June Giraffes

You guys still have a few days to grind, but I'm done for the month, taking a breather and coming back next month.

I played a nit HU at a 6m table because he was not that good, so ship the red line:



some of it heads up, most 6m
total for RB should probably be close to $250 if you include the fact that I cleared part of a bonus on stars

[ATOTHEC101]

I'm done for the month, gotta prep for my euro trip, leaving weds and it's gonna be sick.


This month has been really frustrating, started off well again but ran into some gay variance in my last 15k which has obv led to some spewage on my part, still my best month ever so I can't complain. Nearly all 2/4, maybe 5k hands of 1/2.






+ $1,025 in rb = $14,700.

[bigred]

[pocketfours]

The grind is on...

[griffey24]

Lowest hand volume in months, but that's ok, was in Vegas for 9 days.

Vegas: + 1.6k in cash
- $550 venetian tourney
- $1.5k in WSOP event

[Deanglow]

pretty much broke even but I'm happy with that considering I was like -$5k in vegas and played 7000 hands online.

[ATOTHEC101]

Didn't plan on playing today but I did and won almost 3k, so I kinda have to repost, ma bad.






+ $1075 in rb = $17,580.

[dev]

Lowest vol month uhmm, ever. I played a lot live.

So... a small loss on cake and a bit of RB = $648.29 online, a couple more if you count the mid year iron man bonus.

Live... house games, bar games, a partners LHE and O8/b tourney, 1/2 at the woods and the sun = $4976

Fuck it! We'll do it live!

[Irisheyes]

Things were going great until half way through when everyone else started getting dealt the nuts every hand.

[ATOTHEC101]

ah man the redline in the second half of that graph makes me sad.

[bjsaust]

Ewww dev. You should have stopped June a couple hours earlier .

Irisheyes, you think you just ran into big hands alot last 15k hands or did you change your game (or did people adjust to you)?

[bjsaust]

Mine:


Crappy start, bunch of 50nl on Party in the middle, then back on track at 100nl at the end. Even though I played like double the hands for half the profit of last month, this makes the 3rd month running I've earnt +$1k so I'm really really happy. 200nl soon!

[dev]

That was a $350 below EV SS session for my last day of iron man. The session was 20 minutes long.

[Irisheyes]

Irisheyes, you think you just ran into big hands alot last 15k hands or did you change your game (or did people adjust to you)?

I think I actually ran red-line good in the first half of the graph and red-line bad in the second half. My red line usually sinks anyway. The red-line bad bit was really bad though, it just felt like every hand the most passive guy on each table would minraise me on the turn and I'd have to fold or the guy's with the 5% 3bet stat would take turns to 3bet me every second hand. I don't think it was them adjusting or anything (I've played over 300k hands at this site) it was just running bad.

[JL]

Too many vacations/days off. It'll be a miracle if I can play more than 20,000 hands in any one of the summer months.



~$4500 total

[oskar]

Stopped playing about 10 days ago... only played a session today.
It started with -10BI in all-in EV in 5k hands, and then tilt, no heater to pull me out, loosing confidence, dropping down...

April sucked, May was massive heaterments, June sucked even more than April, so July will be 5 figs imo.

[Galapogos]

3rd losing month in a row after only having 2 previously in my 4 year long career. Bankroll is depleting quickly. Honestly getting pretty scared. Hating life. Etc.

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

27k hands, +1050 at 25 and 50NL. first real month of poker in 2009.

[Parasurama]

Worst month of poker ever, down about $1500 overall, without bonuses probably 2k. Only $600 under EV so I can't even use that to make myself feel better.

[daven]

FT full ring
-$685 at the tables, B/E after rakeback etc. But i now know how to play a little looser.

Party 6-max
was doing great in the 25nl-100nl trip until i tried 12-tabling 100nl when tired.
+550 at the tables, + $400 in promos, accrued about $300 in bonus points if i want to cash them in now (but i don't)

overall ran and played kinda bad.

so about $1k up for the month. Yuck.

[Parasurama]

I know right? It's like, how the fuck do they always have it?

Not trying to compare your downswing to mine but fuck poker right now

i tried 12-tabling 100nl

don't do that, wtf I can't even handle 6 tables sometimes when I'm not focused and rush my decisions and I've been playing 6m longer than you have (by a month? lol)

when tired.

epic fail...

[AnTman_69]

Put in the lowest volume of hands since i started playing 1.5 years ago.




+ 600~ from party fish tables
+800~ from live

[jyms]

I did my best to ruin the month by moving back to $100NL and proceeded to drop 8BI's in a runbad, tilt inducing, what the fuck why me not again session. Lost the whole months work and got it back in two sessions.

[givememyleg]

+$1,500 vegas
+$176 bonus
+$300 laptop

~$2838

i play too much poker, probably won't get as many hands in next month.

[mixchange]

i tried 12-tabling 100nl

Well, it certainly can be done, but it's not something you do with the expectation that its an optimal strategy for moving up.

