..that's today..less then 800 hands...

.. i shouldn't bluff like this..

...
.. i didnt know what to do, so I decided to misplay it completely..

.. i really misclicked but it doesnt look so, right? meh..

Very good to see things are running smooth m8.

Weeeeeeeeeeee

After talking to Jossnaz today I've immediately decieded to withdraw a large chunk of my bankroll from PacificPoker. I've put into motion a withdrawal of $10,000 which should be processed in 3 days to my moneybookers account (for some reason, Pacific's withdrawals always take 3 days no matter what) and from there I'll probably ship those $10k to my Austrian bank account and invest it in something "safer" then what I am investing right now.

One of the main reasons for withdrawing and shipping the money to Euros is that Dollar is getting weaker and weaker and weaker and I don't want to be the speculator saying when it will go up or will it go further down or whatever. One thing I am certain of is that it won't go up quickly enough or soon enough, so there's really no point in waiting for that to happen when I can change the USD to EUR ASAP and start investing.
The other reason is obv. that I don't need $20k to just sit on an online gaming site; I am even thinking of withdrawing additional $5k which would leave me with around $3.5k and I think it should be enough for NL200 and small NL400 stabs like I am doing now. About that, I'll think later..

I think I've pretty much decided on a laptop I'll buy.. It should be 13.3" Toshiba U300-111 and should cost me a bit less then $2k here. The other models are just way too expensive for me to consider right now. Maybe I'll look into buying a laptop in Austria if it's cheaper or something and then just traffic it to Croatia.. dunno.. Must thnk about that.

So, poker.. Inspired by I have started to work (on my own) on incorporating more bluffing and thus aggression into my game. So far, and it's a very small sample still, it seems to work out nicely but I can see that it completely changes my game so I am a bit afraid of that TBH.
Until I started doing this, most of my profits basically came from winning at showdown and finding lines to get me to showdown with better hands. That means that I also went to showdown quite a lot for a sTAG(!?). On the other hand, I was losing money on the hands that didn't go to showdown, so in between those two were my poker profits.
So far, I have noticed that my WtSD has lowered significantly, that my aggression numbers went up and that I win at more showdowns. This time around, I win some money in non-showdown pots as well.
The key would be obviously to keep going to showdown and winning the pots that I was winning before (lines that take me to showdown), and the rest of the time bluff my way up the non-showdown winnings.

Obv. I need to work on this and hopefully I will find a stable, optimal and precise balance between the two.

Here's the graph of the month so far.. I am running a bit hotter on All-In EV it seems, but in the grand scheme of things (referring to all time graph obv.) it's not that much and it's not even that much noticable..

wow I ran retarded today.. take a second to look at the graph and calculate it..



Here are the hands..
.. This is me tilted against a 64/20 who keeps hitting vs. me for 3 days straight..
.. against a TAGfish who I was certain is on AK once he only called my 3bet... had him right where I wanted him then..
.. the guy from hand 1
.. another TAGfish who I'm 3beting mercyless and now he plays back.. lol
.. I had outs.. : )
.. another genius that plays 16/6.. ps. I lose with set
.. ps2. I lose with top set
.. guess what? JJ lose again..

so, pretty fcked up meh day EV wise.. you got better beats today?

I don't get the river raise on the first hand.
76s hand looks like tilt.

The rest look reasonably standard, and some pretty bad beats.

meh he had a straight flush draw prf.

i played 3885 hands today.. never have I played so many hands in a day.. I've got nothing but bad beats and stupid plays to show for it.. it's the 2nd session that did the damage, it starts around the peak.. here's the graph..



not gonna post hands since i don't have the nerves to right now.. I lost 14 times today when I invested $200 or more dollars (all on NL200 obv) and good amount of those I was a big fav. .. but hey, that's poker..

What concerns me more is that I got an email from Cassava Operations which handles Pacific cashouts and whatnot.
Apparently, they want me to send them my notarized passport copy and notarized utility bill together with some statement that i need to sign in order for them to process the $10,000 I withdrew 3 days ago.
Also, there's a $10k limit for withdrawal per month and normally max. is $5k. Both of those solutions are FUBAR imo..
Of course, they say they do it because of me and in my best interests, but I somehow never get that feeling..
I've sent them scanned bank card and scanned passport and have no intention of notarizing the documents for them as I think that's moronic and is expensive in Croatia..

That's about it..
