Nobody like you, so you get lost.

Probably the wrong place, but all said and done in June I lost roughly 20k.
Yea, but as my ex-girlfriend would always ask me, "How much did you win?"

Probably the wrong place, but all said and done in June I lost roughly 20k.
Ugh, sorry Grinder! What stakes are you playing for that kind of slide? Come down to 2/4NL with me and lets rebuild our bankrolls together :)Up $900ish this morning. Played two tables. I've been really focusing on taking notes on players even when I'm not in a hand. I wanted to show an example of how that paid off in a pot for me this morning.So first, I see this hand go down:PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)saw flop|saw showdownBB ($340)UTG ($424)MP ($500.90)Hero ($394)Button ($364.20)SB ($524.65)Preflop: Hero is CO with 2diamond.gif, 7heart.gif. 4 folds, SB raises to $8, BB calls $4.Flop: ($16) 6spade.gif, Kdiamond.gif, 4club.gif(2 players)SB bets $12, BB raises to $40, SB calls $28.Turn: ($96) Qspade.gif(2 players)SB checks, BB checks.River: ($96) Aclub.gif(2 players)SB checks, BB checks.Final Pot: $96Results below: SB has Ts Kc (one pair, kings). BB has Jh Qd (one pair, queens). Outcome: SB wins $96. So I put a comment in the Notes field for the BB: will raise flop with air in blind vs blind war

So the BB is at my other table as well. Within one orbit, the following hand goes down:PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)saw flop|saw showdownNoSup4U ($384)BB ($478.05)UTG ($117.20)MP ($261.50)CO ($392)Button ($456.20)Preflop: NoSup4U is SB with 2diamond.gif, Tdiamond.gif. 4 folds, NoSup4U raises to $12, BB calls $8.Flop: ($24) Aclub.gif, 4heart.gif, 7heart.gif(2 players)NoSup4U bets $16, BB raises to $40, NoSup4U calls $24.So I think there is a good chance the BB is full of it here, based on what I've just seen. But I don't want to rereraise him only to find out he really does have the A. So I decided to call, and check the turn to him to see what he does. If he bets, then I think the jig is up. If not, I think I can steal it.Turn: ($104) Kheart.gif(2 players)NoSup4U checks, BB checks.So I check turn, and he checks behind. Now I'm pretty sure he was just bluff raising me like he seems to like to do, so I think a river bet will take this pot down.River: ($104) Jspade.gif(2 players)NoSup4U bets $75, BB folds.Final Pot: $179Results below: NoSup4U has 2d Td (high card, ace). Outcome: NoSup4U wins $179. Viola! Poker so easy.Mark

Been a rough first week of 200nl HU playjuly04.jpgFinally things starting to go my way though. I seem to be on pace for a 40k+ hand month, so hopefully I can slowly get back to 10ptbb/100 target range and still end up with a nice month.- Jordan

Whee! Had a couple great sessions, up $1000 for the day (at 1/2 NLHE, no less :club: )There was one opponent who was constantly raising my blinds, and I felt frisky (also wanted to establish a LAGGY/ maniac image). There is a three-hand setup that gives me his stack. I am just getting frisky the first hand, but after I showdown air, I decide to use it for image enhancement later on:Hand #1:PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)saw flop|saw showdownMP ($205.60)CO ($252.55)Button ($143.05)SB ($300.50)Hero ($492.25)UTG ($275.30)Preflop: Hero is BB with 6diamond.gif, 8spade.gif. UTG calls $2, 2 folds, Button raises to $6, 1 fold, Hero raises to $18, UTG folds, Button calls $12.Flop: ($39) 5club.gif, 3club.gif, 4heart.gif(2 players)Hero bets $18, Button raises to $50, Hero raises to $412, Button calls $75.05 (All-In).Turn: ($576.05) 6club.gif(2 players, 1 all-in)River: ($576.05) 9diamond.gif(2 players, 1 all-in)Final Pot: $576.05Results below: Hero has 6d 8s (one pair, sixes). Button has 8d 8c (one pair, eights). Outcome: Button wins $289.10. Hero wins $286.95.

Hand #2The Q on the turn made me decide to go for it...PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)saw flop|saw showdownMP ($207.05)CO ($171.55)Button ($382.45)SB ($288.50)Hero ($218.20)UTG ($414.30)Preflop: Hero is BB with Qdiamond.gif, Jdiamond.gif. 3 folds, Button raises to $6, 1 fold, Hero raises to $18, Button calls $12.Flop: ($37) 5spade.gif, 7diamond.gif, Adiamond.gif(2 players)Hero bets $20, Button raises to $60, Hero calls $40.Turn: ($157) Qspade.gif(2 players)Hero checks, Button bets $304.45 (All-In), Hero calls $140.20 (All-In).River: ($601.65) Kdiamond.gif(2 players, 2 all-in)Final Pot: $601.65Results below:Hero has Qd Jd (flush, ace high). Button has 7h Ac (two pair, aces and sevens). Outcome: Hero wins $437.40. Button wins $164.25.EDIT*** I know that was a weak call on the turn: he was guarenteed to have (at least) a big ace, but I was in one of those dangerous *gambool* moods! If I put him on *only* the pair of aces, then I was getting the right price, but that means *conveniently* overlooking the times when he has two pair of the set.

Ok forget that whole being in a good mood thing. I'd just doubled this guy up to 200 with a semi questionable call. This is about 3 hands later:PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)saw flop|saw showdownNoSup4U ($1091.25)BB ($203.80)UTG ($205.50)MP ($593.40)Button ($196.40)Preflop: NoSup4U is SB with 8heart.gif, Qheart.gif. 3 folds, NoSup4U raises to $12, BB raises to $24, NoSup4U calls $12.Flop: ($48) 4spade.gif, Qspade.gif, 8spade.gif(2 players)NoSup4U checks, BB bets $16, NoSup4U raises to $56, BB raises to $179.8, NoSup4U calls $123.80.Turn: ($407.60) 4club.gif(2 players)River: ($407.60) 6diamond.gif(2 players)Final Pot: $407.60Results below: NoSup4U has 8h Qh (two pair, queens and eights).
