Day # 31

Today i only played for a few hours so this will be a short post. I had some pretty good results in the little amount of time i actually played. I wasn't even going to play at all today but i figured i would play in a few tournaments while i was sitting around. So my plan was to play 10/20nl for like a half hour to win money to pay for my tournaments and a half hour later i am up about 1k, not bad. So i quit playing the 10/20 when the tournaments started which was a big mistake because i absolutely sucked in the tournaments and the 10/20 game was pretty weak. I busted out of the tournaments about an hour and a half in so i decided rather that quit playing i would try some more pot limit Omaha. I played the 3/6 game which was playing pretty soft and i was picking up some good hands so i was able to turn my 600 into about 1100 after a few hours. Unfortunately i was playing on my laptop and i cant transfer over the hand histories to my desktop so i cant post any of my hands from today. Well that pretty much sums up my short session from today so with that being said goodnight and I'm out

Day # 30

Today was an ok day for poker and a SPECTACULAR valentines day. I had such a great time because i was able to spend the day with my true love, Jinx haha. We had some pretty fancy dining which included some cold pizza and fancy feast haha. Anyways enough bragging about my day and onto some poker talk. I didn't really play as much today as i really wanted to. I had the dumb idea of sitting down at 5/10 Pot limit Omaha which i couldn't believe how bad the players were at that level. When i say dumb idea i don't mean i was playing bad but i just don't think i know enough about the game to playing that high yet. But i was really in shock of how bad the players were at that high of stakes. I was cruising along up a couple hundred in the game then i got totally fucked over in a big pot so i decided to quit playing. I got all in on the turn with the nut flush and the other guy rivered out a straight flush on me it was so sick. He hit his 1 outer for about a 1k pot which pissed me off so i quit before i started playing stupid. Losing the money didn't make me mad it was the fact that i was playing so well and if i would've won that pot i know i would've ran that table over. So i will probably be trying out some more Omaha in the future but who knows i think i should read up on it a bit more first. Luckily i know how to play no limit and was able to win my money back within a few hours. I was able to turn an ok profit for only playing a few hours and starting off down 800. Well i just finished playing in the 20 heads up tourney that i said i would play in until i won and i just finished 2nd, so stupid. Yeah it did pay like 540 or something but to get that far and not win is a huge let down. I am so mad i don't even really feel like talking about today's play anymore so here are a few hands and I'm out.

Day # 29....COLD

Well it was extremely cold outside today and on days like these i am so glad that i don't have a job haha. I didn't play as much as i would've liked to today but i did still manage to get in about 5 hours of play. I played 1 5/10nl table on fulltilt, 3 5/10nl tables on stars, a little 10/20nl on stars, some .50/1 Omaha, and a few tournaments. It was a pretty hectic 5 hours to say the least. I had some pretty good results on both sites for the short amount of time that i played. I really hate full tilt with a passion but the 5/10 games are pretty soft during the day and i think they are pretty profitable as long as my hands hold up. I was lucky enough to pick up a few big hands on ft against some idiots who don't know how to fold so i was able to make some decent money on there today. As far as Stars goes it was really an up and down day. I started off playing some 10/20 and was up like 1200 real quick but then ran into a few big hands and ended up breaking even in the game. I quit playing the 10/20 after a few hours because a lot of the 25/50 players were joining the table and there is no point playing against a bunch of really solid players. So i started fooling around at Omaha and made like 200 which isn't bad for playing only .50/1. I really like playing Omaha but i just don't think i am good enough at it yet to play for any real stakes. I really am going to read up and try to become a good Omaha player as well because it is fun to play something different other than no limit all the time. I also played in the 20 heads up tourney again that i took 2nd in like a week ago and this tournament field is so weak. I ended up taking 9th out of like 205 people but i am not happy with my results at all. I think i won like 70 bucks or something but the competition is so soft i feel like i shouldve won this tournament. The top prize for the tourney is usually around 1k and with the field being so soft i am going to keep playing this tourney every night until i win it. Anyways i am starting to ramble so i am going to get some sleep so check back tomorrow and I'm out. Here are some hands from today's play for your viewing pleasure.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?821372 - I really have no clue why i checked the river here i honestly think i was playing so many tables at once i wasn't really focused on what was going on.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821375 - I think i make the perfect bet here on the river because it looks like i am value betting a heart and he ends up folding his A.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821380 - pretty good flop for me here haha but once he bets the flop there i know he has an over pair so i know if i just call he will get suspicious so i raise and he pushes all in.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821385 - here i really wish now that i would've pushed all in on the turn. I knew he had the 7 and for some reason i tried to get cute with my straight and when the river fell i knew that now if i pushed he wouldn't call unless i was beat.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821390 - I really thought here on the river forever before i folded. He was a pretty solid player and has to have me on at least ak in this spot so i think when he pushed he was hoping that A helped me and wanted to get called. Also the only hand i am really beating in this spot is qq which is a possibility but i just don't know about this hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821393
http://www.pokerhand.org/?821397 - perfect example of playing the man and not the cards. I play with him a lot and know how he thinks i play so when he bets the 100 i am putting him on a pretty weak hand like 10s or something like that. So once i check raise here he has to have me on aa/kk/qq and if he comes over the top all in i can just fold.

