15K Hands

Imagine riding a push bike very fast for a long time only to have some monkey poke a stick in your spokes bringing the bike to a sudden halt and send you tumbling. That's my last 3000 hands. I managed to play this over the course of the weekend against some very bad players. I lost around 5 buyins, 1 due to tilt. Here are some of my highlights....

This last one shows to me I was tilted. There is no way I would ever think of doing this unless I was really pi$$ed off at the time.

UTG raises to $5 (alarm bells should be gonig off but the tilt monkeys have disabled them) He has been playing solid so repping a big pair or AKs/AKo

2 callers make a nice pot but AJo oop is bad. Im only hoping for a KQT board or AJx. Highly unlikely, I think a fold is due here.

Top pair top kicker (TPTK) he pushes all in for a huge overbet. I should have folded. I guessed my mind was sucked in thinking that this was a mid pair 88/99/TT that didnt want a call. So I called. Bad Play!

The other hands above were just bad luck. Im ot sure if I could have played them any differently at the time. Maybe I need to bet turns a little heavier but I am giving incorrect odds to chase draws but when they hit I feel i'm committed to the pot.

Apart from those beauties I have been battered around the virtual felt. The usual bad beat story of missing every flop, cbets being raised and big hands getting no action.

But, that's poker and Ive been here many times before. Step back, remove tilt, analyse, continue.

I need to really get my game perfected to play the 60/11 40/20 50/15 monkeys that sit at these tables. I should be winning some good $ here.


Graph and overall stats

Bankroll $2120 (High was around $2650)






I will be playing a mix of $0.25/$0.50 and $.50/$1 until i hit $2500 again. Onwards and upwards......
