2/21/2010 (14 Hour Satuday Session)

This is a long post.  It includes commentary from my 14-hour session.  Hoping to review again and find a few mistakes:

1:10 p .m

Session under-way.  Regular raises UTG.  I bump $37 all in pre with AK off on the button.  Just don’t let him have AA please.  Ok he folds.

2:00 p.m

Somehow I’m card dead on 4 tables for over an hour.  Oh and these tables are absolutely pathetic.  I shift every 5 minutes and still can’t find anything playable.  It’s 50% regular rocks, and 50% short-stackers.  This is REALLY FUN.  How do 5 idiot short-stackers sit on a table with each-other and think it’s profitable in any way?

2:50 p.m

$30 all in pre with AK off.  $60 pot lost against QQ.  COURSE NO FLIP.  Winning that yeah right?  So fucking predictable.  I’m playing about 6 tables so something has got to give here.  I should really cut back to 4, but whatever.  Oh if I raise early and 8 people fold around I’m instantly leaving the table.  NO questions asked I am not wasting my time.

3:10 p.m

I attempt a steal from late position on a super-tight table with QK off. I flop top pair king, queen kicker against a short stack opponent.  He leads out $8 on the flop, I bump to $32 all in pre.  THE MOTHER FUCKER TURNS OVER K 10 OFFSUIT TOP TWO PAIR. GREAT CALL MAN, nice to get rewarded when you play like an idiot.  Are we seriously going to do this the entire day now?   Or should I just leave now and save the 6 fucking hours I would put into this bullshit rig???  I just can’t avoid getting screwed no matter what.  Another day same bull-shit result.  Not even that mad, it’s just expected.

Just got raped out of a 40 FPP buy in tourney.  AA gets smashed by KK all in pre.  The tool-shed flops a king.  I knew it was coming.  Absolutely standard.  At least it wasn’t on a cash table.  HELL WHY THE FUCK WOULD A TOURNAMENT BE ANY DIFFERENT THEN THE REST OF THE SITE?  WHEN YOU’RE RIGGED YOU’RE RIGGED.  Fucking disgusting I don’t care how small of a buy-in it is.

Just busted out of the 30,000 VIP weekly AQ < 66 all in pre.  I just typed that sentence before the board even came out.  That’s obviously NEVER WINNING.  Oh incredible snap call with 66 preflop that was necessary as well.  Amazing how that holds on to win.  If I snap called preflop in a huge tournament with 66 my opponent turns over AA, and a gun comes out of the monitor and starts shooting at me.  And thanks for the Ace or queen you fucking bull-shit site.  Taking a break.  This has been by far the most disgusting load of shit I have ever experienced ACROSS THE BOARD.

I’m somehow down $-142.00 in 2.5 hours. 

Going to text this drop dead gorgeous Russian Girl I met at the bar last night.  No clue what she was doing at that shit bar, but she somehow lives 5 minutes away from me.  I also found out later from one of her friends that she had a boy-friend.  No surprise, a girl I’m actually attracted to not having a boyfriend would be like be dodging a 2-outer on PokerStars; not very likely.  But that being the case I don’t know why she gave me her number and was flirting with me hard-core.  Maybe she’s looking for a back-up, girls do that all of the time.  Then again it’d be against my morals not to at least text her, and she told me to contact her.  Though I don’t expect her to get back to me.  We did have a damn strong connection for at least an hour.  I don’t think we stopped looking at each-other the first hour we met.  And you wonder why I’d rather get fucked over on Poker Stars then actually go out on a Saturday and get screwed over by some girl.  What the hell is the point?  Nothing good ever comes from me going out.  Then again nothing good ever comes out of playing on STARS.

I guess when I come back if I ever regroup I will try to keep it to TWO TABLES until I actually find two PLAYABLE TABLES, and work from there.  UGH FML.  Brutal day so far.  I didn’t experience a full double up in those 2 hours.  That’s almost impossible.

