Month in review.
So I realized I never really commented on the 24 hr session. I played more or less for the whole day ranging between 4 tables and 8 tables. Ended up about 430$ (+490$ from 25NL and -60$ for 20k BI). Also got about 25k comp points or something. I havent really played much this last week as I've been busy with holiday stuff and work. Didnt make a run for 100k cps and a wii like I had hoped, but I did hit the 50k mark for an ipod.
I cashed out the 450$ I had in wpex... cause wpex was sucking more than ever! So im gonna use that for rent next month I 'spose. Ummmm... fell a little shy of my goal of 2000$ on poker.com at the month, unless you count coupons. I should have about 1800$ on there after bonuses and just over 600$ in coupons. BTW 275$ coupons are useless so I dont know why I keep winning them! LAWL. I played a bit less than I wanted to, so im happy with that result. Im up somewhere between 1000 and 1250$ in 25NL this month, so the BR is looking sort of healthy again. In january I plan to play a fair bit before school starts. Not sure if it'll be on poker.com or if I'll be jumping over to prima. Im basically waiting to see if poker.com has any good january promos that can compete with 60% RB. I'm also sort of tempted to go blow some money on mansion poker's tournaments. Maybe i'll just put a few hundred in there and see how it pans out.
Aside from poker I had a good christmas with the fam. Been working FT through the holiday. I have yet to receive my marks from school, so hopefully I didn't flunk out. Gotta work tommorow (new year's eve) but am snowboarding on new years day and possibly throwing an after party that day.
Also Gill tells me that he wants to play live poker in canada now. I mean it doesn't really make sense to me for him to spend money on a flight out just because the rake in these casinos are better than his.... but w/e. :P But in all seriousness Im sort of eyeing a canadian poker tour event with a 200+25$ buy-in coming up...let you know if I plan to work that in somewhere.
Happy New Years,
Kyle

Time For A Change IMO.
Well, It's finally happened- im actaully sick of playing cash games. Iv'e been playing 50NL for a short while since my bankroll took a hit but the game is just too small now, it's like i don't even care if i win or not, so i'm using these 2 weeks left of the holiday to play donkaments on stars and Ipoker. My target is to get my roll from $2300 or w/e its at right now to $3K+, which i think is easily achieveable as ill be playing a LOT of tournaments (you know me, if i can't 12 table it.. i'm not interested)
Also, some guy is coming to fix the internet tomorrow- FINALLY!!one11!.
Oh, and its new years eve tomorrow so naturally i'm heading to a mates till midnight then going out into town to get really drunk even tho i'm sill recovering from being really ill the past 5 days or so.
Until next time, happy donking!

Hungover ldo
So the 24 hour session didn't quite work out the way it was planned, seeing as I was really hungover that day and was nowhere near able to play poker during the first half of the 24 hours. When I finally managed to get some hands in, I deffo had a +ev session. Played 2,500 hands of 200NL at full tilt and ended up 1100$. Many of the hands were complete lollerskates, like when I stacked a guy who had 33 unimproved when I held top two and the level of play was really awful from a lot of the opponents. Maybe I should start playing more cash games?
Neways, celebrating Christmas with friends and relatives has taken up a lot of my time these last few days so I haven't played much. I'm still hungover from yesterday, so unlikely i'll play much today.
My little brother got 3 seasons of The Wire for xmas, and we've already watched season 1. Awesome show imo, so prolly gonna go watch the other two seasons now after I take a massive dump.
later...

Weeeeee 24 hours
Well, after 24 hours i finished +$200, but i made $300 in RB which i means i actually made a loss of $100 from actual grinding :|
I looked @ my PT graph and it made me sick so i deleted it, and then deleted poker tracker :P
Roll is $2400 or something stupid so im playing 50NL till i hit 4k then going straight to 1-2, 100NL is teh suck. I actually thought about playing donkaments for a short while.. but i came to my senses pretty quickly.
Iv'e been thinking a lot recently about money and poker, and i'm turning over around $30+ an hour playing 6 tables of 50NL so why should i be so worried about moving up and playing 1-2 or w/e.. if i got a job i'd only be making like $10-12, so meh grinding 50NL aint that bad..
Gonna start grinding again tomorrow no doubt, if i get bored of call of duty 4 and my new double bass pedal that is :D

Burning out.
Play badly today... and I do mean badly. Mostly due to burnout and not being able to pay attention. Also I didn't run great as I had quite a few big hands cracked. Also ran KK into 88 on a K88xx board, that was fun...oh wait no it wasn't.
Anyways guess it was bound to happen, had my first losing session at these tables... roll is now 1130$. Comp points at 33.5k.
Tommorow is our 24 hour session, I appoligize to chris and blue if I dont log on by 6 o'clock. I gotta close at work tonight. But I will definately do my best to be on the computer by 6 am. I'll definately be playing for 24 hours straight even if I miss the start by an hour or 2 tho.
Also I plan to play the 20k and the 10k tommorow. I think if I can get over 55k cps tommorow i'll have a realistic shot at 100k.

Quick update.
p.com balance is 1180$, cps in december are at 27,000. Haven't been running as good as I was.
I still think 2000$ and 100,000 comp points are both attainable by the end of the month.

