Hodgey's cash games

[Hodgey]

I too was inspired by the mole late last year and decided to give shorthanded cash another go. I will keep it all in here from now on.

Here's a short summary of how it's gone so far:

Dec-07 +$252

Of which most of it was played on 0.10c/0.20c table giving $132 and the rest on 0.25c/0.50c giving $120

So I've stuck with the 0.25c/0.50c table but it's not going so well this month, mainly due to a poor session on the 6th:

Jan 1st +$14
Jan 2nd +$19
Jan 6th -$153
Jan 6th (2) +$49
Jan 8th +$2
Jan 9th +$31
Jan 12th +$6

Jan -$32

Overall +$220

[Hodgey]

2 sessions today.

First one this afternoon I went from $20 up to finish $9 down. That was 2 sessions in a row that had happened - I preferred it when I started off losing and then fought back!

Then another one just now yielded $43 profit.

So Jan 13th +$34

Jan +$2 - back in the black for the month.

Overall +$254

Cheers mate.

Just played at Nordic for a bit to get my raked hand for tomorrow - and made a dollar too!

So it's now Jan 13th +$35

Jan +$3 - back in the black for the month.

Overall +$255

[Hodgey]

Got my $50 up to about $70 with some solid play. Was going to stop there after the last couple of sessions where I give it all back. Stuck with what i was doing and then these two hands came along.

That was probably my most solid session so far. Felt in control, stayed disciplined with no rash moves and it paid dividends in the end. Happy with that.

Jan 14th +$55

Overall +$310

[Hodgey]

15 mins for $22. Happy with that. A bit tired so left it there, besides I kept thinking getting dealt 8 or under was good tonight!

Jan 18th +$22

Overall +$332

[Hodgey]

A weird session earlier. It was a pretty loose table and I ended up playing rather loose too.

Throw in:

a bit of sledging;
AK being beaten by 88 preflop after raise, raise ,re-raise, all-in;
then AT getting it all back 2 hands later;
AA on the button getting no action;

and I ended up $16 after 67 fast and furious mins!

Jan 19th +$16

Overall +$348

[Hodgey]

A topsy turvy day. Played this afternoon far too loosely and lost $74. Walked away for a bit, then went back for another stint and recouped $23. Then had another go this evening and got another $27 back. So overall it's a loss of $24.

I think I should stop playing Sunday afternoon's!

Jan 20th -$24

Overall +$323

This is poor play from me I know. I called the raise in the hope of the flush, not pairing my ace. Called the flop bet for two reasons - it may have been a C-bet, and there was one diamond. The turn is a killer for me - the other ace on the board suggests he doesn't have one. His all-in suggests he did and I should have folded there (or probably way before actually). Still, writing it here should hopefully stop me doing it again.

In between those hands, I got a few dollars back, so I'm $70 down at this stage.

But a flush beat someone's 2 pair to get $50 back and some other smaller pots meant I ended up $5. Settle for that after a poor start.

Jan 26th +$5

Overall +$344

Nice going so far Hodgey.

Cheers mate. Must admit it's been tougher than I thought it'd be. That's probably cos I hit a bit of a purple patch at the end of December and perhaps thought it was easy. Plus I've also had 2 nightmare sessions in Jan costing $152 & $74 respectively so I guess to be up $100 in Jan overall is not bad considering.

Played 2 sessions today. First one finished $12 down mainly due to one very poor play from me which I can only put down to boredom/frustration due to lack of cards. I must remove that from my game.

Second session was better and finished $21 up. I had a few situations where I've hit a pair and drawing at the nuts/much stronger holdings but never got paid off big with them. Like these:

Hey hows it going on Prima lately Hodgey? I been playing a bit back there lately at 0.25/0.50 and 0.50/1.00, "variance" been killing me but I'm up $200 for the week, would love to see how much I should be up though lol.

You found any really fishy players? I have a few names if you want 'em, but I don't get how the buddy list works, looks like you have to get them to accept an invite in order to add them which isn't ideal and doesn't help game selection. Any ideas?

Cheers, Rob

Hi mate. Nice going to be $200 up for the week. I haven't had time to play much this week - just that sole 15 mins on Monday.

I don't write any notes down, but I do use the colour coding buttons at the table and I have a few with a green tick on them. The trouble is of course I can only find them by opening all the tables up - maybe I should write a list. Sure, PM the names you have if you like and I'll see if I recognise any of them (hope I'm not one of them! ) and see if I have them as green next time I'm in. I can then send you back my list as I compile it if you like?

[Hodgey]

So my end total for January was $114 profit. As said earlier, I was a little disappointed with that but considering I had two sessions giving a combined loss of $227 I'll settle for that.

I played 22 days in Jan and only had 2 losing days, so again fairly happy.

The ironic thing is this was gonna be the year I really gave cash a go, and after one month I have made a small profit but Jan was my best ever month for MTT winnings with $700 profit!

A couple of summaries:

Table	Time		Buyin	Buyout	Winnings	$/Hr

25c/50c		21 hrs 21 mins	$1812.80	$2047.62	$234.82	$11.00
			$2,350.80	$2,717.18	$366.38	$9.14
