I'm a day late with the weekly update, because I've been really ill. #SickPenguin
Week 15 Summary.
Truly a week of two halves. I planned to stick with 50NL and put in a bit more volume than usual. Things started well. Midway through Wednesday, I'd banked 110 euros, due partly to extended use of the 'Win Pot' button. #WitnessTheSickness
I balanced my overbet bluffs by getting some huge value from a LAG.
And then it got ugly. In the next 720 hands, I only saw 100 flops, because I was horrifically card dead. I got a bit tilted after this next hand and tried forcing things a bit too much.
On the rare occasions I actually flopped or turned a monster, the board ran out stupidly and I ended up folding.
Since I was aware I'd lost my mojo and all my profit for the week, I moved down to 25NL to rebuild. The players there are all absolutely terrible. Seriously, I think it's softer than 5NL on Stars. I was still card dead though, and bluffing was my only option. Unfortunately, I had another huge #OverbetFail.
Since I was going down with a cold and couldn't concentrate properly if I tried playing 4 tables, I decided to call it a day on Friday. I planned to take Saturday off and then play some tourneys on Sunday, but I just couldn't get out of bed over the weekend.
Headaches + toothache + runny nose + sneezing + downsw0ng = not a happy penguin.
The only good thing that happened was that yesterday I had a tooth extracted at the hospital, so I've greatly increased my chances of winning a Stealthmunk lookalike competition.
Weekly total: 3229 hands. Losses: 39.28 euros and one tooth. Lossrate: About -3bb/100. Rakeback/tourney ticks: 19 euros. Graph to follow below.
