uNL gods need help

erbbysam · #1 09-29-2007, 06:07 PM

So this month started off as one as the best one ever...
I made a post here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...41#Post12137341
with my graph of the month so far:

And since then, the worst downswing of my life has happened:

I'm calling on the uNL gods to reveres this curse that is the Full Tilt doomswitch.
obligatory BBV:
Brag:1st month in college
Brag: moved up to 50NL this month
Beat: was forced back down to 25NL
Beat: down $62
Varience: expecting $70 in rakeback?
What it do?

Just from today:
against a 55/37/8:

Hand 1: Bigger raise on flop. Otherwise, standard.
Hand 2: I fold this preflop. And I like to play hands preflop, but this is just trash. KT UTG is a good way to get in trouble. I don't really like firing again on this turn, but there's some merit to it I guess. Anyways, after he raises, I dump this. I would probably fold AT in this spot. Baluga FTW. River standard.

What's the point of this post anyway? You aren't looking for advice, and this is a strategy forum, not BBV. This kinda stuff can be posted in the Official uNL BBV thread, as well as the Microbrew (maybe). In before lock.

Hand 1 raise more on the flop, make it 8, get it in on non club turn...you got sucked out on..big deal.

Hand 2 Fold the turn if you say he's a decent player, you ahead of exactly QJ J10 which no decent player plays this way. If the same hand is played against a donk get it in on the turn, theres not many safe cards that can fall on the river and if he picked up an extra draw on the turn make him pay with his stack for it

1. Copy all of Pokey's essays into a Word document.
2. Go to Kinko's and get a copy professionally bound.
3. Profit!!!

y did i just get a hard on after seeing that ... awesome man

Ratamahatta · #6 09-29-2007, 07:26 PM

haha, I wanna do the same with CTS' old blog.

Edit: OP, you play bad. Play/post/study more. Your "downswing" is probably when you run normal.

BrunoThePug · #7 09-29-2007, 07:32 PM

The pokey book is awesome.

guitarizt · #8 09-29-2007, 07:38 PM

The Mayo wtf is that yours? Why isn't pokey making these and selling them? Or you could do it and give him a cut.

DaycareInferno · #9 09-29-2007, 07:39 PM

spend less time broadcast pouting luck graphs.

The book is mine. I made it myself. (One of the advantages of working for The UPS Store - employee discounts ftw!) I wouldn't make and sell them without Pokey's permission. But if he didn't mind, I'd be happy to make more and give Pokey all the profits. It'd be the least I could do to thank him for his brilliant posting.
