day 9
well the variance in poker is crazy, its insane how bad im running
and i guess i tilted some cuz i played Horrible tonight.

the combination of the two cost me another awesome 3,200

overall: 8200.
cant beleive im still 100 ahead.

im pissed i dn what is goin on.
tomorrow my classes are done at freakin 9:50.
i might have to try to remember how to win.

Zybomb 09-15-06 03:30 AM

You've already made over 2 and half times this year what an average person makes all year.... you have nothing to lose. You're playing 10/20, there's goin to be varience...

JDMcNugent7 09-15-06 04:59 AM

ya im bein a little bitch about it so far.
if some1 else posted what i posted this would probably be my response too, or meaner.
i have been acting like 3200 is the end of the world when its not even 2 buy ins.
im just not used to some of the variance at 10/20 i guess. oh well.

Aequitas58 09-15-06 12:51 PM

Like you said, it's not even two buyins.

Man up and play poker.

Talking Poker 09-15-06 06:05 PM

So play 5/10 for a while.

Talking Poker 09-18-06 12:42 AM

Looks like you've got a chance to give your roll a BIG boost right now.... oh how I wish I had a piece of you in this tourney! GL champ.

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 12:44 AM

u do realize avg. stack has 100k more.
mayhem has 5% - that slacker.

Talking Poker 09-18-06 12:51 AM

Yes, I do. And you do realize that ONE double up puts you right back in this.... you could easily FT this, if not win. Think positive.

And yeah, he's a total slacker. Then again, I believe I'd paid you more than you've paid me lifetime with our swaps (who would have thunk it???). :)

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 12:55 AM

Barely.

Talking Poker 09-18-06 01:02 AM

More is more... SLACKER! :cool:

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 01:50 AM

eh, sucked.
thx.
played good. hate the ugliness in how i went out tho.

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 02:35 AM

why do i play tournaments?
sick how i just made more in 25 min 3 tabling 5/10 at bodog than i did from the LONGASS tourny.
def. the fastest ive ever built my stack up to 5k at a 5/10 table. - i ran kinda good - nothing extreme -ppl were Handing me $. insane

too bad i started the day off by wakin up and playing 10/20 in a much more hungover state than i thought - dropping 4k in about 15 min. - pushing river bluffs both times.
huge party foul.
i also woke up to realize i lost my clothes and phone at the toga party - later, luckily friends found both at 2 seperate places. except they decided to look thru the pics on the phone with some revealing pics of the GF. lol kinda sucky. no big deal - except they all sent the pics to their phones. lol idiots.

anyway.

today, day 13:
today: +3,100
overall: 29,200

MAYHEM45 09-18-06 09:23 AM


Pretty sure I have too. Although the 180 bucks in my account this morning is a good start :D GG

GeoffM 09-18-06 10:00 AM

JD, check PMs :D ...just kidding.

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 11:58 AM

no way.

Talking Poker 09-18-06 01:41 PM

I'm having trouble following this post. It's very confusing. Please post the pics here to clear things up.

GeoffM 09-18-06 02:27 PM

A very reasonable request :thumbsup:

JDMcNugent7 09-18-06 09:49 PM

i run Horrible?
day 14: -9700

today was one of the sickest days i can remember - either being cold decked or losing QQ to ATo all in for 5k pot. i seriously could Not win a big hand. all day i just got sucked out on.
i played 1 hand horrible for 1k as well when i kinda tilted and right after i quit. but the rest i dont think i could have done anything different.

poker can be so sick. its all about getting through it though. hell im still ahead of schedul somehow.

overall:19,500

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 01:13 AM

day 14: -12,000
overall: +17200

couldnt edit. but i played more and tilted more.:thumbsup:
im gonna be good from now on tho

Defendant 09-19-06 01:19 AM

guessing you mean + 17200? :p

Edit: nevermind, I suck at reading comprehension

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 01:24 AM

ya, ur right. fixed it.
thx.

Talking Poker 09-19-06 01:52 AM

How many hands have you logged so far this month? I'd like to see that number in these posts too, if possible...

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 01:53 AM

all bodog so i have no clue.
not very many tho honestly. being i keep playing 10/20 9 handed since thats all they offer on bodog.

Talking Poker 09-19-06 02:04 AM

See, I don't get that.... Why not play 6 max 5/10 (or 10/20 if you really must) at Party or FullTilt, where you can use PT to track everything and get RB, while playing with better software too? Are the players at Bodog really that much worse to make up for everything it's lacking? IMO, they can't be.

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 02:15 AM

yes, they are.

Talking Poker 09-19-06 02:25 AM

Wow. Guess I'll have to give it a whirl sometime. That flat out floors me.

I wonder if the lower levels (I've been playing 6 max 3/6 NL) are significantly worse too. The only explanation I can think of if that a lot of these players are sports betters from Bodog giving poker a whirl... I'll bet that's it.

Tony Cheval 09-19-06 03:03 AM

I know it's a pitiful sample size, but I played 3 10+1 SnGs today.

Results: 1 1st, 1 2nd, and 1 4th (stupid river 3 outa).

The way I've been running lately...you work it out. :p

Boobie Lover 09-19-06 03:29 AM

Trust me when I say that Bodog 3/6 6max plays like .5/1 and 1/2 everywhere else.

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 12:56 PM

im taking a break for a few days, maybe rest of the week.
i might play some wcoop tournies but thats all.

JDMcNugent7 09-19-06 11:36 PM

day 15:

ya i played, im an idiot.
i am Running Horrible. i seriously did not tilt once today, but played too much 10/20 which killed me. Esp this crazy pot at bodog i managed to lose:

10/20 NL, i raise to 100 with AJ suited spades.

3 callers. KT8 flop ALL SPADES - nut flush for me.
A leads for 400. B raises all in 3k. C calls 2k. I call 3k. A folds.

turn blank, river 8. B had TT, C had KK, and my nut flush is killed. (9k pot)

later i lost set over set, and A2 lost to 67 on 345 flop. i suck.

this has to be my 2 worst days ever in a row.
today: -11,100
overall: 6,100

ya. im def not playing until Friday. (ill get caught up on some schoolwork)
only the wccop tournies if anything.

i went on to talk to 2 guys i know who play 10/20 exclusively. both understood how much it sucked, esp since i just moved up, but said its more common than you would think. i mean i guess with that many aggro ppl at this high stakes its pretty hard to avoid the sick variance that comes with it. however, im pretty sure i caught a sick string of variance to start off (first being really positive and now really negative).

anyway. it sucks. im ready for a break. doing good in a wcoop event would sure turn things around :). but cant plan on that. I still think I can make the goal, but damn it looked like i was going to completely destroy it.
