Capaneo is the king of the turn and river suckouts. Nobody except mayb for GM hits a turn or river gutshot more often.

Played a big session today

Didnt want to inline it and h-scroll the thread.

I was preparing to call it as a loser when i was closing down tables and won a couple buy ins to make it profitable.

$16/hr - beats min wage work, but being sucked out on over and over cant suck much more.

You know its time to call it a day when you expect to lose with top set with a flush draw and straight draw being out there.

Biggest loss of the night was also the most representative of the session. Knew the turn was bad. I actually misclicked preflop (not trying to justify the call, i genuinely did), flopped huge and then got 2 outed. Standard.

Anyway, the key thing is i earnt 1901 VPPs so im solidly on target for Supernova by the end of Dec. My results will level out and over my lifetime im 2.04 ptBB/100 over 18k hands - i remember my housemate asking me what my target longterm is and i said 2 ptBB/100 is pretty good whilst 9 tabling and still learning - if i can stay at that over 100k hands i wont consider it a loss, and i hope im playing better than that. Time will tell.

Time for bed then let the pain happen again, lol.

Wed i have a day off so i need to grind about 5k hands tonight too. Looking forward to my second home game at the uni, last week was fun http://pokerdice.blogspot.com/2007/09/uni-game-1.html [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Man this forum is nitty judging from the average response in my threads. I must get played back at a [censored] ton.

[/ QUOTE ]
it's [censored] full ring - straightforward play is what it is. running big 3 bet bluffs and making overly-thought-out calls with marginal hands is not where the money is, especially at 100 and below. you are way too caught up in the connotations associated with lag and nit.

Im 6 buyins down at 6 max over 5k hands at $50, having said I would move up after 10k at 2PTBB or above. So yeah, Im a 6 max donk too

[KurtSF]

An unforgiving welcome back.

OK, here's the story. Around Christmas last year I make the switch from FR LHE to FR NL and immediately start beating 25NL. I crush that for 20k hands, then move up and crush 50NL for 60k hands, then I move up to 100NL and I'm comfortable and early results are good but its only 10k hands.

Then I lose my internet. Long story. I withdraw most of my roll and pwn at the local live 1-2NL games for the last 5 months. 2 days ago I finally get internet again, so I decide to get back into online, starting at 25NL to just rebuild instead of redepositing.

My first day back to online poker: lost 12 buyins!

Yeah, I guess you could say I'm rusty. Its no big deal money wise, less than 5% of my roll. I'm a little concerned about running out of online money since I don't know how to deposit anymore. But really, its mainly a hit to the ego. I leave thinking I'm good and in my first day back, just under 3k hands, I lose 12 buyins. *sigh*

So yeah, I'll probably be spewing off hundreds of dollars a night at 25NL on FTP for the next few weeks for anyone who wants to take my money. At least until my ego can get over it and I can adjust again.

Thanks for listening.

just sent 1.25 to kidpoker, well see how she goes when i get back from break =) I love Mind altering doctor pills =)

[mikeymer]

I just wanted to note to everyone that hasn't read the Renton well already --- do it. I was off of my game for a couple of weeks (Thanks WCOOP, thanks for nothing), and the discussion in his well helped me get back on track and is VITAL for being a winner at NL200+.
