Not at all happy with how I'm playing at the moment. Need to refocus and stop spewing in dumb spots. Still running pretty decent at spots though. (Won a $11 tournament for $500 yesterday) From now on, I will only start playing if I feel 100% focused and 100% wanting to click buttons for countless hours.

Profit since start of the thread: $5801

The HM2 graph seems a bit inaccurate, anybody know why?



Almost $1000 more in profits than in reality. Either there's some kind of problem or I've dumped way more money than I thought to the 0.50/1 8-game tables .

Still have 4 tables left for this session, maybe I can make something out of them. If not, then this session was just losing money.

Current BR: $7165

Wow nice run so far. Shall be glued to this thread, interested to see how well you do also you seem to play a lot of the tournaments I tend to play so hopefully shall see you on the virtual felt.
Also the amount of tables you play is incredible especially all stacked.

All the best of luck!

Had a good day, won the $5 2R1A thing for 1.5k and cashed a lot of others. I've ventured into zoom cash (nl50) a bit, since I don't have time to play MTT session always. My volume has been awful as usual and I have a lot of school things I need to do, so looks like I won't play that much in September.



Funny new feature on PS7. From the tournament I won today . The red line is my stack throughout the tournament, and the blue is average stack. I don't know how I really feel about this new pokerstars software, I'm so used to the old one, but I guess I will get used to this too.

Another good session, won a $33 tournament for 1.5k and cashed in pretty much everything. I'm kinda disappointed because there was so much more potential for today but couldn't run like god.

Over 10k bankroll, yay.

Playing again! Three days in a row playing, this is weird for me. I have that invincible feeling you get when you run good, excited to play. I'm still playing freezeouts up to $33 and rebuys up to $11. I don't think WCOOP-time is a good time to add a lot of the $55 tournaments to my schedule, as they are tougher now.

Tomorrow there is a nice WCOOP tournament, the $215 progressive super knockout starting very early, might take a shot at that!

Booked a decent winning session again, but I'm a bit tilted since this day could have been a bit better if I would have played better. Oh well. Next time I play I will focus 100% on playing good poker throughout the session.

Here is a hand with my thoughts. I rarely give this kind of strategic advice so you guys should be happy.

Poker Stars $5.00+$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t4000/t8000 Blinds + t1000 - 8 players
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

UTG+1: t271860 M = 13.59
MP1: t370427 M = 18.52
MP2: t323519 M = 16.18
CO: t685570 M = 34.28
Hero (BTN): t969843 M = 48.49
SB: t357994 M = 17.90
BB: t274793 M = 13.74
UTG: t323208 M = 16.16

Pre Flop: (t20000) Hero is BTN with 8 J

Pretty hand, calling is for old people so I 3-bet. I get 4-bet, my hand is still pretty it can flop flushes and straights so I call and see a flop.

Spoiler:
4 folds, CO raises to t16000, Hero raises to t42750, 2 folds, CO raises to t98700, Hero calls t55950


Spoiler:
Flop: (t217400) 3 8 T
I haz pair.

Spoiler:
(2 players)
CO bets t119570, Hero raises to t870143 all in, CO calls t466300 all in


Spoiler:

Turn: (t1389140) A (2 players - 2 are all in)

River: (t1389140) 3 (2 players - 2 are all in)

Final Pot: t1389140
CO shows Q Q (two pair, Queens and Threes)
Hero shows 8 J (a flush, Ace high)
Hero wins t1389140

Great thread OP. Fantastic results this far. Wish I had your success this month! I'm running like garbage for September. Do you coach?

Thanks! No, I don't coach, I'm not good enough to coach imo, and there are also way better ways to learn than getting coaching from me, like joining a training site. And I absolutely hate teaching.

Looks like I won't play today, but I will be back at it on Saturday. I have that itch to play now, have to play almost every day.

Are you going to play any of the WCOOP on saturday? I won a seat to the $109 so maybe see you on the felt.

Good luck!

I'm on a bit of a downwards spiral, but still feeling good about my game. I was getting so used to winning everyday this is annoying.

Will play a session now, hopefully I'm able to return to my winning ways.

Definitely not running like god anymore. I feel like I've been playing pretty well, but just haven't run good. Still it's a $4k downswing, so I might play bit lower for a while to get that confidence back up.
