O hai

Running breakeven, up slightly, still running sickly bad but somehow manage to run breakeven.
Rakeback pro itt?

It's like, I play decent and run ok, then BOOOM it's like a bomb drops and I drop 6BI's in 100 hands, rince and repeat.

But there is rakeback.

Can someone say Epic Fail?

Yeah, I'm back in the game allright.
I'm back to wondering wether I'm actually running bad or if I'm just a terrible poker player.
I fucking hate myself for today.

Drop so far: 18BI's and continuing.

I seriously don't know what to do, the previous 20BI downswing I had was the reason I quit poker, and that was over 70k hands, this one was over 2 days and probably like 5-7k.

I'm so fucking frustrated right now and I don't really know what the fuck to do.

Moving up! (sort of)

Starting taking shots at soft 2-4 games, found some super fish and ran pretty well.

Results= $1700

Bankroll hits 13.5k, new record.. shipith0lla :)

Poor liver

I went out 4 nights last week, and fully expect to do the same this week.

Also, it's my birthday the 8th of august, so i plan on being drunk all weekend.

Send me $1.25 on stars please, so when my liver fails i can buy a new one.

Running goot

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd let you know how my bankroll is doing, as I said earlier I started fresh with 1000€ at this fish site with RB.

Now, 12k hands later, I'm running better then I have in over 6 months.
Looks like my 2 month break from the game paid off.
I had a solid 9BB/100 winrate until I fired up 7 tables today.

Today I had a staggering 8BI session playing 1400 hands at 30BB/100.

My 1000€ has now, in less then a week, turned into 2200€.

Hand of the day:
Game # 869976122 - Texas Hold'em No Limit EUR 0.25/0.50 - Table "Husum"

Players(max 6):
Bazzzta (EUR 49.37 in seat 1)
shlomix123 (EUR 91.55 in seat 2)
GordonX (EUR 50.85 in seat 3)
niback (EUR 79.15 in seat 4)
romankr7 (EUR 155.80 in seat 5)
xBTLx (EUR 72.45 in seat 6)

Dealer: GordonX
Small Blind: niback (0.25)
Big Blind: romankr7 (0.50)

xBTLx was dealt: Kc - Ah

xBTLx Raise (2.00)
Bazzzta Call (2.00)
shlomix123 Call (2.00)
GordonX Fold
niback Call (1.75)
romankr7 Call (1.50)

Obvious 4BB raise pre flop.

Flop Qc - Js - Ts

niback Check
romankr7 Bet (5.00)
xBTLx Call (5.00)
Bazzzta Fold
shlomix123 Raise (18.00)
niback Fold
romankr7 Call (13.00)
xBTLx Call (13.00)

This call might seem bad, but I was 75% sure someone would raise behind me if I just called.
Then I would, depending on the size of the bet, 3-bet or just smooth call do get more money in the pot on the turn and river.

I chose to call the 18€ re-raise instead of 3-betting cause obviously I had the nuts, I was abit scared of a spade cause some of them is very likely to be drawing to a flush, but I figured it would be worth the risk to get more money in there on later streets.

Turn Qc - Js - Ts - 6d

romankr7 Bet (60.00)
xBTLx All-In (52.45)
shlomix123 All-In (71.55)
romankr7 Call (11.55)

Now this site is very very fishy as I told you, and I think I came a little when I saw this guy insta shove the turn, I obviously snap called holding the stone cold nuts, then another guy shoves on top of that again, unbelievable.

River Qc - Js - Ts - 6d - 8c

romankr7 shows: 6s - 8s (two pairs, eights and sixes)
shlomix123 shows: 9h - 3c (a straight, queen high)

Bingo, no spade and all your moniez are belong to me.
But I mean, look at how these guys played that hand, what the hell are they doing?
I obviously don't mind cause these guys make me rich.

shlomix123 wins: EUR 38.20 side pot (with a straight, queen high)

xBTLx shows: Kc - Ah (a straight, ace high)

xBTLx wins: EUR 218.35 main pot (with a straight, ace high)
Rake: EUR 3.00

Ship it.

Introducing xBornToLosex

Hey guys, I was given the honor of becoming a poster in the famous KingJackAments. Hehe.
So how do I know you guys? Well obviously through poker, I know ChrisGill the most of you guys, obviously since we went to Prague together.

You guys should feel bad about not coming, it was an amazing trip.
Anyways I know some of you others aswell, slightly, the next person I know the best after ChrisGill would have to be Gaper, Bluelips or Audun if you wish. :)

I'm here to post a littlebit of poker-related material obviously, I'm still grinding my way up again after the horrible downer I had which totally killed my lust for poker and made me cash out half of my roll. I took a 2 month break and decided that after the Prague trip it was about time to pick up the virtual cards on teh interwebs again.

And so I did, put €1000 on a new fishy site with rakeback and 5000 hands later I find myself at a solid 9BB/100 and up €450. Solid.
So it seems like I'm finally running abit better again, honestly I can't remember running this good since before christmas, cause the downer I had was so sick it almost gave me nightmares.

Well anyways, maybe I should tell you abit about myself.
My name is Frode, I come from Norway and ChrisGill likes to call me the crazy scandi guy, I suppose he's right. If you read the TR you would probably know why.
I'm 19 years old(soon to be 20 afaik) and I love booze and wimminz.

Reason I play poker, well at first it was for fun, but the thing that kept me playing is that I knew that poker wasn't just some ordinary gamble with a set -EV where you can not turn out positive in the long run. I knew that some day, if I kept playing and learning I might eventually end up making money, and that thought turned me on so badly.
I played and I played and started to make a profit eventually, I haven't made a deposit in like 7 months or so now, and apart from the sick badrun I think I could call myself a winning player.
Poker isn't really fun anymore, I'm sure you all can relate, once poker becomes a job where all you do is pressing the right buttons and making the right decissions, and the gamble element is taken out of the game, it's not that fun anymore.

But the moniez, we're all doing it for the moniez. I have heard that ChrisGill's friends can be abit lame sometimes, some of you don't like to party, is this correct? If so I suggest you spend some of that well earnt money, get some fucking booze, go out there and tear that fucking dancefloor apart, and maybe, just maybe you'll even end up with a girl in your bed. But if you're doin it right you wont be able to get a boner anyway so it's all just a waste, alcohol is funny that way.

That's it for this entry, you'll probably see more of me in the future.
