Session 7, august 7th, 50nl, 6 tables:



Horrible.. Ok, I am grinding for about 1 hour and a half... and nothing interesting is happening... I get a few times the aces and I steal the blinds, I get one caller once but the flop came 3 to a flush so I have to puke... I get bored and frustrated and I get this:

hand 1:

BB: $50
UTG: $21.85
CO: $55.75
Hero (BTN): $58.45
SB: $47.50

Pre-Flop: K K dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG calls $0.50, CO folds, Hero raises to $2.50, 2 folds, UTG calls $2

Flop: ($5.75) 7 Q 6 (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4

Turn: ($13.75) 3 (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $9, UTG raises to $15.35 and is All-In, Hero calls $6.35

River: ($44.45) 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $44.45 Pot ($2.20 Rake)
UTG showed 6 5 (a flush, Queen high) and WON $42.25 (+$20.40 NET)
Hero showed K K (a pair of Kings) and LOST (-$21.85 NET)

I guess I can't to nonthing here because he was a ss...

I keep on losing a lot of small pots, missing all flops possible, and I end up in a HU with this idiot:

hand 2:

SB: $55.05
Hero (BB): $50.75

Pre-Flop: 7 A dealt to Hero (BB)
SB raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $5.50, SB calls $4

Flop: ($11) 9 T 7 (2 Players)

Turn: ($101.50) Q (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($101.50) T (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

SB showed 8 8 (two pair, Tens and Eights) and WON $101 (+$50.25 NET)
Hero showed 7 A (two pair, Tens and Sevens) and LOST (-$50.75 NET)

He was a 20/18 fold 3bet 20%, agg 3.2 over 250 hands... I don't know why I made that call and how the **** he cand play that way... I think I thought he had a FD or wtf...

One minute after I get this one... BvB... against a 20/14 with a 3bet of 6.3 over 160 hands... To sick...

hand 3:

MP: $51.30
CO: $50.70
BTN: $39.85
Hero (SB): $67.60
BB: $100.25
UTG: $95.90

Pre-Flop: Q Q dealt to Hero (SB)
4 folds, Hero raises to $2.25, BB raises to $6.75, Hero raises to $67.60 and is All-In, BB calls $60.85

Flop: ($135.20) 4 J 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Turn: ($135.20) 7 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($135.20) 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $135.20 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed Q Q (two pair, Queens and Fives) and LOST (-$67.60 NET)
BB showed K K (two pair, Kings and Fives) and WON $132.20 (+$64.60 NET)

The graph:



Conclusion: I have to relax a little and start playing my game again... I really can't play like this...

Session 6, august 7th, 50nl, 6 tables:



hand 1:
SB: $27.95
BB: $21.85
Hero (UTG): $50
MP: $50
CO: $8.90
BTN: $65.30

Pre-Flop: T J dealt to Hero (UTG)
Hero raises to $2, MP raises to $6, 4 folds, Hero calls $4

Flop: ($12.75) Q 5 5 (2 Players)
Hero checks, MP bets $6.50, Hero raises to $13, MP calls $6.50

Turn: ($38.75) 9 (2 Players)
Hero bets $31 and is All-In, MP calls $31 and is All-In

River: ($100.75) 2 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $100.75 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed T J (a pair of Fives) and LOST (-$50 NET)
MP showed Q A (two pair, Queens and Fives) and WON $97.75 (+$47.75 NET)

One of the first hands in the session. Villain was practically unknown and he 3bets me after my first opening at the table... It's a complete spew IMO, the minraise is horrible but the turn is the worst possible...

hand 2:

MP: $85.30
CO: $52.75
BTN: $26.70
Hero (SB): $59.30
BB: $52.75
UTG: $53.65

Pre-Flop: J J dealt to Hero (SB)
2 folds, CO raises to $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, Hero raises to $7.50, BB folds, CO calls $5.75, BTN folds

Flop: ($17.25) 6 T J (2 Players)
Hero bets $8, CO calls $8

Turn: ($33.25) 8 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $22.50, Hero raises to $43.80 and is All-In, CO calls $14.75 and is All-In

River: ($107.75) 3 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $107.75 Pot ($3 Rake)
CO showed Q 9 (a straight, Queen high) and WON $104.75 (+$52 NET)
Hero showed J J (three of a kind, Jacks) and LOST (-$52.75 NET)

A few hands after... Villain was virtually unknown too... Some would say that cbet is too small... I think it is, somewhere between 12-15 I should've bet, but if he calls 3bet with Q9s, he calls any cbet here for sure... It makes me puke how the RNG gives them...

hand 3:

CO: $61.45
BTN: $232.55
Hero (SB): $54.35
BB: $50
UTG: $50

Pre-Flop: A A dealt to Hero (SB)
UTG raises to $1.75, CO folds, BTN calls $1.75, Hero raises to $7.50, BB folds, UTG calls $5.75, BTN calls $5.75

