Nade's console challenge - Failed

[Nade]

Very nice day today especially as i felt ill so didn't play too much apart from 1 tourn.

Made $200 on one table, plus came 11th for $32 in a freeroll put on for players who've made 50k pkr points in the last month. Was chip leader going into the final 20 but lost half my stack to a 4 outter on the river and got a bit hasty going in with K10o after a min raiser who had AK, but i'll take that result easily as think that was my 3rd MTT since i last played a BPP game and that was ages ago.



So that's $197 in cash profit + the $32 for the tournament = $229.

Reason i raise 5bb pre is i raised 4bb the previous hand and so figured if i raise 4bb again people will call me down with crap thinking im making plays so wanted to show extra strength.
On the flop i bet out as it disguises hitting the 10 and i always bet out on flops.
Check the turn hoping to look weak and i get action, not concerned by the flush draw here with the call on the flop, think i can also discount K10 here as they would have slow played it i feel.
Put in a valuation bet on river and get good rewards.

Knew they didn't have KK or QQ as they would have re-raised pre flop (aggressive player) Nor K10 as i say they would have checked the turn but Q10 was a possiblity but never folding there against that player.
(I'm certain they put me on AK)

So 3 days gone:
$380 up + rakeback $165 = $545 or $455 from the 'target'.

With what i've made thus far i can actually get an xbox + GTAIV but a target's a target and said i'd only withdraw when get to $1000

Planning a big sesh tomorrow

[Nade]

Net wasn't working so only just kicked off today .. but why do i always start every day with a big loss ?

My QQ vs KK vs 1010 - Flop 9 high = $300 pot and me nadda.

[Nade]

Today is no longer the 4th April but 'Damage limitation day'.

Just flopped over pair (again) on flop with 99 (raised pre and he called)- i raise other dude min re-raises iv seen this guy go all in twice before with top pair crap kicker so i push reckoning i have some fold equity too ... but no ... he has flopped a set of 4's

So that's ermm ... -$260 after 1hr today

[Nade]

Maybe the comeback is on ...

Straight flush anyone? Yes please !

It's all swings and roundabouts, just made another $80 back with KK, low flop opponent had 1010. Next update in a few hours

[Nade]

Between me and you (whoever's reading) let's jusst call it a 'bad day' .

Still stuck $200 at the moment. Got stacked (again) after hitting set under set . Got stacked not long before on a different table after hitting 2 pair, opponent had a set .

Lost count but stacked at least 4 times today. Ouch. If i was prone to tilt now i'd have lost $1k easy today i reckon.

[Nade]

Ohhhhhh such a perfect day ...

------------

-$307

Just one of those days today where you miss nearly every flop and the ones you do hit end up getting beaten.

Looking back through my last few weeks daily progression this result puts me back into the 'norm' of about average $100 up daily whereas yesterdays big profit was a kind of blip on the map.

How about that for 2days variance Gaf .

Is it possible to lead a quiet poker life? My cash game life has always been the same - up and down every day. Anyone have any secrets to just plodding away not getting stacked much or stacking others. Suppose that could be a bit dull though.

You're still well up, and still with a BB/100 that probably isn't far off what you would expect if you were totally crushing these tables - you've not experienced any significant variance in this challenge yet

You show me a player that isn't like that and I'll show you a game that's probably fixed

[Nade]

Wow. This morning have had AA raised 4bb pre guy calls with 4,5o flop comes 6 high, he hits two pair and boom.
Then i flop two pair - someone else flops a straight and that's another $60 gone.

Ermm.

[GotaFancy?]

AA against 2 random hands will be outdrawn about 3 times in 10 - but you know that

Guess buying in for less than the max might be one way to reduce the swings.

Gut feeling about my own game is that I lose more $200 pots than I win and only make what small proft I do by winning a lot of small pots agressively.
So I have been buying in for half the max which gives villians less implied odds to call, and me less to lose when I fire the second barrel into some ones flopped set.
Having said that I'm going back to Micro's as my hourly profit rate is much the same at $0.05/$0.10 as $0.50/$1.00 and the cat dosnt get half as much of a kicking.

Best of luck with this by the way

[Nade]

Thanks, will have to end the challenge now though and declare it failed as there's too much pressure now to make over 1k in 20days. Running so bad and whenever i try and make moves without cards i'm getting called down with shit every time it's just a nightmare atm.

Still going to buy an xbox for GTA anyway, and just hope for the best poker wise
