Mmmm, gotta love drunken poker! Isn't that bad actually. Hangover poker is a big no no on the other hand.

MilfGrinder: Mmmm, gotta love drunken poker! Isn't that bad actually. Hangover poker is a big no no on the other hand.

Drink gives you an extra set of balls, where as hangovers, I just don't seem to care. So I agree....but I'm still going to stop playing drunk!!

Quick Update

I've not been running or playing very well. Short stacks and AQ were my enemy today! Only 1.5 buy down but i got €10 bonus so its a 0.5 euro loss. I'm going to review every hand I played and not just the marked ones!

I made a few bluffs which I thought were fine, but I got called. I'll try find them!

With the SPR...is it ok to go broke here? I feel I over played it as Not much I beat calls.

On to tomorrow, where I'll hopefully improve on these hands!!

As Isildur1 said "i play drunk a lot but i never play when hungover...that is just stupid"

BarraBod:

Pwll: Add another rule in: 'Don't play drunk.' Difficult for an Islander I know!

You seem to be going nicely, it will be good to see you beating nl20 very soon - if you stay sober of course. :P

The problem last night was I drank more than I planned to. I sat down, open the tables and open a can and before I know it, I'm calling a shove OTT with second pair because "he definitely has a flush draw". I hope that's the lesson learnt!!

Hah I can relate to that. 'He definitely has a flush draw' ... shows you the nuts... oh yeah that kinda made sense too. Sometimes the balls grow a bit too big in that state.

I'm becoming a bigger nit every day! I started off the day making terrible calls, I knew I should have folded but called anyway. I had a break and when i got back I was folding hands like:

AA < ATs
QQ < AA
KK < AA
KK < 66
JJ < 55
JJ < TT

Not my day to sat the least. I don't mind losing the odds one here and there, but not in a session.

Looks like 20NL is a while away, I was worried I would hit a downswing like this, I'm just glad it happened before moving up.

The KK hand where I lost 170bb to 66, I feel was my own fault. I over played the hand:

These 2 hands could have been avoided. The other hands were just variance and I know I'll make money form them eventually! Its just not fun to see a drop of 12 buy ins in a few days. I'm still in profit this 19k hands and I'll do my 10K hand update tomorrow. It will hopefully look better tomorrow night!

I think I'll stop being a little bitch and get back on the tables, as I've calmed down a bit now

I'll leave you with my favourite hand of the day:

Seems like 888 plays a lot like Unibet! What on earth is going on in all these hands lol.

Well at least you know where you made the mistakes and now you just gotta learn from them and move on.

I see these hands everyday lol Yeah I don't mind the variance ones, its when I play bad that gets me! I'm playing a folding game today, as it never hurts at these limits!

Haven't played at all in the past few days as I had the baby's christening, which was a couple of days of drinking, and I was too hungover to play after that. Been travelling all day today so Play will start again tomorrow. I'll just update with my 10K update.

The second part of my 10K hands didn't quite go to plan. I could have saved a bit of money not making stupid calls on the river, but I'll hopefully learn from it and not just tilt click!

Quite a drop, but I've still got my head above the water, plus about $40 in bonuses which is good!

My overall graph from 888:

Attached Image

I'm aiming to hit 30K hands before I go back to work. I'm also going to try tether my phone to my laptop so I can play while in port. I haven't been playing much on Bwin but I will play at least another 2K there on the regular tables.

My next 10K graph better look like an upside down version of the last one!!

GL All!!

Winning is winning and 17k hands aint no walk in the park so yeh keep the head up and crush those next 10k hands.

Winrate is positive so it's all good.

The thing I find about folding hands - or at least playing hands I know I should fold - is discipline discipline discipline. I'm not saying this next bit applies to you but generally these days, people seem concerned about being labelled a nit, but it takes all kinds. I find if I play too laggy I just spew because it's fun to do and I lose focus. Playing laggy requires even ore discipline I think.

Anyway, you seem to be doing nicely without my ramblings, I just thought I'd pop in and say hi.

Have fun.

Hello

The problem is when villain does something weird which doesn't make sense, I feel i have to call with my pair, but he usually has the nuts. There was a hand where it check down, I hit my ace OTT but check it to the river, the flush hit the river and villain jammed. I felt he wouldn't have passively played his flush draw so I called and he shows a flopped 2 pair lol a few times its went to the river and villain jams and i call as it didn't make sense. I'm going to start folding without the nuts, I don't care if they are "out playing" me.

But its true what you said and its the ego which doesn't like being out played. DISCIPLINE!!

Jon-PokerVIP: Winning is winning and 17k hands aint no walk in the park so yeh keep the head up and crush those next 10k hands.

I feel I'll be back on track soon. I want to be beating 10NL By 5bb/100 before taking a shot at 20NL. If I stay disciplined this will happen!

I played 350 hands today after a long break....this wasn't what I was wanting

Once again I couldn't fold, even after a few hours of saying it

I feel this was ok, as he could be betting with 2 pair or worse sets. I was of course worried about the BD flush and straight which get there OTR.

The GF has went out for a walk with the baby and to see her friends so I was looking forward to playing all day....Not so much anymore

1010 hand: Yeh we should probably just be flatting that river although it is close. Just not enough worse calls us and i don't think much better folds.

KK; For that sizing it feels like value but in game getting that price once the draw misses i can understand the call.

AA: Played it perfect

88: Looks fine

As long as none of them were terribly wrong.

I have a new good luck mascot...if my luck doesn't change then he's getting sacked

Got to start them when they're young

He'll probably play better than me right now.

He can play with mew tomorrow also!

Decided to start playing Bwin in the evenings as the bonuses are a lot better. The play is pretty weak also, not as bad as 888 but still good. I started to the run good again which is always good! Only playing regular tables as I can't use a HUD on fast forward tables while everyone else can...which isn't fair

This is the kind of couple of days i've been looking for

Attached Image

I had a few hands to post - me playing bad, villain spazzing out and the jammy bastard of the day hand - but WeakTight hans't been my friend the past could of days.

This run good better keep going for the next 10K hands

I would love to be at 20NL for the next time I'm off, I have a lot of hands to study while away...but i still have a few days until then to grind!!

GL all!

Looks like the run good is continuing on Bwin.....I'm going to play there until the run bad starts, then I'll move back to 888 as this is my new trick in dodging variance (I know this doesn't make sense and you can't dodge variance, before someone starts

)

My 13 BI downswing on 888 doesn't feel so bad now I'm on a 13 buy upswing on Bwin. I just hope when I start losing flips, I then don't start making stupid calls, like last time. I left the ego at the door today and just let go of hands,...except maybe once

This is one of those hands...if the JT was suited I would have no problems calling, as villains had a 3b of 20 over 70 hands. I decided to call. Too loose I say. I do love villains spaz tho

I can't find any of my favourite hands of the day, and there was no jammy b**tard of the day

SO I'll leave it at that. 2 more days of playing left so I;ll hopefully keep the winning up.
Volume will be low as I'm only playing 4 tables of regular, which is definitely helping the win rate also.

I had an 80/10 whale at my table earlier call flop and turn with king high on any board! he then won a 400BB pot and left

I felt like the butler in The Monty Python
