KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME

Yeah you heard me mother-fucker.

God my imageshack skills are so sick. Anyway this is today's first session (100th of NLs, fullest of rings), which is sort of the point of this thread, to post session-by-session stuff. Towards the end I won a bunch of 60/40 and 70/30 type stuff so I ran about 2.5 BIs or so ahead of AIEV.

I played about 2 and a half hours which was mostly 12-14 tabling. I ran about 15/13 with a 40% ats. I also spent like $95 on rake omfgwtf.

God I was looking through some really old threads and I used to be such a fucking beast. Somewhere along the line I got all lazy and shit but that shit is getting corrected immediately.

KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME

another failblog ldo. but ill make a poast so i can follow it. remember to work the redline for giraffes.

Second session is getting cut a little short. It was kind of weird because for probably the first half-hour 2/3 of my opens got 3-bet and (at least it seemed) mostly by single-digit VP$IP players. Pretty funny.

14/11 with a 38% attempt to steal with another $35 on rake like omg plz to pay phone bill pokerstars ty. I wish Stars would let you pay your bills with concierge or whatever but I think there's some sort of government rule there that doesn't allow them to.

OMGOMG Spoon is starting a blog? This blog is gonna own. GL with er'thang.

You should make sure this one exceeds 1 page, I be followin!

That session was kind of interesting. On most of my tables when I started I had people that I don't typically like on my left (looser, 3-bet a lot) but instead of leaving I just dropped a couple tables and tried to adjust. It went okay I guess. I ran KK into QQ on Qxx in a 4-bet pot then turned around and set over set the same guy when he was short-stacked.

I had another hand where I fired one barrel too many and got called down by second pair. Right after I bet it, like before I even saw what he had, I realized that my turn play was good and my river play made no sense. I don't feel like digging out the hand atm but basically I flopped bottom pair with a gutshot and backdoor flush draw and floated against a guy who c-bets a ton and c/f's a lot of turns, picked up outs on the turn when he check/called or whatever. Then I fired the river which couldn't have helped me in a million years.

So today's play is probably over with. I did 4584 hands in 5.38 hours for $1032.55. Yay for running good and playing good at the same time.

Today's first session was rather atypical. I had a lot of tables where the people on my left 3-bet a huge % out of the blinds, so I made some adjustments instead of changing tables. I think somehow this changed me mentally a little and had an affect on my post-flop play since I c-bet a lot less than I normally do. I caught myself about 2/3 the way through the session and sort of realized it.

Biggest losers were AKs < K9s aipf for -$107, top two against a set for -$77, a shitty double barrel in a 3-bet pot for -$55, and middle pair + nfd that caught trips on the river against a flopped set for -$48. Biggest winners were QQ flopping quads against a fish's KK when he called a 5-bet for +$110, AA getting 3 streets out of JJ on TKxKx against a fish for +$73, TPTK where I bet 3 streets and he folded on the river for +$55, and JJ playmastering it up against AK on an undercard board for +$46.

I'm not happy with where my head was during this session. I was 14/11 with a 33% ats and 42% wwsf. If I'm playing that tight then my wwsf should be much higher imo.

Second session today. I played pretty well and ran pretty bad. I've probably made up for most of my rungood yesterday with runbad today, but I don't mind. My focus was in and out, but my autopilot was pretty good at kicking itself in the ass to wake up.

Biggest losers: QJ call lagg LP open in blinds, c/c Jxx turn Q, c/r and get it in vs a flopped set for -$140, KK loses to AQs aipf for -$102, T9s v ATs on QTxxx in a 3-bet pot where he got two bets out of me postflop for -$50, and JT v AQ on JxxxQ for -$32.

Biggest winners: KQ v bare nfd on KKQ for +$106, KK vs some shit on xxxAx where the damn queen killed my action for +$35, then a few +$20-22 where I raised the flop or floated or something.

This session I was a bit more active at 15/13 with a 35% ats and 52% wwsf. Down about $160 and AIEV puts me at +$160 so I'm cool with that considering that's about how good I ran in AIEV yesterday plus I feel like I haven't played particularly well most of today.

I'm pretty sick atm and don't feel particularly well so I might not have a third session for today.

do it

I'm so fucked up on cold medicine right now. I ran over 3 and a half BIs bad on AIs so my session looks better than my graph would suggest. I don't really care because I ran pretty good two days ago, but just saying. I was kind of tight too, like 13/12 with a 34% attempt to steal and a 48% wwsf.

