Being Ra-a-aaaped

VERY diffcult to earn on poker when this happens:

KhAc – QdJc   loss

AdAs – 8s8d   loss

AdTd – AsQd  loss

3c7cTc 8d8s – QcAd             loss

7s5d – 4dJh    loss

QhQc – 8hAh  loss

AdAs – QhQd  win (AMAZING!).

Poker gods wiping their asses with me.

And they're sure getting clean!

Playing 3 tourneys.

In one of them I look at Arnold Arsenigger and one dude is out for trouble => allin. He shows KK ... and gets a king. Bye bye.

in the 5$ rebuy micro million im Just getting close to the money positions 1800/16K is paid I'm 1801 and let the time rool out as I'm put in this position:

Checking (I'm a bad boy, drolling. Chips are comming my way!!!!!)

K. OK allin:

Oh?! The high straight. Of course. Luckily I go 1796 and get my well earned 16 bucks - YEAH! Of all 100+ combos that's the hand you gotta have.

Started on some poker software (in C# language) :)

I've gotten an idea for some way to make a poker coaching software. The idea behind the program is to let the user focus on the up and downs during a tournament so he can learn from his mistakes and good moves. Looking forward to do some creative work with the code again. Just wish there where more than 24 hours in the day :| ... :)

Sick sick sick... Going to vomit... sick...sick... Did I mention sick?

I'll let these speak for themselves:

Shaking my head whilst watching it. I didn't even tilt. But f*ck, how can donkeys be awarded so much by so bad play?

5/548 in the 5$ rebuy 5K GTD

I hate 50-50ies!... But nevertheless a couple of those shot me to the top of the tourney late in the game. Suddentæy I found myself at the final table (the place we like to be). Here I din't get much. ahhh, that's not true, but QQ didn't pay of and at one point I called a "not too shy" raise with AK suited in late position. A dude with many chips had raised UTG which had doubled the blinds for starters. But with my call he (UTG) went allin and I set him on AA KK or QQ and I didn't want to go lotto at this point. Too much experience tell me that he could easy have had killers. But well they were eager to kick each other out which in the end pushed me to the 5th position. Here I din't get much and in the end I limped, I think, with 66 and were set allin. I'm not sure if it had done any difference... Maaaybe if I had been the aggressor, but nevertheless he went allin with AQ and the flop.... AAQ. The miracle, hehe, didn't appear and I was out. Some well deserved bucks to my roll though!

Recipe for tilt

Yesterday some Einstein raised my late +2xBB with 7h8h from the blinds. I re-raise him as I have the Aces and he calls. He checks on a 764 flop and I bet the pot. Then Einstein sets me allin with his toppair + inside draw. Call loose bye bye 33% chance.

In another Tourney blinds are getting high and a dude with a nice stack +2 bets from a late position. I sit behind him with JJ and sets him allin BB=500, with 8K. He sits with 30K stack and his A5 is a killa. Yes he gets A. Byebye.

Then I'm in SnG mode. BB=200 allin from early 1600 left, with 88 on my hand. Chip lead calls with 77. What comes???? SEVENNNNNN.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeeeez. Today Ive homed in on a fish which goes allin. I call with AK and looks at KT. T T comes... OOOOOOKKKKK! It's OK to be a little unlucky.

Then for the love of God this happens:

And yes. It's allin from the two dudes in late. I call with a smile but then the devil shows his face almost literally on the river. No tripling this time even though the good odds.

Ruins the mood and puts a serious pressure on the tilt handling!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol (manic laugh) I'm forced allin in late pos. with 55. Some genious calls with Qc3c.. Q.

Combined unlucky prob for today so far: 0,3*0,2*0,3*100% = 2%.

Most unlucky poker day EVER!

W   T   F   !?:

AA allin 3x            Loose
JJ - 22                  Loose
AK - straigh draw Loose
QQ - AT              Loose

I AM SPEECHLESS!!!

5/1031 in the 17.5 K GTD 8$ rebuy

My best result on pokerstars until now :)

A short recap:

I was lucky to win a AK - pair allin at one point. Otherwise I kept away from 50/50s and played through the fire. This one made some poo touch the wool:

I'd raised preflop and this dude who was a little too active had called. On the flop a daunting King showed his face and the dude wasn't affraid to test me with a serious bet. I though, Fuke it I don't think he hit so I called and in the end when I put a little heat on him after a double check on the turn he laid down. (I had to minimize the window during the river bet as I didn't have the nerve to wait it out :| ).

