Greetings 2p2,

I’m AintNodaisy, this has been my poker handle for the better part of 20 years of online poker. I’m 40 (about to be 41). This is a poker blog, which begins will tales of low & micro stakes grinding (live and online), and ends with a 6 to 7 figure WSOP cash (or equivalent). Honestly, this could take a while. What about the bracelet, you ask? How about a Ring? Bracelets and Rings are for the “Poker Gawds,” to decide… But yeah, either would be the nuts. I’m just here, to get it in good.

We start, with 10 goals for July.

1) Eat a taco.
B) Post my worst played hands (no shame)
3) PM Doug Polk and ask him for some discounted merch
4) Post my graph for ACR, and at the end of the month
5) Answer random questions about Omaha 8 (Hint: when asked)
6) Run my bank roll up from $0, with my points on BetOnline with Micro MTTs
7) Don’t Tilt
8) Try to stay away from watching Mammacita, whenever she’s on live at the bike
9) Read: Zen and the Art of Poker
10) Get it in good (mostly)

ACR Bankroll started at $40; it's more than that now.
BetOnline Bankroll started at $0; it's more than that now. (have to find those screen captures)

I'm yet, to eat a taco.

glgl

good luck with your taco eating goals

Good luck fellow WPN support thread buddy. We will meet and do battle in the nosebleed stakes on ACR.

Thanks, FreeWill.

Goal accomplished! You'll have to take my word for it, but there was once a taco there.


Yes! Certainly. Thanks for the thread support!

Bankroll Update:

ACR Total: $102.28 (Start: $40)

It's been a bit of a micro stakes roller coaster the last couple of days, though I haven't put in much volume... When I got over 30 stacks ($60) at 2nl, I tried to move up to 5nl; but there weren't that many tables available. So, I played both limits; ran bad at 2nl, dropping below my 30 stacks (before moving up goal), while running good at 5nl. While my Bankroll was above $100 I debated whether I should be playing 5nl... Decided to keep playing and gave most of that initial 5nl surge back... Yeah, I ran below EV in this stretch, but I didn't play well overall. Ugh.

On the bright side, at least they'll be some donkey hands to post. I'll be posting those probably Monday.

BOL: 69.93$ (start: $0)

For BetOnline, I was going to load money up through bitcoin, but since I literally had enough points for one $1.10 MTT; I used those points, and this happened.



The very next night I played two $1.10 MTTs and got second place in one. Yes apparently, I'm that good.



I've got a long way to go with BoL since the smallest cash games are at 10NL; but they seem to have a better micro MTT tournament schedule (though we are still at $1 buy-ins) and I'm planning to see how I'll fair at some micro heads-up SNGs, when I have the time...

I was going to put in some volume today, but suffered a bad beat this morning as a friend of mine asked me to come over and help remodel their house. I'll be posting my donkey hands Monday.

Okay, it's annoying, but I'll have to post my donkey hands the old fashion method as hand converters aren't working with WPN. I contacted HM2 support, but nothing is immediately available for a fix.

Also, I played a little last night and lost... But, most annoying was that at least one or two (winning) hands didn't track at all. I still logged a losing session but it would have tracked a little better, than what the graph shows. Sorry about the lack of an interesting format.

You know what they say... The ****/show must go on!

Hand One: Double negatives, such as making bad moves against bad players... Do not equal a positive!



Hand Two: Tilt is a real thing!



Hand Three: By far... The worst of the three I think... Just picking a random pair to call down with is certainly a leak. What happens when internet soul reads go wrong? Here let me show you.



There... I feel better.

Try using the 2p2 hand converter. If that doesn’t work, there are a few free ones out there. I know deucescracked has one and RIO may have one that is compatible with 2p2

Thanks fast, I did try that one as well... It didn't work. I might be doing something wrong, so I'll look about and see what I can figure out.

Update: I reached Tilt Status this evening... After a few beats, losing a coin flip and and running into the top of a donkey's range... I need an aspirin...

Why I tilt at something like 2NL online, and don't really tilt with near the same severity at live 200-500NL, is pretty laughable... Honestly, It's just something I need to get over; I've pretty much (nobody is immune) eliminated tilt from my live game, and I'd really like to get over it online.

Bankroll Update:

ACR:$77.76

Notes: I'm struggling a bit; and not playing well. I've been going in and out of tilt. My graph doesn't look as bad as the actual damage is, because HM2 isn't tracking big pots correctly... (I've lost a good bit of those) This new software is the nut low. I'm going to watch some Polker-Hands; before my next session. I also played a few $1.10 MTTs, but got nothing in any of those.

I'll still post the ACR graph... But I've been debating on keeping the challenge going, because I can't show accurate results... Sucks!

BOL:$87.55

Notes: I've played a number of $1.10/$2.20 MTTs & about 30ish $3.50 HU S&G Hypers (about broke even on the HU hyper; not sure it's really worth it)... I made $7 bucks playing the new 5nl Boost tables and decided to shot a $15 HU... And won... I got so very close to binking a HU MTT, but made a pretty dumb mistake late and cost myself some equity...

Goal Achievement Update!

I've decided for #3 on my list... I'm going to PM Doug, and ask if I can send him an Upswing hat to sign... Probability of success? ehh... 50/50 (It either will work, or it won't)

Bankroll Update:

ACR: $87.68 (previously:$77.76)
BoL: $63.37 (previously: $87.55)

Notes:

America's Cardroom software is testing my limits and I find my sessions getting shorter and shorter. I'm still having problems with big pot, winners and losers tracking with HM2. I guess it doesn't matter. REally not getting anywhere with 2nl over the last 9-10K-ish, hands. Though risky, I've been taking shots at 5nl... This is one of those moves that works until it doesn't... BE Careful! I need some run good.

Ah... Well I thought I was moving in the right direction with BoL, but then I hosed off 25% of the BR taking a shot at their new "5nl-fast fold run it twice" Yeah, I ran horrendous, and I probably should have stopped at two buy-ins; but I'm so limited with the amount I have on there, so I tried to run it up... Back to the $1-$2 MTTs for sure...

Here is the (inaccurate) ACR graph:

Got thirded.



Was near the bubble in another $1 tourney... Second in chips, in a hand with the chip leader... With...



and...



Started the hand with 28K; chip leader had 32K. 4 spots till the money. Blinds at 250/500.

My opponent raises UTG to $1000; I 3-bet to $3750... Folds all around, he calls.

Pot: $8,250
Flop:10 7 2

UTG bets 4.5k; I call.