Okay time for some big hands. Biggest losers: KK v AA for -$121, pair + fd vs AA on Axx for -$110 (I'm almost certain I fucked up here but don't want to get too into it atm), 76 v top set on 98x in a 3-bet pot for -$99 where I was planning on shoving any piece, KK < QQ for -$95, and KK < AK for -$80 aipf.

Biggest weiners: spoonitnow, fatb, AA v 99 AI on J76 in a 3-bet pot for +$111, 44 in a minraised pot where I flopped a set and got most of a guy's stack in with his FD then he hit his FD on the river but it also gave me quads for his last $35 or so for +$102, AK v AT on AK6 for +$100, flush over flush for +$100, and KJo > my AA > AKs and KJo AIPF but lost to the short stack's KJo so it was still +$71.

Haha what a session. My AIEV would put me at about -$55, so weeee. I ran about 13/11 with a 34% ats and 39% wwsf. The first 1/3 of my session I was stupidly trying to do two things at once and it's funny because you can see my red line and wwsf immediately suffer. Okay so some big hands:

Biggest losers: AA < KK aipf for -$110, fish opens to $10 i 3bet KK to like $25 he calls with JT and the flop is KQ9 gg and -$100, a dumb hand where KJ sucked out on my QQ and i missed drawing to a billion outs on the river for -$66, and A8o < T9s aipf against the same guy for -$56.

Biggest winners: AK > QJ aipf for $99 lol regwars, QQ v 44 on Q4K but the guy put in 1/4 of his stack pre so I don't care for $59, and JJ > A9 on 9-high flop for $53.

I think that's going to be all of my play for today since I'm not really feeling well at all. I think I'll post today's EV graph for lols though:

Shit's been kind of ridiculous lately, but I'm seriously hoping we can both put it past us. Gl with this dude. You deserve to run hotter than the sun with as much help as you've dolled out in the BC and in IRC.

Play goot, run better!

Here's a joke, boy. One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the fu ck's your problem?'

the guy you stole that joke from got pwned man

Well if he's dead then it ain't stealing.

Neat session. I went about 14.5/12 with a 35% ats and 52% wwsf. I think I played pretty well, but I missed a call early in the session that would have given me another $80 or so. A quick run-down of the biggest pots:

Biggest losers: AK v 97 on A77xx against a fucktard for -$98, AQ v J9 against a short stack on QT286 for -$57, and a triple barrel that got raised on the river with AK on 4T49Q for -$48.

Biggest winners: 33 v 86 on 73483 for +$118, 98 v TT on 9878J for +$99, 88 v T9 on 2T8K7 for +$99, set vs overs+fd AI on flop for +$98, runner flush vs slowplayed set for +$82, KK v QQ on KQx in a 3-bet pot for +$77, QQ v 67 on TJ83K where I bet bet c/call a shove for +$69, 66 v AJ on 65A8T for +$59, and finally 88 v 99 on 8TJ7T where he called off most of his stack on the flop and got it in on the turn for +$51.

I think this morning I was energized by yesterday's losses and I had a little bit of a heightened energy towards keeping focused and not messing with distractions as much as I normally do.

I love this thread. And it's almost on page 2!

This was a sort of weird session. I had a lot of deep-stacked play and a lot of nits on my left on most of the tables. I played 15/13 with a 42% ats and 56% wwsf. My focus was in and out. Here are the biggest hands:

Biggest losers: AK v T9 on KQJ in a weird 3-bet pot where dude put in about $40 of his stack preflop for -$104, 77 < AA on 997 for -$89, KK vs a set in a 3-bet pot for -$85, and TP vs gutshot that hit on the turn and gave me a massive redraw in a raised pot for -$60.

Biggest winners: QQ > AK against a maniac aipf for +$137, AA vs two hands I don't know that both folded on the river for +$92, KK got 2 streets out of 88 on 9659 in a 3-bet pot for +$61, and AK > T4o aipf for +$34.

Not the greatest session. I didn't feel too well going into it and I think I played a little more passively than I normally do. I was 16/13 with a 40% ats and 40% wwsf. My AIEV put be behind about 3 BIs, yadda yadda, no big deal.

