40k hand d/swing f'kin sucks big time imfo! Seriously it's gone from like not hitting any hands and losing a shit load in nsd, to now hitting the f'kin nuts on the flop or turn getting the moniez in good, and them hitting their boats. Yeah I love this grind........ Not!

 

[Monoxide]

Today was goot. Still a few poor plays in there that cost me a stack or two.

A shameless plug not in my shameless plug thread for my mid-month update.

No gigantic money or nothing, but I won $3 in yesterdays Full Tilt CC tourney and played a couple of SnG's. Got it up a couple of dollars so then went to the micros, just to check it out. Turned my $3 into over $11 in about an hour and a half.

Had this guy at my ring game buying in for $10 then raising every hand. Then would raise every flop all in. Just waited for a hand and caught him. The idiot spent over $50 just in the 45 hands I was there!!!

I wanted to wait for more of his money, but he left. So I took off and banked it. Hopefully tomorrow does me just as good.

 

[Jagsti]

If anyone wants free money, look out for me at the 100nl tables tonight at 0000gmt. 20 buy in d/swongs suck, k bye!

Just go ahead and transfer the money to my account - it will save both of us some time.

Good session

Well I had a great session. Things are really looking up atm, I just hope they stay that way cause I'm still only 4k hands into playing 5nl.

This is one of the longest sessions I've played and def the most hands in one session. Graph explains my success. I think I played well, even though the big dip near the beginning was a stupid mistake, I think with something like KK or AK or something don't remember.. Below are also my general stats, let me know if anything is wrong that would be cool. It looks like W$SD is slowly climbing and approaching the 50% mark which is a plus.

Small sample but steal more. How few tables are you playing if ~500 hands is a long session?

6 of FR and 500 hands is a long session for me cause I tend to play between 1 and 1.5 hours at a time..

I am still not totally convinced about Att to steal.. I now have the folds bb to steal in my stat line and it's either 100, 0 or N/A almost 99% of the time giving me not a whole lot of info. The players I have like 150+ hands on all have 100 fold bb to steal. But it's still only 3/3 or 4/4. So out of 300 hands (on one guy) there were only 4 times when some1 tried to steal his bb.

So that's some kind of proof that it really doesn't happen on 5nl at all. I try to do it none the less and usually with KJ, suited connec type hands. So I guess that's all I can do really.. I'm not gonna be stealing with trash..

 

[WVHillbilly]

Stealing with trash works. Folded to you on the button with a couple of those 100% guys you're talking about in the blinds, you should be raising 72o. It's a money maker long term.

and what do I do when they're N/A ? which happens a lot more than 100% ..

 

[ChuckTs]

Don't wait until they give you a reason to steal. Steal until they give you a reason not to.

 

[WVHillbilly]

If they're N/A, you're not stealing enough.

Seriously though I wouldn't open 72os against an unknown but I would open with any sc, any pair, any ace, any king, and some queens (or about the top 50% of hands).

 

[switch0723]

I seriously respect everyones ability to play a ton of hands instead of playing bloons tower defence 3

Wooooo, nice bounceback day from yesterdays 5 BI downswing

 

[eNTy]

Heh so I had a +$14 session earlier, then completely blew it in my last session: -$16 . I started with adding a 7th table which I obviously wasn't ready for at all, cause I lost about 2.5BI's in 5 minutes.

I then played 6 tables for about an hour longer and ended up down a lot.
Every time I got close to making my deficit smaller I f****ed up, made bad plays, got sucked out on, etc. Needless to say I should've definitely logged off sooner instead of adding another BI+some to my original deficit.

Then of course this doesn't help either ..