4:00 p.m

And I’m off.  Here I go again.  I’m going to act like that first session never happened.  I’m not sure how else to look at it.  This is basically a new session.  My attitude has been shit and I’m going to try to change it.  Things aren’t going to keep going this bad.  I just have to keep doing my research, pick my shots, and get my money in with the best of it.  That’s all I can do.

4:30 p.m

Pretty much had to rebuy up to $40 on ALL FOUR TABLES.  Not one hand worth raising in 30 minutes playing 4 tables at once.  This is b.s is obviously ending no time soon.

Lost a full $30 with AQ all in pre.  Guy turns over AA.  The donk LIMPED IT pre.  Amazing.

4:40 p.m

First double up of the day QQ> A7 all in pre.  1 Double up in about 3.5 hours while 4 tabling.  That has got to be some sort of record.  I’m looking forward to the pending crash and burn on the 3 other tables.  Not really, but I can kid myself.

5:00 p.m

Just made a bad play on table 2.  It cost me $6.  Some guy raised $6 pre and I Called on the button with AQs.  Calling here really isn’t an option it’s either all in or fold, but I decided to revert back to being a moron for whatever reason.  I wasn’t sure the guys range, but I didn’t want to just fold so I called.  Worst play I’ve made today, but it only cost me $6. 

Another KK dealt and 8 idiots fold around.  Leaving the table instantly.  Fucking terrible site.

 5:20 p.m

First AA dealt of the day.  Some guy joins and dead bets second to act.  I bump to $6 preflop from the small with no action.  Dead-better calls pre with 59 SUITED AND FLOPS THE miracle fucking STRAIGHT.  Speechless I have nothing to say.  The disgust with this session continues.  Here’s what I will do.  Every-time I log on for the rest of my fucking life I will look you up and sit on your god-damn table until I get you back for that call.  I wish you the worst you one-tabling son of a bitch.  Same guy just sucked out someone else’s AA playing K7.  He rivered the straight.  At least it was against that punk Yugor.

Table 4 all in $40 pre with KK.  It actually holds vs AQ.  Would have had a nice run without the AA suck-out mentioned above.

5:40 p.m

Cold called a $10 raise preflop with AA in order to keep the donk in I have been watching.  The regular raised $10 pre and I knew if I re-raised I would chase the guy I was watching and the regular would pathetically surrender his $10 bet.  I needed to call to have a chance of getting paid.  I end up doubling up as the donk commits $36 on the flop with bottom pair 2, jack kicker.  I don’t have great position on him, but the guy is so bad that it would seem against my morals to leave.  Even though I have $95 on the table and staying is against my general strategy, whatever.  The tables are so bad right now that it can’t hurt.  Not giving a Russian girl a chance to ruin my life is also against my morals.  Off topic?  Yeah well if you don’t like it go screw off somewhere else then.  I texted her about an hour ago and no response.  Whatever, she’s not even true Russian.  She’s from Ukraine, bull-shit fucking satellite nation.

6:00 p.m

Doubled up all in preflop to $90 on table 2.  Opponent called my 4-bet with 88 pre-flop.  My QQ holds and it’s obviously a miracle.  I played that great.  Same increment raise I made on a steal earlier in the same position.  I think two previous steals threw him off my range there.  Still not a great call against my 4-bet, but I guess he is commited and you have to assume my range includes AQ and AK at least.  Maybe even 55-77.

6:30 p.m

Just limped UTG with KK on table 3.  Wanted to hopefully establish position on two really bad players a few seats away on my right.  Instead a short-stack regular raises to $7 and the action folds to me.  I reraise all him and he CALLS with 10-10.  Dodged the two outs and doubled there.  I really dislike his call.  Well with regards to my end result, just thought it was a bad play that he could have avoided.

7:00 p.m

All in pre with JJ.  The worst player on the table calls and the fucking clown-box hits his QUEEN holding AQ.  Could have used a flip for once.  What an ass.  Any other time he’s calling with jack-shit.

