1.8 imo (ya that means i played 1.8k hands)! I'd like to say some sort of epic life shit interfered with my ability to get the hands in, but the reality is I'm just toooo easy to distract. On friday i was like 1.5 hrs into my 'grind' when a friend of mine sent me a txt saying 'Bring booze and your bass guitar to mine 2nit. Band camp fun!'. Just as i was reading it this hand went down:

Full Tilt, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

BB: $316.05
UTG: $43
MP: $101
CO: $183.30
Hero (BTN): $219.75
SB: $202.20

Pre-Flop: 9 6 dealt to Hero (BTN)
3 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB folds, BB raises to $7, Hero calls $5

Flop: ($14.50) 9 6 T (2 Players)
BB bets $11, Hero raises to $32.50, BB raises to $74, Hero raises to $212.75 and is All-In, BB calls $138.75

Turn: ($440) 7 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($440) A (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $440 Pot ($3 Rake)
BB showed A J and WON $437 (+$218.25 NET)
Hero showed 9 6 and LOST (-$219.75 NET)

Pretty standard tbh (bb is aggro reg, doesn't ever believe me, i honestly think he'd stick AT in here) but it was enough for me to think 'fuck it, lets get drunk and play some tunes'. So i did, for most of the weekend!

Anyhow, Leo and papa bear, either post in comments or pm me ur sn on either FT or Stars (whichever u prefer) and i'll ship u some shame loot.

Aloha leggo,

Bin a while, will update properly nxt week at the end of this upcoming "challenge", but for now:

First 2 micro stakes posters that are active in the forums and post 'me plz!!1!!' in the comment section will get $100 if i don't play 30000 hands between now (Oct 14th 03:15am) and midnite sunday (Oct 17th 23:59pm). GMT is the clock we'll be using since i'm in Engerland, but ya, post and ye shall possibly receive!

I've been lazy for tooooo long Leggo, that's over now.

Sheepy

"Oh you're Italian, I'm calling you down with 4th pair"
"Oh you're South Korean AND betting, I'm foldin my bottom set"

Calling it a month now methinks (since its 10:20pm), and despite the LOL********pro results I'm actually fairly pleased. I feel like I improved a shitload this month, particularly IRT controlling my emotions and learning that sometimes it's cool to just fucking fold. I even folded a few sets and possibly even some overpairs, but don't tell anyone Then again for the first 50K hands i got shown the nuts every single damn time so fool me once I guess (or about 347965 times in my case)! I was hoping to get in a bit more volume but as it turned out I had to find a new place, so quite a bit of time went into househunting. Goddamn letting agents are euphemistic, since when did "Double bedroom" actually mean "A room you can fit a double-bed in, buuuut only if u keep the door permanently closed and have no other furniture"?

Anyway, onto graphage! Top 1 is since last friday when i started going Hudless, since my computer has decided it definitely isn't going to let me run FTP and HEM at the same time without melting. As a result i spent a huge amount of time (35 minutes) analyising a bunch of the 100NL Rush regs in HEM and feel like I'm much better for it tbh. Altho standard sample size/runhot disclaimer applies!



Month as a whole:



Here's to getting settled and internet connected in my new place so i can get in a decent April! May all of Leggo rungood, or at the very least no worse than me

Sheepy

Not a bad month all told, although I'm pretty annoyed at myself for reasons that will become apparent below...



+ $1200ish in bonus/tourney mincashs

But really tho I gotta cut out the sessions where I jizz off 15 buyins playing like a total dickhead. And to do so twice in the space of 30K hands is just lol (4 buyin stoploss yeh rit!). We're only 2 months into the year and I've already had no less than 5 days where i dropped more than 10 buyins, inc 1 -28 buyin day. It's pretty hard to maintain a decent winrate pulling shit like that on a regular basis. But I'm NOT gonna say I'll never do it again, we'll wait and see on that one, instead I'm just gonna move onwards towards March. For giggles, my most hilarious spew of the month. I don't even remember playing this hand, i gotz the skillz to pay the billz tho clearly...

In case you're wondering, yes I am available for coaching Merry March LeggoPoker!

The poker gods were good to me today, was a lot of fun. Had KK>KK on a J73r flop when i runner runnered a flush, then KK = AA on a 467 flop when the board ran out a straight. Add to that QQ>AA (made a straight on the river), ATss>JJ on QsJs4Ks8 and AA>66 on a A64A8 board 180 bbs deep and Sheepy is a happy camper, poker is easy etc etc

Garf for month so far, first 3k hands is regular 50NL6 max, rest is all FR rush, switched back to 100NL at about the 46k mark.



I still find myself slightly annoyed when doing session reviews though, and 3 times this month i have managed to manouever 200bbs into an A high board with no pair and no draw because "LOL they will fold their marginal top pair" (for the record, they definitely won't if they have backdoored the nut flush). Also felt the dreaded mega tilt creep in a few times, luckily managed to hold the spew down to about 6 buyins tho, a marked improvement on last month. Stiill not good enough, from now on a STRICT 4 buyin stop loss is in effect, and should i fail to stick to it i'll donate some monies to some puppies or somesuch.

Sheepy out, hope the rest of clan Leggo is having a month of good times, and lovin i guess if thats your thing.

Dear Rush Poker,

Go fuck yourself.

Love,

Sheepy



I only wanted to see what all the fuss was about... Anyhoo, Hi Leggo! I might do a standard boring intro post next time, but i just wanted to throw that garf out there tonight. I'm strangely proud of it, apart from mayyybe the 2 15 buy in cliff faces

Right, cue the exit music, which nails pretty well what i hope this blog will help me do to my poker game.
