Thriving for NL1000 by the End of 2007

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Days like these...

... MAKE ME WANNA SQUIRM IN JOY!! Yeah, I had a solid session of a bit less than 1000 hands, giving me the net of around $200 at NL50. Pretty sweet. That means around 30 PTBB/100. I had to quit for food though. That's one thing that can decrease the winrate towards the end of the session, keeping good nutrition rates is as important as being awake. I decided to call it a session for today - yesterday was somewhat suckier since although I was up $120 or so at best, I ended up misplaying a hand horribly for two buy-ins, had some bad luck besides that, but eventually grinded to +$9. Actually the line between being -$50 and +$9 was only like 100 hands so I didn't go on a roaring rampage to "win it back" unlike I would've in the ages past. Either ways, I was going to quit soon after that and it's neat to make a profit, even if it's close to break even.

Today really kicked off well. I hit a lot of hands, played sehr gut, made few good calls and few good laydowns. I also played $4.4 MTT, where I did one stupid stupid laydown, laying down TT on QQ9 board to CR. I thought about it for a while and somehow came to the conclusion that he might have the Q. After folding, he ofc showed A9s. Anyway, I managed to cash in that one, eventually dying to runner runner straight, and taking home $8.64 or so. Yay. I plan on playing the LiquidPoker.net tournament and then calling it a day. I'm also soon done with the Stars $100 bonus from playing the sunday $1M guaranteed. Then tharr be bonuswhoring.

I can already taste the NL100 in my grasp! Soooon... Real soooon...

Here are a few neat hands from today:
Guy making moves. And I was quite certain he was making one here. When he called, I obviously thought this was a misstep, but by seeing what he held on the river made me feel very comfortable about my play.
Shipping it! On the river I quite quickly got the impression that it's either split or a lower straight. Although I didn't notice he did in fact flop it and not river it. Well slowplayed by him. Nice pot! ^^
One of the best feelings in poker! The board did come down ugly and I was quite happy for it to be a split since there aren't many hands I beat on that board! :D
Prestopush, holla! I actually expected to see AA here, tried to be tricky on the turn, but he didn't bite. So river I figured he has either AA, AK, maybe a T, KT at best (TT would be unfortunate). Most of these hands he'd probably call a push with, especially played like that. I think my pattern represents hand such as QQ pretty well and river looks like a bluff.

That's it for today folks! Should I make a good cash in LP.net, I might write another post about it. But knowing my average luck in those (not including the back to back wins ;D), I will be out quite early.

Cheers! <3