$35 all in pre with KK on table 2.  FLOP ACE FUCK YOU.  Idiot super-user short stacker holds AA AMAZING.  Nice $100 pot lost on another bull-shit cooler.   Again I must be losing overall on this site with KK.  I’m almost sure of it.  And I mean all in preflop or with the overpair KK.  I never over-play the hand but, it continues to be instant rape for me.  I would almost rather KK take down $3 in blinds rather then get any sort of action with it on STARS, that’s about all the hand can do for me.

7:30 p.m

Taking a break and eating dinner when the blinds hit me on the 4 tables.  Somehow I finished up +$23 in the last 3.5 hours despite not being able to win a race to save my life, and getting coolered to hell.  But for the day still down $120.

Might also take a nap after I eat and put in a monster session later.  Still don’t feel great from going out last night.  I wasn’t planning on it, but it was one of my best friends’ birthdays.  I’ve already played 6 hours today and it hasn’t been going great at all.

10:00 p.m

I feel refreshed after smashing that nap for sure.  Phone is on silent, my friends hate me as much as STARS, and I’m back.  Doubled up early KK > QQ all in preflop.  Leaving table 1 with $72.  Entered an $11 rebuy tournament like an idiot.  I haven’t had much luck with these, but I wanted to mix this session up some.

$31 all in pre on table 2 with AK offsuit 3-betting.  TWO-CALLERS.   Idiot holding A-10 off splits the pot with a straight.  Horseshit.

10:40 p.m

Smashed $40 gone with a table clearing up.  3 people.  I hit mid pair 7 ace kicker.  OPPONENT HAS THE 810.. top pair 8 AND IT HOLKDS.LMFAO.   With his range I had too.  What a lucky son of a bitch. 

11:00 p.m

Just clicked a $6 fucking call by accident on the river with five-high.  Maybe playing too many tables wow.  When it rains it pours.  Good thing he didn’t go all in amazing.  That was embarrassing and could have been much worse.

11:30 p.m

Lost a huge pot all in pre with JJ vs KK.  Standard cooler.  Getting fucking screwed tonight.  6 tables and I’m failing to get anything going.  I think my mult-tabling is messing with my ability to select more profitable tables which is never good.  The guy with KK on that last pot was ironically the loosest player on the table.  #Hilarity.

ALL IN 40 preflop with AK off.  Two callers with 99 and JQ!..  Idiot flops a QUEEN WITH JQ OFF AND WINS  $110  fucking WOW.  Like usual the aces and kings were all in a distant universe somewhere.  Down to 4 tables plus the $11 rebuy which I will bust soon.  Down over $100 in an hour and a half.  The usual.

11:50 p.m

Absolutely pathetic.  Riase pre-flop to $10 with 10-10; called by A2. Off.  I go all in on the flop with the overpair, he calls, and TURNS THE ACE BABY!  I JUST CAN’T WIN.  That’s all there is too it.  $11 REBUY BUST KK < 67 OFFSUIT ALL IN PRE.  HE RIVERTS A STRAIHGT.  WHY DID HE CALL THAT EXACTLY?  WHAT THE FUCKING MOTHER UFCKDSIGZXKL”DGqsh.  Yes that was me mashing my keyboard incoherently.  I’m thinking about quitting for the night.  I can’t take another idiot calling all in pre with 67 and winning every time.

12:20 a.m

Just took the worst suck-out of the night.  I bumped to $20 pre-flop 3 betting with QQ.  TJ suited donk calls and top pairs a ten, jack kicker.  HE THEN CALLS $30 ON THE FLOP.  Turn BLANK CALLS $25 MORE ALL IN.  RIVER JACK (awarded his stupidity with a two pair on the river).  That’s it game over.  I can’t regroup from that so I have no clue, but I’ll keep fighting like the stupid shit I am.   $150 pot gone.  Instead of up to even on this session I’m down $150.  The mother fuck sits out after it as well.   The site is absolutely dead right now.  And I’m really sick to my stomach to be honest.  I’ve felt low from the game the past few weeks, but this is by far the worst I have felt.  I can’t believe he hit that river.  I’m going to see it in a nightmare tonight I’m sure.  I might as well play 4 180 turbos and play bingo.  There is absolutely no difference what I do on this site.  I just can’t release this rig off me.

