Pokerstars just announced further details for the VIP-Changes in 2013. The "Set your Goal" Promotion , i was very excited about, seems to be very disappointing to me and i wanted to set my VPP-Goal according to this Promotion...
Cant remember not playing poker for 5 straight days this year without beeing on vacation/holiday!
Im at ~80% healthiness (still some cough) but already felt fit enough to play some poker :-)
As i thought tables are very fishy and it was not hard to find 12-20 good ones @ NL50 yesterday and today.
Although i only played two short sessions and focused more on preperations for x-mas... ^^
Overall my Graph for this month developed quite good! Sure running good always helps (if u look at the EV) but i think banning me from tablechat was the best thing i have done past months (beside watching more vids and doing more sessionreviews)!
Should have done way before...
Graph (since chatban, only 10 sessions, 31 hours total in play NL25/50):
Hand from yesterday:
Villian: 86/29 after 7 Hands (spewy whale tendency ^^ )
Good example for leveling yourself...
i tanked nearly my whole timebank and decided to call cause his overbet-shove makes no really sense to me the way he played the Hand! Gave him no single Q (would prolly bet the turn, if not C/F the flop before..) and i showed weakness twice at turn + river ;-( (honestly i thought to myself: "quads or air" ^^)!
Given his style of play and possible Quadcombos(1) i made that decision to cawl...
Happens sometimes ^^
Anyways wish you all a merry christmas so far and may all your wishes come true ;-)
This pic pretty much describes how im feeling at the moment since i woke up on Monday!
Once a year i have a bad cold, this year i thought i can manage without it...
Worst things are the temperature (wont drop since monday) and the "rheumatic pains" come along with it.
I feel like 80 years old and even feel to weak for pretty much everything.
Im a bit sad that i cant join the tables atm since i think with starting holidays everywhere tables getting quite better, but at least i hope to be fit enough to celebrate christmas and maybe join the tables back again at the weekend or between the holidays!
Vpps i really dont need anymore, after reaching 6,5k vpps for december within my last session on sunday, means i maintain Supernova for 2013.
(writing this on drugs, hoping the text makes any sense ^^ )
My slogan "more focus moar money" seem to pay out since i can´t complain anymore (at the tables) about my badrun/cooler/suckouts blablabla !
Still have to add lots of NL25 tables if i want to play at the morning or early afternoon, hoping for the weekend again to find better NL50 tables...
But at NL25 its very easy to find 15-24 good or very good tables with tons of fishes/whales, dunno why they dont play NL50 ?
Running quite good lately and finally managed it to catch back some of the "EV" i hardly missed ;-)
Here is the Graph since my tablechat is blocked:
Overall i crossed the "0-Border" today and hopefully i´ll never see her again for the rest of the month
(life ^^)
Month:
Here is an interessting Hand i played today vs a Reg(fish ?? ) that seemed very tilty after he alrd. had some unlucky Hands/cooler at this table! He wrote alot in the tablechat using capslock i dont understand (some "english-whatever" mix...) but personally i had no real history with this player, only the note he floats a tons !
Stats i got from him: vpip:17 / pfr: 11 / 3bet: 1,6 / wtsd: 30 / 1,3k Hands he also bet vs missed c-bets 83% (16 times) !
Knowing this fact and thinking he was on tilt i decided to play the Hand the way i did, unfortunately (for him ^^) ended with a nother suckout on the river!
Unless the result im note sure about this Hand, took me a while to call the turn (he instabet it) cause i didnt really thought he was that much strong! I think his river shove is very bad (vs me ;-) ) and shows how much tilted he was...
Opinions?
Im still very new to blogspot and all this amazing template/layout and gadget stuff and my blog is still kind of a "beta"...
atm im very excited testing around some layouts i found at the web...
Im not sure if the current version will make it into the "final" one but it looks pretty nice i think :-)
pokerstuff:
Still not the month i dreamed of ^^
Played quite a lot of Hands until now (~ 45k) and got 5k vpp alrd. but with no winnings so far ( more or less BE ...)
Today morning i had to add some NL25 tables again because at NL50 i only spotted 40bb russian tards which is a very big problem for some time now :-(
Lots of Regs complaining at the 2+2 forums about this but i dont think pokerstars will do anything to help us out of this situation...
Not mentioned all those Spots with the "WTF" river, "no he cant have another runner runner ...
He can" !!!
Or chasin draws can be expensive when missin them 24/7 ^^
Followed by some strange Herocalls, and we got a shitty result for the day :-/
blablablubb *whine
Next days i will play shorter Sessions with more focus, last hours to much autopilot!
Alrd. got 2.6k vpp for the month so i can slow it down a bit, also will do some reviews too...
Only 2 Sessions played so far, Month started a bit rough with some cooler and suckouts.
Unfortunately i used the tablechat quite frequently, hope to get this managed till end of the year!
Its so stupid i know, esp. vs teh fishes, but after 2-3 bigger beats/cooler i cant keep my fingers away from the keyboard :-(
Session today was a good one and Graph looks a bit better for the Moment ;-)
Feeling really comfotable now at NL50 and my game is getting (slightly) better. Watched few more Vids and reduced tables a bit (9-14) to have more time to make a decission, so i get a bit looser (but still kind of nitty for other Regs)!
Vpp`s per Hand also increased a bit (from 10-12/100 Hands) so the counter alrd. shows 1.3k vpps for December, not bad considering i only planed for 7k vpps ^^
"Funny" Hand from the Session today vs huge Whale ....
