Just do what I do. Go into your very first post, change the title and move on. Keep posting, keep rolling, we want more.

OPERATION 75k IS COMPLETE!!!




So I added up my bankroll just there and since the 12th June 2006 when I started this long journey I've earned a total of $83,350!! I never realised it but I was actually already over the 75k mark when I made that $6k the other day. In total I've played over 400k hands at all levels from 100NL to 2000NL. This has been an incredible experience and I've really enjoyed sharing it with everone who reads this thread.

I want to thank everyone for reading and contributing and all the people who have helped me. People on AIM, MSN, Xianti, Tyson, Eric and all the contributers of FTR. I know I couldn't have done it without you.

I'm not really sure what to do now. Bankroll is at around 65k now and I'm deffinitly going to keep playing poker and pushing to improve, play higher and win more. I don't know if I'm going to keep updating this thread. Maybe I should keep using it as a diary of my total poker life and have something huge to look back on in the future or I might just leave it here and keep playing quietly. I'll decide over the next few days I guess.

Anyway, as a thank you, here is a 53min video of me 4 tabling 400NL on Party Poker. Maybe someone would like to watch it and see if they can learn something or maybe teach me something. If it doesn't work you most likely need to download the codec. Also I left in a piece of test video at the start so ignore that please. It's about the first 3mins. It's 136mB. If you have questions or advice about the way I played please post here.

Awesome, congrats Irish! I've never really posted in here, but I've read the whole thread, you've come a long way, keep up the good work

I can't remember the stuff that happened in the last couple of days so I'm just going to call this day 9 and go from here. Wish me luck please!!

My BR just after I finished my exams was about $9000 I think. So I have to get to $84,000. Here we go...

Wow this whole post has been really inspiring. I could be here in sixth months.

Yeah it's possible I'm already there. I haven't added money I withdrew prior ot June 2006 so I don't know but I'm definitly > $95,000.

Don't stop posting. maybe a sticky or two about some things you learned. You have played a lot of different stakes and sites. You have a wealth of info. If you don't want to post about your game, maybe post about ours. Your a high roller now, one of the top earners here, nice to see another success.

Hey man, your vid sounds interesting.

I say since I'd love to watch it by I only get audio. Dloaded the Codec but no dice...

I watched your video and thought all in all it was pretty solid. It was very comparable to a few of the Cardrunners videos I've watched. It appears you ran pretty well during the course of that particular session, and got paid well when you hit your hands.

It does seem like you didn't have too many difficult decisions to make, and usually when your opponents came at you, you had the goods, which is always nice. On multiple occasions I especially liked how you used reasoning aloud to make decisions, which seemed to be pretty much all good ones.

This is one of the oldest operation threads, along with my own *cough cough!* and I have pretty much lurked through it from the start till now. That is an incredible milestone, and something for all the Operation people to look at. Great job!

Thanks Setzy.

Gentruic, try VLC Media Player. Google it.

I watched the first half of your video. The only things I can think of are mostly pre-flop oriented:

1) Raising Axo on the small blind in a battle of the blinds is a leak imo. Sometimes I just call sometimes I fold. Its not that strong of a hand out of position.

2) Raising 22 utg to 4x BB. I personally limp with it or fold. 22 is only good in large multi-way pots or when you have position on 1 person. By raising 4x BB utg you are just creating a large pot out of position, and setting yourself to get 3-bet. Not a good situation imo. Sometimes I also fold 22 utg if the table is very aggressive pre-flop

3) Raising A7o on the cutoff after a limper on the hijack. Again I think this is going to spew more often or not. Just not a strong enough hand to warrent raising. If it was suited I might. But this I just fold.

4) Your opening pre-flop raises are all to 4xBB regardless of position. I think that you should range from 3xBB to 4xBB depending on a number of factors. The further you are out of position (i.e. the closer you are to UTG) the more you should raise. This is because you want to be 1 on 1 generally and there are more people left to act to still when you raise UTG vs. when you raise on the button.

Another thing to consider when raising is what are the odds of being 3-betted pre-flop. If you are dealing with habitual 3-betters (not something you see much at 400 nl or 600 nl, but at a 1000 nl you will see at more and at 2000 nl it is commonplace), I raise to 3xBB on button as opposed to 3.5xBB. A minute difference really but the idea is that I risk less when they 3-bet but if I have a monster (like AA) I tend to get their stack either way. However if the blinds are more passive pre-flop, I try to get them to put more money in. Im still not 100% sure on this concept as ive only figured recently playing a ton 1000 nl 6-max.

I liked your post-flop play a lot. Its very similar to mine.