Flop: ($23) J 8 J (3 Players)
Hero bets $12, UTG calls $12, BTN raises to $225.05 and is All-In, Hero calls $34.85 and is All-In, UTG calls $30.50 and is All-In

Turn: ($159.20) K (3 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($159.20) 7 (3 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $159.20 Pot ($3 Rake)
BTN showed K 6 (two pair, Kings and Jacks) and LOST (-$54.35 NET)
Hero showed A A (two pair, Aces and Jacks) and WON $8.70 (-$45.65 NET)
UTG showed 8 8 (a full house, Eights full of Jacks) and WON $147.50 (+$97.50 NET)

I had no time to breathe and I get this... BTN was a fish, no worries about him, instead
UTG is 25/19. I 3bet him two hands ago so I might have no credibility. I think I should make 3bet a little bit bigger, but I can't fold there...

hand 4:

Hero (BTN): $63.25
SB: $50.75
BB: $19.50
UTG: $90.25
CO: $60.45

Pre-Flop: A Q dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG raises to $1.75, CO folds, Hero calls $1.75, 2 folds

Flop: ($4.25) 9 2 4 (2 Players)
UTG bets $3, Hero raises to $9, UTG raises to $29, Hero raises to $61.50 and is All-In, UTG calls $32.50

Turn: ($127.25) 2 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($127.25) Q (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $127.25 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed A Q (two pair, Queens and Twos) and WON $124.25 (+$61 NET)
UTG showed T 8 (a pair of Twos) and LOST (-$63.25 NET)

It was the biggest pot I won.. Villain was kind of nitty but I really can't fold such a draw... It was a big relief when he turnd T high FD...

It's hard to see green at the end of the session when you start like this...

Session 5, august 6th, 50nl, 6 tables:



I end up taking one day off.. I needed it and also, hopefully FTP would fix they RNG. The nightmare seems to be gone. Now I have to revenge the loss and see green again..

Let's analyze:

Biggest pots won:

hand 1:

MP: $41.50
CO: $172.25
BTN: $96.25
SB: $23.70
Hero (BB): $99.75
UTG: $88.25

Pre-Flop: K A dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG calls $0.50, MP folds, CO raises to $2.25, 2 folds, Hero raises to $7.50, UTG calls $7, CO calls $5.25

Flop: ($22.75) T K 3 (3 Players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets $14.75, Hero raises to $50, UTG calls $50, CO folds

Turn: ($137.50) 7 (2 Players)
Hero bets $42.25 and is All-In, UTG calls $30.75 and is All-In

River: ($199) J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $199 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed K A (a pair of Kings) and WON $196 (+$107.75 NET)
UTG showed 8 J (a pair of Jacks) and LOST (-$88.25 NET)

Original raiser was running 47/33 fold 3bet 0% AF 2.3. UTG instead was 79/13 fold 3bet 0% AF 2.3. Both over only 30-40 hands. UTG was in every pot and was kind of tilted and a big bluffer. I elected c/r here hoping the original raiser will bet the flop as he did. My TPTK was good here.

hand 2:

BTN: $56.90
SB: $103.85
Hero (BB): $67.65
UTG: $50
MP: $49.40
CO: $50.10

Pre-Flop: 7 7 dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG raises to $1.75, 4 folds, Hero calls $1.25

Flop: ($3.75) J 7 T (2 Players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $2, Hero raises to $7.75, UTG calls $5.75

Turn: ($19.25) 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $18.25, UTG raises to $40.50 and is All-In, Hero calls $22.25

River: ($100.25) 7 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $100.25 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 7 7 (four of a kind, Sevens) and WON $97.25 (+$47.25 NET)
UTG showed J 9 (two pair, Jacks and Sevens) and LOST (-$50 NET)

Villain was unknown but on the nitty side... I was very surprised when he turned me J9s...

Biggest loss:

hand 3:

UTG: $50
MP: $28.25
Hero (CO): $121.95
BTN: $87.75
SB: $34.55
BB: $50.65

Pre-Flop: A K dealt to Hero (CO)
UTG folds, MP calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.50, BTN folds, SB calls $2.25, BB folds, MP calls $2

Flop: ($8) 9 K 3 (3 Players)
SB bets $5, MP folds, Hero calls $5

Turn: ($18) T (2 Players)
SB bets $13, Hero raises to $28, SB calls $14.05 and is All-In

River: ($72.10) J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $72.10 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed A K (a pair of Kings) and LOST (-$34.55 NET)
SB showed 9 T (two pair, Tens and Nines) and WON $69.10 (+$34.55 NET)

