Live Cashy + Online Donkaments

Been running ok online I tried 6max 25nl again on Wednesday. Just because. As usual either ran into the nuts or got sucked out on. Got it back to even after 1600 hands but was 2 buy ins down on EV like usual. From reading my blog anyone would think I'm the unluckiest guy in the world. Its because I am.

Wednesday night and back to the Wainui cash game. Its 6-7handed, I buy in for $75 and run card dead for ages. 83o, T2o, 74o over and over. I get Q9 and call Mikes raise in position. I like playing Mike in position. Flop comes down AQxr and he (Over) cbets 7 into 6. Call. Turn is a J and he fires again 16 this time. Call. River K and he tanks and goes another 20. I know I'm not in good shape against pretty much anything so its a pretty easy fold. He shows J10 for the scummy runner runner. Balls. 72 becomes my most winningest hand as I take down a cuple of pots with c bets and collect everyones 50c on top.

I fold pocket KQs to Chris's 4bet from the button. He shows AKs and fold 10's to Lukes 3bet from the blinds and he turns over queens. Its getting late and I raise it up with Jh10h from the cut-off and get called by Tim who has just re-bought in the big blind. Flop comes down 9h3h8 for the open ender, flush draw + 2 overs if you couldn't work that out. I really wanted to get it in on that flop right there. C bet, Tim calls. Turn a J offsuit and bet again. Time shoves over the top and its an easy call. He turns over A9 for 2nd pair. 2 aces and one 9 in the deck. Sure enough a 9 on the river. gg.

Read the forum below the other day. Worryingly truthful stuff in there:

Had a few red wines and fired up a $26 tourney token on Tilt and a $50 double up on Titan.

3rd for $66 in on Tilt and double up on Titan. Get greedy, play another $50 and bubble it. Down $10 rake. Boo. Titan kindly gave me a $400 bonus I have until the end of May to unlock. What a joke, it gets released as a lump sum and I'd have to pay 3k rake to unlock it. I can't see myself playing 30k worth of tourneys in a month. Give it a go though for sure.

Ssshhhh dont tell Full Tilt

Haven't been playing a whole heap but still making progress at 50nl. Running at about 6bb/100 over 9k hands. I cleared the fast 50 bonus on my account pretty quick so decided to have a look at the flat mates abandoned FT account and find he has a $400 bonus to clear. Transfer my funds to him and "get him" to start to unlock the bonus. Going to be pretty hard work to clear $400 in a month. Have to play roughly 30k hands. 2.5k hands in, $4.55 down but $31 unlocked so its a win I suppose.

Decided to hit the casino on Saturday night. Buy in for about $130 and start to play the tightest I have ever attempted. Win a small pot with aces early on then get it all in on the flop with a good combo draw and river the flush vs flopped 2 pair. Up over $300 a this stage and feeling solid. Basically fold out for ages and then raise on the button to $10 with A2s and am called by some foreign (read dirty German) guy in the big blind. I c-bet the 55Tr flop for $20 and am called. Double Barrelling seems like a good play because this guy can have any 2 cards so I fire another $30 on the K turn. The river comes and offsuit Ace and he fires out $75 into roughly $110. I pretty much intsa call and he turns over QJ for the nuts. Called the flop with air, turns the open ender and is soooo happy to show his dirty rivered straight. Go on a bit of a tilty bender and stupidly bluff this other uber donk off a couple of small pots where I obviously had nothing. Cash out a few hands later for $250 but still smarting about the German shit cunt.

Things are looking up in general:

FT: ~$1600
Live: $225

Edit:

Too hung and tired for any serious poker on Sunday. 2hrs sleep does not cut it so obviously its time for a bit of Titan. Fire up a $30 10 man tourney and figure out how to get my hud going. Play tight for a while while the table shoves chips around the place. 5/10 people playing >50% VPIP. Get it in a few times with AJ and AK and always have the opponents dominated and hold. Down to 4 left (3 pay) and one guy is sitting out. I tell the table to just insta fold to blind the guy out, they listen and I steal everything. Down to 3 and I'm 2nd stack, big stack kicks little stack and there were 2. I go on a stealing rampage and even up the stacks before getting it in bad for the first time and sucking to a flush. Couple more hands go by and I'm $120 richer. The quality of play was worse than in a $2 +.20 on Tilt. People didn't understand any basic strategy at all which was nice. Might have to make a habit of playing these, hugely under-rolled.

Titan: $210
