A Day in the Life...

running awful

2009-05-02T23:53:00.000-07:00

running awful, on top being like ~600 in makeup, just had a -4 buyin session where every set I ever made wasn't good or something else went wrong. moving down to 50nl 6max to try and just grind out SOME sort of profits. If enough hands go well at 50NL 6m and Im back to 3k starting point then hopefully ill be back on track for some 200nl fr soon.

haven't felt this miserable about poker in a long ass time.

lol

2009-03-01T00:22:00.000-08:00

I had to make some promises and promises need to be kept but I don't think anyone will be disappointed. 6max wasn't going so well on Full Tilt for me, as I was in the middle of a 9 buyin downswing, and so I figured I should just stick with my bread and butter. Since I don't like the interface much on Full TIlt, I would only grind 8 tables of full ring however since its at 100nl I think I just play that much more better. And I don't gotta stack off with AKs. Anyways, I think I'll stick with full ring for awhile now, and I guess this begins my journey on the way to 200NL full ring, on both Stars and FUll Tilt. Just gotta stay grindin yadida. Anyways here's some hands:

Oh wait, I'm lazy to have to re-paste so here's the graph:

the thing I love about this hand is that I knew the TOP of his range by the turn was KQhh, and so this called for a c/rai on the turn. He doesn't ever have J9 here , EVER, and on top if he had a set/overpair (lol limping pre) then he raises the flop. I think this was fairly straightforward.

Not gonna lie, I love being able to do this. :D

I ran at 21/15 (which is WAY laggy for full ring but winning nonetheless) and won 48bb/100. LOL SUSTAINABLE? nah of course not, but I like to think at least 5 buyins a day is somewhat manageable. Enjoy.

let's look at some coolers

This, my friends, is how you lose 200BB+ pots. You do one of two things:

1. Get in ahead and lose.
2. Have the NUTS lose to the STONE COLD nuts. You'll see what I mean.

Hopefully posting some of these hands will make me feel a bit better. And OH BOY I cannot wait for HEM to upload hands so we can take a look at G bux graff. =)

Is it just me, or isn't supposed to fold to a river shove? Let's see, 4 straight board, both flush draws miss, and he snap called my river shove. No, top pair wasn't shoving for value, obv. it was a bluff, but come on snapping me off with 55 here is grossssssssssss.

YA FUCK YOU NDS YOU LIGHT THREE BETTING MOTHERFUCKER. CONSTANTLY 3BETTING UTG RAISES AND WINNING FLIPS?

I'm not really angry, but come on, this has got to be one of the worst 2 part sessions in some time. Not gonna lie though, I am proud of performing a 3bi stop loss on each session before returning. Ya I'm down 4 buyins, so like 1800$ or something in ftp. Should be about even in equity, not down 6 buyins. Here's to a +20bi session tomorrow imo!

You guys ever have those short sessions where you don't really ever lose a pot more than like, 20-30bbs and you win like 4+ 200BB pots. Well then, let's take a look! :D

I could have shoved river, as he only has AQ here, but something told me he might show up with AJ/A10. He never raised tho, so he turned his hand faceup pretty much. Also its kind of bad for him if you think about it NOT to raise the flop because if he raises and I come over, he can safely muck it. He doesn't beat AJ or AK here, he only beats A9 and my UTG is not that light, so, ya. I love donks what can I say.

6max 50NL tables, heres a review of some of my play there for the first longggggg session of 6 max in awhile.

The games are quite non-comparable to the fullring games, seeing as how 6max is very aggro and coolers are a less of an occurance at 6max than at full ring imo. Less set over sets, flush over flush, etc. At any rate, heres some winners:

Against a fish, easiest value bet in the world. The 10 is sometimes a scare card on the turn, because when you slow down and think, whats he calling with on the flop? But his image made me think otherwise and valuetown.

Standard, this guy slowplays AA/KK/QQ preflop and plays 77-JJ very fast. Hella funny if you ask me, and for the most part the 200BB pots that I won this session were completely standard. Here's some losers:

Looking back on this hand, it could def. be a fold, but considering the villain's stats in the hand (64/3/0 over 210 hands) I really think he could be doing this with AK/KQ/KJ, and Im not worried about the villain behind. LOL @ how diff. full ring is, this would be a muck, haha.

TPGK + flush draw= nuts. Sucks I had to be against the TOP of villains range, but its okay. I don't mind stacking off here ever, as I have flush equity on him. Its when he turns over AJ/KJ/AA/KK that I get excited as I have ALOT more equity. :D

LOL at shoving 50BB stacks in the middle with 10high. Ah well, he hit happens, Im happy to get it in with A7s on A87r.