On the final table I made a bold move with Jd4d:

This wasn't received well by an observer and another player:

.. But I could only laugh a little impressed that I took the chance and conclude I had made a right decision on  the profile of this mate. At the same time my stack was improving ;)

99/3594 in the Big 22 tourney

Quite decent result! Not mentional the price. But the position is interesting. I did a mistake in the end when calling an UTG limper with TT.

Flop 678.
He checks, I bet 5999/16K and he's allin 66K.
I called and he shows 87. Byebye unfortunately. Bad choice.

I also hit the money positions in the 11 rebuy. I went out of one of the 5 Rebuy tourneys With two pairs AK. against TJ flush draw. And in the other I was allin with KK and was called by a luckbox with AJ who hit his A.

2/581 in the 5 rebuy 5K GTD :)

A good result rolls in after I re-discovered poker. The real poker started when we were about 20 left. Before that I'm on my way out as I'm allin against a chips lead and realize I only have 2 outs to hit a full house as he had hit a flush. For once I'm lucky ... VERY lucky and get my full house. Right on! Then I start to rock the shit out :D

But yes, 20 left:

I'm low stacked and look down at Kent and Kenny:

One Russian dude, aggressive that is... I know they're seldom aggressive (sarcastic), he raises as many times before. That is my queue, so I shove allin:

Then this Slovenian guy next to me is further all in. I'm a little worries because he kicked my butt a little earlier with AA. So I'm fearing that:

But luckily it's "only" AQ suited hearts:

Then no Aces and no hea...

At this point a small poo is exiting my behind as it sets him on around 50% ;( I've already seen it lost that hand, but I dodge the hearts and the Ace. PEEEEOW!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little later I see myself low stacked again and I push to the middle with TT Under the Gun:

Big Blind calls and show some sweet cards which doubles me again :D :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

, and the best move tonight:

So I profiled this Rusky to be quite loose and he raises as many times before. I sit with TT behind him and raise:

Nothing has changed so he calls and the flop is a little... doubtful. He checks and I put a little heat on him:

He calls and that worries me a little because now we're talking chips :| He checks and I check.

On the river comes the other Jack and he sets me all in...

Yikes! I trust my instinct and pull my big boy pants all the way up so a male camel toe is visible................................................................................................... Check Please! ...

(I call the mother):

T7 and I hit the jackpot :D ... Thanks Vladimir!

The hand after I get the rockets AA and that gives me a couple of chips and shoots me to the 1st place:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next good one is me being armed with The Russians favorite weapon AK. One dude had bet 2 times BB from UTG. Can be a sign of danger. But Vladimir decides to raise and I call on the button:

Then this early dude wants to play ball... probably another Russian:

But "oh no Alejandro!" you're not scaring me away when i sit in position so I call:

Flop, like it a lot :) Then he's not shy:

Shit! Is he bad ass?.... Fuke it! I want to teach him some manors and that was a good idea:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the final table there's one guy especially that's horny for the flop. He keeps raising. Most are affraid of him but when I'm at Big blind I call and play him as it gives me 1/3 chance. And he doesn't hit every time. Some of the times a Bluff him, folds and then I hit trip jacks and he goes allin on his straight draw on the turn. Bad idea... for him ;)... That sends me to the 2nd seat. Then Another Russian guy sets me allin with A7 suited when I raised him with AK this goes home and we just need the 2 others to mess up which they does :)

Heads up I'm loosing focus. the tournament has been running for 8 hours we're even at one point with 2 million in chips each, but then I screw up. In the end I'm allin with 500K against his 3½ million my A3 against his K3. He hits K and it's done. fair enough.

But again it seems like my theory mentioned in a post or two ago looks very promising. I'm taking notice of my dough today and see the progression through out the month. Tomorrow is family time and birthday. And then we should be back on track on Monday :)

See you guys ;)

Definitely on to something!

I think it was good I turned down the job offer yesterday...

I had an eye openening .... Not to be disclosed ;) .. poker experience which has shown the way forward and a way of playing I applied as once I realized what Ive been doing wrong for some time. I know Ive said it before, but Im QUITE positive that Im on the right path now:

Yesterday I went in the money in 3/4 tournaments.

Today I went in the money in 3/5 and lost a KK - JJ allin in one of the lost tourneys. The best results where these today:

12/716 in the 5.5 rebuy 5K gtd

19/747 in the 11 rebuy 17.5K gtd

I believe that November will be a QUITE interesting month! And for sure time is running out now so a decision wether or not to go this way has to be made quite soon.

Btw: it started out quite bad as I accidently registered to a 109$ turbo freezeout - I was too fast registering as I was a little late ;( lost that quite fast - stupid. But now Ive applied some filters on the tourneys so that won't happen again.
