[darthdimsky]

Belated Happy New Year Alucard. May everyone reading this thread have an amazing 2018!

 

[Alucard]

Had a decent cash today playing a 5.50 pko at party. Ran good but ended up bluffing into pure nut straight. The guy was playing super crazy & flopped good.
Maybe should've 3bet & shoved turn

[duggs]

why are you shoving there?

 

[Alucard]

why are you shoving there?

Shortstacks bounty on he line. Plus the SB was pretty loose. Couldn't take him seriously.

 

[braveslice]

I don't know if that is standard or not, but surely not far from standard.

 

[Alucard]

This month has been pretty bad in the cash area. Right now around $60-70 down. Today has been the biggest losses.
Need to calm my senses & move at a steady phase

 

[Alucard]

I have been off the tables for 2 days now. Before that played at 888 a couple of sessions. The tables are super fishy as usual. Easy money.
But on the other hand my partypoke 5NL FF hasn't been going well. I don't know what was the problem tbh. I've been taking hit after hit there. Roll went down $100 during the winter stake time.
Too much of everything isn't working well I guess. Need more balance.

I'm thinking of running another stake for the partypoker powerfest. The games looks interesting to party's standards. A very similar one as I did for the winter one. But with a lot more 6 max games hopefully.
But this time with more preparation, dedication & stability.

But before that I need a couple of good 5NL sessions at party. So will get back to the tables today.

 

[Alucard]

Here's the schedule right now. The prize pools are much lower than stars tourneys of course and some are less attractive.
like there are 20K GTD 6max for $5.50 as well as the only 6max normal speed $22 tourney which is also a 20K GTD. I've added that as well but will consider changing it to a 8max or full ring considering the attraction & player pool to the series.

[Alucard]

Same as before. I'll have 60% while 40% is up for grabs.
However I need to get my cash game back on track & get comfortable & confident.
Gonna follow a meditation schedule today onward as well as a grinding schedule.
And also investing time into reading some books.

Let me know if anyone's interested in backing so I can book the amount before I put up the stake thread. But please don't send straight away cause the stake isn't 100% confirmed yet.

Cheers!!

 

[Figaroo2]

I suppose I better get in quick! I'll take 20% and leave a little more for some others.
Want to have a sweat today? Perhaps we can pick up on the cash game.

Booked & Thanks Fig! :beer:
Yeah sure. But a bit later? 2 or 3 hours from now?

Yeah thats fine, I'm 'resting' today, not busy, I do want to watch the PCA live stream later though. I'd not heard of the chip leader guy before PETERS but he is a great player. The others are so scared of him postflop they are just shoving huge stacks at him preflop so he can't abuse them postflop. There is plenty of free learning to be had watching guys like this.

 

[braveslice]

Book about 5 dollars for me too, i follow you anyways, so it's just going to be more interesting if there is 'my money' involved.

Thanks & booked! :beer:
$5 for 5%

BTW do you play on party?? It'd be easier if it was transferred on party

 

[braveslice]

I still have party 10$ even though they took 70 dollars for not logging in. I don't like them much.

wtf!!??! I've never had an issue with them. In fact my favourite site to play right now. Only concerns I have are that the regular table anonymity & lower prize pools for tourneys.
Since it's a small amount sending it on stars wouldn't be a problem so no worries

 

[Alucard]

Had a little sweat session with Bruce. Had to cut it short due to his mic issues.
I haven't been posting hands lately so will start posting a few.

BTW have you heard of Alkaline water? We were introduced to it recently & I've never heard about it but theoretically the purpose of it makes sense & it seems to work wonders for people.
Check it out if you haven't heard already. We are thinking of getting one as well.

 

[braveslice]

Any hints how to send money in party?

 

[terryk]

Best thing for you,,i`ve been replenishing with water n juices all my life.I`m 49,,i look n feel like i`m 25,,,:marchmell
