Not playing on the sideline
on my last updast was winning 3.9K in two nights (after giving 1.5K away) I think IJ might be right in sticking to live poker. I just cant seem to win online in 6max 100BB poker. Iv played 12K hands on 10NL (mostly trying my hardest) and am losing 11 BI's (-7 with rakeback). I dont care about losing $100. I do care about losing 1000BB's though. I'd like to say im gonna put more volume in at 10NL but the live games are so good at the moment I think i've gotta stick with them for the time being to get my roll up as high as possible then focus online for the long term once these new fish have gone busto.
Back to the casino: next two nights I won £700 and £1250. The 1250 game was sick. first pot Im involved in with some middle aged guy who thought he was the nuts (read dickhead) and wants to 'bust some young punks' raises me on a board of J966hh and I hold AKx, I thought I was good so call with the intention of check calling most rivers. Tx and he tanks for ever and shoves I think for ever and fold b/c it completes so many strt draws and bare T's (which i think hes shoving as a bluff). So I try to get reads off him but still undecided so I opt to fold as I cant place him on many hands hes called my raise with PF. obv he flips over 45o like a hero. WP sir. sick if a 4or5 drops on the river cause I call him! Haha. After thinking about that hand I feel like I really should Bet3BetAI on the turn as hes probably calling with all his draws and it puts me in a tough spot on the river where I intend to chk/call any non heart which isnt a Q/T/8. In this case it does drive out all of his complete air but overall I think a shove is more profitable. On the BB with A9s complete the straddle who makes it 10more, everyone calls. I decide A9 is ahead of the straddler and raise another 52. He snap shoved ~200 and im like wft! I thouhgt you didnt have a hand! Can I fold A9s here? Never! j/k but I call after a little deliberation he says tell me if you hit. I dont. Do you have A-high? you probably have me then. flashes me A6, mucks and leaves. No other 'regs' round the table and everyones like WTF was that? youre an idiot! HAHA Eventually Im sat with 1500 and its 3 handed vs a drunk kid with 500 and a guy who bet 20 on a 2d3d4dAdx board then called another 101 with the Jd. whilst he was thinking about what to do I videod what he was saying b/c it fucking hilarious how he just wasnt ever going to fold and talked himself into it! (took inspiration of which ever one of you recorded that donk a few weeks ago!) Unfortunately its a shit video cause I didnt want to make it too obvious I was recording it. This guy is sat with~1000 and suggests raising the blinds. not that it matters because they were both calling any raise up to 50 PF. Theres about 30 in the pot by the river and the action goes pissed kid 10 raise to20 pissed kid 70 rasie to150. 'Ah you fucker I thought you were bluffing' and flips over Q4 for air. the other guy says the same and flips over K6 for air. Soul reads!? I think not! The next hand It was straddled to 10 I limp QQ and the pissed kid looks at the other guy and says "call this" and shoves 440 into the pot. and shits himself when he realises im in and call. he had 88 so I run it twice. first card out is an 8 and he eventually manages to leave with his stack!Now for some recent stupidity I drop 850 playing DC like an idiot after I busted 3 reentries in the tournament within 20hands, went home because I was playing so badly. I then went back to the casino with the intention of gambling with 250 and play like a dick! decide its a losse game and reload a few times. Eventually did some revision for my exam on saturday evening for monday afternoon. I nail it, well it went about as good as it could have for the ammount of work iv done. But ill be shocked if its not 2.2 standard after the results I got last year had even less quotes/references in and I averaged a low 2.2 (51%) but we shall see. I come home pissed and load up every 7/10 game on FTP upto 2/4. I recall managing not to sit on 15/30 which I suppose I should be happy about. Think I made about 15bucks? I come home after my exam on monday (woke up at 6am with 4hrs sleep) half cut and enter every tournament in sight about 2am. I went mental in a $10 turbo satalitle into the 1K tuesday (was in for ~350?) and i bubble KK vs AT. YUK then first orbit in 50/50 on FTP I open to 75 with KK get 3bet to 280 so I shove and AQ sends me to the rail. Im in for about 500 on stars and 150 on FTP. and get down to the final table outa ~1150 runners where I get it in with AA v KK v QQ and a Q binks. 7th for ~800$ 6K woulda been nice but I guess I should be happy to recoup from spazzing out in the qualifier. Last night I butchered a hand. basically flopped setoverset and we both slow played, which ive never done and let a back door gutshot take it. 3476 and he leads for £35 I flat call b/c I know he hasnt got the 5 and the guy behind tanks for ages before calling. river 8. he checks and I bet 82 for value b/c I think he'll call that as he just wont believe I have him beat. the guy behind ships for another 40. Im certain hes got 9T so I lose like 200 instead of getting it all in for another 400 on the flop and winning a 900 pot. ARRRGHH! IDIOT! This sunday Im playing 28comps. at a mark up of 1:1.25 still got a little action which id like to sell my ROI on FTP is 42% over 1050 comps. on stars its -20% over 770 comps but I think that skewed as it drops to -4% w/o rebuys? $54 per % heres the link to what Im playing http://www.leggopoker.com/blogs/king...ment-9302.html