12:30 a.m

Back to playing two tables.  The guy who sucked me out came back and he’s two seats to my right.  He has almost $500 on the table.  I bought up to $75 on that table in case I ever get another chance.  So I can get ripped apart by another atrocious suck-out.  I have no faith in anything right now.  And certainly not my ability to dodge any sort of two-outer against this guy, even if I am in fact dealt another hand tonight.

12:35 a.m

All in pre-flop $37 on table 2 with QQ.  I get one caller with JQ suited and hold on to actually win a pot.  A ten on the river would have gave him a straight.  I thought it was coming.   How could I not at this point?

1:00 a.m

Just tripled up on table one and took down a huge pot.  Leaving the table with $150.  I flopped trip queens, ace kicker.  Two opponents and myself were all in on the flop.  One was chasing a flush draw, the other had trip queens +8 kicker.  Dodged the suck-out and NO SPLITS with the Queen-8.

1:30 a.m

Just got sucked out on the river again.  THE SAME GUY that fucked me earlier hitting the ten on the river.  This time it was a $60 pot, at least it wasn’t 150.  He has $650 on the table.  HE JUST LEFT WOW.  He left a single 200NL table with more money then I will ever profit on this site by sucking out people 50 times in a row.

TABLE TWO.  Idiot calls my $10 raise preflop  with 67.  Then $15 all in on the flop with a flush draw.   COURSE HE TURNS IT.  ARE WE SERIOUS HERE?

2:00 a.m

Just doubled up to $120 on table one with Qs Qh.  Best read I’ve made all night.  By the turn board was Ts 6s Ad As.  I raised pre and had control until he raised my $12 turn bet, putting me $40 all in to call.  I called based on his range, I knew he didn’t have the ace.  He had Ks Jd and missed the suck-out on the river.  Good time for a break, I don’t feel like shit for once.

2:25 a.m

Resumed

2:50 a.m

Just made a stupid play pissing away $12 overplaying a pair made from the blind.  After the flop I really had no business putting anymore money in, despite how bad the guy was.  Currently 3-4 tabling and not really getting anything to play.

3:10 a.m

Doubled on table 3 and left with a nice play.  Also eeked up a buy-in to $70 on table 4 and left.  Some crazy tables are starting to pop up around this ungodly hour.

3:40 a.m

Won a $35 pot on table two with top pair queen, king kicker all in on the flop.  Opponent had top pair queen, 10 kicker.  I felt somewhat uncomfortable making the final push all in on the flop, but I read his range correctly.  And I dodged the 10 for once.

On table 4 I just doubled up to $80 all in preflop with AK preflop.  I had no choice in that matter really.  Opponent held KK.  FLOP ACE.  I just got lucky and sucked out with the worse hand, now I’ve seen it all.  Some crazy shit can go down at 3:40 a.m.

4:15 a.m

Down to playing just two tables.  Not really much to report.  Everything is very dead right now, except the 100BB tables which I don’t have the roll for.  Getting very tired, will probably stop by 5.  There is one really bad player to my right on table 2.  I actually have position.  He keeps re buying for $100 and completely pissing it away.  It’d be nice to get a double up against him before I end, but I’ve been card dead a while.

4:30 a.m

Just lost a $70 pot with AK.  I mixed up the play with it calling preflop.  Some super-user ends up turning a 6, then riving 3 of a kind against my top pair king.  What a load of shit.  Should have bet it on the flop, but playing with 8 super-nits I was trying to let someone catch up with a draw or something.  I’m fine with mixing it up, but I should have CALLED the river, and not re-raised all-in.

4:50 a.m

Very disappointed, thought I was in line to win a $100 pot on table 2.  Flopped trip kings with an ace kicker.  Problem is the other guy had the same hand.  Only ended up netting 8 stupid dollars on the hand!

