Wow, congrats! Makes me want to play donkaments again. As for me, im up 70 bucks since complaining earlier about being on a downswing.

Bankroll on sat = 541$
Sunday = 512$
Earlier today = 470$
Now = 530ish.... and finally reached silverstar status after a few weeks of mostly casual playing
05-27-2008 , 12:14 AM
Wow this has been three days of hell. The variance is just killing me. Twice now Ive sat down at a table and the very first hand hit a set...good right. But then the donk puts me all in...its always the biggest stack, and they never have anything. Runner runner and I lose. Ah.... sometimes this game can drive you to killl...lol. well maybe a break is in order at least for the rest of the day.
05-27-2008 , 01:09 AM
Cruiser that is sooooo awesome!! Congrats!!

Ok- so I just wound down after playing a little today- so here's the updates. Included are pt stats so you can see what a disgusting weak-tight game I've played to get here (ok, i'm terrified to even try putting anyone on a hand in 2nL so after the flop I pretty much give up).

That being said, I know the stats suck.

Current Balance Total: 567 (includes T$ winnings from those 210fpps)

I also didn't remove the beginners game donking I did earlier today- so that's why there's some .02/.04 limit poker donations- and about 9 dollars of donktastik losses in 2nl on the books.

Mostly I've been playing FR multitabling- starting with 12 tables and dropping them as they die. I think my overall average is about 7 tables. This is the first month I've really tried to tackle, and managed to play more than 4 successfully.

Ok-- graphs.

Each time I pushed, I did so with position, and with less than 8BBs, but equally I had a stack that I could have coasted into the money with in at least 6 of my games. I therefore blame myself.

Ultimately, I only cashed in 1 game - 6th place, and I'm now back to the $6 I started the day with. Wasted a couple of hours of my life though.

Anyway, I tried to note down my finishing hands for as many games as I could

KQ <AK (flop K high and I bet, he pushed. Dunno why but I was sure he was drawing so I called. Was v.bad so early on)
AA < KQ (early on Q high flop - he hit)
KK < AA (pre-flop, but he had re-raised which I should have realised = AA)
27 < Q7 (my BB, flop was 7s7d10s, I bet, he pushed, I called)
A9 < KJ (push from sb with roughly 8xbb)
K9 < Q7 (push from sb with roughly 6xbb)
J8 < KQ (I was sb, cards soooted so I limped. 8Qx flop - I pushed - bad play)
A5 < AQ (flop A56, I puish, he calls, turn 10, river 10, meh)
AK < AQ (I push pre and was called by his AQ and bbs 95. Flop KQx, turn x, river Q, meh)

Can't remember the other finishing hand, but probably badly played
KQ <AK (flop K high and I bet, he pushed. Dunno why but I was sure he was drawing so I called. Was v.bad so early on)

What was the action? I avoid KQ a lot, unless I figure to be ahead of the guy's range, or it's suited and I'm getting good odds.
AA < KQ (early on Q high flop - he hit)

Variance sucks like a mofo.

KK < AA (pre-flop, but he had re-raised which I should have realised = AA)
Everybody repeat after me. I WILL NOT EVER FOLD KK PREFLOP. There, everyone's a better player now if you follow that. I swear only 25% of the time I've gotten in PF and thought I had KK vs. AA, it's been AA. The rest of the time, AK, QQ, JJ, AQ, something ******ed.

27 < Q7 (my BB, flop was 7s7d10s, I bet, he pushed, I called)
A9 < KJ (push from sb with roughly 8xbb)
K9 < Q7 (push from sb with roughly 6xbb)
Pretty standard plays, imo. Coolers suck.

J8 < KQ (I was sb, cards soooted so I limped. 8Qx flop - I pushed - bad play)
Did it fold to you? Push or fold. Don't limp. Pushing postflop if you're not push/folding preflop is ugly on that flop. Too coordinated, too many hands fit that range.

A5 < AQ (flop A56, I puish, he calls, turn 10, river 10, meh)
Preflop action? If you're not pushing in the cutoff or later with A5, fold it. You can call a raise if it's suited, you're in position, and getting good odds and are deep enough to have implied odds. Otherwise, don't call with it.

AK < AQ (I push pre and was called by his AQ and bbs 95. Flop KQx, turn x, river Q, meh)
Stop getting coolered man!

It looks like a lot of people are playing the 45's to build BR's. I think they're an excellent way to do it. You just have to be rolled enough to survive the suckouts and not play scared.

- Doubling up early on isn't important. I've had a huge stack early many times, but once the blinds hit, it doesn't mean a thing.

- Search the forums for pushbot charts. Once you're down to 15BB, you need to push any hand you're playing.

- Play to win, not just making the cash. The first couple payout spots suck bad. 2x, 3x the BI. Go for 1st, and be happy hitting 2-3. So when it's getting down to the final table, you need to be aggressive. Even if you're in 1st and have a good stack, once the blinds start going up and you're shorthanded, your stack will dwindle. Keep building it. Watch how the table plays, if they play really timid, push a lot.

I wish I had a PXF sub, I'd host my win from last week as an example of that. I overcame a 7:1 chip deficit headsup by being aggressive and won, in 10 hands.

On a final note, Taco Bell Fruitistas are amazing. Get one today.

So who won this weekend. I had a terrible run on both Friday and Sat. But made it back on sunday and am only down $15 for the weekend.

I did send this email to PStars support midway through saturday hoping to get a humerous reply so it would make me laugh and lift my spirits. I got a serious "we dont have a doomswitch reply." I was disapointed. BTW both hands had me with an over pair to both hole cards of villian and villian went runner runner to hit trips and win.

...

Help I know there is no such thing as a doom switch; but if there was would it be advisable to send $0.02 to KidPoker at you site? Would this help activate a boomswitch? I am running like a quadrapelegic midget today. To add to it Poker Tracker is screwed up and not importing my hands.

Do you recomend sending $0.02 to kidpoker? Ive heard this is 1 way to activate a boomswitch.

Is there anything else to do? I've even tried standing on one foot and clucking like a chicken because I heard this activates the boomswitch.

Please help me with a way to activate this before I break another mouse.

Here are the 2 hands that broke my spirits tonight if you care if not that is fine too. In the second hand xxxxx is a complete idiot. He has been winning a lot of hands like this but maybe he is better at the 1 footed chicken dance.
