My range went back to 16/10 at 9 tables...
Its actualy quiet easy when I'm not stoned !! LOL
After smoking a big one I have a tendency to fixate on 1 pot and forget the other tables that time out .... OMG
But its ok rest of the time I'm way ahead ...
Playing only NL5 now and ... NL10 is really not that far away
Stoped playing on poker888 completly... not enough tables past NL2
So I will cash it out and redeposit it somewhere whit rakeback or good promo either Pstars or Partypok

Quick Update
40K hands
** 1st month is over! project recap and graphs

POKER :
I've cashed out 90$ of the 116$ I had on poker888 waiting for the check by mail as they wouldnt allow me to cashout using moneybookers.com since I didnt deposit using that method or something like that...
I just kept 26$ in case of a nice tourney I want to attend too....

**** From now on I will post eclusivly about FULLTILT sessions so On next post I will take out Poker888 roll and Hand history of the equation

*Final Bankroll graph for Poker888 at bottom*

I've kept playing 9 tables mostly
Only NL5 since I've hit 100$
Will hit NL10 tomorrow since I told myself I would give it a shot at 25 BI
But will go back down to NL5 if I hit 150$
my VPIP droped 1% and my PFR went up 1% to 15/11
my 3 Bet% went up 2,7%... from 4,4 to 7.1% witch I find is a lot ....
(more then 1/2 increase)
anyways it explains a lot about my Non showdown winnings (restealing)
(see graph at bottom)

----------------------------------------------------------
I need to go re-read the article on scared money .... last time I went to NL10 was on poker888 whit 20BI...
It was a disaster... I was folding evrything...
No Cbet .... and a VPip/PFR of 26/16 on FR tables
Figured it might be that.... 10$ is not much but since i've been playing NL2 for so long it does seem huge when I get raised for 5$ witch is half my $$/h at work anyways .... just another thing to fix

---------------------------------------------------------
I Play even more aggressiv...
I pound them whit raises till they're nose bleeds...

I often loose Value on nice hands !
It's True I'm scarry you dont wanna be calling 1 Bet cuz you know a 2nd one will follow more than 50% the time
+++I Almost never get cracked

I've set my C-bet To an almost standard 3/4 pot cuz of those 40%VPIP vilain that never raises but call EVRY RAISE and fold they're junk on the flop or .... make bad calls whit mid pairs/mini pockets ect... on the flop but fold to a turn C-Bet

* at 1/2 pot size bet i never got NO ONE ,except TAG REGS, to fold they're hands on the flop but I know this might be micro relevant so I'll try to remember about IT!

(Flop C-Bet is 78% and turn C-bet is at 62%)

So that explain my non showdown winnings... most 'worst' hands dont get to showdown as a 3rd 3/4 Bet on the river is..... mostly all-in in a 3bet pot
or maybe 1/2 3/4 stack on raise/call preflop actions

Almost evry showdown winnings I've got now are all-in before showdown or I gave up on the river and vilain checked a missed OESD or FLUSH DRAW
or even worst raised it as a bluff after check calling 2 streets ...

You know what I've learnt from all that? ... those ppl calling places rigged and stuff like that ...

YOU ARE LETING VILAIN GET DRAWS TO CHEAP
dont bet flop check/turn on a draw heavy board OOP whit two pair or a set ....
BET then bet/fold... please dont check a made hand ... and then say... I had a straight but he made a better one or.... the flush always come out ...
NO it doesnt not if you dont let them see it
Those place arent rigged ... but your "slowplay" really sucks and you have no idea when to or not to do it

Added ACTIVE resteal to my arsenal.... omg ... this is free money when done right.... just observe ppl... usually some one in late position (MP3+) who folds a 4 BB raise to a 10 BB reraise will do it .... very often especialy if they're PFR is over 20
SO you get back at them whit semi bad hands from the blinds ATo+ A8s+ sometimes suited connectors I even go 22+ as if you get called and hit your set ... you have pretty good implied odds admiting that vilain calls you whit over cards and hit nicely

ex:
1- You are SB whit 44 BU raise 3BB you reraise 8 BB he calls flop comes KJ4 rainbow... Vilain holds KQo or KJ or KT or AK AJ.... you are already in a pot of 17BBs if you check and vilain bets 3/4 pot 17+12+(your 12 if you flat call) or your re-raise... quick money
or flop comes A58 and you donk C-Bet vilain will fold most broadways smalish pairs ect....

