the players are terrible arnt they, im on a downswing at the moment mainly due to their bad play. i wont fill your journal with suckouts but im playing NL25 and they seem to be in their droves around here. People will call your raises with monsters with jsut about anything. Nice to hear your doing well congrats!

Thats an awesome win, congratz dude, let the good times roll

Thank you all for the good words and wishes!!

I had been offline since wednesday and couldnt play. Tommorrow I ll be home and will try to put some hours. I hope this last for a while.

Stu, most players are really bad on B2B. They will draw regardless how much you bet and will bet really hard when hit. Just dont pay them and you have to do very nice on those games. Also, dont you ever EVER bluff. I really cant say that CB are too profitable because most of the times they are after the turn, and if you dont hit and OOP they might try a move and you will be folding th best hand sometimes... Oh well, play ABC and you should be fine. Also, they are much worse on the 6max tables.

I forgot to mention I lost 102E last night and my friend is now afraid of poker. I guess that is good news because I dont want to encourage friends to play the game. I know a few gamblers that are not doing great in life.....

Hey...I like the journal. Glad to see u finally booked a big win the other day. On the topic of bonuses you need to check out bonuswhores.com. The main page has every site, the introductory bonus and the reloads. Also the bonus discussion forum has lots of unpublished bonuses. It's literally a gold mine

Thursday 26th. and Friday 27th. Afternoon.

I really hate this game. If it wasnt because the money I am making playing it I would definetely quit .

Yesterday, thursday, I finished the staff poker sign up bonus and added that 150E to the roll. Whilke finishing it, I lost another 110E. Wont post any hand, but, believe me, I was assraped HARD. After finishing it, I decided to go to FTP and lost a buy in in a major suckout. After that, I tilted two buy ins abut managed to get something back. I ended the day near 300USD down. Could have been a break even day if it wasdnt because of the tilt.

Today afternoon.

I was at FTP and made 790 at the tables and cleared 40 in bonus . Jesuschrist.That was two tables of 6max and one full ring for about 6+ hours. I have no words.

I´ll proll play some more tonight. FTP players are really really bad. but I think that is just about everywhere. They are near the top of my list, though.

Friday Jan. 27th late session.

FTP.

I managed to win another $69 at the tables and I played for three hours, one of which I playe d only on two 6 max tables. I estimate I played 600+ hands. I cleaared another 12 bnus dollars.

Crazy action on FTP tonight. The tables changed from tight passive to maniac-ish. Friday Night effect. I really dont know how was that I ended up for the night because I was stacked twice and was hit hard for almost full stacks two more times. Tommorrow should be good.

Today was a $911 payday. $859 at the tables and 52 in bonus.

Saturday Jan 28th.

Today i was playing at FTP again and lost $220. According to PT I played 1300 hands.

I lost a lot against shorstacks all in preflop:
1.- I had KK cracked by A9. -$44
2.-JJ vs AK. -$23
3.- AK vs. 79 -$50. This gay was giving away chips like crazy and beat me two times lik e this. -$29.
4. QQ vs. TT -32. Previos tilting guy.
5.- TT vs. KK vs. AA. They were bth short stacked and I decided to give it try because the table was really crazy. -29.

Also, I got 4 sets in the whole day and all of them didnt get action. No str8s and two flushes I chased withoutproper odds and were notr paid when hit. I was playing quite well and got a little desperate and pushes with AK and AQ called me and beat me for a full stack.

Also, I called a v50 river bet by mistake when I was opening a new table and the buttons overlapped. I guess when everything is running bad everything is running bad. Bad day again. I feel very bad, despite I am winning a decent amount over the last 5.6K hands. I made 300E at staff poker in 2K hands and 590 in 3600 hands in FTP, which is good.

I will play tommorro on pokerium (B2B) for their 300E sign up bonus.


....I am editing to report night session.

Another 700 hands at B2b (Staff POker) and made 170E. I really dont even now how.

Hand 1.

I am dealt AA in MP. I open raise to 4. CO raises to $12 (or something) I flat call. I have 120 and he has 90.

FLOP. 8 - 5 - 2 with two diamonds. I lead with 12 hoping for a raise, he raises to 30 and I push. Villain calls. Turn and river are rags. He flips over 88 and wipes me!

Hand 2.

I am dealt QJ in the BB. Three limpers and I check.

FLOP. $4.5 QJ2. Two spades. I lead with $5 and MP and LP calls. MP is a calling station, so I figure he has a FD or any Q.

TURN. $20. 8.No spade. I bet $22. MP thinks and calls. LP folds. I like it.

River $60+. T. No spades. I dont liuke that card much . Villain could have any hand. A nine is not likely but could be Q9. This guy is really bad. Anyway, he has 20+ left. He might fold a weak Q because he chases a lot and then folds on the river. I only bet 10 but he pushes his remaining 10+. I called and he flips 99. OMG. .

