Long session = no val

hey now
haven't posted for a while so thought would give update on my current poker life.
achieved task of doubling bankroll last friday at npc (me and adam had grind on the mind) and was now concentrating on playing 6max $20sng.
Decided to play earlier in week, which was not a good idea. i had had some work on at uni, and lack of sleep and just decided to play for the sake of it. this resulted in less than optimal play and me managing to lose about -$100 from my BR. I still do this from time to time, which annoys me as i wish i had some more discipline and knew when i am going to play my best and not.
Punished myself by going back down to $10 6msx sngs where i thought i would grind back the $100 i lost. Was actually 4 tabling for a while, which had some mixed success. i suppose i would have to save some hand historys to review how well i was playing in key spots. though managed to get back the $100 i had lost.
played 2 more $10 sngs and cashed in one and decided was time to get back to the $20s.
I don't know if its cause i lost $100 other day but felt i have been running pretty bad lately, mainly online and a litttle bit live.
Out of the 4 $22 sngs i played i cashed in one for 2nd, where i got 90% of chips in with top pair on turn agasint a bare flush draw that he hit no problem.
then was 3handed, and second in chips. chip leader was bb i was button with jjs blinds were 80/160. make it 400 from the button that i had been doing consitently short handed. chip leader shipped i called (as he had been shoving all in from the first level instead of raising) he had kq - flop q 10 10, turn k (got a lil bit exicted at his point) river k - cheers then.
Playing the third one was chip leader, then lost two 60, 40s agasint short stacks to put me short.
then lost a final one to knock me out on bubble. then full tilt decided to save best one till last which was as follows;

Again value of blog helping to see if i'm playing alright and steaming me off.
Going to call it a night now. playing tommorow at uni for poker soc where looking forward to good tourney adam has set up. £25 f/o- 10k starting stack blinds start at like 20 40 or something with 40min levels. And hoping to play the £10 rebuy at NPC in sat where there is minimum £1k for first prize. Heres hoping i run good over weekend.
now going to watch episode of the wire, what i spossibly the greatest show ever created.
laters. x

ROCKY Soundtrack FTW

Listen when they gooooo Oweeeeeee Karlsson!!! in end, and lol at Adam pretending he doesnt understand "no foto" meaning no photo in spanish :) sick clip and obv he had no idea it was already filing when i gave it to him...lol

Hi

Hi,

Haven't posted for a bit, with EU cwk and seminars, and other stuff, plus actually playing poker, time has slipped away.. :D Anyways..

I haven't hand any hands that are particularly special, was playing a $22 HU SNG earlier. .out of my BR really, but having just reg'd on SharkScope, thought I would play this fish...

vitia86 399 -$2 $28 -2% -$832 Tilt

He is down, with -2% ROI, but the thing for me, is his bad run.. this guy is on one hell of a tilt streak it would seem..

Anyways.. I have about 2:1 chip lead for most of the game, make it into 3:1, and then with blinds at 50-100, he starts shipping all the time.. he gets down to 600 behind and ships, I think it is 60:40 that my J9 is good, and even if he doubles through I still have 2:1 chip lead on him, so, I am happy to call..

He has T2 turning pair of deuces, so my J9, with flopped J, holds up, which is nice.. :D

Anyways.. havent had a chance to play a huge amount of online, played in the charity tournament at UEA on tuesday, -£8 in tournament, but cash tables... laaacckky ol' Mark.. turning £10 into ~£55..

Large chunk of which was getting in cheapish with 9-9 flopping set, and getting everything in against pocket Qs..

Nothing else remarkable really...

Anyways.. on we go... tomorrow is EU coursework, and so is weekend probably.... no val.. May get a chance to do some online, or a little live micro stakes SNG/ Cash, but prob not..

Hola what uuuuuuup!

Today only played 3 games won 2 and lost 1 the one i lost was when limping with AA vs spewy wild fish, who like i thought pushed, he had 22 flop was 1010J K then of course 2 on river, i had him covered slightly and doubled up once more beofre losing a 65-35%all in for decent stack and what prob lead to win, oh well... playing very well at the moment, and avoiding beats.

roll now over 8k with the rakeback that i treated myself to, so thats good :) wasnt long ago i did the little project with the 5k startover :)) Hopefully i can roll this up to 10k before end of month, but im happy with what a fish like me can get !!

Going to get my haircut, its ALMOST a symphaty haircut, my buddy here looks like a champinjon and really needs one and im gonna force him to cut that horrible thing off lol!

will play more tonight, and soon weekend so will treat myself to like min 100 games then :)

Peace out!

good day to die

Hejsan!

Today has been good, only had time for a few games but so far so good:)
46$x5 so won all games today pretty handy :) 230$. was really lucky once J32 flop vs fish who pushed had him covered bit more than 2:1 chiplead hence the loose call with J8 off he had AJ and i spike 8 on river :) The other game i kinda got lucky too, i was being uberaggresive and reraised flop och 678 with J10 then 5 fell and he min bet and i bet 75% and he thinks then calls with Q10 and river brings abeautiful 9 and he insta shovs, obv i call and win!

other than that was just playing well and grinding them down, one guy kept calling my raises and folding oop which was welcome, didnt play a single profit player, which i obv always tend to avoid :)

Just won another game a 100 game, vs uber fish

zvigos 412 -$12 $27 -36% -$4,961 Tilt

happy days!

now gonna do some homework, maybe reg for a comp then sleep, probs just sleep tbh:)

Run well fellas!
its gonna be a good month*!

Hola phuckers!

Today, playe dlike 10 games so far, came home from school super knackered and just wanted to sleep for a while, played one game first which i won easy, then watched new High stakes poker which was real cool :) Durrr just seems like an uber arrogant idiot imo, looking forward to see Ilari start mixing it he is def one of my fav players.. hope he takes durr for a few big pots!

had a sick long siesta, was wonderful althou slept for too long, started playing awhile ago and had a crap start, Lost 3 in a row vs same dude he was horrible real easy to play but he kept getting lucky agasint me, then after goin of slightly in the chat offered him up to a 100 game, than ended up in 3 of them, non turbo of course, his luck ran out and i scoped all 3 :) so up for the day.

Talked to Jeal today and he reckosn he will play more games than me, good luck chuck is all i can say about that hehe, not that i play uberly much but no chance buddy!

was thinking of my game today and one thing i do much vs a little bit better players is i tend to 3 bet them more, never do that unless i have pretty solid hand vs fish cause they anyway call and its harder to play deep big pots when u cant put them on any hands...


hmmm i saw some HUSNG coaching vids the other day and must say they were horrilble, well tbh they werent bug players but still...awful, and the players had like 1% ROI and not that great stats, weird i wonder if anyone buys their service hehe..

anyway playing now will have to focus a tad

cheerios!

*New month new ambitions

Hi as you know last month was terrible for me, but managed to recover from being about 1800 down to 270 down so atleast that was good :)
Somehow scraped enough games to get over 1k in rakeback and that is obviously welcome, so all in all up for the month.

This month have a goal of making 2k min, hopefully without including the rakeback but we will see.
Today will deposit a feww 100s on partypoker to try out those seas, will be playing very lowish, but u can always follow the progress or lack of at sharkscope.com.

Pretty much it, been playing good and running pretty gd lately, just need to get the games in :)

Going to gym at 5 today and now i will be doing some homework tonight be grinding and hopefully scooping the party stundetn thingy.

Peace out!
