7-buyin downswings have consistently been my longest.

I had one at .5-1, one at 1-2, and had one at 2-4NL last week.

usually 5.5 buyin loss from badbeats, 1.5 buyins tilt is how it usually breaks down.

He's back.
Current mood: thirsty

Played two very kind sessions, short sessions on friday and saturday. Won all that $1400 back plus a few extra dollars in about 5 hours. So much for a losing streak.

I've been continuing playing a mix of 1/2 and 2/4 games. I may just go back to 1/2 though... I'm still not comfortable with the size of the pots. If I lose just 3 buyins... I'm down $1200...

I have more then 20 buyins for 2/4, and I even have all my bills for next month paid already. (Well, I have the money in my bank account to pay I mean.) Yet, I still don't feel comfortable. I think it's due to the fact my bankroll money is irreplacable. If I lose my bankroll, or most of it, I have no way to put more in. ahhhh...the downside of being a poker professional.

I hope this good streak continues. I'm not sure at what point I'm gonna make the full move to 2/4, but it will likely be next month. wish me luck.

I must be very cautious with regards to bankroll. I have over 40 buyins for the next level but still don't feel 'safe' enough to take the step. That is with a decent full time job, so I can reload my account if i bust. I don't blame you for taking your time stepping up without the backup of another job.

Monster day
Current mood: happy

Well after another bad run, I decided to leave Prima for a while. I always go crawling back there eventually, but I needed a change of scenery. Can only take bad beats so many times. Here's a list of them from my last day there, if you're curious: forum/viewtopic.php?t=6829

So I switched to Bodog today. I deposited $2000, and they promptly gave me a $400 bonus. How nice of you Bodog, I kiss you.

I decided to hell with it, and jumped on three 2/4NL tables. I figured it's time to move up and I just needed to get it over with. The fear of losing lots of money is real, but I know I'll handle it eventually.

Anyway, the first 45 minutes of play were littered with bad beat after bad beat. It was amazing. I lost to 3 and 4 outers repeatedly (Sorry about all the bitching lately, I haven't gotten laid in a while), yet somehow I was up a little bit.

Then the overflow of cash started coming my way. I got AA all-in on the flop against QQ. I hit the nut straight with KJ. I raised two opponents out of big pots. Etc etc etc. Next thing I know I'm up around $1200. Woohoo!

I decided to keep on pressing. I was having a good session and I was playing well. I stuck it out for 2 more hours. And I'm glad I did.

Geewhiz (from BTP) and I were playing on the same tables, and he ended up PMing me. He told me about how aggressive one opponent was. Thank God he did because a few hands later:

Dealt JJ in MP. I raise to $16. Aggressive opponent is the only caller.

FLOP $36
Q36 Rainbow

I check. Opponent bets $50. I call

TURN $136
another rag of nothing hits. still rainbow

I check. Opponent bets around $100. I call.

RIVER $350 (est)
another nothing card hits.

I check. Opponent bets around $175. I call, he shows 95 of diamonds for no draw, no hand. Fun stuff

I also had a big suckout on the same opponent and little before that. I won't go into it too much.. but basically I had the nut flush draw and two overs on the turn... pot was $600 and it was $133 for me to call. I paired on the river

I finished up for the 4 hour session $2227. 5 1/2 buyins. My best cash games day ever. Lovely.

Everyday I feel a little bit closer to my goal of being a dominant high stakes pro. Today, even more so.

I hope my good luck continues.

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAA

maybe "the best 2/4 NL online player in the world?"

Pish Posh. Kenny is lucky I don't play NL. I would probably have 20PTBB/100 for 100,000 hands no problem. Unfortunately I am too busy playing limit, so you guys will just have to take my word for it that I could achieve it.

Being a porn star isn't all it is crakced up to be.......Ha Ha...yeah right...I love being with 4 girls at once.

Okay twelver... I got Rosie Palmer... I got Palmela Handerson... You're gonna have to enlighten me on who the other 2 are...
