6 Max Followup
I sat down at .05/.10, 6 Max ring game this morning to try to clear some of my bonus money.
First pocket was AA.
I raise 4xBB, get two callers, flop comes rainbow garbage and I get one guy to go all in with me. He couldn' t lay down his 66 with two overs on the board. I have $10 in my stack and I fluctuate between $8 and $12 over the next hour. On my last hand I get JJ and the big stack shark at the table raises 9xBB. I put him on something good but he had been aggressive with marginal hands so decide to call and get out if I don't hit my set. Flop comes Jxx rainbow. I check, he bets, I raise, he calls. I bet a little on the turn and a little more on the river and each time he calls. He turns over AA and I take down a $20 pot. "Wheeeeee!"
I liked playing at the 6 Max table. There were basically three of us who seemed to know what we were doing and we took turns taking money from new people sitting down, playing too aggressively and busting out after 20 minutes.
Here's a hand from the middle of all the action that I was particularly proud of. It wasn't a huge pot but it holds up with my assessment that that players at UB are (on average) tighter than the ones at Absolute and will lay down good cards to an inferior hand on occassion.

In other news:
1. I am now, officially, a break even poker player online over my entire career. That is NOT counting bonus money.
2. I am going to try the $5 SNGs and report back after 5 tourneys.
3. My New Year's resolution was to get my BR from $150 to $450. In the month of January I am up to $181.25. I have to feel good about that because that increase represents a lot of $1 and $2 SNGs and play at $.05/$.10 ring games. Hopefully, as I move up to $5 SNGs, that will go up a little faster. Also, my NY resolution requires me to win $25/month on average and I am ahead of that curve at this point just a tiny bit.
4. Bonus money on UB clears VERY slowly at the .5/.10 tables. I was involved in a lot of raked pots today and I cleared a little over a dollar of my bonus.
First pocket was AA.
I raise 4xBB, get two callers, flop comes rainbow garbage and I get one guy to go all in with me. He couldn' t lay down his 66 with two overs on the board.

6 max
Anyone ever tried 6-max limit games? I'm experimenting with it some at low stakes (5/10 cent) as a way to work on clearing UB bonus money - you earn points much faster than on the full $25 NL tables and for far less risk. So far I'm doing pretty well (finishing a session up more often than down), not that I have a great deal of idea yet of how to correctly play shorthanded limit games differently... but neither do my opponents, I think... and it sure is fun. Lots of action.

One of those nights
I strayed from Absolute's $6 SNGs tonight to try Party and UB $10s again and was, I believe, given cause for a minor whine at least (indulge me). Two bad beats at Party to start me out and I've got that good frustrated/ticked off feeling going on but decide to try my luck at UB again, and, well...

Argh.

Status Update 2
Well, my tournament stretch is the exact opposite of Shane's. I'm playing more of them and I'm having my best month ever. I started off the month bad (1 for 7). Since then, I'm 19/28 in $10.00, 1 /1 in $5.00 and 0/1 in $20.00. ..and I've currently placed in 5 out of 6 (1st twice). This makes me up $197.00 in tournaments this month. I'm thinking I might have to move up to $20.00 if this keeps up.
Status Update
Well, I didnt quit poker. I decided that I would move to tournaments only for a while. That way when I tilt there is a limit to how much I can lose. I can say that it has helped. I havent been getting personal as much. I have been playing my hands rather than trying to bust the asshole.
That being said, the poker gods are pissed that I have a child. I am still losing. Here is a list of my finishes on Ultimate Bet over the last few days. These are all $10 NL Holdem tourns: 4th, 3rd, 3rd (Not terrible so far, huh?), 5th, 7th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 4th, 4th, 4th, 4th. Lets add to that the 5th place finish when Idecided to play the $20 tournament. If we calculate all my losses for tournaments played on UB for the month of January you get a grand total of $158.00. This is now about equal to the amount I had lost on the ring tables before I posted my first whining blog. So, here is part 2. Still whining.
There is a slightly tarnished silver lining I guess. I am up on Party playing the $5 tournaments. I am too lazy and frustrated to calculate it, but I think I am up around $60 or $70 on that site. Also, I still have enough bankroll to play a few more $10 tourns on UB. Although another night like tonight will make me drop down to the $5.
I guess that is all for now. I will post when I go broke of course.

The previous hand, with $400 of my $650 remaining chips forming the small blind, I got dealt 99. Dratt called UTG, so I folded what was surely the best hand preflop rather than throw my remaining $250 into the pot. I thought that hoping Gilbert couldn't survive his forced all-in in 1 of the next 2 hands was a better bet than taking 9s to a showdown 3 handed.
Using an odds calculator, I now figure that if I assume 2 overcards were held against me in a 3 way pot, I'd be 44% to win. 3 overcards instead makes me 40%. Best scenario is they share an overcard, and I'm 54% to win. Not terribly likely though. A few percent lower in all cases if someone is suited. Let's say on average I'm 45%.
What do you figure Gilbert's odds were to survive the next 2 hands? One time in 3? Then if my objective is to finish in the money, I'm 45% to probably do so by calling there with my nines, and 67% to do so by folding them. What were my odds of finishing higher than 3rd if I call and win? I'd have been up to $1950, but paying $1200 in blinds over the next 3 hands. Not great, but I'd have some chance.
Folding the 9s is a real wimpy move. But I'm still thinking it was a good one, all in all. Agree? Disagree?

