Not my standard line by any means but agains we can see the type of player he is and I do not expect him to be checking the turn back all that often. So maybe a little misplay by me, but not against his actual hand range.

Some O.K. poker

Yesterday was my worst in a long time. I started off the day on a 3.5 buy in downswing. Since I'm pretty tight that doesn't happen all that often to me. I had straights hit on me 4 times when I held big hands (AA, KK, KK with top set, and KJ with top pair). This is going to happen which is fine but then I missed out on 4 sets, 2 because I folded to a short stacks open raise because it's not profitable to call given their stack size, and 2 because the pots were 3b preflop and I couldn't call. 1 of those sets turned into quads and the other players got it all in. Also folded a KQ from the SB when I completed with an UTG limper and a very tight player from the BB raised with his AK. The loose guy UTG with 67 calls his stack off on a QQ7Q2 board and the BB just bet every street. >=0 very very frustrating but I still made the correct plays and the short term results don't matter because I made the correct long term plays. I played a session at night where I made back 200$ which helped out the cause.

Today was good. I started off by making half a buy in in about 225 hands this afternoon, but got a parking ticket in the process because my meter ran out. Damn downtown Hartford. Then I played another session after my second class tonight and I won a few big hands. I had one guy bluff shove the river with 77 on a 886 10 Q board into my AA. Then on the same table about 45 mins later I get involved in a big hand with a guy who's deep stacked and pretty bad too. Action folds to the cut off who is 24/21/5 over 800 hands and he raises. I know his range is wide and I have position on the button and decide to 3 bet him with 8s7s. The marginal player is 30/20/2 in the SB and flat calls my 3 bets. he plays very random and is overall a weak player. As I assumed the good player folded but I'm a little worried about the 3 bet cold call from the SB.

Flop (27$) 10s 9s 4c

Beautiful, open ended straight flush draw. SB checks I think and bet 21$ he calls fairly quickly and I think he has a very big hand now, an overpair at worst or AQ of spades.

Turn (69$) 6d

MONEY I have the nuts I want to protect my hand against a draw but I really think that's such a small portion of his range here and that he actually has a big hand that he is not folding. I'd expect him to play a big flush draw faster then this.

SB checks I bet 63$ he calls very quickly

River (195$) 5h

Still got the nuts and my stack isn't much compared to the pot. He checks, and I take some time before shoving my last 91$ and change which he snap calls.

Showdown Pot (376$)
SB: KK
Me: the nuts

ship it.

So I ended up up 311$ after I cleared 10$ in bonus for the day. March has been swingy with my big loss yesterday and big win today.

Solid day

My poker day started out bad. I got sucked out on with AA againts 74 that turned trips on a 345 flop 4 turn for a buy in. But I made a nice comeback and netted 166$ over 802 hands.

School however sucked. I got an exam back that I thought I did well on and ended up getting a 79 on it. Really pissed me off since I'm a National Honor student and all now. Guess I'll just have to study harder for the next one and make sure I do really well on it.

Tomorrow I have tons of studying and work to do for school so poker will be limited.

Bad start to the month

Got about 730 hands in last night, ended up down 50$. I wasn't too happy with my play in a few spots, but I got my money in very good for a loss of 150 in 2 big hands that hit the river on me. I had some real bad players at my tables but they played back at me a lot and I played very passive, which I'm very displeased about.

I'm going to try and get around 1000 hands in tonight along with a ton of laundry.

Vegas

So 2 weekends ago I booked another trip out to Vegas. I'll be back out there with 2 friends from R.I. who I met through twoplustwo. Were staying at the Luxor again. I enjoyed it there last year except for the walks from casino to casino. We'll be out there for 9 days and with round trip flight it was only 1042 per person, plus one friend has his own flight so is giving us 150 each making our total cost a little under 900$ for the trip.

I'll be out there June 28th till July 7th. I can't wait to go. One thing I'm really looking forward to doing out there is shooting some guns. There is a huge gun range in Vegas and you can shoot a bunch of different guns. I'm most looking forward to an Uzi and M-16.

I'd love to grind tonight but I told myself no poker tonight, plus the girlfriend is sick so I'm going to go make her some soup and watch a movie.

Tomorrow I'm looking to put in about 2000 hands

More of the way too long syndrome

School has been bogging me down, along with work and poker. This is teh first month I've really decided to grind out some hands. I made an effort to play around 4 tables at all times because I wanted to hit 15000 hands this month. I made it to about 11k with moderate at best results. I'm pretty happy with the way I played but I have realized my game has much room for improvement. I made 728$ this month plus $170 in rakeback so all in all not too bad of a month. My sessions have usually been around an hour to an hour and a half long of 4 tabling when I have been playing. I averaged around 17$ an hour and with rakeback its a little closer to 20$ an hour. Not too shabby and if I could just stop spewing in some marginal spots my winrate would jump through the roof. I ran 17/14/6 which I think are great stats for 100NL.

Heres a graph of this month.




also add in $248 from foxwoods making about 1150$ this month. Hopefully next month will be better. I'm not 100% happy with my play this month so I am going to play a few thousand more hands at 100NL before jumping back up to 200NL.

I received a letter from my school this past week telling me I'm being inducted into Delta Mu Delta which is the National Honor Society for Business students. You have to be in the top 10% at your school and that's me so ship it.

I have an awesome post for tomorrow to talk about the summer.




edit: click on the graphs to see the full thing. blogger is cutting out 1/3 of the graphy because its too big, same thing with the previous post with graphs

Too long

Sorry it's been so long since an update. Poker was miserable for a while so I took a break. Just looking at this blog made me mad which is why I didn't update for a while. I took off about 10 days total and didn't play at all. My first session back was pretty poor results wise but I felt I played pretty good poker. I did spew off about 75$ on 2 bluffs thats pointless and I ended up down about 180. The last night I made 290. I played pretty well but was down about a buyin then went on a heater and won a few stacks pretty quickly. Today I made 43$.

I've played about 2k hands in the past 3 days which I want to keep consistent. My gold is to have around 10k online by the end of June.

Live poker roll is busted. I don't even feel like discussing it because it makes me mad. Called down by underpairs, set over set, you name it it happened.
