Also, the other day I passed the 50k total profit mark with my poker playing and casino whoring. Shipit!! Report from my shot-taking at 1000NL in a week or so. ]]> HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-03-27T22:32:55+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/995 The last week or so I have been incorporating some new ideas into my game (see my 100k hands checkup thread ) to try and bring the wr up to 3+ptBB/100. I also got a little kick in the confidence butt by Irisheyes (thanks! ) when I wasn't feeling like I could be a long term winner at these stakes, now I feel totally comfortable at any table of 600NL on Party. That said I obviously still table select well and try to stay out of the way of the best regulars. The bankroll is now at 34k, which means I will now start sniffing at the 1000NL game. To begin with I will only play when known fishies from my buddy list are at the tables, and I guess I'll just take it from there. Tomorrow I'm leaving for the easter holidays. I will be taking my laptop with me but I'm not sure if I will be playing any poker. The last time I was away and was playing on my laptop I played horribly, it is a 12" so it's kinda hard to multitable on it and it hasn't got PT or PAHUD installed. I've been meaning to learn a little Omaha, so I might use this time to look into that. I will also be reading up on theory, hh's and watch a shitload of Cardrunners vids. Hopefully I will come back with a new perspective and be a better player for it.

So I'm going to get better at table selection, possibly across several sites. I used to just open up the tables with the biggest avg pot, but now I use PAHUD to scout out the tables before sitting down. I'm looking into programs like SixthSense and SpadeEye to help me with this, so if anyone has experience with those or similar let me know. In poker strategy, after reading the FTR Book club discussion on preflop raise sizing I've begun opening to 3xBB to be able to cope with reraises, and also to have more manueverability (sp? ) post-flop. Small sample size but I think I like it. I also started reading Phil Gordons Little Green Book today (got it from the FTP store). I've only read a little bit of it, but I'm liking it so far. It seems to deal with general thought process related iss ..]]> HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-01-31T12:23:39+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/938 HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-01-25T11:13:04+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/933 Anyways, I'm just gonna quit playing there at all, I'm not good enough for that game and there is no need for me to stay there when there's more money to be had elsewhere. Some will perhaps say that I should learn to adjust to the more aggro games, but for now I really don't care. I'll have to re-adjust when I move up in levels anyway.]]> HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-01-21T18:27:01+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/932 comment thread are very welcome.

Got a little drunk and played some 5cd draw 50PL too, and actually ended the night down almost 100$. Don't try this at home, kids. ]]> HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-01-19T13:10:56+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/930 HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47 2007-01-16T20:37:44+00:00 2007-04-07T11:28:40+00:00 tag:blog.flopturnriver.com,2007-04-07:/archives/46/928 LG KE820. This thing is so cool, it's soooooo small, thin and light. Speaking of new toys, I've decided to build a new computer. I'm a silence freak so it won't be the most powerful one out there. If anyone wants to help me in the search for parts, I have a thread over at silentpcreview.com.. Now to the poker talk. I played two 1.5-hour sessions of 8-tabling 400NL on FTP today, basically breaking even at -0.09ptBB/100 for 2500 hands. The two extra tables did add alot of stress, especially when I was trying to change out a table or two. I think I was a bit overwhelmed, and it was difficult to keep track of opponents as well as my own image on all the tables. I did not get good reads at all. So I basically just took standard-ish lines, and made some moves every now and then. Also I made too many loose calls of reraises preflop, this is a leak that will need to be fixed asap. Hopefully this will change as I get used to more tables, if not then I don't have a problem with going back to 6 tables. I also think that I will need to start using PAHUD again if I want to keep playing 8. This time around I won't be using as many stats as before, I think I'm gonna go with the basic PFR/VPIP/AF and perhaps WTSD. I'm now 4.27ptBB/100 over 8500 hands. Hopefully I'll get in another 15k hands this week for a more meaningful sample.]]> HalvSame http://blog.flopturnriver.com/profile.php?id=47
