woot, got my account unbanned. thank you ryan beal.
today kinda sucked, but still grinded out a little profit. crazy, 51 weeks ago I had a roll of $27K and was taking shots at 5-10nl and a bit of 10-20nl. now i my roll is 5 times that yet i still go apeshit anytime i try 5-10nl and drop a buyin. i am constantly checking my balance, at least every 5 mins i check, after every big win, big loss hand, it's kinda getting crazy.

No way your range is that narrow.

welcome back, JK! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Run better, twp! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yea, I saw the action. His raise is tiny and you'd call with a pretty wide range unless your play has changed drastically.

On the flop you'd try to bluff his AK.

I haven't played you for a very long time though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Considering his range is AA/KK exclusively, no I would not try to bluff his AK. Yes, I would try to bluff his KK, though. Apparently for naught. He did tank, though, so yay for that. And of course I lost the coinflip for what was probably my second biggest pot ever. Whee.

welcome to my life. you can look forward to running worse than you have ever run, dropping like 100 buyins at 1/2 and then spending many straight days doing nothing but grinding .5/1 to get it back. this is what makes a real man. hollaz.

[xorbie]

100nl games are though though... obv people have become aware of the aejones theorem. look at these super thin calldowns:

I will never play a hand below 2/4 for realz ever again. Sorry, man, to hear about your trauma, though. I'm actually still up on the month since I've made 25K at 5/10 in the first week of June. But it sure sucks to have basically dropped all of that at 10/20. Why oh why can I not win a single pot whenever I try to move up in stakes? I'm probably -50K lifetime at 10/20 now. Yay!!!!
