you played this quite badly.

derosnec · #**303** 01-08-2007, 10:37 PM

so, the first big downswing happened in november. really sick stuff (mostly me getting my stack in way ahead).

then december came and the beats continued some more (coupled with me rarely getting paid off on sets, etc)

so january arrives and i think that there is no way this can last another month. same sickness different month. yesterday, 5 buy-ins down the drain when i was at least seventy % fave. today, 4 buy ins (6 hands, not all against full stacks). AK all in pf no good against 2 people each holding AQ. AA no good all in against JT pf. KK v. AA. set of 8s all in on flop lose to two outer. all in wth T high flush on flop, QQ turns the fourth club.

how does anyone run at 10ptbb?

Hand from my session today. Last hand actually. I'm not sure if this was a Bad beat type of story, or a legitimate hand, so I posted it here.

Villain is 65/5.56/variable aggression. He was frequently a call station, but when he had a monster hand before he would min-bet and min-raise to death. In fact I don't know if he had another mode. I'd never really had the opportunity to play against him aggressively. I clearly miss-read his hand,

I put him on some weak ass Ace since he loved to play those. In fact any high face card was the nuts to this guy. I felt like my two pair was fairly good, obliviously not.

In retrospect I should have folded to the all-in. He slow-played me and I fell for it. Thoughts?

$10NL is kicking my ass this last week. -5 buy-ins in 7 days. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Oh well. Nice Hand guy; next.

Anyways I know what you mean with your somerset west comment, it's definately true, I stayed at a B&B owned by a german, he was the most friendly german I met in my entire life though (and I met a lot of germans [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), definately good times.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, there are a few nice Germans (I'm just going to be so bold and include myself), especially down there. After a while they seem to adapt the laidback life style from the capetownians.
It's just kinda weird to see them all flocking to Somerset - real Bratwurst colony. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What I was wondering though, I'm a surf addict, and was slightly disappointed not being able to find a surfboard because all shops were closed (Christmas). So I just went for a swim instead, but practically nobody was in the ocean, they all said it was full of sharks. It was kind of weird swimming there all alone constantly checking if I wasn't being chased by a great white. Is the shark population really that high, or are South Africans just scared easily? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't know where you've been swimming, but most beaches should be safe enough. I wouldn't go for extended swims in the eastern areas, though (Durban and 500km n/e, s/w) since those waters are really infested, not only with whiteys, but also the more dangerous bullsharks and tgersharks.
Not that it's likely that anything would happen, but the sharks per m^3 ratio is to high for my comfort. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, there are shark attacks on surfers (and sometimes swimmers) on a regular basis also around Cape Town (especially Hout Bay). So whenever something happens again, people won't go swimming until they've forgotten about ir (give or take 1 week).
In my last three years down there, there must've been like 10-12 incidents.

Having said that, I've been surfing a couple of times between Strand and Hermanus, and didn't feel scared at all. My buddy down there is surfing at least once a week in that area, and he only think he saw a shark fin once in his life. Could've been a dolphin, seal or whatnotelse. But he wasn't ging to paddle out there to find out.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm seriously considering moving closer to the sea as soon as I finished my school, leaning more towards the area between San Diego/Los Angeles now. Cape Town didn't really live up to the image I had of it, don't get me wrong though it was still a great city!

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I absolutely understand moving to the sea. I'm missing the warm climate most, and Dublin with it's flat calm water doesn't feel like sea at all. It's just cold and wet. Eeeuw.

I'd love to go and see SD & LA some time, but haven't taken the time to do so, yet. I've preferred to go to SA or south eastern asia instead.

My graph so far in 2007

I play NL25 for only 2 weeks now, it's been treating me quite good...

I used to think that when I played sober I made much more mistakes, and when I drank a bit of beer, I'd make less mistakes. So I just drank beer and in the beginning of my graph --> beerdrinking it goes up, sober, it goes down...

Was having a blast playing while drinking a few beers though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But past few days I focus more on getting the errors out, instead of drinking beer and run with it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
