winning session!

Ugh, so the last couple of weeks have been fairly terrible and my bankroll took a hit after dropping plenty of buyins at the 60's and withdrawing 1.3k, so i've been feeling farily shitty about my game lately. Obv solution: drop down to the 22's =/

Atleast I finally had a winning day, ended up 250 and calling it a day. The play at the 22s on ftp was awful compared to the 60s and it looks like im gonna play em or a while to rebuild and regain some confidence.

In other news, on saturday I turned down secksytime! I think this is more of a brag than a beat, cause she was seriously one of the ugliest wimmin I ever saw (she had no teeth afaik). Obv a good sign i'm not that desperate imo

will try to update this blog more frequently, been slackin too much lately imo. Also, lol @ fitz

Quantity over quality = not g00t

Roll: $700. +7.5BB/100 through 8k hands of 25NL.

Just tried 12 tabling 25NL for the first time, really unhappy about my play in the session. Just played 2000 hands in the last couple of hours, I was up 1BI but I made so many mistakes.

8 Tables might be ideal for me at 25NL, cause I rarely make big mistakes when 8 tabling. I'll probably give 12 tables another go, as I might just need some time to adapt to how quickly I have to go. I made a lot of really crucial errors today. Didn't seem like I ran too great either.

I might try to push for $1000 by the end of march, as I have nothing to do this weekend. There's also been a bit of hope of getting my other money back in the last couple of days, so that would be nice.

Off to school now,

Later,

Kyle

Another 1k hands tonight.

Current Roll: 630$
I Just noticed the rake I pay is 6BB/100, so I'm not too happy about that. The rake at micro stakes is brutal :(. To put that in perspective, I've paid 150$ in rake over the 5000 hands I've played at 25NL. Or since Saturday. This represents 1/4 of my current roll.

But onto the poker:
The Tricky LAG (TL) player I mentioned previously was there for the start of my session tonight. Which sucked, as he 3 bets every single time I raise. Tonight he got the better of me. However, we only had 2 AI hands vs each other (one I had an overpair and he had a set...I thought I was trapping him and he was shooting off air. The other I flopped gin with AJs vs AA :D). So he ended up leaving after about 30 minutes, which was nice.

Pocketfours' little test run with playing 25NL at 56/44 has inspired me. (He ran +40BB/100 over 1000 hands and after seeing him post some hand histories I actually think this is pretty close to optimal at 25NL for a good mid stakes player, if you're keeping really close attention. Ie: playing one table).

Seeing as I am 8 or 9 tabling, I really don't think playing 56% of my hands and raising 44% of them would be good for me. Plus P4's is better than me :P. With that being said, after TL left I really opened up with my raising. I played pretty tight while he was there, because he had position on me on almost every table and playing loose when I'm going to be 3 bet a ton probably isn't smart. Overall for the session I ran about 26/24 (apparently I don't ever call? My Hand History converter may not be entirely accurate, as I think I called PF more than this.)

Probably butchered 2 hands pretty badly tonight. One I over-bet shoved on the river with complete air after 2 barrelling vs a super nit who I knew had to have a really good hand. But I thought I might be able to fold out a really good hand and can't resist the opportunity to 3 barrel queen high LOL. At least that did wonders for my image and I caught a hot streak on that table shortly after.

Then there was this hand:

So I guess my thinking on the river is:
Let's just bet the river just because its fun to do so and because I'm angry he called!!!
Well played Kyle. Well played.

At least I got it back 5 hands later when he bet/3bet/called AI with TPWK... I had a set.

Good session, and an exception to the B/F > C/C Rule.

2 posts in one day? ZOMG. I just hit 500$ after playing for 2 more hours and running good in another 25NL session. My +9BB/100 over 4k hands is looking way sexier than yesterdays -3BB/100 over 1.4k.

Tonight was another heavy multi-tabler there, who was quite good. Best player I've seen at 25 NL anyways. We got heavily involved in a lot of pots with each other, and each made 4 bet bluffs pre-flop and played some tricky hands post flop. I definitely got the better of him, but that was mostly was because I hit more cards. I will probably be reviewing his play and looking for leaks sometime soon. He plays quite a bit looser than me at 30/22 (I play more TAG at about 21/17), but from what I saw was definitely solid post-flop and not a LAGtard. Not sure why he's playing 25NL lol, maybe he's like me :P.

