October Month Review

So October has finished and I think its the month that has opened my eyes, since starting this blogging caper earlier in the year i have proved that i am a winning player but with just extremely bad discipline, i would build up a roll to the $700-$1000 region and then Drunk/Tilt a huge chunk of it and have to rebuild.

earlier this month i went one better, I lost my whole roll roughly $700 after tilting and playing heads-up - since then i have not touched my account drunk and touch wood never will again. when i look at my results I have to realise that this is serious business, i can make some decent money and with 3 kids and 1 on the way I need to man up and treat the game with respect.

anyways onto my results, i have not included my drunken nights figures basically i want to look at what i have achieved and use this as my motivation for future months.. i know i still ower $250 to my dad for the stake and that will be paid as and when.

here is my graph


this is made up of

$50NL heads up - 3011 hands, 6.05BB/100, + $185.10
$25NL 6 Max - 32 hands, 26.31BB/100, + $4.21
$25NL FR with antes - 211 hands, 20.37BB/100, +$21.38
$25NL FR - 14,711 hands, 7.31BB/100, +$537.57

poker profit - $745.31
Rakeback - $137.62

October Total - $882.93

November goals is basically the same! I have no intentions of moving up and will withdraw all profits as I have debts which I would rather clear than have money sitting in a poker account...long term once i'm debt free I can try and move up the levels

the only difference i would like is to get some decent MTT results, I have 2 $5000 freerolls through my rakeback provider and im in the FTOPS warm-up on Sunday.... only 50k players to get through for a $25k score lol!

anyway thanks for reading, bankroll is $1000.

*edit just lost about $50 heads up and had to withdraw $50 to cover buying summit.... bankroll now $910
*super edit i rock like rock on x factor - bankroll bank over $1k

Octobers Final Stretch

the month is drawing close and im in the final stretch, have played a fair bit since Wednesday but basically have broke even, howvever rakeback is probably about $15 from these hands so im definitely due to hit $1000 by tomorro's payment.

i probably wont play at all this weekend as Football Manager 2010 is out, a sick game which when i get into takes up a load of my time, i am know to run games with a lower league club from the conference and try to take them up into Europe over games spanning 20-30 seasons.... this years version has leagues down to County Level so i might even play as one of my old clubs Worthing United or Lancing...

I'm Better Than Ivey & Durrrrr

Drunk Tourney part III

so the plan as usual was for me and my mate mug to donk around in a few micro buyin MTT's and have a few drinks... the tourneys of choice were a pitiful $1 mtt with 800+ runners and a $2 deepstack again with 800 plus runners. me being a high roller i also registered for a $6 Super Turbo knockout with 1000 runners.

the night was a non event.... obviously the super turbo busted first, after taking 3 heads for $3 in bountuies i eventually exited in the low 200's when a button steal with K7 ran into KQ.. i ran ok in the other two tourneys before i possibly played aces as bad as they can be played in the $1 donkfest... i limped in earl position hoping for a raise which never came, the flop came Kxx and i led for half the pot, the turn brought a jack so i blasted all in and got called off course by King Jack.

in the $2 tourney i was about 30th but there was still 200+ runners, with min cashes all the way to the top 20 i could not be bothered to play another 2-3 hours so i just blasted all in until i got eliminated - its no wondner my sharkscope is a disgrace, i give up on these so easily!!

Mug made a cash in this tourney, not sure where he came but he made $2.86 profit and was up for a least an hour later than me!



Cash play was a mix of funny, terrible with a few suckouts for good measure.

i played a decent 800 hand session of $25nl and lost about $25, running that amount below expectation, there were some serious muggings like AA > JK but i played some hands terribly - i will highlight two embarsasments at the end.
Later on i went bum hunting at $50 nl heads up and won about $60 to save the day but i got extremly lucky like hitting trips with A3 against 1010 all in on a 935 board.



these hands are a joke, im embarassed looking at them!

