Royal_Tour 0 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 My goal for June is to stop being a pansy-assed, weak/tight, scared money uber-rock.I folded kings preflop yesterday to AK. I hate myself.P.S., an ace came on the flop. :icon_dance:P.P.S, I still hate myself. dont play results. p.s. what was the action for the hand? Link to post Share on other sites
David_Nicoson 1 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 p.s. what was the action for the hand?UTG raises to 15. 3 people call. I reraise to 100 from the BB. UTG pushes for ~350 total. short-stack calls. Pansy folds.Yeah, it was pretty bad. Link to post Share on other sites

Pansy folds.Yeah, it was pretty bad.at 2/4NL or above i call. at 1/2 NL if i have UTG covered, I might think fold. so lets just say it was 1/2NL and u had 400. Link to post Share on other sites

Alex916F 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 well one of the goals for the month has been taken care of .... FT a significant tourny which i did when i got 6th in the 15k gaurantee. so far the month is good Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I might have to start playing horse more seriously. I've been trying to learn some of the games, playing .5/1 then 1/2 and 2/4 for awhile (3/6 when it's going), been playing 5/10 for just like the 3rd time, and I'm up about 25 BB over 200 hands tonight. Sample size is about as small as they come, but still. HE and O8 are easily my worst games. Stud8 is my best I think. Link to post Share on other sites

Roberts2003 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 im at $39,560, so i won around $4,500 this past week. this isn't much for 5 10 NL which I have been playing. hopefully i can get to $42,000 this week then stop for the day and smoke a massive amount of weed.UPS Link to post Share on other sites
sennin 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well through 7k hands Im pretty much break even at 25NL, sad I know. Not really enjoying it either so It's back to MTT's once I get my silverstar status. Goal is to make $500 from those before the month is up. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yesterday was kind of bad...lost $2.5k playing 5/10 NL at the Rio (I hate getting oversetted) and then lost another $5k at 5/10 NL online (KK < AA, QQ < A3o, QQ < AQ, KK < 52o, AA < KK). Feel like I'm playing decently...guess I was just due for another meltdown session at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 lol, HE and O8 are my best games... we can switch in and out.We should, I'm seriously crushing the 3 stud games all last night and tonight, definitely losing at 08 and probably at HE too (but I play HE uber tight so I'm not losing as much ).

Alex916F 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 well i immidiately followed up my 15K FT with a win in a 15+1.5 tourny on sunday. we made a deal 4 handed and three of us got 1.6K and the other 1k. pretty happy about it. definately played better in this tourny than on the 15K. I had one suck out the whole tourny which was on the bubble, put the guy on total air and i had a royal flush draw and also thought my A was good... wasnt that bad of a suck out, i was 2:1 dog with one card to come, hit a straight on the end and 2 hands later won a coin flip for half my stack making my number 1 in the tourny and proceeded to bully everyone the rest of the way. Put my money in good so many times and they would suck out, hit the FT at 8 of 9 but got the cards at the right time...Pretty happy about this last week especially. I have 2.6K in checks coming my way and gonna buy a new laptop and take a shot at a 100 dollar tourny at a casino i have gone to. great structure. Cash games are going great probably the last 5 or 6 sessions of 100NL i have averaged 150 in profit some day was up to 300 or more, no days less than a 100 dollar win. Not playing too terribly much either. My fiance has been getting on my case a bit for playing so much. hard to not play when ur winning so consistently. I have accomplished my FT goal and I am definatley beating 100NL full ring. Been doing so great in those i haven't concentrated on 50NL 6 Max or 6 Max PLO... Played a bit of PLO today for a half buy in win but i have definately not put a lot of hands in. my earnings this month are definately higher than i expected so things are going great. And i havent been putting in a solid 4-5 hour session playing 4 tables of cash so becoming Goldstar maybe harder than i expected, but what evPeace Link to post Share on other sites

Hope your live ventures don't go like this as well or you'll be a sad panda.lol, because I only play long sessions when I get stuck, lol, and since I'm sooooo awesome at poker, I inevitably get back to even or so before I quit.I'm in a ridiculously soft 10/20 full game on AP right now, and I've made up about half of the losses so far, so I'll post an updated graph, perhaps one that goes above the $0 line before bed... lol Link to post Share on other sites
Roberts2003 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 how long have you been playing 5/10 if your roll is only 40k?also, if you dont mind, whats the 12 month plan for you? are u gonna keep playing 5/10 and just keep building? do u have a set goal in mind?I want to jump to 2/4NL - 2/5NL soon, but i'm thinking i should wait until i'm at 10k. 20max buy-ins.well i deposited 1K in the middle of February and worked up. 25 50, 50 1, 1 2, 2 4, and now 5 10. i skipped 3 6 because it felt odd. i just started playing 5 10 NL about a week ago. its beginning to feel more normal, although i still feel gross when i lose 1K on a single hand. my initial plan was to get to 40K and then cash out 20K to invest in stuff. im not sure if i still am going to do that. i don't think i will go beyond 5 10 unless its 10 20 and the game is good, which i have already done at times. i think 20 buy ins is minimum for a level, especially SH and HE as variance is huge. good luck with moving up.

Zach6668 513 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ok, here'd the update.I almost got to even, then some MASSIVE donkey, like the best donk at the table... and there were 8 of them, lol, anyways, he took me for several pots in a row. It was silly. Then the game got 6 handed, then 5, then 4 and i got back to even at the table... up $15 actually, lol.Good times.Oh, I also cleared $60 in bonus and like $80ish in RB and like $50 worth of ARPs... so only like a $150 loss somehow.

timwakefield 68 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Good lord my $300 PXF subscription paid off. Just chopped the 55k gtd on stars HU for $9100, by far my biggest win. Didn't accomplish my goal of winning a tournament this month, but I'll take 2ndish (he got slightly more in the chop, had more chips).This is a hand I probably wouldn't have played, and certainly not the way I did, except that JohnnyBax told me to.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Continued this morning with another couple 5/10 buyins...so I'm on a 3 session -$10k downswing. =/Considering whether to take a break. I've made a few mistakes, but I feel like I'm playing decently and running badly. Definitely dropping back down to 2/5 live and probably 3/6 online. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Couldn't sleep, so I decided to play a little .25/.50 on my severely depleted Stars roll and 2/4 on my FT roll. Won $300 in about 1.5 hours. Amazing what a nice boost that is to the confidence. The psychology is ridiculous, but now I don't have "loser" gnawing at me. Link to post Share on other sites

Won $300 in about 1.5 hours. Amazing what a nice boost that is to the confidence. The psychology is ridiculous, but now I don't have "loser" gnawing at me.Somebody somewhere on this forum talked about "booking a win" when you've been losing a lot of sessions, to help psychologically. Basically just to sit down and decide that you're gonna leave with a profit, even if you only play 10 hands and the profit is very small. Link to post Share on other sites
Roberts2003 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 had a gross session yesterday. luckily only lost a grand overall, although i was up a grand at one point so i had a 2 grand downswing. i played some guy heads up and we got all in twice preflop, each being a 1K pot, QQ<J10, 10 10 <KJ. I hope to get my rakeback from May soon to ease the pain, as its around 650$. i just want to get over 40K and stay there. Is that toooo much to ask??Bankroll-$38,500 Link to post Share on other sites