The Evening News
Tonight's 3rd and 5th place finishes make it 8/13 for ITM. I could have done better in my third place tourney. There was a hand where I could have extracted a lot more chips from a bad player when my A9 flopped top two pair. The turn came with a K and for some reason that made me check - as if he limped into the pot with AK! Pure mental mistake. Oh well....

I hesitate to leave these $2 SNGs - they are such bad players
Yay! That's 2 wins in a row. 7/11 for the money. I need $15 more in my br to move up to the $5 SNGs.
Here's what I love about poker. I love it when I get to the last 4 of a SNG and I'm the short stack and I KNOW that I can still win. Not that I'm a genius, but I feel some pride in the fact that I can consistently outplay the folks on the $2 SNGs.

Worst Timing Ever
So, I'm playing a 10.00 tourney...I've been heads up with this guy for like 45 minutes..and I finally take the lead on him. The chip count is about 10,000 to 5,000....and thennnnn...my connection goes dead....for about 5 minutes. When I return, Shane informs me that 5 minutes was just enough time for this guy to buy my blinds and win the whole thing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I've still placed in 6 straight tourneys though....so, at least it didn't kill my streak.
arthurbryant - you owe me $20.00!

I Hate This Game
So I have been on a sever downswing the last couple weeks. I get a good pocket and it misses. I have a monster hand and the river kills me. I get a draw and it misses. I get 2nd nuts and lose to the nuts. This game suddenly hates me. Example:
MOBEYDICK: -- --

These 3 hands illustrate something: I am becoming (or am just realizing I have always been) a bad poker player. Let's skip the first hand and move to the second. Why do I slowplay the flop and turn only to raise on the river when I have let the enemy draw out? Could I have played this hand worse?
Now, the 1st hand I dont think I would've played any differently. AK limped and let me bet into him. I played into his hands and would do the same every single time. I am not upset about that hand. However, that hand led me to the 3rd hand listed. I played angry. I allowed a big loss to upset me into playing stupid. Extremely stupid. I suck. I should cash out. See you around. Maybe.

ITM 6/10 and a First Place This Time
Most insane SNG I have ever seen. In the first round the guy who would become the big stack knocked out 1/3 of the table - two players on the same hand. By round THREE we were down to four players. At this point I picked up some chips when I slow played my flopped nut straight (when the tight player calls you after the flop, again on the turn and then goes all in after you bet on the river you are BEAT. Though I am glad you called. Wake up and smell the nuts you chowder head!) That was the maybe the fifth hand I had played where I wasn't the BB.
We got down to three and I took the lead from the big stack when he raised all-in against me preflop holding 99 and I had 10-10. I thought it was kind of a donkey play on his part considering that the blinds were still small and he could have found out where he stood by raising 5xBB and that I probably would have laid down most hands there that were not at least a race against 99.
The lead went back and forth for awhile between the three of us. One guy gets his Cowboys cracked by the former big stack's 44 and we finally have a true short stack. Then comes the moment I am most proud of.

Obvious reasons to call: I've put in nearly half my stack already, he could be bluffing, and I don't know if this guy's an idiot or not.
I took a good moment to think it over, and then.... well, what would y'all have done?

** Dealing Flop ** [ 6s, 8c, 7h ]
Obar1029 bets [$5]. (does he have a set or a worse overpair?)
lrlr1 is all-In [$19.47] (I think it's an overpair.)
Obar1029 calls [$14.47]. (crap, now I think it's a set.)
** Dealing Turn ** [ 3d ]
** Dealing River ** [ Qd ]
Obar1029 shows [ 9c, 9s ] a pair of nines.
lrlr1 shows [ As, Ah ] a pair of aces.
lrlr1 wins $43.19 from the main pot with a pair of aces.
So he had an overpair plus an outside straight draw. 10 outs. Only a small dog after the flop. I did well to have my hand hold up, but now I'm nicely up at the table.
Next hand I have A3 in the small blind. I call (well, I do have good odds for 15 cents). Flop is J42 rainbow. Checked around. Turn is a 5. I manage to win $6 from a guy who thinks his pocket 6s may still be good if I'm betting the 5.
From about $15 to $50 in 3 hands. Sweet.

I figured I needed a distraction...
So I sat down at a 60 cent sitngo at Absolute and placed second. At one point I went all in for my last 350 chips with A9o and got two callers. I tripled up with...... Ace high! Then I caught cowboys a few times and our bubble boy went on tilt so I was suddenly INM. I had a big enough stack to wait for good cards and I busted the other small stack. Got all in against the Big stack with 88 and he drew out against me with his Q10. I am now 5/9 for INM since I started keeping track again.

It's the guy who hits his inside straight draw...
I had the implied odds to make this call, right? Right? (Feel free to comment on the virtue or lack thereof of the lead out bet on the flop, too).
