Chicken would be a good replacement...

When you're making pizza stony ... is it possible to use anything multigrain or flavourful for the crust? Or is it pretty much white-flour based only?

I love pizza with tomato, cheese, prosciutto, salami, kulen, ham, eg and hot pepperoni..

Entered 10 of the $22 SnG's on party. Didn't cash in any. That makes at least 21 SnGs in a row without cashing. I've stopped noting what hands I lose to because it just seems to weird. I raise AA in MP, EP limper pushes. I call, he has 44, set on the river. Next AA, I raise, button calls with Q9. Flop comes KKQ, I bet, he calls, turn is a brick, I push, he calls. River is a Q.

I've never gone 21 sngs without cashing before. Frankly I think SnGs are probably my strongest game. It's not like the games are hard either. People are playing like retards. In the cash game yesterday I got it all-in THREE WAYS with KK on a 963 flop. My opponents had 97 and J9. Of course turn was a 7 to make sure the worst hand won. Or my favorite, the guy who check/called the flop and then check/raised all-in with a gutshot on the turn against my set. He klonks. Yeah it will even out in tje long run... but the long run is really fucking long. Also, am I gonna be all-in with a set against a gutty often enough to make up for this? Pretty fucking unlikely.

I also stacked off with TP against a set, that was just bad play. All-in all, total bankroll is now down to 1k or so. Pretty fucking pathetic. This run needs to end now.

Maybe the run has ended. At least the last two sessions on the swedish site have been sucessful. Yesterday I bagged a $200+ win in an hour and today I netted twice that. I played three big pots where I was a favorite in one, had opponent drawing dead in one, and was behind in one. I won all three.

First was one where I had 75s in spades playing NLT 5-max. I called a raise from a newcomer when I am on the button, blinds call too. Flop comes J54 with two spades. Checked to pfr who overbets the pot a bit, I just flat push. He tanks for a long time and calls. I'm thinking AJ/KJ since I expect most people to call quicker with an overpair. Turn and river are bricks. He flips over A8o, ace high is no good sir but thanks for calling. My 5's drag it.

Second hand was against the same guy. I limp K8s in spades otb. Flop comes KJx with two spades. Moron bets right below pot, I raise 4x his bet or so. He calls. Turn brings another spade, he check/calls my 2/3 bet. River is a brick and he checks. I decide to just overbet push it, he calls pretty quickly with J5o. Second pair no kicker is no good sir, but thanks for calling. That was his last chips and he leaves.

Tha last hand here was actually one of my first hands. I havce T8s in clubs otb and raise two limpers. Flop comes T64 with two clubs and is 4-way. Guy in the CO leads into me. Hmm, I figure him for something like 88-77 or KT to JT. I raise him. He 3-bets allin. Oops, well I've priced myself in so I call. He has 44 but I ship a non-pairing club.

After winning last time and doubling up early I felt I could play my A game. I also played some of my new favorite game, 5 card draw, which I have only booked one losing session in since I started playing it.

Had a short and good one hour session yesterday where I made almost $100, and had another nice one today where I made a bit over twice that in two hours.

Five card draw really appeals to me. My initial impression is that it is VERY low variance, which at first seems counter intuitive I guess. The sessions are very pleasant so far at least. I'm usually picking up small and medium pots all the time, slowly growing my stack, then I win a big pot or lose a small/medium one. Even though I am myself very new to this game I find my opponents in general do a LOT of mistakes.

- Open-limping too much. I think you need to be raising every time you open in this game, for value, to buy position and to establish an image as an aggressive player in order to get paid later.

- Calling raises with small pairs and draws. A lot of people will cold-call a raise with a flush draw or a small pocket pair. This is just akin to pissing away money. Especially out of position. It also leads to the next point..

- Bluffing too little or (rarely) too much. These players arten't even close to optimal bluffing frequency and I think it is more important in this game than many others. The majority of players fall into one of two categories, those who call with their draws and small pairs then check/fold when they miss, and those who will always bluff, and will call raises with silly stuff like AJ8s just to "outplay" you after the draw. Both are great to play with.

- Being too passive. Lots of players will not only open-limp with big pairs and small two-pairs, but not bet enough after the draw either.

Basically this boils down to them not getting paid off on their hands, and paying me off (the bluffy ones who always suspect everyone else are bluffing) or folding to my bluffs (the weak ones who are only playing their own hand).

Made about $100 each on 5CD and NLT today but dumped a (small) buying playing PLO8. So far, of all the games I play, I think I've won the least in PLO8. Just can't seem to get it right. Today I got quartered twice and finally busted with the nut low draw and counterfeit protection + pair which failed to improve. Don't know if I played the hands horribly or not.

Anyway it's a good start to the month. Oh, and it'smy birthday today. Got a huge toaster, a rucksack, a pair of shoes and the board game Junta from my better half. Exchanged the shoes into a better pair but other than that, I'm happy as a pig in shit.

