Session Summary

Blogging will be a lot less, but theres good news.

I have been very busy with a lot of other stuff. I have decided to put less time into Poker. I will still be playing plenty of hands, just that it will be less playing and blogging.

Here is what I will be doing:

The first blog post was on February 16th, today for me is April 1st.
The first blog post did not include any statements of my bankroll. The first time I mention my bankroll it was at 124$. My lowest was at 111$ and that was on February 20th, just 4 days after I had started blogging. Since then it has gone up until my latest session which was March 29th and the bankroll was at 171$.

I read a lot of books. They do not teach you how to play. They teach you the ABC poker but they do not teach you how to think the right way.

If you are interested in letting me teach you how to become a better player in the microstakes, write me an offer just saying $/per hour. I would only do hour sessions. That way you can decide whenever you have had enough. I do have free time and will continue to be playing. Its just that the time in the blog is too much if there is nothing to gain. I can teach you how to think more like a poker player at microstakes level and you will end up improving your game. I will point out mistakes in you game. You can see your mistakes and improve them by yourself and become a better player. I found them in myself. I know that there is always room for improvement and that I am not the best but I am sure a lot of people can need some help.

We can set it up from there.

Losing to Bad Beats

I played a session yesterday over about 1500 hands. The bankroll moved up to 171$. Nice.
I was playing really well and only lost to two bad beats.

One of them was really sick. slickchef was the player I got a really nasty bad beat. He was in late position and made it 16c. I thought about that he had AK or so. I had QQ in the SB and decided to push all in knowing I was going to get called. He had a small stack. He called. He showed A6 or A7 suited! I couldnt believe it. He hit his few outer A on the flop.
I wanted to jump from my balcony in on the 7th floor and see what happens. Pretty stupid I idea but I am sure many people would want to see that. Congrats the idiot just did it! He survived. Now I want to push him into a wall and then he is going to tell everyone he tripped. Unbelievable?
I have no idea if the ptr thing is right. However it does represent an idiot of some kind. Maybe you figure it out. I lack the intelligence to waste my time.

Finally Back

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 2329 hands and saw flop:

- a total of 409 out of 2329 (17%)
Pots won at showdown - 55 of 109 (50%)
Pots won without showdown - 165

Guess what? I am back at 1c/2c and I am winning. Bankroll is at 165$. I should have lost less and win more. I played good but was done after a 101% donk call.

kitygll got pretty damn lucky against me. He is some idiot. The biggest idiot moves all put together and you have him. I wonder what he expects me to have when I shove my whole stack against his big stack.
He min raised to 4c preflop. I had AA and there is no such thing for me as playing them bad. I went all in. Everyone fold but the min raiser. Big pot, and I was far ahead against his AQ. AQ? minraise? call all in? Seems that is the best that he can play. He made a straight and won the pot. My table where I have my laptop on had to suffer. I slammed my fist on it. Hard. Its painful to lose, but what the hell. That is the best he can play. Continue playing like that. He rarely plays and its all losing according to his ptr.

tomzsc is another player like the one above. Putting it all in when hes light years behind. Maybe even centuries. I dont know. I dont want to know. His ptr profile is just as cool as his game, down almost 2,000$ since October 2008. It goes all down hill.
Everyone folded. I limped on the button with 33 and the blinds played. The flop is 2h3h6. We got it all in here. This hand happened shortly after the one above and I was on tilt. He had 36 for top two pair. I flopped a set and was light years ahead again. I would not have been surprised to see a straight by the river to split the pot or he would catch a 6 to make a better full house. No, I won this time.