Just lost a few small pots trying to steal on two different tables.  I need to tighten up some.  Starting to get a little stupid with the ace-high steals.

The ONE TIME I’m dealt a premium hand on the table with the donk to my right EVERYONE folds including him.  So frustrating.

5:05 a.m

The clown-box I was waited for finally busted and left.  I have 3 tables up and they actually aren’t that bad.  I think I may stick around a bit.  Just made another over-aggressive play on Table 3.  Not sure what the fuck he could have hit on that flop but instant 3 bet my CB.  This is such shit.  Ok one more mistake and I’m seriously pulling myself off every table when the blinds come to me.  There’s profit to be made here, but not when I’m being stupid.  I have to be patient, especially at this hour.  Everyone wants to be a hero and make a ridiculous steal.

5:15 a.m

Just won a massive pot on table 1 going from $35 to $90.  Dealt AA and flopped 3 of a kind.  The river also advanced me to a full house, but gave one of my opponents a flush.   The guy on table 1 just decided to piss away $100 playing K3.  He had a bottom pair 3, king kicker and still bet $60 on the turn.  I’m not sure where this fool gets his money from, but it’s CERTAINLY NOT POKER.  He’s almost made the table a must stay.  I have $93 on the table that I built up from $40 and it’s worth risking it to get in a pot with him.

5:30 a.m

It’s hours like these where a sane person would probably question what they are doing with their life.  Yet I continue going 4 tables strong.  I want to attack my K3 hero on table 2, but I need a hand to do it.  He is pissing away chips at a mind-boggling rate.  Trying to be patient here.  If I make one more mistake as I said earlier I’m leaving all of my tables.  IT’S A PRIVLEDGE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY to chase these donks; don’t blow it.  I had a chance to go all in with him pre for $80 with a mid-pocket pair, but I couldn’t pull the trigger because I suck at poker.  He just rebought to $200 WOW.  This could be a long night.

Just got dealt AK… 3 bet to $12 pre-flop, but COMPLETELY MISSED.  Had to fold FUCK.  The next flop there was an ace and king on the board of course.

5:40 a.m

All in $37 preflop with QQ.  TWO CALLERS.  One holding AK, the other holding 10 10.  BLANK BLANK BLANK.  IT FUCKING HELD????? WOW.  Leaving the table with $110.  That is the type of hand that has NOT been holding for me the past 3 weeks.

Cutting back to two tables.  Only one is worth it.  And that one table is by far the best 200NL available right now, even when including 100 BB tables.  The waiting list is 11 people long, it’s average pot is over $50, and the player/flop percentage is over 30%.  I don’t think I can leave this table.  Even if I don’t ever get a hand and break even my FPPs will sky-rocket just sitting here.  The king-trey hero has re-stacked to $200 again.  This guy is insane.

I’ve been card dead a while and I’m down to just over $65.  I should seriously consider buying more chips in case I ever get a hand.  However, I might play smarter short.

6:00 a.m

This table is very much slowing down.  The king-trey hero is there, but he is pretty much all alone.  There was another very loose player that was at least giving him a lot of action, but now the guy is alone and not playing as much.  It’s only a matter of time, but it could take all night.  Also I have terrible position on him.  I’m going to call it a night when the blinds hit me, screw it ugh.  The guy keeps making ridiculous bluffs and showing.  Last was a $24 3-bet pre with Q4 off.

6:10 a.m

ONE MORE TIME AROUND LOL.  This always ends badly.  I’m dealt JJ.  Raise to $6 pre everyone folds.  Ok whatever screw this I’m out.  LOGGED.

From 2:25 a.m – 6:20 a.m I was up +$142 in the 4 hours.  For the total 14 hours I played today I ended up +$62.  Another below minimum wage session.  I know I was having some struggles earlier so it feels good at least ending positive for the session combined.  Though I would have rather the Russian girl texted me back.  Strange that I texted her a distant 14 hours ago now.   Cheers to a messed up beyond repair schedule!
