Thanks for the input. I have been thinking about his hand alot since last night and I perhaps played this too fast. Once I raise to 75 pre my hand is pretty face up here against most players.

This 2/5 reg plays a very LAG style and I built a huge pot when I could have just flatted the 25 and played slower post flop.

Gonna post this hand to llsnl to see what they say.

16th Session

Buyin: 200 + 100

Duration: 6 hrs 23 min

Cashout: 342

Result: +42

Kinda frustrated with this result as I had about 200 to 300 profit the whole time and in the last hour I ran a flush into a higher flush in back to back hands. Still booked a win which is always nice. Not alot of tough spots.

Hand 1
Hero 550 Sb
V1 21
V2 120


*V1 UTG limps V2 UTG +1 limps, Hero has 10c10h. He raises to 15.

V1 debates and then only calls leaving 6 behind. V2 thinks for a bit and then calls.

Flop 844r.

I lead 25 V1 calls all in. V2 ships it in for 110 total. I call the 85 and V1 has 89off, V2 has A4 off.

Board bricks out and I double V2 up. I think I could have found a fold here as it seems pretty clear V2 has a 4.

Hand 2
Hero 400
V1 100
V2 180


Cutoff QJ

Limps around and I call. V2 btn calls, SB V1 calls.

Flop 9c10dAs

Sb checks, I check, V2 bets 15. Sb calls, I call.

Turn 10c

Sb checks, I check, V2 bets 25. V1 seems pained and fold shows the guy next to him.

I think for a bit. I think V2 has an Ace. He has 90 left after his raise. I decide if I raise I could rep the 10. If he calls I have outs.

I raise to 75. He tank folds and both Villians tell me I made a good raise.

17th Session

Buyin: 215 (found 3,$5 chips in my car.)

Duration: 3 hrs 53 min

Cashout: 444

Result: +229

I played this session even though I was really tired from no sleep Sunday night. I was 3 hrs and 30 mins short of my 40 for the freeroll. So I pushed through and booked a win. Had a few fish at the table for sure.

Hand 1
Hero 200
V1 33
V2 130ish

UTG AcQc raise to 15. V1 UTG +1 goes all in for 33 total. V2 Btn calls. I call 18.

Flop 884r(102)

Check, check

Turn 2c(102)

Check check

River5

I check V2 bets 75. He seems weak but all I have is Ace high. I muck.

V1 says Ace high, V2 says your hand is good and mucks????????????????

I asked why he bet the river. And he said to get me out? But you couldn't beat Ace high he said I had KQ and thought V1 had worse than that. I quickly say nice hand and good bet. I don't want him thinking that play was bad I want him trying that again.

I continue to slow play hands against this Villain and get paid off when I flop an opened striaght draw, he bets I call. I turn the striaght and check. He bets, I reraise and he jams for not much more. River is a blank and he mucks saying he had top pair. I tend to believe this guy just bluffs way too much. I saw him call off 1 stack with and open ended draw.

Happy I played and booked another win as it moved my BR to just over 2k.

18th Session

Buyin:200+ 200

Duration: 6 hrs 18 mins

Cashout: 585

Result: +185

I book another winning session which feels great. Especially since I was down to 100 at 1 or 2 points.
I started the session off by pretty much lighting $150 on fire in the first 30mins when I should have folded. After that hand I shook it off and promised myself to play better. And I actually stuck to the plan. Pretty much got unstuck because of 2 hands. Both times I had KK and flopped top set and managed to get doubled up.

Hand 1
Hero 200.
V1 270
Just sat down. Player to my left gets bet off a big hand where someone shows a bluff.

Hero btn. JJ raises to 15. V1 calls(player discribed above). Bb folds.

Flop 984r(32)

V1 checks I bet 20 V1 calls.

Turn 10r(72)

V1 checks, I bet 25, v1 raises to 75, I call at this point I'm hoping he is on tilt but I should have folded.