Villain was a big donk running 40/15, 3bet 13 with AF 3.1. He loves to donk bet pots even when they are multway. I don't raise the flop because I am ahead of his range. I elect to raise the turn because I think he can't fold here anything he has. Unfortunatelly he sucked out on me.

hand 4:

MP: $16.95
CO: $56.05
Hero (BTN): $91.60
SB: $11.65
BB: $55.45
UTG: $49.95

Pre-Flop: A T dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, MP calls $0.50, CO folds, Hero raises to $2.50, SB calls $2.25, BB folds, MP calls $2

Flop: ($8) T 6 8 (3 Players)
SB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $6, SB folds, MP calls $6

Turn: ($20) 4 (2 Players)
MP bets $8.45 and is All-In, Hero calls $8.45

River: ($36.90) 6 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $36.90 Pot ($1.80 Rake)
MP showed 9 A (a flush, Ace high) and WON $35.10 (+$18.15 NET)
Hero showed A T (two pair, Tens and Sixes) and LOST (-$16.95 NET)

Villain is a donk, 60/0 over a small sample of 40 hands. I think I can't fold the turn. Once again I am sucked out on the turn.

Session 4, august 4nd, 50nl, 6 tables:



I am starting to lose my patience and confidence. It seems I can't win a pot when I am favorite... What to do? I have no f***ng ideea.. Let's analyze:

Hero showed K K (a pair of Kings) and LOST (-$53.70 NET)
SB showed J J (a flush, Jack high) and WON $106.65 (+$52.95 NET)

Bad luck, bad beat... I knew from the start he is having AK, QQ or JJ => 76% equity... So, I have to call... After seeing the flop I was sure that the runner runner flush will come... Villain was 28/23... Damn

hand 2:

SB: $49
BB: $25
UTG: $73.10
Hero (CO): $110.55
BTN: $142.85

Pre-Flop: A A dealt to Hero (CO)

Hero showed A A (a pair of Aces) and LOST (-$25 NET)

Villain was 33/7 with a fold to cbet of 56%. I should've fold, maybe... The line c/c, c/r at these stakes is a set... But after this cursed run what could I do?

hand 3:

BTN: $21.45
SB: $14.45
Hero (BB): $57.30

MP: $10.25

Hero showed A A (a pair of Aces) and LOST (-$21.45 NET)
MP showed J J (a straight, Queen high) and WON $14.75 (+$4.50 NET)

hand 4:

UTG: $50
MP: $44.80
CO: $52.10
Hero (BTN): $64.60
SB: $68.80
BB: $105.95

Hero showed A K (two pair, Aces and Kings) and LOST (-$52.10 NET)

Villain is 23/16 AF 1.00 over 75 hands... I just can't fold AKs here... KK+ shoves pf and damn, I have a BDFD also.... I hate how the f***ng RNG gives it to me... But seriously, when I 3bet AK I put all my money when I see an A or a K...

hand 5:

BB: $110.15
UTG: $26.25
Hero (MP): $76.35
CO: $50.75
BTN: $40.20
SB: $40.90

Villain is 27/7, AF 1.4... He calls cbet 67% and folds to 2nd barell in 75% of cases... He is a lucky donk and I really can't c/f the river here... It seems to weak... He might have a set or an over pair... It's funny how FTP gives them the nuts all the time...

hand 6:

CO: $35
Hero (BTN): $53.50
SB: $49.50
BB: $59.65
UTG: $49.25

Pre-Flop: T K dealt to Hero (BTN)

BB checks, Hero bets $3, BB raises to $13.25, Hero calls $10.25

Turn: ($30.75) 8 (2 Players)
BB bets $30.75, Hero folds

Results: $30.75 Pot ($1.50 Rake)
BB mucked and WON $29.25 (+$14 NET)

Villain is 38/13, AF 1.2 over 100 hands. He calls cbet 60% and folds to 2nd barell 50% of the time... It seems my bet to small on the turn but also I am pretty sure I can't throw him away with his lame pair... I got rivered once again and I can't understand why. I tend to believe that FTP is rigged now.. bleah

hand 7:

CO: $80.60
BTN: $7.75
Hero (SB): $50
BB: $60.90
UTG: $57.95
MP: $139.85

Hero bets $3, MP raises to $6, Hero calls $3

River: ($15.50) J (2 Players)
Hero checks, MP bets $15.50, Hero calls $15.50

Results: $46.50 Pot ($2.30 Rake)
Hero mucked 4 5 4 5 (a flush, Queen high) and LOST (-$23 NET)
MP showed A 7 (a flush, Ace high) and WON $44.20 (+$21.20 NET)

Villain is 67/8 with AF of 2.7 over 65 hands... He is too aggressive for his vpip so that's why I elect to go to showdown with my flush... Again, it's very funny the FTP RNG that gives them again the nuts against me...

