I'm so tilted after this evenings session that I'm actually enjoying it. I forgot what it felt like to loose 1 and a half buy-ins to idiots. :facepalm:
It's been more than 6 years since I last played the game that I love to play. In all that time I never once stopped thinking about it. :truestory:
How stoopid is that? I would check the news on PokerStrategy.com almost everyday, or watch a random twitch streamer making a deep run in the Sunday Million, and it would make me sad. How close was I to being the kind of poker player that I always thought I could be?
I don't know what it is about poker that makes me keep coming back like a STI from a night out you would rather forget. It can't be the graphics cause its shit. So it must be the game play.

I don't know how long my stay will be this time. I don't have any poker goals other than to play. I don't use a hud anymore. But I am using some of the free tools that Pokerstratgy.com gives away. Since I'm back (just over a month and a half), I've won a freeroll, I've placed 3rd in a MTT and had 2 more final tables. I've won and lost at more 100 SNG. I've also made some stupid fucking mistakes. I've gone to war with Regs. I've donked off buyins. I've tilted ballz. AND I FUCKING LOVE IT :pokerface:

Where do I start? Last time on Life After The Farm - I was feeling a bit moist after loosing to idiots.

Friday
I had to get up super early to do that thing called "work". I don't mind work, but I do mind
when work wants to come home with me and stay the night. Shit, its Friday night, and the end
of the month. Donks love this time of the month, they get to reload their bankrollz and then loose it to me. I choose to get work outa the way, I still needed to do a hand review from Thursdays session and didn't want to play until I looked at me being awesome in some hands and a complete idiot in others. So work then play.

Saturday
Work had such a fun hanging out with me on Friday night that it decided to stay over another night. Yay...

Sunday
With work finally outa my way until Monday, I decide I will play an afternoon session.
Since I don't use a hud anymore I've started recording all my games using OBS studio. I like
it, I get to watch ME smashing donks in real time. I do all my reviews this way, it takes longer, but I don't mind. But knowing that it takes longer is what makes me sometimes skip a day I set aside for study. I had originally decided to do my review on Friday, but since Friday got messed up I moved it to Saturday and since Saturday was out I decided fuck the review. I'm better than everyone anyways.

Sunday afternoon at the tables:
Not using a hud stops me from mass multi tabling. This is a good thing since I was a big
spew tard (is spew tard still cool to say in poker?) back in the day.
So 4 tabling is just right. I know table selection is super important, but if you me its not so important. I load up the NL20 tables, and we off.
About 15 minutes in I realise I'm in deep shit, not with poker, but with my fucking internet connection. I'm using this shitty 3g shit (the rest of the world has 5g), and I am shit far from the fucking tower and that shit keeps disconnecting me. I'm sure everyone at my tables think I am tank doing anything or slow rolling the fuck outa them. Now I didn't wanna tilt cause of Thursday, but ma BALLZ started aching. So I am playing and fucking around with my phone and I am sure I am missing important shit going on at my tables.
This goes on for awhile until it finally fixes its self or the wind blew the 3gs in my
direction.
After some amazing plays by me or dumb luck I'm up a buyin. And almost as quickly
as I won the fucking thing I loose it. I'll post the hands in the forum once I type the whole thing out (fuck I miss the ease of using a hud).
And then I loose some more... Now my ballz are aching again.

I've read the first few chapters of The Poker Mind Set back in the day, so I am an expert when it comes to tilt management. I have this post it note on one of my screens that I use to keep track of what game I am playing A,B,C, Fuck I should stop or my tilt level which goes from Zen to Fuck this guy.

I am now at FUCK THIS GUY. I start going crazy at one of my tables trying to get my money back from this idiot. If you wanna know what that's like, it's like when Gus Hansen was still Gus Hansen and not current Gus Hansen.
I eventually get it back to half a buy in down. But this idiot rightfully realises that if he stays I will get all my money and his, so the cunt leaves the table. Fuck this guy.

