suddenly it's spring
came home late (saturday night fever etc etc), watched phil ivey's run from $72k to $220k in under hald an hour on fulltilt and decided to play a bit. woo-hoo $23.68/hr. i know, i know "[ ] sample size" but only $33 to end my "$100 challenge". i think the next step will be "$100@5nl" to get used to slightly higher blinds

robusto
another $10/hr day
lol@the beginning (standard). ~1.5 hrs=~$15 ($10.5/hr to be exact) and it might be sustainable. i don't know about 5nl, but it looks like more than i can possibly earn at 10nl games with A-class poker and no tilt.
i can't say i was running hot today but i made some great laydowns. yet there were some badbeats:
CO: $3.23
BTN: $4.97
SB: $0.98
Hero (BB): $2.00
UTG: $2.98
UTG+1: $1.07
MP1: $2.92
MP2: $6.88
Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with 3 3
3 folds, MP2 raises to $0.08, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.08, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.06
Flop: ($0.25) A 7 3 (3 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $0.14, BTN calls $0.14, Hero raises to $0.50, MP2 folds, BTN calls $0.36
Turn: ($1.39) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $1, BTN raises to $2, Hero calls $0.42 all in
River: ($4.23) A (2 players - 1 is all in)
Final Pot: $4.23
BTN shows J A (a full house, Aces full of Sevens)
Hero shows 3 3 (a full house, Threes full of Aces)
BTN wins $4.03
(Rake: $0.20)
BB: $2.34
UTG: $1.43
UTG+1: $1.71
MP1: $1.00
MP2: $3.00
Hero (CO): $2.22
BTN: $0.45
SB: $3.05
MP2 posts a big blind ($0.02)
Pre Flop: ($0.05) Hero is CO with Q A
UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP2 checks, Hero raises to $0.10, 1 fold, SB calls $0.09, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.08, 1 fold
Flop: ($0.34) Q 5 3 (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.35, SB calls $0.35, UTG calls $0.35
Turn: ($1.39) T (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $0.98 all in, Hero raises to $1.77 all in, SB folds

Final Pot: $3.35
UTG shows 9 K (a flush, King high)
Hero mucks Q A
UTG wins $3.20
(Rake: $0.15)

another blitz
i've had problems with my ISP today so the session was only about 15 minutes. but! graph:
i know poker gods owe me $22(i was $22 below EV) but still my recent sessions look ridiculous:
stats:
looks standard for me : 25/20 vpip/pfr. my 3bet is usually ~12% AFq~2.6, WTSD~31
but $17.98/hr playing 2nl was awesome. i want to replicate my success :)

sudden heater
not too bad for 20min session :) after watching a few videos i've decided to change my basic strategy a little bit. i isolate bad players with much wider range now and play draws and even gutshots more aggressively. also my reads were pretty accurate today but it's more of a luck than skill since quite often opponents do crazy things.
~$74 more to finish $100 challenge
live poker tonight so i'm not going to play online today to save time

money has no smell
thats what happens when i play tighter in the beginning. gonna replicate it 9 more times and and my "$100 challenge" is over. but i still have that feeling that grinding 16 2nl tables is stupid...well, money has no smell
btw i found out i'm $21.6 below EV in 2nl allin headsup situation. that's almost 11BIs :)
Thursday, February 19, 2009
i realized:
1.i take chances in the beginning(thats why i kinda suck@10nl)
2.huge downswings in the beginning suck
3.my good sessions are shorter(~30 mins in total today) than my bad sessions, but i have to get up early tomorrow.
i should work on my..err..robustness. goal: make $100 playing 2nl, no matter how long will it take

sick day
first i played 10nl:
for the purpose of bankroll management i had to move down to 2nl again. even $200 isn't enough for me to play 10nl :( talking about variance, here's how my 2nl session looked like:
it felt like i was cursed in the beginning. almost -6BI.i wasn't on tilt and i didn't play poorly. well, i've learned many new concepts recently so what seems to me to be a "good play" might differ from what i used to think was a "good play" one month ago so maybe there is some sort of difference. and now my red line goes down, blue line goes up..almost like a pro :) but i still don't know why. and it was 15-18 tables so i didnt realise i played that many hands :)
