kewl.. played some more... not much.. 200 hands only cause I am tired, but managed to win some again... again, I made a mistake once, but it could easily be twice.. only thing that really helped me was that I read a guys bluff and this actually is the biggest winner for the day..
also, I noticed that people bluff a lot at i4poker.. i don't understand why, but they do..

so, here is the loss..
.. i actually thought this is also a bluff..

and here is the win.. where I called the bluff..
... imagine the 5 on the river..

so... my i4poker bankroll now looks like this
189€

p.s. i will post the bankroll in red when it gets (HOPEFULLY NEVER AGAIN) bellow 150€ on this site since that is the amount I deposited...

finally I broke the deadlock and went out of red at NL10 at i4poker.. I was down around $65 (cca. 50€) at NL10, but I was up some at NL20 so I finally decided that I will not play NL20 until I can get back to positive result at NL10.. Today, I got back, and NO, I will not jump to NL20 because of that.. I plan on grinding the NL10 on the good wave of my play..

Since the time I started the NL10, my PT stats and the way I played NL10 6max changed a lot... After first 5667 hands I was $80 down .. That was May 01.
My stats were: 24/10/1.82/ 22% / 51% ... -5 PTBB/100
I managed to get some winning sessions with the losing ones at that time so the numbers might be a bit misleading since I actually remember being more of 18/8 player, but I might be wrong and probably the above are the real stats..
I had a problem with laying down what I thought were good hands when I was beaten and I didn't pay much attention (at the time I thought I did) to things like "what range is going to call here if I bet 3/5 pot" etc...
I think I improved that part of my game somewhat, and now the stats from May 02 to May 05 show a somewhat different story..4000 hands..
My stats for that period are: 24/12/2.23 / 21% / 57%... more importantly, $95, or 8.56 PTBB/100

So, overall.. I played 9747 hands at NL10 with stats:
23/11/1.98 / 22% / 54% ... 0.6 PTBB/100, or $14

LoL, I know it's not much, but Its WAAAAY better than being around 8 stacks down and hopefully I know how to play this level now, and can keep this pace..

As for todays session.. I had 2,3 interesting hands..
.. goot for me, bat for them..
..you just HAVE TO LOVE THIS ONE.. precious ... insta-classic.. everybody is talking about it, but didn't happen to many of us

that's about it..
oh, yes, my i4poker bankroll is
206€

huh.. I had to quit this session ... this was actually my 2nd session today and in first one, I was up 23€ in 200 hands but I had to leave so I stopped playing...
second one started 700 hands ago and I am down 30€. So, basically, I donked todays winnings and managed to lose additional 13€..
I realize I lost mostly to my BAD play so I figured I better stop and continue tomorrow before I lose everything...
here are the worst hands:
.. for some reason, I thought I might be 50-50 or even in front.. I was wrong..
.. i never saw villain chase the gutshot.. unfortunately for me, he got it right away, with my 2nd pair, and then it was just matter of making my mistakes bigger..
.. what I am I supposed to do here? please, advise...
.. this one is just ugly.. why o why did I have to get a set here...
.. simple mistake, not much money lost, but could have gone without it..

so, my current i4poker bankroll is
193€

ahhhhhhhhhhh..

it all went to zanzibar... i don't even care to post the hands anymore..
all I have to say is that I lost most of the winnings from the last few days and I am now back in red... not much red, but still red... I am at 149€ at i4poker... only good thing today that happened was that I received postal mail from i4poker with a t-shirt and a pack of /lousy quality/ cards.. the shirt is nice..

just to summarize.. I have a set, I pound, they get flush, I dont improve... 3 times.. I have AQ, they have AJ with flop AQJ, I lose because J comes either on turn or river... then I titled around 15€ and that's about it... I played like 600 hands again, and in those hands all PP's and all AK,AQ that I had, I lost to draws and better hands in the end.. AA,KK and QQ weren't called PF ONCE, but AK,AQ,AJ were called by things like KT, Q9, J7 etc. ... so, tomorrow I get the 20€ bonus from the site and I will try and play this site until the end of the month.. then I will hopefully get some small amount of rakeback and then I am off to another (bigger) bonus...

one more thing about last 2 sessions... I think I know what cold deck really means ...

my i4poker roll
149€

yeah.. so go fuck yourself you fucking poker... GO FUCK YOURSELF IN THE ASS...
I hate this shit and it keeps coming at me against these mother phucking donks who have 80% VP$P an 79% went to showdown...

i got an email today from party poker saying that they will give me $5 for free if I log in to my account and click the "claim bonus"... so I did, and money was there instantly. I don't want to deposit there for the time being, so I took those $5 and sat at the NL5 table with 3 people there. Since I didn't care much about that money I started playing very loosely and VERY aggressively.. Something like PF raise of .32 (blinds are .02/.04) and overbetting the pot constantly by almost a double. when I hit I got paid off by people not believing me.. so, in the beginning I was losing about a buck and a half, but then in 15 minutes i went to $10 by terrorizing the table (it was full by then) and as cream on top I got 4 of a kind on flop while I was OTB and DIDN'T raise PF... I got like 2 short stack all ins there.. so, that's about it.. I am looking for another poker site since I withdrew money from i4poker yesterday after I played more than 2000 hands on 2 tables of NL20 and lost 5 buyins for the day. I was losing 9 buyins but I won some so in the end it was a 5 buy in downswing, and downswing it was. if I had sets 15 times, they were cracked by the river 7 times either by flush or by some runner or better 2 outer.. other 5 times I didnt get a call on my set and the rest I managed to make money on... one in particular stays in my mind. I had 33 OTB and raised PF, BB reraised double and I called. flop was KQ3 and he bets pot, I push and he calls with AA.. i win... that was I think only 1 in 3 times that I won with set and I pushed here because it was kind of "now or never".. at that point i had 45€ at that table and I was still 25€ down at the table...
ya... so, my current overally bankroll is $310 which means I lost $40 since the time I deposited $350 at empire poker for their bonus ($70) and since I deposited $200 at i4poker for their bonus (20€).. at least I got to order a hat from i4poker for 1000 VIP points that I got playing there. I already got a starter package in form of a t-shirt which is really nice and deck of cards which are average to low quality..
I am thinking of maybe depositing $200 at PokerStars since there is bound to be LOTS of fishy and bad players there since its the biggest site, and I will play NL10 6-max if it's available (which I think it is) and hopefully I will be able to make some progress there.. I was thinking of trying to get a bonus or two, but i think I will leave it until I will have around $500 (hopefully that will happen) and when I start playing NL25 and NL50.. those are the limits I plan on grinding the bonuses out.. otherwise I will stay out of it...
nuff for now...
