Pokerstars hated me on that day

I didnt play over the weekend because I heard its a donkfest on a sunday on Pokerstars and a lot of bad players just playing for fun. I might play on a different site on weekends (maybe partypoker or an Ipoker skin)

Sunday Tornies
I came 2nd in a $1500 GTD rebuy Torny on IPoker for a decent amount cash yesterday while everyone was playing the Micro Million Main Event and Sunday Storm Special. I was really in a Torny mood yesterday; I reg in my first Sunday Storm then unregister 15mins before because I couldnt bother.

Pokerstars is having a Christmas Promotion with increase price pool for Sunday Storm so I will be definately playing in that.

I wonder how long I will last in that.. Lol

Always try to value bet your good hands , and never let people have free cards just to try to trap them . Always bet when you have a good hand is a MUST on lower limits . Good luck with your goals !

How many buy-ins are you playing with for 10NL? Do you multi-table? If so, how many tables?

I play MSS (40BI) Full ring 6 tables. I tried 9 tables but I am missing spot where I can be creative.

I play on loose tables with lot of action so everytime I get AA, KK, QQ am suppose to double up.

With such a loose table sometimes you have to make button 3Bet raises with non-premium hands and call with JTs.

Hey Laz
Welcome to my Blog!

NL2 and NL5 didnt make much sense to me when I was starting out because you could sit at a cash game table for hours and not sure your going to make any money. Plus I was making more money grinding Tornies and SNG.

Session With my Poker Coach
Am awaiting my 3rd session with my cash game coach.

I have to stay up until midnight where I am (Jamaica) because hes in a very far far Time Zone which is 12hrs ahead.

In our next session he will be giving me his feedback on the 1st set of hands that I sent him.

I will let you know how it goes

Who are you getting coaching from? Tried to search the thread but couldn't find it ?(

One thing I noticed from the hands you posted is that it looks like you're playing MSS, but then in some hands you have under 50bb or even under 40bb. If you're playing MSS, iirc you should always auto top up to 50bb, because you shouldn't have less than that. Always auto top up if you have the option, because otherwise your strategy won't fully work if you're shorter.

Plus if you have only 40bb you can win only 40bb from someone. If you have 50bb you can actually win 50bb from someone, which is always nice :f_biggrin:

Moving up
I wanted to move up to NL25 after the Micro Million Event or in December but I have some bad cash games habits to break which was highlighted by my poker coach.

Also think I am playing to loose and being involve in a lot of action postflop because I am over-rolled or can afford it.

My stats

image upload

Trying to get my:
VPIP to average 18%
PFR OK at 10%
Steal PCT too much at 28%
BUT & CUT 3bet needs to be at 10%
Flop CBet OOP decent at 60-70%
BB/100 winrate 30%

If I miss flop OOP am trying to Cbet less when I dont hit and 2nd barrel bluffing with no hand less

This is my Blue print thus far

Who scare away the Fishes?
Today I didnt encounter any fishes that would pay me max value with weak hands so I didnt have a very profitable session. Also I wasnt able to mark any fishes with sea blue so that I can stalk them the next time I am table selecting.

Maybe the fishes where having a party under the sea and awaiting the weekend to swim to the surface :tongue:

The fishes going to be plenty over the weekend but eating too much fish is not good they will start getting poisonous.

Pokerstars owe me $70 Bonus X(

Its sad that I wont be able to clear this first deposit bonus in time although I got a very longtime. I was playing CG trying to clear it but couldnt get enough VPP in time. Getting the bonus was quite nice when am going through a downswing.

Wanted to be a Rake Back Whore!
Guess I can be a Rakeback Whore on Fulltilt now :]

Am learning 6max now. I heard its more popular and you get more action
Hope the first time playin it will go well

Fr getting boring with everyone playing tight although I try to table select loose tables. Plus pokerstars love their fishes somehow.

I started playing cash games at the start of last month but I was breaking even so I had to pause to build bank my bankroll to where I wanted it to be at the end of the last month