Thats all for now, later peeps. Plan on grinding on Stars later some fullring, my nitty side permits. :D

17 buyins

or something dumb down in equity. Ballin outta control don't mean shit when you can't win because of variance. Fuck poker, I have a week off in DC to think about how much it:

1. blows to be in makeup
2. why I always have 10 buyins downswings RIGHT when I move up

cause LOL at playing different, I haven't won a fucking flip in ages (and Im usually the one ahead)

fuck it, ILL DOO IT LIVE

how I feel.

2008-12-31T01:23:00.000-08:00

Winter Quarter Starts on Friday and I need to get ready! I have a shitload of things to do for school so I am taking off about a week to get everything in order and install my new monitor, the 20 inch. Finally can 24 table and feel fine with it, I could barely do like 16 screens on my current screen at my apartment.

At any rate, the last week has been an amazing week at 50nl, with something ridiculous like 10bb/100 over 17k hands or something.

[x] ran hot
[x] played good
[x] ?????
[x] profit.

Yeah that about sums it up. I like this little area of break time also because it gives me time to do some book keeping and as well have the next big cashout include my bonus. Then on the 3rd, its super grinding time. Next week, I begin my way from the micros through SSNL, and hopefully towards MSNL by summer.

I am ready to make 2009 a bombass year. But first, I gotta celebrate the new year coming! And with that, I'll see you guys when I am back next week.

This is bullshit. I love making 5 buyins then losing them to 2 outers. over and over again. progress my ass. It's especially weird that once I move back down to 50NL, I know EXACTLY what I am doing and am crushing, but, LOL, losing every all in pot. FUN.

set over set AYE.

Doug's right, I get rattled too easily. Truth is I am not bothered because I know mathematically I win majority of the time, and while the hands up there half are coolers and half are me getting it in thinking I'm good and they turn over AA. lol. At any rate, my non-sd is up still and I am playing excellent imo. Just gotta ride out this fucking variance. Stats can suck a dick btw. Off to bed, not gonna play until monday. Later peeps.

Moving back down.

Sadly 100NL is causing my mind to asplode with overture of variance and swongy-stylings. While I am sure it is just variance, I need to get my head on straight again and confidence levels up. Here's what I mean.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/Epicbubbles/Joogarph-3.jpg

back to 50NL to make some monies and grind fpp's til the end of the year, then back to 100NL on Jan. 1st. Let's do this.

poker blows.

I honestly was bluff catching for a missed flush draw or an AK/AQ type hand. Me and villain have history and it goes likes this, hes the type to fire away all 3 streets with an overpair, and c-bet, then c/f on turn. his river shove is almost always a bluff, and I timed down saying to myself it was either 1010 or a bluff, POSSIBLY 99 but thought he would barrel whole way. Turns out I was wrong.

How to effectively float /deepstacks.

The Switcheroo, The Limit, The Winrate: The Story of Epicbubbles

2008-12-17T13:40:00.000-08:00

As I near the anniversary of my 100th blogpost, I decided that now would be a good time to not only reflect and maybe organize, but give the reader some insight into my background, why I am here, and where I am going.

The first thing I want to say is that I am going to delete all of my older posts and start fresh, new if you would, because I feel one of my bigger leaks is that of bitching too much about super standard variance. In any case, I feel it is not only a flaw but something I need to work on. I ask any of you who read to please stop me, if I IM you simply to complain or bitch about a cooler/bad beat.

With that out of the way, I will tell the story of poker and how I found it, and conclude with where I am today and an update of where I've been the last few weeks. The excitement is killing me, let's go!

The poker boom came and stayed and in 2003, I was struck by it too. Every holiday we would have a poker game with my family where my uncle would just run over the table, and when we would play some .01/.02 HU, he would take my 5 bucks and that would be it. However my thirst for poker never really went away. I guess you could say it is my competitive nature and heart of a gamer that drove me to poker anyway, success as a Magic: The Gathering JSS player and someone who qualified for two Pro Tour's drove me, and it somewhat fed my happiness. It was a good thing, I was only 15-16 at the time and here I was about to embark on playing on the MTG Pro Tour on a semi-regular basis at the top level.

Things didn't go well though.

