mark..it seems like you like to slowplay aces preflop a lot.. i see you either raising with them, or just cold calling raises preflop with them. are you trying to small ball or is it just a rpeference?patrick
Its just the samples I end up posting that are interesting. I 3bet with them 90% of the time. Although I am going to experiment with ratcheting that down some. I think that hand where I got snapped off on the river was good, I just should have put the money in on the turn. My plan was to just raise his continuation bet on the flop, but then I flopped gin and he wasn't likely to have anything so I just called. Then on the turn he fired again so I put him on AK and figured I'd try and look weak.... Then when he hammered the river AGAIN I was like sweet AK for sure....and no. :)Mark

so..i wanna play some quallifies for the moscow millions and european main event.yet i dont wanna play the super sats to the 300 and 500$ main satelittes...so i'm thinking of trying to do this eventually...play 10,000 hands of 200nl HU in two/three days...if I run at 10ptbb/100 that will be $5k and I'd use like half of that to try and qualify.I figure I would need to play ~8 hours a day, if I do this in two days, to get 5k hands...so, if i did three days, i'm guessing it would have to be 5-6 hours...I'd like to try this on a fri/sat...but i dont know if i will.we'll see. i really wanna win another trip/donkament package.- Jordanor i could just keep playing cash games and just buy-in like i'm going to do anyways and not worry about making 5k before...but sigh i'm really not playing a lot of cash games right now...so this could get me going on that front...bleh

Ok, halleluyah! I played some 2/4NL and the play was noticably more attrocious than at 3/6. I think I made $1100 or so. Not up for the day by any means, but still, thats good. I'm less in danger of going busto now.Since I always post hands of me pwning EM2, I'll post one where he pwned me. And since this is the happy thread, obviously I will suck out.

Had an up session today at 2/4NL, +$660 roughly. I'm still down around $2500 overall at 2/4NL, but the sample size is still quite small.June was a good month for me, primarily because of the MTT win for $31k. I also had a couple other final tables and cashes in there, so MTTs were good to me. I think I was down like $500 in cash games, down $1k at 2/4NL and up like $500 at 5/10 LHE on Stars. I also made GoldStar for the first time, but I doubt I'd be able to hit Platinum because my main cash game play is on FT (RB>>>FPPs). I'm gonna try to play more cash games next month, hopefully put in 20k hands or so at 2/4NL.

Ok here are the grissly results for June. I'm up about another $3000 in live play and some bodog that isn't on there, but I've spent $1600 on coaching this month. So not the greatest month, but I'm not negative, which I was worried about being this morning. I haven't had a negative month in a while and don't plan on it.junext7.jpgAlso, I just played till I have 10,002 FPPs on Stars, so I will keep my Platinum status. So at least the last day of the month has been good :)Positive vibes for July!!! I think I need to stay down at 2/4 until I wrap my head better around life as a lagtard. I have sessions with Samo the next two Thursdays, so hopefully by the end of the month I will be feeling really solid about this.Mark

Apparently I turned on the doom switch for me. Got stacked twice in short order on 1/2 on PStars... I was tired and felt steamed, so I quit. I'm playing some live NLHE tomorrow, so hopefully the doom switch can be shut down.I won't post the hands here: don't want to destroy the positive mood in this thread.*Damn doom switch*

If I may ask, what exactly are Sklansky dollars?
