Fixed Limit with Ava

I would be under too much pressure playing with someone else's money. But lots of ppl don't have problem with these things and some even flourish under these conditions.

Weirdos

I tried it back when a friend wanted me to move up from 5/T to T/20c (i had a 600BB DS the first 40k hands) after 2 days where i lost those last $20 i needed to move up with a good br mng. Those $20 he gave me, I felt so bad so I transfered 20 of "my own" to him just to get out of the deal (made on paper irl friend) so yeah. It doesn't fit right with me unless theres like someone who would want to work with me on a daily basis and have extreme faith in me(hes gonna need it because i dont in myself ♦ )

so after some good upswing days at T/20c i returned to 25/50c a lot less frustrated and happy. even though ive been decently card dead ive had some good play i think and for the first time this month im not in -(minus) wooooooohooooo also ive played like 13k hands which is 3 times as much as my average hands per month all year long. crazy

so today has been good

+$17.02

and it was funny I knew i was close to my 2k yearly $10 VPP bonus

while i played 25/50c etc i stopped and had briefly forgotten about it then i noticed it and clicked to see how many VPP i had left .. 1 fucking VPP ♦ so i sat at some 5/Tc tables won quite a few dollars and got my $10 bonus

so all in all +$27.02 day

Hi Daniel,
First of all callsdown if the opponent is unknown to you.
Make a note of this. We need to know who are all capable of semibluffing the Turn..
Opponent had to bet the River here, you may have folded! ♦

Just call down from flop, ez game

Also his turn raise is interesting but certainly defendable if he has a call-flop/raise turn tendency like most TAGs do, if he doesn't that's a BS raise and I'd call down AQ-high

But you avoid being put in this situation is you just flat call flop and turn and let him barrell off

Also happy getting one year old day

Congratz for your birthday!

Happy birthday!

happy bday ava!

thanks guys so much love <3 thats more than i get from my irl friends haha ♦ <3 thank you so much

WTF were you doing sicko. the guy was 21/14/3.8 in my db ..

today was a good day .. ive been running and playing really good since i had 1 hour of coaching with my good friend Leader22.

today 1k hands a mix of 25/50c and 5/Tc (practicing 13 tabling.. Too fucking hard omg dropped $4 instantly) I can do 8 - 10 alright but just those extra 3 - 4 tables made it too hard

somehow im an idiot. as of 17 (5 PM) this afternoon i had been awake for 24 hours in a row. even so I decided to play a lot of poker since the wife and kids are at grandparents .. In fact I played so much i reached 2092 hands OMG.. lately ive put in an incredible amount of volume. normally i did 400 per day or so .. this month ive done reguarly between 1k and 2k btw look forward to my monthly graph. heres hoping i didn't jinx it!

currently on a 150BB at worst ds over 1k hands . the last 5k hands or so ive managed to get about 50BBish back. hoping i will continue up slowly more than the 100BB i was up at my max point on 25/50c

but will post graphs :/ I kinda am so annoyed about this month. Only reason im not in - is because of T/20c and a bit of 5/Tc .. as said being about -100BB down this month at 25/50c I am kind of annoyed.. I certainly play good enough. Just things haven't went my way the majority of the times. although today in my last session I had quite a few hands which i was lucky in heres an example.

I simply can't explain how he can go so crazy to fold to the cap :/ i am positive it was tilt spamming raise button . This guy is a regular LAGTAG and has pretty loose stats

39/32/21/SD41% over 328 hands.

heres one against a fish.

Ended month at 1.46BB/100 so thats fine and In plus too But thats only because of T/20c. If i had stuck with 25/50c and left it as it is. then I would have been in -.. Of course i just had a slow 150BB downer from last months top point. nothing that can be done about that but still. I would so like to be above BE line at 25/50c overall.

please next month continue to go up. I do have a feeling though that I have gained more respect from the regulars there and they are not as eager to play me anymore.

On another note. This month is my second most played month all time in terms of hands.. Astonishing 22.763 hands with record being 25.339 hands set back in June of 2012

and this month where i have collected the most VPP of all time in a single month. 1108.13VPP this month. put that next to This years VPP and you'll see how little ive played

This month: 1108.13 VPP
This Year : 2456.57 VPP

Hey
