4/13/07

Up & down day for me today, ending down a small amount, in most part to my bad tournament play.

Started the day off with 4 $25 6max SNGs on Stars, and finished 2nd in two of them. Lost to the rake there.

After that I played on FullTilt for like 40 minutes, where I lost around $30. This session sucked b/c I was up on 5 tables, but got crushed on one, where I lost $166.

Here's one hand from that table where I wanted to break something:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh/)

Ugh that one hurt.

Here's another earlier on from the same table, where I lose to a higher flopped set. UL.

Pot Size: $86 ($3 Rake)

SB had 6c 6d (three of a kind, Sixes)
toohigh305 had 3d 3c (three of a kind, Threes)

Here's a sequence of two hands on another table that really pissed me off. I make a good read on the flop on the first one, only to get two-outed on the river. I basically got fucked here when he checked behind the turn, I was pretty confident MHWG.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh/)

toohigh305 (SB): $99
BB: $98.05
UTG: $36.55
MP: $30.15
CO: $127.20
BTN: $159.85

Preflop: toohigh305 is dealt 9d 9s (6 Players)
UTG calls $1, 3 folds, toohigh305 raises to $4, BB calls $3, UTG calls $3

Flop: ($12) 5c 3h 2s (3 Players)
toohigh305 bets $9, BB raises to $25, UTG folds, toohigh305 calls $16

Turn: ($62) 5c 3h 2s 4s (2 Players)
toohigh305 checks, BB checks

River: ($62) 5c 3h 2s 4s 8d (2 Players)
toohigh305 checks, BB bets $21, toohigh305 calls $21

Pot Size: $104 ($3 Rake)

BB had 8c 8s (three of a kind, Eights)
toohigh305 had 9d 9s (a pair of Nines)

So on the very next hand, I don't get a chance to reload, and of course get dealt AA with a shortstack. And of course villain with a full stack had KK. Lost $50 in value here, but at least the donk UTG donated $30.

On the bright side, here was my biggest pot of this session (and of the day it would turn out), where I hit my gutshot wheel (lol, I had 6 outs yo!). Maybe I shoulda slowplayed the turn, but the pot was big enough where I figured I should probably just make my move now. Not quite sure on my turn play here.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh/)

toohigh305 (SB): $152

So I must of been tilted from this session, b/c I played like crap a little later on when I played some more on Stars. I played the $22 deepstack 6max tourny, and again the $11 1 rebuy/1 addon and the $27.50 Guaranteed, and lost in all of them, making it a little past the first break in each of them IIRC.

After that I played 4 more $25 6max SNGs, and lost them all :( . I don't even really feel like looking back at hands from this horrible Stars session, but I would guess that my results were from 70% bad luck and 30% bad play. I should NEVER be playing bad.

To salvage the day, I made a nice run back on FT 100nl 6max. I played for another 2 hours, and won around $175 back.

Here's one strange hand, where I have a very mediocre holding, but was lucky to dodge a flush draw against a donk:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh/)

SB: $81.65
BB: $268.85
UTG: $119.35
MP: $98.50
CO: $138.85
toohigh305 (BTN): $99.50

Preflop: toohigh305 is dealt Kh Js (6 Players)
UTG raises to $3.50, MP calls $3.50, CO calls $3.50, toohigh305 calls $3.50, SB calls $3, BB calls $2.50

Flop: ($21) 5h 9h Kd (6 Players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP checks, CO checks, toohigh305 bets $16, 4 folds, CO calls $16

Turn: ($53) 5h 9h Kd Ts (2 Players)
CO checks, toohigh305 bets $35, CO calls $35

River: ($123) 5h 9h Kd Ts 8d (2 Players)
CO checks, toohigh305 checks

Pot Size: $123 ($3 Rake)

CO had Ah Qh (Ace King high)
toohigh305 had Kh Js (a pair of Kings)

And just as I was about to call it a day, I was reading 2+2, and in the BBV forum, there was a thread about a .05/.10 nl game going on for fun on FT. I decided, why not, I'm a little upset with my results for the day, so I'll blow off some steam. I actually wound up $31, hahahaha. I posted some of my winning hands in that thread, my favorite is where I 4-bet all-in on an ace high flop with complete air, and got villain to fold what he claimed was 9-high, and I showed my bluff.

So for the crazy day, I played 390 hands at 100nl and won $145, 56 hands in the BBV game and won $31, and got crushed on Stars, losing $185 playing donkaments. So overall down $9 for the day to end my little winning streak. Considering how bad I felt I played, I'm not too upset with the results.
