ZOMFG...

I ran hot today... +$600 in 600 hands... AND I GOT sucked out a couple of times... BK apparently turned it all around (let's just hope it continues).. $500 was won just with AA

screenshots:::::: (cause I need to have a record of this)


so, hefty profit for a day.. this certainly brought back some confidence, and again, apparently BK helping me was.. magical..






I am still behind on sets though... lifetime, I am also behind on sets, so I am always behind on sets..

Now for some memorable hands..

Pacific: $3250

this is since I have a handgrabber and maybe a bit before, from party NL25.. anyway.. that's everything from my database...



pacific: $3290

This hand made it so that I didn't finish the day with my bankroll back over $4000..

I feel I played pretty well and I was running warm.. Had this hand stood, it would have been almost as running hot...

I don't know why my Router stopped forwarding the 5432 port although it's set up to do so, so there's no villains stats in there.. for the sake of the hand, I'll look him up

I am satisfied with 2007..

Since I started playing at Pacific and tracking my results with PT in August, I've made roughly around $9000 which I am proud of.

I started in February with NL10, then started with NL10 on Pacific in may (since I deposited only $200) and made my way up there to NL200. I am currently playing NL100 and rebuilding my roll to go back to NL200 since I had some rough patches and I withdrew big chunk of my bankroll.

I will start the 2008 by playing NL100 until I hit $6000 (I have to decide if it will maybe be $7000) and then I will move up to NL200. I will follow the same procedure between NL200 and NL400. The important goal for me is to reach the $10000 figure because after that I will probably be withdrawing part of the winnings every month I play and still preserving the roll to play. I also hope to advance to 2/4 and 3/6 during next year, and if it's possible up to 5/10.

My bankroll management might change since the last time I hit the NL200 tables I started playing them when my BR was at around $4000 (one table at that time). I will adjust it as I go, but I know for certain that I want to be relaxed and completely confident when I play a level.

My goal is to make $40.000 (including rakeback) by playing cash game poker in the 2008.

I wish all the members of livepokerforum a very happy and prosperous 2008!

I think I won't be posting much of my opinions in the Cash section any more. I feel they are not really welcomed there so I'll rather stick to posting my own hands and reading the comments on them. I think that alone will give plenty of things to make fun of for those who are into that..

I am back at feeling comfortable at NL100 after I ended that wretched downswing. I am making money again, but I don't feel like things have turned completely because although I am mostly satisfied with my play (and I play against donks most of the time) I am not showing a profit that I think I deserve. So, either I am still running a bit colder then would be appropriate or there are things that I am massively overlooking/not thinking about.

I've been sweated by BK6 and 3B so far and I think that I played a B game both times (due to chatting, not paying attention and feeling robust because they've been watching). Still, I got really interesting and valuable things from both of them in terms of advice for my poker, but TBH, I was more pleased to chat with them and create a "closer" relationship. I think both of them are great guys and great players. Now it's up to me to think about and apply some of the things they told me and make more $$$$$.

I hope that my roll will be over $6000 by the beginning of the February when I will return to the NL200 tables, or I might add 1 NL200 table then and switch completely when I hit $7000. There's a lot of playing to be done in order to achieve this, so I won't crack my head with it too much.

There was one hand that I though was semi interesting so I'll post it here..
Villain called me a lucksack after the hand and proceeded to tell me how lucky I am in different ways... I think he mislplayed his hand badly.. you be the judges..
