Random thought

KoeBawlt, Jul 21 2012

Is there a word for when something mundane and common suddenly seems alien? I just wrote down the word "broadway" and I stared at it for about 30 seconds thinking "broad" is an impossibly strange spelling and there's no way that's how it's spelt. The o before the a just looks so weird but I've wrote that words at least hundreds of times in my life.

Also when I say a word many times in a row it starts sounding like it's not a real word any more.

I don't think I'm making any sense so I'm just gonna wrap this up

Super fish on my right

KoeBawlt, Jun 24 2012

I got jesus seat on a super fish. This guy's beautiful, he'll ship pf with almost anything and is only slighty tighter postflop. Dud'es sick lucky tho, I've lost 8 buyins to him so far and he quickly ships those to the guy on his right.

This is still less tilting than MTTs

-e- Most tilting thing is that I feel obliged to sit when I'd rather go out for a smoke. I just got a a bit under a buyin back though (rake is annoying)

-e- fishy finally left, table instabroke, and damage totals at 7 buyins

Excuse me for a moment, I like to have a cigarette after I get fucked

Recent Fun

KoeBawlt, Jun 08 2012

I just finished playing a session at the 10NL deepstack tables. I play at most 2 tables, try to focus and be give myself strict stop-losses. The last part's necessary because I'm usually not practicing great BR management when I do it, but I think ultimately it's not bad because A) If I lose at most 2 buyins I drop down and get it back from 5NL fishies, B) The player quality is significantly higher (although not too high) so I think and learn more as I play, and C) It's way more fun and some of these people just giving away $25 every once in a while.

It's super likely that I'm getting cocky after a run of positive variance (I think I went from low $200s to $300 today; and this session I ran at 100bb/100). I posted a blog about tilting (not really worth reading in case you're considering) - it definitely affects my game - and I think I'll have to be careful that I don't tilt from this hot streak. One thing I'm worried about is getting too comfortable at the tables. It happens to me if I've been winning and it leads to terrible play. Because of that I'm not sure if I should stay at the 10NLDS tables or not. I think I'll put 2bi to it and reevaluate if I lose those.

I'm going to post some hands in spoilers below in case anyone is interested. I've included commentary/questions/context at the top of each spoiler. If you do check some out and have the time I always appreciate comments on my hands

I think I'll summarise by saying that I definitely ran super godly well over these few hundred hands. I'm trying to work aggression into my game at these tables as well. Not too aggressive (I'm not looking to try to 4b light pf), but it seems that the players fold (a bit) more than at 5NL.

-e- PS I ran into this video and it's very cool
