Might give that a miss!

I decided yesterday to have a change of sceneary and play some NLHE tables instead. lol. I thought the variance was harsh in Limit! I ran horribly. My aces had a win rate of just 76% over 17 times I got them. I managed to lose a total of just over $80 with them. when you consider a normal win rate for Aces, is about 90-92%, it shows I was running pretty bad. TBH, I was also very rusty. My bet sizing was poor and with playing so many tables, i really was doing some poor stuff, so i was lucky I guess to only finish the day $77 down. So thats 4 losing days in a row. It's really gutting.

Also, I hardly racked up any VPP's. despite playing 22-24 tables and over 3k hands. So that makes the decision to avoid it pretty easy. Tonight I'll step back to LHE and finally try and get a winning session in.

Hopefully, i can finally put in a winning session. I m now down $430 for the month playing LHE and NLHE. ffs!

It's a bit annoying as I made $297 in a day on the 1st May, playing my usual SnG's. I know I could have been building the roll nicely if i had stuck with them, but I made the change to get SN and I have come so far now, that I might as well do it.

One time.. gimme a hot run!

Not as it seems...

I am a grand total of $364 up playing LHE so far, but I can;t beat the rake as well. Without rake I am doing quite well! lol. with rake I am $360 down ATM.

That includes losing another $21.50 tonight over 1.3k hands.

It's a catch 22. I need the rake for the VPP's, but it's making the games so much harder to beat.

So far this month I have played just over 28k hands for a -0.38/BB100 figure, which was really pissing me off, then I was looking at the VS player stats and realised that actually I am beating the players, just not the rake as well. So its not that bad.

Tonight pretty much continued from this afternoon. AA and KK cracked early doors. I get pissed off, spend the rest of the session trying to recover.

Wish i wasn;t so results orientated in the short term, but tbh I can;t help it because of the PT3 stats and stuff i review after each sesh.

oh well. Hit supernova and then have a review of what i would like to play from there on in...

Downswong continues

Off work now until Sunday, so figured I would play an hour, with 4 tables of $2/$4 for a change and see how it went... well it was total fucking dross. Got aces once, they got cracked by tens. Got Kings twice, once cracked by QT and once by 33. Kept flopping great flush draws and then not getting there. Then to finish off the session, I was in SB with TT, it folds to me I raise, BB calls. Flop is JJ5, I bet he calls. Turn is a 2. I bet, he raises, I call. He leads river, which is a 7 and I call. Of course he defended his BB with J2o and turns the boat. Fuck off man. Get real.

I am sure you run hot and cold with the Stars RNG. You never just have average sessions, its either shit or great. ATM its mega shit for me. Dropped $126.50 in just an hour and 428 hands. Sigh.

I had to stop cos if i carried on I would do my bollocks and tilt the lot off.

Grrrrrr

Just played about 1.2k hands and struggled like fuck. Could just tell it was going to be a hard session. I kept getting hands like JJ/QQ and running it into 4-bet cappers pre flop, then having to play them by chk calling to the river on low boards to see the inevitable AA/KK in villains hands.


Final straw was losing a big pot with AA, which i 4-bet pre flop and was called in two spots. Flop was JJ6. I bet and it was raised, one guy flats, I re-raise and they both flat. turn was a 2. I lead and get re raised again. Other guy calls and so I do too. River is a queen, I check one bets, the other raises, I am too stubborn/stupid to fold my aces, which I am well attached to and they show down JQ and J5s. LOL. Fkin limit!!

The deck was just cold all night. I never once got into profit according to my poker tracker graph for the session, but was never really more than $30 down either. it was like, get a big hand, raise, get re raised.. fuck, call and miss flop. Raise AK and AQ, miss flop, C-bet , get called. Lead turn get re-popped, bye bye AK/AQ! haha.

Way it goes. My only problem was that right before I quit I lost two big hands, meaning I dropped to minus $75 for the session. Fuck sake.

Just when yo think you are getting the hang of it... Mr Variance comes and kicks you right in the balls!

Oh well.. lol. I'll keep at it for now.

Hope you rn better.

BM!

SuperNova is on its way

yes it is baby!! I just keep grinding out the quick evening sessions and can see the forbidden fruit in site!

Tonight i played a very short session, less than an hour because i really couldn;t be arsed, but glad i did becaue I managed to turn an $87.50 profit in that time.

Still $100 down overall, but I am clawing it back, which is nice. I really regret those two sessions now and realised that a lot of my play was spewy/tilty. Stupid, but we learn from our mistakes.

My bankroll nearly had a big fat injection this morning and hopes were very high, when i woke up to view the forums to see that Kennl was deep in the FTOPS $535 Main Event. A number of us had bought percentage shares of kenn for a set number of tourneys he was going to play in the FTOPS. He had a few small cashes upto this point, but nothing of any significance and then this morning the online live thread showed he was deep.

I had a 2% share and first prize was $430k, meaning a very sweet $8.6k for me if he made it. I spent mst of the mornign checking the internet on my phone to see how he was going. At one point he was chip leader with 30 left, but then lost a couple of major flips and finally bust out in a very credible 14th for $17.5k. Still a great ROI for his backers, but kenn was dissapointed as I think he felt with little bit more luck he was taking that down.

I have no doubt that a big big score will come soon for kenn, his game is on another level right now. Well done mate and thanks!

Lastly a huge shout out to Mr and Mrs Snake_Eyes. Their little girl was born today at 1pm

weight 6lb 9oz!! Congrast and all the best to all three of you!

Thats all for now

Night all

Quick hour..

Just played a quick session after working all day (12 hour shift). Not as many tables running as I hoped so could only get 17 going. Played a quick 1100 hands, for a small $44.25 profit., which ain't bad, but still haven;t recovered what I dropped in the last week.

I feel like I am finally getting the hang of it and properly nitting it up without going crazy. Ok, I know its a bit boring, hence why I like to play a lot of tables, but at the end of the day it's a means to an end. get Supernova and smile ..a lot!


Just playing tourneys and SnG's as a SuperNova is the equivalent to 28% rakeback, but that percentage is much higher at cash, add to that the freerolls and such and it's excellent value. Bring it on!!

I was reading the inside poker Magazine today at work and noticed that Moorman's dad managed to win the GUKPT in Manchester for £86k!! Moorman apparently bought him into it as a birthday gift!! Fuck me that family run goooot!!! hahaha. Congrats to him, looks like it runs in the family.

Thats all for now, off for a shower and bed.

GL all,

Grinding

.. exactly that. I fucked off the idea of playing some SnG's and decided to hit the stars tables again and carry on grinding out the VPP's. I played much steadier tonight, making sure I played less variance ridden ways, by always slowing down if I might be in trouble. I know i lose value to the bad players doing this, but there are so many fkin nits at these tables that its probably +EV in the long run, which tonight proved.

I didn;t feel I played particularly well but ended the session +$99.75, so obviously something went well. It's a strange game when you are multi-tabling so many tables because you can never really keep track of if you are up or down overall. I guess thats a good thing in reality because it stops you being results orientated. I love the intesity though of 24 tabing as its a bit manic and you just have to concentrate for the full session and by far the best site to do it is Stars.

Even though most people call it riverstars and the horrible way you seem to run sometimes on the site, it is by far the best software to play on IMO . Keep up the good work Stars.

On a non poker issue, I managed to get myself a ticket for the Playoff finals where Burnley take on Sheff Utd at Wembley. It'll be my first trip to the new Wembley and I am lookin forward to it. me and Bullmeister have the coach and that booked so it should make for a crackin day out! Come on you Clarets!

Thats all for now!

Keep nitting it up folks.
