Operation Get to 5k.

Hey guys.

I guess I will do an operation too.
I want to get to a 5k bankroll. I started at 1680 when I first started this goal now im up to 2235.
A little history... I first built up a roll from 50 to 1800 playing sngs and some cash but then for some dumb reason I cashed all of that out except 50 and stopped playing for awhile, that was about a year ago. Then I built that 50 up to another 2000 something but I had to give some money away to a couple friends who had to withdraw all their money and had no way of depositing and I ran pretty bad. Down to about 1300 but came back up and hovered around 1600-1700 for awhile and then decided to start this. Now that I've got my roll back up I can finally start playing 100nl again.
I'm going to start 4 tabling that and maybe add more tables if I feel it's necessary. I'll be playing on Full Tilt where I do have rakeback.

Ok so I'll get this operation going... I will post hands and give updates. 5k in no time.

running like shit. very frustrating cant get hit a flop or get a hand.
when i finally do shit like this happens.
btw is there a converter for fulltilt hands?

Ok well managed to win a stack with aces.
So far im just 2 tabling without a hud (see my thread in poker tools about PO help).
500 hands in down -130. The hand above didn't help and im just not hitting flops while my opponets have been. 500 hands is really nothing anyways. Haven't had any big mistakes unless you consider the above AJ hand a mistake, which I dont.

So far my stats are VPIP 17.9 and PFR 11.4 .... full ring

fucking christ why do i have to run so motherfucking bad when i play 100nl?????
KK vs AA he just calls pf we both hit sets....

Q8 sb min raises my blind with AQ flop Q82 get allin hits fucking runner 10's.

god forbid i could just run normal not good just fucking normal my god. so god damn frustrating.

ok update...

got pokeroffice working... cant resize yet but still better .

1100 hands at 100nl only down 108 despite all this shit.
VPIP 17.4
PFR 11.8
show downs won% 33
Im feeling very confident about my play right now i just need to run better

and another update.

Finally doing better, I was down $250 dollars at 100nl but now I'm up $55 after going up $186 so far today.

So Far:
1356 hands played
VPIP 18.1
PFR 12.1
Attemp to steal blinds 37.5
Agr Factor
PF 1.8
Flop 5.6
Turn 3.3
Riv 2.3
Total 2.4

Any of those numbers surprising or bad?

and a graph for the hell of it

gl man, turn and river AF seems high so look into that. maybe your pot control needs work

It's cos you swear too much

ok this afternoon i played 600 some hands and made $128 dollars.
for a total of 1990 hands played for +$182.

ok so thoughts on this hand below? i was just cbetting the flop... he calls, so on turn I'm trying to get the flush draw out and any PPs that he stayed in with that didnt hit sets. then river... idk I called because this was either a set or he missed his draw and with the pot odds i think i was right there enough... but your thoughts on this hand?

Villan was 25/5 btw

i am loving the bigpotgrabber.

ok update
938 more hands in today
+$44.15
got bad beated for my stack once. played pretty good except once where i donked off my stack with an overpair because i thought the guy was just on a draw or i had him beat but he flopped a straight... retarded on my part, no more fuckups like that.

now for totals:
3227 hands
+$230.65
3.55 bb/100
vpip 17.7
pfr 12.0

my aggression numbers are still almost identical... i dont know i feel like im keeping the pots small when i should be but ill look into it.

ok... 663 more hands in. couldnt be more card dead. didnt play well, had a couple dumb mistakes... cbets not taking down anything... fish calling and outflopping me and nitty regulars floating my cbets with PPs all day... then when i do fire another barrel they actually do have something... idk bad timing or maybe just really not playing well being tired after work. and getting good seats is a bitch so many fuckin multitabling nits on full tilt, just pisses me off.
-$90.1 in the 663 hands

lol at this hand... wtf is going on preflop... and then i guess if you wanna give me 64 to 1 pot odds. does 20 look better here preflop, since there was a caller on the intial bet?