2- How not to fail : IF you are SB whit 44 or ATs... and raise 8BB then the big blind or original raiser comes over the top even a min raise ... you should fold ... this hand was not meant for action and you would be playing OOP it as no real value
getting a T for top pair whit AT would put you in really bad shape aggainst any TT+ hands...
running after OESD or FLUSHDRAWs is to costly to be profitable both together ok... but would you call a 4 bet whit 87s???
anyways... 8 BB is a joke ... better loose 8 then chasing a flush that cost you 30-50BB by the river to .. not hit

Always remember that from the start ... you 3 betting those hands... was to make vilain fold preflop or ,if he's that bad, whit an easy donk C-bet on the flop from the blinds... for even more free money

*** DONT FOLD POCKETS ON THE FLOP
1 vs 1 when you just flat called villain raise
If flop shows only 1 card over TEN just call his C-bet then Bet out 1/2 pot on the turn if its still not a card over TEN... now It might need some practice but it will work more then 1/2 the time ... either vilain will fold ... or call whit AK high ... not hit the river and check it down where you will pick a nice pot whit a pair of sixes
If you know your vilains you know they will raise mostly broadways... but they really wont hit that single one that shows on the flop that often...

lets say board comes Q92 you check your sixes to the original raiser and he c-bets you call because : AK,AJ,KJ would easily C-Bet ... actually at micros ... ppl find some strange reasons to Cbet now if you call and they dont hit the turn and you bet out .... you look like you've been slowplaying something or.... could be all kinds of things. .. but your bet will be big enough for him not to be able to call whit AK high or a gutshot maybe even a flushdraw ect...and worts if he does have the Q whit AQ... he most likly will not re-raise since TPTK doesnt feel that strong in that kind of scenario and you might still get a free showdown (good way of playing some TP whit bad kickers)

I had a strange streak of badluck at one point lol well i think its badluck
1- I had 5 QQ at the same time on different tables and lost all of them
2- I had 7 AA in a 4 hours session and had them cracked 7 times in a row
4 of them were all in prelop ... 3 were vs JJ
well important thing is I kept playing them how I was before all that, since I was winning
but I did notice that my sister and her boyfiend often let this affect the way they will play it next time even tho they know it was profitable the way they were playing it before...

Personal:

Bought my self a sick laptop...
I mean sick for 500$ brand new lol
It does what i need to do whit it .... can even easily play 9 tables on the 15" screen and since I dont own cable or antena ... it's my personal Video that I plug on TVs arround my place

The new job is meh.... Borrrringgg
I'm kind of a CNC operator/machinist
I dont really have time to play poker ... even on longer cycles ...
I'm paid by cycles and not being ready to load at the moment the machine as done its cycle makes you loose $$/H by taking extra time by cycles then what you are paid for...

ex: machine cycle 5 min + reload 1 min x 100 cycles =I'm paid for 10hrs
((5+1)x100 = 600 min/60 = 10hrs)
now if I take 1,5 min to reload each time ... I'm still paid for 1m reload times... loosing $$/h

Might have found a second job too we got in contact but I had to verify my schedule whit the job I have now ...

Got a second 22" screen coming ... cant play more then 9 tables comfortably on 1 screen and using my laptop whit my current screen gives me head aches because they are obviously not at the same distance/Resolution and ... trying to refocus my eyes to fast all the time really fucks me up ♦

Went to play some live poker at my sisters place... Seems I cant find a way to deal whit Maniac calling stations... you know the type that calls 10 BB raise preflop whit 92o... but would Play KK the same way... cant wait to get in gold section for some new articles !!!!

Won a 90players 3,30$ turbo Knockout MT SNG for 78,50$ after the live session at my sisters they had 2 comps and my laptop and they wanted to play a tourney ... ty for the idea ♦

Resume :
-Its been a month now that I started this experiment ... got 40k hands out of it but wasnt playing 9 tables for the whole month and it was a rather buzy and unusual one

-Will not talk about Poker 888 for now as I wont be playing cash game over there

-Will now keep track of my rake amount and SNG wins and I will add them to combined roll

-Moving up to NL10 tomorrow wish me luck.... meh nvm that I'll try it out whit skills

this is the final poker888 graph starting from the 17th of last month to my withdrawl
*take a look at those non-showdown winnings... thats what scare play gets you... be agressive but know when ur beat too

Now here is FTP 30k hand graph including NL2 and 5
Look how my non-showdown winnings are going up getting my green net profit bar over my showdown winnings... this is because of aggression... yes most of those hands would be positiv showdown winnings as I do have strong holdings along whit the 2 over cards Cbet... but I figured that if I wanted to get paid big on my big hands and get most fold out of my ... semi-bad ones ... I should play both as agressive as possible and its true ... the guy that folded to your last 3 3bet "semi-bluff" Will shove stupid suff because ur just tilting them always reraising and they will often do it at the wrong time (you having a very good made hand)

IF any one gets that far and as some advice to give about loosing value whit such an agressive play pls lets me know for now I'll keep it that way cuz I really like it better to win small/mid pots to getting sucked out on in mid/big pots!!
ex : flopping a set of 4 on a 2 suited card board or a 3 card straight board
would you bet big flop and turn would you pet smal flop then hard turn since you got called ? ty

Nice blog and life story ♦!! Keep grinding n gud luk.

Going to the set of 4's or 2's question- U can bet the flop as normal(2/3 pot or just a bit more). If the board brings another suited card or a str8 card, u shld check, Otherwise the same 2/3rd bet on the turn too.And on the river u shld always check, as villian could of been slow playin his made hand or u can induce a bet from weaker hands or missed draws,which u just call.

(Suppose the villian bets on the turn and the river, u shld be able to get away from the hand,coz often they hv the flush or str8). Keep grindin :P!!!
