I got the same invite and also didn't accept.
today i had what felt like a pretty shitty day.
games were fishy as allways in the weekends but i didnt get enough out of it.
i experimented a lot and fx tried to cc premiums against aggressive fish and stuff like that. sometimes it worked as intented and sometimes it turned out bad.
towards the end i was allin preflop with KK against 2 others with another 8bb deadmoney in the pot. I lost to 89. he picked up a str8 on the flop.
im running quite a lot below ev and donk factor today but my bb/100 was 6,39 which i guess isnt bad at all. i played 660 hands today.
i think i should consider only playing 4 tables in the weekends so i can get more value from fish. im not complete sure though because then i play 50% less hands of course. its just hard to note down all the fishy weekend action when playing 6 tables.
in other news

Update: i feel better now.

god damnit i fucking overslept and missed most of the action today. i will probably play tonight instead. i have lost a bit of control over my rythem of sleep but i should have that fixed in a few days.
my lamp should arrive today so hopefully that will help as well.
if i keep playing this little then i might even have to lower my target further. to like 2500$ maybe.
i wonder, do you think that the game in the christmas holiday will be like in weekends?
Hey buddy.
Ouh, tell me about sleeping rythems
My sleeping schedule is just horrible..
And i hope that tables during Christmass could be really soft.. I mean its gonna be cold outside, everyone will be at home having free time with xmass mood willing to donate poor semi-pro grinders such as you and me ♦

yeah, it sucks right? and its so hard to turn back around.
just finished a 100 minute session and i was doing very well until the last 10 minutes where i think i tilted a bit. all in all im up around 80$ but i lost at least 80$ to bad play. maybe more. a
here are a few thoughts:
- think i gotta completely quit limp/pushing cause that move is simply no good without stats. jstu got my aces cracked and i just dont think this move is anywhere near ev+ for me.
- i made some pretty extreme squuezes but i think that was ev+. i even missed a super squeeze spot once with AJ. too bad.
- i also made some very aggressive play in freeplay but i also think that was ev+. i.e. check/raising 35 on 457r board HU. i had a read though that my opponent would bet allmost 100% here. so i think i had enough FE.
- i chased a dude after putting him on tilt and lost allmost a full doublestack. i can forgive myself the first 15bb that i lost but i should never have stayed at the table and i should never have played like i did afterwards. way too loose and spewy.
its like that thing they say: Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
i feel the same way about donkey's: never battle a donkey because he will drag me down to his level and beat me with experience.
i should have just taken my doublestack and left.
my lamp has just arrived ♦ gonna try it out after a shower and during my next session. yeah, thats right, u heard correctly, my next session.. im gonna play 2 sessions today ♦ if i manage to shrug that tilt off me but a shower usually helps.
will update later

I have this quote in my Magic online profile for a couple of years already. It's genial.

i just finished my 2nd session. it was pretty short cause there wasnt any action left towards the end. today im left with a feeling that i should have gotten more out of it. i missed a few profitable spots and made a few errors.
but i guess its allways kinda like that. i very rarely feel that i have played 100% correct after a session. how about you guys?
i tried out the lamp and i think i could allreadt feel an effect. but it could easily just be something i am imagining like with a placebo. its well documented to help though so i dont doubt that really.
at first it was a bit annoying with the bright light but once i got used to it i didnt mind.
i have played a total of 850 hands and i will see if i cant play a bit more later today.

Hehe, its nice to see how your mood changes from happy to pissed to sick to happy again ♦
"i very rarely feel that i have played 100% correct after a session. how about you guys?"
Hmmm, like never
btw whats about that special lamp? What is it for? I kinda missed that and since im lazy i cant look for it ♦
lol.
well its for winterdepression. in denmark 2 of 3 persons suffer from winter depression which makes people eat and sleep more.
and light therapi can prevent that. i dont really know much about the technology though, except that it is well documented and accepted as a treatment for it.
its got something to do with waking up in the dark and getting home in in the dark.

mmh... I defenately suffer from it too. :/
Hopefully the snow that fell yesterday will change things!
Anyways, keep me updated on the lamp! ♦
well its very likely that you are. sure i'll keep you updated.
just got home from running and im wet and tired and happy
feels good! ♦
today i had an awful day
i have just played an hour and im down 60$ incl. rakeback and bonus.
i have pretty much only played nl400 today so far and i just feel dominated.
but im sure it was just bad luck. not the loosing coinflips kind of bad luck, but like getting 3betted all the wrong times and stuff like that.
typical off day really just too bad it happens when i move back to nl400. but i do also think that the level is a bit higher on nl400.
anyways hopefully i feel better after a shower and then im gonna return and kick some ass.
UPDATE: well i returned for 10 minutes but things just went to hell. i believe i was tilting pretty hard.
i started to opencomplete or coldcall my monsters and stuff like that, im really disappointed with myself. if i had just played my A game i think today could easily have been profitable.
im certainly not going to play more today and tomorrow i will just return to my nl200 grind. i will soon return to nl400 though cause i know i can beat it and a lot of the players are the same. i will also try and see if i cant make myself play a bit more simple again and not make so many coldcalls and slowplays and that kind of stuff.
oh.. i just realised that i wasnt listening to music while playing today. i usually allways do that. i think that could be part of the reason why i tilted and played so bad.
UPDATE2: well i got myself motivated to play another session with the intention of playing a bit more simple. and so i did. i lost quite a bit again but i dotn really feel too bad about it. i was pretty card dead and the cards i had ran into setups against better cards.
but i feel better now. incl RB and bonus im down 280$ today. pretty sick i have to admit considering i im not even running much below EV.
but i made many mistakes and had my premiums cracked a few times because of that. my premiums (QQ+) brought in
-72$ today.

i also ran really bad yesterday. i lost 260$ on NL100. I played exactly as normal but ran into 6 pairs of AA. my monsters were continually cracked by donks on the turn or river. i was even expecting this as i was running so well recently. but i couldnt stop playing as i wasnt making mistakes and when i realised i couldnt win no matter what, it was too late lol.
it seems about once a month i get this doom day where im desined to lose
yeah its bound to happen every once in a while.
but it can really shake ones confidence.
i dont really mind when im just running way below ev cause that can allways be blamed on bad luck but on days like this were even the ev line is way below b/e its tough.
but i did also play quite tilty.
im really hoping for a good day tomorrow so my confidence can be restored.
Best way to regain confidence is to review the session. You can then see if the results were because of setups and such.
you are right.
since i play so few tables i am pretty much aware of the mistakes i made and why i lost so much money.
but i will still review it:
mistakes:
- cold called when i should have 3bet
- completed when i should have raised
- called when i should have raised
i also lost some money on stealing. but im not sure if i should reconsider my LP game.
i give up my steals hands quite easily usually because i discovered a while ago that i lost a lot of money cbetting too much with trashhands in steal situations because the opponents either c/c or c/r.
so my LP flop play is quite passive now. and often also the turn play. on lower limits i allways fired del. cbets though. worked like a charm.
i might have made 1 mistake though when i reraising AI with A5 on the turn CO against BB on a A high board. he showed AQ. but i just figured that he would make that bet with so many hands that i would have sufficient equity. cant really put him on a range now though so its impossible to calculate
my winnings from steal situations in december are: (these are just FI PFR from those positions of course)
CO: 175 hands 190$
BU: 184 hands 229$
SB: 160 hands 312$
this was in a period of 7500 hands.
would ishindar or rahx or Tac3narf please post something similar so we can compare?
edit: sry about all the edits. i just keep finding spelling errors and things that should be specified.