I really dont know how I came out with a solid win on this session because I really was tillting for a while. I stood up and wanted to stay playing. After a while I was playing very well and a few awful guys sit at both y tables and I managed to have a 3.5buy in stack.

After all, the day was only a marginal loss but I played nearly 2K hands (maybe more). If I take out the 50 i called by mistake at FTP, I had another day on the green. Not bad after yesterdays 800+...

Monday Jan. 30th.

I lost another 80E in 5 hours 3tabling NL100E 6 max. I was up 230E at some point and all of the sudden they kept pushing stupid draws and hitting. I have been doubting about my edge on this game but, SHIT! How the PHUCK am I supposed to win like this:

Hand 1.

I have KK in MP and UTG+1 raises to $4. I reraises to $16 he reraises to $32. I flat call.

Flop. AK9. He checks and I push $80. He calls with AA.

Maybe some of you can let it go but I cant. I thought it was possible but after all the crazy shit I have seen I just cant fold a set of K, even with villain representing AA. If he has it, Im screwed. Besides, villain was pretty bad and had already stacked me when he hit a set of 8s a couple days ago....that hand is posted here and laso in NL section with subject "AA.".

Hand 2

I have 56s on the button and raise to $4 after 1 limper. BB calls and limper in MP calls. They both have full stacks and I have 160.

FLOP. $12. Q - 7 - 4. Two spades. it doesnt get any much better. It s checked to me and I was thinking about getting a free cards but I have a very strong draw and dont want a higher flush to hit with me. I bet $16. Both call.

Turn $8. I complete. BB bets $10. MP calls. I raise all in and BB calls, MP folds.

River is a 5 and he flips 69.


Hand 3.

A moron on the SB raises to $3, I am the only one left on the BB and flat called with AA.

Flop. A - 7 - 5. He leads with $6 and I raise to $18. He flat calls.

Turn. $35. K. He leads again with 20 and I put him in. He had 15 left and calls.

River is a J and he shows QT for the runner runner str8.

OMG!!!

After that, I pushed a couple very good draws knowing that I was going to be called. A total $80 more in those hands.

When I was running really bad back in august I started an exercise. I started taking notes on how much I lost in stupid moves and register the totals under stupidity losses. I am not talking about tough spots as the one of hand 1. I am talking about plain stupid moves. Calls when you know you are beat and all that crap. I have started again. I have to say i lost 100E due to stupidity today. That is counting both draw pushes.

Pokerihuone.com . Hands: 900. -80E.
Stupidity losses: -100E.

I am editing to add the night session.

I dont know how many hands I played. I know I lost another 335. This is how:

Hand 1.
I am dealt AK in MP. I raise to $5 after one limper. Only the player to my right calls.

Flop. $11. AK2. He checks. I bet 12 he calls.

Turn. $35. 6. Two spades on the board. Villain leads with 25 and I raise all in. He has full stack and so have I. He calls with the flush draw and gut shot str8 draw and hits the river with the spade.
-100E.


Hand 2.

I am dealt QT in the BB. SB completes and all other 4 players limp.

FLOP. $6. 8 9 J. Rainbow. I lead with $5. two callers and CO raises to 25. I reraise to $75 and he pushes his 110. I had him covered and called.

Turn was another 9 and he had 88. -110E


Hand 3.

In this hand, villain is a maniac. He has a double stack (200E) because he stacked a good player when he hit his set of 7s all in preflop vs. AA.

I have AKs. and raise to $5 after two limpers. maniac is on SB and raises to 12. I flat call thinking that I am paying his AA if he hits. He's been bullying th table and I think TPTK is enough to get him.

FLOP. $23. KK3. He bets $30 and I pushed.

He called and had 33. I didnt hit any other A or the K.

Now, I have to admit the following hands I was already too excited to be playing but, DAMMIT!.

Hand 4.


I have KK in MP and raise to $5. SB calls. H-e is a calling station.

FLOP. $11. QJ3 with two spades. He checks and I bet 13. He calls.

Turn. $37. 2. No spade. He checks and I bet 40. He min raises and I know I am beat but called.

He flipped Q2 and took it down as I didnt improve on the river.

Hand 5.

I have AA in the CO. I raise to $4.5 after one limper. Only SB calls.

The flop. K 2 3 with two diamonds. SB bets pot and I pushed. he called with 33 and I didnt improve.


I hit only two sets and none were paid off. I hit quads twice and got paid once by a mid stack. I should have lost a lot with pocket pairs because I was getting way too many of them in raised pots but none hit.

I deposited 900E yesterday at pokerihuone and got only 290 left after 2K+ hands.

Is it possible to win like this? Well, before today I was checking my jan. stats and I was at 4.66PTBB/100 after 10466 hands at NL$100. I found that amazing and unbelieveable. Now, that rate should be 1PTBB/100 fr the month.