River K(222)

V1 bets 100. I have 116 behind. I call. V1 shows 10s for a set. Nh. I played this pretty badly. I should have folded to his check raise and definitely his river bet.

Hand 2
Hero 200 rebuy
V1 1100 sb
V2 200 BB
Hero btn KcQs raises to 12.

V1 calls, V2 calls

Flop Ah10h4s(36)

V1 checks, V2 checks, Hero bets 25. Both players check to me and I was preflop raiser so I try and get both to fold or at least get heads up.

V1 calls, V2 folds

Turn Kh(86)

V1 checks, I check. Well part of the plan worked. The King brings the flush. If V is trying to trap for a check raise I want to get a free card.

River Ks(86)

V1 checks. I bet 45 V1 has showed nothing but weakness. I'm hoping he has an AQ or AJ and makes a crying call. V1 takes 30 seconds to call and rolls over Ah9h for the nut flush. Glad he didn't bust me as I think I would had to call a shove. He had me totally fooled on this hand.

Hand 3

Hero 100
V1 150
V2 250(seems very uneasy and not someone who has played much poker)

Hero AQ mp limps.V1 Btn raises to 8, V2 calls BB, I call mp

Flop Ac9c4s.

V2 checks, I check, V1 raises to 10, V2 thinks for minute then reluctantly makes the call. I make it 30 total. V1 folds, V2 thinks for a minute, asks how much then puts out 50, dealer makes him make it 60. I'm not sure if he is trying to call or raise. I have 45 back after my raise so I jam for 15 more. He snap calls.

Turn Qs
River 5x

V2 shows a 9 and then mucks.

I double back to 200.

Hand 4

Hero 130
V1 200
V1 mp raises to 6(fishy guy). Hero KsKc raises to 20. Folds back to V1 who calls.

Flop Kd5c6h(43)

V1 checks, I bet 10. V1 calls. I bet small cause I want him to come along with all his range.

Turn 9s(63)

V1 checks I bet 20, V1 raises to 40. I tank then jam. V1 insta calls. I show K's for a set he shows 9's for a worse set. I double. Happy with my bet sizes pre and post flop.

Hand 5

Hero 250
V1 300
V2 250

Straddle from V1 UTG. V2 UTG+1 raises to 15. Hero btn KhKd calls. Straddle calls.

Flop K65r.

V1 checks, V2 bets 36, Hero tanks then raises to 100. V1 insta shoves for 250. V2 debates for along time and then folds I call 150 more and roll over Top set. V1 says he is way dead.

Turn and River are blank. This hand just played itself. But my smooth call preflop instead of 3 betting kept what I assume was 2 pair in the hand.


Run Bad in real life.

On the way home at 330am my car died on the highway. And only 2 miles from my house. So I had a fun brisk walk back to my house. Hopefully whatever it is its not too expensive to fix.

19th Session -Super Bowl Sunday

Buyin: 200 + 100 + 100

Duration: 8 hrs 10 mins

Cashout: 351

Result: -49

On account of the super bowl the casino was running a high hand promotions and splash pots for every turnover or points scored. Needless to say this brought out all sorts of people and the room was very full.

Unfortunately things didn't really go my way. It started off rough with Hand 1 below. Then I pretty much just played really tight and didn't get any cards. I didn't even take notes on the hand I doubled up to get back to even. Think I got Q's twice in 8 hrs, no Aces, Kings or AK that whole time. Happy that I old lost 49 considering how bad the cards were running for me.

Hand 1

Hero 200.
V1 90

A few players limp to the Hero on the btn. Hero has KQ makes it 12. Everyone folds back to V1 who calls.

Flop KdJd9c(27)

V1 checks hero bets 20. V1 reluctantly calls.

Turn 8s(67)

V1 goes all in for 50, I call. V1 has 10c7s

Really sucks he hit his 8 but other than that I want him in with that hand. But this hand kinda set the tone for the night. Can't run good all the time.

