Alexos' Adventures in Donkland

More ownage ...2k hands left to complete operation. I don't even feel like moving up to 5/10 but I'll have to I'm kinda likin it.

Todays sesh:

ffs how do you win showdowns on Interpoker?

I was sure the rakeback deal was nullified by taking 10% off of your typical W$@SD :

your went to SD is pretty high genitruc.. is it always around 27%? thats pretty high! If you lower that, your won at SD will go up I'm sure.

the went to showdown is skewed a bit because a lot of my hands are HU or 3-handed since I usually just start new tables rather than waitlist when I'm not grinding during primetime

but enough hijacking

gogo alexos 10-20

So I sit in today at 1/2 pounds table and see someone with the same name. WTF. Apparently different Crypto sites allow u to choose the same name, so u can play with another YOU as long as he's playing on another site. Weird. So I challenge this guy HU FOR SCREEN NAMES and eventually won it. Not sure if he'll be coming back.




Edit: PT messed up because of this and is giving me mad errors all over the place. I'm probably 1k short in hands but wtv, I reached my goal of 5ptbb so I'll move up to 5/10 tomorrow. I'll post the total stats later. Peace

hahaha.. did you guys actually end up playing HU for screen names?

Thats awesome! What did you guys play? What would you have done if you lost?? lol

loser insta changes SN to transGHEY

you should challenge whoever has the name transam, because thats obv what you were going for

Guys stop making fun of my name it's not nice. Besides, you're all jealous, must be really balla to have people steal ur screen names.

Ok so i'm done with 2/5 for a bit now. Few hands missing cuz of the sn fiasco but wtv, here are the stats.



So I'm all pumped and jump into 5/10 and get totallly crushed lol. As usual a mix of bad play and disgusting coolers

Some are horrible, others are standard, please comment.

****HAND ENDS****



I need a huge comeback.

lol we have way too many huge hands together I'm concluding!

1) I think you should just check through with QJ.. you have soooome SD value. My read was that you'd never flat call this drawy flop fourway with a set or two pair, so your range was mostly weak in my mind. This is actually the top of the range I would have expected.. compared to missed draws etc

2) standard

3) What do you think he has here? If he'll call a midpair hand then shove is good I think. It's only like half pot either way

4) This river is pretty gross and he can def have JT/flush. Its only half pot though so I make crying call.. hopefully he has some worse two pair 89, 79s or something

5) I like how you played this. Might as well keep ppl in if they are drawing dead to a flush. Definitely a cooler hand, since nobody was putting me on AT here I'm pretty sure after preflop

Gross few sessions. Hopefully you make a nice comeback! GL GL

I forgot to tell you but someone has the SN alexos444 at stars. Is this a common name or something or just another case of namestealing ?

I'll tell u this again Kmind, STACK HIM AT WILL. No more name stealing dammit!

Mini operation ended, -9 BI followed by +7 BI at 5/10.. There arn't enough tables to play 5/10 exclusively, so back to 2/5 through 10/20 mode..

+13k this month from poker, disappointing considering the # of hands I put in, but I've been running kinda bad, esp in deep pots.

Bleh I'm taking a break from operation thread, its going nowhere!

Hi Alexos. We miss you.

Love,
(i)Poker tables

bump

I want to see some updates and sick bluffs giving villains like 8:1 on the river and them folding.

ya like that hand on 2p2 where the guy has JJ overpair and ppl are like "OMG vs TRANS4M EZ FOLD"

damnit!!!! well at least i used that image well on my 8:1 bluff

lol Trans4m is such a nit ..

.. except versus me, who he goes buckwild 5-bet bluffing QTo preflop against.

cmon that was standard!!!

I ordered a new chair on the weekend and it just got here today. I have mixed feelings about it ,maybe i'm just not comfortable with it yet, but i almost regret not getting the Humanscale freedom... albeit its a little more expensive than this one.. o well

maybe i can afford it after my 6.3k day yesterday

Alexos, a small question.
Isn't there enough traffic to play 5/10 (at least in different sites)?

Yeah I was just talking about crypto specifically, where there are only enough 5/10 tables during prime time.

Other sites like PS/FT/Party certainly have enough tables at any time of the day i think.

And playing at more than 1 site at once usually tilts me so I avoid it and just play 2/5 or whatever is available.