Finally!
Finally iv'e started running good after losing all those buyins and taking all that abuse..
No wait, i'm kidding again.
Roll= $2520, im running worse than ever and making mistakes now so im moving back down to 50NL, and i think ill just make 30 buyins there and go straight to 1-2. I have nightmares about 100NL now.
On another note, its 7am and i havn't been to sleep yet and i have a 3 hour exam in 2 hours, and im down 10 buyins overnight! so yeah, naturally i feel erm.. "absolutley fucking awful"
But at least its xmas soon? :|

It's a celebration, bitches!
Wee finally finished my exams today. Fink they all went alreet, the last one maybe not so good, but prolly gonna pass. Obv I'm jinxing myself by saying this =/
Prolly didn't sleep more than 1 1/2 hour last nite, but that's ok cause I had some catching up to do and I don't sleep much anyways. Played 4 sngs (lol) too, winnar in two and one 2nd so a goot minisession at stars for once.
Tonite i'm oot celebrating, going to the dodgiest boozer in town ftw. Travelling back to my parents gaff for Christmas on Thursday, so this is prolly my last blog entry before I get home to good ole Haugesund.

I is behind on my playing
Finals are done, but I went out partying a bunch of nights after that so I havent played a lot. I did get in 1500 or so hands tonight though, just some 25NL, ended up 4 BIs or something. So my roll is at about 1500$ now and 1050ish on poker.com. I still think getting to 2000 on PDC by end of december is a very realistic goal, will have to play a bunch tho, which may be hard as im working fulltime now...meh i'll get 'er done. Only at 12k cps this month.... I probs missed out on all the prizes in the scavenger hunt, but i dunno maybe theres still some nanos out there.
Played pretty well tonight. Think I ran alright as well, I dunno... I had a couple of coolers and I missed a lot of draws, but I did win a bunch of 2:1 situations in big pots so Im not really sure if I was running good or not. This seems about average for me at 25NL on PDC, but my sample size is small. Ive been avg about 3-4 buyins per 1000 hands. Which I believe works out to +15-20 BB/100, which is good. Not pepeman running good obv, but still good :P.
Key hand of the night was when I had 66. Flop came Qh6x4h. I checked, there was a big bet and a call. Pretty much knew what they had at that moment so I raised and I raised pretty large, cause they werent going anywhere. Original better flat called, which I liked cause that meant he probably didnt have QQ and he did have AA or KK, other guy called as well of course cause he had a very obvious flush draw and was short. 4 On the turn and I knew I was winning a big one, got the other guy in on the turn (KK) and dodged the 2 outter for an 100$ pot or so. KK guy telegraphed that he had a premium hand and thats not a good thing when ur deep (he had nearly 2 BIs).
Also won a big one with quack quack quack quackers (quad 2s). Lost a big one with 3 purr vs 4444, and with AK vs QQ on AQx.
Biggest mistake of the night was donating a whole bunch with 2 purr (aces and fours) to a set of fours. Felt compelled to pay him off there cause I thought he might be one of the really donkish 25NL players that plays AQ/AK really passively and floats a missed flop with it only to go huge on the turn when they hit their ace. I definately knew he wasnt bluffing or anything, but thought he may play AK/AQ like that, since limp-calling preflop and floating missed flops isn't that uncommon for the tables I was playing. Anyways risk prolly wasnt worth the reward there, and I probably shouldve tossed it. I also missed some value with TTT88 > 888TT...he would've called the AI and I only bet 1/3 his stack, oh well.
There was one really strange hand where I paid off a 2nd pair quite huge on the river. The hand was really strange and I think he may have actually been trying to bluff me on the river, but he had the best hand..... so I guess it turned into a really good value bet :p TBH I don't know wth went on in that hand. I really thought he was spewing with king high lol.

I run good.
No, i don't.
Ran my roll upto 4500 and got excited about hitting 5k so i could play 200NL.
Needless to say, variance slapped me round the face and i lost 14 buyins to a sexy string of bad beats, coolers, cold cards etc etc etc, as per usual for me every 10 days or so. So now i have to play solid for 2 weeks just to play enough hands before i realise i suck and can't beat 100NL.
roll= 3100. fuck.

Running like crap on Stars, goot on Full Tilt
For whatever reason, i seem to just lose lately on stars. 8 tabled 100PLO, and ended down 2 buyins obv. And it's been like that lately. Got AAJxss in preflop vs KQT9os and some other stupid stuff. Was deffo outplayed in many of my allins :P Atleast this session, I didn't play that bad, but stupid beats by some ridiculous hands put me down for the day.
Obv play some turbos on FTP and make it all back and then some, so I guess I should just focus on playing turbos there 'till we play the 24 hr session?
Other notes:
Finished 2 outta 3 exams. Did alreet, fink im passing both. However the last one is horrible, and I gotta focus on it till the 18th, so I pass this one too.
Went to a Christmas dinner with my classmates, got ridulously drunk and tried some bold, aggressive moves to get to bed with the hottest chick from my class, but they weren't rewarded. The sausage stand was closed.
Stallowned =/

Grindddd
Just wound down from a 14 hour session chasing the weeks 10 buyin downswing. Finished +1100, bringing my roll to around 4100 or so which im pretty happy with, i just wish i could consistantly win instead of losing or making crazy amounts of buyins in such short periods of time..
My internet is still running good.. which is good timing because i applied for lots of jobs which are taking people on but no1 wants to hire a lazy, inexperienced, poker degenerate so i guess while im at uni ill just have to stick to what i do best...losing or making crazy amounts of buyins in such short periods of time :)
Also, the 24 hour session should hopefully take place 1pm uk time 23rd december- 1pm 24th december. After today's 14 hour session, i'm looking forward to it :)

