Lukie, float me some bones?
Roday this far: 1k hands, breakeven. A fucking heroic achievement considering I lost:
1 stack with QQ vs AJ all in preflop
1 stack with KK vs AQs all in on a JKx flop
1 stack with AQ vs 77 all in on the river (half stacks in on the turn, river 7, I payed uberaggro off)
1 stack total with crap like AK vs shorty T9 all in preflop
Not much to whine about, but they just keep adding up now. Playing great though (getting the monies in etc) ;)
standard protocol for me now is to drop 9 or 10k then go on another heater. rinse and repeat.Quote:

How many hands do you have on 2/4?
I just realized I am 1k hands from 100k hands of shorthanded total (since June somewhere, I have accelerated my pace since then) starting at 100NL. Expect a big rate-my-stats-post tomorrow. Finished today up $500 or so, good night.
Btw, why Full Tilt?
(I am gonna OWN the 400NL 5max at Eurobet as soon as I get my %"&%!"#/!"#%& money in Neteller)
hmm, I honestly have no idea how many hands I've logged at 2/4. Several hundred thousand. Definitely less then 500,000 though. Keep in mind, I've been at 2/4 on and off for a good 6-7 months now, and this certainly isn't one of my bad stretches. :)Quote:

GL on eurobet. :)
Make some vids, write some posts on how to beat regular regulars when you suck at getting reads :( Also on 12-tabling plz
i think 12 tabling might be why lukie is never going to move upQuote:

so yesterday, I waited 4 hours in line for a 5/10 table to sit with this whale. And trust me, do I mean whale. The two coolest hands I saw were when he open-limped his bn with 88 (150bb eff) and stacked off with one of the blinds on a 752r board in an unraised pot. SB I think? showed 75, allin on flop, turn K, river 2. Same guy lost allin preflop with AA to whale's 88. Other halarity ensues.Quote:

hmmm, tonight kinda sucked but I'm probably just being petty. I'm very tired so I only played about 2400 hands and made $700ish.
That said, tonight was heater material. I ran awesome but played so shitty. All of my hands held, I had a couple nice suckouts, was up 5 or 6 buyins at one point, then I just started spewing and making bad calldowns.
Things could be worse, so whatever.
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/554/darnsu4.jpg
+45 buyins
One thing that I do want to point out that I felt a good job of doing the last couple days is quitting when I'm not mentally ready to play.
Yesterday I had 2 sessions. At the end of the first one I was just running terribly and was probably steaming a bit. It was definitely affecting my play. I took an hour or two break, came back, and turned a -3ish buyin day into a +3ish buyin day.
Today, I felt like I was playing bad, possibly due to being tired after only getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep last night in order to get up for thanksgiving dinner (that happened to be breakfast for me @ 4pm), so I just wrapped it up. I'm disappointed that I didn't take real advantage of what was obviously a nice run of cards, but I also know that in the past I have dropped a LOT of money in similar situations, so to say that I made almost 2 buyins on the night is cool. I will wake up tomorrow happy.
You're insane, congrats on making most ppls annual salary in the past 3 weeks.
tyty
I just played about 5500 hands. Everything that could possibly go wrong, did.
When all was said and done, I dropped about 4 buyins. Nothing too major, but it did snap my streak of almost 2 weeks without a losing day. I'll be back tomorrow. :)
Actually, wait, scratch that. There WAS one hand that everything went perfect. I didn't lead the turn nor river like I was tempted to. Interestingly, I think the only time that this guy (I've played with him a bunch) has ever pulled a prahlad style river bet, I had it (it being the nuts).

hyachachachach, one thing I love about pokerstars is they always come up with such creative ways to screw people. I think I'm going to email them today and ask them to turn my boomswitch back on though.
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5236/danggz2.jpg[/quote]
I keep pushing kings into aces, sets into bigger sets, and 6 high flush draws into full houses! What do I do???
the good news: the games at 10 am are remarkably soft. A ton of the regulars are raising less then 10% of their hands, people actually call raises form the blinds and routinely check/fold after the flop bet and there are actually players that resemble a classic 'fish' instead of the lower-end tagg/nitty regulars that I normally consider to be the fish. Awesome.
In related news, Galapogos was recently seen taking stabs at the 2/4 games at about 10am...Quote:

but, what i liked most... dealt AA 25 times every day :)
cracked 5.5 times every day :(
most of us would love to have AA cracked 5 times every day...lol.
that is a shitload of hands, man...keep it up!
lol, yeah, it is a shitload of hands. :)
I've only been playing 2-3k hands a day for the last few days, and it feels nice. PS, I've had aces cracked, mangled, laughed at, and pissed on in more ways then you will ever want to know.
I've since recouped most of my losses of my 11-12ish buyin downswing. To end my session last night, I was 2-tabling heads up with this guy and the games were just brutally aggressive. I still ended up a couple buyins on him but these 2 hands here are just frustration, tilt, being tired, and probably a couple other things. The first hand possibly (definitely) lead to the second hand. I wasn't too happy. The river call in the 2nd one comes with some history in that I had snap called reasonably large river bets, but never a full buyin when my hand was face-up on the table. Put that down as a miserable call. I immediately x'd out of both tables after it happened, and it took me all of 1 or 2 minutes to completely regain my composure. I was too tired though at that point to go back and play. I think we were both sitting like 800-1000 deep on the other table where he had not rebought and I had.