Just passed 100 hrs at $20 an hour profit between sessions 18 and 19. Next 100 hours should be fun and can't wait to see if my hourly improves, states the same or gets worse.

20th Session

Buyin: 200

Duration: 5 hrs

Cash Out: 0

Result: -200

This session was interesting I was fairly card dead and played really tight. We had 1 player who went on tilt and lost over 800 he had in front of him and then three more $200 buying. I won the last $200 and as a result got the brunt end of this Villians verbal abuse towards winning players. I just laughed which pissed him off more and he left the game quickly after.

I ended up busting my stack when I raised a straddled button to 25 with AKo. V1 calls. LAG Asain man.

Flop AQ9(55)

I bet 35, V1 calls

Turn K(125)

I check planing to check raise as this V is prone to raising when checked to.

V1 bets 15. I raise to 60. V1 makes it 160. I have 150 behind and it's 100 to go. I jam and he calls. V1 has J10.

River: 3

Kinda thought I might be beat here when V1 raises 100. But V1 could also have more than a few 2 pair combos as well so I don't hate the play.

1-5 $1000
6-14 $750

I didn't take any notes. As really I had nothing to write about. I played really tight to the first break. Second break I won a few hands but still stayed around 15-20k stack. Third break and we have 25 people left. I am a 20k short stack and am hoping to fold/jam into the money.

My plan pays off and I slide into the money in 19th place. 18th and 17th on had 1k more in chips then me so it was close at the end.

Good job on the freeroll score. It's nice to get some of that rake back in the bankroll.

In regard to the tilty guy, there is a short list of people that play in that room that I love to stack more than others. I know my main villain wouldn't dump stacks as described though, he is too big of a nit, haha!

Best,

Thanks, I now have the goal to try and make every 40 hour free roll if possible. I'm sitting at the table as I write this trying to get those hours.

I have seen plenty of loose 100 Buyin ATM machines that have what seems like an endless amount of 100s. But this guy takes the cake as far as tilt goes. I get being aggressive but damn EVERYONE hand. How do you not expect to go broke?

Buyin: 200

Duration: 2 hrs 50 min

CashOut: 0

Result: -200

This session was a bust and it made 2 in a row. Started the session getting my Aces cracked.

Hand 1
Hero 200
V1 69
4 or 5 limpers to Hero in BB. Hero has AA. Raises it to 15 striaght. V1 BTN calls.

Flop QQ2

Hero leads 20, V1 jams for 54. I call.

Turn 6
River 7

V1 shows KQ.

Thanks dealer.

Hand 2
Hero 100 BB.

UTG makes it 7. Everyone calls to me. I decide to just call 5. Mistake 1.

Flop 6h9h3d.

Checks to btn who bets 15, SB calls I call. Mistake 2.

Turn 5c.*

I check hoping to check raise. Btn makes it 20, SB folds, I jam and he snap calls.

V1 Sb has 5s.

After reading my notes I immediately think FPS. Checking to check raise should only be heads up against a Villian you are sure will bet into you. All I did was give away free cards and put my money in behind.

22nd Session

Buyin: 200

Duration: 4 hrs

CashOut: 603

Result: +403

This was a good session and much needed to get me back on track.

Hand 1

Hero 200
V1 100

V1 just sat down and has played the first 3 hands raising 2. I have played with this V before. He is older, and is aggressive and capable of making plays.

V1 UTG player makes it 6. 3 limpers to Hero on the BTN. Hero has AA. Hero makes it 22.

V1 calls, all other players fold.

Flop K8Jr(pot 65)

V1 checks hero bets 30, V1 calls

Turn 8(pot 125)

V1 checks and has 50 behind. I bet a stack of reds. V1 snap calls.

River 4

I show AA and V1 mucks

Hand 2

Hero 300
V1 ATM buys in for 100 calls everything, rebuy, repeat.
V2 older man that plays baseball games on his phone the whole time he is at the table.

Btn straddle to 5. Hero UTG calls AKo.

