Operation $20k

    Default Operation $20k

    So the last operation i posted went to the way side, basically I stopped playing due to burnout/running bad/college work. So now all super refreshed after 5/6 weeks off, and after spending all that time reading forums/thinking about poker I'm ready to crush the internets!

    Lodged $600 on party (thinly veiled brag!) about a month ago, but have only really started playing this week, after a 2 hour 4+buyin session tonight I'm up to 2.2k after 7kish hands, for a total bankroll of just over 3.5k.

    I'm gonna move up to 200nl when I hit 20 buyins, I feel like I'm top of my game and I'm beating 100nl for 11.5bbs/100 so I feel goot to go.
    If i drop 3 buyins i guess I'll drop down.

    So the target is 20k for the summer, the way things are going I should hopefully do better.

    let's gogogogogogogo!

    aggghhh, I'm played very poorly the last two nights, probably playing too many tables as well. Was up 2/3 buyins and finished down two each night.

    these games are easy, I should be killing them, instead of spewing chips left right and centre. Really have to get my act together.

    Default update!

    I'm on a close to 20 buyin downswing, ugh, really losing doubt that I'm a winning player. sick sick sick.

    Basically it went 8k hands up $2k, next 22k hands $-2k.

    Probably just going to take a day or two off and go through all my sessions, maybe post up some hands.



    edit: does anyone here play nl100 on party btw? wanna swap sns, notes, and w/e? plus tell me I suck and shouldn't play poker

    I had an interesting session tonight, good few interesting hands, I'm too tired to go dig them up and convert them right now, but hopefully I'll do it tomorrow. Only finished up about 2 buyins but it was good to book a win for once. I also leanred a good bit tonight from various situations. So it was at least productive even if i didn't make much $$$.

    This is a graph from the last two nights, I was pretty much break even tonight (last 4k hands), but was happy with how I played, pretty much all the big pots i lost were just outdraws and coolers and stuff.

    A couple of days like this and I'll be robusto!





    check out this. I'm such a nit for insta-folding

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($90.50)
    Hero ($188.63)
    BB ($137.87)
    UTG ($42.06)
    MP ($87.05)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, Q.
    1 fold, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB raises to $2.5, MP calls $2, Hero calls $2.

    Flop: ($9) J, J, Q (3 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets $6, MP raises to $20, Hero folds, BB calls $14.

    Turn: ($49) 8 (2 players)
    BB bets $20, BB calls $44.05.

    River: ($113.05) 4 (2 players)

    Final Pot: $113.05

    Results in white below:
    BB has 6s 6c (two pair, jacks and sixes).
    MP has 3h 3d (two pair, jacks and threes).
    Outcome: BB wins $113.05.

    Hey Phantom good luck with your operation. I really appreciate the links to some of your other threads you posted in your other operation. It really helps to see a condensed list of these sort of things, even if they are available through other mediums, it helps to see them all in one place.

    I'm confident you can reach your goal, just keep a clear head and it will be smooth sailing (easier said than done)

    hohum. I'm break-even over 50k, which sucks, esp since I was like 5bbs/100 over 40k on tribeca when I was a way worse player than now. anyway. here's a graph, but it's missing some hands for some reason and has me up $$$.

    I've been running pretty bad, and as a consequence playing pretty bad, with a lack of confidence. so I'm gonna take the painful step of dropping to 50nl .

    basically my roll isn't in great shape, so I'm gonna go play 20k hands, regain my confidence that I can actually play poker, rebuild and then go play 100nl again. should take me less than a week. so operation $20k is now operation 20k hands... I'll post results when I finish.

    Haven’t updated this in a while, there was is written in my poker blog shanespokerblog.blogspot.com , but basically ran bad, played bad, had to cash out some, run horrifically, didn’t get the rb I was due off party, and suddenly was left with $300.

    Spent about two weeks grinding my way back up from micro and now have the roll for 100nl again, woot.

    I never really posted hands in this, so I’ve decided to post my top 5 winning and losing hands each day in this thread, might as well add some content. There’s no converter for ipoker atm unfortunately, so I’m just gonna edit the hhs.

    Played about 2k hands last night and finished up 6 buyins. Ship it.