Biggest losers: KK < AJ on xxJx in a 3-bet pot for -$117, KK v AA for -$110, and AK v AA against a guy who minraised after a limper and i 3bet and got it in for -$57. I didn't lose more than $30 in any other pots.

Biggest winners: 66 v A9 in a limped pot on 693r for +$54. That's the only hand I won more than $30 in. Sigh. =P

That would have been a depressing session if I cared about things like that, especially since I got stacked like six times. My stats looked good at about 16/13 with a 45% ats and 46% wwsf.

Biggest losers: damn there are a lot of these, 33 v AA on Axx3 for -$101, TPTK v set vs TPWK in a weird multiway spot against a short stack and a full stack for -$101, AQ v 22 on Ax22A for -$100, QQ < AK aipf for -$100, and AK v 99 on A92A for -$99.

Biggest winners: set over set for +$106, and AA v KK for +$98. That's it for hands where I won more than $40.

I don't think a -4 BI session is that bad here considering 2 of it was AIEV. I made a couple of big folds early in hands that would have cost me a lot of money, like where I folded KK facing an open and 3-bet and this other hand where I check/called down a flush made on the turn. As a side note, I might be pushing some of my medium-strong hands too hard when my opponent's range is really weak instead of giving them a chance to bluff, especially in WA/WB situations.

Haha, that was a cool session with very few large pots. I ran about 14/12 with a 38% ats and a 46% wwsf.

Biggest losers: open A7s in MP targeting a player in the blinds, then BU calls and flop comes K77 I bet he calls, turn 8, he has 88 for -$139, then JJ v QQ on a 9-high flop against what I thought was a super wide range at the time but in retrospect probably wasn't for -$100.

Biggest winners: raised a flop against a guy with a high c-bet with an underpair, caught a set on the turn and we stacked off for +$99, and AQ on QT34K where I got him with the ole bet bet c/c against a busted flush draw for +$53.

@XTR1000, yeah pretty much.

This wasn't really a bad session, it was just like earlier where there weren't any big hands and my lack of focus kind of screwed me over. I ran 13/11 with a 36% ats and 41% wwsf. I didn't profit more than $35 in any individual pots (biggest four where people who called a 3bet pre and folded on the flop or turn vs my AA/KK) and lost $50 in two hands, one where I ran TPTK into the tip of a fish's range and the other was a flip preflop.

I've had a string of losing sessions so I might play some 50nl for a day or two since I can pretty much run over that game like a fucking steamroller.

Man I do some funny shit sometimes.

I went to log into PokerStars and my RSA token was almost to run out of time for the current code so I waited up until it was just about to change and then saw if I could type in the code faster than it would change.

I played 50nl this session and pretty much ran over everyone. Early on a guy 3 outed me on the turn and we got it in and I sucked out on the river. I ran about 16/13 with a 36% ats and 55% wwsf. I won the suckout hand above for stacks, then a few hands for 50-60bb profit with sets and flushes and stuff, but that's about it. Most of it was just tearing peoples asses up. I also didn't lose more than about 25bb in any single hand.

Funny session. Break even, break even, break even, WIN HUGE POTS OMG. I ran about 17/14 with a 42% ats and 50% wwsf and just generally took shit over like I normally do. I lost a big pot with TPTK vs a set and a rivered set vs flopped quads. I won a big pot when I make a runner straight against a slowplayed two pair and overshoved the river and he called me down because I'm FOS. I also won a flip preflop and owned QJs with my KK.

I kept focused pretty well I think.

Thanks. :]

This is yesterday's only session (50nl FR). I went to post it but FTR was being slower than shit so I said fuck it. I ran about 17/15 with a 55% ats and 46% wwsf. I had a few funny hands, and a hand I made a big mistake in.

The big mistake hand was impulsively calling a shove with A3 on TT4 with a flush draw where I clearly didn't have the odds needed against my opponent's likely range. I lost like $57 on that hand. My other big loser was 22 v 99 on 2779 where we got in 3 bets on the flop and the shove on the turn for -$51.

My winners were great. I open AA in MP, fish shoves 100bb in MP, 40bb stack in the blinds call. MP has 22 and the blind has JJ, the board runs out 9692................ 9 ship it +$68. I also did some cold-hearted shit with 88 against KQ on 88K for +$40, and then the fish from the previous hand called my LP open in the blinds when I held A9 and open shoved like 35-40bb into a 6bb pot on 985 two-tone. I thought for a minute and snapped his ass off and he had Q7o, ship the +$38.

