Cheers mate :beer:

cheers!

Yawn, should have played a few MTT's instead. Played very well though.

Had a home game last night til 3am, was a lot of fun. $5 each, like 7 people. Won the first, 3rd in second after we went turbo because I wanted everyone the **** out of my house.

Spent all week squandering my BR, must learn lessons.

Punnishing my self by grinding the dollar tourneys untill I get 100 dollars apart from a small buy in mtt or two.

Not going to just post the downswing because I've decided to refer to it as a 10k break-even stretch

Nothing particularly stupid in here, just didn't hit many draws and lost a lot of flips v shortstacks. I do think I could have saved about $300 in crying calls on rivers though.

Ideally I'll get back to 2BB/100 from the 1.5BB/100 it's currently at by the end of the month.

Wow sweet, I make some profits playing 6max the last couple days WTF????!!!! Perhaps its cuz i didnt play like a total moron. Btw, check out the 4-tabling 100NL 6max vid i posted in videos section.

Cheers Rex for the MTT advice. Managed to cash, didn't have one f'kin hand though for 2 hrs. When I tried to steal, I was getting r/r. Then My internet connection was playing up so as I was down to 10bb's and I was getting a little pissed off with the discon all the time.

Thx again guys for the advice.

God forbid i ever hit 1 of my 18 outs in a 350bb pot, i would have willingly accepted turn or river. Just make up for it with aces vs kings in 400bb pot tomorrow plz stars kthx

Rex's 2 minute-guide to rebuys.


Rebuy immediately.

During rebuy period stack with top-pair kicker bigger than jack .

Stack with any over pair

All in preflop if possible any pair > 99 and AK AQ

Add-on

After first hour

tighten up and play position and strength of hand. C-bet every pot you enter unless you hit hard. Shove big draws.

Pick of small stacks who are panicing.

Only bluff (ie gamble your stack rather than take a small stab at it) if you really, really know they don't have it.

It's also amazing how people will fold to 3rd of a pot bets because you raised preflop.

Near the end
If you get that far let me know

I know what stacking means in a ring game - is that what it means here?

Lalala +6 buy ins. Today was flop the nuts & get paid day. Nice when your image helps you rather than makes everyone play back at you.

His advice is golden as always. I've been inspired to try more tourneys(again from his big wins post) and been amazed how totally card dead I can be in them, usually just manage to scrape in a past the bubble cash.

Yeah I hate s/s imo. Plus that CC HH convertor tilts me so haaaaaard!

After losing three more buy-ins at 400nl, I've moved down to 200nl where I proceeded to lose another three-and-a-half buy-ins. It's just brutal anymore.
Favorite hand of today: flopped K high flush vs. flopped A high flush.

On a complete side note, any other non USAers not really feel like having money in pokerstars while the US economy is about to do its thing?

On another side note, i am getting really SICK AND TIRED of like min 4 betting people with 64o by mistake because pokerstars allows it so that you can click through %&%*&^*&^*&%*&%*&^*(&)( windows and hit the cascaded window behind you.

Dosnt really bother me, if anything gotta feel that the value of the doller will spike. Stars holds its funds in the Isle of Man if i remember correctly.

Idk, just seems if you consider poker money an investment it doesn't seem all that great to be "investing" in a currency that coudl do who knows what in the next little while.

Tilt .

And no Feitr it doesnt really bother me seeing how the $ is more swingy then my september results.

Boom !!!! (oh shit)