Weekend Review

i had planned to log a monster session of hands over the weekend, Friday night saw a rakeback payment send me over $800 and then i put in a decent session over a few hundred hands to put me upto $850, i then lost that heads up.. stopped had a few drinks and lost my $120 partypoker account playing blackjack which has been a long standing vice for me (thank fuck full tilt has no casino!)

anyway woke up Saturday pissed off and vowed to win it back, i played numerous small sessions totalling 3k hands which is a lot for me and i managed to end up a decent amount up with a decent $30 rakeback or so to come just for the weekend. graph and stats from 25nl below, somehow i have messed up my graph/stats from heads up but i lost about $60

as normal most of the winnings comes from $25nl, my heads up never got going and numerous times i got hit and run buy the short-stackers i look for - it has to be expected though, the Short Stack strtegy is all about doubling up and leaving, buying back in on a different table with the profit safely banked.

not a lot else done this weekend, played both days of football for once, a 3-0 win Saturday saw my 4th goal in 5 appearances with two from the bench... Sunday saw a 4-2win as well.

tonight im planning on a few drinks and im watching the wrestling... sad i know but it is my guilty pleasure... alongside this i will play a couple of tourneys and hopefully make a decent profit - ill report back tomorrow.




Bankroll a healthy $877

Lol at Previous Post

haha yes a little drunk last night, resulting in the demise of my drunk poker account i'm a tad annoyed at the loss but I think it was fully expected!

Full Tilt was a mixed bag, my biggest ever hand total for the day with 1.7k hands at 25nl for a $100 profit, unfortunatly i played 300 hands at 50nlHU and lost over a $100 before I realised I should stop and have a drink or summit!

went on this morning and won a bit back so my bankroll is over $800 again.

Plan for tonight is a big session at $25nl maybe try and hit 2k hands again, will post tomotto with my results.

Blackjack = Rigged

Won $50ish on Full Tilt then lost my $120 on Party Poker playing fucking blackjack.. every fucking time dealer shows 13 14 and hits 21 - Rigged

who ever thought a drunk poker account was a good idea!

Nice Cash Play Hand

Just had a nice session in my weekly pot limit cash game with a couple of my work buddies, going into the session i was down about £8 and it was paying up time after the session.... i played a solid enough game and going into the last hand i was about £25 up...then this crazy hand comes up.

We are playing 3 handed and the last game is Pot Limit Omaha... Dean makes a standard button raise to 70p and i annouce "i'll call to see the flop" knowing that im going to need a sick flop for my 2 3 7 9 rainbow!!

Flop comes ACE 3 3... sick!! its on me and i bet 50p, a small teaser begging to be re-raised, Mug folds and Dean calls.... next card is a 3! i mutter something about a pocker pair being nice and bet around £2... Dean calls... river is another Ace so the board reads AA333... i do some excellent acting, talking about pocket pairs and aces etc... i eventually bet £2.70 and Dean re-raises to £6.50...at this moment i actually wonder if he has pocket aces for a sick sick Quads over Quads but eventually i man up and go all in, Dean has another £15 behind. Dean ponders for ages and folds showing an ace.... grrr really wish he had a pocker pair and i would of scooped a massive pot!

Online has been pretty poor, i didnt play Monday as i felt tired and a bit pissed off, a certain receipe for disaster, yesterday i booked a $40 profit over around 500 hands at $25nl and then went on after the Arsenal game, i played heads up and initally won about $25 before losing a stupid amount of hands and tilted eventually losing over $100..i then lost $30 this morning cos i couldnt lay down KK's on a ten high flop when the villain obviously has a set and then AK on a AAJ910 board when villain had 10's.

bankroll is still tidy at $709 and i have withdrawn some dollars into my account... really want to put some volume in as ive only played 7k hands at $25nl

oh yeah, i got a free $6 on party Poker which is now $33 - happy days!

* Edit won $59 on Full Tilt over like 300 hands which is a nice semi recovery then played Party Poker and now ive got $117 after some Omahahaha.

eazy game. sometimes. karma dont bite me!

Mid Month Review

i followed up the $45 losing session caused by the straight flush with a $10 pfoit over a swingy $25nl session and then booked a $60 win heads up with a crazy hand which ill show at the end.

this left me with a winning session/day and i thought to myself that i rarely have had a losing day (meltdowns aside) so i thought i should review this months stats, here goes.

$25nl

23 sessions, 4 losing sessions. biggest hand $75.95.

Bankroll $709

Sickest Hand ever

been running like god so I suppose this was bound to happen.... first hand after sitting down with a short-stacked villain...didnt realise he had rebrought to $50 until i was committed to he hand.... i put him on an ace with a high heart or pocketpair with a heart so figured i was ahead...didnt realise people called 3 bets with 34 suited sigh.

