This weekend I'm going to Chicago. Then I come home on Tuesday, have a few days then leave for Turning Stone next Friday.Goals: More than 15k hands, Run good.Non-cash game goals: Turn a profit at Turning Stone, make at least one live MTT final table, get drunk a lot during Welcome Week at U of M.July Graph

Congrats, good month.

My turn for some graphs, first, the madness that is 2-4 after 4k handsSecondly, Another solid month, June and July have been great to me:Goals: Have 25k to my name by September 1st, moving day.I currently have about 16.3k.

[The Lobster 0]

Mine is a bit more modest than the rest, as are my goals, but if I post them here I have to be accountable for them right?Oh, and I'll do an area graph just to be different. Also +$320 in the 2 MTT I played (one bubble and one FT)July goals: play 10k+ hands and turn $250 into $1500Result: almost made enuff hands and at one point had the monetary goal easy before Mount Saint Tilt happened. August goal: play 10k+ hands, finish the month up $1500, and if necessary be able to stand up, walk away, and realize some days the doomswitch is on and there is no reason to get tilty because of it.Bob

The entire week I've been running completely awful. I've dropped over 10 buy-ins now at 50 NL full ring and it's getting disgusting. This hand has to be the grossest I've seen in a long stretch of gross hands. Note: I'm almost never raising this UTG but I wasn't getting much card-wise and was trying to mix things up some.

Dropping down in limits has been good for my confidence and my bankroll.So far, I've played 2 short sessions, and met nothing but weak/tight players. Obviously, I lucked out on table selection, but it was a welcome change of pace.

[Jordan 1]

Here is my month.Ohafoahwefohaei at 200nl this month so gross.Just finished month up with a 3k hand sesh. Basically broke even. Sigh. Overall good month...lost -1791.76$ in donkaments.+$6,037.76 (+2.2k more if we include my neteller withdraw which I'm taking out of the "roll" right away)i'll take it considering how dismal it was looking before this last week.gl in august.- Jordan

July was the month of nl10. August will be the month of nl25 and beyond :fingers crossed:for detailed results and goalshttp://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...=0#entry2047932Everyone run good kthxbye.

day 1: 526 hands total. +$196.day 2: DNPday 3: 1250 hands. +$340day 4: 2400 hands. -$295day 5: 1750 hands. -65i could have played a lot better. i got really frustrated towards the end. also if you have the nuts on the river, could you not min-raise me; and if you flop a set, then min-raise and min-bet instead of overshoving? much appreciated. ty.

August off to a good start, Plus $700 in my session tonight.Also, my brother played on my account for like 4 hours today, and he doesn't know about all the rakeback he's making me. Free money FTW.

[Jordan 1]

Brag: Got fulltilt to work on linux so signed up for rakebackBeat: Even though I never played real money on my account, I needed to sign up a new account for rakebackVariance: Found a name that fits me ok, check sigI'll be accepting any stakeaments people want to send me as I won't deposit less than $600, I'm not wasting this bonus like I did with Absolutes.Edited beat: Can't get resizable tables working so it's likely to be even longer before I use full tilt regularly.

[wsox8 10]

play a few short sessions yesterdayAP: +31Stars: +17FT: +10yeah it's not much but if every day was like this then I'd be pretty happy..Also watched the Good Shepherd, which was pretty good but I didn't expect it to be so long...

