nice turnaround, Alex... keep it up. and remember, no bluffing.

Way to bust out of your streak.

Its amazing how well solid (if somewhat unimaginative) poker can do sometimes.


Keep it up!

Wednesday.

I played at Martin´s for 4 hours 3-tabling.

Lost 62EUR.

I am in fact very happy because I have been playing very well. Not A game but we could say C+ or B-, which is a development.

I really cant believe the hard time I am going through. I cant hit anything and when I do, somebody hit their 2-4 outers. Today, I played better but the badbeats are getting even worse. I hit a couple decent hands that got paid off and that is why I didnt end up losing another 300EUR. I was 100 up once and was 180 down later. It´s been a rollercoasters and I didnt bluffed once. I wont even post any hands because they are making my stomach...move weird!

This kind of streak was not in my plans. This journal has got so boring because of it!

The only good news I have is that i put some more raked hands and only need 650 more to clear the 600EUR bonus. I might leave the damned site with only 50 bucks less in the bankroll if I manage to at least break even tommorrow when I finally clear it.

We´ll see.

Alex... I've been sufferin through the same crap as you there... For me, it's not so much bad beats as just bad luck... Like getting set over setted and boat over boated in one day... I'm nowhere near the bonus as you apparently are, but I figure if I lose 200e and make 600e, I'm still up pretty decent... Prolly a crappy attitude to take, but that's what I've got...

I have 640euros lost in martin´s.

I´ve calculated loss in this downswing and I am 8.43 buy ins down. I feel sick just thinking about it.

If I clear Martin´s bonus breaking even from now on I´d be only 40eur down. That is the worse way to see it but I need mental health to beat the game again.

This HAS to change someday. Thank God for he bonus and the 50+ buy ins bankrolls!

I will start playing now and maybe will get he 650 raked hands today to leave the damned site.

later....

eh..don't worry about the buyin loss at bodog....it happens. they are so bad sometimes you just cannot win. I'm sure it will turn around for the better very soon.

you may wanna post some of your hands on here (your losing ones i guess?) i kinda wanna take a look.

Kenny,

I didnt get any remarkable hand todday. I played for 4 hours 4-tabling and finished the reload at Martin´s. Also finished with a whoooooping 43E winning in the two days. In the last three days, I have played 12+ hours and i am breaking even at the tables but cleared 200E in bonus, so I have 240USD in 12 hours for 20/hour.

In terms of money, poker can be OK even breaking even if one bonuswhore. I´ll stick to that.

Today i made 69E, but I was near 200 at some point. Lost the 100E in lots and lots of small pots, mostly without showdowns.

I´ll leave Martin´s until they have another reload like this one.

Next: Betfred Poker. I am after their 250USD sign up bonus at 5x raked hands.

Wednesday Dec. 21.

I played at Bodog on one NL$100 table:

Hands: About 100. (1.5hours)
Amount won: 34.95

I didnt get many hands but one made up. I had AA on the BB and LP raises to $3. Button calls and I raise to 10. Both players called.

Flop was A - T - A I checked and both opponents checked.

Turn. 9. I check. LP bet $5. Button folds and I call.

River. 8. I bet $19 and villains calls with QQ.

I was going to check but I dont think he would have bet that board.


No comments. I have all day tommorrow to put some hours and clear some bonuses!
