A short session to end the day. I came to a little conclusion. i hate flush draws, I never seem to get paid off with them when I hit them, and every moron with a flush draw seems to get there every freakin time. Right now I would swear that a flush draw is 2:1 favorite vs two pair.

First fun hand of the session. I post after the button. I get AQ flop is AQ3 with two spades. UTG bets out $5, 2 players call. I raise to $25 if they all fold I'm ok with it. UTG moves all in for another $50 or so. I call he has 45s I have the Qs. Turn is the 9s, so I still have outs. I miss and lose my almost a full buy in. The session got no better from there. I saw a bunch of pocket pairs and didnt flop a set. I must have pissed aay $30 calling raises with PP and folding. And for the second time this week my win $ at SD was 0%. Grrrrrrrr

I started to feel guilty about not keeping my spreadsheet up to date, so I put in all my numbers up til this point. As much as I bitch and moan and call myself names, it has been a better year than I could imagined. My goal for the year was $8000. Of course I have played more than I had anticipated but if online keeps going well, I could more than tripple my goal this year.

Just so i can once again remeber why I hate party and skins, I signed up for an Intertops account for the sign up bonus. I know party just released a bonus but I have never seen the games this dead. More than 50% of the $50 tables with a VPIP under 20%??? WTF what happened to the worst players of any online site?? Of course being totaly card dead didnt help. I played 628 hands.

I played AKs, AK, AQs, AQo 14 times and only flopped a pair 2 times.
32 pocket pairs and I flopped 2 sets. Both in un raised pots and I made a total of $1 after the flop combined in both of these pots.

My VPIP is back where I want it 16.88 a little low but I had really cold cards. The funny thing is it auto-ranked me as weak tight. I have only gotten to showdown 11% of the time. When i miss every flop and then dont get any action when I have a big hand it happens. Anyways I bled off approximately $50 which sucks since the damn bonus is $100. I have 150 more hand to play and I can go back to bodog and prima. I have IGMPAY bonus;s for empire, pokernow, Intertops, and Multipoker that I still need to do but maybe I'll wait til this bonus period is over.

get off of there! you know better!! it reminds me of trying to play pokerstars....no matter what i do, i will lose, lose, lose.

party is not your site and frankly the bonus isn't worth your time.

and thanks for the kind words earlier btw. i'm sure you'll reach 1/2 and 2/4 in no time. thats when the money gets interesting..let me tell you

I swear its like the dog that pee's on the floor and gets smacked with the newspaper but still continues to pee on the floor. The money really is worth it at party, it comes out to be $25 per hour just for the bonus and if by some fluke I could actually win a pot over $5 or flop a set in a raise pot more than one in ten. I should be able to make $30 per hour at worst.

I'm really not worried about the amount of money in the 1/2 and 2/4 games its more my comfort level. I play much bigger live games, but I feel much more comfotable in a live game even if the stacks are much bigger. I have the roll to play 2/4 right now, I just dont feel comfotable enough that I want to make that jump. My goal is to make enough at .5/1 to not use any of my live game winning for my online bankroll.

The difference between live and online is really stange for me. I get AA playing on Bodog, someone raises in front of me, so I reraise and my freakin heart starts racing and I only have $100 in front of me. Playing live I can have $1500 in front of me and not move a mucle when I flop a set after calling a $50 raise against someone I know has AA. Its all in the comfort level i guess. I really feel like I have to grind to win online, playing live I feel like I am always in total control.

Another frusterating session. Two really bad hands. After calling a min raise from ep with AK. Flop is KK6. He checks I bet $6, he calls. Turn is 9 and the second heart. He checks I bet $20, he calls. River is a brick. He checks. I bet $30 , thinking I;m value betting my hand. He raises all in for $30 more. I call, he has 99 for a turned boat. This is the 3rd time in my last 5 bodog session that I have run into a set with trips. The next hand about 30 min later. I get KQc OTB. I limp flop is [10c] . UTG bets out $5, I raise to $15, I wanted to either get all my money in on the flop or get myself a free card. He calls, turn is the , he checks. I bet $20 there is no way he could put me on a flush draw right. He moves all in. I call he has A2c. This has been a frusterating run the last 5 days. I have now played over 1000 hands on Bodog and only flopped one set. Without PT I dont know how many total PP's that is but without flopping sets, I cant make any kind of money. These players are so freakin horrible and all I have been doing is sitting back and folding, I feel weak tight. I did flop my first set in 4 sessions today and made a little bit of money. I did make a little comeback after getting stacked twice. Hopefully I am due a rush.

Stats for today:
Time: 1:45
Hands: 212
Win%: 9%
Flops seen: 27%
Showdowns won: 41%
W% WSF: 32%
Total: -$73.21

Is it to much to ask for for just one hand I make to actually win a pot. I decided to play on bet365 since they have a nice bonus to clear. Pretty much the same shit as has been going on for the rest of the week. I played 8 pocket pairs without flopping a set, 5 of which I called raises. Finally this fun hand. I am the button with 45d, BB raises $3, I call as does one player behind me. Flop is AQ3 with 2 diamonds. SB bets out $10, player in between us calls so I just call. Turn is a Kd, it checks to me, I bet out $40 and get called by the BB. River pairs the K. He pushs all in for $40, I have to call and he has AK. This is the third BS way I have lost a stack at the .5/1 today. I am done for the day before I put my fist through my monitor.

For the 45 minute session I played down $90 on this BS hand.

Also played a session on Bodog right before. 63 hands +$35 short stack went all in with 99 I called with KK and the best hand actually held up once for me. Though add 63 more hands to the set drought. I am not up to 1173 hands with only one set on bodog. Its a miracle that I am almost even.

Is that better???