Last 100Kish hands, over the past 2 months 12-16 tabling at 7bb/100, plus 2.2K RB:




I'm gonna be building my roll up after pulling out almost all of that, and then once the roll is up to around 6K again I'll try permanently moving up to 1/2 and start out 6 tabling it (which seems like a snails pace compared to what I currently do). Hopefully I can adjust and eventually 9 table. But I don't think I would do higher than 9 tables unless I was at 100NL or below, or if I was Nanonoko


This month:


Almost all 100NL 6m, a few times I played 1/2 and 2/4 because I saw huge fish. 6bb/100, seems good for how many tables I play but i tilted at the end of the month a few days and really should have done at least 1.5K more



These are my best consistent winrates over big samples, now I just need to figure out how to actually move up.

[Illfavor]

This is my first image host thing so it's probably a fail.

+1K in FR, +200 in RB

[Parasurama]

Just for kicks:



Sick volume due to losing and not having a life.

[givememyleg]

wow sick life

Parasurama, red line/blue line plx

[Sup3rM4N]

Para, do u play 6m on stars? I played quite a few hands against someone with ur name. How many tables are you doing to get that high volume?

[Parasurama]

Red line, blue line are both negative. Red line was positive for a while and blue line was negative. Then they crossed at $0 and red line was massively negative at the end and blue line was slightly negative.

Yeah I play 6m on stars I was playing 12 tables and tilting like a monkey so you probably don't have a very high opinion of my play superman. What's your name?

I've cut down to 6 tables and am up $400 today (this month) and feel like I'm playing much better.

[The Izebox]

I didnt do too bad. Deposited 600 on Full Tilt on 6/9/09. Currently at 2256.90.
8.75 bb/100 at nl 25 for 13581 hands
3.47 bb/100 at nl 25 for 22528 hands
2.21 bb/100 at nl 100 for 6317 hands

Im hoping to see my bb/100 get up to closer to 5-6 bb/100 once i get in a groove. If everything goes according to plan I can start touching nl 400 within the next couple months. The good thing is that I am playing purely for fun, I feel no pressure whatso ever. My first session at nl 100 I dropped 4 buy ins like water, but I didnt really spazz. I guess not having to depend on cashouts makes all the difference. Yay to being 26 lolz

4 buyins? I'm 22 so I didn't care when I dropped 9 last month lol

[Parasurama]

Yeah lol what does being 26 have to do with anything? I don't depend on cashouts and I'm 19 and I can drop 34 BI no sweat

Yeah lol what does being 26 have to do with anything? I don't depend on cashouts and I'm 19 and I can drop 34 BI no sweat

in b4 an 18 year old posts he dropped 60

[mxiu]

so apparently all graphs go in here



FR 100NL

@ 18k hands i really shifted gears and popped my steal upto 40'ish and my doubled got my 3-bet to 6-7%.. which is the red line i assume?

[bode]

red line is won without showdown, not 3bet.

[Parasurama]

I think he was just saying 3betting more helped his red line. Idk for sure though.

Btw, ship July:

[mxiu]

yeah i meant 3-betting/4-betting more won more hands without showdown.

[ZwiFT]

yeah i meant 3-betting/4-betting more won more hands without showdown.

Trust me its not always gonna go your way =)

[kmind]

+$150 in rakeback
+100 on other laptop

Pissed about the end of the month but felt I ran bad followed by running hot at the very end.

yeah i meant 3-betting/4-betting more won more hands without showdown.

Trust me its not always gonna go your way =)

yeah in my own experience I found it easier to 3b like 6% and squeek under the radar (not get 4b that much, not have to 5b bluff people back) than 3b like 9% and have to shove it in against people who play back at me and pray they don't have the top of their range

[jyms]

It doesn't matter if they have the top of there range, DUCY

[bjsaust]

I've kind of noticed this in reverse on Party lately. A LOT of the regs have 3bet % of around 5%, and its just hard to play back against that range since it isnt overwhelmed by bluffs like 8%+ ranges are.

[jyms]

If you want to play that 5% 3bet range you better damn well have AA and KK in that calling range often enough

I've kind of noticed this in reverse on Party lately. A LOT of the regs have 3bet % of around 5%, and its just hard to play back against that range since it isnt overwhelmed by bluffs like 8%+ ranges are.

but then again they don't bother you as much
The statistics in HEM show that people with over 7% 3b are the biggest winners

[minSim]

Agree, you shouldn't worry about people with 5% 3bets. The have their range weighted towards valuehands enough that you shouldn't play back light against them.

[jyms]

There are two kinds of 5% 3betters. Some 3bet the same range, some 3bet 8-9% OOP vs stealers. I play them different.

[Miffed22001]

brag:24 tabling is fun (not much of a brag)
beat: learn to run somewhere toward expectation
variance: have'nt sorted my red line yet - had to move down while learning to make decisions so quickly

miffed: if you spent that time 6 tabling 100NL you'd probably make moar moneys?

[Miffed22001]

miffed: if you spent that time 6 tabling 100NL you'd probably make moar moneys?

possibly - but its soo long since i played 6 max properly i dont even know if id be a winning player

A game is beautiful when it has simple, logical rules and those rules give way to a depth of skill and strategy unforeseen by its creators.
I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it’s not about the individual but it can be with everyone.
