Its the second time this guy has had AA vs my KK, and both times I've shoved pf, and he is a totally **** about it. In chat he writes:aaaaaaaaaaaaaI have aces!hahahaI hope I don't get bad beatAll while letting the timer tick down, and then finally calling my shove.He's the worst player too, he limps all his big hands pf. So its gets to me even more when I give him $1000 in one hand.Mark

Do you think for my birthday tomorrow you can give me the gift of hitting your goal and letting live vicariously through you?
hehe, uh, I'll do what I can :)Just looking over my results. Its kind of nice to keep a blog like this of sorts...I'm seeing that over the last week and a half, I haven't played online much, and when I have I've played poorly. I think how well I play/focus is directly related to how disciplined I am about playing. When its a scheduled job and I treat it that way, I play well. When I take days off and don't treat poker like I should, I suck.Mark

Come on Mark, you only have a few days left, you can do it.BUT... try not to let your ego come into play and chase that 25 mark into destruction. I know poker is your job so you probably won't, but you had a very decent month, hell, you had a wonderfull month and it would be a shame to let it get to you if you won't make the 25K.In my oppinion you've already achieved á goal and that is to show that when you play serious you can destroy 3-6 nl. Kuddo's to that.Now get your *** to the table and make the 25K !!!!Jan

lol hrm... :)I'm feeling good still, I think I can do it. I'm about to put in a few hour session this morning so hopefully I come back and post that it went well. I think I ran really well at first because the Stars players didn't know me since I'd never played there before. I find myself getting 3 and 4 bet preflop way light now. Had a couple instances yesterday that confirmed this for me:I 4bet a guy pf with like 98s or something, he shoves, I fold, and he tells me: 'I read that same crappy article about 4betting light with A2s moron'. And then another guy calls me when I 4bet pf. He has TT with no spade. Flop comes K53 all spades. I pot flop, he calls. Turn 6 (I have 56h here) and we get it all in. So anyway, just felt like without a spade, thats a pretty tough call to make on the flop. So I'm adjusting now and really tightening up preflop. I feel like with Cardrunners and all the stuff that is out and available to people, the preflop play is just laggy as hell right now. At least thats the cycle I feel right now in 3/6 land...Mark

*sigh*Down $1300 right now. I've made a straight flush, quads twice, had AA and KK and QQ and JJ a brazillion times. What a crazy morning. Ran KK through AA, got overset for my stack in a blind battle on the flop, lost a $2000 coinflip AK vs QQ, make a couple bad shoves that cost me about $1000...I'll be back at it in a bit....Mark

Hey Fluff, thanks. Just noticed your post. I actually got back on, got owned for about 15 mins, picked up KK in a spot where I probably look pretty tilty, raise it up, and our electrician who is over installing some stuff shuts off the power to my office.ty, gg me.I'm on life tilt right now. I think I'm about $5K away, down to the low $20's in my account now. I think I'll move down to 2/4NL tonight to get my bearings back.Mark

This topic is kinda inspiring, and from another perspective, amazingly eye-opening to the greatness of some of the players here. A month and a half +~20k from a starting point of $500 is amazing to me. Wow. I hope that you're able to meet your goal of 25, but jeez to be stopped even at this point - to me at least - is an amazing feat. The starting point is the amazing thing. Color me thoroughly amazed.

Sucks... After how well you were running before anything's going to seem like crap luck, but those are tough beats. I'm sure you'll be fine. In the meantime, welcome to the left end of the bell curve. :D

Fo sho! I like the other end so much better :)When I got into bed last night though, I was like: You know, I've been playing kinda crappy for a week now, and tonight I really feel I played my A game all night long. Just was one of those nights. So I'm going to just be happy that my poker mojo is back, and play great Friday and Saturday, and see where I end up.Scott - I don't think I have enough hours left to be able to play to make my goal now, so I guess LGO is on you? Lets hook it up!Mark
