Cant beat 1.75 second week, dont know whats wrong, i just dont adjust to this fishes, my tactic should be tighter pushing since they call me lots of time with many more cards than usual players.
Anyway i have earn another 55,05+195,6=250,65-20 000$=19749,35 to go.
Again i sucked badly and my leaderboard points are bad, i wont even talk about them .
I need to find:
I have curse my self with that luck picture. Its middle of the week and i m down, ohhh boy i m hit, i m bitch slapped by pokerstars gods. I cant win anything, its like they are playing with me and my brain...But they dont know that i will never quit!!!!
Or tilt and give away all money without fight...
Guys i m down 150$, book where i put my earnings is empty, 15 finished in money and played maybe more than 100 SNGs... this is crazy.
If i finish in positive this week i be more than happy, positive zero is my goal.
I need Poker Face
As i say in midweek update i m getting bad beaten to the death, i managed to hold my loosing streak and my total lose this week is 131.15$, its obvious i didnt make into leaderboards...
Since i recently updated to PT version which now traces SNG earnings i will be able to show you some graphs...
I have switch my strategy to this:
I m playing single tables at first, then i see how i do and play more table SNGs according to how much points i need to make to hit the leaderboard.
As well i m first playing 3,4 and then 1$... But soon i switch to 6,5 and 3,4.... Need to make like 200$ to get my bankroll ready for this...
Until then let not talk about this lose... Let forget it and move on...
Good Luck my buddys,
Guys i m updating.
new things are going on in my Poker caree, i switch more to MTT tournaments and Cash Games. I play 10NL and some MTT every day, as well head up sngs.
Reason why i switch and left 1 table SNG is that there are no idiots anymore, everyone know basic rules, everyone read books and now everyones solid more or less... thats why shit like 20 lost SNGS in row can happen, so i search for more realistic chalenhe than coin fliping with solid players.
I started to ♠_o: wim in fishy watters, i hope i catch some fishes there, so far it goes bad, i think i lost 5 buy ins.
Anyway i m learning hard and trying out moves... thats why soemtimes i missread and missplay... but you learn on your own mistakes best.
You should only focus on 1 type of poker. Either sngs, MTTs or cashgames or only HUsngs, dont try to paly and learn all at once.
And beleive me.. not all the nits in sngs are good players. They dont have basic idea when to push/fol right. If someoen plays tight in early levels its far from being good player, and anyone good at micros soon moves to $16 buyins.
If you want you can add me and we can look sometimes at some shove/fold hands at 9mans although i now mainly play 180's and MTTs (well we can go through some hands of those too if those are what u want to play). One can make a nice living from grinding even $2 180s believe it or not. Good players at $2 have 60% ROI but u can expect like 100 downswings every 3 days of playing lol, but still so many bad palyers its super easy to make money in those (if u have 300 buyins in your BR to play them, otherwise i dont advise playing them)
Hi, i have added you to my buddy list. The main reason why i switch to cash game is because i think that i win too less coin flips or near coin flip situations. And as in push show mode you can expect many times this situations and if i dont win coinf flip in my life 50/50 i think i cant make maximum cash from it.
thats why i switch to cash game since there you can have more situations that are not just push/fold and pray, there you need to outplay your opponent and rarely you will be coinf flipping...
MTTs are good since i was playing them all my life. I usually plays some huge tournaments, PS and on BWIN.
In MTT my strategy is tight/weak in early stage, dont like to get aggressive even with good pocket hands because i play 2.20$ or 5.5$ and there are tons of maniacs. So my tactic is to use the maniac to double up. If i m way over 10bb i play aggressive in late position and punish the limper's. But most of the time i play shortstack strategy almost whole tournament...
I have SNG wizard and i have check my push fold strategy and like a few months i was playing perfect push fold strategy but didnt make any significant cash as i would most probably win if i put the time and effort into learning and mastering cash game.
Heads up i play only winner take all in PS. thats like training for me for MTT and SNGs were i will face h2h with my enemy.
This week i play MTT and cash games at lowest possible level, i m going to learn cash games from a lowest limit possible.
On MTT i did great, i didnt get bad beats and thats why i made money.
And on cash games i m killing the limit so far, check my graph and comment it:
I will not spend time on anything else in this post but my win at BWIN. I won tournaments and earn like 188 bucks.
I did some NSGs this week, some SSS and some Omaha Hi/LO, did pretty good on Omaha. Made few dollars here and there but biggest win is from BWIN.
How is my Journal going to buy a place for my girl. Not good i must report here.
I started again with SSS, i m doing it decent. Started on lowest possible level and i m looking to move up, hope it wont take long.
My SNG as well i demoted my self to lowest level and set my goals, i was the player that was too much into SNG Wizard and ev calculations and didnt play against people and people on those levels are weak. So i changed my robotic style of play and i m playing the poker against people. Will let you know how i did, at the moment i m on a goal to beat every level and move up at 20 ROI.
Hello, didnt report here for 13 days.
So whats new, nothing much, finally i added new tool to my repertoaur and i hope i use it well. As well my poker play is going bad.
Some scenarious:
Last table on tournament and 9 players left, short stack limps and i punish him by investing half hes stake, same size stack as me player limps. I m holding AK. Flop is one color and K is down, Shoprtstack push all in, i push overhim and lamer same size stack calls and show q5 suited, you dont get involved with this kind of lame hand and hunt flush with totally no hand to play in this situation.
