It's almost like Christmas, when you raise AA from UTG1, you are reraised by Button, and on more time reraised from BB. You just reraise, guys shove, you call. you see a club only flop, Ace of clubs in your hand, nothing much changes, and you beat QQ, and AK for 2 BI 
Running quite good lately, I think I am finding my game at NL4, I would love a higher winrate though, but I am doing my best. Also I am starting to notice that some regs are abusing my fold to reraise, because lately when I hold AK/AQ, and reraise, I am reraised quite often. I am folding those as well as pocket Tens.
What do you think about my nittyness?

Well, I guess complaining about bad beats worked fine. I am winning flips with pocket pairs against AQ/AK, and so on. My BR loves it, I am up ~30 usd during last 3 days.
Btw, my friend today decided to deposit 30 usd to pokerstars. He's not a recreational player, and tried his luck at NL10 tables with 3 BI only. And somehow, his table was on 71,800,000,000 hand, and he won ~280 usd ♦
Now that's a BR management ♦
My first exam is tomorrow, I feel quite ready for it. Bring it on!
My BR graph.
It has been a while since last time I posted here, finished my exam session, 8,68 out of 10 is my average, then I managed to win some money, but yesterday went down like 3BI again, nothing to blame, but myself. Far far away from my A game...
Yesterday was a really special day for me, now it is officially 4 years when we are together, you are all I have and I love you so much Rasyte
Hey man,
I saw you at the tables Do you use HUD? Or know some stats? I got 120 hands on you and your VPIP/PFR is 16/6. Good TAG players have low gap between these stats. Just an advice, I think you should raise more and less limp preflop.
hey, nice to hear some thoughts. If you saw me on December 24-25, I must say, that I have been far away from my game, cause I wasn't getting anything to raise with, and lot's of 99-44 hands, no sets though So far, I like what I do, because I am winning, but yes, I have to make that gap smaller.
Merry Christmas everyone
I suck at poker I guess. I need a much higher self discipline, because sometimes, the way I play is unacceptable. I am starting to catch quite good reads about my opponents, and I am paying them just to make sure. Trough few last sessions I am 140% sure...had a downswing, which consist of poorly played hands, and some QQ against vilains KK, AA<KK, AA against sets, that's normal. Also yesterday for the first time in my life I played against a maniac. A real true maniac at NL4 table. I think I played quite well against him. I took 2.5BI from him in just 138 hands that was nice end, of terrible session for me.
Here's the last hand against him:

Hello ladies and Gentleman, I am back on track!
I'm starting my 2012 year of poker just now with 1K GTD at partypoker, in 15 minutes.
My goals for the year:
-Reach NL25 (not only bankroll suitable for playing there, but also my own level of thinking like NL25 players do).
-Go for 1K summer challenge this summer.
-Improve my understanding of the game.
"Impossible is nothing" is my new years chant
busted 385/1003. I sat at the table for 5 levels and got 77/22/22 for the best hands. Pushed the last of my stack with KJo ran into AKs and after J high flop he made a runner runner flush.
I'll go for cash tonight, time for grind
yesterday my database decided to broke, and I lost almost all my hands.. sucks to be me Today is the new start of the semester. We'll see how it goes.
There's a lot of weird things happening. I am on a sick heater during last three days, my BB/100 at NL4 is like 2.5x the normal one. And I am grinding and grinding and grinding towards the NL10. Who would have thought, that I can do it? ♦ Seriously, I am really happy about this, I just wish I can keep this up
From 341 usd to 313 usd in less than 2k hands. I am completely ridiculed by the PP during last few days, lost 60 percent of my monthly profit. They catch their set's, flushes, straights on the river against my top pair/set and so on. I feel like I when I get a hand, everybody are free to take a look at it. My favourite hand of this epic downswing is this. It pretty much sum's up, how I lost 10percent of my BR...

I guess, I'll stay away from the tables for a while. Because, I am loosing my temper.
after my downswing I became crippled both mentally and physically. It took me a while, to come back to the tables, but now I am slowly rebuilding. My knee also hurts a lot for the last 5 days. It could be, that I have a serious injury after the last basketball game. Sucks.
I am playing 1k GTD at Party when I have time, any ideas where to look for more MTT knowledge?
Donkaments rock! had KK, and reraised initial raiser, so the guy behind me decided, that AK will do, and pushed. turn and river running aces.. hit 2/3outs gg. And this one is even better:

Who need's a strategy after all?
Lost 2 BI to various, pardon me, idiots.
I start to think it's about the time to change poker rooms and enjoy all that luck, you can get during your first week. Flop a two pair on the flop, guy catches a better two pair on turn or river.
3 bet a guy who has ATs, while holding AK, flop comes K high, he catches flushdraw plus gutshot, calls pot sized bets, and gets his gutshot on the river.
Catch a flush on turn, idiot fom BB completes a full house on the river when board double pairs.
flop top two pair, after preflop raise against blinds, he improves to a better two pair after pot sized bet....
I am donating money everyday, fell free to come.
you should focus on mindset. It is the most important thing in today's poker. You are lucky your downswing came in NL4 because now you can cheaply learn how to deal with its dark passenger - tilt. And you should post hands instead of complaining i am sure we could find some leaks there. No offence, i have been where you are now.
goals for march.
Get 10BI.
Play 10 - 15K hands.
Improve my game to a next level.
Complete 3 lessons of beginner school.
Learning is fun
yesterday learnt a lesson that I must strictly apply two rules.
Rule number 1. After a good session, enough is enough. Was up 3BI, made a pause, came back to the tables, ended up with -3,5 BI.
Rule number 2. -2BI is enough for the day. I would just clear my head, study some materials, come back another day.
Got tablescan turbo, that's a nice tool to have. Ripped off some fishes, but then this hand happened. Once again, why do they play it like this? Guy is a complete maniac, ripped him a few times before, and decided to stay at the table, as he was donating money.

I am in the zone, ate some fishes today! Nice 414BB over 500 hands

yesterday's fishing trip went really really well. Better than ever
Take a look at the graph!
And this happened while 4 - tabling only!
