Hey guys, well when I started this session, things started of pretty slow, just hovering at break even point. Been doing this for about an hour and a half, couple of big pots, but then loose some to flips. So anyway, towards the end, I managed to get in a pot with a loose aggressive player, who had won a few pots previous to this hand, just by beeing aggrisive, non showdown wins. Anyway, I wake up with KK, there are a couple of limps in front of me, so I do my normal raise preflop, dont wonna raise it too much as I want some action here. So call call, flops a Q high board, I check, then MP bets, other guy folds, then I three bet this guy, he calls, then the run comes, get buts like a good chuck of the pot, cant remember exactly how much, but I raise all in, at least I thought I had, anyway he called my raise, and then river came, and I bet out my last $1.40, and the most bizzare thing happened, villan folds to a $1.4 bet into a ~$70 pot, I mean, hes getting 70:1 pot odds on anything he has, which, I mean, what ever he has, he should just call……

That hand was really bizzare I thought, below is a pic for you guys who would wonna see a pic.

I played on a couple of tables that had a nit on them, and I just bullied the hell outa them, I had like ~3-400 hands on them, so I just 3bet raise there bets preflop pretty much every time. Not many fish online tonight, I almost felt like I was the fish at times, because my stack was getting really low, at one point I got down to like $9, I should, but I dont rebuy to the max if my stack gets low, its part of my BR management thing that I have, only play a certain amount each session that I am pre-paired to loose.

Profit/Loss: +56.62

I know Im adding more posts per day then I said, but it feels a bit better venting here.

So the $11 SNG didnt work out, try to make a move, and well it didnt work out, after that loss my BR was down to ~$615, so I took a break, came back with a fresh mind set, sat at 2 NL25 tables, bought in for 100bb, for the first hour or so, nothing really happened, and then my game started to pick out, and at the end of the session I managed to get up a Buy-In, which is great.

Profit/Loss (Since last post): $37.05
Current Bankroll: $663.13

Well today hasnt been pretty at all, it started off great, I think I got my Bankroll up to $680 or so, but then it went down hill. Holdem Manager is giving me all sorts of trouble, starting to really irritate me now.

Got coolered twice to day, all in preflops, my QQ < KK, my QQ < 1010. And I also tilted off about $15.

Apart from my coolers, I think I played pretty well, I’m going to try some $11 SNGs I think, o well, I may post later on tonight, or Ill post tomorrow night.

Profit Loss (since last post): -$31.20
Current Bankroll: $626.08

Well, just small update guys, just bought Holdem Manager – Small Stakes, and also bought a Duecescracked account, so now my Bankroll is at $629.49.

Hand that I’m sure I played right, but always open for suggestions, the open raiser guy had been playing a little funky, mixing up his plays a bit, in the last half hour, he was open raising a lot of pots preflop, he was first to act and he somehow came up with the bright idea to bet pot, which I thought was a bit funny, because if that pot hit him hard, at least he would check it and wait for someone bet then check raise, or bet small, induce a raise, or just try and get some value out of his hand. So when he didn’t do any of the above two things, I figured he couldn’t have a hand every time, so I knew I was going to raise him, but that middle guy called his bet, I was a little worried now because I don’t know what he has, maybe the AK, or KQ. I wasn’t really sure, just a guess at best, I mean he coulda had the flush draw iswell, which was definitely running through my mind.

When I shoved, I was with the thinking that the first guy was going to fold, and if the second guy had AK, kudos to him, and if he had the same hand as me, then we just split the pot, and if he had the flush draw, he was going to pay with every penny to see the river.

Anyway, that is the reasoning behind my play, be cool if you guys commented on this hand.

Well I’m finishing up tonight, I can’t get my HUD to work for some reason, I think I’ll have a look when I wake up tomorrow. I have just been playing ABC poker atm, been playing for about 1-2hrs, not a lot, try and put in some volume tomorrow night. Players I have run into a either nits or TAG players, with the odd fish in-between, not too bad, maybe I’ll be able to make some more money when I get my HUD working.

Got coolerd earlier on this session, all-in pre, my QQ vs KK, didnt manage to suckout and didnt help my morale, ended up loosing money due to tilt, so that wasnt much fun at all.

Profit/Loss: +$27.79
Current BankRoll: $657.28

First Deposit – $700 on Absolute Poker

l0mion — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:24:02 +0000

Hey guys, well I just made my first deposit on Absolute Poker, I know I know about those super users who could see your whole cards, but, that was months ago, and im pretty sure they caught them in the end, and I highly doubt they would be playing NL25 .

Anyway, I signed up with RakeBack from RakeTheRake, which is cool, I have never played on a website with Rakeback before, im getting %30 Rakeback and I managed to get a %100 sign up bonus, which would be $500. All in all I have some good first deposit bonuses and Rakeback on top, and the deposit bonus “doesn’t” get deducted from my rake, so smiles all around.

Structure of my posts daily posts:

Amount of money I have won/lost
Current balance of my Poker account
Some thoughts I had on how I was playing, how my opponents were playing

Structure of my weekly posts:

Graphs of my weeks play
Stats
Video showing tricky hands I played, and explaining why I made particular moves

I think blogging my poker experiences is going to be a bunch of fun, hope you guys like it is well, and well see what I can do with $700.

Cheers for looking guys.
