Changing room fun!

I have been super active all year with the fitness stuff.It was part of my NY Resolution to do tons more exercise.I have always been fit so it's really easy for me to get fat burned and muscle gained :) I have been doing a mixture of weights,circuits,runs,bike rides and swimming.Training about 4 times a week on average for the year(was 5 days but slacked off last few months)

Today I decided to go swimming at my regular swimming baths.As soon as I walked in I saw this hot girl I used to work in sales with so that was nice.Still in a daze I collected my change after paying the kiosk lady and headed into the changing rooms.I saw this hippy looking dude with really girly long hair walk in first.I was thinking what a gay,you really look like a girl.I couldn't wait too see how girly his face was.I walked around the corned near the showers and they was all girls in the shower and this hippy looking dude(view from back)was actually the hot girl I used to work with hahaha.Epic!Instead of loads of girls screaming like I thought they would when a man sees them in shower they started laughing.
The hot girl and I laughed my ass out of the changing rooms explaining to her that this is the mens wtf are girls doing in here????
Aparently they only have a male maintenance guy and stuff needed sorting in the females changing room so they temporary changed them around for the day.Because I have been going there like 22 years or whatever in the same changing room you don't really look at the signs on doors anymore.I'm grateful that there was no young girls in the changing rooms,they were all probably 18/19+ so I'm only going to be perceived as a pervert at worst and not a pedo haha.They all had there bathing costumes on anyways.

Thanks for letting me know of your temporary changes kiosk lady!

Was today a good day

I think so.I really need to just stop playing online I know this much.I just can't do anything other than tilt & spew at the moment.I started the day off losing just under a stack at $50nl HU on PP.
After this I took the liberty of updating my PP screename into something cool.Like it wasn't already ;)
I got allot done today,that's the main thing about a poker players lifestyle that I'm in love with.Everything else about poker/the game I pretty much hate at the moment.
I had a productive day anyway:
*Weights,
*Sit-Ups,
*3-Mile Run,
*Food Shopping,
*PS3/PSN Quantum Of Solice 360 kills.I'm now rank 116th in the world with a kill ratio of 2.29,
*Travel to DTD in Notts and put in 2hrs work live.I breaked to get food but after I ate I didn't feel like playing anymore so came home a few stacks up.

I made 2 clear mistakes,one which I'm not sure about.
The main mistake was after limping in utg with AdQd and flopping TPNFD/Combo on:
TdQc4d
The flop was about 5/6 players.I lead for £4,everybody folds and SB makes it £9,BB mucks and it's back on me.I think about re-popping but decide its FR and he has T4/Q4/few flush draws(not sure he raises these)and a few Qs(more likely to be in his range as the raise was small.Think some bad players do this with weak top pairs to find out were there at)
I call the £5 and the turns:
3s
He checks and I say is this a ten or a weak Q to which he replies I have 3 tens.I decide to check back as it feels like a ploy to CR me on the turn,and I would hate myself if I bet the turn as I feel I'd have to call a raise and be even more frustrated if I miss the river.
The river is the:
Js
He bets £16 pretty quick and I tank and level myself.
Because I checked back turn I made my hand look weak which sometimes induces bluffs and gets other stuff to V-bet.I'm running through the hands and say this and also add the only real hand I think I lose to which is likely is T4s.
I decide to call and quickly he shows T4s as my cards hit the muck :)

So my thoughts were spot on but I leveled myself into calling.I don't think my play here is bad even after calling the river.I'm not sure how I would rate my river call here.I know its not horrible as I'm at top of my range and with bluff induce factors and what not.

Another thing that's annoying me at the moment is the M1 to and from Notts is 50mph like all the way due to the extra lane constructions.FFS this is tilting!!!


Thanks to some Chinese man calling my 3bs and stacking off on gutshot flops

This was my attire for the evening.I keep hearing people say Full-Tilt this full tilt that.I think this top was tilting people,usually I don't do poker clothes but I will make sure I wear this number again +EV imo

Thread saver,huge lattice/sausage roll that i ate for my dinner last week.It was nearly as big as my laptop.HUGE

Going to have a long break from online

This year has been bad due to bad luck.Because of this I have played fairly bad out of frustration so I have decided to quit online cash for a while.I can't maintain my A-Game due to frustrations from how bad I seem to run.I shouldn't let it get to me but I can't help it just latley so that's that for online cash.I'd been playing HU SNGs and it's hillarous.Last 18 games I have played about 11 times I had 60/40 all ins and lost everytime.I always seem to lose favorites and don't get lucky much either.

I'm going to play more live poker from now on and play MTT's live and online.I have less than $1000 USD online.Part of me thinks I should have played through the bad spot at $400nl on FTP last year rather than move sites,levels but I can't change that stuff now.

