Ugh

I am on super monkey mega tillt. I played two sessions today for a total of about 2k hands. 1st session I dropped just over 3 buy-ins and on the second I lost nearly 5 buy-ins. Just simply complete wankers getting there on me all the fucking time regadless of what odds they are getting. AA--pfft. i am folding that fucker from now on as it gets smashed to bollocks every single time I get dealt it, unless I raise and they all fold.

I played like a twat towards the end because my head had gone. I have been absolutely reamed and I mean reamed. I won;t even drag all the shit hands out for you as I'm sure you are sick of heaaring it, but it was fucking brutal. Almost felt like I was in a horror movie.

I am already 9 buy-ins below EV over this first 15k hands. I mean come on, give me a fucking chance to get started at least you tight bastard RNG. Lets not forget the number of fucking coolers I am encountering. Set over set.... meh blah blah fucking blah.

Shove it up your arse poker you mudder fukking scumbag POS. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Days 5 + 6

Day 5 - Was doing ok and was well in profit, but at the end it all went a little pear-shaped, when I had KK into AA twice, one of them for a $120 pot and then lost a flip with AKs vs QQ, all this meant I finished the session down $26 rather than up, but no complaints as thats pretty standard stuff. Once again I hit my points totals for the day and knocked out around 1100 hands.

Day 6 - Just a day on MONSTER coolers. Got a set of 6's into a set of Q's on a Q 6 2 flop. Had AA cracked by AKs, which runner runner flushed. Got top set, 10's, into a 1 card straight. I also got it in on a JJ52 board with KJ and ofc opponent has 55. lol. I also got AA busted again on a ten high two club flop, when he had TT. Sigh FML. That type of session just destroys your hard work and in reality there isn;t a fucking thing in this world that you can do about it. I ended up finishing the session down $88, which means so far for this month I am now down ~6 buy-ins. My all in EV graph tells the story to be fair. I've been brutalised!!!

I hope my fortunes change a little as tbh I am playing ok and there is still plenty of time to turn it around.

Rush - Day 4

Last night I changed my approach a little. I was 4 tabling the Rush games instead of 3 tabling and tbh found it easier. I can;t explain why, but I just felt more comfortable.

I started out badly, playing a hand shit when I missed with AK on a flush drawing board and set up a turn shove. Board was Ts 3s 8d 6d and I had AKo. I shoved turn and he tanked for a while and then called with JJ (in a 3-bet pot). Still, badly played vs someone I had no stats on.

Thankfully thats where the shit play stopped and I got a grip of myself. 1.1k hands later I was ~ $68 to the good for the session, so I recovered that silly start and finished in profit.

I also hit the first part of the bonus, clearing the first $25 for getting over 100 points on 4 consecutive days. Pretty easily acheivable too and whilst I am still adapting to Rush it's a welcome helper.

I need to squeeze it in again tonight before playing the RTR team game, which after all the banter and bullshitting each other I had better put a fkin good performance in! lolololol. I'd look a right twat if after oining Nightmare Nick I played like a tit and bust early!!!! Hopefully the reverse will be true and I'll nail that ginger fish to the wall :)

ok gotta run, hopes you runs goot.

Rush Swings

So after my first three days of Rush it's already a rollercoaster.

Day 1 -  Played aggro, but not really getting anywhere fast. Win a buy-in, lose a buy-in, sort of like that all session. Think I finished about $6 to the good after 1k hands. I did generate 148 points for the promotion though hitting silver for the day, which was the plan to maintain to get the free $50 after 7 days.

Day 2 - Good day, played hard got a few monster hands including quad 2's, which I got a stack with vs AA and then got Quad tens, but no action. Overall it went pretty well and I finished ~$84 up, so 3-buy-ins ish. Once again playing about 1.2k hands and generating enough for silver rush bonus on day 2. I was feeling pretty buoyed up now as things were going well.

Day 3 - The shit hit the fan. I was still playing my super aggro style, but was missing everything and I eventually got mega frustrated and dumped pretty much 3 stacks by 5-bet shoving when I lost my rag vs 4-bettors. Sigh. I ran into KK with AK, JKs I 5 bet shoved and was called by 99 which held, depsite me picking up a FD on flop. Then I Shoved AJs vs AK and lost, which was deserved. I lost another stck BVB aggainst a guy who was pretty much a maniac, he raises from SB, I 3-bet with JJ, he 4-bets, so I shove. Obv he has Q's. FML, I really thought I was way ahead of his range there. I was also Check-raised a fkin million times on my c-bets, which was adding to my frustrations. Overall though there are no excuses, I played like a twat and got what I deserved. I would have stopped ealier, but I needed to make my points and in the end I dropped ~$170. Fkin terribad. I seriously need stop losses because when I hit monkey tilt in such a fast game, I spew quickly and heavily.


Today is day 4 and I'll be playing tonight and hopefully playing much better.

ONE TIME!

Rushing Around

Firslty, a big thankyou to all who stopped by and left comments on my previous post. Is great news!



I finally got rakeback on my existing Full Tilt account! weeeeeeeeeeee. So, I moved 1k over there and am starting to grind some NL25 6-max. Just firing up 3 tables and away I go. It's pretty itense and it takes a lot of concentration to make a lot of good, very very quick decisions, but so far I am enjoying it.

I was toying with the idea of going back to microgaming tbh, but I can play the same volume on three tables of rush, as I can with like 7 tables on Micro, so it means I don't have to drag out the second monitor and spend too much time table selecting.

The plan is to try and play 1k hands per day aiming for roughly ~15k hands this month as it's a late start. I'll also be involved in their Rush bonus thingy this week, with the plan of getting a free $50 just for playing as I normally would, so that's a bonus to the start.

Strategy wise, well I am just playing pretty aggro ATM and it's working well, but I am not bothering firing 2 barrells too often as people at these levels tell you whether they have a hand or not, so it's best to get the goods and then take them to value town. My 3-bet on the button is extremely high as so few people have reads on your play, so often have to take it at face value.

The only big problem is that now the French have been ring-fenced away from the main player pool b y their greedy fkin government and we all know the majority of Fench players were terrible. So now even fewer fish swimming around the ponds.

Anyways I'll stick at it and hope you are all running goooot!

Who's the daddy!



Me!!!!!

recently found out I am going to be a daddy for the second time and I'm absolutely made up! There will be around a 2 and a half year gap between the little ones, which is what we were sort of looking ofr, so it's all perfect.

Proper happy about it!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On the poker front, I am just experimenting on the Rush Poker. Just crashing about at NL10 (I have ~40 buy-ins on tilt for it). I can get volume in and not have to play a million tables.

I have bought myself into the APAT Worlds Main Event at DTD in August, so lookng forward to that.

June Round-up

Well June was extremely poor for me. I had no focus. I didn't grind and I went on holiday. Poker just basically took a back-seat. I also think my lack of focus was a real problem, never knowing what I felt like playing and what i wanted to concentrate on had a pretty big effect on my mood to play.

I genuinely have to make a decision what I am gonna do for July and stick to it.

Anyways Round-Up:

Tourneys:

PokerStars: 32 tourneys for a $318.80 loss
Full Tilt: 37 tourneys for $11.37 profit.
Cereus: 11 tourneys played for a  $87.15 loss

Didn't play any hands of cash.

Overall = $394.58 loss

First losing month of the year.