So, I'm playing now for about 3 hours or so, its late afternoon and I am half a buy in down.
I decide that I wanna take a break but before I do, I WILL end my session EVEN. So I close the cash tables and open up a double up SNG, cause that is the quickest way to get half a buyin back right???

The SNG
4 handed double up SNG, only got to kick to noobs hard in the ballz to get back to even we can do this!
FML, my internet starts fucking out almost immediately. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck.
I'm having to close the client down and reset my phone and do all kinds of shit.
This ended up not being such a bad thing cause after logging in and out twice, that's two times, we are now 3 handed. Fuck I'm a genius!
There is now one big big stack, and 2 short stacks at the table. I am NOT the big big stack.
And the big stack does exactly what I would do if I was the big big stack and that's lean on the short stacks, this dude must be a genius like me.
Now I've learnt that thought my poker playing "career" you need to pay attention. I notice
that the other short start is snap folding whenever the big big stack raises. Using my genius poker reading skillz, I come to the conclusion that the other short stack must have as shitty a internet connection as me, he is not at the table :)
So I go, GUS FUCKING HANSEN. I'm ALL FUCKING in every god damn hand. There is only 1 short stack at the table now and its not me. I also realise that the big big stack is no genius as he hasn't realised that the short stack is AFK, this cunt is still trying to limp and play poker. FUCK this guy, I'm all in. This goes on for a few more and hands. The short stack now has 450 in his stack and the blinds are at 100/200, for some reason I hesitate with my next push, I'm staring at my screen and cards J8o and I decide to fold. And I made the right fold cause the short stack is back and the cunt is all in, the big big stack folds. And now its the short stacks turn to start going Gus Hansen. This bitch keeps using MY tactics to win the blinds. And now he isn't so short no more and the big big stack is just a big stack.
FML I wanted a break and to be even, its not much to ask for. I raise you cunts fold, why can't everyone just stick to my plan.
Anyways, the blinds are 200/400 the big stack on the BTN folds, and I am in the SB with K8o and a shit load of paranoia. I've got the short BB covered by just a bit. Gus Hansen whispers in my ear "You good". I click the Gus Hansen button and hope for the best. Nothing happens. I click again and then again. My internet fucked out again. But I don't give up I keep clicking and keep clicking and eventually I am all in. My opponent starts tanking or his or my internet is fucking this up, but after an eternity he snap calls with 92o.
Now I'm chanting "Hold you kont, hold you kont!".
I wouldn't be the genius that I am if I don't give credit where credit is due, it's called "being humble". Gus Hansen was right.

Sunday evening at the tables - I still gota watch this back

SPOILER - I finished 3rd in a tournament. FFS.

I really wanted to update this sooner, but I've been super tired, well tired isn't the right word, exhausted is more like it.
My home life is complicated, I shouldn't really be playing any poker, not with my mindset, but it really is the only escape besides work that I have.
My work shares a lot of similarities with poker. I have to study, I have to practice and then I have to work. If I am tired it affects all 3. And simply saying I should just get more sleep, does not apply in my case. Sleep is a luxury that I haven't had in years. Bitching about something that I have very little control over doesn't help, besides I'm not a bitch.
I managed about 45min of work today. It was all over the place, think of it as me throwing things against a wall and hoping that something sticks. I'm now at the study and then practice part, but for the last hour I have been browsing the net and doing everything possible to avoid doing anything productive.
I did play some poker today, for an hour, but I opted to sit out after an hour (I did the same thing yesterday) as my mind was drifting.
I did a poker review session yesterday. I also looked at how many sessions I played in Feb and March, a little over a 100 each. But I noticed that in my "Games reviewed" folder only has about 20 or less of my games in each month. So I am way way behind with game reviews.
I think I am gonna tap out tonight with "work study" I won't learn anything by pushing through, work practice I can still do so I will push through with that.
I'll give poker a break till Wednesday or maybe Thursday, that will give me sometime to post the hands I have and some more time to do a few more reviews.

