NL50 for Life??


Looks like I am NL50 for Life....

Since I dropped down to playing 14 tables I have had good results in terms of winning sessions.

I have won around 25 Sessions while losing around 14. If I can maintain this level of session success then my monetary results will begin to improve.

After I changed my table structure I clawed back all the losses that I had made in Feb. I then went on to lose them yet again, raaaaaarrr. I am now clawing them back. Generally I am playing better but I still go on mad spew every now and again. If I can eliminate this then I think I will win again.

Some interesting graphs from post my table changes on Feb 4th (By Level):

NL200








NL100






NL50















This is a small sample of results but it shows that maybe I should stay at NL50 for a while before launching back to the 100

6 Week Festival of Fun Begins

The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket World Cup and will be jointly hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The World Cup will use Cricket's One Day International format, with fourteen national cricket teams competing.

The event will take place between 19th February and 2nd April 2011, with the first match to be played between co-hosts India and Bangladesh facing off at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.

The first round of the tournament will be a round-robin in which the 14 teams are divided into 2 groups of 7 teams each. The 7 teams play each other once with the top 4 from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals.

The format ensures that each team gets to play a minimum of 6 matches even if they are ruled out of the tournament due to early defeats.

Teams qualified for the World Cup


Group A                       Group B

Australia                       Bangladesh
New Zealand                England
Pakistan                        India
Sri Lanka                      South Africa
Zimbabwe                    West Indies
Canada                         Ireland
Kenya                           Netherlands


The 2011 Cricket World Cup winning team would be taking home a prize money of US$ 3 million and US$ 1.5 million for runner-up

This should be a entertaining event and will definitely interrupt my online grinding... hopefully not too much

For the Non Cricket Fans (probably 95% of readers) here is a clip of my favourite player Sanath Jayasuriya destroying England

Big Daddy is in the House


Big Daddy was a British professional wrestler famous for his record-breaking 64 inch chest.

Known for wearing his various Big Daddy leotards, his original one was emblazoned with just a large "D" and was fashioned by his wife Eunice from their chintz sofa.

Today I feel like a bit of a Big Daddy

For dinner I enjoyed a large Domino's Pizza with Garlic Bread and Chicken Wings, washed down with some full fat Coke. In a word it was delicious.

As a poker player the amount of exercise I do has reduced as I spend lots of time on a chair in front of a screen. When I was working at least I would walk to the car, then drive to work and walk to my desk, lol. Eating these unhealthy junk food meals has also helped to bring me to my worst fitness level ever. Also after a knee injury about 4yrs ago I have difficulty running and playing football so have stopped all of that. This has also added to my bad conditioning

I didn't realise till I jumped on the scales today for the first time in ages that I now weigh the heaviest that I have ever weighed, a whopping 13st 7lbs (189lbs). At 5'10" this is hardly obese compared to others in the UK and US (Fattest nations on earth) but for me personally it is unacceptable. All my life I have been a sports person indulging in various activities at an amateur level.

The point of this post is to kick start a new fitness regime. My cardio work will be based around using the cross-trainer machine. This has no impact on my bad knee, so I can sweat out 5k sessions as often as I like.

For the last 4yrs I have set myself the challenge of doing 100 gym sessions each year. I have failed every year so far. Last years tally was around 27. This year with 47 days gone I have been to the gym a pathetic 4 times.

From tomorrow I will aim to go to the gym 5 times a week and do at least 5k on the cross trainer. I will also do weight training for strength.

Stay in shape poker people........

The Last Seventeen

The last seventeen sessions that I have played have been sessions with less than 14 tables in play.

In my previous post I spoke about how I wanted to spend more time to make critical decisions while at the felt. Today was a prime example of where I had 2 big decisions to make and both times I found the fold button.

If I had been 24 tabling they would both have probably been calls due to the time pressure. Whether I made the right fold or not I don't know but the point is that I tanked almost all the time and folded. This should be +EV in the long run.

Stars have now stopped new 20-50bb tables from being started. There are still around 70 tables up n running from NL50 - NL200. These will eventually die and finally disappear next week at the server re-start. I have noticed a few more bad players at the 100bb tables already.

The results of my last seventeen sessions since I changed tactics on the 4th are visible below. My hourly is pretty bad but I am winning again and that was the main goal. I will step up my daily hours now with this set-up. If I continue to win I will drop the NL50 tables and only play 100 n 200.