Another bad scenario for me: Blinds are huge and its time to act. only 150 players left from 3000, me with KK and mediocre stack size decided to play 3x bet my KK instead of pushing. BIG MISTAKE(i didnt push because i was playing pretty tight and push will scare everyone away, but newcomer UTG+1 cold calls with A2), flops comes with ace on flop. My CBET 2/3 of pot is more than half my stack(too many ante money in it) and it was way ahead way back situation and i decided to play strong and push, he cold calls me A2 and kick me out.
Biggest problem is that i didnt learn any lesson from it, it was just specific situation that went wrong for me.
And just to add that today i wake up and started playing at 8.00, in 20 minutes i lost 2 times with aces... Thats why i hate Monday, its working day and my work started bad.
just come to say that i m hunting ghosts at the moment. Cant breake lowest limits at pokerstars.
Stoped with MTT tournaments because they last so long and i think i could make more profit with SSS.
We will see, time will show.
At the moment i m hunting %0 Billion tournaments on pokerstars but there are crazy players and its hard, they gamble with anything.
My report after few weeks
Didnt report because there was not much to say, i was floating the game...
BUT now i have big important news to tell.
I M KICKING 0.01/0.02 SSS
I just mastered it and i m moving up, after 30 days, somewhere at the begining of this week i found best game for those bad players and man they are so so so bad, even blind cow with small brain can beat this limit. This players dont even think about you or cards on desk all they look is they own cards and all you need to do is hold good hand and make them pay you, this is only thing you need to do...
Will report how i did on next level, but IMO i should pass it in 1-2 weeks.
I won 5.5$ tournament at BWIN again, man i was so hard on my self during the tournament, if i would lose it i would be very sad, so bad players in last 20 and i was without chips, then i kick some fish and double up and then same style fish double me up, once i become chip leader, like 7 players left i started to slap this guys up, i was like teacher and they were bad boys and every mistake they made i slap them:
1. i had 2.7 times more chips than loose second at table and he raise while there is short stack with 5 BB, what i do, i slap him, i didnt even look at my cards, he folds.
2. Loose guy tryed a steal on me, i know hes stealing with any ace, he was like 10-15BB and i was fat cow, call with 66 he show me A2, guess what fish didnt catch ace and hes out.
3. check what i did to this poor guy in heads up, we were deep and he is the loose guy from first scenario, i opened up my self and slap him several times, was kind of maniac in 5 cards in row, then he plays back at me.
I have a video of last hand on my blog: My Poker Blog
Guess what hand he had and on what ahnd i put him.
Here are some picks of me winning:
P.s. never give up
Why always we get bad beat at the end?
this week i was killing the SSS and in one day i got 2 beats in a row, then did few bad plays and voila i m on zero...
What happend to my SNG game? I was killing this game on BWIN 5,5$, now i cant even beat pokerstars 1.75.
Do i need to change strategy, dioes everyone read damn book od that guy that write to play tight in early and loose at end of tournament?
Do i need to take only few rules from this book? Are some rules not good...
I think everyone read it and now everyone follw it more or less...
P.S. i started to play big stack and got bitch slaped, doh i made good money because i really played in the zone all the time and i m sure i will not eb able to be in the zone all the time. But in the zone play i got bitch slaped by 2 guys, How can you call flush draw on a flop when i dont bet small, i overkill the pot, i put in the pot 12x more than it was in it, pot is 1$ and i overbet with 12. He calls with air and hits flush... implied odds? Man that guy missunderstand everything and by hes stupid play he run with my money, now when i will find another idiot to do same thing and dont hit a flush draw?
Small update.
I have turn the level on SSS and i m now playing 0.25 and i must say that there are more fishes than on 0.10 and way more maniacs thats why i didnt manage to win profit this week. Anyway, my SNG self punishment by playing lowest possible stakes is soon going to end because soon i will show proper roi to move on next level.
Hi, long time i didnt post, but now i m playing 50NL and i must say that i m probably going to stay here for long or even move down soon since i have huge trouble to beat it, i found a way but it need to be polished and at the moment i m in huge downswing and i dont know if its just regular downsing or they are outplaying me somehow... but my ev line is above my money making line...
Really LONG TIME NO SEE UPDATE.
What happen?
Well pokerstar decided to install 20 CAP games and on this games only weirdos that play decently play. There are no fishes and you can make money but Variance is HUGE and i m not sure if you can make big ROI like you could do it before on regular games.
So after i lost many money and realize things have change i changed my poker and i started to try 6 max. 2NL. On this tables i was tilting like crazy.
This guys dont really care, they limp, limp, call, limp rise with whatever. But that was not making me tilt, when i made mistake and very bad fish stack me i was tilting like a flipper. After i lost many buy ins i switch to SNG 9 Man.
On 9 Man i was playing like crazy. 200 tournaments per day. I did mediocre, but then 3 days in row i was not making nor loosing cash. After that i had huge downsing and many bad beats and i stop. ROI was not good and with variance i m not even sure if i could make any serious money.
Then i decided to play 27 Man regular speed and i m sure this are beatable even by bad players that understand some things (like me). And i was doing good. Up to today. I just tilted. I decided to stop playing them when i had 12 tables open. Something in me sayd this is waste of time and what if variance happen.... Who can play 2h tournaments and stay calm after loosing tons of them... I know someone can, but i cant.
So now i have 50 BI. on 10NL 6 Max. I really will not learn or read any new things because i have read and watch tons of videos and text on forums, websites, pdfs etc etc in all kind of various games. SNG, MTT, CASH... i know that fishes i will check at tables have not read so much like i did. And if i cant beat them i should go busto and forget POKER. But i know i will not forget it, because i play poker all my life, i started like kid on video machine poker.
Why m i posting this?
Well i really need some support and maybe some good luck from someone. I know i m ready to make serious poker but something dont let me make that final step.