Internet working! i think
So yeah, i'm back and i played some hands and you can tell from looking at my profit graph, i'm down 6 buyins in like, 2k hands? :)
Decided im gonna do the 24 hour session @50NL because its gonna be -EV playing so many hands without sleep, so i may aswell do it @ a level where i don't need to think too much so i can go into bot mode and play while i sleep.
Date+time still not confirmed, but nevertheless, i'm looking forward to it...20 buyins @50NL would be a nice xmas present, kthx

FINALS = -eV
Alright just a quick post here...sorry no poker content really.
I have 5 finals from monday through tuesday and I am super stressed out. Also its not helping htat I had to pull 2 all nighters the past week to finish my term project. Im pretty sure if anyone actually tried to build the plant I designed for this that it would probably explode....meh whatever I wont fail that class, so i dont really care. Group member- "wait a second you're using a direct fire heater to heat the methanol...isn't methanol like highly flammable or something?" me- "Too late now! weeeeeeeeeee!" Probably get a C or something and be happy with it.
Looks like i'll be working overtime over christmas, as like all but 3 of us at work have gone home for the holidays.
With that being said I have set a goal to bring my PDC account to 2000$ through dec. 13 to the new year. It currently sits at 850$ or so. I plan on doing this by exclusively playing 25NL to 100NL. Seems like a realistic goal since I will be working a bunch on top of that and it will be difficult to log hours upon hours at poker. Dont think i'll play wpex much, they really dont have many tables running now a days.
Also I find it amusing how a couple of my posts just disappeared in the forum after pointing out some flaws/exploitation possibilities with the current promotion :P. Sucks that they are changing terms mid-promotion, but I will likely stay at pdc for this month at least. I dunno might goto prima still... depends on where I think I can make the most profit without risking much.

LOL omaha donkaments
Played a 10$ rebuy omaha tournament today on FTP. 90 players entered and the rebuy hour was even crazier than the usual hold em rebuy tourneys. Got a decent stack and think I was about 3rd after the first break. Don't think I played optimally, but made it to the final table obv.
Came in 5/9 or summat and played fairly patient until we got to 4 handed. Started playing aggromonkey, laid out some bad beats, got berated in the chat and won obv.
Ship the 750$ :p

Short sessions ftw.
Alright... so I have a new routine where I spend about 14 hours straight at school and come home and play about an hour of poker :). I've played a total of 3.5 hours in the last 3 days (not including the 20k - where I was multi tasking that with group work at school) but I'm up about 8 buy ins. It is only 25NL, but I am obv running goot. I'm pretty sure that 50$/hr at 25NL is unsustainable.
Tonight me and 'froliche' (sp?) took turns dealing each other coolers, AA vs KK, AA vs QQ, KK vs QQ, obv all in blind battles :P. I think I probably got the better of it, cause he didnt have a full buyin on the 2 that he won.
I dont really have much to comment on other than post flop play has been pretty hideous at the tables ive been at. Like I dont think it matters what I bet, a min bet is treated the same as a 2x pot bet a lot of the time. So ive reduced my playing style to a "over betting, telegraphing all my hands, nitty fish" and that seems to be working out. I counter becoming bored by playing as many tables as I can!
But as I said I have been running well, and I did suck out and won a 2 buy in pot tonight with 5c6c, flop was 248 with 2 clubs. I had raised preflop after a couple of limpers and on the flop I was facing a very small bet and a call, so of course I had to raise. Initial better made a large 3bet (guess he got his set - I was like 95% sure). Anyways I'm almost positive I had the pot odds to call it as I was almost getting 2:1 and I think I am better than that here, although I didnt work it out completely, cause I was 8 tabling. Anyways he flipped over 22, I didn't watch the hand out but when I looked back I saw I had a big stack, so I guess I won it. Ship it.

Played a short session tonight.
Probably the first time ive played in weeks that is worthy of the term 'session', as i probably logged about 1000 hands or so....which is still a small session. Anyways as ive posted earlier I really havent been logging much time at all in poker, due to finals and term projects being due. I plan on concentrating on poker after the 13th. I cashed a bunch of money out, so i'll probably be rebuilding for a bit, might take some shots in some larger buy in tourneys, but for cash tables probably just grinding 25 or 50NL for awhile. The roll sits at about 1200$ I think.
Anyways I 8 tabled 25NL for probably 90-120 min tonight. Got off to a bad start dropping 3 buy ins or so, had about 8 really good drawing hands in that time... none of which hit. Also had a couple of mini coolers like AQ vs AK on Axx flop and lost a couple of flips against medium stacks (AK vs TT ect). Got stacked on one table when I raised preflop with 7s8s and the flop was 3sTsJc, when he raised me he didnt seem plus i figured he'd probably put me on a hand since I had shown a lot of strength so I pushed, he obv called with QJ (no spade) without much thought and I lost that flip. Anyways I was probably tilting a tad at this point and making a couple of marginal (at best) plays. This is when Gill started talking to me on msn and told me to quit playing, I told him that I dont log losing sessions and he was like standard, or whatever he usually says... I wasnt paying too much attention cause I had 8 tables to tilt at! ;)
Anyways I calmed down a bit and readjusted my strategy for these 25NL tables. Which basically meant less value calls, exploiting limpers more and tightening up my cbets. Anyways I started to run good at this point. I had 77 vs AK on a 7AK flop and I had 94 on a 94TA4 board where the river made my opponents flush. Also won a couple of 2:1 situations against medium stacks when I raised and they went over the top. (ie: KK vs AJ ect). Ended the session +2buyins ($50), felt good about my game on the whole, did make a couple of mistakes and a few of them were from 8 tabling and msning at the same time.
So again I wont be playing much until the 13th, at which point i'll be rebuilding mostly...nothing too exciting, might play a grand final here or a 20k there. Me, Blue and Gill will almost certainly be playing a 24 hr session at some point in december...more details to come later, Im undecided if I want to do that at prima or at poker.com. I would get 60% rakeback on prima, but poker.com's current promo (scavenger hunt) plus the reload bonus is probably about par with that. Prima offers poker office support though, so im not really sure. I would play it at wpex but theres only ever like 2 tables going at wpex :P. Gill is probably a shoe in for most hands played, as he can like 12 table for long lengths of time. I tend to get burnt out 8 tabling after a few hours. I dont think blue is as big a multi-tabler as gill is either, but I could be wrong with that. Blue is more into tournaments anyways.
Oh almost forgot, I didnt bother with the turkey day sng thing...I see it was a nice jackpot and wouldve been defn +eV to qualify, but I had more important things (school) to do this week so I didnt bother qualifying for it. Also I was supposed to work today so I thought I had a time conflict anyways. Luckily I got it off and was able to get a bunch of my term project done.
Cheers,
Kyle

