Ahhhhh. New month, fresh start.. right? Atleast that's what I always think when the calendar turns to 1 again. Yesterday I started off grinding 5/10 and 3/6 eur. Not the best start I could've wished for.. actually the worst I could imagine to be honest. Wanted implement my new stoploss and stop at -4 buyins, but in the middle of closing down all the tables, it all rambles and I loose another one. Around -5.3 buyins for the day, which ofcourse isn't nice. But not that catastrophic either, I think I'll manage to cope with that.
Here's the most painful hands of the day:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699445 - AA against a 69/18 superdonk. My line is akward, but I'm good here most of the time.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699450
- This one is.. just.. sick. 5% for a win. There you go. I'm not even gonna mention his call pf oop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699448 - QQ vs bad regular with donky tendencies.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699451 - AA against a legendary fish, I squeeze from SB. He shoves. Std? Frustration arises.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699454 - QQ HU against a random donk.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2699444 - 22 flops boat. Could certainly make arguments for shoving turn, but in hinsight I think it's fine, considering he's got air and draws in his range. My rivercall is merely a manifestation of helplessness, tilt and stupidity. Oops.
Besides grinding.. I'm almost done reading The Poker Mindset, but I'll talk alot more about that when I'm done. I'm gonna continue reading Elements of Poker afterwards.
Btw.. as promised here's my final graph for May:
When trying to cope with a swing, It always makes me feel a little bit better when looking at my graph with a much bigger samplesize. 354k hands:
It's been a week since my last post. I've been taking a vacation, visiting a summerhouse in Denmark with my girlfriend. I wasn't able to put in that many hands during that time, being on a 11" laptop combined with a very unstable wifi net isn't the best thing when it comes to massive grinding, and vacation is vacation. As I've mentioned earlier, I've had a bet with Flortsch this month. 60.000 hands in May. As of now I got 10 hours left to reach my goal, and I'm still missing ~7k hands. Slapinthefacewakeupandsrealizeshowfuckedupyoureallyare kind of day. I'm sitting in a train right now, so the time is running out. I could multitable like an autistic kid for the next 9 hours when I get back home, but I just don't think it's worth it. Besides.. Flortsch needs to know how it feels to win once in a while.
Past 2 days I've been visiting my coach in Århus along with fellow grinder Fredholm. It's been very educational. 3 poker geeks talking about poker certainly is fun and is intensely affecting my game. Yesterday they convinced me to go to a driving range. 2nd time golfing ever, and today my back hurts like hell. I wish I had it on tape. Mindblowingly display of talent. The white Tiger some whispered across the course.
I'm going to Vegas this summer in july, staying the whole month if I don't get sick of it. Which definately could happen. I've never been there before. I'm traveling with 3 friends, so it should be good times good stuff though. I think I pretty much have to give main event a shot, and qualify through a sat. But besides the main event, I think we're going to play alot of live. Which I truly hate. One table, 10 people, turtle dealers and 8 hands an hour. I really hoped I was able to play Boss Media from the states, but unfortunately that isn't allowed. So I'll figure out some other network to grind at, when I get tired of playing live.
May has been good, with some ups and downs, and some minor tilt once in a while. Logged a really solid month, so I'm pretty happy with that. I want to grind like a madman in June in order to make up for the Vegas trip. I'm gonna miss boss media, that's for sure. No bets on number of hands this time, no pressure, just good old grinding. Later when I'm back home I will post some hands, a graph and whatnot.
Btw, I was at the movies last week and saw the new Indiana Jones. Damn, it was nice to see him back in action. But seriously, the story was frustratingly bad. I have no idea what those two fuckups had in mind when they made this movie. The ending was so horrible I almost laughed. It kind of made me sad, cus I'm a megafan of the old movies. But I got what i expected.