Day # 28 Amazing what can be accomplished in a day when waking up before 3.

Today i was able to put together a pretty lengthy session playing for around 7 hours which is the most i have played in a while. I played the 7 hours in 2 different sessions of about 3 and a half hours each with a hour dinner break in between. The first session i was playing two 5/10nl tables on stars and 1 5/10 nl table on full tilt. I was totally card dead on stars and was really lucky to be up a little bit after the first 3 and half hours. Full tilt was a different story though i was running pretty good and for once my big hands weren't getting drawn out on. I was starting to lose focus after about 4 hours primarily due to the fact i wasn't really getting any cards on stars so i decided it was a good time for a dinner break. So after the first 4 hours i was up about 2400 on full tilt and up like 50 bucks or something on stars haha. While i was eating some crappy hot dogs (how a baller enjoys fine dining haha) i was watching High Stakes Poker and for anyone who hasnt seen this show yet i highly recommend it. It is on the game show network Monday's at 8 and is by far the best poker show on TV. While watching this i was going to play in some tournaments that started at 9 and that was supposed to be the last of my poker for the night, supposed to be. I got in 4 tournaments in which i couldn't get anything going in any of them and was out of all 4 of them by 1030. My plan was to at least get deep in a few of these and call it a night but after sucking so bad in all of them i decided to play some more cash games. I only played on Stars this time due to the fact that the 5/10 games on full tilt looked pretty tough at the time. So i played 3 tables of 5/10nl and a 10/20 nl table on stars for about 3 hours. The 10/20 game was pretty weak so i was able to have some nice results there and i was also playing/running pretty well on the 5/10 tables too. Well that pretty much sums up my day as far as poker goes so i am going to get some sleep and try to put together another nice session tomorrow. Here are some hands for you and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?818596 - Here i learn how to not get sucked out on at fullilt haha.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818600 -Here the ol' 75 suited comes through again. I knew this guy was just making a continuation bet on the flop and when he checked the turn to me i really thought i was going to take it down there. He called though which kind of threw me off but i had a zillion outs going into the river and was able to hit and get paid off.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818605 - Sick thing is I run so bad on Full tilt, once we get it all in on the flop here i am actually expecting a 2 to come on the river.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818607-
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818610 - 10/20 donk
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818612 - Here i would raise a lot of the time in position with ak but i had a feeling with his raise in early position he had a pretty big hand. So i play it slow til the river and i actually thought for a good 2o-30 seconds about checking the river after he had checked to me but i went ahead and threw out a value bet and got called by the big hand. I actually feel like i got off really cheap in this spot and if i wouldve checked like i almost did on the river i feel like i wouldve played it perfect.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818615 pretty self explanatory.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?818618 - this guy was a maniac and trying to bluff at everything so i just call him down rather than raising like i would do most times here.

Days 26/27

I really haven't been in the mood to post anything over the past few days so i am doing it now. I played for about 3 hours on Saturday and had some decent results making around 600. I played in a VIP free roll tournament which paid the winner 10,000 but busted out in like 50th place or something. There were like 800 players and i really couldve made the final table had my AK all in preflop vs. AQ would've held up, but obviously a Q hit the flop and i lost. As for yesterday i played for around 5 hours and just couldn't get anything going. I played in the big Sunday 215 buy in tournament on stars for the first time in a while but it was a big waste of time. There were about 6500 players paying the top 1080 and i busted out in like 1500th place so it was a waste of time. Also in the cash games i couldn't really get much going and when i did i would get involved in a big pot which i seemed to lose every time. So when i busted out of the tourney i decided to cut my losses of around 1k and call it a day. I am playing right now and will be posting today's results later so check back for that and I'm out. Here are a few hands from the past few days for your viewing pleasure haha.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?816990 ]
http://www.pokerhand.org/?816998 - stupid call on the river here. i know he has aces and i still call it off.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?817003
http://www.pokerhand.org/?817011 - I almost folded the river here because i knew had quads but it was so cheap i had to pay the 100 off.
