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 :)

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:
http://weaktight.com/123495
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
http://weaktight.com/123496 K HIGH ISN'T GOOD HERE EVER, EVEN AGAINST ME.
http://weaktight.com/123497 lol stackoffwith2ndpaironabadboardinalimpedpotaments
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 :(.
