Lol, I meant to post this graph here, but accidentally posted in Belgos ring analysis thread. Basically, I am loving HU lately and even at 100NL the fish/weak-tights are ridiculously abundant. Contemplating playing the rest of the month out at HU.

Merged from other thread... but it's a good graph, worth seeing twice

Honestly it looks like he's laundering money to me...

The "72" comment was beacuse he'd claimed he had 72o when winning a pot versus me about an hour ago.

He's gone now. But I will hold a place in my heart for him forever.

Aren't Sundays great? Of course my internet picks this date to die. Been dead for the last few hours, hopefully back up for good now.

 

[tenbob]

I rekon this is the first time ive gone on tilt since i came back to the tables in September.

Quitting, a little late, but quitting. 10K hands logged for the month profit = $.05c. 9 buyins from EV, should have took Zack up on his rigged offer when he offered it first.

Lol, I meant to post this graph here, but accidentally posted in Belgos ring analysis thread. Basically, I am loving HU lately and even at 100NL the fish/weak-tights are ridiculously abundant. Contemplating playing the rest of the month out at HU.

HU when running bad is just so so so so so so so so incredibly hard however. But I'd guess HU is the most profitable game IF you are excellent at controlling tilt, because it is just so easy to crack in HU (and easy money if villain cracks first).

Had a session today where i was down about $300 at one point i guess. Lost a stack to a 5 outer on the turn then ran a bluff against a guy and essentially got called down by A high (he had A2 w/ a pair of deuces), and i actually have to hand it to the guy coz it was a fantastic read and call for almost a stack. I was then called down on two streets with an overpair (JJ) by AQ high for him to hit his overcard on the river for 100bb pot (luckily river went c/c coz i guess he figured he'd get more money from my bluffs). On another table i also lost a stack when boat>flush at a similar time.

But i actually managed to hold it together perfectly instead of monkey tilting like the last time i tried HU and adjusted extremely well (to the one guy at least) and ended up winning my $200 back that he had from + another $150 or so by just being very patient and using my AWFUL image to my advantage. Anyways actually quite proud of myself lol even tho i didn't win a huge amount of money in the session or anything.

ffs, can only face a 26 hand session tongiht, thats right, 26. During that session i also had 2 pair 4 times a set once and pock queens.

It's a shame that 2 of the 2 pairs were flopped top and bottom vs flopped top 2, another with middle 2 pair on turn vs top and bottom and the 4th was top 2 in a 4 bet pot vs a set . My set also lost to a combo draw and my pock queens lost to a 2268J board in a 3 bet pot where vill obv has j,2

And you're pissed that you could only play 26 hands?

After that session, I think I would've been hoping for less time to play.

 

[eNTy]

Yey upswings ! Now only to maintain this badboy instead of going down under again.. I have started playing way more nittier. I think I stopped calling down light or thinking I have the best hand when I obv. have not. It seems to be working. I fear it may be mini-variance but we'll see..

 

[tenbob]

Today was a little better, I actually flopped a few sets. Folded in the right spots, and felt my confidence coming back a bit.

Might hit up another session later on.

 

[switch0723]

thought id play a nl session instead, managed 12 hands that time where i had aavkk in my favour we split the pot , and managed top 2 vs a set which luckily for me, villain decided to slowplay every street including a straight and flush filling river

BOOYAAAAA

Looks like a bad Doom3 ripoff ..

Obv. from sweat session we had. All 15 minutes of it.

You two sweated 1K hands in 15 minutes?

 

[eNTy]

You two sweated 1K hands in 15 minutes?

The hands in my graph are from the past two days of 5nl.
The 30 minutes of philthys 2nl sweat aren't even in there .

Still appreciate it phil, we must do it again sometime. Maybe 5nl next time as well.

 

[ChuckTs]

Looks like a good Doom3 ripoff ..

watch the review

IGN: Dead Space Review

and watch the interview things on gametrailers. Games are getting to the point where they hire movie directors and audio technicians. Getting siiick

Just noticed my graph for "Money won without Showdown" is in the negatives and pretty stagnant...is this normal or am I doing something wrong here?

You are fishing, aka seeing flops, making hands, and charging idiots to see your cards.

At 5$ NL, I see nothing wrong with this.

And jesus christ, I need to get out of lab and put some hands in.
