Glad I could help you smile Xaston. I put in another session today that lasted a little over an hour that was good for a couple of buy ins. I hope my bad streak has come to an end ......'knock on wood', because I have been kicking ass for a few sessions now. I will be pulling out a nice little chunk for Christmas here in a couple of days. I can't wait till this damn holiday is over.

I will be getting my rakeback any day now so that will be a nice bumb in the range of $500. Now I am off to play in a DS tourney at Full Tilt 69+6, and 1st will get almost 8K. I could sure use it.

Current Bankroll- $9,196

Man, my poker is so much better when I am f*cked up. I just own people. I spend hours and hours owning people.

First thing's first. I went out 12th or 13th in the Iron Man Freeroll when my AK ran into AQ all in preflop and I F*UCKING LOST. I would have been the chip leader I think, and my M still would have only been around 16. That tourney was getting stupid, and for my hard work I got $180.

After the tourney I decided to own people at 1/2nl full ring. Four tables. In 2,429 hands I had a vpip of 23.1, my preflop raising was 15.44, my AF was 5.23, and I ran at 9.87 PTBB/100. Last night gave my bankroll the well deserved boost Ive been waiting for.

Thanks leatherface, I've been working on it for along time and it fianlly paid off.

I pullede out $1400 today so I could finish the rest of my Christmas shopping. I had another damn good day besides being set over setted when I was A HUGE FAVORITE on the turn when the money got in. Oh well, a hole through a wall and lesson learned... Don't play perfect poker. I made 600 in the cash games and another 34 on a tourney when I got busted by KJ who made a brilliant call against my 99. I would have crippled the f*cker if I had won. It pays to be a poker player.

There is something wrong with me. I only want to play poker while I am drinking. I have been doing very well while drinking. This has led to me drinking WAY more than I should be. I keep making a bunch of money while drinking. I think I should use the money I make to pay for a liver transplant. Sounds good, problem solved. Im up another $750 today and I am abou tto play in a tourney. If I win I will make another post for the day.

I forgot to mention something last night that I found pretty interesting.

I was playing on six tables and I said to my watching brother, “Keep track of how much I make or lose here because I’m going to raise on every table no matter position or cards.” I decided to do this for two reasons. One, I figure if I raise with just garbage and hit big it will be good advertising value. Two, I’ve watched lolotrickedu play 12 tables at a time and every once in a while it seems like he just mashes the raise button on every table for no apparent reason. I’m guessing he does it for the first reason I listed.

Hand #1
Q9o from the CO
I raise and it’s folded around.
+$3

Hand #2
AQo from MP
I raise $9 and UTG calls. CB takes it down.
+$12

Hand #3
A3o $11 from button
I raise, UTG limp raises to 33 and I fold.
-$11

Hand #4
96o from MP
I raise $9 and get a caller from EP
I miss and my CB gets called. He leads in on the turn and I fold.
-$23

Hand #5
J8s from SB
Three limpers I raise to $12 and get two callers.
CB takes it down.
+$27

Hand #6
I raise 63o to $7 UTG+1, CO ($194) calls

Flop ($17)
J[c]2[d]4[d]
I bet $12
CO calls

Turn ($41)
5[s]
I check
CO bets $25
I CRAI for $429
CO calls

River ($388.30)
T[d]
Hero shows straight 2 to 6
CO shows three of a kind 2’s.
+194

Total Profit +$202

There’s nothing quite like raising the ol 36o under the gun and hitting the nut straight. I think I accomplished my advertising value goal on the one table.

I should also mention this month I have been trying to loosen up my game considerably. In my 40k hands before December at $200nl my stats looked like 12.9/6.3/3.9. I was winning at 2.88ptbb/100. In the month of December I am at 17/11.2/4.8 and I’m winning 6.72/ptbb100. In this month alone my overall ptbb/100 has increased nearly a full point. Hopefully I will be able to keep this up.

Grats on $10k man - big milestone IMHO

Thanks a lot... it's been a long time coming. If I had never pulled out a dime from my poker account I would be way over bankrolled for $1000nl. With the amount that I withdraw I am very happy to finally have a 10k bankroll.

Anyway, here's a graph of my last 100k hands. The first 1/3 is from $100nl. At one point I went 20k break even streak between 65k and 85k. I find these graphs very interesting, because that break even streak was very stressful and had me doubting my poker ability at $200nl, but on a graph of 100k hands it looks so insignifigant. I wish it were easier to think logically than emotionally when it comes to poker. lol

I played yesterday and got my ass kicked to the tune of $260 in an hour and a half. I flopped 5 sets and got paid off on two. I made a couple awesome bluffs that both got called. In one the guy had flopped a set and the turn and river brought the 3rd and 4th heart and also brought a 1 card str8. I threw out a $65 bet into a $95 pot on the river with an over pair and the guy called. A few hands later I watched him lose half a stack chasing an OESD on a paired board with two flush cards. I did not play well the entire session and decided to call it a day early.

Today I still was not playing my A game but I made $400 in an hour. The only reason I made money was because the cards were falling my way. I decided to call it a day because I knew I was off. Now I am drunk though, so............hmmm........I think I am going to play in a tourney. I will kick some F*CKING ASS.

I am a little annoyed with Full Tilt because they have not given me my rake back payment. I will give them until tomorrow before I blow up there headquarters. Or I will just sit and wait for my money. We'll see.

Current bakroll- A little over 10K

Last night was a blast. I placed 1st and 2nd in two 6 man 50+5 sngs. Then I got 13th I believe in a 69+6 DS tourney. I also made about $50 in a 100nl 6max game. The day could have been better, but I some how raised in the cash game and the tourney when I meant to fold. It cost me $50 in the cash game and it knocked me out of the tourney. We'll file that under the category of drunken misclicks.

Time for my favorite hand of the night.

Blinds T250/T500 and a T50 ante

I raise to T1550 in the CO with 8[s]4[s]. Only the BB calls who has T14000 I have him covered.

Flop (T3,700)
5[h]4[d]Q[h]

BB leads out for 2k and I make it T6,500. He calls.

Turn T(16,700)

4[h]

BB bets 2k and I put him all in and he calls with A[h]Q[d]

River is an ace and I take down the pot.

I am not posting this hand because I think I played it well. It is because of the response I got. Im sure most of us have stayed around a few minnutes to let our opponent know how stupid he is for knocking us out. Well, this guy let me know by telling me he was going to fly to where I live and slit my throat. I kindly let him know that he could have pushed me off the hand preflop or on the flop as I thought he was just making a stab for the pot. He kept insisting that he would find me and slit my throat. So, me being the good natured fellow I am I hit him with a series of WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA's, and he left shortly there after.

That was the first time somone told me that they were going to kill me. It was nice. My rake back came in so I am content.

I just had another great session. $647 in a little over an hour. I'll take that hourly rate any day of the week. I love having a job where I OWN people. Good fun. I did lose $80 in tourneys yesterday though.

Hand of the day.

I get 5[d]3[d] in the BB.

Villian is in the CO and raises to $6. The button calls, who was a half stacker, and so do I.

Flop ($19)
A[h]4[h]2[d]

I check because I know that if the original raiser does not bet the short stack bastard will. CO bets $13 and the button calls. I decide to CRAI because so many turn cards will scare or kill my action. The original raiser calls and the button folds. He had 2[s]2[h].

Turn ($420)
T[h]

That turn card scared the shit out of me because I just knew that he would suck out on me.

River
6[d]

Im glad I dodged that dreaded rive card killer.

I kick A$$ and that is all there is to it.