I am now addicted to HU SNG's... that is all

edit: 5/5 on 114$ turbos, I should move up cuz ppl are terrible. Shoutout to Raptor for teaching me to limp the button with 90% of hands early, and then owning their soul postflop. Peace

nice update

ya wtf looks like OP has taken his game to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!

btw stop c-minraising the nuts vs me HU when I playing 326183 tables k thx

what, when?? last hand we played was the K spiking on the river for 300bb

maybe it was my impersonator that c/minraises the nuts vs u?
Anyways I'm getting a name change this week and i'll just own ur soul anonymously haha

omg WTF

maaaaaaaan some guy with your SN sat HU with me when I was playing 10 tables. I assumed it was you and played him for a while. He twice flopped sets vs my top pair turned into trips on the turn in about 10 mins.

i TOTALLY thought it was you and stacked off like an idiot FUFKFKFKFKFKFKF

so lame; change that fkin name so I can know it's you I'm stacking!

Tomorrow this thread will be reborn, and July will be my best month ever, imo.

Best month ever? What was your previous record, breakeven? Good luck on your first positive month sir!

I'm gonna follow in your footsteps. I'm forgetting this disaster first portion of June... bring on July.. month of ownage!

Wanna make a bet??

Are you sure u wanna make a bet hahahah
1knl only bet seems awesome though...

anddd i lied, new operation (unless me and grif make a bet) begins tomorrow!!!!!and yes Kmizzle my goal is to breakeven at 5-10 this month, seems pretty unrealistic right? also get on msn u donk, i dont have aim on my desktop

Looking forward to the new thread. I think I will re read this one time before it gets shoved to the basement

ok we can do a 1k/500 pounds bet? But your stupid HEM probably screws up pounds results or some nonsense. Do you wanna do winrate or what?

I think you'll always get in tons more hands than me, so not sure total winnings is fair?..

Seriously dude, you on msn strike?

HALLO,

Alexos and Griffeypropbetfish have a new bet this month. Basically play whatever stakes and one with most winnings wins 1000$. This has to be done in no more than 40k hands.

In addition to that, I also have a personal goal of winning 50k$ this month. If I'm not really close by like July20th I'll start playing a little 10/20 and maybe higher if the games are good. It's time for me to gamble a little more and put my BR to work after all these months of grinding the same friggin limits. I'll also do my best to post as many interesting hands as possible in this thread. Wish me luck!

I'll still mix in some 2/5 probably, cause there aren't always enough 5/10's going.

Will I see you there??

congrats on making 2/5 your reg game! I haven't seen you there yet...

Bad start to the month! I played three sessions today and down 6k overall. I played some 10/20 yesterday because the games were good but I was really tired so maybe I shouldnt have played, oh well. Here are some interesting hands:

1) This guy started out playing really loose but ended up being more on the passive side towards the end of the sesh. Meh!

I will spare you the other hands, 2 outers, Kings vs Aces, Queens vs Kings, coinflips, etc...

Hand 2)

I'm not really sure about this hand with BlAUU. I think I almost prefer c/c, c/c to b/c turn here. c/bomb turn even is possible.


Hand 5)

What a donk, rivering two pair! Stupid interpoker could have at least let you made a one pair hero call :P

Another bad day at the tables... I think I'm playing alright just losing alot of coinflips and also a lot of coolers and terrible beats. I guess I'll slow down on the number tables for a bit but keep playing 5/10 and 10/20 if the games are good. Down 12k already this month, uh oh!

first hand is so gross

grrosss dude.... yah the set of Q's is brutal.. but mostly/definitely all standard.

I didn't play today.. might play a bit tomorrow we'll see.

I hope my downward death spiral isn't contagious and being passed on to you.. don't wanna wish that upon anyone!

You'll break out of it.. those are all cooler/suckout central.

Most of these hands look good Alexos, gl!

I am so mad at myself right pokerwise... So yesterday I start a session, as usual I add some 10/20 tables and play a great taggish non-spewy game for once, im up like 2-3k which is awesome (winning day yay?) then these two hands happen (5/10 pounds tables).

1) Again I was playing taggish/nittish at this table and villain knows that. I flatted the flop since I wanted him to try and barrel me off 88-99 or something cuz im playing higher than usual. Obviously first time i try something other than standard i get fucked.

2) This is the hand right after. Villain is a nit postflop, im not being results oriented or anything i just sincerely believe hes not raising that flop with anything other than A9 or 99. Again pretty horrible tilt stackoff.

k small recovery today, up like 6k while still managing to run below EV somehow.. ...so only down 13k this month, grrrrrreat!!!!

maybe ill post some hands tmr, gn!

ftr running bad on inter is the theme of July

I spoke too soon!!!! Also I was looking at this HEM EV graph for July but not really sure what stuff means. I guess I run like 11k below equity or what? I guess that doesnt include coolers too...

