Thanks to both of you!!

It's a funny thing, how your emotions towards poker changes completely within short period of time. Just two days ago I was under deep depression losing even when running a lot above EV, but right now I'm having all kind of joys that you can get from poker. Not because of the money, but when you get few succesful sessions in a row it makes you happy.

Played today mostly NL1000-2000, couple reg sessions and some vs fishies. There's been one reg trying to avoid me lately so I kept joining him and he finally gave me action at NL2000. Took him for 7500$ so I don't think he wants to be giving me action anytime soon again.

Now when I'm looking at my party points it looks like I have 96903 so I just need a bit over 3000 points to hit the 20,000$ bonus, it seems like I'm right on track and won't have any problem getting that. It's a good thing because if it had became a close one it probably would have gave me a bit stress and would probably make me play bad when I'm trying to force the hands in. Everything looks amazing right now!

His call 4bet is 33%, fold to 4bet 33% and 5bet 33%, so I would imagine he is shipping all pocket pairs and Ax, maybe even some Kx that he is 3betting preflop.

I make a standard cbet on flop like I would do with any other hand, when he calls me I think the only hands he can have are flushdraws and 56/76/87. I could fire another barrel to prevent him hitting free draw on river, but instead of that I thought I get more value if I check turn behind and call any non-diamond river if he happens to bet.

That was actually what happened and he decided to ship 1500$ into 1000$ pot.



Daily graph:

Wooow I'm tired, just coming here for quick day check like I promised. Played 1500 hands vs a reg today at nl1k, all hands today are from nl1k i think.

Been really working hard lately, got some sick amount of hands in last few days, it's nice when it's going good!

you sir are a beast congrats long may it continue! Fkn scandie machines :P

Jesus all the money!

planning to become pro myself but the level your at is absoloute insane.

Thanks.

Hehe I'm flattered. ^^

Day started well but ended up a bit worse, was just matter of time. Can't run hot forever. Today I had problems folding big hands, still don't know if I should fold or not. :P

I'm so clueless what to do, would he ship smaller flush? I don't think this ship is ever a bluff either, but again, would he really put me on a K flush as played? This is just confusing.. He didn't seem to be making big moves like this.

I actually had similar spot with him before with A flush, but that time it was 1 card flush, I think 2 cards flush has more value.

Such an annoying spot.

[i]Arghh, I saw him not to raise a good hand here before, also he ship raised before with nuts. My range here is 88/97/QJ/9J/K8/KT/9Q/69/J7/, so I'm like super polarized to no hand/strong hand.

He could have all full houses etc but I would expect him to raise it bigger, just such a tough spot. It looks so much like J9... but could he turn hands like AJ/AQ/JQ/ into a bluff? But it really seems there is more value hands in his range than bluffs. But I've seen him raise it back on flop with 2 pairs before so it would look only sets would be hands that he might play this way, and no reason to raise any pair since my range is polarized to strong hand/no hand.

But every time I call these hands I see myself getting beat, I'm getting good odds but I just don't think they ever bluff!! But it's a sick spot to fold too.

Wow what a hand this would be if he bets the river, I have around potsize bet behind and it's around 2.9k. Think there are lot of missed draws in his range, can't see me folding this one I think.



Going to play him more tomorrow, dropped 12k to him today. Think what I will do tomorrow is fold the rivers!!

Hopefully the next time I play will be better, that's all I got to say right now.

sick read OP, do you play exclusively on Party?

anyway, gl and keep us updated

I'm playing on 5 networks total, but 90% of my action comes from party.

I'm going to bet OP is busto.

What's OP's username on Party?

op is for sure not busto he is a sicko lol ur just a hater..keep up the good work ur a boss hope i play those limits some day aswell

solid first post... im gonna bet against

emmmm the graph looks like a suckout then raging tilt spew imo.

+1 for busto

Can I bet against?

Thanks!!

^^

Sucking out is like a hobby to me.

Hey folks,

Sorry for not keeping you updated, had lot of volume last few days and feel like my game is atm kind of lost. Nothing big really has been happening so I haven't had motivation to update this. I try to keep this updated as much as possible but there will be some days I'm just too tired/lazy to post.

Tiltwise I'm quite proud of myself, I've been able to keep my head and haven't really tilt at all. Of course there are some situations that I could play differently but those are not because of tilt, so game wise I'm happy. I probably would have made more profit if I didn't play so much. I've always told my friends that game quality beats volume all day long. I've just been mega addicted lately and have been trying to find action constantly.

I was able to hit my 100,000 party points and bought the 20,000$ bonus, that was one of the volume goals for the month and I already hit it now when the month is just slightly half way through. I need around 20,000 party points to clear the bonus and have 6 months time for it. That should be no problem.

Weekends are getting boring now since there is no more UFC for a while!! It used to be so good when there were some UFC cards to watch almost every weekend for long period of time. It was already becoming a nice habit to watch UFC and grind, but guess I'll just keep waiting. At least there is formula 1 this weekend but it's quite short compared to UFC, when it's only like 1.5-2hours while UFC being 6-7hours. And obviously much more boring LOL!! But what can I do?

This is the graph from my games after my last update:

gj, is that HU?

now all the haters can shut the **** up .

One of the most inspirational reads on the forum. I take my hat off to you for bouncing back. All the haters in this thread are just jealous imo. Hope you get some rungood for the second half of the month. Look forward to seeing graphs at the end of which.