Heyho it's off online to live pokers I go.

Live updates,TRs to come.

Huge WTF

I have not won an all in Kings hand for a while.Running terrible with king.Might just open shove it now up to 160BBs try to get some weird value.



The player that I shove on were fish.The ATo v KQs hand he was 96/72/5 with a 3bet of 32% Hand before he had 50BBs and I shoved KJs into his AQs and doubled him up.It was like any ace im smashing it in his face.

The hand with the fish picking up the OESD I was readless other than the HUD.Maybe I should just c/f but I just feel weak if I cant successfully go with my read him being very weak.

I have little confidence in poker these days and days like this make me want to quit.I never seem to run hot.All I seem to do is run bad,super bad or normal.I even have a NITTY style to reduce variance but these fuckers keep on BINKING me lol

Getting bored of cheeseburger stakes

I just fall to bits the more hands I play it seems.My game has been sucking at 50/1 for the last 2-3k hands.I'm break even this month at the level for about 6k hands and have lost motivations.

I played some $400nl on FTP and got into some really interesting spots,one I managed to win a 3bet pot of calling a 3bet preflop in MP after CO had raised and SB called.I'd post the hand if it wasn't so horrible.

Tonight I phoned Party Gaming and asked them to give me a bonus.I got a pretty good deal.
Bonus $925 ( No deposit required)
Hit 5,500 Points in 30 days and you get the lot.It's released in 5 increments of $185-1100 points.

I have always said the PP regs are better than everywhere else and I still think thats true.One habit I know that is a bit of a leak for me at FTP is calling light.This habit is from all the PP fish bluffing or betting light.This is something that everyone does at PP.Everyone calls light in small-medium pots,some times all in 100BB pots(rarer).Maybe this is my theory of why Party Poker tables always seem to produce more action in general.
Anyways I'm trying to play $400nl very underolled.In totall I have about 10 BI for the level with all my funds but at Party I started playing with 2.5BI today which is now just over 3.5BI.Some people may think this is crazy but I actually think it helps me respect money and play better,concentrate harder etc etc.When I first started $200nl in 2008 I had less than 4BI and managed to run up a 15BI BR for $400nl.
I'm definitely going to need all my monster hands to hold up or I'll be BUSTO'd pronto(at least my PP account anyways).

Back on track

I have got my shit together this month big time.I'm playing really good against the 50/1 regulars and fish of FTP. I have knocked in 19,525 hands so far and I think I'm going to get in another 5,000 hands before the months out.My thought process is much more improved and I'm just bot-ing 6max and using what ever strong reads I have against the regulars tendencies to add a bit more EV to my game.

Bit of HU & 90% 6max
Just 6max

Today I have actually had the worst session in terms of BI's lost ever at poker in one session.My first session I made nearly 2 BI so the whole day I'm stuck 5 BI which is good considering how I could have tilted allot of money away.I'm really pleased I didn't tilt even after starring hard at the screen after about the 3rd beat.Poker can be pretty dissatisfying at time and today was no exception.The main hands which I felt I couldn't have played any better if I had tried so I'm happy."Skylansky's" banked I guess!

Todays last session :(

Update

I was messing around on FTP and found out that I was 4th in the twoplustwo league for the fantasy poker.I picked my team ages ago,forgot about it and not made any alterations to my team.Maybe I should be a sports bettor.

I have had a rough time so far with poker this year,the main thing is people are improving,not as much dead money as there used to be and I have played bad/run bad.So yeah I use every excuse in the book to cover why I'm sucking so hard right now.

Well hopefully this will all change soon,I wouldn't say I'm super motivated but I'm certainly motivated to improve my game and get back up to scratch.At the moment I have been trying to improve heads up.The main things I'm trying to nail are less tilt,spew,ill advised moves and just all more all round solidness of my game.I think when I'm playing good I'm a great player but I find it hard to keep my A-game up and I veer off from the best paths at times.This is definitely the most important thing to me.I have spent around 20k hands focusing on improving my red line.As a result of this I have been playing my arse off in very light spots indeed.I think it's improved one part of my game and destroyed another.Well not destroyed as I just need to get out of the habit of always having air :) I'm sure my blue line would go up a bit in another 40k hands maybe :)
From now on when I play I want to always follow these rules:

Play my A-game

Quit when I feel that I can't bring my A-game or I'm veering from my A-game

Don't play tired or with negative emotional feelings

Soon as I feel the tiltmonkey inside swinging around quit the session

After I have a better control on all of the above I will look into not be such a lazy arse and play allot more than 2hrs a day(I have not even managed this lately)