Lets hope that all the whales and the fishies come to play 100bb pokerz

A New Focus for Feb


I used to drive a focus years ago but nowadays I'm pretty happy with the Lexus that I drive.

I not getting a new motor but the focus for Poker has all changed for Feb. My SNE challenge is now on the back burner for the rest of the month. I am not giving up as yet but it is looking more unlikely that I will pursue the 6 Star Status.

I am not rolled to play 24 Tables of NL200 and not completely happy with my game even if I was.

In Jan I spent a lot of time playing the NL200 20-50bb tables. I hate them. Its 2 street gambling poker with the skill taken out the game. Maybe I just need to learn how to play with the Short Stacks, lol. Anyway, I couldn't beat them so I joined them and became a short stack scumbag too. That didn't work out too well either.

So, on Feb 4th I went back to what I know (kinda) and love... 100bb poker. I also dropped 24 Tabling. The games have got harder, of that there is no doubt..... but when I used to win at poker and consistently win I was playing no more than 10 tables and thinking through my plays well. I have to be honest with myslef I and also acknowledge the fact that I struggle with 24 Tables.

For the rest of Feb I will try to win money at the tables, simplez.... I will play no more than 14 Tables at any one time. I will attempt to be in the black this month and get a $1,500 bonus also. I started this challenge down from the first 3 days of the month, down around $700.

Its now around 2am on 9th Feb 2011 and I have played 9 Sessions of upto 13 Tables of 100bb Poker between NL50 and NL200 since 4th Feb. I have won 5 and lost 4 Sessions.... 2 of the losing sessions included a $6 loss and a $0.09 loss, so basically even. I am really enjoying it. I know I could play 24 CAP Tables and make Elite but I don't think I would enjoy a whole year flippin coins.

I want to build my roll during this month and try to play 18 100bb tables from next month at NL200 but as a short stacker with $80. Eventually if it works out I will build slowly and be able to sit full stacked. I have spent time working on my game also last few days and will do more of this.

Game on........

Peace

January 2011 Review


The first month of the year has come to an end and for me it has been an epic fail. I was down almost $6,000 at the tables at one stage before recovering slightly at month end.

I started the year with a very positive outlook and an attempt at SNE was to be my primary goal.

It all began at NL100 where I began 24 tabling while trying to gain 2740 VPPs each day. I believed firmly from my calculations that this was feasible at this level. However it soon became clear that I was regularly getting only between 0.21 and 0.25 VPPs per hand when I had forecast the year at 0.27. This meant that I need almost 9hrs a day to make SNE instead of the 7.5hrs that I thought. Dam.....

I had been inspired by the SNE story of player dannyohboy who worked a full time job, had 3 kids and made SNE at NL100. He only sleeps 3hrs a day btw, insane..!! I thought if he could do that, I could easily do it without a job and any kids.

My main problems were a terrible start and a poor initial bankroll. January the 2nd or Spewfest Day as I have named it saw my attempt fancy play after fancy play with occasional bad beats thrown into the mix. The culmination was my 2nd worst day ever and almost 13 BIs down at NL100.

I continued at NL100 for 6 days and was then at around 20 BIs down and around a day behind SNE pace. I decided that the SNE chase would be too hard at this level and had to be carried out at NL200. This was also mentioned to me by player OMGBentley.

Since I did not have the roll to play my normal 24x 100bb Tables I decided to try for the first time the gamboool that is 50bb poker vs the 20bb short stacks. This meant that I would still sit down with $2,400 in play but with the increased VPP rate. I knew my ranges and strategy had to change to counter the edge the SS player gains from the All-in shove move that they continually employ. This form of poker is far less interesting and basically eliminates 2 streets (Turn/River) of poker as u will find your stack in the middle on the flop or pre.

I haven't played well until the final week of the month and have suffered many bad beats while being ahead with all the money in the middle. This took me to around $6,000 down by around the 23rd of the month. At this stage I got quite negative about the SNE chase and decided to have a few quiet days. WBCOOP began and I decided to play most of the events. During the day I played DoNs and Fifty50s with a little bit of NL200 and in the evening I would fire up WBCOOP.

I did well in this Series of Events, Final Tabling 1 and cashing in 3 events altogether. I also finished high up on the leader board and was the top player from the UK.