good luck at the tables

Sup noobz. I took sometime off to try and get some rest and to catch up on some reviews. I am still way behind with my game reviews. I watched some back today and was like WTF. I am mixing in tournaments and SNG and cash in some of my vids. There is no game flow. Just me bouncing around the tables like a fucking pinball.
I guess its from being away from the game so long that I wanna just play everything. If I was down I would be kicking myself in the ballz about now, but thank the poker gods for making me a luckbox during my session. I've also been reading some of the other blogs here on ps. This one made me think of the time I donked off $50 at 2nl during a very tilty 7 hour session. I remember looking at my graph afterwards and being so disappointed in how undisciplined I was.

https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=517188

It made me think about how important it is to take a break. My last 3 sessions I played come in at a combine 3 hours. After an hour I am now either taking a break or stopping for the day. Up is up right? I also avoided one of my favourite things, REG WARS. I don't avoid regs, but I told myself no more heads up for now.
I'm going to see if I can keep this up for the rest of April and see if its makes any difference.

Later noobz

I really should take my own friggin advice. Had a spewy session yesterday. Lost a buy in and a half to short stackers. I know I shouldn't play with them but they still had my money from the last time :why: the really stupid thing is I got back up, 2 bucks up exactly :profit:
But then I couldn't sleep. So 1am this morning I fire up the tables and see one of those stinking shortys sitting at a table all alone with my money :thinking:
I know what you thinking, kick this short cunt in the ballz, teach him to sit down with a full god damn stack. So :challenge:
I kick the shit outa this bum for 30 min or so, and I finally stack him and get my money back, but now I'm still down 5 bucks cause the rake is a motha fucker :pcuser: I decide, sleep is better.
So this morning I get up and decide I'm not doing what I did yesterday or a few hours earlier, its fucking Wednesday for gods sake. So after breakfast I load up the tables.
The very first table I look at has 3 shortys that have all taken $$ from me. I make a decision. Since they all play identical and they each have enough in their stacks to almost make up a full buy in I decide I want my money back. So I sit down. I then proceed to loose a buck to each of these cunts and before they all fuck off.
Now I'm sitting alone and feeling not super cool. So I come up with a better plan. Fuck grinding cash. We gonna win a tournament. I register for a 1k rebuy that was just starting. I play 2 hands and almost double my stack :happy: before my internet fucks out. :why:
While I'm trying to get my internet back up, my ass tells me it wants to take shit. FUCK. I tell myself its okay, we timed out anyways. I quickly shit, then walk very quickly back to my pc, my internet is back on and I just timed out AT. FUCK. That could have doubled me up. Things go fine for awhile, until I raise I think it was KJo or something (need to watch it back) and my phone rings. Now my internet fucks out again. FUCK. In my head I am cursing at the person on the other end.
After about 5min on the phone I get back to my table. I see I have only lost 2bbs (only level 2). Not a problem. I AM me. I claw and donk my way to the final table where I run K4 off into the biggest chip leader I've ever seen at a final tables A4. I finish 4th. 100 bones baby. :pokerface:
So I decide I'm done for the day. But then after supper, I get bored. I fire up the tables and I go looking :pcuser: and finally I see one. Stinking shorty sitting at a table all alone with MY DAMN MONEY. :challenge:
I kick the shit out him, in 6 hands and get my 5 bucks back. He must have called his cousin or something cause after he leaves another stinking shorty sits down with MY MONEY :challenge: He bluff shoves a flop and I show him ma ballz. I get my other 5 bucks back. :pokerface:
Tomorrow is Thursday. I'm not doing this shit tomorrow.

Later noobz

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider a "short-stack player"

from https://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/sss/
Short stack poker usually refers to 30 big blinds or less. Midstack poker is usually 30-75 big blinds.

No rooms that I know of allow buy-ins as low as 30BB, but some (like optibet) allow as low as 40.

