HighwayStar 8 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Little late but..Simply turn $200 BR into $1000 with MTT's ($3R+, $5+), 9 man SnG's ($11+), $11 HUAt the moment ~ $850 so going well.Side targets Beat my previous best in a $3R (39th) - Not AchievedGet deep in an $11+ 3k starting chip MTT - 34th in the $11 20k guarantee Beat $20 9 man SnG's - so far 20+% ROI, not keeping exact record but good so far.Go deep in an $11R -Play in a Sunday Million - Probably do it this weekend.If I have the chance improve my limit games - moderate success @ LHE and FLO8b NO NLHE cash games until I get the BR to play 25c/50c, can't stand grinding out micro limits (30 Buy-Ins so $1500 BR) Link to post Share on other sites
TeeSludge 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm happy that I've played 10k hands so far this month which puts me on pace for the most I've ever played in a month.. however I'm running horribly.. still up over the stretch but not much. As bad as I'm running in cash games doesn't compare to tournaments.. bbfidts but AK<AQ on AKx flop with 10 left in 5r when i was 3rd in chips, AA<77 on A 10 7 x 7 board all in on turn on bubble, and AA <88 with 10 left when i was chip leader button vs. BB 2nd in chips AIPF. /end rant/no one cares anyway/someone give me a tissue.

iggymcfly 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Even though I've been running a little bit better lately, I think my general frustration with the month plus the realization that I'm not going to get to go with my friends to the LAPC unless I get lucky doing something stupid and degenerate put me on tilt. Was actually 4-tabling playing 2 tables of 2/4 and 2 tables of 5/10 for a while tonight. Made a little bit of a comeback and escaped without going completely busto. My internet started acting a little sketchy too which helped push me over the edge and get me off my tables.It's super depressing trying to grind 0.5/1 and struggling to break even there considering how recently I was hammering the 1/2 games though. My long-term winrate is still about as high as is possibly sustainable according to 2+2 (6 PTBB/100), but I'm now in a 50,000 hand downswing in terms of BB. It takes a really strong person to deal with that kind of variance and I'm not sure that's me.I find there are two completely different types of tilt I deal with. One is the "immediate crushing loss" tilt where you just lost a larger amount than you feel mentally equipped to deal with and you can't quit until you get some of it back because you'll be too depressed. That's what I dealt with right after losing the prop bets and what caused me to jump to 5/10 when I was losing on my 2/4 tables tonight. But the other one is just as bad and is why I sat down at 2/4 in the first place tonight. I'd call it "make something happen" tilt. It happens whenever I'm in a really long downswing time-wise. It's where I start to doubt myself and feel like grinding is getting me nowhere and that I'm never going to make a significant number of buy-ins. I feel like the only way I'm going to make any money is just to jump stakes and get lucky and I get this really strong urge to play higher just to finally make some progress.Anyway, sorry if that was kind of long. Cliff notes: The variance in PLO is soul-crushing and will eventually make you do something stupid if you're a weak-minded individual like myself. Still not busto yet though.

Unless the table conditions are really good for bluffing, it's not really something I focus on. Only when someone else's hand is transparent and I can represent something and I know he's not a station etc. will I bluff. Well, at least on a good day.Then you have bluff happy me who just bluffs cuz it's funny. "Tee hee I tricked you!" Link to post Share on other sites

simo_8ball 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 1/ 20k hands minimum. Preferably 30k.2/ If I'm playing bad or tilting, leave the tables regardless of how good the games are.Nothing specific monetarywise, but I want to be:3/ Very comfortably rolled for $100pl by the middle of the month.4/ Well on the way to $200pl by the end of the month.It's ambitious, but I want to have a real drive for success.1/ Somewhat likely. I'm at 7400 hands so far.2/ Check. Despite some horrible sessions I haven't felt like I've been tilting or playing bad. Occasional lapses in concentration and odd mistakes here and there, but no real tilt.3+4/ Not a ****ing chance. I lost 14.4 buyins last night, and overall for the month I'm down 19.5 buyins. I'll be lucky if I'm still at $50pl by the end of the month. I'm running 11 buyins below expectation on allins for the month.The one thing I'm proud of is that I dropped over 14 buyins in one session, ran worse than should be mathematically possible, and I still wasn't tilting. I was still making good laydowns. Link to post Share on other sites

He's got to be a huge fish in most FL games.In my NL sessions a lot of my pots come when I take people off of hands. If you have solid live reading abilities sensing weakness and knowing when you can force people out of a pot can make you a winner in a card dead session. Link to post Share on other sites
