good at the moment, just wish work wasnt a pain at the minute.

The most important thing to remember in these stretches is that if you play correctly as much as possible, you will make a comeback. It is extremely discouraging to get your money in ahead and get drawn out on time after time, or to make stupid mistakes that you KNOW are mistakes. I have had many stretches where my BR fluctuates and trends down and it is mentally draining, for sure. For the longest time it seemed like I couldn't break the $5K barrier, then it was the $6K barrier. Now if I hadn't withdrawn it would be $8K in my roll.

Keeping your confidence is tough, but it is key!

Glad to see you are on your way back, no matter how badly I want to win our bet!

thx for that post cman, couldnt of come at a better time. im down $230 tonight. i played way way too tight tonight but i couldnt find cards. seems like i have one big win and many medium losses. I think i played but started to get frustrated tonight so im finishing up now. got stacked with KK vs AA so thats the main reason im down. I seem to end every session lately down 1 buyin which i guess tolerable enough.

i was thinking seriously (maybe tilting) for moving down to 100NL. i dont think ive truely adjusted to 6max yet but since ive the BR for 200NL and think im playing well enough then i should stay up and im not attached that much to whats at stake.

If you can stop when you know you are frustrated, you are a step ahead of me. I so often think I can "get it back against these idiots". Then it snowballs.

One other thing I have tossed around to a few people here....once you get used to the aggression at 6 max, your FR game only gets better......so you might try throwing a couple of FR tables in.

I'm off to dinner and beer...tty tomorrow.

In regards to the downswing you seem to be in, i would try very, very hard to stay positive. From my perspective, it is quite amazing that you were playing 10-25NL just a few months ago and are at 200NL now. Just one thing to remember when things aren't clicking.

Also, when i am losing i try to think of the money in terms of buy ins. I can relate to the moments when you are -$500+ and you don't see it turning around. But really, it is only a relatively small swing (-2.5BI) and pretty soon you will have a +$700 night, and then another, and another.


Remember results are irrelevant (when you aren't winning big)

thx guys. i checked my stats last night im down 4 buyins over 7K hands at 200NL. its nothing i should worry about really i just havent had a good run great but ive also alot of improvement to make. My postflop skills are solid-ish but need a hell of alot of improvement.

ill play again tonight.

i dunno, again ive lost $400 tonight. this is turning into a slippery slope. Im have to move down and build up some more.

I feel ya, if my BR dips to 5k I am slumming at 100nl for awhile, gl2u

i must be hovering above 6K . another G and im back

Ah its a crazy world. i dropped down to 100NL and won $176. iwa sup to $250 and down to $25 at some stages.

Ive gone from being a 19/13 TAG at 200NL to a 25/19 LAG at 100NL. Ive never played a LAG type game really but it worked. The gulf in quality seemed so much different but the level of sharpness and awareness i played with felt so good. I spewed off aload of chips at times but i did feel they'd help later to get paid. I really tried to experiment at times coz i do want to be a LAG player, its alot more fun.

In nutshell i ran over the table. Will post some hands soon.

Ugh i dont feel so good this morning in work!!! Played from 9:30pm-2am last night. I sat down and felt like paying abit but had trouble deciding what game i wanted to play:

-Didnt want to autopilot 100NL FR 8 Table
-PLO was a factor but i like just playing fr an hour max there as i learn the game but still try play NL

Battefield 6max didnt look inviting so I threw 2G's on PartyPoker t see what all the fuss about softness there is like. Opened up 200NL 6max (zook said i should stick at 200NL so i tried it again) and i pwned it for +$500. Was up $800 then down to $133 trying to get my money in the middle vs one specific fish but lost 2 HUGE pots vs him.

Lets hope this is the turn around coz everyone seems to be a bit down lately. All suffering a bad run together.

GL man....downswings suck obv....

I need you to catch up!!!!

+238 last night.....Should have been a lot more.

Last 25K hands $100 FR=over 6ptBB/100.

I will post my score so far when im home. Its got to be less than a G tho by now. i kinda stopped posting it so it didnt feel like chasing losses

anyone around to help me with vent?? on MSN, Yahoo

Goat is that you in your av? That's kinda how I always pictured you looking.

lol at GMML

Played last night and dropped $200 buyin almost immediately. ost $300 total then within 300 hands and left. Argh.

Im in such a limbo pace right now regards what to do poker wise. I do need to purchase things out of my roll soon so maybe grinding 100NL FR would be better for the next few months.

Have to pay for car insurance which is very very expensive in Dublin. First year cost 1700 euros, this year i hope around 1300 euros.

Also last night I said id get a place with the gf along with some friends so thats gonna cost for the inital setup. argh

i guess what im saying is i might have to hold off on improving and risking some BR and just go for less variance but almost gauranteed profit.

Im in the same boat. I have to withdraw money every month to pay for my bills, only like $500 though since my gf pays for most of the bills. Thats one of the main reasons im switching to cash games so that the variance isnt so high. You get your vent figured out yet? Im on now.

no i didnt get it sorted yet.

im in work again. PM me your AIM name tho, i havent set it up on the work PC yet.

THese are once off type payments but dont want it denting my BR too much so if i just work on profit than improving it puts me in a better spot after paying for the things to actually begin where i left off

My aim is the same as my username here.

just noticed im passed 2ooo posts

Be happy with that quote, my first year was E7k, second E3.5 and so on

you Irish Ghandii,

I wanted a 1.6 and qouted 3K. ended up with a 1.2lt at 1.7K. Did crash the car but didnt claim so hopefully it goes down, Ive also moved since i got the insurance coz the area i grew up in is among the most expensive (thank you joyriders and car-torchers)

Found a Party reload code if you're interested.

IGMPAY for 20%.

Found it typing "party poker reload bonus code" into Yahoo. Was the 2nd or third item down. If you decide to use it and it works let me know and ill rape that after ive done the stars bonus.

probably to a max of $100 but ill take it no problem.

BR back up to $6990

I suck updating my thread

EDIT: then i went and lost $75 playing PLO. Gamboolllllll, I moved up to $50PLO. PLayed 2 tables or 25PLO and 2 for 50PLO. lost a buyin at both tables mostly due to only 2 hands. got it allin PF 3 way action at 25LO table with AA9x one suit and another was AI on flop with FD/gutshot/think i had 2 pair (at least a pair anyway) vs top set. i hit FD in turn but opp filled up on river, c'est la vie!

another tough day today results wise. down $640. i think i played well overall and am definitly adapting to the play, still need alot of postflop work but christ do i need some cards soon.

2 hands which are the main factors in my losses.

hand 1- i pulled off the yeti theorem vs this guy a few orbits earlier.

Hand 2 you have not other choice but to bet turn, unless you thought villain would bet (hopefully push) if checked to. Even then I snapcall.

Hand 1 was rough. I did read somewhere, though that the only card that hits a person harder than a flop with a T in it is a flop with an A in it (did that make sense?). That being said, I think you could avoid pushing. Maybe try for cheaper showdown.
