Played a little today as well…not too much though as my as tenosynovitis in my right arm is killing me…oh well…a little less playing around with the iPad2 should help ease the situation…as far as playing today goes, I couldn’t get much going…ended the session with a slim profit…good enough for today…
It’s been a while and the recap of this year’s play is still pending. For the time being, “inspired” by the WSOP, I redeposited a little something on PS and started playing a little.
My “plan” for this “comeback”:
1. Don’t sweat it
2. Just play small stakes when I feel like it
3. Play good
…let’s see how that “plan” works out…
First two sessions in the books and I think I played good (and was on the good side of a few coolers)…special thanks to one opponent who had about the same chance at winning against me as a snowball in hell…he just came back and melted again and again…loved it… 
That’s the one word description of today’s sessions. FUGLY. Name me a cooler and I’ll tell you that I ran into it. Most of those came in headsup play (KK vs AA, AK vs AA, etc), really brutal sometimes. Oh well…there’s always tomorrow 😉
…and what is that? Yes, my money. I can’t believe how easily fooled I am. They come knocking with a 100$ bonus and I fall into the trap. I reload and before I get to 20% of the bonus I’m busto for roughly 1.5 times the whole bonus.
That’s how you do promos folks, reel in the sucker with a promise of “free” money, then skin him alive and laugh at him. Well played folks.
I’m pretty much fed up with all the bs, so I won’t even bother to complain about the “sick” hand here, and “sicker” hand there…I’ll just do one final pic dump and I’m off…never to touch ftp again…the following pics depict my play on ftp from march 6th to march 14th…
1. Oooh, Aces vs Queens and they actually hold up…too bad shorty got it in, winning me a grand total of under 2 bucks…
2. Ace King? Nooo goot, obv 67s00ted is the nuts…standard 3.5bet before the flop, shove on the flop…insta-called…
3. I won a flip? Rigged…exactly! That’s why I lose the next 100 in a row…
4. I fold Kings preflop after a 3bet and 4bet reshove…of course the fonkeys have an ace each…two outs would have been good nontheless…good fold me…
5. Three jacks no g00t…how I managed to lose the minimum is still a mystery…
6. 4:1 favourite? In FTP math that’s like 3% to win…
7. Dominated? You’re going to lose, period.
8. Flopping to set? Not enough against jackAce s000000000ted…obviously!
9. Who needs twenty outs? Noone, three are always enough against me…end of story…
10. If you still didn’t get the memo…I said three outs are enough…
11. Hello, keep up…three outs are still enough…don’t you listen?
12. 3 best is the nuts…I can live with losing with second best…
13. Flopping dem quads is a nice feeling…getting junk kicked afterwards and bubbling…not so much…
14. Best in worst out…always a kick…especially against two undercards…lol…
15. Playing the pros…two thirds and two junk-kicks…just the right ratio to go insane slowly…
16. First hand, always the right moment to run into the BB special…
17. Waw? You still didn’t get the 3out-memo? Wtf…try to keep up…!
18. which leads us to this beauty…
The end…
I think I need a real break from the grind.
Reason 1: I can’t get any traction what so ever, well, if you don’t count accelerating faster and faster downwards into a bottom-less pit.
Reason 2: Poker used to be fun, win or lose, didn’t bother me all that much either way (obv not at all while winning)…nowadays I’m frustrated either way as it’s either a “break even” or slim result (thanks rake) or a devastating loss.
Reason 3: I’m fed up posting bs hand after bs hand, no matter if I put it in 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, preflop, postflop, on the turn, on the river…doesn’t matter…if it’s a small or totally irrelevant pot, sure I win here and there, but come crunch time I get my nuts crunched like they’re walnuts.
Reason 4: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Nuff said…
So, I’m outta here, once again telling myself that I should take a break, let’s see if I can stick to it this time…we’ll see…
…nothing major anyway. Pretty tired these days, so not much action going on. Played four 6max SnGs and one HU. Won the HU, took 2nd twice in the 6max ones…blaaaaa!
After playing some live cards (not poker) tonight, I decided to play a little on Stars…a win here and there, but mostly 2nd or 3rd place finishes…enough to still keep me loser…oh well…satisfied with my play, in “must win” situation, especially three handed I ran into some bad luck I would say, if I have ATs on the button and the BB wakes up with AKo the hand plays itself automatically…oh well…enjoy the short pic dump…
Oh, before I forget it: for all the rush players who happen to be PT3 users as well, check out the newest beta which was just released, it supports rush now…the end of “no data” rush as we knew it…enjoy…
Well, a little bit frustrated about the result tonight…play a grand total of 23 SnGs including 6max, HU and 4player HU (winner takes all). I got kicked in the junk more than I was kicking back…really fugly when people call your all-in on a double-paired board with a ten high flush draw with one card to come…of course they hit…happens…oh well…I’m outta here…some relaxing and a good night’s sleep and I’ll be back…
Yet another even shorter session in the books. Went 3 for 5 in headsup matches. Bla…I guess I’ll grind out some more once the weekend rolls around…time to start earning some more Points towards the Stellar Rewards thingy and my 2010 deposit bonus…
Blah! Played a quick session of 7 HU matches, went 4 for 7…should have been 6…but hey…what can I do…I’m outta here…