Overlay, baby!
SO I decided to play the 100+9 deepstack "tourney" on poker.com today. I say "tourney" cause it's really more of a 2-table sit n go, but with overlay. +EV!
18 players signed up, and they payouts were 1250/750/500 to 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Started off playing really tight and picked up some decent pots here and there (got QQ in vs T2s preflop all in at one point) and then doubled up twice in some big pots. Had AA > KK ftw and made a speculative play by raising K7 on the button, and big blind just called. Flop came J77, I fired 2/3 of the pot and the BB CRAI. Snap call of course and BB flips KK! That's not a cooler I don't think :p
Came in to the "final table" with a huge chiplead and played fairly aggressive and stole a lot of blinds. On the bubble I raised a lot and was pot committed to call shortstack's push when I held 43o vs his KQo. I flopped a purr and rivered trips ftw and was in the money, still with a huge chip advantage.
Guy on my smallblind was a folding station and gave me numerous walks, which was nice, and the other guy I had tagged as a huge fish from previous encounters. Needless to say, I felt pretty confident about taking this down, and obv I did :)
Final hand I raised pre with Q7, BB flatted and autopushed the flop which was A Q x. His push was a massive overbet for atleast 2.5x the pot and something didn't look right judging by this player's previous tendencies. I tanked and finally called. Of course it was good! BB showed KT for the gutshot and overglard and turn/river were blanks. 1139$ profit is obv a nice way to end november.
Roll is now ~12K. Might withdraw some before Christmas tho, so I have some drinking money available...

AGagahgahg ag internet
My internet is running bad, in fact it's so bad i havn't been able to play poker for more than 10 minutes without it cutting out + timing out during a 220BB pot with the nuts is no fun without DP. Iv'e even had to type out this blog post twice because of it.
Anyway, until it gets sorted, i can't really play much if at all but i ran my roll upto around $3800 or so which is more than i had before one of my famous half roll downswings! :)
Also, us bloggers are gonna be playing a 24 hour cash game session at some point during mid-december, check out the poker.com forum for a post closer to the time, and feel free to offer us prop bets IE, if we can finish, how many hands can I play (fitz and blue have no chance :P), how much $$$ i can make/lose, how long i can go without running to the toilet etc etc.

End of month spew
Aye aye time to round off November, as i'm going be too busy studying for my exams to log many hours for a while. Was a +ev month due to a goot cash in the Sunday Warmup and some alreet Omaha and turbos sng sessions, but i still suck at holdem cashgames obv :P
Before going to sleep tonight, i played ~1k hands while 6tabling (mostly 100nl and one/two 200nl tables) and sucking. Started off goot, up a buyin after a few hands after flopping top two vs tptk and it held up. Obv i'm not Gill.
Proceeded to play decent and winning, until around hand 400 where I 3bet JTs from the smallblind when button raised and 2barreled air and got called down by his QQ. It mostly went downhill from there, and I dunno why I even bother trying to play NLHE cash games =/
Atleast I cut my losses and only ended down 200$...

Havent really been playing.
Havent played in a week or more aside from the forum games at p.com, which ive been running terrible in. I have a lot of stuff going on with school right now and I wouldnt really be looking for me to play or to update with any poker content here until mid-dec, I should start longing a bunch of hours then.
I have however been playing the forum werewolf game at poker.com in 'the lobby' section of the forum. I wont really go into too much detail about it since its against policy to write about strats anywhere except for in that thread. But go over and check it out, its sort of neat, but please refrain from posting in the exact thread if you're not playing the game. I think most good poker players would be good at this game since it has a lot to do with thinking levels and such. Ie: he knows, but I know he knows and I dont think that he knows that I know that he knows.

