August Review

I’m pretty happy with my August results. I managed to successfully move up to $100nl, and it’s difficult to envision having to move down. I think most people gave me the end of September as my expected move-up date. I also made someone’s “players to watch out for” list, which was a nice ego boost.
Here [...]

nvm

Sick, I had to stop playing because I was on sick winner’s tilt.

WTF

Moving up is not fun.

Grinding

+$115 at $100nl, -$8 at 50nl, -$15 at $100nl FR (waiting for 6max tables to open).
Finished up $90, which isn’t bad for 2k hands
Played ~800 hands of lo8, down about $60 at 1/2. I don’t think I’ve ever won a pot where I’m holding second nuts, get raised, and think “I’m getting 6:1, what are [...]

4 buyin day

And one of them at 100nl!
Another good day. Poker seems to be going well for me this month, running at 6.5 bb/100 over 9.5k hands. I’m back to 5-6 tabling, I think I pay attention pretty well and I think I worked out most of my major leaks. I’m running really well, but I think [...]

First UF2B Session

We had our first UF2B sweat yesterday. I came in 20 minutes late (40 had it started on time) because my alarm didn’t go off for some reason. The sweat went well, but Dice ran really bad / tilted off a buyin, so the session results were not good.
I also had a sweat earlier with [...]

Reading up on lo8

I started reading the lo8 section in SS2, and even from the PF section I see how many mistakes I’ve made. I’ve overvalued high-only hands and crappy AA, and undervalued A2 A3; I think these are bread and butter hands at the loose low-stakes tables. I’m going to finish it before I put any more [...]

Another lo8 session, I need to study

Seems like I just can’t win for some reason, I dropped about $40 on lo8 playing FR between .25/.5 and 1/2. I’m not sure what I’m missing, but it just seems like my stack dwindles slowly but steadily and the pots I win usually someone backs into a low (people play A2 religiously, I guess [...]

lo8 Session

I tried to watch the lo8 video on BigPoker.ca, but it took me an hour to take notes on the first 22 minutes. It’s very time consuming to annotate Omaha hands. I finally decided to get through the rest later as I wanted to play the game.
First I played 6-max, then decided to move up [...]

August Goals

I feel very fortunate to be a member of UF2B (unrecklessforce2b.blogspot.com). I’m the lowest stakes player, which in a way means I have the highest EV of all the team members.
I’m not sure what will become of this blog, I think if the five of us post our sessions on one blog, it’ll get cluttered [...]
