Fun Player's Guide to the Galaxy
Well let's see.... I'm here, but not quite sure what I'm doing here.
I mean I don't feel drunk.
I thought 7/9 would be a fitting date to mark the start point of whatever this will be. 79 being my favorite hand and all. Yes one thing you should know about fun players is that we all have our favorite hand. Usually it ties back to some big pot you won from playing badly and running godly. For me that hand is 7♠9♠
I guess the purpose of this thread is to provide me an outlet to post random updates related to poker.
I haven't played a whole lot in recent years due to time constraints. Live poker is just so time consuming. But I have managed to fit in 1 or 2 tourneys a year and the occassional cash session once a month or so. Not much to write home about. I min cashed some $1100 event last summer and am up a fair amount in the limited cash I've played.
I also play some online, but options for Americans are pretty crappy. I mostly play 100NL 6 max on ignition and some of their tourneys once in awhile. I recently checked out Bet Online and have dabbled in 50NL 6max. The player pool is super small. There seems to be like maybe 10 regs and a handful of random weaker players. At peak hrs there are maybe 4 tables going. I play without a HUD so I'm only 1 or 2 tabling anyways.
I plan on playing the Monster Stack again next year, but will also schedule time so I can play the ME as well. It would be nice to subsidize that with my cash play. So I guess the main goal/challenge is to make $11,500 within about 150hrs of play.
And the side quest will be to make a good showing in the tourneys.
As for where my game is at: Though I've played relatively little, I've actually studied quite a bit. My thoughts on the game in both cash and tournaments has changed quite dramatically over the last few years. I feel my tournament fundamentals have become more solid, but I still find myself Selbsting off my stack near every money bubble. This is one thing I've never bothered to fix. I think it's time now to stop that and see what it does for my results.
For this month I can probably fit in one cash session and I will also be playing a $1650 at the end of the month.
For cash I typically play 2/5 and 5/10.
I guess I can close out with a HH.
One hand I played on my recent Vegas trip.
5/10 NL
Villain is MAWG with about 2200, hero covers.
PF: Villain opens UTG to 30, hero UTG+1 3bets to 110 with AQo, HJ cold calls, folds back to Villain who calls.
Flop(345): J 8 7r
Villain leads 200, hero makes it 600, fold, villain calls.
Turn(1545): Q
Villain checks, hero checks
River(1545): 7
Villain bets 500, hero raises to 1k, villain makes crying call and mucks.
Gave myself a pep talk. Felt better today.
Grinded some Global and still ran kind of bad and for some reason it was all vs one guy. But I felt like I played a lot better today and held kind of ok mentally despite getting some of the standard aces cracked style beats.
Had an interesting hand today. Villain is one of the better regs.
Roughly 170bb effective
Hero is Button w/ A♠Q♥
Villain is CO
PF: Villain opens 2.3, Hero 9, Villain calls
Flop(17): Q♦ 7♦ 5♣
Check, 8.5, Call
Turn(34): J♥
Check, Check
River(34): 8♦
Check, 34, Villain shoves for 118 more. I call and mhig.
Getting some practice in at Blitz.

Good news was today was a record setting day.
The bad news is that the record I set is the number of set over sets I had.
That number was 4 within about 2hrs of play.
99 vs JJ on J 9 x for two of them. What are the odds.
Then had 88 vs TT and last but not least 77 vs 88.
Hopefully I don't break that record any time in the near future.
The bots make you work for it though.

Quite an incredible accomplishment that impressed the hell out of me.

Seriously dude wtf man.
But to be fair it needs to be juxtaposed w/ this.
Second Royal Flush in like 30k hands. What are the odds of that? Gotta be some kind of record.

Link to the hand. I played him good though. But dude ran hotter than I have ever seen in my life. It's like he ate the star in Mario Bros.
And the turn min XR strat continues to remain undefeated.

Does everyone run like this every day?
I can't even imagine running hot much less just not running terribly.
Fired up a new session and no joke these were back to back literally the first two hands I played.
And just every session since forever seems to just start off like this.

Pretty brutal day yesterday.
AA lost to 76o, J9o Q8s back to back to back where a reg would open fish call I squeeze from the blinds and fish calls and they call down two streets with second or bottom pair and river two pair.
Then had QT on Q T 3 T. And lose vs AA on the river.
And for the grand finale I get in a 3 way all in on a flop of T 5 3 with TT. I'm up against KK and QQ. River Q.
So decided to finally jump in on SMCI. Bought a put at $910 strike that expires in 4 weeks for $9460.
Might just martingale this one until it hits.
Bad board at least lost the min.
