Just lost 13 thousand to 1 guy. I have never run worse in entire life. going to go break something.

I don't no most of you as I don't often post on this site, and if i do, it's in the NL section. But a lot of these posts were great reads and really informative. I am 19, and I did freshman year last year at the University of Pennsylvania. Right now I am taking a semester off for no real reason other then that it is hard to concentrate in school when I can play poker and make monies. In regards to the poker job resume thing, I have a few friends who are seniors now in college and who make bank in online poker, and says that it has actually helped huge in their favor. Granted, both the job

October is going swell so far.Hands played: 8,983Money won: $41,780Already passed how I did last month. I half want to keep up the commitment and hours, but I also am tempted to just chill and do nothing for like a week now haha.

No matter what way you spin your story and try to somehow make me look like the bad guy, hitting and running in heads up cash games is TERRIBLE etiquette. The worst part is by far is that i thought you actually understood this because you watched me that whole night, saw that guy jonstermonster hit and run me 5 or 6 times, and agreed with me that hitting and running was unethical and classless. i think thats the part that got me, and i wouldn't be so angry if i hadn't been so accommodating to you that whole night only to watch you do hit and run me like every other person does. Also, I woul

A bigger issue for you that is much larger then hand selection is:DONT HIT AND RUN FULL TILT REGULARS AT 10 20 NL HEADS UP AFTER THEY HAD THE DECENTLY TO TALK TO YOU WHILE YOU WERE ON THE RAIL FOR 4 HOURS, AND RIGHT AFTER YOU GET A SET VS TOP 2 PAIR.

bet closer to the pot on the flop, like 17 or 18. once he bets out the turn, you are usually beat here, so yeah without a read, fold is probably good.

i agree, still gotta call though. its 25 NL, people suck, and you have 2nd nuts. call call call.

i personally think you need 50 buy ins to play optimally in NL, especially when you get to higher games where the games are more aggro and the swings are larger. I remember when I went on a 15 buy in downswing 4 or 5 months ago at 2 4 NL and was so glad I had around 90 buy ins. Downswings are quite real and harsh, so if you play with 10 to 30, be prepared for a possible nosedive in your bankroll.

i think you played this perfectly fine. good play.

because people suck

hahaha yes this is true as well.

i would usually just call the flop raise unless you think you have a tight enough image to get him to fold. personally, i usually have such a shitty image that this kind of play would rarely work.

wtf is up with the attachments? for me, it says attachment space used 483.63K of 500K, and then says my graph is too much. pretty lame.anyway, I am up around $23,400 for October so far. Ship Ship Ship.

this is such flawed thinking its not even funny. wow. he posts about avoiding going broke and you say put it all on the line? do you understand variance? again, if you want to do this, just bet it all on red. seriously.

what stakes/limits do you play?

If I am ever at a table with Humberto Brenes in the future I am going to tell him to shut the **** up if he starts singing his own name at the top of his lungs after he busts someone out

LOL 2 buy ins. I have gone on a 15 buy in downswing, and I am pretty sure others on here have had similar experiences. The best feeling ever is when you are playing over rolled and you don't need to worry about going on a downswing. The next time you start again, try really hard to have at least 20 buy ins in any level you play. Playing on 2 buy ins is basically like playing craps or roulette. If thats what you want poker to be for you, why not just bet it all on red now and get it over with?

yeah, but what do i do with 44 to 77 here? from what i saw in one of his posts, he said he was shoving 88 for value on the turn against a hand like 66. so i am assuming that he completely misread my flat call simply because he wouldn't think I would make such an obvious flat call with a 9. see everything you are saying is correct for sure, just that he knows all this. so in a way, doing the obvious play is what got him to misplay my hand, since im supposed to be a "legit" player.

i agree with you, but at the same time, he knows this right? so therefore, level wise speaking, if i flat call, he would think, "wow, if he had a 9, he should have shoved. theres no way he has a 9 here then, i thought he was legit. **** it, im shoving the turn for value. don't mess with aejones."

Not just in this hand, but in general, the whole reason to play fastplay a hand and play it straight forward vs good players is so they cant put you on that hand. So I am thinking as the hand goes on what he is thinking, and how he can't possibly think that I have a 9 here. So level wise, I am either 1 level ahead, or 1 level behind lol. Pick either one, although I am a huge fish so its probably the 1 level behind.

LOL. Here are the 3 days of October.October 1st-Won 9 grandOctober 2nd-Lost 8 grandOctober 3rd-Won 12.5 grandI also played Matusow heads up for 2K and won. SHIPPP IT.I would post my graph but it says file was larger then available space. blah. just take my word for it or read my fabulous blog.Strong 9 out

yeah, i was stunned. the thing is, i had heard he was an real good player. im not sure if he is that, but he definitely knows what he is talking about on 2+2 a lot of the time, which is why it actually did kind of bother me some of the stuff he was saying. If some random shortstacker bi.tches after a session, it means nothing but he isnt that so i dunno. Although I think it was mostly that he misread my hand so bad that he took it out on me, still not sure.results are i had A9, and snap called his shove on the turn. He then literally ranted for at least 20 minutes about how awful I was.

no i am the villain in the 88 hand. results to come laterrrrr.

On that A5 hand, I 3 bet preflop to 90. Bet the flop. Then check called the turn. Then wimped out on river and just check called.

i was actually there witnessing the event, and Naismith was more concerned with trying to to start a fist fight then he was to play poker. Some guy kept raising every hand and Naismith took personal offense to it. Although I might have messed that story up and switched up the people, I really cant remember
