Ravageur's Life Thread

Par for the course. It seems to be impossible to dodge the real death runs, even when I think I'm playing my A game. It seems to always happen right at the start of my sessions so I find it harder to stop since it seems ridic to start a session and then stop right away when I've barely played and I'm not yet tilted. Yesterday I was down 1k in the first 300 hands and here was today. I managed to stop after 1k hands but ...wtf?




Here are some of the bigger non flip/AK<AA hands...there's a few marginal shoves but all in all I think I played ok. So far it's been a very frustrating April. Maybe I should go back to playing my B game

Villain was unknown so def not a reg. I think it's close but it's a blind war so he should be bluff raising the flop a decent amount and I don't really like calling and owning myself on some bad turns so I think getting it in is ok.

Villain here folded to lots of 3-bets, so I think he's super weighted towards 77-JJ. Just fml when he timebank slowroll called.

THis is the only hand I don't like. I should just fold flop though I was surprised by what he had. His stats are like 24/20/6

I think the JJ hand is a mega standard shove on flop.

Q9 hand I think is too thin. I don't disagree that he has some 77-JJ, but if you look at hand combos for his CALLING range which is the only t hing thats important here, its way heavily weighted towards QJ-AQ than for lower pairs.

It wouldn't be fair if I also didn't post my upswings if i'm going to whine about the downers. Since last graph:




Some whale gave me 4 stacks today and I had a bunch of 70/30s hold as well. Fun stuff.

Being lazy not making any condo posts, so finally gonna post some pics of one of the front runners so far. I'm going to see 2 or 3 more today and then another one on monday. Hopefully I can get all the visits in this week and then start tackling the decision making process. This one has great location (mile-end district for MTL people), but no balcony, and it's a loft style place which is great for a bachelor like me but not sure it will still be 'hip' in a few years. It's on the 2nd floor and overlooks Saint Laurent which is sweet. Another con is there's just the one big window so no window in bedroom although the wall opens up to let some of the window light in. Do you see what this stuff does to you? It gets you talking about bedroom lightning. I visited it yesterday and really dug the layout of the place and it all struck me as pretty baller. There's also a garage below if I ever needed a car.