762 hands in for +$60 today.
so now im at 5613 hands for $17... gay....
could have definetly played better but also definetly variance and only 5600 hands.
i really, really, really hope PO gets the update out soon to being able to resize tables... because im going insane, i just played 5600 hands 2 tabling for like 9 days... i guess the good news is that should be around $110 for rakeback so far.

oh and the turn and river aggression numbers have gone down some.

Two-tabling is fun and fast enough when you are baked. Welcome to my world

nitty regulars floating my cbets with PPs all day

This sounds like a hand i played with you that day

... you did have TP on that hand, so you took it down no worries

I finally discovered this page due to a personal interest in starting such a blog. My stats on you say you should make 5k in short order, so GL sir. Though, i think you probably won't need it.

thanks Vi... yea i remember that hand. i think your stats are pretty similar to mine from what we played together so far.

ok today...
737 hands
+$153.9
this could have been a really big day if it wasnt for a couple big suckouts.
total now is
6350 hands
+$171.25

today, 566 hands for -$57.65. didnt really have much to work with and got bad beated but whatever.

Your posts depress me.

lol, why is that... am I too negative or something?

Didn't play much today... got in 240 hands for +$79. nothing new besides that to report really.

ok today...
727 hands
+$25.7
i was down a lot, no stacking off just couldnt hit a flop and every cbet was check raised or reraised. somehow came back and ended up, yay.

post some hands!

ok today i only played 266 hands, but made $175... im too tired to play anymore today.

nice session. When i ran into you earlier today it looked like you were doing quite nicely.

Hand 1: I think you should have just called the turn. After he bet out strongly again i don't think you are often ahead. Just call, and fold if you miss all of your many outs (Heart, K, 8, Q, dead outs: (9+3+3+2 +(-3 i usually take out 2 or 3 outs since they all can't possibly still be in the deck). 14 outs makes you about a 2:1 dog against most of his range here. Yeah, just call and then hopefully get him to put some chips in on the river when you hit.

Hand 2: nh

? you cant really take outs away because they arent all there... because then you would have to take other cards away too that werent your outs and your chances of hitting an out would be the same.

havent really played much the last few days. but i got 18th i think out of like 900 in a $26 freezout for like $150. should have been a lot more but w/e. BR is like 3200 now.

I think you can take outs away because there are cards already missing from the remaining deck since other players were dealt cards.

Also, looking back at hand 2 i think you played it well but for the wrong reason. If you were afraid that he may have flopped a flush as well i think you have to decide on the flop whether you are going to play for stacks. As played, you get maximum value from worse hands so the line was good but i think it was for the wrong reason.

Congrats on your roll. If i were a betting man i would say you will have your 5k by 6/01/07.

if you do that... you have to take away cards that dont help you too. so your chances of hitting less outs would go up. you have to just go with all the cards you havent seen as remaining cards to get the right odds

yeah, i agree with this... i think i was basically playing for stacks, but for some reason just had a bad feeling on the flop.

that would be nice

i need to start playing more again... ive been busy the last few days though.

if you do that... you have to take away cards that dont help you too. so your chances of hitting less outs would go up. you have to just go with all the cards you havent seen as remaining cards to get the right odds

lol @ me not understanding this until now. Thanks for explaining


Do you have any long term poker goals (like going pro)?

lol yeah that shows you that there is a lot more than just being specific with math odds to poker. considering you beat 100nl pretty well.

yeah being pro is definetly a goal eventually, even if its only like for a few years.

ok... good news PO finally made the update for resizeable tables!
and today i played 425 hands for +$129. havent updated in awhile and didnt really play much today but i will try to start playing more hands.

ok today i played 665 hands for +$142.7 despite one time where i lost my stack basically to a lucky river boat vs my flush.

here are a couple good hands from today.

villan is a 15/4 reg. who would have reraised with AA/KK/QQ right away pf and probably thought i was trying to make a move and pick it up preflop. basically he didnt have anything in his range that he was calling with.

and now i guess ill post a little 10k check up thing in my operation... well almost 10k.

I like hand 1 with reads.

