LOL donkaments

Decided to bring a box of Tums with me to the computer and play a lot of cheap MTT's this weekend.


L O L

1 for 11 (finished 240/2400) in a $3 rebuy.

Lost 4 races. 2 suckouts. ...and here's the part that kills me. 5 crazy ass calls (of course I had shit, but I still can't believe I got these calls

K9 off for 2/3 of stck
J9 suited for 1/2 of stack
A4 off for almost entire stack
A2 off for 2/3 of stack
A9 s for all of stack (we were dead even, I jammed from MP with 89 s, he snap calls)

I am truly shocked at the calls I'm getting lately. It's not like I'm 40% VP$IP, I generaly don't do too much stupid, but all of these calls were instacalls, too. No thought. They limp, I jam, CALL. Amazing.

Oh well, good to know that there are that many bad players out there, but it would be nice to take advantage of it.

What is going on?

Lost about 2 buyins at my Friday night game for my 3rd loser in 4 sessions.

The killer went like this.

AA in MP ~$120 in front. two limps, I make it $8 (.50/1.00 blinds)

LAG in CO calls, LP in UTG calls, UTG+1 (beyond LAG) calls "pot odds".

Flop - Td 4d 6h

UTG+1 ($150) leads for $15, I reraise to $60, he jams, I call.

He flips 9T. Good deal, 4/1 fave. Of course, I run good, so the 9 hits the turn and I don't improve. Yay. I love people getting out of traps for my stack.


Overall, I feel like I played well, lost money, go me.



I'd love to have some wonderful stuff to discuss or be in a better mood, buy whe

Last 3 MTT's I've played have lasted a grand total of 10 hands.

(all PF shoves)

AK < KK
KK < AA
AA < 77

GG variance.

Record keeping

If there's one area I could definitely improve upon, it's my record keeping. I've got a simple spreadsheet for my live play, but that's pretty much buy-ins/cash outs/total win/loss. As for online play, I really haven't tracked much, other than what I've put in PokerTracker. Problem is, I really have been playing more SnG's and MTT's of late, so PT isn't the best tool here.

To be honest, I've done a piss poor job of tracking my SnG/MTT play. I really couldn't tell you how I've done long term. Given that I prefer SnG/MTT's online, this is not good. So, I have finally gotten around to setting up Poker Analyst at Cardplayer and try to make an honest effort with my day to day play. I'll still track my ring games in PT, but, like I"ve said in the past, I'd rather play ring games live.....just so much easier.

I feel like I'm playing OK these days, I've gotten involved with a couple of stupid hands early, but nothing too silly. No stupid bustouts. Still getting my money in good. I'm just going to keep banging away and look for another FT or hot SnG run.
