moved back to 2nl to recover some losses and had the unluckiest session. 2 times on flop i had middle set vs top set, once preflop allin KK vs AA, once QQ vs KK and flush when board paired on the river.i won only 3 all-ins while lost much more

i had a note on him saying "calling station" but still he freaked me out

bad play, good play

here's some bad play this morning:

i was like "omg i'm 50 bucks down" and i guess i was on tilt. but that's only 5BI and 5BI downswing isn't uncommon for me. 5BI at 2nl is like a pint of beer+tips while 5BI at 10nl is..something more(5 pints..j/k). have to get used to the new swings. oh and i found a terrible leak: i protect blinds way too much, 3bet, reraise etc. 2/3 of my losses were unnecessary blind protection with junk hands(probably new form of tilt). in 2nl games these situations are very very incommon so maybe that was the reason.

anyway, in the evening i played my first-class TAG poker(only 2 tables this time).

probably this is the most boring graph in my blog but profit is profit.
on a sidenote, i have ~330 FPPs(i'm too calculate and to post my $$ and FPPs in every post) so if i keep on playing 10nl i'll get my 50$ bonus pretty soon

my first live game

i met my ex-classmate who came back from Texas (he works for an oil company) where he started playing Texas Hold'em :) he's never played online("cyber poker") but he's not an idiout obviously. so we set up a home game. he also invited another guy of the same level and "online pro" who "turned 2000 euro into 12000 euro in 2 months".

it was quite fun. i insisted on cash game :) even though i was the first to bust out, eventualy i won the most(3.7bi=1 initial stack+1 rebuy +1.7 stack of net income). i played too tight in the beginning and most of pots were multiway with many raises and reraises so i folded alot of best hands like TPTK, then i adjusted my play and started winning. and in the beginning i really struggled with pot sizes and stack sizes. it's so confusing when you don't know stack sizes and pot size exactly. i was always counting chips and i believe my game suffered from it alot. but when i had to act it was quite fun to count my chips, glance at my opponents, count again, ask "how much have you got" etc :)
oh and i wasn't able to read anyone, like "his bodylanguage shows weakness" etc. not that i cared much about tells..

oh and it wasn't my first live poker actually..i played 5-card draw poker with my dad when i was like 6yrs old. but does that count? :)

consistency

weird graph, but it's consistent with my hrly rate and BB/100hands(i played a little less than an hour). it seems that in the beginning of every session i risk much more. few badbeats for sure, but also some not-so-good hands(nothing excessively stupid). if only i could play my A-poker always..
