Won 3 of last 12 sessions. -36k. Poker's great. Fun 40 session tonight where I lost a mere 5k. Won 2 showdowns all night. Quit the game when it was 5 handed DD, Roman, me, decentish guy and random fish. If I lose every day that's fine but I'm not stupid enough to play a game like that. It's gone from "don't want to play 75 if it goes but will" to "absolutely will not consider playing under any circumstances". I don't even want to play 60 now when I get back to Commerce but I guess I will. Being busto isn't fun. I strongly suggest not losing for a billion hours. When am I going to be a genius again where everything I touch turns to gold and the dollars fall from the sky?

As for the Crazy Pineapple 8, yeah I have no idea really. People seem to showdown awful high hands in our game so 2 pair seems solid enough to value town them the whole way. If I'm keeping 65 there then the play should be to just call the flop I think because raising won't really clean anything up for me the way everyone plays the game.

*edit*
Got StatKing last week and it's already paying for itself by giving me a clear picture of just how awful I apparently am at poker. $-252 an hour is pretty damn good I think. It shows a true dedication to the new 5% WTSD/0% W$SD style that I am working on.



Here is a shot of all the hours from when I started playing 40 and higher leading up to the above picture to show that at one time I used to be able to walk out of a casino with money in my pocket. The hourly rate is pretty decent considering it contains a lot of lower than 40/80 as well as a pretty long breakeven stretch before this recent nuclear fallout:

No they're dumb, they'll call with 3+pair and any A I think. Obviously this is a bad play but in this case it hurts our equity.

The game is fantastic and as you can see by the above graphs I have been greatly rewarded for my great Crazy Pineapple 8 play by winning 1/5 times this game was in the mix.

I was trying to play a lot of hours before school started because I was frustrated with my poor results throughout the rest of the summer. As you can see the plan worked to perfection. I just forgot to win.

I suck at 40/80, down like 17k lifetime at it now (250 hours maybe). Started out by losing 3 racks before winning a pot that saw the turn. Then swung wildly while playing maniacally with Roman and co., wound up cold-decking Roman repeatedly and everyone else did too so he left pretty un-thrilled. Then played 3 handed with Troy and random fish who was really really bad and won most of my money back from Troy 3 handed and some HU while fish went to smoke. Still lost 1k but after being down over 3k in 45 minutes I'll take it.

Maybe I'll remember hands after sleepy but it was sort of a blur of retarded trash I kept 3 betting mixed in with some random big cards that always received too much action (shocking I know).

Howmany,

Are those exact W/L numbers? Why do they look like they've rounded to the nearest $100?