I'm gonna play tonight after my short break and do the best I can of November.
good god the games are soft earlier in the day. I made about 4 buyins just now but could easily have made 10+. I need to start waking up at 10am more often. Oh yeah in the last few days I completely busted out of my 11-12 buyinish downswing. It wasn't worth my time.
ps, yes that says 99k hands in 19 days. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It's far and away my most concentrated stretch of hands ever and I'm honestly not drained in the least. I think this is a good thing.
http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2333/wheeeevl3.jpg
I've played 100k hands since June
<3
lukie,
3 things:
1) did you use that graphing link posted earlier in the thread to get that graph up?
2) 16k in 20 days is more than most "9-5ers" make in a quarter...great run.
3) dont be offended, but if you jam this many hands in a day by 12-tabling, how can you make any reads and "improve your game?" i think i saw you ask somewhere that you wanted to improve your game. can you make reads? how accurate are they? i have enough trouble paying attention to 2 tables of 6max, and can only 4-table FR games. i hardly make reads on FR, too. do you have any tricks, or are you just on speed all day? :lol:
great job. write a lukie 6max guide when you get inspired.
So this is like ~2ptbb/100, right?

Sometimes I find myself pondering what to do facing a large river bet while going on 'auto-pilot' on other tables and I still feel I make reasonably good decisions in these spots. As far as reads go, consider that I don't really practice table selection and have no problem sitting down in a game full of regulars. Between being very familiar with the 2/4 player pool, my HUD, and what I feel is a very good ability to multitask, and the fact that I've played 8+ tables for such a long time, I feel that I am still able to put these things together and make decent reads and good decisions. If I cut the # of tables in half, I feel I could play better, at the expense of some short-term profits.
your "multi-tasking" ability must be phenom. next you will tell me that you cut your hair, brush your teeth, and take a dookie while having 11 tables open...lol.
if you can even make semi-reads w/ 8+ tables open, i say do it up. cutting your tables in half seems it would not boost profit enough to justify doing it...for you.
the rest of us prolly need to stick to a couple tables at a time.
thanks for the answers.
this is the first time i've seen this thread AND holy mother fucking assholed son of a bitch you play a LOT of poker....... i was proud of myself for playing 10k hands in a month... 100k hands in 19 days?!?! that's just sick man! good job!
There's this guy over at 2p2 who is like an arch-nemesis to me, yvesaint. He was down to 3 tabling 1/2 earlier with his entire roll. Naturally, I had to sit at these tables and help him enroute to bustoville. The whole session started off when he pushed A6s into my 3-bet (KK) and doubled up with aces up HYACHACHACH. I pulled up 12 tables b/c I hate red in pokertracker and ended up dropping like 6 stacks, 4 or so of which I sent to him.
ps, losing over $1/hand at 1/2 is embarrassing. Getting stacked with an overpair at over 200bb deep (thank god by someone else) is also fairly bad. oh well.
If you're 12-tabling does that include those new fast tables?
100k in 19 days is f**king amazing btw, well done!
lol @ yvessaint = busto
yes sir.. I basically just sit in empty seats and that is my only table/seat selection that I practice.Quote:

o rly? He had between 1k-1.5k spread over three 1/2 tables a couple hours ago when I quit. God I am so pissed that I sent like $800 his way. I don't even care about the 6 stacks that I dropped. I don't really hate the guy but he's just so cocky and annoying, and he tells me to die way too much.Quote:

You said he had his whole roll on the table and If that was his whole roll, he'd still be damn near busto. Must be a 2+2 inside joke that went over my head.
true, especially considering he is a former 25/50NL player. :lol:
3 more consecutive months, plz.
yvesaint and i are cool, ill tell him to be nice to you
Yves is a good kid and a funny character, however he's on life tilt at the moment after losing a lot of money this month and running awful and as a result probably playing bad as well.
For the record, when I played for a living my daily goal was 2k hands.
lukie, you're my hero
Haha. Did you quit too? I handed my account over to bobby.Quote:

Anyway, I think I'm moving back up to 5/10 again, despite being on a bit of a 2/4 and 1/2 (lol) downswing. I played a 2k hand session a bit ago, made only $100 or so, but ran like complete dogshit. However, I feel like I really outplayed a lot of the regulars, and really kept my composure and played well even when things weren't going my way.
is 3/6 teh suk?
meh, I've only played about 700 hands there since we started the prop bet and I'm down a bit over 2 buyins. I'm also down $1325 at 1/2 in less then that amount of hands. I don't care what anybody says, that's impressive.Quote:

Ok getting ready for my last session of the challenge. Things have turned a liiiittle bit brighter actually. 7k so far in November and 2100 up since the 13th (challenge start). I blame not getting my money where I wanted them, and also Lukie for playing 2 million hands.
That was fun
Hand 1: 84s in BB. UTG minraises preflop and 5 out of 6 people calls, I call because of teh great pot odds. Flop 48T. UTG MINBETS, 2 calls and a small raise, I check-3bet everyone. Only UTG calls. I push blank turn, he calls with AA and MHIG. Nice AA play. I probably played like an asshat but oh well.
2 hands later: I get QQ on the button, do my standard $16 raise and SB (same villain as before) calls. Flop AQ6 two clubs. SB bets, I raise, yada yada we get all in again (100bb effective stacks) and he has A6. Thought he was gonna get 2-par revenge? HA! Then he left.
+2k this far today, I'm aiming for an honorable finish
+22.5k
Official update and final stuff:
November: 24k hands, $8800 (yeah best $$$ month ever after all)
Lukie challenge: 17k hands: $3430 profit.
-$100 for prop bet, unless Lukie loses like 20k in a few hours. ;)
gg
Nice job, Sandstorm
prop bet results: 86k hands at 2/4, +22.5k. I may play a bit later.