Anyways, going with what we were talking about before where I had mentioned that bet/fold is better than Check/call the majority of the time. I think this hand is a good exception to that rule. I'm pretty much c-betting here with anything I raised with, so I think he floats flop a bunch. His range here is probably a slow-played boat or any pocket pair. Him floating air on the flop is also somewhat plausible, but i think he bets turn if that was his plan, even if he paired his J. So really I don't think I get called by worse here and if he did have a pocket pair I think he might feel obliged to bluff it, since I could very well be playing the board. Also I think his range is more tilted towards pocket pairs than it is Ax.

Also note, my hand has about the same strength of like a T,Q or K high here, so i likely make this same move on the river if i had something like T9s, KQ ect. I'm not too sure where my cutoff point would be, but I think I'm always check/calling with at least T, Q, K-high in this river spot and I'm pretty sure that thats probably correct in this pot vs this villain.

Might take a homework day tomorrow, not sure if I'm going to play or not.

Thin value.

So Im somewhat caught up in school now so i logged about 2.5k hands over the past couple of days. Roll is now 375$. I've moved up to 25NL. (moved up at 250), which sorta sucks cause my roll runs out of money sometimes and I can't reload. (Im usually 8-10 tabling). Not great BR management, I know, but I feel I have a pretty good edge at this game, although I have been making a lot of non-poker multi-tabling mistakes, which sucks. About half are because of the software and half are from me taking too long on hands. (although thats sorta software related too as you get like 5 seconds to act.) Planning on playing a fair amount the rest of the month to build the roll back. Haven't heard from microgaming yet. They released another statement, but it didn't say too much.

So the cut off point for me is 200$, if I dip below that it's back to 10NL. Will move up to 50 NL somewhere around just over 1k$ I think.

I know I promised a video, but well... I seemed to have broken my headphones, so thats probably not going to happen anytime soon.

The largest error by far I see at this level from the regulars is a lack of aggressiveness. Especially on later streets. I've like never seen anyone value bet a hand that they weren't like 99% sure was ahead :P. Maybe thats a bit of exaggeration, but really very few players go for thin value at this level. In general if you are going to call it bet, it is better to bet/fold. The reason for this is that your opponent is going to be calling far more hands than what he's betting, for the most part.

Also for the love of god, do not 3 bet min raise your big pocket pairs, ESPECIALLY OOP! unless you want to get stacked by an asshole like myself.

Don't really feel like sifting through my hand histories, but there's a couple of hands I can post that are off the top of my head. These aren't the greatest examples, but I think a lot of people at this level wrongly check through the river, As I think both pushes are +eV, but that could be partially because of my image as well. I showed down a lot of shit in this last session.


Sorta what I'm talking about with thin value:

OBV I lost this hand,he has 33-99, A5, a lot and calls and Im only losing to AJ, JJ, 55, 22, A2. I think as played his range is tilted to 66-99. Really don't think he's gonna bet a missed draw on river if I check, so pushing is probably way better than check-call, which is probably a little better than check-fold. So in summary: (bet>>>C/C>C/F)

Guy is a bit of a station. A scared 8x is definitely in his range, although if he has that I assume this guy probably raises turn/makes some sort of mini bet on river. Flush is pretty unlikely considering he checked the river. (TBH- Had he shoved river I probably fold vs this guy). I think he most likely has 2 pair here and there's a good chance he's calling, A lot of 1 pair hands in his range too, he probably folds them a lot though. AA-QQ is definitely possible as well. Obv he called with TPTK, which was nice.

Fun hands from session:

(can't find history)
raise preflop in position with A8o.
flop came 573 , 2 hearts
he checks, I cbet, he calls.
turn is Tx. check, check.
river is 7. He bets 3/4 pot. I go into tank for a bit, I call, he shows 9h4h.

He starts dealing out death threats to me. Pretty sure I have at least pot odds to call him there, I might even be ahead of his range, as he's betting a very polarized range. (air or trip 7s+). Only had of (air) I dont think I beat is Ah9h.



YEA FOR SPITE CALLS! (he called with ace high here), Ah9x I think.
I was almost positive he had Kh or Ah here, and he definitely value bets and calls my raise if he has Kh. And tries to make a lol bluff with Ah. Thus the reason for the river check. I think it was slightly better than B/B/B in this spot vs this opponent.

100 posts!

Now i just wish i had something interesting to say :D

Well, i had my hair cut after growing it for nearly 3 years. Short n spiky, like the good ol days.

