I've been playing with pokerstove just now to take a look at some of the starting hands I think are most profitable for play. I based the profitability on my own database and hands that show either profit, or are close to break even.

So, as it turns out, it's 20,4% of the hands and they couldn't be easier to find and remember.

AA, AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KK, KQ, KJ, QQ, QJ, JJ, JT, TT, T9, 99, 98, 88, 87, 77, 76, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22

That's all of them right there. These are the hands I should play and play properly to make even more profit. The rest should be just discarded.

I player 73 hands on NL200 today. made $220. Player 1200 hands on NL100 today: made $1,55. lol

Lovely day today, ain't it?

Since I am currently very interested in PF 3betting and 4betting theory and practice, I think it might be useful to post the articles I find interesting and valuable.

and to illustrate the day. here's a graph..

yeah... so, I played some more... and you know what... today really is a joke... -$400, and I was $200 up at the beginning of the day..

fcking joke .. AK<AQ, AK<A9, AQ<AJ, AJ<A7, couple of 2outers FTW before and here's the graph of today..

STD.

variancetastic!!!

from not getting anything yesterday when I should have, I got it ALL back today, and I wasn't all in once.. talking bout variance, run, cold, hot, etc.

I was playing up to 7am today, finished the day at -$375 although I was at -$740 or so at one point seriously considering moving to NL50 (which I did on 1 table cause there was a MAJOR donk sittin there with $400).. so, today I woke up at 14:30 (that's 2:30pm) and till 5pm I am back at square 1. $0 I played more then 3000 hands yesterday, and I can't have more then 4 tables. Go figure..

The graph says it all for the last 2 days.



On a brighter note, i have regulars at the site sitting at the table and saying this:

Soon1984 >> how u have been doing RedBarracuda?
Dealer >> (Hand# 169353075) Lfc0Sale won $8, didn't show hand
Soon1984 >> ready to stack me?
Dealer >> (Hand# 169353129) Lfc0Sale won $30.90, didn't show hand
RedBarracuda >> ready.
I changed my screen name into my recognizable one to "protect" myself

so, apparently I am breaking even for the last couple of days with swings of +400 to -400 or more... Today again, 600 hands for -300, read, whatever I made yesterday,, Pretty sick.

I postfressed my PT database and it works fine so far.

Variance is a bch... day in day out. With me it's literally 1 day winning another losing..

pacific: $4760

I've been going through the same shit lately.



Not as big of swings, but plenty of them.

wow

i know you well enough to know that i'm looking at a whole lot of random unlikely card-run bullshit in that graph. (talking to Oats)

Red: run hotter dood. Hey we should talk on skype again soon ...
