It’s like I never left…

June 1st, 2009

I’ve been playing a bit since the World Series started, I’m dealing it again this year and I just can’t be around that much poker without getting the bug to play myself. Then I remember one of the reasons I stopped in the first place… hands like this just make me fucking sick.

I just ran the numbers on Pokerstove, and I’m an 87% favorite on the first hand, and *only* a 65% favorite on the second; regardless, losing them both and within a few minutes of each other is enough to make me want to punch something. I took several other pretty harsh beats this session but losing these particular hands is just stupid. These are the monster hands you only hit a few times during a session; THESE are the hands that I’m supposed to be raking in big pots with. Instead they end up being my biggest and nearly only significant losses.

The Bad Beat Economy

December 12th, 2008

I won’t be playing any poker - online or off - for the time being. Las Vegas has been hit pretty hard by this economic down-turn, and I was forced to withdraw all of my poker funds to help pay for immediate expenses. I did want to mention that I dealt at Caesar’s in October for their 2008 Caesar’s Palace Classic. It was a good series, with a very respectable turnout for the majority of the tournaments.

As a side note, $2-5 Pot Limit Omaha are by far my least favorite tables to deal to. What a bunch of arrogant assholes that never tip. So I finally get to let them know in writing what I wasn’t allowed to say while dealing: Fuck you, you cocky, impatient, cheap-ass, degenerate rejects.

Whelp, that’s all for me for the time being. I’ll be back posting as soon as I’m able to start playing again.

I Verifiably Run Horrible

October 15th, 2008

So I downloaded a program called PokerEV, which reads through hand histories and gives a comparison of expected value (EV) versus actual results, in all-in hands. According to the program, I’m running 10 buy-ins BELOW expectation for the month of October. That means when I’ve gotten my money all-in, my actual net results are 10 buyins less than they should be profit-wise. It’s fucking sick, but it’s basically just validation for me. I knew I was running abnormally bad, but at least now I can show JUST how bad I am indeed running.

Tournies Suck, Royals Rock

Not doing well at all in tournaments. Haven’t made it particularly deep in any. I’ve still been swingy as hell in cash games, but I did get my 3rd or 4th career online Royal.

Plan B… Hello Donkaments!?

October 5th, 2008

Yeah I’m gonna try my hand at some tournaments over the next week. Started already tonight. I’m running god-awful in cash games (really) and I think maybe with my personality and tilt-threshold, I think that’s a good word for it, tournaments might be a better match for me. I don’t actually go on tilt while I’m playing (I’ve been very good at quitting as soon as I hit my boiling point) … but it’s the emotional drain that just completely sucks the energy out of me when I have a bad night. I play for 2 hours and I’m up 2 buyins, then all of a sudden I get two bad beats on two different tables and I’ve lost all my profit and then some. It’s so incredibly frustrating.

Another important thing is, that with the tournaments I intend to play (all small buyins - $10 or less)… I’m risking very little to potentially win a lot ($10k guaranteed prize pools and such). In cash games, I’m risking my whole buy-in, just for the chance to double-up.

Progress and revamped goal

September 9th, 2008

Well, my PLO goal didn’t last very long. Basically, I just don’t want to endure the swings and more so I don’t want to hurt my bankroll by LEARNING a new game. When I first started playing Hold’em online, I lost A LOT. It took me a lot of learning by losing and a lot of reading (mostly the Harrington on Hold’em books) to finally get to the point where I didn’t suck.

Now that I’ve gotten to the point where I can say I’m “decent” at NLH, I’d much rather tone my skills in a game where I’m not starting from scratch. So with that being said, now onto my progress and some of the more interesting hands so far.

Hands Played: 4,488
Amount Won: $186.25
BB/100: 8.22

Now for some hands:

I don’t think I’ve ever been so completely lost and confused after a hand before:

DeoX calls $1.35, and is all in
filthymind shows [Th Jc]
DeoX shows [Js 8s]
Uncalled bet of $8.15 returned to filthymind
*** RIVER *** [7c 3h Td 9c] [6d]
filthymind shows a pair of Tens
DeoX shows a straight, Jack high
DeoX wins the pot ($26.80) with a straight, Jack high

I don’t mind 3betting with his hand preflop, because it’s well-disguised if he hits, but his amount was way too low and I was obligated to call. He played it horribly on the flop IMO, the useless .25 bet and then calling my raise with just a gutshot. On the turn… because of the preflop action I just could not put him on an 8. I couldn’t put him on anything that beat me on the flop because of his min bet then call play. I figured with any overpair or set he would have either lead out for a real bet, or re-raised me.

—————————————————————–

Big hand for 25nl, and I was kinda unsure how to go about the hand, until the turn hit and it was a foregone conclusion.

Motivation Found, New Goal Set

August 17th, 2008

Through a surprising turn of events, I am now receiving rakeback from Full Tilt. So that has sparked new motivation in me to continue playing on Full Tilt. I’ve set a relatively lofty, though still attainable, goal for myself. I want to make $1,500 in profit in 30 days playing PLO, including rakeback. At the moment, I’m only 4 tabling but I may increase the number of tables as I play more hands and get more comfortable with PLO. I plan to put in at least 20,000 hands in a 30-day period.

I’m looking forward to really going after this new goal and getting back into the poker mode. It’s been a while since I had the time or the desire to put in solid 20k+ hand months.