Thanks a bunch for the post. In response:

1) This is something I've been realising lately. I'm finding myself in tough spots postflop when I raise Ax pf into a decent BB player. I do deffinitly tighten up when I feel the BB is a player who is likely to play back at me. At 400NL this isn't the case very often though so I think in a lot of spots against the majority of players raising and cbetting will be +EV.

2) This is something I've seen Taylor Caby do on cardrunner which made me think. My 1 huge question though is how do you balance this stratagy?

3) I was probably isolating a weak fish. Again, at 400NL the majority of people play back at cbets very poorly. Most of the passive fish will limp/call and c/f the flop all day so I feel it is good to keep punishing them when I'm in position. This won't work so well against the better players but then again they don't limp/call so much.

4) Nice idea. I will def. be trying this in the future.

Thanks again.

I watched the rest of the video.

1) Blind stealing with Axo is ok on the button. I general open-raise with it on the button but fold on the cutoff. I still raise Axs on cutoff as well but generally fold on hijack or worse.

2) I think you should have folded your KT of spades on the river against the trip 6s. I think QT, AQ, Ax of spades, a 6, and a number of other hands make it much more likely he has you beat. I mean I guess he has somewhat aggressive stats so it is a little borderline.

3) I think your a little too worried about not raising certain hands when theres a shortstack around. A lot of those shortstacks arent going to push all-in (at least not until 2000 NL+) but instead will just be a donkey and call. Most of the time though they will still fold (unless they are incrediblhy loose lol).

1) It's pretty marginal. Guess it's ok depending on who is in the blinds.

2) possibly. I'll need to go look at it again.

3) Maybe, I just find I alwaysa have this problem.

Very proud. Congrats

Congrats dude!

Congratulations Irish!
It's been very interesting following your journey through both good and bad times, and I hope you carry on writing in this thread.

I also wanted to tell you that I enjoyed the videos a lot, keep them coming

Congrats sir, very impressive!

Just add a zero after the 75 and continue.

tl; dr

No, but seriously, have you thought about writing a summary of your experiences. I mean, some of the highs and lows and how you've come through them to where you are now?

Then you can option in to some big hollywood house and they can have Matt Damon play you in 75k - the movie.

that read is way too easy.

On reraising preflop:

This is a huge subject, you could literally write a book (at least a pamphlet) if you knew all there is to know about reraising preflop. IMO this skill is what gives the best players a good portion of their edge at 600NL - 2kNL. It's something I'm only coming to grips with myself and trying to get really good at. Anyway, bunch of random thoughts here.

It's not something I would advise trying to force at 100NLish stakes. A strategy which includes a lot of reraising needs a player type that can actually make some folds here and there because a lot of the time you are forced to put your stack on the line with very little in the way of real hands.

Because of this, you should also see an increace in variance when you employ a strategy like this. It basically inflates the sise of the pot dramatically in relation to your stack and even the fishies that read Sklansky know that ++pots and --stacks = mucho variance.

Another reason that reraising becomes more valuable as you move up to higher stakes is that image manipulation becomes a much bigger issue. When you play at hyper aggressive tables where there is lots of preflop raising you ogten find yourself in situations where you hold a good hand (like AA) and there is a raise in front of you. You are forced to reraise here a good percentage of the time. If you only reraise a tight range the good players will notice this and you will not get payed off. This sort of thing won't be such a problem at lower stakes because less players are paying attention and less people are raising preflop with a high frequency.

Your image can also become a very importand weapon against those players who do happen to be paying attention. For example here's a hand where I reraised a TAG so much and my image became so bad that he was forced to begin to employ a shabby 4 betting strategy which allowed me to own him here:

I agree with HJ's up there for the most part. The only thing I would disagree with is:

I dont think it matters a whole lot where you do it from, unless you start actually seeing showdowns. I generally never see a showdown when I do this, they either fold preflop, fold the flop or I give up at some stage.

I think position is a very important factor in reraisings situations. Obviously it is better to be in position when you reraise. It is just far easier to apply pressure from this position and force your opponent to a tough decision for his stack. The problem with this is that generally players raising ranges increace dramatically the later a position they are in. So if you are in the cutoff and a player raises in MP then his raising range from that position will stand to be comprised of much better hands then if you were the BB and he raised from the button. But a lot of the time your position will make up for this especially as stacks tend towards the deeper end of the spectrum.

Generally you should reraise a player more...

the looser his raising standards,
the more coldcallers between you and the initial raiser,
the more likely he is to fold to your raise preflop,
the deeper the effective stacks,
the tighter he is postflop,
the less you think he knows about bluffing lines in reraised pots,
when you are in position.

There's probably a buch of other simple reasons that should be here but they just aren't coming to me right now.

