What's Your Edge

I played some low limit games last night for about 30 min before I went to bed. I played some omaha 8/b and stud. I have a pretty good idea on how to play 8/b, especially HU. However, stud baffles me. When I play stud, I feel like its 5 years ago and I've never played poker before. The game is just set up so different than flop games that I really have no idea what to do. Also, the fact that its limit and not no limit just complicates the issue more. I always struggle some with limit games. I think the main thing is that its hard to bluff. I know you can still run bluffs in limit games, but its nothing like nl. NL you can really put the pressure on by making big bets that are very difficult to call. That simply isnt the case in limit. Also, I think that takes a lot of the fun out of the game. Nothign I love more than running a huge bluff. That being said, I am pretty tired of just standard 6man nlhe lately. Thats why I've been playing so much PLO. When I do play nlhe, I've mostly been playing HU. HU nlhe is fun, because you have to make decisions every hand. Also, hu play has more of a mental aspect to it.

Im sitting at the end of a 300 yard field basically in the middle of nowhere right now. Its probably about 30 degrees and I've been out here a couple of hours. I have like 8 layers on so I'm staying pretty warm, but my cold fingers aren't making it easy to type on my iphone. I've seen about 10 or so deer this week with two of them being bucks. One was a spike horn and the other was either a small 6 or decent 4 point that I opted to pass on. Its about 30 min from dusk right now, so I'm hoping to get some action pretty soon. Its pretty amazing that i can get internet on my phone like this. The dial up at the cabin is so slow that its not worth using. This phone internet is decent. The crazy thing is that as little as 2 or 3 years ago cell phones didnt work at all up here. Lol whole typing this i just declined a call from 000 000 0000. The only time ive had calls like that, its been from UB trying to get me back on their site. Theyve offered me some crappy deals like $100 bonus and some prwtty good deals too. I think im probably done there for good though. I like ftp a lot and its easiest to just play one site imo. I started the book The Kite Runner yesterday and finished it today. I had heard great things but I dont think it really lived up to the hype. It was a bit too depressing and also pretty unbelievable at times. It was still a decent read and it also informed me more about afghanistan and what's happened there over the past 40 years. Ive gotten up at 530 three days in a row. Its kind of nice to make the day so much longer. Its really not that bad getting up either if i drink some coffee. Im thinking im going to start getting up an hour or so earlier when iget back home. Ok, enough typing on this mini keyboard. Gonna focus and hope a monster buck stumbles into this field.

the weather here is really something else. 3 days ago it was like 60 degrees. I ran to the gym in shorts and a long sleeve tee and was loving life.

now there is 6 inches of snow out there (from eyeballing it at least) and it will be hell to drive anywhere. i'm going to trudge through the snow, get a workout in, then get a breakfast wrap at this place i like, then veg out for the day.

i actually really like the snow, but i hate cold weather. its fun to be out when its snowing, but im not sure its worth being cold when its not. i really think i'll move somewhere warmer when i grow up. i dont really know where that place is, but im open for suggestions.

Its beed a while since I last updated. Its been a swingy month so far, and most the big pots havent gone my way. But hopefully things will turn around soon, I had a bad day at the tables yesterday lost about 500, but today I came back strong and made about 700. it feels good to have a good comeback, but I havent been able to achieve my monthly goal, which was to make 4k.

I think Im up over 1k, but its been kinda frustrating, cause Ive put a ton of hands to my standars (25k). But the month is not over, so hopefully I can have my 1k day soon and go on an insane rush in february.

This hand summarizes my month:

POKERSTARS GAME #14522215065:  HOLD'EM NO LIMIT ($1/$2) - 2008/01/13 - 03:57:46 (ET)
Table 'Kamenyar II' 6-max Seat #2 is the button
Seat 1: Helox ($277.25 in chips)
Seat 2: CamoJr ($247.15 in chips)
Seat 3: Bazuko ($271 in chips)
Seat 4: jouf ($235.75 in chips)
Seat 5: Sharkman1951 ($203.05 in chips)
Seat 6: bzat4 ($221.10 in chips)
Bazuko: posts small blind $1
jouf: posts big blind $2
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Bazuko [6h 6d]
Sharkman1951: folds
bzat4: folds
Helox: folds
CamoJr: raises $5 to $7
Bazuko: calls $6
jouf: calls $5

jouf: bets $6
CamoJr: raises $22 to $28
Bazuko: raises $236 to $264 and is all-in
jouf: calls $222.75 and is all-in
CamoJr: folds
*** TURN *** [9s 6c 4s] [4c]
*** RIVER *** [9s 6c 4s 4c] [8s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Bazuko: shows [6h 6d] (a full house, Sixes full of Fours)
jouf: shows [4d 4h] (four of a kind, Fours)
jouf collected $503.50 from pot
CamoJr said, "wow"

That and running into  TONS of set w tptk or over pair, lets just say Im down w AA and KK for the month.

But i'll keep my head up and keep grinding, cant wait to get my dual 22''s set up at the apt.

Sick quads hand. Hope you run better than this. GL in the future... we'll talk some pokah or something. Nice to see you moved up to 1/2nl. Lemme know if you need some help transitioning. !/2nl is where aggression really start. Biggest jump is from 1/2nl to 2/4nl- that one definitely takes time and effort. Took me a few months to make a solid transition where I could consistently win at 2/4nl. But that's way off topic hah

Hi, guys sorry for the lack of updates, Ive been kinda busy lately and took a couple days off from poker.

I played one of my longest sessions to date 2500 hands, thats a lot to me. I 7-9 tabled 200Nl and 1 single 400Nl. 

 

I ran the all in  luck graph and aperantly I should have won about $1200, oh well what are u gonna do. Im just glad I was able to crawl back from the whole. I ll post some HH later, its 6 am now and I better go rest.

ps my normal stop buy in loss was of 600, but i never noticed that I past the 700 mark!! Oh well, I guess I get a little extra room since I was playing a 400Nl table, Later1

I'm getting so pissed off. I can not win a hand. Literally. I CAN NOT WIN A HAND. I literally cringe getting all in because I know I'm going to lose. I know its only variance kicking me in the ass but Its getting fucking sick. Over half of my profits from last month have been erased. If I can get to even for the month I would be ecstatic really. Its going to take a miracle. Looks like this could be my first losing month of poker since....well ever. FUCK ME AND DOWNSWONGS.

Sorry I keep whining and shit, I know its boring and no one really wants to hear it, but I just had to get it out. I'm really looking forward to going to NewYork just to fucking take a break. FML

there's no shame to drop down to ride out waves. don't focus on getting even -- focus on playing your A game; there's nothing you can do to control beats. watch some vids, sweat some people (ahem! ;-D).

you'll be thru this soon.

Dude, got bitter? Cunt is a cute word, but not in the context your using it. Talk to somebody- quickly

"talk to somebody-quickly"....you have no idea how bad I want to rip you apart for being such a \$#&*% But I will refrain because I would assume your life is so pathetic that is what you want.
