25NL

Fuck it..... im going to take an early shot at this im terms of BR management but i know i can beat 10NL and 25NL for that matter. Will try and get a update this week at some point

Fingers crossed

halfway update

so we are halfway through the month so i thought i would post my hands to date.
finally a silverstar at stars. lol what a joke. need to get to 25nl asap. I have really messed this month up and i have thrown away ev on silly calls and played very poorly.

remander of this month i will be correctly this after i started the month so well

STARS

all last month's hands ive been playing over at party. Running well and playing well.

So i ship a little to Stars as the party tables are really shit in the mornings UK time. and i find myself not playing as they are overloaded with tags. Stars have juicy tables 24/7 for me so it made since to ship a few buy ins over there as my hand numbers were low because of this time difference and times were i couldnt find a good table.

Now Steve will know ive never run well over at stars (maybe doomswitch as i was caught datamining there ages ago) none the less i sat down and tried again.



yup you guessed it riverstars was back to its old tricks. based on AI on flops i should have been 3BI up.. got a little disheartened and also throught the blog curse was pulling my pants down aswell. went through HM and really studied the hands. no real major mistakes and certainly not to the point of -5BI,

Took a break and watched tubasteves road to robusto series. only watched EP1, returned an hour later and this happened.....



glad to be back in the green but stars really does treat me like its whore. Rant over..... im gonna watch EP2 now and crush again in a an hour or 2...

like stars new FPP system BTW, steve how did you once work out what the rake EQ was??? let me know please.

GL@THE TABLES PPL.

Day Early. But Novemeber results

Come back and started to play the last 11 days of the months. Got in a decent amount of hands. Want double next month But December will be a tricky month for me seeing as we have Christmas and New Year

Actually surprised that Steve and Jake still even have a link to this blog. BIG UP MY FANS :) lol.

heres so screen shots. obv have alot of leaks but not too bad seeing as ive just come back. need to get some discussion and sweats going again

Hello

Hello

Im getting good at updating this blog :)

Well i blogged when i was winning, then got a nice downswing (3bet) so im now 4bet shoving to keep it this way ;)

As many of you know ive only started putting in some decent hands this month, it started well then i had a 7BI downswing. I looked into my game after speaking with a player ive started to talk to alot and i needed to tighten up dramatically. 23/20/4 just wasnt cutting it at 10NL, i was doing stuff that they just clearly didnt understand im now playing around 17/13 actually scrap that..... IM PLAYING BETTER... Fuck preflop numbers.. what are they exactly anyway???? They dont win you shit in this game. Ive adjusted to my opponents and am now reeping the rewards. Im just going for max value and stopped leveliing myself, 10nl players dont understand level 3 thinking when they dont even know a level 1 exists.i can save these plays for when i go up another 2 levels and get to 50NL

I’ll show you my graph for the month up until the 12^th (when i tightened up)

This is my graph from 12th june until current date (16th june as i havent played yet today)

i think you can see the improvment already, not just the fact its going up, but its alot more steady

Overall for the month of June all play included

Finally my stats for the whole month so far

some of the beats im getting suck bigtime, but then again thats expected at 10NL :) keep em coming poker gods :)

Im really happy ive managed to get into the green again after that downswing, I'm now going to concentrate on making this a mega month for me at 10NL and hope to get to 25nl within 2 months (august) the aim is to win 30bi for 25nl.. not let my BR hit that limit, BUT win it all... then move up with no RB or bonuses included. i will then know im ready :)

GL at the tables guys

blog curse hits again

last 2 days since blogging has been terrible. loads of bad beats, but im not going to rant about it.

some hands though

SHIP IT!!!!! NOW LETS SEE IF WE CAN DO THE REVERSE BLOG CURSE?!?!

brief update

i hate saying this, because as soon as i say it i'll hit a massive downswing..... so i'll re word it this time around. things are going well at the moment and nice and steady. baby steps right?! my games coming together again. slowly but surely...

i joined deuces cracked today for playing well for the last couple of weeks and ive downloading 117 video's... so thats gonna keep me on my toes but im looking forward to watching them all... better go and find my notepad and pen.......

sorry for the lack of updates i will try to do at least 1 a week from now on....

hope things are going well at the tables for you few ppl that read this. also hit me up if you'd be up for a sweat sometime or even a video review. want to try and keep in contact with all my old group from back in the day:)

Laptop tilt and birthday month

please let it be a good one

Whats happening guys

Sorry about the huge delay in blog entries. I purchased a new laptop from Dell just before i started playing poker again. Its nothing special to be perfectly honest but its a huge improvement on my old one. Its exactly 4x powerful and higher spec then my old one but certainly aint a monster of a machine if you know what i mean. Anyway i started playing poker and slowly getting back into things then about a week into my return things started to go wrong,

1. Sound would stop after the machine was on for a while

2. It would randomly make a “poppin” noise directly below the keypad?????

3. On start up always perform disk checks for consistancy

4. Always pick up windows updates, install them, restart itself then #3 would happen and then on reboot the same updates would be there

I eventually done a reformat on the machine and to cut a long story short the exact same thing happened again. Eventually got it sent back to dell and a new one sent out to me, it took over 3 weeks from the sending date to get the machine back onto my lap. I managed to blag an extra £100 off the machine aswell as a harddrive upgrade so not all is too bad i guess.

Obviously my hands for the month took a huge loss but to be honest i used it to my advantage. Having been away from poker for almost a year i had lost alot of my edge and ev shall we say, i remembered some of the basics but the quickness and sharpness went away. I was playing utter shit and getting owned by the begginners at 10NL. At least im man enough to admit it lol.

I went on a huge 9buy in downswing. Actually i cant even call it a downswing. It was just spew. So whilst my computer was getting sorted i dug out my old desktop. Pentium 1 flex... yeah baby!!!!!! I went onto fulltilt and purchased a 24hour pass on CR. I managed to watch a few video’s but not many. But then i got offered a 7day trial after and i gladly accepted. I watched all the 2 series by verneer on low stakes, and a new instructor who i had never seen or heard of before. Citizenwind. I like his videos alot and i seem to concentrate and take alot of “it in” so to speak.

Now after watching 3 series of videos i feel alot more comfortable again at the tables and my results on the last 2 days have shown this.. could just be variance and a small upswing but i feel my play is alot more better and i thinking alot more rather then just ABC.... im hoping may will be an excellent month for me and that i can really kick on now after that false start. On the 12^th its my birthday ill be 25. God i feel old :(. Im going away to Malia in Greece to “have it up” 7^th-14^th so im looking forward to that and getting lashed and having a great time.

Anyway heres 2 graphs.... before the videos with laptop 001. And after the videos with the return laptop 002 :)

Notice a difference? Small sample i know but im getting back into the swing of things :) them videos have really helped... ive really got to sign up to DC or CR... just things are abit tight at the moment. but fingers crossed it will be this month sometime....hope everything is going well for all you readers at the tables. im surprised some of you still actually have this linked up still.
