KD's cash thread, gonna run up thru the levels!

[KerouacsDog]

2 -table session of 9max, as I had a free entry in the new depositors freeroll. Think i prefer 9max ring over 6max, seems to be lots of action, which is good for rakeback! Didnt get any hands, as i was playing tight, but won a little bit.
As for the freeroll, 1600 entries, 130 get paid. Again, didnt get any hands of note, was shortstacked and shoved with AKo, guy called with JJ and hit a set. I came 170th, so close to cashing. Oh well, have 2 more entries over the next 2 weeks.
In other news, got my HEM hud working for this site, which is very cool!


Starting balance:$43.36
End balance:$43.72


PS Funny bit, my account at SJ is in dollars, the tables are in euros, and my rakeback is in pounds lol!

 

[RVladimiro]

Never noticed you had a cash thread. I'll be reading it. Have fun and may the aces be with you.

 

[KerouacsDog]

thanks RV, only just started it really.

 

[Logan2]

Thanks Logan. If FT ever comes back I'll grind the sngs again, as I liked them at that site but cant seem to find any other site with decent traffic for micro sngs

Why are not playing on Stars?.

Aside of the SNG´s wich pretty much is the only site that have decent volume the software is way better than any around. Even for cash is very good because the multitabling options and the betting tabs, and of course the numbers of tables running for cash is way better than any site. Also the new faster dealing mean more # of hands/hr..

 

[KerouacsDog]

I dunno, I just have this mental block with PS, Ive got money there, but never feel like playing there.

One word.............rakeback
It's so important for building a BR at super micros, people undervalue it, I include myself in that.

Rakeback at PS

Bronze - ~15%
Silver - ~20%
Gold - ~24%

Also non cash, etc etc

rakeback at euro sites/other sites can be up to 60% weekly cash, 100%+ with some deposit bonuses.

This will add a significant chunk to your roll and allow you to move up quicker, plus the euros are mostly betting sites so player pool is smaller but lol bad.

er, yeah, and this, which is so much more important.

Crap thing about working nights, you need to sleep more, much more. I just had 9 hours of straight sleep, and still feel f**ked. Really dont feel like grinding, plus Im back at work in 3 hours time. No poker tonight.

Totally Agree with you jurn8, pokerstars VIP for micros sucks, but what reliable Euro site offer a decent rakeback this days?.

Ongame/IPoker which are the decent Euro networks only offer VIP. The rest are very small/ghost sites, or open to USA players.

I will change fast if could find a good deal with a reliable site.

Id research that a bit more, easily get 55%+ on ipoker

Really? I cant find anywhere that offers rakeback on the Ipoker or Ongame networks. Im thinking of moving to one of the Euro networks but these two only have a VIP rewards programs that are no better then Stars. PM me if you know how.

This.



Back to Kero thread.

Night hours are really Shitt y , you feel so tired all the time. Hope you can grind soon.

 

[Logan2]

I find this.

“As a result of the many ipoker rakeback cases found in recent months, iPoker now has a ‘zero tolerance’ towards rakeback and rooms violating the network policy may face significant fines as well as termination from the iPoker Network.”

Sorry for derail.

 

[Jurn8]

thats the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen haha!!

 

[KerouacsDog]

yep, I sit there looking at the laptop thinking, I really cant be bothered to grind. Anyway, couple of nights of sunday, so will play some then. Might even get some hands in today.

 

[KerouacsDog]

ugh, 400 hand of 9max session, and it went bad. My AK/AQs were just not hitting flops, twice I flopped sets after raising preflop with JJ and KK, on draw-heavy boards, so I bet hard to discourage chasers, and of course they hit both times, board never pairs for me like that.
First losing session, and it's so demoralising, feel like a failure at poker, such a downer. I know its variance, and all that, but it still hits ya.

[taaron]

^^^ I totally relate, I know how that feels, sorry u had a bad 1;
but we all know you'll get back up and crush it next time around!

 

[Logan2]

Sorry for the bad day man, but one losing session should not bring you down, i wish could say only have one losing session. Only have 6 sessions so far and lose the first two, then win one, then lose one, and win the last two. You get down for one lose and i was proud to win at least 2 in a row

Look it this way, you only go 2 buyins down, for Mtts/sngs that was nothing, pretty much that is why start to like so much cash, the losses are very short, i mean a bad day in S&G´s was 10-20 buyins down, so 2-3 buyins should not be nothing for us

Tomorrow will be a better day man.

 

[KerouacsDog]

yeah thanks Logan, for the optimism. I know what you're saying, its just in my mind I didnt do anything wrong, so you think, 'am I realy as good as I think I am?'. Im so used to bad runs in sngs/mtts you take them and move on, but cash is so different, in terms of success and failure.
Will grind soon, need some breakfast/nicotine/coffee first.

hour session, 3 tables of 9max 2nl. made a few cents lol. tricky hand, please read and advise: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cas...lhe-full-ring-flopped-set-201271/#post1788459

[KerouacsDog]

320 hands, 2 of 6max, 2 of 9max, and nothing. Best hand was QQ once, flop was AKx so that went nowhere. Was actually break even till the last hand, I flopped the nut flush draw and OESD, bet it hard, board produced a straight, and of course villain had a higher straight. Its so getting me down, I believe Im playing good poker, but Im just not getting the hands. there was actually a guy with stats 90/6 lol, and I couldnt get one hand against him ffs.
Thank f**k for rakeback..............................

Some days are just like that unfortunately, don't let it get u down, a heater will come soon

 

[KerouacsDog]

I hope so MM. breakeven poker is just not for me.

 

[KerouacsDog]

500 hand session of 9max 2nl. Was up a couple of bucks, then got 4bet shoved for 100bb when I held KK. No stats on player, so I called. He had AJos and of course hit an Ace on flop. Back to even, sat tight, and built up again. Lots of fishy play, started marking the fish and sharks so maybe meet them again in the future(not the sharks!)

Worry not... suckouts are what keeps them in. I had KK beat by AJo yesterday. Flop AJJ... awesome.
