End of February Report!!!

Since my last post I've played about 4 seshs. The haven't been really productive except the one from yesterday... I don't know what it is but some days you just run a lot worse than others. Nothing goes right, you lose all the races and you definitely go on life tilt!!! :D :D :D

Thats what happend to me a couple days ago, I was running so cold on cake and stars it was gross. I told myself I wouldn't play on stars anymore but since i helped a buddy make a sick cash he shipped me $50 on stars cuz he loves me obvobvobv... so i might as well stars adding my stars BR to the end on my posts to see how long it takes me to lose it!!! He's been playing the $6 45 man turbos and recently has been quite profitable at them, so play pretty tight at the beginning and super aggro at the end. I went as high at 110$ then down to 30, now i'm at 95...

As for good ol CAKE.

A couple days ago I had a beast of a session on Cake. Right away I went down a buy in, then 30 mins later lost another one, then this stupid whore over played a FLUSH DRAW and i some how survived the turn and riv, KK > 97SOOOOOOOOOTED... Then 20 mins later i lost another buy in, blah blah blah.................... Ex of how good i was running that day:

I got 77 in a HU,
flop 875
Tard bets, I re-pop, Tard calls
turn 8, (boat much?)
we go all in, Tard shows 98
riv........9!!!!!! of course!!!! HEY HEY YA DON'T SAY!!!
better boat for the win!!!

I had a couple bad seshs in a row until yesterday... MBN when you jump into the riv a huge favorite and win the pot... there wasn't any crazy pots, just little ones here and there, my sesh lasted about 4 hours and 3 tables i played about 800 hands, i got another $10 from the bonus account within the 1st hour of my sesh... I ended up taking 4 buyins on top on that so yesterday was a mini slump killer...

FGDSFHBCVBFGJFGN FGHJDN SDZRFGTSGJ?!?!!!?!?!??!?!?!???!?!?!?

HAHAAHAH just kidding, not angry at all... didnt play today but yesterday was super productive dont really remember any juicy stuff, i played for about 3 hours and made a couple buyins. I emailed support and asked why i'm only getting low Gold Cards. I asked them if I needed to go into bigger stakes to get higher cards. Their response was complete B.S . They told me the cards are rewarded though a "Random Shuffle Generator"...hahahahahhahahaha riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... I started talking to to someone at one of my tables and he got a pretty good laugh out of it too. So the same person i spoke to got a gold card 10 mins after but it was hidden from the table...

So I said, hey dude , lemme guess 2 of clubs??? He instantly replied, holy crap you're right, how did you know??? I replied, Random shuffle MY ASS, LOLOL (I got like 5 of those 2 of clubs, lol)

1 hand i remember, so weird... OBV fish

i re-pop with AA to about 1.2 on the SB

i bet 1.30$ into a $17 pot and he folds

6 buy-ins for 6 in a row... SHIP... IT... SON...

That's right folks, 6 in a row, on my way to hitting my first goal 1k!!!!!!!!! Many people with this BR probably would have moved up levels by now but i said i wanted to hit 1k b4 moving up and i'm not gonna lie, its a freakin grind and a half!!!

I got notes on so many people playing 10nl 6 max it's incredible, and they're obviously all productive notes (LOL) ok, some actually say "KILL THIS BITCH NEXT TIME/TAKE ALL HIS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"

I rived this dude in a pot and he got super pissed, wasnt my fault though, he flopped top pair, min bet EVERY street, and i got a runner runner flush, obv

Then after a limper i got QQ, raise to 5oc and he shoves for $9
I snap it (just for him)
he shows A9o,
gg sir
ship the buy in...

It's 3am and i'm freakin tired, i don't know what to write about anymore :( :( :(

Ridin on the heater train!!!

Word of the day: Donating.

Ex: Thank you sir for donating $$$$$$$$ to my Bankroll.

I know all my seshes arent going to turn out positive but its fun while its lasting!!! I was all over the place yesterday playing:

2 $10nl cash seshs (one in the afternoon, one at night)
$10 pot limit Omaha H/L 6 max (i think its called PLO8)
$3 6 max PLO8 SNG
$6 bounty 30 man Sng

My first 10nl sesh went well, i played for about 1 1/2 hours, made $17

Then I played the PLO8 sng, won that for 8.70

It was like déja vu in the bounty sit and go since i scored a double KO, then went off to bubble the FT, obv, lol

In the PLO8 cash table i made $8 in 30 mins thanks to a couple donations... I guess they didnt really know what they were doing...