Meh omaha
Finally managed to log 1k hands of omaha in one night, but ended down like 300$. Lots of action, lots of rigged hands and lots of spewing ftl...Might dig up some hand histories later, but can't be arsed wiv it right now.
Other events: Norway and Inglund got knocked out of the Euro's, so Gilly and I were obv pissed on wednesday but oh well. Guess it could be worse.
That rascal Gill introduced me to Solitaire. I've actually never played it before this week (wtf :D), and now i'm hooked haha. Damn you!
Going out to a party tomorrow. Prolly will come home somewhat lashed, play some pokurr and blog about Saturdays events I'm sure of it.

Unmotivated
Iv'e played like.. 300 hands in the past 2 or 3 days? :)
But i'm still up like 3 buyins at 100NL, bringin my roll to a lil over 3k so it's not all bad :D
Had some personal stuff bothering me which needed sorting plus some uni work to do, but now that that's outta the way, i can get back to grinding thousands of hands in such short periods of time! How Exciting!

Wow I must really hate money.
Caribbean stud FTW anyone? I dont usually gamble on these side games, but when I do watch out! This one seems pretty favorable to the house even if I were playing optimal, which im sure I wasn't. Are you supposed to bet with ace high? probs not.
On a positive note I was 1 card away from a str8 flush on a jackpot bet. (Ur always 1 away damnit!) That 60k jackpot was just too tempting... im sure I was still massively -eV playing this game tho, so Im an idiot.
Oh and I just got sent free money from mansion and absolute cause I havent played there in awhile! Anyone want 10$ to play with in absolute? I have no intention of using it, maybe i'll just play some flipaments until I hit 50 or bust. Will probably play a satelite or 2 with the mansion 25$ they sent me. I've been meaning to deposit there anyways. Will probably toss in 300-400 when I lose this 25$.
Played some more turkey rooms, which made up for some of the lost money in side games. It's gonna be harder than I thought to get into the top 100 since i really dont play much and sngs tend to make me angry. Also I seem to be overthinking these rooms a little.
Example:
I don't remember the exact number but the stacks are something like 3k,3.5k,4.5k, 800 with blinds at 150/300 (I have the big stack). Top 3 paid.
3k is in the BB and 3.5k limps the button, so naturally I push with 93os or something. I end up getting called by ATos??? WTF?? So obv im massively overthinking what these players are capable of. Don't really want to work out the math but his call is a really really bad here given the chip stacks, I could probably turn up my 93 and it would still be a bad call if he calls :P. Since I think he needs something close to 75% chance of winning to make this a +eV call (because of the stack sizes and payout structure). My push was probably also bad since I was thinking a few levels past this guy, thought he was smart enough to fold 100% of the cards he limped, thats why I did it. Anyways that didn't make me happy to say the least. Of course the shortie doubles up the next hand and I End up finishing 4th and bubbling.... cause thats just what always happens.
If your chances of cashing in a sng are very high you really want a LOT of chip equity if you're going to put your tourney at risk. Cards become far less important in some of these bubble situations, the relations of stack sizes and fold equity becomes far more important. Basically if theres a short stack on the bubble the big stack should be shoving the medium stacks with pretty much anything and the medium stacks should almost never be calling. In theory anyways :P.
Also there were just some blatantly bad plays on some of my other sngs. Dunno what some of these people are thinking, for instance, we were 3 handed (top 2 paid) with blinds at 50/100 and everyone was pretty much even (im slightly the big stack). guy opens button for 400 I shove with AQ. And He calls 1500 more with QTo. TTJKJ board, nice of PDC to give me the false hope of turning the str8 tho. "well played sir". This hand goes back to the "if ur gonna call, why not shove in the first place?" Also if he thought I was capable of 3 betting that weak that he could jusitfy a call he should've just folded outright in the first place and waited for a better hand. Whatever. Obv didn't tap the tank with any of these guys, but these sngs make me frustrated because of these reasons.
I should really just stick to HU sngs, since I seem to do really well in those. Although when I play 4 or more of those I defn notice that Im not paying enough attention and I think I miss a lot of value from them. My rating for the night would be a 'B->B+' but since I blew a bunch of monies on side games it is now an F.
Remember to stay away from side games!
Cya later!

Happy birthday to me :D
So I turned 22 today, and I have a splitting headache from last night haha. I had this plan where I wasn't going to drink a lot because I have school today, but am I really supposed to pass up on free shots? It was just a small get together, maybe 7 or 8 people and we just went to the bar where I work...which wasn't the smartest idea since that ended up with more binge drinking and free beers. Anyways it was fun times, one of my friends from Queens was able to come out which was cool, he was in town for his convocation. So today I have to write my groups chem report, which isn't going to be fun because I just want to sleep.
As for poker, I haven't really been playing a lot at all. Played some turkey jackpot rooms one day, which was pretty uneventful, I was ontop of the leaderboard briefly but I havent played since that one day so im starting to slip out of the top 100, i'll probably just slip into the qualifier closer to the end of the month. Been awhile since ive played SnGs and the play seemed to be a little crazier than the mtts I usually play, so I had to make a few adjustments. I did end the session slightly in the green.
I also played a couple hours of 100NL. The 6 handed game I was in was pretty ideal. It was very loose passive, and had a very predictable guy with 400BBs. Only problem was he was hitting everything. I really played a pretty boring mindless game here because the other players were so soft. I changed my style to pretty tight aggressive, and I also overbet everytime I hit because they didn't really fold. Anyways made about a buy in in this game. Here's a somewhat interesting hand vs the big stack:
Hero has: AQ
villain limps in.
Hero raises to 7$
villain calls.
Flop: As6h5h
Hero bets 12$
Villain calls.
Turn: 6c
Hero bets 40$
Villain calls.
River: 7h
Hero Checks
Villain bets 16$
Hero Calls.
Villain shows Kh4h, king high flush.
I think in hindsight I really shouldve made a value bet on the river and folded to his raise. I was also almost certain he hit his draw on the river, but can I really fold for 16$ in this pot? Anyways I dont mind how I played this hand, I definately outpriced the flush on the turn and he didnt really take me to valuetown on the river when he hit it.

