raising 7 of 9

welcome back

final push tonight, last session and all. pretty much got a lock on the bet .. as long as I stay away from the $50 tarbs, lol.
Just a quick graph showing the equity of playing with lunatics. The loon was open raising at least seven hands per orbit and then barrelling every street. It was a sight to behold.
One word of warning. Don't get sucked in to playing like them. One player did exactly this and went from a 5-buy-in stack to zero, reloading twice !

I played one hand ....

Thats right, out of 44 hands, I played one.

almost done

welcome back

so week 4 done, only a few days to go. This has been a long month.

Well, only two sessions to go. Lets hope I can hold it together !

Starting with $310, a big fat zero vpp's and a very, very heavy bronze star.

Currently $380, a not big fat 370 vpp's and a very, very heavy bronze star.

final furlong, leading by a length

welcome back

EDIT post title should perhaps be
"stop taking shots (multiple table shots) at levels you are not rolled for, you fucking twat, especially when you have a bet on" ....
sigh, whats a degen to do.

All I can say is good riddance week three. Running my top full house into quads was a real "oh fuck" moment and then running nut low and a straight into a nut low and a higher straight was an "oh ffs" moment. Wouldn't it be nice if someone invented a piece of software which popped up the simple message "unable to hit a cow on the arse with a cricket bat, quit NOW" , sigh.
I got out the hole by hitting nut low and two pair v crappy low and the obligatory aces and then I was nearly, oh so nearly in the major black when, in a 5-handed showdown I had the nut flush and second nut low (nut low got counterfeited, natch), whee .. err not quite, one villain had the nut low, doh ! It was an $80 pot, doh !
Quite an interesting hand actually. Nut flush v second nut flush v nut straight v second nut straight v two pair (?) and nut low v second nut low .... try figuring all that out on the river when you're the small blind !

sigh, here is the pretty picture

some would say "pesky pictures"

welcome back

Reckon there will be one or two peeps not overly impressed with this picture :) It has to be said tho, that I'm posting this midway thru week 3 .. spoiler : its so not pretty this week, meh. As someone else said, it's the long game that counts. Which is obvioulsy true but still, its uber frustrating in the short term, bah humbug.

week in pictures

welcome back

First week in the books. Overall I'm quite happy with the way I've been playing. As you can see, the 'roll is heading in, generally, the right direction.
Not too impressed by my wee foray into fifty50 land but hey ho. Also not overly impressed with my volume. It could be so much better. Something to ponder over the coming weekend since that's the times when my volume is shockingly bad.

I've also noticed that the accrual of VPP's at microstakes is virtually non-existant. At my current rate I'd need to play ten times the amount of hands played to get to the next level. Chances of that happening ? Thought not.

Starting with $310, a big fat zero vpp's and a very, very heavy bronze star.

Currently $303, a not big fat 83 vpp's and a very, very heavy bronze star.

cough cough , splutter

welcome back

day 3 trip report. as you can see day 1 and 2 were ugh. finally started to play some sort of reasonable poker today. volume is still pretty pathetic, so still work to be done.

(don't worry bitch , I'm still in mu after a stoopid foray into the fifty50's, meh)

pleasant dreams

game on, I guess

welcome back

First of the month so, I guess, game on.

Not entirely convinced I'm going down the correct road. I hope thats just due to the change. Will be degening about in micro cash, see how things go. Dont want to blow up on day 1 lol.

I wonder if "bob" can do this ....

Anything exciting happens and I'll be sure to let you know, lol. btw you should read the previous posts' comments, second one's a classic.