One of the main ideas in the true short-stack strategy is that one should never try to play at a table with more than one other SSS player.
Also, true SSS was meant for full-ring.

Generally, if a short stack shoves on my, I'm getting out of there unless I have a premium hand because they don't have enough $$ to bother with -- which is the intent of the short stack strategy.

OTOH, it never costs much to stack off on a shorty, so they're fair game.

5 - 10. I don't think there is a minimum buy in amount at 20NL. The max is 20. At the 50NL tables on our site you will see dudes sitting with 10 bucks :pcuser: At 25NL on Carbon Poker, this is like way way back, they used to sit with 7 I think. It pissed me off then and it pisses me off now. If you gonna take money off me, then take my whole stack, not a small part. I wanna feel the full power of short rage tilt, not part of it.
I've got GGpoker installed but haven't played any yet, wanna get back into HUSNG.

OK
On GGPoker you can buy-in at NL 5 with only 1 buck -- so 20BB.
Just for nostalgia sake, I might have a day playing true SSS there.
I hope I won't piss you off :coolface:
OTOH all tables on GG are 6-max so I might need to adjust.

Fuck me in the ass. Today was one of those dayz. Where the fuck do I start?
I ended up working this morning on a day I had no work, go figure. Got work outa
the way and went straight to the tables. Since its Friday I decided to play the 1k rebuy again, was starting just as I registered. Big fucking mistake, I kept getting distracted and having to get up and do something else in the middle of the tournament. One of the things I
wanted to avoid is playing while I am distracted, but it really can't be helped.
Since I was up and down in the house, I only had my tournament table open so the damage was
only my 10 bucks buy in. I ended up running a stupid bluff against a station that read my soul and called my all in A high on a Q high flop. GG tournament. I'm not rebuying.
So a little while later I end up with some actual free time, so I go back to the tables and start grinding cash. I end up having one of those sessions where everything I raise misses the flop and when I do have a hand everyone folds. So I slowly over about a hour and a half loose another 10 bucks.
The fish I really wanna stack gets up and leaves, so I decide I'll call it for now and come back later this evening.

Just before I start my evening session, I go to switch on the porch light. It doesn't go on.
I don't have to even open the door to know that some cunt that does meth has stolen it. But I open the door anyways and the fucking light is gone. This is the 2nd fucking bulb that has been stolen in the last 3 months. This cunt doesn't even steal it at night he comes round during the day and I never see the cunt but I am always home. If I catch this cunt I am gonna Liam Neelson him.

Now I'm instantly at FUCK THIS GUY tilt. And I decide fuck those guys playing poker I am gonna win all their damn money (and some of mine back) and then go and buy me (and the cunt stealing them) another light bulb.

So, back to poker. My one of those session afternoon sessions continues into my evening session. I miss every flop. No one calls. Everyone calls. Everything bricks. Have to fold everything. Board runs out shit. etc etc etc FML I hate everyone. I'm now down a full buy at NL20. I'm not even topping my stack up anymore, cause I don't wanna loose the maximum to these cunts. So I close my other tables and I decide to concentrate on one table and only one BIG fish.

For 3 hours and 38 mins I played this fish. He doesn't fold anything (except when I have something). He bluffs his ballz off (whenever I have nothing). He plays for stacks with other players (don't give me shit). I raise and miss the flop and he bitch bets with his bottom pair. I even started floating flops to try and hit and nada. While I am trying to my best to stack this fish before someone else does, a AGGRO TARD sits down.
Now I am super worried, cause I've played this tard before. Super super aggro, but this isn't why I'm worried. Why I'm worried is this tard likes to hit and run. I don't want him to stack my fish and then leave. So I start opening wider and still nothing. And then what I'm afraid of happens, the tard stacks my fish. FML. I'm here for hours and he sits down for 5 mins and does what I can't. Now the tard sits out. But my fish reloads. But only ten bucks. FML. But then me and my fish get lucky, he stacks the idiot reg that won't fold top pair to him and my fish doubles up. Yeah. The tard sees this, cause now he sits back in.
The tard and my fish go back and forth, they even take some more off the idiot reg (he dunno how to play tards and fish poker). I'm super tired now and nothing is going my way, I'm still down a buyin at NL20 and 10 buck from the tournament. I'm about to throw in the towel and then finally something goes my way, its tiny, but it pulls me back into the game.
See the hands below. (Sorry its not typed right, its late and I'm fucked) I can't believe the last hand happened. I finished him off the very next one with 88 when he tilt shoved 84s. Me and my fish will have to tangle another day.