Session 3, august 3nd, 50nl, 6 tables:



I am starting to wonder about my game... It's the second session in a row I end up in red for more than one buy in... For sure I am very unlucky latelly but I should keep my mind clear of the beats and keep on playing my A game... Some hands:

hand 1:

UTG: $86.15
BTN: $24.60
SB: $34.10
Hero (BB): $53.30

Pre-Flop: A A dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG raises to $1.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $6, UTG calls $4.25

Flop: ($12.25) J 4 J (2 Players)
Hero bets $6.50, UTG calls $6.50

Turn: ($25.25) K (2 Players)
Hero bets $13, UTG calls $13

River: ($51.25) 9 (2 Players)
Hero bets $27.80 and is All-In, UTG calls $27.80

Results: $106.85 Pot ($2 Rake)
UTG showed J K (a full house, Jacks full of Kings) and WON $104.85 (+$51.55 NET)
Hero showed A A (two pair, Aces and Jacks) and LOST (-$53.30 NET)

Villain was 23/17 3bet 7.3, call 3bet 50%, AF 0.8, Att. to steal 44% over 120 hands. I think my line is ok, my bet sizing it's ok to suck all his stack, just if only the RNG wouldn't be such a mother ****er. Why do I say my line is ok? Well, he is too passive to bet a TT or QQ here, or even AK on the turn... I think he would shove KK pf and JJ is less probably to have.. Anyways a J beats the crap out of me...

hand 2:

UTG: $15.70
CO: $70.15
BTN: $50.50
SB: $74.45
Hero (BB): $96.35

Pre-Flop: T T dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG raises to $1, 3 folds, Hero raises to $96.35 and is All-In, UTG calls $14.70 and is All-In

Flop: ($31.65) 9 3 J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Turn: ($31.65) J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($31.65) 7 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $31.65 Pot ($1.55 Rake)
UTG showed 9 9 (a full house, Nines full of Jacks) and WON $30.10 (+$14.40 NET)
Hero showed T T (two pair, Jacks and Tens) and LOST (-$15.70 NET)

Standard hand vs a donk 44/11... No comments about this hand, just that it makes you losing your confidence and it gets you mad.

hand 3:

UTG: $48.50
CO: $22.50
BTN: $121.75
SB: $10.50

Session 2, august 2nd, 50nl, 6 tables:



I stink! I stink! I stink! I stink! It started with this hand:

Hero showed T 9 (a flush, Queen high) and LOST (-$107.55 NET)

I think I couldn't do much with this... It was in the beginning of the session, it's very hard to start with -2BI.

Soon after:

SB: $92.10
BB: $115
UTG: $100
Hero (CO): $142.40
BTN: $52.50

Pre-Flop: 4 A dealt to Hero (CO)

Hero mucked 4 A 4 A (a flush, Ace high) and LOST (-$92.10 NET)

I think after this hand I was lost. Maybe I should've close the session here: -4BI and done...

Another 2 hands:

BB: $81.85
UTG: $52.50
MP: $82.35
CO: $86.20

CO showed 9 6 (a full house, Nines full of Sixes) and WON $134.95 (+$66.35 NET)

Ok! I am starting a poker blog from now on. I wanna watch my progress, hopefully, through this blog. First entry... hmm... well, I am playing 50nl on FTP, I am running quite well, with a 10bb/100 but I can do better for sure. I played for a while on PartyPoker and winning something like 5ptbb/100 at 50nl, but I decided to move to another site with rakeback.

Session 1, august 1st, 50nl, 6 tables:



The session started with a bad beat to a SS (~20bb) with AA vs 44 all in on the rag flop and the turn came a 4. Later I managed to get 3 streets of value with AA vs QQ on rag flop and with KK vs 99 the same. The session was up 75$ until I lost my concentration, don't know why. And I lost a stack in HU BvB with TPTK vs bottom set vs a nit. And a little after I had this hand:

UTG: $75.55
MP: $54.30
Hero (CO): $58.40
BTN: $53.50
SB: $65.95
BB: $54.30

Pre-Flop: 9 9 dealt to Hero (CO)
UTG raises to $2, MP folds, Hero calls $2, BTN calls $2, SB raises to $10.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $58.40 and is All-In, BTN folds, SB calls $47.90

Flop: ($121.30) T A 4 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Turn: ($121.30) 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
River: ($121.30) 8 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $121.30 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 9 9 (a pair of Nines) and LOST (-$58.40 NET)
SB showed Q Q (a pair of Queens) and WON $118.30 (+$59.90 NET)

Villain was a slag runnig smtgh like 30/26, 3bet 11.4 and I don't know why was on tilt... Finally I managed to finish break even but I am really dissappointed. My game sucked real hard and this was a session I should've won 2bi or smtgh. Here's the graph. Cheers!