Ok just wanted to show you guys that there are crazy monkeys even at 5/10NL. All these hands involved the same guy. This post will be long with the HH's but skim through it, its hilarious.So I sit down at a few tables, and this is the first hand to go down:Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$106 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $1248UTG+1: $1399.75CO: $1505.50Button: $857.05SB: $1371NoSup4U: $1000Pre-flop: (6 players) NoSup4U is BB with 4 4 UTG raises to $35, 3 folds, SB raises to $130, NoSup4U folds, UTG calls.Flop: 3 K 8 ($270, 2 players)SB bets $140, UTG calls.Turn: 6 ($550, 2 players)SB bets $400, UTG calls.River: K ($1350, 2 players)SB checks, UTG checks.Results:Final pot: $1350SB showed 5c 6sUTG showed Ad KdSo the guy looks to be a bit of a maniac. Two hands after that one, this hand goes down:Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$105 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $857.05CO: $701NoSup4U: $985SB: $1930BB: $1505.50Pre-flop: (5 players) NoSup4U is Button with 8 8 UTG calls, CO raises to $40, NoSup4U calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls.Flop: 3 9 Q ($170, 4 players)SB checks, UTG checks, CO is all-in $661, NoSup4U folds, SB folds, UTG calls.Turn: T ($1492, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $1492)River: 4 ($1492, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $1492)Results:Final pot: $1492UTG showed Qc 2cCO showed Kh TcSo now I'm really sure he's a maniac. Then 3hands later, this beauty goes down and he stacks me:Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$105 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $1815CO: $1658.50Button: $1600.05SB: $990NoSup4U: $910Pre-flop: (5 players) NoSup4U is BB with A Q UTG folds, CO raises to $35, Button folds, SB raises to $130, NoSup4U raises to $425, CO folds, SB calls.Flop: 9 Q K ($885, 2 players)SB is all-in $565, NoSup4U calls all-in $485.Uncalled bets: $80 returned to SB.Turn: 8 ($1855, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $1855)River: J ($1855, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $1855)Results:Final pot: $1855SB showed Ah TsNoSup4U showed Ac QsLOL always a fun way to start off a session. I was directly on his left at another table as well, so I just explioted him constantly and got it all back in small increments. But then, the great part about this guy, was that at the end of his session, he open shoved a 200bb stack 8 out of 9 times before he left. He never got called. Best hand I had during that shove session was A2o. Here are a couple. It was honestly 8 out of 9 times. I'd show them all but then it would be even more spammy Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$106 playersConverterStack sizes:NoSup4U: $1646UTG+1: $1050CO: $985Button: $2159.50SB: $500.05BB: $2142Pre-flop: (6 players) NoSup4U is UTG with T 5 NoSup4U folds, UTG+1 folds, CO raises to $35, SB folds, BB raises all-in $2142.Uncalled bets: $2107 returned to BB.Flop: : : : ($2182, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2182)Turn: : ($2182, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2182)River: : ($2182, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2182)Results:Final pot: $2182Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$106 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $1050UTG+1: $950CO: $2159.50Button: $495.05SB: $2182NoSup4U: $1646Pre-flop: (6 players) NoSup4U is BB with 4 9 UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $35, Button folds, SB raises all-in $2182, NoSup4U folds.Uncalled bets: $2147 returned to SB.Flop: : : : ($2227, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2227)Turn: : ($2227, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2227)River: : ($2227, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2227)Results:Final pot: $2227Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $5/$106 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $965UTG+1: $2159.50CO: $495.05Button: $2227NoSup4U: $1636BB: $1050Pre-flop: (6 players) NoSup4U is SB with 2 A 2 folds, Button raises all-in $2227, NoSup4U folds.Uncalled bets: $2217 returned to Button.Flop: : : : ($2242, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2242)Turn: : ($2242, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2242)River: : ($2242, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $2242)Results:Final pot: $2242Anyway, good times at 5/10NL this morning :)Mark

This theory is so true its comical. Donkeys cannot fold a fullhouse no matter how shi**y it is.

[Jordan 1]

so you're winning again mark!i thought you were busto on ftp? are you being staked or just loaned?glgllg- Jordanps i sat next to you for a minute on ftp but then sat out cuz it didn't look like that great of a game.

Yeah I'm up about $9K since I started winning again, which was last Thursday. I was busto online but Adam loaned me $5K on FTP so I could build up. I have a roll offline so I don't need to be staked quite yet, but another couple bad months and I might have. But I'm rolling again.The 5/10NL games this morning were great, only cause I had gamble4you on my right at both tables. He's the maniac from above. Even though he 4 outer'd me that hand, I just destroyed him the rest of the session and finished even vs him. I was also sitting in 2 3/6NL games. I didn't know any of the players there. Got stacked once playing KK tricky vs a guy who flopped a set, and was up a stack at my other table, so I was even down there. But up $1500 at the 5/10NL tables so I'll take it!I'll play again this afternoon. PM your s/n on tilt so I know who to watch out for/not look like an idiot in front of :)Mark

[Jordan 1]

weee month off to a good start.and it will continue!going to class now and later tonight i'm giong to try and put in 2k more hands and see if i can't really have an explosive first day. already shipped 1.8k today lets make it 3.8k!- Jordan

[TB17 0]

Why didn't anyone tell me it was 3-Bet TB17 day?!During current Hold'em session you were dealt 314 hands and saw flop: - 18 out of 57 times while in big blind (31%) - 9 out of 56 times while in small blind (16%) - 20 out of 201 times in other positions (9%) - a total of 47 out of 314 (14%) Pots won at showdown - 4 of 14 (28%) Pots won without showdown - 18I challenge anyone to play 300 hands at 6max and win less than 20 hands without a showdown!

[TB17 0]

I magically stacked someone at the end, so my afternoon session ended at...-$2.70, yes that's a decimal. I break even good.

[PoppinFresh 0]

fyi, gamble4you is B Buddy, he has legendary tilt sessions but is a strong player when he's playing his A game and was one of the 4 dragons on party