In my last sesh of the night (10nl) I decided to 4 table, wasn't the initial plan, but i had won a buy-in right away 3 tabling to i figured i'd try it out... Nothing really crazy happened except this guy shoved 6$ pre and i decided to call with JJ, he had 88, WP 88... i was playing a little aggressive so when i actually had hand people decided to donate... :D :D :D

3 in a row??? why not...

We're on a roll!!! I really don't know what i'm doing differently (well...kinda), maybe its not running KK into AA... Seems like I haven't been set up in a bit (knock on wood)... Once again some solid play and really big holds have come my way!!! Holds like such:

I raise pre with AKs,
2 callers,
Kxx flop,
I c-bet,
get INSTA INSTA INSTA min-re-raised (so insta!!!)
i shove
he snaps with the good ol K5offer...
so no 5 obv on the turn and riv and i win a really nice pot!!!

Still running like poop in those 1$ Sng's... Don't really know why, I guess the play is just way to shit for a much higher caliber player like myself (hahaahhaaahahahhahaahhaahahhaaha)

These last 3 seshs have been 3 tabling 10NL which was the initial plan. I said I wanted stop 10NL but a friend told me if you cant beat 10nl whats the point of going up a level which is true.. obvobvobv

So what did I change???

Well, first off whenever I start a sesh and the "BOT" I mean Celeron266 is playing, I just sit to his left!!! Just get position on him, lol, really simple... The way I wont get into any pots with him, unless I get AA UTG... :D :D :D



Secondly, follow the micro commandments!!! They're golden.

I'm averaging 1 gold card per sesh which is sick, but they're beginning to repeat :S


BountyBountyBounty

I looooooooooooooooooooove the cake bounty tourney structure!!! Wtv the buy-in is, 1/2 goes to the prize pool, and 1/2 goes as a bounty... so $6 entry, 3 goes to prize pool and 3 goes to each kill!!!

2 In a row??? Impossibibble...

Someone's been running good... who me??? naaaaaaaaaaaaaw...

Well after 1 million losing seshes and a BR drop from 620 to 470, things are finally turning for the better!!! :D :D :D No dirty suckouts, some solid play, thats about it... Not to mention hitting trips... like 10 times... Sometimes it wasnt even my fault... like 52o on the bb, 5 on flop, everyone checks, 5 on turn... not my fault!!!

I've also found a way to get more gold coins!!! Since that micro pace of getting gold coins takes forever, I've tried the gold coin SnG's!!!

buy in: 2 gold coins

1st: 9 coins
2nd: 6 coins
3rd: 3 coins

What a bunch of fuckin chopticles... I played 2:

3nd for 3 coins
2nd for 6 coins :D :D :D

New fancy Gold Coin total: 23

Finally, a breath of fresh air...

After about 10 losing sessions and a partial loss of my sanity playing micro cash games, i decided to buy into 3, 10NL micro cash games and cake finally gave me what i deserved and was extremely overdue for... A winning session!!! I was making all the correct moves, correct reads, correct folds, etc... i won about 7 races for really good pots, all in pre with a high PP i held everytime. i forgot to mention i started my sesh at 2 in the morning and these players were fuckin morons.

Ex: this guy, lets call him fucktard... So fucktard is sitting to my right with $25. Calling shoves with Ax soooted, talking way to much... typing in caps... just really annoying... So i look at KK... UTG raises to .30c, he re-raises to .85c, i raise to 2.50... UTG folds and fucktard shoves... i call, he shows QJ, nh sir... flops a Jack, but tonight is my night sucka!!! i obv hold :D :D :D

Gold cards: I'm not 100% sure what they do, all i know is that you gotta play ring games, if you get all 52 you win 52k (woot!!!) lol, so these last 3 days i've gotten 3!!! :D :D :D You can play in the daily gold card free roll, winner gets 1k, like 500-ish people join. Lets say the daily free roll asks for a 2 on diamonds, if you have a 2 of diams, you can use it to enter the tourney... But i have a feeling you wont have that 2 of diams anymore if you wanna go for the 52k...
GC's: 2h, 4d, 4c.

