Life Tilt?!?

I would like to say that both online play and live play have been going horribly for me right now... I have probably lost roughly 3.5K in the past two weeks and am struggling to get my ass back in gear to play more...

On a massive downswing.

I keep on getting outdrawn/coolered in HU. I am also playing badly. My cashier is at ~$1400. It has been a frusterating day in poker. I am getting the new PokerTracker update and going to .25/.50 6max and HU in hold'em. It has been fucking depressing.

Hand Histories

Here are the hand histories from my previous session:


This was the first hand of the match. I tend to stack off extremely light when awkward situations come about in the first hand. I am not sure that I like my play here, but I do not think that it is horrible.


Ali had been 4 better me a fair amount during this match. With the draws out there, I thought it best to raise the flop. When he shoved over the top of me, I put him on a semi-bluff or just a bluff. I was shocked to see that he played KT that way. I got destroyed on this hand. This is by fat the most interesting hand of the session. I do not want to get results oriented about it. Does anyone think this an acceptable play? or am I just crazy?


After recalling this horrible stack off, I would say that I was on tilt this hand and the last one posted. I have no clue why this occured...


This was also in the midst of my tilt. This may be the worst bluff attempt in history. I am quite disappointed in myself for barrelling in this spot....

So at this point in the session. Nothing is going right. I am playing badly. Getting in tough situations. Having prolems catching hands. I went out for a cig. When I came back, I decided to 4 table. I am not really going to explain any of the winning hands that I played. Its pretty obvious what to do. I caught cards and got paid off.


I like my turn bet on this one. For some reason my other hands for stacks against this opponent are not there. 



Poker Session

Played .50/1 HU NLHE today... I played some hands very well and some hands very very very poorly. Overall profit of ~$350. Cashier at $2125. I will post the hand histories later today.

Bought in online 2 days ago... Running Good.

I bought in online for 300 dollars and started playing .25/.50 PLO and NLHE. I really did not want to buy in so small, but I was quite bored when I got out of work on Tuesday. The first night I left the talbes with ~$400 in profit. Unfortunately, I do not have the hand histories from these sessions. I did not run very well in PLO, but I was getting quite lucky in hold'em. In PLO, I remember getting outdrawn Ah-Ac-4h-x to Ts-Tc-8s-x on a Ad-Th-9h... He turned and rivered a Q-high straight. A hand in hold'em that i remember was Qc3c to 44 on a 7c-4c-2h. I was certainly the dog in that hand. It was a very easy session and the .25/.50 donks are quite exploitable. 

Last night, I started out playing a solid reg at .50/1. I stacked him with 64s in a reraised pot when I turned my straight. I did a good job extracting the maximum. He had 54s for only a pair of 5s on the 7523J board. I would like anyone reading to take note of my sole read preflop.

Then I came across "kocka88." He is quite possibly the worst player that I have played on FTP. I was getting quite unlucky to start out. We were playing one 100x bb table and one 200x table. I got outdrawn with topset a the deep table. He was also calling me with low-pair and hitting two pair on my. I was down to him at least 300 at one point. I would get insane value from my hands though...(obviously) 

This is the one hand that i have from that session http://www.pokerhand.org/?4000232

An Introduction to the Concept of this Blog

Starting an online poker blog without Leather Daddy!

Unfortuntaly, I do not have the creativity of one hxcxor. The blog title aspiring poker degenerates is a much better name.