I come from a strict conservative Jewish family and my mother saw something that wasn't there, she had seen that because I was devoting time to Magic that she thought eventually I would drop of high school to play it (beat) Regardless of being a straight A student who played 2 sports she somehow though I'd lose sight of education, which obviously I never would. At 16, I took my SATs and was made to graduate from high school 1 year early, in an effort to get my "real life on a running start" that led me to where I am today, a junior at the University of California at Davis. My journey to law school (and maybe not anymore) is another story, perhaps I will tell another time.

By the time fall quarter came around and my mom had forced me to stop playing Magic altogether, I decided I was just going to sell off my cards and buy myself something nice.

I dumped $300 in a freshman homegame in one night.

Regardless to say I was terrible at poker but my entire freshman year of college I spent playing poker, sucking, and never REALLY realizing it. Never cared about learning, I saw it as just gambling. It was weird, you would think that someone who took a serious approach to Magic and also school would take poker the same; not me. And so I played and continue to dump money to everyone. I remember one AWFUL beat put on me by Mark (buckbomb56 on 2p2) near the end of that school year. I 3bet AA preflop, he called from the button we see a board of 833. I bet he jams, when I snap he goes "OOPS" then says "I lose"....until an 8 hits river. Turns over J8o, laughs and says "not anymore". You douche. haha.

This is where my story gets serious. I never knew much about online poker, never deposited, and never really talked with anyone. Two poker buds, Amar and Andrei, take me to this homegame at some guy Brett's house. I didn't know who Brett was, but we walk in to his room and everyone is railing him at his dual screen computer.

He was 12 tabling 2/4 or 3/6, and I was amazed! HOW on earth could someone play that many tables? Unreal, I thought, until I discovered it myself.

I'll never forget that homegame, where I had my first big score. It was a .5/1 100max game where I bought in for 60 and cashed out for 230. It felt, so nice. Ate breakfast than back to the dorm to sleep all day and dream about success.

Fast forward to sophmore year, where I am discovering more and more success with poker. At the end of freshman year, Mark told me to start reading twoplustwo, and I lurked for nearly a year and a half before joining. I was playing 25NL 6max, and making a nice little amount to where I could afford little things, never before moving up to 50NL 6max or busting. This process went on all year, where I would grind and make a bit then bust, or just cashout for live roll. I really didn't know much (or what I thought I did) until I "met" Matt over summer.

Matt is who told me to start a blog, began to coach and stake me, and taught me how to control tilt issues. Matt is a very solid guy and I know he's busy with school and shit, so after killing 25NL for 4 months I decided I would look for a 50NL stake/backer and hopefully start progressing my game.

Enter WCGRider.

FULL RING? 100NL? WHAT?

In 2 months, I went from decent winner at 25NL 6max to crushing the 50NL Full ring games on stars, and now onto 100NL, where I have only been for about 13k hands total.

With Doug, one of my biggest leaks was plugged. I could show you how bad my NON-SD winnings graphs were before. In fact, lets look:

http://s354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/Epicbubbles/?action=view&current=50kGraph.jpg

this is just a small example of my 50NL grind, and how imagine, even as a 6bb/100 winner, if my non-sd winnings were positive, as they should, I would have been crushing for a higher winrate.

Doug fixed my problem:

http://s354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/Epicbubbles/?action=view&current=Joogarph-1.jpg

granted it's only small sample and an excellent case of cooler-city/run bad, but still I am so proud of that red line. It's my baby. SOmething I have struggled for so long for to achieve supremity at and gain control over I finally now have. I hope it continues through the 100k, 200k, and 300k hand marks. And by then, I will be in the 5 figure estimates.

With 2009 approaching what are my goals?

1. Go to school every day (I fixed my schedule so its best for grinding, school on tues/thurs from 9-2 ship it)
2. Work out everyday/lose weight.
3. Maintain a +non-SD winnings number.
4. Make Supernova on Stars by April/May.
5. Get a new complete computer setup for the 100NL/200NL grind.
6. Make 10k from stake, then have a 4k online roll and a 3k live roll.
7. Be at 5/10 by December 31st, 2009
8. 100k hands minimum a month
9. Upto 500,000vpps for the year, milestones imo
10. Win a huge donkament (just once CMON)

As the new year approaches and with the help of WCG, I hope to make 2009 a year full of friendships, discussion of strat and theory, sick upswongs and minimal downswongs, and a year that I finally say to myself this is what I am going to be doing for a few years to come.

As sick as it seems, I want to be the best at this. I want to learn, I want to win, and I want to prove to myself and the poker community that if you try hard enough, you will succeed.

One final note, I am actively staking/coaching an IRL friend, Andrew Obolsky. He's crushing the 10NL games on Stars, look him up: ashkenozzy.