Finally, what hands should we reraise with? I don't like to reraise with TPGK kinda hands like ATo even against fairly wide raising ranges. I feel that we just leave ourselves open to too many marginal decisions later in the hand where we have to decide if our top pair is good. Hands like suited connectors ands Axs are good choices because of what I was referring to at the start. If we are going to be making large bets without much of a hand in an attempt to make another player fold, I would like to be doing it with hands that will a portion of the time have outs should things go wrong. Also obviously TT+ and AK are standard reraising hands. AQ is a marginal raise or fold "it depends" type of beast.


And ehh.... yeah looks like I'm done.

Tryin to play out 100k hands at 5/10 Party at the moment. Getting my ass raped in general and I'm down about 7k over the last few days. I'd say I'm a breakeven player in these games if not a marginal loser but I'm working my rocks off to improve at the moment. Been playing fewer tables, concentrating more, makin reads, changing my game etc so hopefully I'll be able to beat them soon. Hey! No pain no gain right!!?

Right on soldier !
I'm sure you'll dominate those games soon.

I got 114.

lol @ the last question.

I got a 134 which means the test is horribly flawed if I scored better than you two.

lol is my friends test.
I think it glitched out once for me I got some low 130 number too though.

my score sucked cuz i said FOLD for last question wtf rigged

I remember this being posted in BBV a while back. I got a 139 which was the highest I've seen. The test is retarded though, I would never actually have folded some of those hands, I just knew that was the correct answer. Wierd.

How is my favorite donk doing? <3

green plastic got 143 on his blog.
Lyric made the test.

I got 131.

Apparently I have the same poker IQ as a high stakes pro.

I'm a 20NL grinder.

(Although admittedly I should be higher, I'm just a cashout fish)

Holla !

Sup ?

College is so hot right now.

Right peeps, it's time to get down to some serious business again. I've been donking around at 5/10 for the last while not really doing all that well, playing fuck all compared to before christmas and swinging around a bit too much for my general liking.

FWIW this is my graph of all the hands I've played at 5/10:



I've been playing without really being properly focused on the task at hand. I dunno what your personality is like but I have problems where I will decide I'm gonna try really hard to do well at something and I really concentrate hard for a while and do really well but soon my interest wavers and my resolve dropps off. This is the state I've been in since I reached my goal of making 75k.

But it's time for a change.

I've decided that I'm not yet ready for 5/10 so what I'm going to do is try and play 100k hands of 600NL over the next while and see how that goes. Hopefully that stint will teach me some of the skillz I need to win at 5/10 and beyond.

Now, doesn't sound too difficult I hear you say... Well I'm in my final year of my mechanical engineering degree at the moment and exams are about 10 weeks away now. I'm also in the middle of writing my thesis for submission in early April so I don't have as much time as I'd like to get this operation done.

Buuut.. my deadline for 100k hands is the date that my exams start which will be around the start of June as far as I know. SO starting yesterday (6/3/07) I have 12 weeks to get this done. Should be ample time now that I think of it but anyway that was the plan and I'll stick too it. I'm sure beer and my girlfriend and blah blah will prevent me from grinding 24/7.

Was messing around with my Party Poker camera today cos I don't want to go and do college work. Here's 2 pictures of my room joined together. Dunno wtf anyone would want to see this for but anyways...

First 10k hands:





Also I've had quad Aces 3 times in the last 2k hands. Think it's an omen!?

Nice to see that you're doing well.. I figured it'd be interesting to see this thread again having seen a post by you from what must've been ages back... saying how you'd just graduated from play money.

Times change!

Where the hell did you see that?

I put it in coke

no coke required.

F*ck that fancy shit. The man has the nectar of the gods in his room.

Man I LOVE buckfast. Greatest alcohlic drink ever (with milk being the greatest non-alcoholic). The shit is like rocket fuel.

Though one thing I'd like to point out, what you have there Rasta is the green bottle version which as far as I know is popular in the North. Slightly higher alco % and not as syrupy as the brown bottle version but nowhere near as nice IMO.

Oh and welcome to my thread Rasta. You brong my count of people I've dragged over from boards up to 3 YAY!

Buckfast: Endorsed by god

Going to visit the highly romantic Giants Causeway in about an hour with the girlfriend. Staying in a B&B overnight, gonna get me lots of teh secks. Just thought you'd all like to know.

16.5k hands played, +$7k

My operation manager seems to have gone haywire.

Ahhh I keep making retarded rebluffs into the nuts. Need to stop doing that.

Yes.

Yes you do.

Hi.

Spending all my nights,
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes,
I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me, ain't there nothing left for me


Zomg you've got teh gay now!

Irish are you interested in this ? :
