[Closed] An Unorthodox Blog By A Conservative Human (NL25SH & SCOOP)

10BI, that's some crazy bankroll management but you know best.
I wish you luck and I'll be following your blog.

Thanks for the support wuttehhell. I hope I dont dissapoint

I played my first short session today. I had plans so I only had 2 hours, 1 of which was spent watching hasenbratens new video.

Its nice to know that when I play a simple ABC A game I seem to dominate. Of course this high winrate is variance but I didn't seem to be running extremely good except for a big three bet that priced me in to go all in with AKs vs QQ.

Hey Verre! Good to see ya back around the traps dude!

Good luck with the donk around, and ship one of those SCOOP events to ensure this blog stays a solid read. LDO.

I won a $33 SCOOP ticket in a freeroll - ofc there aren't any $33 tourneys I'd feel comfortable playing so I'm considering donking it away in the 7 card Stud tourney on the 5th. I've worked uber hard on my Stud game and am (sortof) confident with my play all the way to 3rd street. After that I'm guessing tbh, but I'm assuming my uber FL skills will see me pwn.

Lol Waiboy nice of you to post.

I've actually followed only a few blogs during my time of not blogging myself and yours has been one of them.

Can you not split up your 33 ticket to play in a 22 and an 11? If that was the case I would play in the FL event since your FL skills will probubly give you a good chance to ship a nice payday there. Who knows, that might be the kind of thing that changes your luck and puts you on a mad heater.

A dissapointing loss in event #1 6max NLHM.

I made a bad read on a guy I had over 200 hands on. His AGGFreq was huge and i hit second pair and bet all three streets only to lose to his pair of Q when he held Q2o and called a 3 bet preflop OOP. I held JJ.

A few hands later I got my remaining 11k in with AKs against a stack of 140k who ended up having TT hold.

40 minutes until the 2 day event. I feel this next event is my best chance to make big money.

Event #1 Finish. 9068/27305 after 3 hours and 12 minutes

And event 2 is over for me after 2:12.

I was card dead for 2 hours and on the button I raised with 66 and got called by the BB. Flop came 345 rainbow and he raised and I repopped and he got me all in for basically my starting stack and he called my pfr with 34o and it held.

A frusterating day overall.

Wow.. I'm not sure whether to say thank you and feel quite humbled, or refer you to the sado-masochist hotline..

You'd think you could! But I tried registering for the FL event and it wouldn't let me use the ticket. Still I'm absolutely 100% sure Stud Hi MTTs are going to be my game. ♠_cool:

Well my playing comp is absolutely trashed. I made the mistake of letting my gf use it. Shes a great gf but useless with electronics. She somehow got me a super bug and it crashed my harddrive.

I've lost all my stats and records. I tried everything to save the data but in the end i had to reformat. I cashed most of my role out to go buy windows 7 so by bad cercumstances this blog is basically dead :(. I'm left with 80 dollar bankroll and 6 SCOOPS that are already bought into.

Whoot my comp is fixed. Unfortunately I have lost all my histories so I'm starting fresh. Its almost a nice feeling to have a clean slate.

There will be two parts to this post. First will be my first session back with no stats on any villains.

Here is my winnings graph:

As you can see it was a rather nice session. Previously I would have been inclined to quit early with how bad I ran but I kept my 3 hour session going and played great and it worked out.

Here is my EV graph. I dont post this one much but it shows how bad I ran:

I lost KK vs QQ, KK vs 99 (bad push by me on a 9 high board), and KK vs JJ in this session and still pulled a profit. I believe it shows how far I have come as a NLHM player in the tilt department.

As for SCOOP it has been going horrible. I have played each one up until now with no stats. In the first three tournaments I've found the donkeys only for the donkeys to have big hands. Looking back I overplayed hands against these guys because I knew they would call down with second pair. I haven't been playing my game. With 3 tournaments left for me I will be trying hard to place well.

Now for the second part of this post.

Once a month between 16-18 guys get together to play a $60 buyin tournament at a private room followed by NL50 cashgame. Most of the guys are NL200 regs and play in this game because they enjoy the deeper thought processes of thier opponenets at our home game than they can get playing NL200 at the casinos. Our NL50 game is well known as one of the harder games around our area.

I have not missed a month since the cardgame started 17 months ago. When I first started playing against these guys I was the fish in the room, and back then a few buyins was my limit. As I have got better and been able to beat NL200 live I was still having trouble with this NL50 game.

Last night was the monthly game and I skipped the tourament because I had my last class until 10pm. I got there as a 9 handed NL50 game was starting and lost a buyin quickly with TPTK against two callers who where both drawing, one with TP and a flush draw and the other with a straight draw.

I quickly rebought and kept playing my normal game. Incredibly I started calling hands at a huge rate and making massive and correct turn and river laydowns that would be unthinkable playing NL25 online. In 7 hours of play there was over $1500 dollars on the table and 5 guys left. At this point I have a massive $700 dollar stack, one guy has ~450, one guy has ~$300, and the other two are barely over starting stacks. Not one person that had left had cashed out and at this point it was 6am.

In the SB I am dealt pocket Aces and the BB who is notoriously tight/passive (one of the only non LAG players in this game) reraises my 5bb raise to 18bb. I decide he has a big hand, probubly Kings or Queens and if I flat I can get paid off big.

I flat and the board comes QJ8 two diamonds. I check and look at the opponenet and he looks very confident. I figure if he hit top set he is checking and if he has an overpair or TPTK he will protect. He does just that and raises $18(36bb). I think for a minute and decide that any card other than a K or a Q should make me good here no matter what. If either of them come I will have to give up and if anything else comes I will check/raise again.

Unfortunately one of the less nice cards comes. 10d. If he had the bottom of his range with AK he would hit the nuts. I had the Ad so i would have to call a raise with a gutshot and a flushdraw both to the nuts.

He looked very weak and after I checked he deliberated for about 5 minutes. The pot was ~$60 bucks and he had ~$300 behind.

To my surprise and my delight he decided that the best course of action was to overpush his 300 into the pot. I snap called and sure enough he had KK with the Kd. He was drawing to 9s9c9hAsAc. The river came a beautiful 8s and I raked in the biggest pot in the 17 months of this cashgame $701.50.

The game shut down soon after that hand and I cashed out $1050.50 with a profit of $950.00. Thats a solid 271.57bb/Hour and if you calculate that into bb/100 it would be huge. Anyways it was the best poker I've played in my life and wanted to brag. I wish there was more hands to brag about but I only went to showdown 6 times all night and twice where flips with shorties and I broke even between the two of them.

Wish me luck with SCOOP in an hour.

With all that said I think I'm going to quit tournament poker

I cannot get over how profitable tournament poker could be if your hands could hold or people would play proper poker against you.

This is how I went out of the scoop.

Preflop Late position with Ac7c. I raise guy who limps calls. Flop comes 689 two clubs and guy raises. I reraise and he calls the rest of his stack which was like 8k with AQo...!!!???? What??? I made the play because I knew he had nothing.

I have two scoop events left and I need to take a break from that kind of stuff.
