hmm .... for once I had a huge stack in the 33.- pko 100k on party, itm I then lost two flips in a row 55<ak for 30+ bb and and ak<99 for 70+bb .... out for like 130.- (fkn party )

on 888 I won the 22 NLO8 PKO for the third time already ... almost 500.-
some other cashes in medium mtts ... still in the 33.- big fish on the bubble

so up some hunnies today for sure

yesterday I had a huge chiplead on the fts of the 22 pko and the 7,5 pko simultaneously .... in the end very unlucky in the 22 pko ... blind v blind vs 2nd in chips jj<aq and then aj< j5 for my last blinds ... 5th I think
in the 7,5 pko I got 3rd after an ill advised call down vs a donk in the big blind who hit every hand aj<104off on 44x board with flushdraw I call down his checkraise and shove on turn ..... should fold donks never bluff in high pressure spots huge

.... still up some hunnies also yesterday

rather frustrating week and weekend, down some hunnies, could be worse though

played the pko series on party, running way under ev. most of the days, loosing all huge flips itm in the 100k or 200k 33.- pkos and busting at final two tables in a couple of 11.- mtts ..... down on party as usual

my party graph .... just hit the zero line :/



also running quite bad on 888, most importantly:
- loosing qq<kqs on the ft of the 16,5 big fish (3k for first) for a frustrating 7th place (like 500.- bucks)
- loosing jj<ak on the final two tables of the 33.- sunday big fish (6k for first) cashing like 200.- bucks only after a very long and promising grind

my 888 graph (at least still up a bit last week)

aah .... the best thig I forgot, got myself a new ergonomic office chair from ikea, was always satisfied with their quality in my former company.... and the design of the gamers chairs is not my cup of tea

https://www.ikea.com/at/de/p/markus-...grau-70261150/

uneventful week...nothing new on party.... on 888 pretty even till today

=> got 8th in the 109 megadeep for 500.- (ill-timed 20bb re-shove with 22 vs a late big-stack open ..... behind me kk woke up and hold), had also two smaller final tables and a lot of cashes

.... still not the worst result in the megadeep, right after the bubble I defended q3s with 9bb vs a button open, the flop was A high with a flush-draw for me, the raiser checked back flop, on the turn I went for the check-shove (he finally obliged with a bet) and got the fold :P

=> up almost 1k today

p.s.: as smb asked for some secret strategies, here is one:
If I am bluffing I always "convince" myself I have one of the best hands in my range on the board ....... and play accordingly ......... its crazy how many huge folds u get "when you flop virtual sets in position) :P

exhausting days, running deep but busting in all big spots

- 44pko on 888, chipleader on final two tables, shortie with 30.- bootie shoves, lag with 240.- booty on button overshoves, I call in bb with ajo ......... shorty has 22, lag has a10o ...... 10 on the flop, the rest low cards ........ => 3 outered in a 500+ equity and huge chiplead spot for the ft ..... then carddead till the ft, shove 9bb k10o late, sb wakes up with jj - out for miesly 150.- bucks



- 22 minimegadeep on 888, last 13, I have 15bb+, 13bb stack limps on the button, I shove kk, he has aa => crippled I manage to make one more payjump and loose with 4 bb in the bb j9<88 ...... 11th for around 200.- bucks

..... sligthly winning on 888 everyday, but loosing all big equity spots in an unlucky fashion for a month now :/

..... not to forget that I lost some on party..... so a rather a break even month

..... lets hope for some BIG Christmas presents?

lets show off some funky hands

call flop, lead turn half pot, shove river..... get tha fold



3 bet from tight reg close to the bubble in the 44pko, call small bet on flop, medium bet on turn, shove river after he snapchecks, get tha fold




44 or 55 pko: bet 30% on flop, 50% on turn (orig. raiser seems weak, possible other flushdraw has a hard time calling 3 way on a paired board), get them folds




checkraise 3 ways after loose fish cbets small and weak reg calls, planning on barreling backdoors, only button calls, check turn (willing to give up), she snapchecks, 4 card str8 seems good for me (put her on jx), 70% pot bet, she folds




my favourite hand

I defend bb 4 way with 96off, board comes 1076 with flushdraw..... I donklead into 3 ppl 30% pot, button and sb call, turn A, I bet half pot repping a str8, button calls, sb folds, river 6.... so I have trips blocking str8 still ..... consider valuebetting, but button obv has a fullhouse or a bricked flushdraw..... so I decide on check call.... he bets..... and shows a missed draw with kqs

got 1,50 (!!) rakeback on stars, spun it up to 120.- ...... already looking for flights to Vegas :P

rip stars roll again, traded additional 120.- 888 => stars........ had one hilarious day... rip roll again

on 888 I still suffered from the "final two table curse" ...... altogether id say I made like 30 final two tables over 6 weeks on 3 sites without having a bigger score...... this felt like drowning af

last couple of days were better though, I made 3rd places in the 12 lightning, the 33pko, the 44pko and yesterday I shipped the early 22 starfish for 690.- and made 4th in the 109pko for 800.- + (still I busted in a 30+ bb pot ak<a4o )

most of the last scores where in regheavy fields most of the time, I have to say more and more I prefer playing regs, especially in later stages, I can chip up a lot by exploiting them without depending on good cards or hitting flops, vs donks or recs I often have much more trouble to do so when carddead or flopdead

