You know, I've come to realise that I was simply playing really shit for the first half of this month. During my downswing I had less than average luck, sure, but my play was really bad. Even before I started to lose my play wasn't very good either. I was just so rusty from having not played in months and I thought I knew what I was doing/was playing well but I wasn't.

I spent the last couple of days playing fewer tables, watching videos from Cardrunners and Leggo Poker and reading a tonne of 2p2. I've looked at my game and seen a tonne of areas where I can improve and am really glad to have done so. My results have been good and I've been very pleased with the way that I'm playing.

Another thing I've decided I want to do is play a lot more HU NLHE and more tournaments. HU because I think it will really improve the rest of my game + it's good to mix things up + it's really fun, and tournaments because they're a whole new type of poker to explore and there is a lot of money to be made playing them.

Anyway, results for today:

Sessions

#1: 2hrs 38mins, 1192 hands, +$2,151.70
#2: 29mins, 92 hands, +$63.25
#3: 3hrs 8mins, 800 hands, +$776.00
#4: 35mins, 108 hands, +$130.05

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.


(9:00:09 PM) GodlikeRoy: i think you could prolly post total shit for the next 2 years aaaaand like 192 days and you'll still be considered 'posting good' cause of your threads that'll never be seen thread

The week just started for me (4am on Monday morning atm), and I guess I could 1-table now and 8 table later to bring the average up but I think with the way we worded the bet we have to have a minimum of 3 tables being played at once for it to count, not simply have a MT ratio of > 3.

Well the first week of my bet with hard2tel has ended. I logged 52.9 hours which I feel safe to say is probably the most hours in a week I've put in playing poker in like a year, and there have probably only been 2-3 weeks like this in my entire poker career.

I started off on a real bad downswing due to bad luck + bad play but have pulled myself out of it pretty damn nicely if I do say so myself, with this being my last 2-3 days:

Image

HU is going tremendously well and I'm absolutely destroying the 1/2 games (lol I know 1/2, but w/e). I was playing one guy earlier and he was pretty bad. We started off with $200 each and about 10 minutes later my stack was $750 and he had to rebuy back to $200. 10 minutes after that my stack was $200 and his was $900. SO SICK. Either way, I have 1,309 hands logged and am up $1,204.10. I'm not even running that well playing HU, I'm just playing the bad players and they're giving me their stacks $63.81 at a time.

I purposely waited until midnight ticked over last night/this morning before starting my session so the hours would count towards this new week's bet with hard. Most of the day was spent 3-4 tabling a mix between FR, 6max and HU cash while playing 1-2 tourneys on the side. I didn't cash in any of the donkaments (I still don't know why I play them) and ended up down about $250 after a series of HU SNGs. Still up about $1.3k for the day after playing for about 8.8 hours.