Accounting> Poker
Ugh played so bad today and yesterday and some how i'm only down 1 or 2 buyins. I called off my stack with bottom pair in a re raised pot, i shoved a baby flush draw on a paired board with no fold equity.. i 4 bet shoved vs a super nit preflop with JJ.... i float every single pot i play in, in OR out of position.. and yahhh you get the idea.
But at least my course is going better this year?
I failed my course last year, well 40% of it so this year i gotta catch up being a part-time student. 6 hours a week of uni and no job FTW! (hence me logging so many hands recently). This year i understand everything, partially because i'm far too unsociable and quiet to talk to anyone except myself so i have nothing to distract me and partially because iv'e realised i only need to sleep 5 hours a night so have time for work AND poker, +EV i'm sure of it.
Anyway, Roll is around $2500-$2600 i think and ill probs move up to 100NL @ $3000 or maybe before. Until then, ill anooy fitz until he updates about something interesting because my posts suck.

Steady Away.
Dowswing finished at $1850, on my way back up grinding 50NL @ prima network. Running ok, playing better, making $$$. Roll just hit around $2250.
So yeah, nothing else interesting happened in the past couple days, im just logging lots of hands because i'm going out a lot more so need the money and i'm far, far, far too lazy to go work at tesco.
3500 hands= +$400.
Ship

Meeeeeeeeeeh
Played a couple donkaments, the 69+6 14,5k on ftp and a 11r on stars. Obv I finished just outside the final tables of both. Got 180$ for a 14th finish in the 69+6 when my 77 ran into 66 obv hail satan appeared on the turn and I was out. The 11r was a grind for over 6 hours just to make a silly late position push and run into bb's 88 and i'm out in 15th for 337$. 1st paid almost 12k, so obv not happy about busting so close to the big bucks =/
Also played this forum league thingy we have over at poker.com and won it, but that's more about glory than money, so i'm still a bit meeeeeeh about today.
Anyways, tomorrow i'm getting on the train to Oslo, baby. Norwegian cup final here I come! Gonna be loads of drunks from my hometown tearing up the capital this weekend i'm sure of it. Clearly our 1st division side are huge overdogs over 4th place finishers in the Norwegian Premier League Lillestrøm.
I predict Haugesund 1 Lillestrøm 0 :D
Oh well, even if we get battered i'm sure it will be a great time. I'll be back on Monday for more bloggaments. Laters...

Too lazy I'm sure of it
Meh, what is this? First I overslept to uni and only made the 2nd lesson (obv not the first time) and the proceed to doze off all day working very ineffective on some shit we were supposed to hand in by midnight. Finally got some mediocre shit done and could play some poker after that.
Loaded up 5 100PLO fullring tables and logged 500 hands =/ Ended up 1 buyin, despite losing a flip and think I played fairly decent tonite. Took down a lot of small pots and got some thin value out of two pair, top purr top kicker (and even worse) hands in spots where I'm probably way too nitty at times. People don't always have nizzles in Omaha, and it's probably a leak to let go too easily of decent hands in certain spots.
Goal: Don't be lazy, log more hands, improve postflop play ---> profit

Ugh..
Roll $2150, back to a full-time grind @50NL. I'm moving to the prima network from party just to make a nice change. I'm feeling pretty good about my game and i can't see any glaring errors from looking at HH's so ill just ride out the variance and hope to make $$$$$$ ASAP. Hoping to be a 1-2 regular by the end of this year.

Goal: Get better at Omaha
Obv had some fun playing Omaha today. Full ring tables were filled with pretty bad players, myself included, and is a potential goldmine if I improve my game. I especially suck at SH omaha, which is where most of the action is nowadays. Prolly gonna read some articles/books on Omaha and keep playing atleast once a week. It kinda sucks that I got banned from 2+2 after drunken ramblings, cause they have some goot posters there.
Anyways, biggest pot of the day:

Villain was very aggressive and I caught a good flop, but didn't wanna overcommit myself so I just called the flop bet. Turn is obv rigged and gives us both top two, him an OESD and me the nut flush draw. River was came and brought the flush. It helps to run better than Gill I'm sure of it...

Weeeeee variance
Ok my roll hit $2200, so its defo time to move back to 50NL and ride out the rest of this downswing. Will move back up once i hit $2500 or so. Hoping to get a live poker roll going so i can play more at the local casino, $$$$$$$ or ££££ should i say.
I have no idea where fitz is.
I have no idea where fitz is.
Inevitable.
Yeah, i dropped 7 buyins today and yesterday without even playing bad!
Roll dropps to $2750 so i was considering moving down but i just can't do it because the players at party 100NL are equally bad as 50NL so i can't let them keep their hard earned money.
The things i need to work on are:
1. Stop calling with 97s when shorty pushes for 20BB. lol gambollll
2. Stop trying to take people off top pair, whatever the board.
3. Stop playing tricky against idiots and just play standard, non trappy basic poker because i'm just outplaying myself and opponents are too retarded to realise what i'm repping and call me down with TPNK.
4. C-bet a lot less. Party 100NL is incredibly loose passive so naturally my C-bets and futher bets are being called down super light so i need to bluff less and value bet more.
5. I need to rememeber to laugh at the guy that checks it down with AQ on a QQQ flop vs my JJ and wins a $15 pot when it could have been a lot bigger if he raised the flop.
Basically, the reason i'm down 7 buyins is due to me C-betting and bluffing far too much vs fish and repping stuff that they don't even see. Plus i'm not very good at making pairs and hitting draws.
I now realise why i love variance. It WILL take 10 years off my life.

