I just copied the links from a google search. 500kb takes like what, 2 seconds for someone to see?
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

An image that size should only be around 50kb, 500KB will load fast if its coming from a fast server, however the server you are leeching from is slow.
Its kinda bad form to hotlink to someone else's image like that too
Throw it into your own webspace or photobucket etc.

What a fucking joke that session was. I basically started off playing some 2/4 and get off to a bad start. It just gets worse. I moved up to 3/6 and 5/10 because the games looked soft - and they were - but obv I can't do anything. After playing for a while my FTP roll is down to like $5k so I figure I'll play some 1/2 to build it back up. I get on the tables and it was just freaking ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Every table was very very soft and I was definitely running everybody over, except, I never had a hand hold up or a draw get there.
So these are just a few hands that sucked. There was this one guy sitting to my right who was playing a 70/5/1.5 style. He limp-called almost every hand and would call down with most pairs and gutshots postflop. He would play the river super passively and never bet his made hands, so you basically have to valuebet anything against him. Here's an example of his passivity: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1955261 and here's a hand that I won with ace-high http://www.pokerhand.org/?1955169. I was basically isolating him with a very very wide range and trying to hit something and valuebet him to death postflop. Ace-high should be good enough a lot of the time. I did not win ONE, FUCKING, EVEN MEDIUM sized pot against him. The following are a series of hands we played, in no particular order. Addmittedly my play degenerated and I made a few wrong decisions, but jesus christ this guy pissed me off so much. A shitty end to an even shittier session. Anyway, the hands:
(I was short because of the last hand)
And a whole lot of more hands like this.
My favourite however, is one you won't believe. This hand is the epitome of how my session went. Seriously, fuck:
This is an EV graph of me at 1/2:
And this is one at 2/4:
All up for the day:
13hrs 57mins
7,201 hands
-$4,794.40
/life.
I'll probably take tomorrow off and then play a short session on Sunday at 1/2 to rebuild my roll/confidence.

Misery loves company obv. ty sir.
Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

Yeah, today was a good day.
I put in 4 sessions, albeit all were fairly short. I started off feeling super dejected after yesterday so I decided to shortstack for a while. I played mostly 2/4 but dabbled in some 3/6 and 1/2. It was kinda fun for a while but after seeing how many bad players were around and on the tables, I just had to buy-in full. I played the rest of my sessions at 1/2.
Sessions
#1: 1hr 48mins, 1095 hands, +$610.15
#2: 1hr, 25mins, 943 hands, +$1193.60
#3: 1hr 44mins, 1228 hands, +$659.15
#4: 55mins, 232 hands, +$432.35