888 graph

some hands that show how I chip up vs regs (mostly by letting them make their range-bets and attack these)

in the 109pko:

check back "tanking" flop ..... "tank" shove over his turnbet


take advantage of the aggro bigstack



close to the bubble in the 22 starfish (bully the bully):

had a deep run in the 109pko and made 7th in the 33 fish (ul on the ft though, lost most of my big stack by 3 bet-calling ak from the sb to a late open, running into aa)

extremely unlucky in a huge spot in the 109pko (in via 27.- in sats) nearing the money, did not make it itm then, but still a profit of 50.-+ only with booties



on the final table of the 12.- deepcatfish I shoved 20bb 1010 over a 9 bb shove and the bigblind wakes up with aa (again on a ft!!!!).... 6th for 240.-

winning steadily on 888, but I am still due for a big Christmasbink :P

nothing too exciting happened, keeping my graph solid, lost some hunnies on ps though (still running awful after the bubble when I reach it with good stack, like in the 22 freezout winterseries loosing a 60bb pot ak<aq)

pff, im getting a bit tired, the last days the same as the last months:

- last 3 in the 33pko, cl has 50bb, me 40bb and 3rd 15bb: cl manages to shove 50bb over my 3 bet from the bb and I loose qq<88 ..... a 700.- ev spot

- still loosing most big spots on final two tables or early on fts, mostly 70+% or horrible coolers running into aa with 1010+ or ak..... 3 times today alone!

still up on 888 constantly, loosing a bit on stars

=> actually I am really proud that I keep winning constantly, rarely see graphs as steady as mine ...................... still .......... I feel highly due for a bigger bink again :P




WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

a quick update...

things going a bit slower lately, still making money, but hmm....

888: Graph solid as always, could ascend a bit steeper by my taste :P



Party: Upndown ...... break even last year



Stars: Same as party (dont forget - the loosing part is years ago when I was a rec - punter .... )



cheers

p.s.: was fighting awfully with influenza for almost a month - its hard to play your best when your head feels either like exploding or numb .......

what a week .............

last week my dog Bruno had to go out urgently in the middle of the night and lazy me took him around the corner wearing Crocks (!) on the snow (!!!)

....... guess what happened ................... I slipped, banged hard on my back, as I had the dog line in the hand ..................... I had a breathing block for almost a minute and hardly could get up alone .....

..... later at home the pain really kicked in, I broke my rib ............. holy **** what a painful week, for 3 days I could almost not at all get up from bed and the worst - every time I coughed (late symptoms from my influenza) I almost passed out from pain and my eyes were full of tears!

Last two days I am almost pain-free though

Poker-wise went better, constantly winning modestly on 888 (loosing a bit on Party though - as usual) .....

and .......

yesterday ............... I made 2nd in the 33.- Big Fish on 888 for 2,7k!!

So, the ascension of my graph really picked up, I am up like 5k on 888 in 2019!!!

Unlucky with the rib, nice graph!

Thanks a lot!

.... rather stupid than unlucky though :P

Cool read, results very excellent and consistent @ 888.

glgl

Thx a LOT

Good to see that at least one or two ppl are reading my thread :P

Very nice results!
No variance in mtt`s at all haha

jap - crazy how I keep my winrate solid on 888 for over a year now, very solid brm though

..... if just my party and ps graphs could look similar (break even-ish with a crazy fever-curve on both)

I dont really understand that, because if I check out graphs of reg - villains they often loose a lot on 888 or have crazy swings - I cant imagine they can afford to have such graphs on other sites also, but maybe their main sites look solid, as does my "home 888" for me ..... hmmm

I sharkscoped all three accounts. I think the field size between stars and 888/partypoker make a big difference imo.

Party Poker and 888 you have almost similar average entrants (600 - 450)
Party Poker looks just like cold streak to me. You make a lot of runs but miss out on de big scores. Sounds like bad variance to me.

On stars you avg entrands goes above 2000+ which increases variance a lot. Eventually the big score wil come haha

Gl on the tables man !

wow - thanx for the effort and the kind words!!!!!!!!!!

you might be right - some weeks ago i was on the ft bubble with good stack in two mtts with a combined first place of like 7k, mbe even more - within 5 min. i bust both with kk<ax

guess i had dozens of final two tables on party last half year .... and not the small ones!!!!

NOT RUNNING PARTICULARLY WELL THESE DAYS

55PKO FT (2K on top) - last 4



ft bubbled the 30 fiesta (1k+ on top) reshoving a 3x button raise almost 20bb aj<a5s (mtt usually soft af)

and ft bubbled the late 16 fish (1k+ also on top) 1010<aa with 15bb

ah yes - had a huge stack in the 109pko nearing the bubble - lost qq<ak for a 70bb+ (!!!) pot .... and softbubbled a9<33

all within max. 3 hours

smts poker is rly hard

better luck to you my friends