I've been getting gold chips at a super micro pace obv...
gold chip total: 18 (only 1142 away from a Ipod touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I've taken $80 out of the bonus account but have nothing really to show for it cuz of the last 2 weeks of dirty seshs... :( :( :(

Well needed End of day BR boost: $536.05

gotta switch something up...obvobvobv

End of Jan stats:
Hands dealt: 8608
Hands Raked: 2928


So someone wrote a post on Xfactor (for sure got it from somewhere else but who cares, lol) and i was like holy shit this is me down to the freakin last word... it was a post about beating the micro cash games so i'm now going to call them the 8 commandments :D :D :D


8 Commandments of micro cash:

Don’t try and ‘outplay’ your opponents
When you sit down at the table, you can happily think that you are the best player at that table. But being cocky in the micro limits will lead to disaster. If you try and take pots away from your opponent representing that 3 of a kind, and find that they call you down with bottom pair, you have got nobody to blame but yourself. Remember you are playing for money and not individual pots, only get your money in with the best of it.

Micro players love to chase
You are expecting your opponents in the micros to have a low understanding of the game. So if you bet twice the size of your pot and your opponent calls, you cant rule out that they will have a flush or straight draw, as they probably will not be familiar with pot odds. Remember that if your opponent has bad odds and calls to try and make his draw, that’s a good thing for you, because you will be winning more money in the long run. Just be sure to bet a larger amount into the pot when against multiple opponents to give each of them bad odds to call.

Buy in for the max, but don’t be afraid to lose it.
Due to the loose action at the micros, you can be expecting players to be going and calling all-ins with all sorts of made hands and draws. If you are buying into the table with the maximum, you are giving yourself the best opportunity to make the most money. Make sure that when you’re all in that you have then best of it, that way you are going to come out on top. Just remember its not often that you are a 100% favorite to win on the flop, so you cant win them all. If you’ve got the best of it, don’t be afraid to put your whole buy in on the line (if you have got the bankroll).

Don’t give your opponents tips
After you take a horrific bad beat from an equally bad player, the first thing you will want to do is criticize their play and tell them how bad it was. But wait, it was so bad that you should be over the moon that they called. If you are that far ahead of them with your top set and the flop, you want them to go all in with their gutshot straight. After all, you wouldn’t be complaining if you won that particular hand. Keep your advice to yourself and let the player make the same bad play next time.

Bet your good hands, fold your bad hands
It is pretty much basic poker strategy, but this is what works best at the micros. There is no need to be tricky with your play, if you make a good hand bet, and if you don’t, just fold. You may be afraid to scare players out of the pot, but most of the time they will call you with absolutely any hand.

Beware of raising
From my experience at the micro limits, players will not often raise pre flop unless they have a solid hand. The game plan for most of the players at the table is to see as many flops as possible, hit a huge hand, then bet and take as much money as they can from it. Your opponents won’t give a second thought to what you might hold; they are only playing to the strength of their own hand. This is why they call decent raises with bottom pair on the flop, because they’ve got a pair. So if you see a player raising pre flop and on every street then beware, they’ve probably got something good. Micro players are much happier calling than they are raising.

Don’t bluff
This is similar to the first point, as bluffing is a way of trying to outplay your opponent. Remember that a large number of players will be seeing the flop, and so a bluff of any kind is unlikely to work. Players will be calling with any half decent hand, so just put your money in when you do make a hand, and when you don’t, let it go.

Don’t be too concerned about your image
If you only play premium hands and bet with the best of it, don’t be too worried that the other players are cottoning on to your game. Players at the micros are far too concerned about the way they play opposed to the way that you play. So don’t feel pressured to ‘mix it up’ a little, as your opponents probably won’t even notice.

And since that i fucking suck at 10nl, since people call with such a dirty fucking range of hands i'm going up to 20nl. Maybe that's what I need, i'm so tired of losing TT-AA to 23s(including every garbage p.o.s hand in between these 2 shit hands)89s
