Taking a break - New blog soon.

So, this is my today's report on how I played.

This morning I had a little session, which was "ok" so to speak, with ups and downs. Can't be really satisfied with it, but at least managed to be in the "+".

Graph:

Later on, after went to the gym, started a new session. In the beginning was kinda boring and all, because wasn't really getting the cards in the spots I should've. So was kinda camping. ♦ In the end it ended up to be very profitable. Just look at the graph.

Was really happy with the result, and the way I played my hands.

Here are some samples.

And by the way, I downloaded camtasia trial. Tested the recording and was trying to figure out how it works etc. I think tomorrow I will shoot a video of my session and drop it down for you holmeboy.

Peace out

Rihard

Hey Rihard!

Nice graph you have there!

Looks like you're going to be out of nl2 in no time!

RasTweet

I really hope so Ras, I kinda realise that I should be patient for the value hands, bluff in very rare occasions, depending on the opponent stats and tendencies I have noticed during the play. Hopefully soon out of nl2.

Wow. What a sweet session! Must be nice to book in a couple of winning ones in a row haha.

Lmk if you get camtasia working, I'll be able to watch the video tomorrow afternoon if you can get it working ok!

Hi again,

Just FML. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This session was just terribad.. I'm really feeling down. I thought I finally understood how to beat that limit, turns out no. Guys I don't know what to do. I can't even beat the bad players, how then I should beat the good ones?

I recorded some footage. Getting it ready for upload somewhere. I'm going to drop the link somewhere here, hopefully that more than one person could evaluate it. I'm so desperate to improve my game.

Don't worry Rihard! Happened to me as well today! lost 9,5BI's! Sometimes you just can hit a damn thing.

So here it is.

A part of my session.

Epic hand!

These beats...

Shouldn't worry too much about variance's cruelties you'll get it back

Also just noticed that your upswing covers your downswing and them some!

No they don't.

Second session. SO AWESOME.

Overall run since joined PartyPoker.

I wonder when I'm going to be into ++++???????????????? I want to move the limits.

♠_cry:

What are your all in ev red and blue lines like?

Maybe there is something you are doing that is fundamentally a leak.My own graph isn't fantastic I am winning but not crushing but am fixing leaks slowly.

QQ hand: Unless UTG3 is a nit, squeeze pre. As played either raise flop or call/call/call imo. I'd go with call/call/call.

77 hand: That's pretty unlucky.

KT hand: Fold this pre. When he raises UTG3 what weaker Kx hands do you think he has? You'll end up losing a lot of money on K38xx boards when he shows AK/KQ/maybe KJ. As played you can make the flop ~0.18, and really depends on villian but unless he's spazzing out often you can fold the turn. Use equilab and work out how much equity you have vrs his range.

Watched a bit of the vid for you and have a few notes, will message you on skype when i've seen the whole thing.

Pretty much the reason why I played that KT hand was that the table was full of donks and they were so loose, and were opening pretty much any 2x and Ax hand. Maybe I should've folded that one. But that's trip kings, always plays tricks on your mind.

Another "good" day of poker...

Just fuck me.

KK<A2 - flop xx2 turn x river 2 ..................................
AA<33 pre

once I hit my AA on flop or KK, everyone folds.

Any set I hit, everyone folds.

I think I'm just terrible. No other explanation.

Soon enough I will end up without a BR. NL2 is destroying me. ♦:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Fuck my life.

I can only end up in "profit" if I play 10k hands and fold all of them preflop. Even premiums. Even quads I can just fold, why? Because I will be beaten by the river.

Fuck this, hitting the gym.

Okay, I'm back from the gym. Was very tilty, so had to put the pressure of my shoulders. Let's see what can I do now.