Probs won't update much for a while unless something interesting happens i feel like writing down, because i'm taking a much needed break from poker after tonight, and will start playing live when my mate passes his driving test, and can take me to various live donkaments :)

Oh, i earned enough fpp's on stars while playing 100NL to play the sunday million for free, so playing that atm.. hopefully ill cash decent and get a nicer starting live bankroll.

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Probably packing it in.

Instead of getting better at controlling my emotions while playing online poker, iv'e actually gotten worse. It's gotten to the stage where now im thinking to myself "f**king hell let me have the AA instead of the KK one time"

I have started tilting.

It started with my $5k downswing, then i started playing bad and now It's because i'm extremely sick of grinding increasingly difficult games, i can't play for more than 30 minutes without bordom kicking in. I'm probably cashing out my bankroll and playing a lot more live.

Also, probably getting my hair cut off soon before job hunting to make myself look a bit more presentable :D

I guess ill just have to donate that $6.66 :\

But don't worry folks, if i play more live.. that means more trip reports and live donkament stories! Plus i think it will be a nice variety with blue blogging about donkaments, fitz about online cash and me about live.

Later..

Swongs imo

Yes, I know. I'll probably never top Gill's epic 1/2 roll swongs, but a 2k downswong really annoys me and it's probably my own fault for playing under suboptimal conditions (and getting spitecalled on the bubble a lot. TY, you fuckin morans!!). Stayed up 24 hours straight, went to school, came back, played some bad poker, went to sleep, more bad poker etc...

Roll has dipped below 14k again, after I withdrew some and been running/playing bad the last couple of weeks, maybe I need a little break.

Rakeback's coming on friday, hopefully a nice surprise as I've been putting in more volume lately.

That's it for now. I could write a long entry about some of my drunken escapades since my last poast, but i'll save that for some other time

Cruising.

Got in a couple of hours of poker here and there. Have built the 100 deposit into 250+ at 10NL over the last week. No word on my microgaming BR yet :(. Been running at over +30BB/100 at 10NL. Not sustainable, I'm running good.
Really at these limits I just gotta refrain from outplaying myself. There are a ton of places where I want to bet, but probably shouldn't as they won't recognize my possible holdings or even the strength or their own hands. For the most part I did well in dumbing down my game and got 3 streets of value in a bunch of places with like 2nd pair vs stations.

Here's sort of an interesting one I played. With some previous reads I was positive this was weak. But I obviously forgot that any pair is unfoldable in 10 NL. Still I like the play I made here vs. this guy. Im not too big of a dog here, and I think he really wanted to hit the fold button, but his 10NL donking skillz took over I guess. (note: I turned a king and won the hand):

http://weaktight.com/129004

Hopefully i get a few more hours in this week and move up to 25NL.

Kyle.

My eyes are bleeding

Because i'm now 16-18 tabling stars 100NL :D

Iv'e tightened up a lotttt and instead of trying to outplay people im just getting aces and value betting vs fish.

Ill never get any better doing this but hey, the question is, skill or money?

Ill take the money thanks.

Ok, Enough Complaining..

Well, i somehow managed to drop my roll to $7200 playing with the friday night donks, and realised that the rest of the time.. the Ipoker games are just infested with 17/15 Nittags, so i'm moving across to pokerstars to play 100NL there until i hit 10k again.

I made a video yesterday of a 1-2 session after trying numerous times to get my headset to work correctly. It went ok, but im not happy with the quality of the video, so i plan on making a 100NL one on stars either later today, or tomorrow to upload.

Also, i look forward to the $2400 that sklansky owes me, kthx.

Thursday, March 6, 2008

And more

Chalk off another 1k, roll = 8k.

Moved down to play 100NL for a while, played 2500 hands.. lost $100, ran bad. Great stuff.

10 NL SOULREADER

LOL I just called a river shove with 55 and 3 overcards on board at 10NL. My play probably wasn't optimal in that hand :P

So, Just deposited 100$ on pdc, so im playing again, weeeee. Except i closed tonight and I got school early so I probably won't be playing until the weekend. But I did play tonight for like 20 min just for shits and giggles. So in 70 hands of 10NL I won 3 BIs, which puts me at +220BB/100 or something... which is probably sustainable at this level. Kidding of course, but these players are really really really REALLY bad. This was my first ever 10NL session (other than the ones where me and blue sit down and AI everyhand of course) and my preliminary assessment is that i could probably sustain at least +15-20BB/100 here. So hopefully I don't run bad and will only be at this level for a couple of days before moving to 25NL.

