My goals suck, but I might as well post them...
1. Play 5k hands at 0.05 / 0.10 - I know that is low but I'm trying to keep good bankroll Mangement. 2. Final table a Tournament 3. Win $200 4. Try to play in atleast one league event. |
I hate thinking about that. Having been stacked more times than I would like in the last 2 weeks, I can't help but look at the PT graphs and wonder what if...Good luck with the goals this month.
|
Okay, from now on, i'm offering a $200 reward if anyone catches me playing poker until the 12th of November.
usernames: MyPetTurtle on Stars and FTP and LAGTARD on Pacific. gotta study. |
Define "catches you." Do we have to catch you in the act, or it is ok if we point it out later on that day?
Cause I wouldn't mind a free two hundey. |
Screenshot of me playing, hand history or Sharkscope screenshot (please note that the bunch of $100/$200 SNGs i recently played were before the above message).
Thanks guys |
Traveling a lot this month, and when I'm not traveling I've got a lot of time sensitive projects at work. therefore...
1. Get Pokertracker and get it configured. 2. Spend as much time analyzing my play as I do playing. |
I want to hit 1 grand by the end of the month. I also would like to get laid at least 4 times this month by the wife. Well hopefully I hit $1000 anyway.
|
had to make correction in mine, decided not to play this. |
I haven't been playing as much poker as I used to lately. Mostly I'm only online when trying to clear a bonus. But here are mine.
1. Since I've been playing mostly cash games to clear the bonuses and I prefer tourneys. Play at least one tournament this month (excluding the TP league). 2. Play in at least one more league game. |
haaaaaaaahahahahaha. :thumbsup:

Now that is a good day !! Congrats !!
|
Damn, son... that's one hell of a day! I'll consider me asking you last night how you were doing for the month the GL that you needed!
I haven't played a single hand today. :( But that's ok, cause I'm winning a PCA seat tomorrow and cashing in the Iron Man freeroll. Consider those bonus goals for my list. |
Jesus. Christ. I played 1,000 hands today at 2/4 NL. I won......$245. I suck |
exams are over, time to play (it's nov 11, but meh, contest closed) |
Well, we're halfway through the month, so I guess it's time for an update. Wrapping up my worst day EVER right now, this update is gonna sting. Ugh. Today was really, really, really bad (down about $4000). I feel like I played ok for the most part, but I also missed damn near every flop for 600 hands (is that even possible???), and my opponents just clobbered me. The funny thing is, I didn't even have very many HUGE pots where I got stacked or anything... it was just a very annoying downward spiral all day long. On thing I have learned is that the good opponents at 5/10 NL are a LOT better than the good ones at 3/6. They are MUCH more aggressive, 3 and 4 betting regularly. This doesn't go so well with my style, where I like to be the aggressive one. No tilt, btw.
Anyway, enough crying... on to the goals: 1. I'll make this goal easily. I have 8800 hands logged - 2000 of 5/10 and all the rest 3/6. 2. This shouldn't be a problem either. I've only "missed" two days, meaning I can miss 3 more this month and still make it. 3. Hmmm... I think I've only made ONE so far in November. Guess I'm gonna need to get on that - I should have made one today instead of getting my ass handed to me all day long. 4. Yesterday, I was on pace for this. Today, not so much. I didn't quite piss away ALL of my winnings for the month, but I am up just $1700 now.... That's a LONG way from $10,000, but I can honestly say that I have been running pretty badly this month. Yes, it could definitely be worse (I had a couple of streaks where I ran well), but overall, I've definitely been running below average this month... at least I hope I have been. |
I've decided I need to work on my 8+ tabling skills. So, if you see me at a shitload of 2/4 tables, I'm not busto.
|
My worst streak ever, by a lot, has continued for yet another day. Yes, I won a very nice Bahamas trip in the middle of said streak last night, but in cash games, I am running colder than I thought possible. I don't feel like it has effected my play much, but realistically, IT HAS TO BE. I don't see how it couldn't. If nothing else, it's affected how my opponents see me at the tables (as a loser), which will make them more likely to call me down (since I lose so many showdowns), and that doesn't go very well with a frigid deck. I could completely change my style for a while, and I may need to.... I don't even know.
I'm not sure why I'm posting this in this thread. I guess it's because I've gotten my 10k hands in now but I am WELL down for the month... MY $10k goal is pretty much an impossibility now... I'd be happy if I could just get back to even for the month. I cashed out a lot of my Neteller account last week (thinking I wouldn't need the money online anytime soon and hating that it was sitting there earning 0% interest), and I'm really glad I did. Right now, my online bankroll (which is obviously not my true bankroll) is pretty tight. I'm going to try to rebuild here without reloading... I may move down a level for a while or I may take a break all together. I'm not sure yet. but I'm sick of losing large sums of money day after day after day because of (mostly) SICK variance. |
With your style TP, variance will definitely be much greater than others. I think the regulars are probably starting to bluff check/raise you a lot more knowing you cbet the flop far greater than most.
|
+7k from 3000 hands so far this month....
|
Damn regulars!
If that was the extent of it, that would be one thing... but I'm getting my money in with the best of it and being drawn out on a LOT more than one would expect. And I'm just not getting big hands either. And when there is a big hand vs. bigger hand situation, I seem to be on the losing end of it (regardless of which hand I held) about 80 or 90% of the time. I think you are right about the regulars though...... |

Yes, I recall. So, reverse roles - you're me. How do you play AK differently here?

if i were you, firstly i'd practice better table selection (lol kidding)
i usually play this the same way, except sometimes i'll check back the flop. |