Doing some analysis on the bigger hands in HEM I can clearly identify around $1,500 in spew this month. I used to be so solid after I had played poker for a year. Now coming up to 6yrs experience I seem to be tilting more and more. Note to self: Eliminate Spew

I successfully cashed for the 3rd time in a row in the Turbo Takedown. This gives me an additional repeat cash bonus.

I am now around 10 days behind SNE pace and my goal for Feb is to try to close the gap by playing the 50bb tables for the first 10 days. Then I will switch to the 100bb tables but I will only play 10 tables and work on my game. I have to become a winning player again. If I can do this then I will go back to 24 Tabling and pursue SNE again, if not then I will play less tables and aim to be a winning player in 2011 and ignore VPPs. I may also add in a few new sites to my play if this scenario plays out. Stars is often touted as the toughest site out there. I am interested in and have been looking at William Hill. If anyone has any experience of this site I would be grateful of some feedback particularly with reference to traffic, software and player ability at NL100+.


The final numbers for January are as follows:

164,000 Hands Played
55,334 VPPs

-$5,380 (Cash Game Losses)
+$ 159 (Tourney Winnings)
+$3,000 (FPP Cash Bonuses)
+$ 600 (Stellar Rewards)
+$ 200 (TT Repeat Cash Bonus)
+$ 237 (3x SCOOP tickets)
-$ 30 (New Mouse)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-$1,214 (Total Month)

See you all soon

WBCOOP 8-Game


Today I played the 8-Game for the 1st time. I have only played 2 out of the 8 games prior to seating so I was pretty much clueless.

I 1 tabled this event while watching a movie, TV programmes and surfing the interweb. As it turned out it was one of the most enjoyable poker days in a while. I had to figure each game as I played. I had web pages with notes on each game open and learnt and played.

The Games are:

1. Limit Triple Draw 2-7
2. Limit Holdem
3. Limit Omaha H/L
4. Limit Razz
5. Limit Stud
6. Limit Stud H/L
7. NL Holdem
8. PL Omaha

There were 652 entrants and I managed to finish 72nd and collect my second SCOOP ticket this week.

One of the funniest hands was when I didn't realise that the game hand changed from Razz to Stud. I was playing the nuts in Razz, but the game had switched and I went crazy betting and re-raising when my hand was useless in Stud and I lost a Huge Pot, lol.

On Monday in Event 1, I final tabled for a 5th place finish and a $215 SCOOP ticket. I will get a few more WBCOOP leader board points today which might take me into the Top 10. I am out tomorrow night so I will miss the NLH event but I will play in Sundays Main Event Final. This will be my last chance to get big points to Top the Leader Board. Basically I need to win the main event to top the leaderboard and take down the $5,000 1st prize.... You never know..

I will also play the Turbo Takedown and attempt to get three consecutive cashes for the triple bonus.

My SNE attempt has been put on hold this week due to running and playing terribly month to date. I will be back on it from Monday with a few decisions to be made game wise. Pokerstars have announced changes to their cash game line up. The 20-50bb tables will disappear and be replaced by CAP tables. I have been playing these 50bb tables so I will now go back to the full-ring 100bb tables. The game quality may improve due to the recreational player pool from the 50bb tables probably moving to the 100bb tables. This is yet to be seen as they might opt for the CAP tables.

This week I have also tried the new Fifty50 Tables and played a few DoNs (Double or Nothing) to vary it up. Its been a fun week pokerwise. Making my best MTT finish made this a memorable week.

Cu soon

WBCOOP Event 1 - Made the money, lol


WBCOOP event 1 is currently in progress as I write this.

I have made the cash (or ticket prizes in this case) by getting in the top 200 for a ME Ticket and also by getting in the top 153 I get a SCOOP $11 Ticket.

I have just trippled and now have 20k chips, lol.

The funny part is that it's Pot Limit Omaha which I have played like twice before in my life... haha

I pretty much have no clue what to do... a bit like holdem then... hehe

One of the first pots that I won was against fellow Blogger VOLTASTYLLO where we both had a 4 on a 44AAx board, I assumed it was a chop for both our Full-Houses but in fact neither of us had a boat and we both had trip 4s and I had a K kicker, lol.

This is no consolation to how crushed I am at the cash tables but it is making me laugh

Anyway, there are 102 left and I'm still alive and currently in 24th place

Peace