Laterz

This is the biggest hand I won against my fish in almost 4 hours. He bets half pot with a hand like TP and half pot as a bluff. He pots his really strong hands. He calls down with small pairs. I thought he might bet his busted draws here so I decided to check call and if he pots its a fold. I had to silence that bitch in me that was saying "he got you out kicked".

Villain had just lost part of his stack calling and all in with Ah vs TP against my fish.
I honestly had no idea what to do here, he is normally super aggro with anything, if he had bet the flop I would try and get it cause he stacks off very light. And when it checks to the river I just went fuckit, if he has nothing he will fold anyways, he doesn't have a K or J (he bombing those), I was hoping he had a Q or T or flush.

How much meth can you get for a light bulb?
That's the weirdest I ever heard.
I had my car stolen from my driveway a couple of years ago.
It was weird because that night I had to get up at 03:50 to catch a flight.
As we're getting into my wife's car she says, "Where did you park?"
Huh? Right where you're standing... Oh shit!

Couldn't do much else, so we drove to the airport, and on the way called the police.
They took all the details.
The flight had a 1-hour layover in Calgary, and while there I get a call: "We found your car"
Cool.

When I get home several days later I went to pick the car up, and found to my horror that those dirty rotten scoundrels had SMOKED IN MY CAR

buwuwhahahahaaaaaa:D This reminds me of when my friends car was stolen and when he got it back the seats were upgraded to racing ones.
I wish our cops where as quick as they are by you. I've been laughed at by our police when reporting my bin stolen, I have to report it or you don't get a new free one. :|

They use the light bulb to smoke the meth. But I don't think this is the case now as they use the round ones for smoking and the one that I had up wasn't one of those. It could also be that a new light bulb sets you back 30 bucks. And I have a old security light that no longer works (faulty light bulb but they cost 300 smackers each) but they walk right past that and take the working light bulb. And any metal or copper they steal so they can sell it to fund their habit. I wish these dudes played poker...

I have read your rant on your bad day, and really laughed at the style of writing (meant in the most possible positive way).

It feels like you were not at the right state of mind to play poker
I hope you'll run better next time!

Okay, its been way too long. So... some mother fucker stole my light bulb again. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. The door was open and when my dog started barking, I heard someone say something like "there's a dog" but instead of getting up I decided to stay in bed and listen to music, it was only later one when I went to switch it on for the night that I noticed it was stolen again. The stupid thing is I bought a cover for the fitting the day after the last one was stolen, but was too lazy to put it up. Ah fuckit. Let's get back to pokerz. But first we need to go way way back to the 25th of April.