Recovering Well

Bank roll on the rise, upto $660, so with rakeback will be hopefully near $700.
i might withdraw $100 back to my dad as an inital pay back for his stake.

most of my profits have been at $50nl headsup, i really should dig out some hand histories as the play has been shocking.

playing a £5 rebuy tourney at my mates tonight, i should at least cash but with my mate owing me 8 cans of cider it might be a struggle - i think i might plan to buy the new PES game with the winnings so maybe that will focus me...

big session lined up for tomorrow night, probably wanna do 1k hands minimum and then some tourneys on Party Poker so i can have a drink.... i will self-ban on full tilt for 24 hours!!

anyways its been going well for me, hope you guys are having similar luck!



*Edit won $47 in a 20 minute burst to finish off my 50 ftps.... AK outflopping 9's and jacks and the getting paid off on a rivered nutflush..

i have withdrawn $100 so leaves bankroll at $606 + rakeback to come

Drunk Poker Plan

Played a little on Sunday and today, won about $50 on cash over the two days grinding $25nl and the occasional pop at $50NL HU... Sunday was my tourney night, did about 10 tourneys, only really got going in a $3 KO tourney - finishing 45th out of 1000+ seems impressive but it only netted me about $7.

My freeroll was again great value, 300 runners and top 63 pay prizes of $25 upwards to $1k for the winner - i exit on the 1st level when i gamble against a donk with AQ but cant hit against his pocket nines...a loose move maybe but the fella had shoved and lost with JQ and K10 already..... i did get a bit of respite in a $5 massive sattelite to the Double Deuce, 1600 runners and top 400 or so get a $22 ticket, i trebled up early and just held one easily for the prize which i have converted to tourney dollars.

I have been thinking a lot about why i have lost the plot on numerous occasions, i initially blamed tilt but looking at it properly it is drunken tilt. A week ago i tilted and lost $100ish but i stopped logged off, on Friday i tilted but as i had drink flowing through my body i didnt stop, i went onto a $400 heads up game - clearly a drunken decision. looking back im pretty certain when i have lost $400+ it was when i had been drinking.

so from now on, whenever i have a drink at home i am going to use the self ban feature for 24 hours, i simply cannot trust myself.

I am going to set up a new poker account with $50 and that will be used whenever i am drunk and fancy a game, more than likely this money wont last to long but id rather gurantee a $50 loss than risk a potential $500+ loss.

bankroll at $437 & $22 Tourney dollars.

Staked

got $350 to try and start again, just had a session at $10nl and it was disgusting not sure if I can drop down and play at this level, to many crazy players who cant fold.

ill review my goals but I guess my am is to get upto $750 and a roll for $25nl

The end of No More Pain

I cant even last a month without being a degenerate fuckwit

started fine, was up about $50 at the usual stakes.

went on later drunk, no problem ill just play 5c/10c, i drop 6 buyins in an hour... head to heads up and lose $50 with aces.

head to $2 $4 headsup and go allin with K9 on a Kxx flop villain has KQ

change table and go all in with 10's on an 8 high board, villain has QQ.

I cant even show the hand histories as I exited the tables before the river came out

bankroll is $32.81 - no joke. lost $700+ & months of grinding in 90 stupid minutes.

I have no idea what to do now, i have no money to redeposit, no-one is going to one to stake a fuckwit. I cant grind 1c/2c.

i have my rakebrain freroll tomorrow, i think the only way this blog and my poker will continue is if i take the sucker down for the $1k or whatever it is first prize.

please leave comments telling me what a retard i am.

thanks.

Quick Update

very small update, didnt play Wednesday as the Mrs had her only night off this week so we just chilled and watched tv.

Yesterday i jumped on in the morning before work and lost about $25 heads up mainly due to river a flush which filled the villains boat.

Come the evening i was knackered but was determined to wipe off the morrnings losses and to earn my 50 full tilt points.... 45 minutes later the job was done and i ended up in profit



play a little cash play at lunch with my work mates, won about £20, would of won a lot more but bottled the last Omaha hand, i held KJQ8 with two spades, there was a raise and reraise preflop and a pot sized bet on a flop of K** with two spades...i folded as my flush draw was jack high and with the action preflop i figured a K qith a queen kicker werent great - i also knew that his flop bet of £4.50 meant he was commited for his last £10 on the turn so i folded.

all the money went in on a non spade 10 turn and the original raiser won with two pair 10's and fives, the river paired and i actually would of scooped the near £40 pot with two pair -still a good fold i think.

fancy a session tonight, will probably grind my 50 points 9 tabling $25nl and then drop the amount of tables and watch the England under 21's - fancy a bet on Walcott Scoring and England winning.

