Dont bother.I am running -0,8BB/100 after 55k hands on 2/4.
In contrast I am running 2,5BB/100 on 1/2
f**** variance:)
Variance. yeah, right.
The network is rigged. And I still play because its rigged for everybody. Just not everybody is hit hard.
Oh I just remembered something. The one I most admire is redskwerl. And do you know why? Have you seen his graphs? They're all straight up. Its like variance doesn't affect him. How's that possible? He plays up to 50/100. Just check his graphs from last 3 months.

redskwerl has a cousin working at PokerInternational Rigging Services Inc. IMO.
Everybody hates me now
Opal99: It was obvious a bad play. You don't need to review it
Dawnfall: I'm only leaving bet365, not iPoker or 2/4... So no worries
zivko: It's Živko probably, right?
Well, I hit trips on a flop and you caught 2 outer on a turn...
It was fair for me to catch a quads ♦ And this was a payback for all river hits you made against me in the past

You had to work it out eventually.
I don't hate you, since you replied to my thread: P
Epic long blog. I'm still reading the 2008 stuff when you were on .5/1

Who's redskwerl

Well I had before the flop, it was fair for me to hit a Q.
1/3 of a month is over.
I'm still playing 2/4 plus 1/2 occasionally. For September I'm still down ~400$, but it doesn't matter, because I'm expecting huge bonus
No problem... For now
I noticed I sometimes tilt really easily. After a big bad beat I tend to raise next hand no matter what I have, I calldown when I'm certain I'm beat, I try to bluff on coordinated board. I get hot, nervous, sweaty...
Well I decided this has to go and I already noticed some improvement. For example, today I had QQ and there was cap preflop. board 45Q, smooth call, and then some runner-runner (cap of course) came for him and he won with a shitty hand (don't remember actually what he had. J8 or something like that). Sweat started dripping out of my forehead in a matter of seconds. I just closed my eyes, start breathing deeply (read in some NLP articles) and just played on. In situation like this I would get from +100 to -100 in 20 hands ♦
I'm definitely buying Tommy Angelo book, but can't do that until I cash out everything on my MB account. (October).
On the other hand... NL at PokerStars is going... Great
Too good to be true actually.
I deposited 140$ (100€?) and started playing NL5 FR 9 tables. I easily got to 250$ and I moved up to NL10. Again easily got to ~500$ and I decided to move to NL25. ATM I am at +700$.
This is obvious not fair, because I haven't read any articles about NL (at least not for "real"). I'm just playing like I feel I should and I'm usually killing opponents with my aggressive play.
To be honest, I was a bit lucky too. For a month I was running 100$ above EV line, at the moment I am under EV line already, but graph is still going up lol.
Well NL is fun and fine but bad beats there... Man.. Bad beats are so much LESS painful than at FL
Bad beats are more frustrating at FL SH than at NL FR. At least for me that is.
You get bad beat like once in 20 hands you play with 9 tables. At FL SH, every second hand is painful.
I had ~50$, villain had 68$. I had KK, he had AJ. Flop AKx and we went all-in. T and Q came and he won with runner runner. I just waved with my hand and played on. Like nothing happened. It's so much easier when you are already all-in on a flop
Won't bother you anymore.
Lets see that ticker already:
leaving bet365: 20860 of 60000 MP (34,7%)
poker matrix: 10/10 1200 MP - 180$ already secured.
Nice to hear you're doing well with NL. I tried too. Nothing interesting is happening in NL. Like I read in "don't remember" post: NL has 1 difficult spot in every 1k hands. In FL its every second hand.
btw I'm quitting iPoker(Titan and Mansion) 9th September. I can't handle the rigging anymore. And it's rigged alright. I've put so much volume and I'm still not even $1k up(and I have tells on most of the regulars). I'll play on non-tracked FullTilt and Pokerstars , so top250 is over for me.
and about tommy angelo go to amazon. $29 and it has a preview of the first couple of pages.
Hello CoreySteel,
Nice to hear that you're doing great so far and I can only wish you the be-- OH MY GOD IT'S A FIXED LIMIT BLOG!
Dawnfall, you are my unlucky charm! Pls, don't come back to 2/4 on iPoker ever again!!!!
From the moment that you have sat down on my table, I made -250$ (about 150 hands). When you left... I made +330$ in 100 hands lol.
True story...
Heh, I guess I only profit from TAGs, fish totaly cracks me. Today I lost 3 times in a row against 1-2 outers. But you on the other hand:) You are on my buddy list....hahaha:) joke, fuckin variance
Hey Corey, Kinda new to the site....(just skimmed through your blog)
Did you go broke when playing at Mansion ...you went from a roll of like 2k to $250 playing 1/2and were on mad monkey tilt .....
They all of a puddins ..you appear again like 2 months later playing 2/4 say that you didnt go broke ...no graphs ....nothing just talk of a new roll
I dont get it what happend???