Way back on the 25th of April I played a 2k. I was doing well until I ran my AK into to mouth of the chip leader and his QJ, obvs the flop comes QQJ. GG. I finish 6th for a hundy. Not bad, I think of it as 5 buy ins at 20nl.
The tournament ended about 11pm or something and I was super tired, so decided to goto bed and not watch movies or post a stupid rant here.
I wake up about 3am shivering all over. This is not good since it wasn't cold but I was sweating. This is not good. Not fucking good at all. I look after a sick parent, and I've been doing this for years now, alone. So if I do get sick it immediately stresses me out as I still have to do everything. So I get outa bed and take a few pain killers to break the damn fever. While the painkillers are trying their best to work, my stomach starts giving me shit. :pcuser:
So I quickly run to the toilet and start pissing outa my ass. While I am pissing outa my ass it feels like I am gonna vomit, but I tell that bitch in me not to fucking be that guy, don't you fucking dare do that. The feeling of wanting to vomit passes and the ass pissing stops. I super tired now, so I go back to bed.
5 fucking minutes after getting back in bed I need to piss outa my ass again. :pcuser: I piss, then go back to the medicine cabinet and get the pills that make the shit stop. I take 2 pills and then go back to bed. MOTHER FUCKER. I need to piss again. This shit goes on until the sun comes up. Then I have to make breakfast, not for me. I try to get some sleep but my ass is malfunctioning so I don't wanna risk shitting the bed. I have to make lunch, not for me. I take more pills, my ass still gives me shit. I make supper, not for me. And this is how its went. For almost 2 fucking weeks. As you can imagine, I didn't get any poker in. The first time I even try to play was on the 5th of fucking May and then I have to keep getting up cause my ass is still semi malfunctioning.

I've played about 6 sessions so far this month, tournaments and SNG and cash. Not cashing in tournaments and getting unlucky in SNG and having to make up the losses in cash. I feel like if I wasn't sick I would have been up more this month. Or maybe I would have been down. Shit I dunno. But this is winning poker.

At least I can fart and not run to the toilet after...:truestory:

Later noobz

Down 100 bucks. The last 80 was at NL50, to the most aggro fucking tard I play against. So fucking pissed at myself. And I was up today and then got hit and run by fish that are shoving for fun and then I decide to go and play NL50 cause why the fuck not. Ahhhhhhhhhhhggggggggg I am so fucking tilted right now I'm fucking laughing xD

You know what caused this? I didn't wanna be up 10 bucks at NL20. So instead of taking a break which I fucking needed I decided to open more tables. How fucking stooopid is that. I am always telling myself up is up but today I don't accept it. Clearly I have some issues that need to be worked out.
It's not all bad, I can take the hit, roll is at 650 bucks, that means I am up 20 bucks for the month now. :profit: bwuauhahahaaahaaaa
I can't wait to see what my rake back is tomorrow. :pcuser:

Meh, been awhile since I've updated this thing. Been playing lots of pokerz and also studying quite a bit. I've switched entirely to SNG and MTT. Well I was bored yesterday so I hopped in a NL20 game and stacked 2 fish multi way with my nut flush, yeah thems big ballz. My win rate has taken a small hit, the SNGs have been brutal and the MTTs are even more brutal, I final tabled 2 this week but ran into some coolers. I've also been rebuying every time I get a big hand cracked early on, I don't know if this is okay to do. I re bought once today and then my KK got cracked by I forget what shit he called with and decided to calls it quits.
I've kinda got over playing scared in a MTT, grinding SNG fixed that shit, but I still need to find a balance. The worst I played was last week sometime, I forget now cause I still haven't reviewed that game yet, it still hurts. I was massive chip leader after the break, I had a 30 bb lead over 2nd, 20 places get paid. And I decided to play super aggressive, 5 min after the break I busted in like 30th place. This stings me more than all the beats I took today. I didn't have to do that, I had the stack to wait and pick my spots while everyone else fights it out, but no, fancy play syndrome took over my brain. FOR FUCKS SAKE.
I'm going to spend some time watching some SNG vids this weekend, going to check out some of Colin Moshmans stuff that I found on youtube. I can't watch the training vids here anymore since I don't earn point through playing any more.
I need to post some of my hands still, been super lazy with that, although I have been doing reviews and kicking myself in the ballz when I watch it back, I always seem to be asking "the fuck are you doing mate". Anywayz its 1:30am here and I need to catch zome zzzzzzzzzzz

PS
I got some money sitting in my Skrill account and wanted to play on GGP, but they don't seem to have many SNG, this is important to building a bankroll from scratch. So I don't know what to do there.