Drunken Tourney Night 2

so the drunken tourny night was upon us, me and mug decided to only 4 table this time and again the drink of choices was Stronbows for me and Wine for the more cultured mug.

Being high rollers we selected the $2 6 man mtt, a $3 KO mtt as well as a $3 90 man sng & $2 180 sng... the $2 sng and $3 KO were write off's for me fairly early exits - one exit hand really made me laugh - i raise preflop 5 bbs with pocket 9's, get called, flop comes 23Q villain checks i go all in - he calls with jack 10 and hits a runner runner straight - he didnt have a lot of chips so how can he call!!!

$3 KO went a bit better, i eventually bust 12/90 - close but no cigar, you'' be pleased to know i cashed in the $2 MTT - 700ish runners and i came 60th or summit - won $3.85!! go me.

after the tourneys finished i decided to play a couple of super turbos - perfect for drunk poker - all you do is push or fold - i came 3rd and 1st for a small score.

to end drunken tourney night me and mug played a couple of heads up - HORSE and Omaha and a 9 man matrix - i lost them all.

so the tourney night ended as -$2 for me and -$20 for mug, will post the sharky when i find it....


Mug didnt really get anything going and the one tourney he was running well in, the $2 stt he finsihed 21st (top 18 pay) when his aces got cracked by kings - big pot as well - apparently he feels like poo today and is not happy at losing so much so drunken tourney nights may be over - im sure he'll change his mind - drunken tourney nights are fun!!

alongside this madness i dabbled in cash, i wont bore you with the details but i won back all the money from yesterday and more - found the donks i should be finding and played well. only one hiccup to tell, i sat down at a $5/$10 game for a laugh and it auto-posted a blind - bye-bye half a buyin at my normal level.




ill leave you with this chat log, villain was an idiot constantly berating me so i bite back after seeing him as a $2k loser on poker table ratings (not big or clever, but we were heads up so not like im mugging him off in front of anyone) - nothing better than sucking out on a toolbox - i mean calling me a poor negro cause i have the black woman avatar - would he think i was a penguin if i had that one!!

Cash Out Curse

The Cash Out Curse is as big as a myth as the Loch Ness Monster, or Man landing on the moon.... supposedly you withdraw money and the poker site presses a button to make you lose so you deposit more - but seeing as i withdrew $50 last night to help out a bleak looking family bank account and then proceeded to lose $60 over the nights session could it actually be true?

No. i lost money because im a tool. i didnt follow my poker rules. i did not play No More Pain Poker. im very suprised i didnt have a sleepless night following my shambles.

it started out with be playing heads-up at around 6pm after dinner, i couldnt find any filthy shortstackers so just found a losing player based on Poker Table Ratings. I got owned for nearly a full buy-in, biggest hand was holding Q9 on a Q45 flop bet call, turn queen bet call, river 3, i bet he goes all in - i call not even thinking about 67 for the straight.

Sigh. later on i put in a mammoth (for me) 1000 hand session 9 tabling $25nl and I won everything back bar $5, all was ok now!!

I logged off played footie manager and watched some shite TV. Later on in the evening i fancied looking for some more donks and again couldnt find any shortstackers. I proceeded to lose $75 against a couple of players who werent great but i think i was tilted. the majority of this loss was a stupid/gay/retarded shove with Ace 10 no diamonds on a 23410 flop with 3 diamonds, villain had 3 bet me preflop and led the flop so I knew he had a decent hand, i wasnt suprised to see him turn over KK with a diamond and I missed my miniscule outs.

I rallied back $15 or so at Omaha but my bank roll has been decimated by $60 ($110 with thw withdrawal), im not annoyed at the amount as losses are inevitable, im annoyed at me not following my rules.

I have played this morning and found just the type of donk i should be tracking down, winning $25 against a player who 3bet shoved every 4-5 hands... i waited for aces and called easily holding againts KQ.

tonight is another tourney night with Mug, hopefully ill run better than last time where i had one min cash for like 10 efforts.

Bankroll $685

Weekend Update

Not a great deal of poker played this weekend, i logged on Saturday morning whilst waiting to go to work and won about $30 9 tabling $25nl, went to work and played a $2 rebuy on Paddypower whilst doing my dads accounts, came 80/450ish so not even a cash.