I will try and explain to you guys how to beat this level, since i think some of our readers play at these stakes. Just bet every street for value with anything remotely good...cause no one folds :). I'll post some Hand histories as soon as I get my converter working.

Dangggg

Another downswing. Roll= $9k.

Owed 1k in sklansky and generally just running really, really shitty. But at least i'm not tilting, and am playing well :)

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Oops

I got my RB for feb for $1700, bringing my roll to $12,200.

Then i played a session, played fairly poor, ran awful.

And now my roll is 10,900 again. lol :(

My Input on Chris' hand

Me and Chris thoroughly discussed hand 1 of his last post. Its really the only hand that is worth discussion out of the 4 hands posted because hands 3 and 4 are lol and hand 2 is SHIP IT HOLLA QUADS!!!

Anyways, although I think Chris' line here is good. I thought that a turn push would be better.
Reasons are:
A) We are way ahead of villains range here.
B) Although we are ahead of his range he has a lot of outs with pretty much his whole range except for 99-QQ.
C) The pot is already huge and shoving would be less than a pot sized bet.
I think the only realistic hands he has that can beat us here are: Ac7c, Ad7d and possibly crappier Ahxh hands, such as Ah2h.

Chris agreed with the shove being good but liked the original line vs aggro player because of the maximization of value from bluffs on missed cards. But, in general we both had about the same line of thinking here.

Also Ive been getting pumped to play again and will be depositing again once this week is over. Given that the Microgaming issues don't magically resolve by then and I get my roll back, which seems highly unlikely.

10k holla!

Well, 10,500 actually :)

Just booked a super heatterrrrr 1400 win to boost my BR up. Gonna post a few hands i played and talk through them.

Hand 1:

http://weaktight.com/123494

Opp is Taggy, but pretty bad.. so when he calls my 3 bet i put him on a pretty wide range, including all pp's, and random SCs n stuff. Pretty sick flop, but after he calls i'm 90% sure he doesn't have a set, 2 pair or a big combo draw, as i think he'd raise and get it in ASAP. Turn is a crappy card as he pairs his Ax hearts, so i check and expect him to check behind with an OESD/FD that the A didn't help, but think he'd shove Ax hearts once i check. Anyway, he checks behind so im very confident he has some sort of draw. River kinda sucks because the OE got there, but i think a FD is much much more likely with his line, so i check and he instaaa jams which makes me feel a bit sick. I think about folding but realise that i'm far too much of a station and say something in the chat like DONTBLUFFME, and call. He rolls over 78, shipitholla.

EDIT: lol, the T was irrelevent as the OE already got there, i know, i know.. :\
The 1 card OE and the FD missed is what i was getting at (or trying to)


Hand 2:

This hand was very sexy, as we're pretty deep. Opp is very aggro postflop. Std raise and set hunt call for me preflop. Once the flop hits i immediatly decide to CR, because i love to CR air on these kind of boards, especially deep because it puts villians in tough spots with big pairs vs my 3 bet calling range. He checks behind which is kind of unusual for this opp, and it really got me thinking. Once the turn comes and i quad up, i lead out to see where he's at in the hand and now he raises. At the time i actually thought it was a bluff as his line makes very little sense for TT+, so elect to call and check/jam any river. River comes, i check.. and he shoves the rest into me. Kinda suprised to see AA here, as it's the first time he's played a big pair like that. Guess he wanted some pot control and decided i'd call off with worse on the river. Either that or a misclick :p


Hands 3+4.

Just a few "lol wtf" hands for you to enjoy. Probably not as much as i did though :D

Anyway, iv'e played 7700 hands so far @ a decent winrate of 7BB/100 (unsustainable for me), and hopefully should have closer to 75k hands played this month rather than the original 50k. With a winrate of 4BB/100, 75k hands should net me $12k profit, plus RB obv. So anyways, time for sleep and a silly day @ uni before the everlasting grind continue's! :)

Bad Beat :(

Well looks like my bankroll is frozen.

Tusk, which was the casino funding a bunch of the microgaming skins just pulled out. Which happens to be where I currently have my monies. Good times. Apparently microgaming has been good in the past with this sort of thing, so im optimistic that I will eventually be able to cash out what I have on there, but no one really knows whats going on at the moment. It's not so bad for me, as I recently cashed some money out and only had a little over a grand in there, but a lot of players just got severely fucked over. Guess nothings ever really safe online...its not like microgaming was a small site or anything either, they're like the 6th most popular or something.

Looks like I might be starting a "how to start a bankroll from scratch" blog :(.
