I started the day with the mindset of moving back down to NL2 after a 2BI stop loss limit. But I just had a sweet session ♦ One of the tables was the best I've ever sat down at with a good deal of crazy players and a little run good ♠_thumbsup:

This was against a villain with 54/18 stats that was also aggressive and bluffed a lot. I was a little deep though so I didn't want to go too crazy lol.

I would have bet again on river but a full house hits enough times to make me check/call with 1100BB stack

I ran bad on other tables though so I would have made more than what I made

Well, I think you win the $10 challenge ainec!

Yea without that I wouldn't even have this money. So I'll buy you a couple beers one day lol

1100 bb deep? Nice run much? ♦

It was an OK run

But now Im 800bb under EV GAH!

HM2 decided to make my database disappear lol so I had to make a new one. More specifically, postgres wasn't responding so I clicked a button like "start over" which is what HM2 was telling to click and then I was redirected to name my new database

On another note, I watched some hasenbraten videos that are like 3 years old and they put me back on the right track ♦ I ended up making $3.75 after ~4K hands Tonight I will attack every $5 I see!!!

I just checked my position stats on HM2. I lost $31.03 on the BB yesterday in NL5 lawl! All of those set over sets/AK vs AA BB vs BTN/squeezes with QQ but A comes on the flop and both players called/etc. Not cool!

Playground free-roll Sunday???

DAMN I forgot about that... Band practise will have to end early

I can't believe Im back to 19BI for NL5... sets over sets, AA vs KK... all the !@#$ing time! And me playing like the worst player I've ever seen.

This will be my only negative type post by the way but FUCK.

Sorry about that last post everyone that reads my blog lol. I'm not saying this because I had a couple great sessions, but I think I really fixed my game this time. Now I don't get as mad when I get sucked out for a descent amount of hands because I'm actually playing well so I make back the money and more after something like 1000 hands and more.

I decided to watch that show 2M2MM (2 million in 2 months) and one guy needed to go in something called a lock down and play like 12 hours so that he can really work on his game. He kept losing though and ended up getting drunk haha. I actually did a lock down myself and it was the longest poker sessions that I've had in a cash game ever!

I ended up staying up until 4am playing poker because I was running so good... Thank god I had redbull for today lawl.

Tomorrow I take a shot at 10NL because I have $196 in my BR now + T$1.50

That last vertical line you see on the EV line was the following hand...

Poker lockdowns are great if they dont make you go mad. Great blog will be following, best of luck~!

Thank you Dr. I want to say that I'll be doing more lockdowns soon but my sessions are just going to end up being very long anyways so it's kind of the same thing.

I was wondering if anyone would have tips for NL10? Like how big the average pot/players per flop percentage would be for descent table selecting; if they like to bluff more often or if there are more LAG type players (I saw that the regular TAGs at NL5 were playing 14/12 lol)? I would think that there would be way more players that have a clue of what they're doing and are looking to improve their game at that level?

I'll also probably be making a coaching type video while 6 tabling that I'll upload to youtube (unless I find out that it's a bad idea) I'll get bored because it's so few tables so I might as well make a video instead of doing other distracting things haha.

And Jaggedlink, I might or might not see you tomorrow! It depense on how late I wake up

aw I ran bad.

-$11.88 --> EV +$5.54 in 861 hands. And there were hands like JJ hitting the set on the river when I hit my 99 set on the flop.

Under EV after first day but I'll take the money ♦

I almost felt bad about how good I ran today lol. I'd almost rather run on EV and get sick spots than run like 6 BIs over EV in one session x)

I'm sure it's karmic returns for the times you've run under, nothing to feel bad about!

I dont think that it's so much feeling bad than knowing that I will run under EV soon

And I just played a very short session where I lost $30 total ($20 NL10 and $10 PLO5). Just one of those days where I just felt like gambling and didn't really care lol.

BR sits at $260