In the afternoon i played a redic $25k freeroll for my mate who was at football, $4k to the winner and top 400 paying prizes of $20 upwards, i bust out 1000ish when my AK aipf against AQ for a top 30 chipstack and the villain 4 flushes - i was so pissed off at that!!

in the evening with the mrs working and kids in bed i planned to do a monster cash session, i started doing my standard $25nl but could get nothing going, running into a few coolers like TPTK againts overpair/Sets... i decided to then change to 4 tables of 10nl but was totally bored.

A Switch to heads-up was a lot more fun and i won a fair whack despite repeated hit and runners, every time this happens i track the person down call them a c*** and mark them down as purple so i know to avoid them in the future.

so bank roll is $775 as i had a rakeback payment as well and graph/stats are below -




i will leave you with this lovely set up hand, made all the sweeter by the villain bein an absolute mug who was telling me to quit and to save my money as i was a donk - LOL!!

First Day of No More Pain Poker

Two smallish sessions made up the first day of my new disciplined start, first off a session in the morning hoping to find some drunken Americans, session was fairly steady only 1 bad move with a $11 river bluff running into the ace flush that I was trying to represent. After a day of work, a nice steak dinner with my parents and an acupuncture appointment for hayfever and headaches I have been suffering with I want really in the mood to play, but I wont play 20,000 hands by not playing so logged on and booked a similar profit to the morning to put me at an impressive 2 buy-ins up over 600 hands.

After watching a few tv shows with the mrs and then watching the end of a very boring Celtic vs Rapid Vienna match I did my usual search for a few shortstackers at heads-up, I found a few people who would bet and win the first hand and then refuse to play me!! Been happening quite a bit lately and annoyed me a bit, I managed to siphon a $3 profit off one before deciding I couldn’t be bothered with the constant sitting out and logged off bankroll plus Take Two Bonus is $703




As for live cash play, me and two mates from work have just sneaked off for a 90 minute dealers choice game, I managed to finish up £13.80 but these session are so random that by time it gets to payday ill could be up or down upto £50!

Mrs is working tomorrow night so I expect ill try and motor a minimum of 1000 hands then, I might try and see if I can do some sneaky hands whilst I do some accounting work for my Dad Tomorrow morning, trouble is he normally sets me up on a donkfest on Paddy Power Poker hoping ill take a decent cash down!!

Sept Review - October Goals

Last session of the month last night and it was a bit of a hairy one, $30 up on the Full Ring $25nl games before dropping $60 headsup, playing a short stacker and running into 3 full houses, I left when his stack was upto $80 – quadrupling his buy-in off me grrr.

Won back $30 this morning but this will be included in my October Figures for the purpose of this post...

So anyways onto this post, I see a lot of blogs doing it and I think it’s a great way of getting focus… the September review is not gonna happen, basically I won steadily reached $750ish and the dropped to $330 on a stupid tilt night, since then I have grown this back to $600 playing sensible and within limits.

So October goals, basically the main aim is to play a whole month without being a stupid prick, keep within my limits and get a high volume in. My Cash results have improved greatly and I want to play a load of hands to make sure me winning is because im a good player, and not because of variance.

So this month goals and rules–

• I want to play a minimum of 20,000 hands at $25nl Full Ring, I can also take shots at any shortstacker at heads-up I can find.
• I will only play tournament if in the mood, no firing up 6 tournaments then realising I cant be arsed and playing like a donk.
• If I have been drinking stick to cheap games, STT’s or MTT’s $2 or below – cash 10nl and no more than 4 tables
• $50 Stop Loss at cash tables
• Post my session results every day
• Post Hand Histories on RTR or 2+2
• Final Table a MTT with 200+ runners

By the end of all of that my actual aim for the month is to increase the bankroll to minimum of $750, and to withdraw $200 which is what I deposited a couple of months ago. As my bankroll is $600+$50 take two bonus I basically need to win $300 this month.

Long term I want to equally grow the bankroll and withdraw to pay off some debt., I know people say never to withdraw but with a family and debt I need to prioritise, I don’t give a fuck about climbing levels, im playing poker as a hobby which provides a side income.

So there it is my October Goals, basically behave myself, make a profit and kick on.

Time for real poker, time for discipline – time for no more pain!

*have put a goal & rule up for Mug as well!