I don't like hand 2 as much. I have to at least call the flop and probably raise a non spade turn, if he were to bet weak again. I think this is a flush draw making a blocking bet/weak ace probing at least some of the time.

Excellent stats btw! I think my 6/07 prediction might be too far ahead if you would just play more

ok today 568 hands for +$150...
had to get off cuz of a storm and have to do some other stuff. so im not gonna post any hands either.
oh and my goal for may is to play 30k hands. i slacked off too much this month and was limited to 2 tables for too long.

765 hands for +$153
really boring session for some reason. made some decent money though.

wow havent played in like 10 days. ive been busy but when ive had time ive had no motivation... you think i would considering ive ran good lately. i dont know any help to get me motivated? or do i just need to stop being so lazy?

wow havent played in like 10 days. ive been busy but when ive had time ive had no motivation... you think i would considering ive ran good lately. i dont know any help to get me motivated? or do i just need to stop being so lazy?

I don't know how to motivate yourself to come back. Maybe you are just feeling burned out -- i can remember taking more than 10 days off from poker before in the last couple of months. I think you ought to wait to come back to playing until you want to. Forcing yourself to play might just make you playing less than optimally, and damaging your roll is worse than not building it. It doesn't look like you are grinding for 1000's of hands a session and frying your brain, so you will probably want to return to playing poker fairly soon.

GL with beating the burnout!

im playing poker!

coming back present first hand set gets runner runnered

756 hands for +$153... ill try to find some good hands from the session.

this is kinda weird... looking at my last sessions as ive posted them in this thread:

425 hands +$129
662 hands +$142
568 hands +$150
765 hands +$153
756 hands +$152

last 2 were almost identical.
just weird, definetly not complaining

315 hands in for +$10.... started storming badly outside. ill probably play more later.

776 hands for +$85

526 hands for +$113

Yo man, you gotta spice up your blog a little haha. Post interesting hands, thoughts etc instead of just updates and statistics. Or not, its up to you.

great call you fucking asshole you fucking deserve it.

+$545 ish
and about $40 in rb. so almost made 600 today.
had to make a lot of big laydowns today too. some already posted in this thread.

I probably don't fold either of those set hands, especially the second one.

most people just refuse to lay down sets period. which is wrong because its really only good advice for people starting out who shouldnt be folding sets.

and if i told you i really really dont believe that particular villan would make that move with a draw there would that make it more of a fold for you?

also if i have 55 on this hand i would have to call.

and im gonna fuckin stab my eyeballs out and chop off my fingers wtf.

SHOULD BE UP FUCKING 900

ok what i did notice about 200nl was that it wasnt really different than 100nl but that was only 723 hands.
and now im gonna go break some shit.

Hand 1: if you are going to c/c flop, you really should lead the turn. for like $35 and 3bet if he raises. IMO he will almost always raise his A-J+ hands since the FD is possible and your bet there would appear to be a blocking bet.

Hand 2: oh well. You played it fine.

Hand 3:

IMO, betting this river is -EV. Q-x that isn't two pair will almost always check behind, and won't call a river bet. Two pair hands will most likely check behind as well, but are much more likely to call a bet on the river. Obviously you percieve this opponent to be a donk (rightly so?), but i don't think you are even ahead of his range on the river.

yeah villan in hand 3 was calling raises pf with shit like 107o then staying in with stuff like 3rd pair the whole way. i figured he would call with just a pair there. i figured i would just put the last 30 in myself to get value out of him calling with stupid stuff on the river that he might just check behind with. but maybe i should have just checked idk.

ok so i played like 1k hands ish of 200nl the last couple days and ran absolutely horrible so many coolers and bad beats. pretty gay to run like that when i first move up.
anyways im dropping back down to 100nl for awhile. and im gonna get a bigger monitor so that i can atleast 6 table.

heres a 200nl graph for your viewing pleasure.

ok so ive grinded the roll back up playing some 100nl.

and i went out and bought a samsung 204b today. and this thing is fucking awesome. i can play 9 tables easily with this.

and heres a 20k hand thing at 100nl for the hell of it.

Nice work man, don't sweat running badly at 200NL.

lol