Tournament Sunday weeee
Woke up around 1 pm, feeling a bit rusty from last night. I dunno why, but it seems I've stopped playing when drunk, which is nice and probably +ev. Got some food and went for a walk to get some fresh air and get rid of the hang over. I should take more Sunday walks obv, as it helped quite a bit. Got back home and decided to play donkaments, in a night that mostly consisted of missed opportunities.
FT'd a 20/180 on stars, but obv got a shitty 9th after pushing 99 over utg limper's AA. Played two sats to the ftp 750k and a double shootout to the Sunday Million, so I got in cheap in both tournaments. However both tourneys went fairly shitty when I managed to run into AA again in the sunday million and set over set in the 750k. Meh...
Only thing left to play was the 20k teed on poker.com. It started earlier than I tought it did, so when I logged in I had already blinded down for about 50 minutes, so I was fairly shortstacked. I managed to play a goot All in or Fold strategy, pushing over some weak limpers in a few spots and got my stack up again. Blinds go up fairly quickly in this tourney, and with the added antes pots are really worth stealing during the middle stages. My table was very passive so I got to push in with marginal holdings quite often (mostly from late position tho) and stayed alive that way. Close to the bubble I won a big hand with AK > AQ and A8 and ITM I was 3/30 I'm sure of it. However blinds got really high and people started gambooooling a lot more, so there wasn't much wiggle room. Made a loose call with 88 when the table nit pushed 5bbs ( I had around 9, and was far from the shortstack. I blame the structure ), and she obv had QQ. Flop came T97, so I had some outs but whiffed turn and river and was left with 12k at the 1500-3000 +150. Pushed KQ when folded to me in HJ, but CO had AK and I was out in 16th place for 200$. First place is 5400$ and I felt I had a good shot at it, so a bit pissed off at myself now, but that's variance I suppose...

100NL PT2
Q: I don't get rakeback at party, i don't get any decent reload bonusus, the tourney schedule is terrible, the sng structure sucks.. so why do i play there?
A: Because the players are the biggest bunch of spewtards iv'e/i will ever see.
I'm up 11 buyins @100NL after only 5500 hands, a whopping 10BB/100 which after looking through hand history's and laughing away, i'm beginning to think is sustainable. I'm starting to wonder why i ever played elsewhere when people can't wait to stack off with TPNK vs my middle set for 1.5BI's. I'd urge any readers that like money to play at party, but i don't want any competition, so plz stay where you are. I ran bad yesterday and still finished +3 buyins because people give me odds when i want to draw, pay me when i flop sets and turn their hands face up when in a pot vs me. Expect to be playing 1-2 by the end of the month.
I <3 party donks.

Goot cash today
aye aye
Played some donkaments today. Gill has no money on FTP so I staked him for a 24+2 tourney that we both got stallowned in (Gill obv more than me, he busted after like 5 hands. Baller!! ). Played two other 50+5 tourneys, one on stars and one of ftp. I was doing alreet in the stars tourney, but lost to something stupid and cashed for 110$ or whatever.
The FTP tourney on the other hand went a lot smoother. After struggling to survive 3/4 of the tourney I got a couple double ups with KK vs 45s and then 55 vs A7 and I was back on track. Made the final table and I think I played pretty well most of the time, made some good re-steals and also picked up some nice hands. It's deffo +ev to run goot at final tables. After about one hour of play, I ended up HU with some guy who I couldn't bluff of trip 6's and that pretty much ended the tournament right there. I guess my timing was a little bit off in this hand:

4NL madness and then some...
Obv the 3 bloggers all had to play some 4NL all in every hand last night, and what a +ev session it was! Gill started off best and was up 5-6 buyins, while me and fiend were down a couple. The the hand that changed the whole table dynamics came: Gill moves in for 22$ with K6o, some other random guy is in with KJ, I'm in the BB and feel pot committed with my 32o and make the valuecall. Flop is 422 and my hand holds up. After this hand I completely pwn every all in and get up to 50$ ++. 1250 BB is hardcore! Some of the hands were against pokerfiend ( nitty Gill quit after 32o stallownage ) where he supposedly "dominated" me with 75o vs 45s and 86s vs 85o. Little did he know i was thinking on the 66th level and knew what board would come and I took some more chippoes while he cried cause he couldn't play with his last penny =/ Got badbeated a couple hands in a row and left with ~30$. Ship it!
One lass from my class ( hey, that rhymed! ) also plays poker, so a last longer bet was obv gonna happen in the 4/180s on Stars. I played bad, but she busted early and now owes me a pint when we're oot on the sauce tomorrow. Ship it!
Also played some on BetSafe and ended up 400$, can't remember how, but who cares? Ship it!
Today I was doing fairly well in a 13,5k teed on FTP, but losing a flip and then having to move in with A3 vs KK is teh suck so I ended up 32nd for a massive 57$. Ship it!
Played some random stuff like an Omaha 8/B tourney that I've somehow FT'd before, but tonight was really bad. Suck it!
WHat to do now? Obv can't sleep...
Youporn ftw?