Going to see an Akon/Wyclef/Sean Paul concert tonight so that's gonna be cool. Let's see if I can get even for today by then...

I'm forcing myself to write this blog entry, just finished a long night session where I played every mid-high stakes table running on crypto and 1 guy HU at 2/5. I got sucked out on a few times then made a couple big mistakes and decided to call it a night before going busto. This last week has been a long grind, I was down 23k after the first week of July but grinded that to only being down 5k before this sesh. Lol at my 50k goal for the month, but there is still hope!

I was gonna post some hands but this stupid weaktight converter aint working, ill try it again tomorrow...

Good night!

DOOD, FOCUS


U GOT GURL? GO F&^% TEH SHIT OUT OV HER LIEK THAR IZ NO 2MORROW. AS LOTZ DA TIEMS AS IT TAKEZ 4 U 2 CLEAR UR HEAD (UPON REREADIN DIS, OMG WTF HOOJ PUN, BUT ITZ UNINTENSHUNAL SMILE ).

translation:

Basically means you play goot but run baaaad.

Thanks for the nice words peepz!

Gotta make this short, but I'm now even for the month. 50k in 13 days is do-able imo!

Laters!

You have to make this difficult for me don't you!? Alright alright.. bring it!

(sigh.. not playing all weekend.. cottage weekend will be my demise imo)

just got back to town after 3 day bonanza in eastern Peru

the 5k package is mine, imo

btw good job getting unstucko alex

Geni - the fight for the 5k packages will be cutthroat! But we can both win imo.

Good sesh today, ran a 10BI stack at 500nl but spewed a bit at my 10/20 tables and ended the sesh up like 4k. So I'm up for the month now weee..

Here's a nice hand, this guy's been 3betting me non-stop, I knew his range was wide here so instead of calling the 3bet like I'd prolly do against a nit to crack his QQ+, I decided to 4bet and either: 1) take it down pre 2) take it down on the flop 3) take it down on the turn 4) flop huge

Sick hand nigga. Congrats on the day!

wow can t lie

his play is pretty sick considering history

true, but again considering history I'm not folding much there (read: station), so idk?

but how often do you have a calling hand and look at how much equity he has assuming you are folding AK AQ and calling with TT-KK

I'm back in bizness baby!! Yesterday was a really weird day, and the first day in a while since i really tilted. I didn't necessarily make that many bad plays but I just felt so tilty inside, weird.. I managed to drop 4k or something then stopped.

Today, on the other hand, was perfect. Yea I got set over setted, and yea I got 2 outered a few times, but damn did I still run good and played better!!! I cleared 13k today, a record for me, and I didnt even have to play above 5/10!

That said, after being down around 25k maybe even more at the start of the month, I'm now up about 30k on the month, with a week ahead of me to accomplish my 50k goal, who woulda thought!

I feel like a really got a better grasp of 3bet pots lately, and i might share some thoughts on my next bloggings (sp? obv wrong) Also me or griffey might do a vid for FTR for our next prop bet. That'll allow u guys to analyze our donkish lines, and maybe learn a thing or two (maybe?) and laugh at my accent.

There is a poker god.

Is this the same poker god that's owning me with losing 90/10's repeatedly, especially when I move up to 10/20 for a bit today?

I need a new poker god!

Congrats on the 30k month so far, siiick man, that's awesome!

I concede defeat in this bet, given that I'm still playing bad/running bad and nowhere near up 30k.. but we'll see if i can make some kind of run to end the month. Maybe if you stop having 13k days I can catch up!

way to go guys

2 much drama in my life right now to do anything except survive... forget the cruise imo

great to hear you are owning alex

Ewwwww at you or griff making a video. And by ewwwww, I mean please both make one.

Congrats about your month! Can't wait to see a graph. Plz share your 3bet secrets.

So im a failure apparently, didnt get to accomplish an AF > 4 over last 5k hands as per our bet. LOL im such a passive fish. Anyways, at least I won monies and ran hugely over EV for once. I guess I'll be making a vid as punishment, lol!

YESSSS... I finally win a prop bet! (even though there's no money involved.. figures!)

Mannn.. AF of only 3.6 while you're ACTIVELY trying to have a high AF!

I guess you're too busy c/c bluffy donks like me?

gg winning money though, I guess its worth it.

I guess pocketing almost $7k over 5k hands whilst losing a bet helps soothe the pain .

I'm with Casey though, you should both do vids .

wow you are so bad wtf