Happy Birthday..

Grattis pŒ fšdelsedagen!

Did you ever take one of those dumps where afterwards it feels like you just got off a 12 hour night shift? I was just totally beat. Had oatmeal and some rough bread for breakfast which would explain it I guess. Don't get me wrong, it felt great, but it did leave me kind of tired.

After resting up some I decided to put in a session. I've played a sum total of 3 hours this month up until now and even though the results have been good, I need to start making some money for the summer. Started a draw poker table that never really got going. the players were really tight for once, so I loosened up and stole a few pots, but it didn't feel meaningful to play with such a small edge so I quit and started some shorthanded Hold'em tables to keep going. I also spent some time playing SNG's and enetered a MTT that I busted out of pretty early all-in preflop with AK against AJ. Most of the fun stuff happened at the shorthanded Hold'em tables though, with blinds $.50 and $1 and a max buyin of $200. I always buy in for $100 when I sit down. This is the Swedish site, so no PT available, but I will recreate the hands from the sites HH's.

#1
One of my first hands of the session I pick up 33 and call a raise. Flop brings an Ace and a 3. I check/call a decent bet. Turn gives me quads. I check, he bets again and I make a small check/raise (it's a monster people!). He calls. River is insignificant and I am debating whether to make a smallish valuebet or push. I figure a push could make him fold AK or KK (which is what I think he has), so I valuebet half pot. He raises me. Huh? No... don't tell me... I push, he calls. Yep. He had AA. Off to a good start

#2
I've got 66 in MP and open raise to $3, BB mini-reraises me. Bah. I decide to show who's boss and 4-bet to $18 being all macho and shit. He flat calls with his silly QQ, flop brings a 6 and he goes busto with his overpair.

#3
I've got QQ in the small blind. One limper, then button raises to $3. Button has raised several hands since I sat down so I'm thinking he's pretty loose preflop, he also seems aggro postflop. I re-raise to $10, limper gets out of the way and it is heads up.

Flop comes all rags and pot has $22 in it. With no draw out I decide to make a very small bet to intduce a bluff. I bet $5 and he promptly raises to $12, I re-raise to $22. He thinks and calls.

Turn is an off suit deuce, I make a small bet again, $6 and he just calls. River is a queen giving me the 3:d nuts, 64 and A4 actually beat me. I push, he calls and mucks.

#4
CO open raises to $4, SB calls and I call in the BB with 66. SB is short with $70, CO has a bit over $160 and I have them covered.

Flop comes 86Q with two clubs. SB leads out $5 into the $12 pot, I pop it to $20. Co and small blind calls. Ok. Hmm..

I'm fairly sure SB has a draw or TP hand, but what does CO have? My range for him is KQ, AQ, QQ, KK and AA. Maybe AKs. Maybe JJ. Pretty wide. Anyway I am only behind to one hand.

Turn is a brick and SB checks, I bet $39 which is 2/3 pot. CO flat calls again and SB now pushes his last chips in, I call (only $2 more so no reopened betting). As do CO of course.

River is the case 6 giving me the quadzor nutz0r. I pushy-pushy, It's $75 to him. He tanks. Clock almost runs out. Suprise!! He was slowrolling QQ for the nut full! Well joke's on him obviously. I say "Nice slowroll, moron" and he leaves.

#5
Loose guy on the right who beat me in a decent sized pot just before this raises to $3. He makes a lot of small raises preflop. I call on the button with 78s and BB comes along.

Flop comes 378 with a heart draw. BB checks and he leads for $5 (he underbets often). I raise to $19 and he calls. Turn is another 8, he leads into me again for $7 this time. I raise to $36, he re-raises to $76, I push, he calls. He has and misses, I drag a $260 pot. The best thing. I reloaded to 200bb just before this hand happened to cover him.

#6
UTG limps and it is folded to me in the SB. I have QQ and raise to $5. Now UTG mini-re-raises me. Hmpf. This is very often AA/KK so I just call to see a flop.

Flop comes J75 with two diamonds.

I check, he pushes for over $130 into the $20 or so pot. Wtf? I tank for a while but decide this looks more like a scared "go away" bet with a medium pair or missed AK. I don't think he wants me to call so I disappoint him and do just that. He flips TT and I hold up. Booyah!

I did lose one really huge pot all-in three ways with middle set against top set and some incredible guy who managed to stick around with a pair of sevens while me and mr Top Set were putting in our chips by the handfulls. 77 guy actually minibet the river, I pushed, top set called all in and this guy STILL thinks his underpair might be good and calls. Pretty amazing.

Can't complain about set over set though, not after having my lower sets turin into quads not once, but twice in this session. Dumped a few chips playing SnG's and a MTT, and my draw poker game never got going (won like $5), but ended up winning almost $600 for the day which is huge for me. Actually my best session since January 30:th.

I actually had almost the same feeling after this session as after my bathroom session earlier. Tired, but happy and relieved.
