I started off tonight really bad. Down somehow -$225 in about 3 hours. I’m reviewing some hands now, going to take a break and put in at least 3 more hours. I really can’t put into words how much I despise online compared to live, I can’t say it enough. How the fuck did I just lose 4 and a half buy ins again? It never makes sense. I have to think: when is the last time I’ve lost 4 buy-ins live in 3 hours? Oh right never, that doesn’t happen. I was about 18 tabling at one point so maybe that was too much. Guess I have to put things in perspective as well, I’m never playing 18 tables live at once. Then again I never pull off a decent win online to balance things out, so there is the problem. Also the tables were pretty pathetic. Looking at my stats it also looked like I nitted up too much and started missing spots. I also ran -$180 in EV which means nothing I guess, but not even beating the EV is never great. Oh yeah, I started the first Supernova bonus tonight for $1500, so I’ll naturally be doom-switched the next 10,000 VPPs. I CAN’T LEAVE ANYWAYS. I have to clear the bonus right? Bullshit.
So I’m going to regroup and try to get something going here. I want to stick to 12 tables during the next session and constantly table select. I don’t want to go past this mark unless I go up several buy-ins (which will never happen, but whatever). I have a serious control issue online. I play to many tables at once. I think I can handle it, but I feel like too many mistakes add up with that many. The main difference between my live and online play is simple. Live I don’t make mistakes, online I do. It doesn’t get any more simple. So drop the damn tables and stop making mistakes?
I also want to log a commentary for the next 3 hours+. I think it may help me from jumping on to many tables at once. Bored? Write the commentary. And besides it’s been so long!
1:08 a.m
5 hour energy take, oh God. Probably a bad idea since I wanted to actually work out tomorrow before I go out. It’s a friends bday so tomorrow night is going to be rough.
1:20 a.m
Under-way here. I have my first 4 tables or so up and I’m on several waiting lists. Looking forward to getting my ass handed to me.
Music: Techno
Mood: Skeptical and surprisingly tired
1:25 a.m
12 tables up. GREAT NOW STOP ADDING TABLES. Will be table selecting constantly, but no more than 12 please. They are about half fast, but I can keep up with the action just fine. Starting a “under consideration” slot where I will pile up potential promising tables.
1:45 a.m
Table 12 AK < AQ all in pre -$30. Thanks always a pleasure.
2:00 a.m
Table 12. All in -$100. Flopped a set of jacks on a J Q K board. The jackass 34/10/13 player somehow flops the nut set holding A 10 off after 3 betting pre. Just only on this god damn bullshit site. THERE GOES ANY CHANCE of profiting tonight. This is why I don’t’ win online. Get me to AC. Completely demolished by terrible player flopping his miracle un god-damn real.
TABLE 6 TWO OUTERED ON THE FUCKING RIVER MINUS 60 more dollars. What else can go wrong in the span of 5 seconds?
QQ < 77 all in on the fucking flop. River seven.
THANKS HI IT’S COOL I WAS JUST HERE FOR THE TWO OUTER BEAT-DOWN ON THE RIVER!
I’M now down over $100 (more than 2 buy ins) in 30 minutes without making a mistake. Anyone else in the universe is up $100 + at this point, story of my life.
I’m not sure how much more this I can take tonight. Not tiliting or anything just absolutely nothing I can do to avoid getting screwed.
Go ahead keep it up stars. This time when the bankroll goes down because I get two-outered 50 times in a row on a full ring cash game there is no way in fucking hell you are getting another dime from me. Fuck your Supernova, fuck your cash bonus, and fuck your site. I’ll grind up live, withdraw everything and take my online business elsewhere thanks.
2:30 a.m (30 minutes after the flip out)
Really not much to report here, the tables aren’t great but I’m constantly trying to find the best ones available.
I’m also brutally tired right now. The 5 hour energy did not work, I’m guessing my body is completely immune to them by now.
3:10 a.m
Just doubled and won a $100 pot on table 5. Picked off a $25 river shove correctly with an overpair. Yeah his draw missed. I had his range narrowed correctly the entire street, and the river shove just instantly confirmed everything.
3:50 a.m
Still down just under a buy-in. This entire session has been an attempt to work my way back from the train-wreck first 30 minutes. I love how every $40 coin-flip pot with a short-stacker I lose. Don’t even get me started what a joke.
Not feeling as tired at least, I’ve sort of mellowed into a state of stability. But now I’m hungry of course!
4:05 a.m
Just doubled on table 1 to $100. Got in with a 72/22/25 psycho who jammed my 3-bet all in preflop. AKs > 99 no choice there.
HEY THERE’S A HAND I USUALLY DON’T WIN.
Just took his last $35 winning another $70 pot. This time playing TT and calling down his final river psycho shove, despite two jacks being on the board. He showed missed K9, king high. I’m absolutely forced to make a play on his range there despite the jacks showing. You can’t hide from your range you son of a bitch!
Taking a quick break when the blinds hit. That was 3 hours. Don’t think I’m quite ready to sleep yet, would like to get in another hour and try to find some crazies. I feel I’m playing decent poker right now.
Break at 4:20
Officially finished that session up +$30, about half a buy in. At least I was able to fight back from a rough start.
4:30 a.m
Back again and have 12 tables up going strong. If I make one stupid play I’m logging out for the night, that’s a promise. Let’s earn the right to play here.
4:40 a.m
-$40 pot table 10 99 < JJ all against a clone short-stacker over a blind war. The usual. Of course he has JJ when he’s stealing 35% from that position. Must be nice!
5:10 a.m
Nice -$100 pot lost against a 60/23/18 psycho. Stars decides to let his 49 strike gold and flop trip 4’s against my overpair 88 whatever. I’m pretty much fucking fed up. He could have just as easily had any missed draw or air.
Calling an end to this miserable night at 5:30
-$80 on table 8. Another ridiculous turned straight against my set. What a god awful mistake it was logging back on. If anyone’s being aggressive in any given situation it’s the complete nuts 100% of the time just sick.
- $80 ANOTHER POT LOST. This time a spaz-clown catches trip 3’s against over-pair QQ on the flop. Any two like cards on the board they instantly have the trips, the sickest thing I’ve ever seen. Can’t lay it down either on these dreadful 20-50 BB tables.
So in the span of an hour every 50/30 player in the universe is going to catch lighting in a bottle against whatever over-pair or whatever. Play 59 suited with raises pre and hit. Hit the miracle with 3 10 off suit, play TJ and nail that straight against the set, whatever it’s pokerstars right. Can’t actually take any of this seriously
So instead of finishing the final 3 hours up half a buy in I’m down -$145 in 4 hours. What a disgusting night. I can’t wait to get away from online as much as possible.
Down -$370 in 7 hours tonight; disgusting. It couldn’t have gone any worse. At this rate my online bankroll will run out before I clear the nova bonus and good riddance. I have no intention of depositing in this b.s site again. I’d rather put the +$600 live instead of pissing it away to 50/30 players catching miracles all night. Then they deposit it into the Supernova elite accounts. I couldn’t be more pissed off right now.
Hours: 7
Net Loss: -$370
Online roll: $3,438
Buy ins remaining: 68
Pending bonus: $1,500 (only 1,500 of 10,500 VPPs cleared)
Pokerstars: The only place in the world where I don’t feel comfortable with 68 buy-ins.