Aye aye bawbags
bluelips finally makes his appearance!
I finally got my internet working over here at my new gaff. Been a couple months with not much poker being played, but atleast I've been getting drunk a lot. Hi 5!
Now I'm probably going back to the degenerate ways of playing poker till early morning. My studies won't suffer from this, I'm sure of it.
Last week was filled with heavy boozing Norway style, but unfortunately I got really pissed (off) on Friday and slagged some of the people in my class off, but everyfing seems to be alreet now. No more angry bluelips i'm sure of it.
As far as poker content goes, I obv played my fair share last nite and didn't sleep until 7.am. Obv very tired bluelips shows up late in class, but managed to make it through the day. Last night's session was very neutral EV, and I wasn't very pleased with being up a massive 12$ =/

Dealing>Playing
Why can't i play tight?
Headed over to liverpool on saturday to play the live game going on and obv went busto after around 15 hands because the blinds and levels were huge compared to starting stacks so i instantly went into hyper-agressive-lagtard- playing my usual 50NL game mode. C-betted a few pots and stole a few blinds to build my stack up before donating to the gutterball with 88 on a 5567 board to the nut straight after potting the flop in position- STANDARD. Got my last few BB's in with 84 and managed to make a qualifying low hand, obv no good in this game. Spent the rest of my time dealing, which i seem to do better than playing. Dealer school here i come?
Oh yeah, i lost a buyin too online because my internet sucks.
And where is bluelips?

Drunken escapades
Sorry in advance for the lack of poker content in this post. I'm coming off probably the shittiest week i've ever had in school, which was capped off yesterday with a midterm presentation of our design project. This was located in a conference room in front of 5 profs. I was actually at school for 30 hours straight on tuesday-wednesday morning finishing this report with my group.
Now I guess these profs enjoy pushing students, who are already ready to snap from this week, right over the edge. Apparently a couple of the girls in my class came out of the room in tears. However, I think that our presentation went well, and I thought we handled the onslaught of questions pretty good. Our project is to design a 1000bbl/day biodiesel plant in canada. From what I understand biodiesel is pretty big in Europe, and the US to some extent, but pretty much non-existant in Canada.
Anyways after this some celebration was in order and a large amount of alcohol was to be consumed. Needless to say I am waking up to a killer hangover and a trashed apartment today. Also there appears to be a street sign in my roomates room, which im not completely sure how it got there. We also went to some club for a bit, not sure how exactly I got in because I dont think I was really able to stand at that point. Anyways it was pretty cool there, except everyone was in halloween costumes, and I was not because I was unaware that the halloween parties were going on this weekend.
Anyways I guess I better post some poker content. Here's a pretty key hand from the final table of the 1500 guarenteed final table, I can't find the hand history so stack sizes are estimates, I think there's 8 people left at this point and im chip leader, with villain in 2nd place.
Villain is dealer, Hero is BB.
Villain (38000)
Hero (43000)
blinds: 1500/3000
Hero is dealt: Qc, 4s
Folds to villain.
Villain raises to 9000.
SB folds.
Hero raises all-in.
Villain folds and shows Ac Js.
Now obviously if I knew he had AJ, which im pretty sure was in the upper part of his range, I wouldnt have pushed. But I had several things working for me here. I pushed and got the result that I wanted.

Here i am!
Well, i made my way over here so i can share my experiences of making and losing 15-25 buyins a day which i seem to have a habit of doing.
Currently playing 50NL on party with a $1950 roll and have nearly 20k hands racked up on PT (which i suck at using so far) so i plan on moving up once i hit $2500 or so.
That's pretty much it for now, ill try update with decent poker and non-poker content but i'm a really boring, unsociable person so the chances of me posting something interesting are fairly slim.
Bye for now! =)

Additional Bloggers
Happy to announce that Chrisgill and Bluelips will also be blogging on this site.
I made a blog
Yea, so I got bored and made this blog. Guess a few of you will recognize me as pokerfiend or holymackerel on poker.com. This blog will probably focus on poker, if im not too lazy and actually end up writing in it. At the moment I'm only playing a few hours a week and am currently playing at wpex and poker.com.
Tonight I played for maybe 4 hours at poker.com, which was nice since I haven't had the time to play lately. I just 6 tabled 25 NL cause im a nit like that, and also just felt like playing some mindless poker cause I was tired. I'm also trying to maybe get the comp points for sundays 50k, before today i only had 75cps so far this month so I don't know if i'll end up playing it. But i did get about 2500cps tonight so I might end up playing it. Made maybe 250$ or so tonight, so I guess it was a decent night. Cashed for 180$ in the 1500 teed, probably should've won it, but I managed to double up the short stack beside me about 5 times. Wasn't ever ahead when we got our money in preflop, but you think I could win one of those times. Oh well, thats poker, that player knocked me out when KJ couldn't hold vs QT...so I don't win when I'm ahead anyways.
Can't really complain, I ran really hot early in the tournament and had like 30k by first break, which was more than double anyone else. Cash tables were meh, ran pretty avg, played pretty avg. I lost a bunch at the end with K7 vs K8 on K78. Feel like I misplayed that one, I dont think I had to lose 200BB there, but I like donating money I guess, so whatever.