5 limpers to BTN. V1 Btn jams for 23 total.

Folds to hero. I call V2 UTG +1 calls, mp calls, and highjack call.

Flop AhQs9h. (140)

Hero leads 100, V2 calls. V2 has 80 behind. Other players fold

Turn 8c (pot 340)

Hero bets V2 allin. V2 calls.

River 5s (pot 600)

Hero shows AK, V1 mucks, V2 shows Ah2h for a top pair and a missed flush draw. Hero scoops pot.

Hand 3

Hero 550
V1 275 asain man I played with on new years. Nice guy, laughs alot but very loud when he talking. Goes between LAG and TAG. Likes to open to 6 alot.

V1 opens to UTG to 6. 2 mp callers to Hero on the Btn. Hero has QQ. I try and raise to 15, but grab 1 white and 2 red instead of 3 red. Dealer says I must make it 12. I toss in the other white and then blurt out without really think it through " I meant to just call". V1 laughs and makes it 47 very quickly. Other Villains fold.

I really think V1 is making a play here. I think his range is 7s-Js, AK, AQS and a few suited Broadway combos. I don't want to put in 50 and then fold on the flop. If an Ace or a King come. I decide to raise. V1 has 200 behind, minimum raise is too weak. I debate and then make it 200 to go. If he calls he has 50 behind. So it's a jam or fold. He tanks then folds. Later he tells me he had KQ.

Not sure if you are looking for advice but here goes:

You need to open bigger then you are.

Hand 1 with an opener and 3 caller, I'd raise to at least $30 pre, I'd prob go $36

Hand 2. I'm not sure if you limped to reraise but now that you have the opportunity, isolate to something around $65-75. You don't want to be playing a pot out of position 5 ways with AK

Hand 3, again your 3b needs to be bigger. $30-36 seems about right.

First off thanks for posting, second I am always looking for advice on how to improve in anyway possible.

I have to say I do have to agree with you. Especially hand 2 and 3. Hand 1 I think 25 to 30 would have been good.

I have been adjusting my opening raises and 3 bets to be larger to isolate but I now that you mention it I should be opening larger and paying more attention to this.

I really do appreciate the input so please keep it coming and don't be afraid to tell me I played it bad. I want to debate, I want to understand what I am doing wrong and where I can fix leaks. I can only see things thru my eyes so an outside perspective is always a good thing. Well almost always.

I agree on the bigger (much) raises, that's what I was thinking when reading your hands. $30-35 for hand 1. Hand 2, raise to at least $20 the first time, as played, raise to ~$75 to iso the btn. Hand 3 - your raise to $15 in an $18 pot is completely pointless. Make it $36-40. As played, great job making it to $200.

Good luck!

Thanks for your input. I agree with your analysis. Hand 2 should have been raised and then isolated would have been the best play.

I have had 2 more sessions since last post that I need to update but I did use larger bet sizing pre and post flop. Results were good.

Only problem is I'm a bit of TAG and these raises tend to really narrow my range. As a result I think I can start playing a wider range in position.

The 1/2 games I play tend to be really tight. Standard preflop raise is usually 7-12. 3 or 4 limpers.

Great session. Things went really well and I was hitting alot of flops, turns and rivers. I miss played 1 hand which I will post below. Think I should maybe post it to llsnl. Please feel free to tell me what you think. I really think I miss played my hand.

Hand 1

Hero 600
V1 300
V2 140
V3 150

Everyone limps to Sb who makes it 7. Calls all around to hero in mp with Qd8d. 7 callers total

Flop: 6d4d2h(pot 50)

Checks to btn V1 who bets 30. V2 calls, Hero calls, V3 calls.

Turn 9c(pot 170)

Hero checks, V3 checks, V1 raises 75 very quickly(5 seconds), V2 tanks and then says oh well and jams for 105. Hero tanks, and tanks. Then makes a huge mistake and folds.

V3 folds, V1 calls.

