roll is at 507.

Cant cash anything, cant make money at cash. Nothing is working. Playing fine, i think. Getting coolered/sucked out on like its my job. Of course. way to lose 120 in a matter of like 3 days. go me.

Bad first session

Havent played in a while due to family issues and not having my head in the game. Decided to fire up some tables today and started off quite well, up like 15 bucks before the wheels fell off. I lost one hand, AK< AQ on a Q high spade spade spade flop when i had the ace of spades. It was 3bt preflop. THen i lost a stack getting Kings aip vs Aces. THen i managed to lose two more big pots where i made big bluffs on the river and got called down by 2nd pair or worse both times. All of the hands involved were 3bet or more pre and none of them fared well. I ended with one of my biggest losses in one session, roll is all the way down to 560. Kind of sucks. Did get my poker juices flowing again and im sure ill be back at the tables tonight to try and grind back what i lost.

There is a god

His name is psutennis11.

Congrats for shipping the 2.5k 2day FTOPS Jake. This comes one week after nearly shipping the Sunday warmup and 100r. Very very impressive. Wish i coulda been there to see you win it/victory bong rips but ill live. Hope the heater continues

Got it

As usual i havent played any poker this weekend. I actually went to vermont to celebrate festivus with my family and friends and it was unreal. I dont really want to get into it right now but lets just say a keg of Sam Adams Summer Ale was consumed and much merriment was had.

In other news a 16 dollar rakeback transfer shot my roll all the way to $601. I am very very happy to look down and see that milestone reached basically a week from when i hit $500. Its kind of unfortunate that i wasnt able to cross this milestone myself and had to do it through rakeback but i am very happy nonetheless. Lets just hope I never have to pursue this benchmark again.

I also want to give a shoutout right now to my buddy Jake who has already came in 4th in the Stars $109r today for something like 10k and is now chipleader with 8 left in the warm up. Good luck Jake and lets take some celebratory bingers when you get back!

I can fucking smell it

For the past 2 days my hud hasnt been working and i have felt like im playing naked. Kind of sucks. meh. Anyways, I get to work today and start to grind. I play a session and end at 560(after second bonus installment) I won back about half of last nights grossness.

I take a break, grab some lunch, and decide to play another session. i fire up some tables, grind away, win a nice 200bb+ bvb pot. Sb raises to 3bb i pop it to 9bb w/ AK in the bb and he jams 24 more dollars in. I sigh and man up and call and managed to dodge his 3 outs. he had AQ. That hand and another couple pots puts me at over 590 and i can taste 600. i want to hit this benchmark. Then Disaster strikes.

Maybe i can get away by the river....idk. This hand puts me at under 565. A suckout or 2 later im at under 555. Ugh. I think about quitting and decide to just get up, walk around and take a deep breath. I sit back down and keep going. Eventually by the end of the sesh i had my roll up to 585. A solid 25 bucks from when i started the afternoon sesh and under 1 buy in away from 600. There werent too many interesting hands from this seshion, really it was just cbets, getting value from JJ+/AK, and getting sucked out on.

There is one hand i would like to mention, unfortunately its a hand that i misplayed really poorly and cost myself probably about $7:

I really like how i played this hand up to the river. As soon as i hit check on the river i cursed myself. I think that by check calling the whole way i did a somewhat decent job of representing a flush draw. Especially to a lesser player, check call check call probably means FD. Given that i have a flush draw, there is absolutely ZERO reason that villain will fire the river. But, assuming he is competant he should be able to sniff out a bluff from a missed draw w/ a marginal hand, like 88 for example. The main benefit for playing the hand the way i did was to be able to get a large but very well disguised value bet in on the river and i missed that opportunity. If i dont plan on vbetting the river than i need to be betting the whole way. Otherwise i think check calling loses alot of its appeal. Obviously, i check the flop hoping he will cbet and as it turns out his hand probably couldnt have withstood 2 bets but im pretty sure i need to fire that river.

Thats what 5 tabling and kinda annoyed will do to ya. live and learn. hopefully i cross the 6hundo benchmark tonight at some point. Good luck everyone.

A brutal couple seconds

I wanted this post to be a brag that i crossed the 600 dollar mark on full tilt. Lets just say thats not the case. Im going to give a brief run-through of my latest session.

I start with 550 and decide to play 2 tournies for like 13 bucks total. 4 suckouts later im out of both and decide to play some cash to win that back. Within 15 minutes im up to 575. A solid buyin plus from when i started. I keep climbing and see myself at 592. I know i shouldnt be looking where i am but forgive me. I decide i really want to play until i hit 600. I want that goddamn milestone.

I grind and grind and flop the nuts on a 4c6c8d flop. We get half the stacks in and the rest of them on the 10d turn. he has 79. Ok, back to 575. lets fight. Grind to 585 when i get AQ on two tables . Table one i get it all in on an A35 flop vs 33. Woops. Table 2 i get it all in on a A84hhh flop i have qh. He has A8. woops. Instantly lose 2 stacks and the roll plummets to 529 and i instantly log out.

This is my first losing session in a while. It feels bad. :( Its good to know though, that im 50 dollars ahead of where i was when i went to sleep last night. Im basically where i was early this morning before my afternoon sesh. Unfortunately the afternoon sesh and promising evening one are for naught. Its no big deal though. Ill get it back tomorrow.

good luck all

Pimp Morning

Last night before i went to bed i played two sngs and lost them both to see my roll fall to 475. Visions of a losing tear which seem to always follow my winning streaks darted through my head. Fortunately it was nothing to worry about. In an 86 hand session this morning i brought it all the way back to $525 (including the first installment of my $100 bonus). In this session i got AA three times, won a stack once, won a giant pot once, and got it all in on a KT6ccc flop vs TT once in a 3bet pot.

About halfway through the morning right after i lost the AA hand i was at about 500 and wanted to go to the bathroom. I played another 5min and then clicked my dont auto post blind button. This was the last hand of my session:

Ill take it. And ill definitely appreciate avoiding the river for once. I think im going to fire up an mtt or two. Definitely play some more cash later on today. Hope everyone has a good monday

milestone

I really dont play much poker over the weekend. Its kind of backwards but i play a bunch during work and on the weekends i usually just hang out and smoke a buncha weed. This weekend was no exception. It was filled with adventures and excitement but no virtual cards.

I got back into worcester this afternoon and won about a buy in in 20 or 30 min playing 25nl. I took a nap, went out and came back and just finished another short session up 35 bucks before i got a little frisky and lost a hand where i had a sper draw but none the less i finished up another buy in or $50 for the day. This puts my roll at a very pretty 502. last time my roll breached the $500 barrier it came crashing down to around 420 the very next day. Hopefully i will manage to avoid that fate this time around.

Time to go back to the grind of work, hopefully ill be able to log some nice hours this week.
