Re: A broke HU veteran's quest to 100k

I'm gonna call it a day.. too bad it ended below 0 but I think I played very good today. Don't regret any play and basically just had some negative variance against a fish who joined with $15 and hit hand after hand after hand He left with close to $200 lol.

Also played 500 hands against a regular who wanted to 2 table me after I lost 2 buyings to him. Pretty much owned his soul throughout the whole match and went from -100 to +150 and then lost AK<AQ preflop allin I quit shortly after cuz I'm tired and the only reason I would still play is to have a positive day lol.

I always tend to grind harder and longer when I'm down... definately not optimal =)

...You get the picture Probably misplayed some hands as well along the way cause having a super shortie who runs hot is pretty tilting. You basically spend time grinding to eventually win less than if you didn't play him because of rake.

Re: A broke HU veteran's quest to 100k

nice graph. i'm doing a hu cash challenge myself. the only difference is that i start at 2nl on ipoker and that i'm not so great hu. but i'll just hope i will be able to get out of 2nl pretty fast. good luck at the tables.

Re: A broke HU veteran's quest to 100k

Back up on my feet and up $70 today

Taking it easy, only 400 hands. Tomorrow is another day.

Played a reg and was able to tilt him insanely by 3betting almost every single hand because he kept folding preflop. Once he started flatting he got out of his comfort zone and made ****load of mistakes. Felt awesome. He left after I took 2 buyins, of which one was actually mine though.

Re: A broke HU veteran's quest to 100k

I'm sad to say I haven't been able to play a lot of hands these last few days. I took a 12hr flight on Monday and have been experiencing some jetlag... Often feeling tired and also quite busy doing other things. Meh

Tried to play a session yesterday but it didn't work out well. Got to play a villain who seemed to be very crazy/aggressive in the beginning but turned out to be a nit that was running hot. Los a few buyins against him.

I really hope that I'm not unconsciously trying to avoid playing or looking for excuses not to play. Cause that's kind of how I messed it all up before. On the other hand I also don't want to force myself to play when I'm not feeling good about it... I should probably just get some rest?

I also noticed I have some problems playing weak/passive villains with a very high river aggression factor, should definately check that out.