River Ad

V2 shows 7s, V1 mucks and V2 rakes a huge pot.

I just think the odds were too good to fold here. I was pretty sure V3 would fold as he is extremely tight. I also felt that V1 could be bluffing as he bet huge on the flop when checked to and continued when checked to on the turn. V2 I thought had the only good hand.

February Update.


[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]

At okay month overall. Experience both run bad and play bad. Probably more play bad than anything. If I had not had made $500 for the freeroll I would be negative $-7 bucks so still not too bad a result.

I have the hours from February to play in another freeroll which is now my goal each month.

If I can get 40 hours a month and post a positive month I will be pleased as punch. Not worried about bankroll and moving up. Simply want to play well and keep playing well, learning and growing.

I have to appreciate the little things. Simply having the bankroll to be able to go play anytime I want is huge for me. For years I struggled financially having the wife and kids and job, mortgage and car payments.

Now I am single and my life is finally on track to where I want to go. I have a good job, I have a degree and I am getting a second one at the moment. I get to see my son almost everyday. And my bills are finally manageable. Even after paying a huge child support payment every month for the next 12 years.

I have a nice 4 bedroom house I own, a nice car I just paid off( 2007 nissan maxima fully loaded)(used to driving old beaters my whole life). I also have a ton of guitars, amps, pedals which is my second love.

Life could always get better and it could always get worse. But for right now it's pretty f ucking great.

Session started off okay, went down to 100 rebought for another 200 and then ran it up to a even then up a few hundred.

Pretty mad at myself for a) not taking notes and b) over correcting my tight fold image to very loose and Hero calling more than I normally would.

Ran into some rough spots where I was aggressive to the river. Then got jammed on and had spots were it was 40 or 50 into a 300-400 pot.

I was sitting at a 250 stack ready for my last orbit.6 players limp, I limp Sb with 27o. Bb checks.

Flop 27Kr

Hero checks, V1 bets 20 everyone folds, Hero calls,

Turn Ac ( brings a flush draw)

Hero checks, planning to check raise(probably a FPS). V1 bets 42, Hero tanks then jams, V1 quickly calls.

River blank. V1 shows K2 for a better flopped 2 pair and my night is done.

I get a comp for 15 and get 4 huge pieces of pizza for the road.

The graph is looking pretty solid. It looks like you are getting some room to play comfortably with your bankroll.

I would fold all of your trashy hands in the sb. I don't think the poor position postflop can be overcome, even given decent pot odds pre. It sounds like this is your generally your train of thought, and based on your statement in your last post, you just happened to make a poor adjustment to your play and were getting in there with hands that you wouldn't normally.

If I may make a suggestion, I think that if you provide some more texture to your hand history's, it will improve the quality of the comments that posters can make. For a lot of your hand history's, there just isn't a lot of room to provide discussion based on what is there. For instance, information on opponents types/tendencies, history with opponents, your thoughts on each street of play, etc.

I am enjoying following a fellow Okie's thread and progress. Keep up the solid work!

Thanks, I have to say I am happy so far with my graph, wondering what it will look like at 500 hours after 1 year. I am fully aware this could be rungood, or an upswing, I have yet to experience any "bad beats" so far. Most of my biggest losses have come what I consider mistakes.
Time will tell I suppose. I'm optimistic about the future.

Writing a more detailed hand history would be a good idea, I tend to take rough notes while playing and then go back over them later and add things I missed. Sometimes I think this gets me into trouble as my short term memory can be pretty bad from time to time.

I have to agree about the small blind. I think I have been playing to loose in that spot. Calling with junk over time has to be -EV, even for a buck. When I do hit I'm usually behind like the hand above.

And I really think I have over corrected and it has put me in these tough spots with mediocre holdings having to call large river bets. If I started with more premium holdings I would be in these tough spots less often. And when I was in them it would be easier to make a decision.

Thanks for the heads up Zombie it really helps to have an outside perspective. This reminds me of my favorite Pink Floyd lyric.

"Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me"- Roger Waters

Love me some Dark Side of the Moon.

Sitting at the Casino buffet drowning my sorrow in shi tty buffet food.

Played the monthly freeroll and busted 22nd. Top 20 automatically get paid.

Nothing really went well but I should have cashed had it not been for a hand or two I misplayed.

I misplaced QQ from UTG+1, UTG raised(tight player known as Nascar) I just call and 3 more limp. Flop comes a King, checks around Turn brings an Ace. I fold to a bet.

With blinds at 2000/1000 and Antes at 200. Folds to hero who has been really tight. Hero has Js2s. Hero looks up and sees the blinds look ready to fold, the Btn is sitting still and has not looked. I figured if I Jam all I have to do is get past the btn. My stack is 17k. I jam everyone folds.

Next hand, folds to Hero. As2s. Hero looks for players to be ready to fold but no one has looked. I decided to try 1 more time.

Everyone folds to Sb who calls for 12k. Shows 10s and hold up.


I'm down to 10kish stack. I pretty much have to fold every hand until I am in BB with 3k in and 3500 behind. Someone allin jams and I have to fold. Next hand I but half my stack in again and have fold when someone all in and calls.

If I would have folded that A2 hand I would have probably made the money. And that 500 would have been huge. Oh well.

My tournament skills are lacking to say the least. I think I will skip the wsop circuit event even though I really wanted to play the monster stack.

28th Session

Buyin: 200

Duration: 2 hrs 30 mins

Cashout: 354

Result: +154

Good session with a good table.

Played a few interesting hands.

Hand 1
Hero 150
V1 100(nascar) should be know as Mario cart cause he is so slow. Every decision is a long one. 1 player referred to playing with like playing cards with your brothers kid. You have to remind him to act everytime, he never sees the action ahead of him. Just slows down the game in many ways.

Limps to Hero who limps Sb. Js9s. Hero calls V1 checks BB.

Flop 8s6s2h

Hero checks, V1 bets 7, 2 callers, Hero calls.

Turn 4d

Hero checks, V1 bets 23 and says "it's my old racing number". Folds to hero who calls and says "it was also Jordan's number". He claims it was his first. I laugh.

River 10s

V1 has about 40 behind. Hero bets V1 allin. V1 bitches and moans about how everyone always calls him down and hits. He calls and asks to see the spades. I oblige.

Hand 2

Hero 230
V1 230 old man calling station
V2 130 lawyer, smart and funny good for the table
V3 300 LAG Asain man

Hero UTG Qs10s. V2 has btn straddled everytime but not 3 bet 1 time. I limp hoping to get to a flop cheap willing to call a raise. V1 calls, V2 raises to 25, V3 calls, Hero calls, V1 calls.

Flop Js9h8h (pot 110)

Bingo. V3 checks, Hero checks, V1 bets 50, V2 calls, V3 folds, Hero jams for 200. V1 calls, V2 calls.

Turn Jc

River 6d

Hero shows straight, V1 mucks 4h5h, V2 shows Qh10x.

Hand 3

Hero 400
V1 100 LAG? Have not played much with
V2 200 LAG Asain man from before. Had been being punished by an old man all day. Was on tilt from losing another hand to him.

Lawyer straddled the btn to 5 again. Sb folds, BB calls V2, Hero looks down at AsKs. Raises to 30. V1 calls, Lawyer complains on the btn then folds. V2 calls seems frustrated.

Flop Qs9h4c(pot 100)

V2 checks to Hero, I could check here but I want to continue my aggression here. If V1 doesn't have a Queen he has to fold. He has 70 behind. I bet 45. V1 says "screw it" and jams for 70. V2 snap calls. I know I'm behind here but I have overs and a back door flush draw and it's 25 to win a 310 pot. I call.

Turn blank

V2 checks, Hero checks

River blank

V2 checks, Hero checks

V1 shows QJo and scoops the pot, V2 mucks.

2017 hrs [94.5]