Decided to play 100nl today. In this session I was about 13/12 with a 33% ats and 58% wwsf. I ran kind of good this session because I won AQs vs KK aipf though I was really good against his range. There weren't really any other notable hands.

I played three sessions today (50nl FR) and it was mostly uneventful. I think I made a few bad plays, but there weren't many big pots at all. Over about 5 hours of play I ran about 15/13 with a 40% ats and 48% wwsf. Here are some hands:

I open in MP with 77, the SB calls, the BB min3bets, we both call. The flop comes 653 with two hearts and I don't hold a heart. We call check the flop, and the turn comes the 7 of hearts. The SB bets about 2/3 pot, the BB minraises, I call and the SB calls. The river is an offsuit King. At this point the BB only has 5bb left behind in a pot that's about 105bb. The river action goes check check, and it's to me with $38 behind in a pot of $52.50. Because of the turn and river action, I think it's unlikely that the SB has any of the hands that beat me, and I don't really care what the big blind has, so I shove. I think going ahead and getting it in on the turn is better.

Overs + nfd ai on flop vs a set. Boooo.

Overplayed TP2K on a KJ9 two-tone board against a semi-loose player who called my EP open in the blinds. Boooo.

TP vs a set in a 3bet pot against a fish. Boooo.

QQ < AK aipf. Standard flip.

QJ < AT on KTx in a 3-bet pot. Standard flip.

AA regulates KK aipf. Yessss.

KK regulates JJ on some shit-some shit-some shit-King when the king make 3 hearts on the board and homeboy didn't have a heart.

QQ > AQ aipf. Standard flip.

This shit might actually hit 3 pages

I played two sessions today (50nl fr), and it was a little weird. I decided to tighten up a bit (though I think I tightened up more than I meant to) and played about 14/12 with a 31% ats and 45% wwsf. I wasn't very into what I was doing mentally, and I felt like shit the entire time I was playing. Despite this, I don't think I played particularly bad, though I did run kind of good.

My biggest wins were set over set, AK > AK aipf (which is basically winning a flip, bam), AA vs JT ai on Jxxx, and 77 vs AJ on Q7xJ all for a stack each. My biggest losses were AK vs KJ on KJx for half a stack and this AK hand where I made probably a bad double barrel on TT49r and the guy shoved and showed JT.

The one hand I really think I made a big mistake on was with trips + top kicker on a weird board. At the time I think he was an unknown who was something like 20/0 over 10 hands or something, but looking at PT3 now I have 62 hands on him and he's 38.71/0. Anyway, we're full stacked and he limps in the HJ 8-handed, I raise in the CO with AK of diamonds and he calls.

The flop comes KK3 with two spades and he checks. Now the flop pot is like $5.75 before the rake so probably like $5.50 after the rake, and I decide to bet $3.50. This might seem smallish, but this is the bet size I'd make if I was bluffing, so I decided to make the same bet size. I'm not sure if this is best or not, but I think there's not much of a difference. He calls. The turn is the 8 of spades which makes the board KK38 with three spades. He checks and the turn pot is like $11-$11.50. I bet $8 and he quickly calls.

The river is an offsuit Q that makes the board KK38Q with three spades and he insta-shoves $33 into about $27-$28 and I have him covered. Now I need somewhere around 35-37% equity to call here, and it's hard to put him on a range because I know so little about him. If I give him {KQ-KT, 33, 88, 5 spade combinations} then I have about 36% equity and it's about break even. This is probably a bit pessimistic, but he's not always going to play KJ and KT like this since he'll raise on the earlier streets, so it's hard to say. The problem is that I think he'll be more likely to raise KQ preflop and on the flop/turn also, so it's really tough to say.

I wasn't feeling too great and I wasn't sure if losing a big pot would push me over the edge of not giving a damn, so I decided to make a fold in what I felt was about a break even scenario. The problem is that it never occurred to me that this guy is a total unknown at a game I log tens of thousands of hands at a month, and total unknowns this time of year are going to suck. I should have realized that he's going to show up with some really weird stuff here sometimes (like the AA he showed me when I folded) and insta-snap called so fucking hard it broke my mouse. But it's all good.
