Not a great start to the day. Crushed the game at FTP but pretty much hammered at the other sites I had running or broke even.

The rockets runneth over for me, 8 times in 30 minutes. Lost two of them though. Started the session off getting trounced by such things as me having AK versus AA on a board of AxxKx, and other nice second best loads of joy but the aces propelled me to a nice session win in the end.

Hey bro,

My screen names at stars are John_Galt and Lucia_Cortez. I am currently playing under the latter as I have a couple of bonuses to knock out under that account. A recent hand from stars for you in that game. This is exactly the reason noone post 2.5+ BB/100 for any extended period of time as you just can't avoid going through shit like this and it helps to keep your rate down over time.

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
2 folds, MP1 raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, SB calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls.

Flop: (10 SB) , , (3 players)

Turn: (6.50 BB) (3 players)
SB checks, MP1 bets, Hero raises, SB calls, MP1 calls.

River: (12.50 BB) (3 players)
SB bets, MP1 folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14.50 BB

Results in white below:
SB has Qh Kh (flush, ace high).
Hero has Ad Ac (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: SB wins 14.50 BB.

All that said I just had probably the single greatest 30 minutes of hands in my career, not that I won a shitload as a couple of them went down in flames but I got rockets 8 times in the span of 30 minutes, losing two of them. I got them 4 times in one lap at a single table and won them all. The first 30 minutes of the session was a nightmare but that last 30 propelled me to a nice little session win.

As far as my Stars numbers they are in line pretty much with my numbers long term over other sites. Since I restarted my dbase in September I don't have alot of stars hands as I haven't played there much except the last few days but here are my limited numbers. You can see I am really lighting it up there. Glad to hear you are faring alot better than me but just be forewarned negative adjustments WILL happen if you play enough as I am sure you know and read about from the other limit junkies here that normally beat the game regularly.

I dont understand why..or how..you can play everything from .25/.50 limit to 10/20 limit 6 max.

Always nice to start the day getting your ass whipped in a couple of hands right off the bat. Managed a nice turn around though in a short session to start the day off on a winning note depsite the early set backs.

Well all I can say is phuck. A little lack of disclipline cost me nearly 400 but I managed to get my head on straight and got back to grinding it out at an appropriate level and made a small comeback.

Played a short evening session of 5-10 at PokerStars and the play is just atrocious although I didn't win much courtesy of a couple of shitty things such as getting it capped off versus AK with my JJ. Flop AJ10, several bets, turn K , couple of bets, River Q and I have to even call a river bet from the donkey. First of two PStars bonuses is close to finishing as I need another 100 raked hands or so. May try to finish up with the PokerRoom bonus tomorrow of around 230.00 as the site just keeps phucking up with the screen going black on me. Also within shooting distance of getting the Martins 200 euro reload knocked out. I am liking that site although it is not PT compatible. They also have some PL 5 card draw games that I may play a little at as well. Don't know if I have another session in me tonight or not. Losing just seems to take the playing energy away from me.

Sorry Piers to jump into your journal, Kuso, there are not so many SH _limit_ tables at B2B.

The game is mostly NL there, and that you can find 8- or 6-handed in abundance. Right now there is 2 Sh Limit tables at 1-2 and 14 NL tables at 1-2

/gnu

Sorry about the misinformation Kus, I was thinking NL which are abundant.

The short handed limit games are available just not in great supply. As of now, 8 EST, there are 2 24, 3 12 and quite a few 0.5-1 euro 6 handed games going.

Pretty amazing, put in an hour of 7 tabling this first session and I can't think of one suckout against me Going to be interesting how this Multipoker, Coral/Eurobet stuff shakes out. I was planning on playing more at Euro right away as I get rakeback there but i think I will hold off until things get settled with their move. From a newsletter Multi is apparently being bought out by Party. Now if they would only buy Empire out

Well hell I may just be a lazy phuck today and take the rest of the evening off. It is a beautiful day here in Caracas weatherwise, case of cervezas on ice and the grill waiting for the goat that has been marinating all night. All I need now is some good smoke and the package will be completed

Well I felt the powerful winning force was surrounding me after a few cervezas so I thought I would take a quick dip into a short handed 15-30 table to make a quick score and that's the way it went down courtesy of a runner nut flush
