rushing rushing rushing

Hi guys,

I really started to like rush poker. there is much of a controverse about it…I don’t care. I really like to play it. Sometimes even for only 10 minutes. It’s easy to start and you can stop whenever you want.

 

I’m running pretty good at 50NL. Played 1600hands today and I’m having a 20BB/100 winrate! I’m happy with that! ;-)

I’m actually playing 18/14…pretty tight. of course, I miss some value from stealing and outplaying. but there are always easier spots to get in. ..

 

Hand of the day: Because of time tells I had a feeling that this guy plans to c/r river. But then I rivered nuts and was ready to try something different! He was requesting time and calls in the last couple of seconds. :-) )) great stuff!
BB ($77.80)
UTG ($50)
MP ($40)
CO ($47.80)
Hero (Button) ($54.25)
SB ($70.05)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, A
3 folds, Hero bets $1.75, 1 fold, BB calls $1.25

Flop: ($3.75) J, 7, K (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($3.75) 4 (2 players)
BB bets $1, Hero calls $1

River: ($5.75) 10 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $51.50 (All-In), BB calls $51.50

Total pot: $108.75 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had 9, A (flush, Ace high).
BB had 7, 7 (three of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: Hero won $105.75

DUCY?!?

I actually had to look on google what that means…Haha! I saw it on a pst in the forum today.

For all of you, that don’t have a clue: “Do you see why?”

 

Haven’t been playing for 2 days. My last session ended up going down for 2 Buyins. Oh, I forgot to mention that I actually moved to 50NL. I had to change something, I was just pissed of all the bad suckout I got in my last sessions on 25NL. It maybe sounds completly wrong to move up then – but my BR was on 1100 USD. so it wasn’t a big deal. I actually moved up adn down since then. However I’m comfortable in playing 50NL. But for sure I need to improve my winrate. I’m break even for the first 5K hands on 50NL. Plus Rackeback and Bonuses…so I keep winning a little. ;-)

 

Played a little tourny with some friends this week. 6 handed, I was chip leader or 2nd, don’t remember. CO pushes allin with maybe 60% stack (compared to mine). I call with KKds in SB. BB folds. against his QTdd (83 to 17) I lost against Straightflush on turn….;-) But keep in mind that BTN folded 67dd…so poker cruncher in my Iphone told me that this is happening in maybe 1 hand out of 2000. WOW!

2 hands later I got it in on the CO with ATs and lost the flip against 99.

From Hero to zero in 2 hands. That’s tourney, that’s why I don’t like it!

 

GL at the tables

no comment…

after two days off, playing only 2 tables. actually pretty good.

But one more time: played 500 hands until now and 2.5 Buyins under EV!!!!!!!!!

there is NO F**** CHANCE to run like that!

I would be so happy to make just on blog like “easy session, plus 2 Buyins today”.

But no way!

TILT AGAIN! How the F*** can that be!

THIS IS MY OFFICIAL TILT POST – I HOPE IT HELPS TO COME OVER IT! I TAKE A BREAK!

Today it was the other way around! first up for 2 Buyins (of course I never got it in pre…hard work, 1K hands, stealing, and squeezing, and ufff!).

Then played against many weak, passiv stations (50/5) an the like. Used the hole equipment…Iso raise, stealing and so on.

First, villain rivers his 2 outer in a 360BB pot. Then he calls with his OESD against my TP medium kicker (he was loose like hell, that’s why I got it in there) – he turns the straight quickly with the next card. Flopped trips get called by FD – turn brings Flush (my straight forward game was sooo obvious, but he still called….)gg!

And last but not least, how the f*** can someone slowplay aces on 25NL profitable???? maybe only against me – an maybe because I flopped TPTK.

Sometimes, I need to stay honest, I flopped good stuff and took down the small pots. In every bigger pot, I got drawn out. This is f**** rediculous! Didn’t get ANY value for my hands!

I’m done.

 

I’m pretty sure, later I would wish I never blogged this….However, it belongs to the game. Earlier, I would have moved up limits and spew the entire BR. Nowdays, I know when to stop – at least that works! ;-)

Feel with me or laugh your ass off ;-)

it’s just hard to grind up…

Hey all,

I didn’t write any blogs the last couple of days, because my session went always the same:

I often loose 1 or 2 Buyins in the first couple of hands. There is no way I’m tilting or playing really bad…luck is just not on my side. Loosing Ak flips against QQ. Playing an overpair against a flush draw…flush hits right on turn. Those are standart situation….unfortunately standart situations where I often loose (at least right now).

Today it was kind the same. Not even played 100 hands and already running 2 Buyins under EV (see graph). the rest of the session  I was figthing my way back up with standart pots. Then got AA. 3bet pre, 3-Way – nice. One color flop, not nice. cbet gets called, I’ve a feeling he is on a FD maybe with a PP. Turn brings the 4 card flush. And I can c/f.

When I look at my stats for AA…I can’t believe that: 76 times AA, win 84%, profit plus 2.5 Buyins….

This is just rediculous! I 3/4/5 bet them every single time pre. no slowplay. Just bet bet bet (as long as the board is fine).  And as you just saw before, I can alos fold aces. And after all of this a profit of 2.5 Buyins…? Are you kidding me?

I just checked the following: I got it in pre 7 times out of 76, full stack. I lost 3 times…

Enough complained ;-) .

If you check your own stats that would be very funny to compare…

After all, BR: ~1000$ (thanks to bonus and rakeback).

Played 19K hands. Winning 2.1BB/100…

stats: 22/17/5
