Sept Pokah Chat...(post your LC stuff here)

Some Korean guy, who plays 100nl FR and has just started 100nl 6max. He was obviously a nit, but I thought he was very spewy at times. Not that it matters, as he's now better off to the tune of approx $120k

Indeed. Looking at your, Chuck's and my graph, I find it interesting how we tend to stop playing once we've become unstuck (for fear of getting stuck again?)
In my case, it feels like a victory to break even after being stuck. So I stop playing once I'm victorious. The next day, I fight an entirely new battle which is stupid because it's all part of a bigger graph anyway. Can't help it though

Yeah I know exactily what you're saying here. I was like, 'I know I can get those buy ins back', then once I was back to $0 I was like 'time to call it a day'.

Stacks:
Hero with $55.70
SB with $30.40

Turn: 2♥ Hero bets [$43.20] [ all-in ] SB calls [$17.90] [ all-in ] Uncalled bet ($25.30) returned to Hero
Potsize: $76.1
River: K♥
Results:
Hero shows two pair, Aces and Threes: A♦ A♥
SB shows three of a kind, Threes: 8♣ 3♥ SB collected $60.30 from pot

Worst part of this was the fact the guy was a complete fish (as made obvious) yet it took me ~500 hands to beat him and once i finally managed to get him, i had made about $1.50 profit

I've seen him playing a few times on the tables though, so i'm hoping he plays quite a bit so i can play him more often


P.S. I need a new hand converter, leggo poker is just refusing to convert any of my hands for some reason, ever since i updated my firefox it hasn't worked

Somebody hasn't been in this thread keeping us posted on his month so far... but I am going to give you a brief update for him:

I did, amazing result!

can someone link me to a good hand converter, since cc's is too ugly to use tbh, and i hate positng raw hh's, but they will have to do for now.

This is the reason why 50nl is so beatable

YAY workage ftw (see how it almost worked anyway)

Today has been such an awsome day so far, shame im starving so i have to take a break to eat. This is now my personal record for most money sitting at a single table . Isn't it strange how your willing to just play tons of hands when your running good.

Havent played at all today, wont play tommorrow or possibly the next day. A couple days away from poker is exactly what the doctored ordered I think. Been cramming too many hands and becoming too obsessed with wins/loses adn the size of my BR. Really need to take a step back and re-evaluate. Who knows, maybe ill sign up to stox and do some learning.

The thing is if my hands were actually holding up id be doing nicely today.

-4 Buyins today. Two go to this guy, he was playing every hand

Not on a 1920x1200 Samsung 24". I can do 16 quite easily. No HUD for now, though.

Wow, u really playing 16 tables without a HUD?

Yeah, it's quite easy. Besides, I know all the regs by heart.

September swings for everyone

Pretty shitty day tbh, got in a lot of hands (for me) though. Highlights include limping 63o UTG, and hitting trips on the river. (twas a misclick). Played a few mtts as well, and had insane bad luck in them all. Still though a profit is a profit.

Jagsti said:

OMFG......... Skat Tilt has just made Supernova Elite... WTF!

Click to expand...

yea i must have completely underestimated him. Always saw him as one of the fishier 6 max regulars (and just a complete nit at FR, which is always easy to play against), but sne is pretty insane, not to mention that i see he is playing in the wcoop main event for $5k and in the 2nd chance thing for $1k buy in so i guess has quite the bankroll. I also didn't realise that he plays 200nl as well as 100/50nl.

Still would be suprised if he actually wins at cash games tho, but when you have a trillion dollars in bonuses at sne i guess it doesn't really matter. Then again, just looked at his sharkscope graph and holy shit...

Yup he's sitting at 200nl a lot of the time. 12/7 and nothing spectacular. Something must be working for him though

I tried playing a little FR a couple of days ago, and decided to go down to 50nl because i'm super rusty at FR and i saw him 24 tabling 50nl :S :S :S

HOW COULD YOU MULTITABLE 50NL AND THEN BUY IN TO A MTT FOR $5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then again, from the look of his opr stuff if he doesn't cash in either of these tournaments he could be something like $25k down in MTTs (and i supect alot of his sharkscope profit is from sats). I can't even fathom how many hands at nl50/100 you'd need to make sne.

Irexes do you have him as a loser over the hand sample you have? Maybe he still spams 50/100nl instead of only 200nl because he would lose less on them while still getting fpps at a decent clip.

Yeah Skat is not bad, but certainly nothing special. Just remember sne doesn't imply he's good, just that he plays a ton. As long as he can even marginally lose (if you lose 20k over the course of the year, but make sne, that's like 100k profit, so even if he lost say 50k over the year he's still making a good profit), sne is worth a ton.

On that note, I should be sn by the end of the week .

Yea i didnt' mean i underestimate him in terms of skill, more in terms of how much money he must make from poker/time he puts into it.

I just wish i played enough in a month to get plat . I could do it this month if i tried but i just find it stressful playing that often.

Anyone who can get sne playing nl 6max deserves a f'kin medal imo. The swings must play havoc with your mind.

I feel like I've been put through the ringer on a daily basis atm.

5400's back, 50k to blow, cashed in first. 8 more to play.

booya. **** you to stupid girls and their mind games, hello and I love you to poker.

can someone explain the ev line in HEM to me btw?

Click to expand...

It means luck gave you about an extra 1k.

Basically it means if you ran exactly at ev, you'd be at where the faded line is in terms of winnings.

I thought at first that it would be all in EV that you could compare to your actual winnings in all in pots, like in pokerEV, but hem doesn't show any all in winnings, only showdown/nsd/total, none of which we can compare practically at all.

So how the hell can they possibly calculate my overall EV?
