I just can't win online

I dont know what it is, but I cant remember the last time I had a good session online. Today I decided to mix it up and play some 100NL -9 handed.
Here are some of the highlights, with my thought process:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1220751 Small stab at the flop and on the turn I thought I was money. Not so much.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1220754 The guy was playing almost 50% of his hands, but not realy raising, so if he had AA or KK I figured I would find out by putting in a RRaise preflop, the flop was A high and he cheked, then when he bet on the turn, I just couldnt put him on an ACE, and it just seemed to me as if he was trying to push me of the pot. The river makes the chances of him having an Ace even smaller, I call and he out flopped me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1220759 About the only hand I won, the river just completes so many hands that I decided to check call, giving him a chance to bluff at it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1220761 here is my running into Quads, there was something fishy about this hand and I decided to check behind since Im only splitting the pot or losing the majority of the time. Im just glad I didnt bet.

Not sure what it is, I guess there are couple times like this hand that I should probably not play

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1220763 hands like this can add up really quick, I feel that I have to raise this in order to mix it up, and I MUST bet the flop, in case he called with a small pair or a non ace hand.

Not sure what I should try next on my game, June has definately not been my month and it is definately my first losing month, luckily not by much and Ive had some 4-5 b uy in downswings. I think im only down 2-3 buy ins tops.

Oh well, hopefully next month I go on a heater and have some good results.

Bazuko.

Poker!

First hand of the night, as soon as I sit down:

So, I decided to play the drawy game of Omaha!

I decided to hit the 1/2 NL and I flopped the NUTZ with the K high flush draw and I was getting raised and re raised. Im just happy I held up for a change :)

I can go to sleep in peace now :)

How to bust from a tourney when there are 20 players left, with over 2k for 1st place.

Break time...

Ive decided to take a break, till I actually feel like I want to play and be on the right positive state of mind. I kinda got burned out from poker, so i need to WANT to play in order to play my best.

Hmmm......

So, after that rough session a while back, i decided to move back down to 50nl, the games are softer than the 100NL.

Today I was feeling pretty good, so I decided to 4 table for a bit, there were A LOT of loose players, calling stations and the ones known as weak tight, who will just check call you all the way w bottom pair and give no respect to your continuation bets on the flop and of course defend their big blings w 24 or 58off suit.

My strategy was to really try and Re raise preflop to isolate when I had a good hand, well it didnt really go as I expected:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1167318 He was playing 43/5 meaning, playin almost 1/2 his hands and raisin a small range. Well I decided to come out firing on the flop and turn since there was a flush draw and possible straight/draw. When he Reraises on the river, It was hard for me to put him on a set or the flopped str8 since with so many draws out there, he more than likely would have raised on the flop or turn.


http://www.pokerhand.org/?1167313 Nothing I can do here, He could be calling w anything and if he wants to limp calls a 8xbb RR w 76o, more power to him, I just hate losing to this type of players.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1167333 I got mixed feelings about how I played this hand, on the flop I checked trying to induce a bluff, I Re Raise him and he pushes. If he called my big RR pre flop and once I raise him on the flop, he still pushes, im not sure I can call there, cause the only thing I can beat is a bluff...appereantly not. But, maybe I should have put a strong c bet on the flop.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1167324 Just an example of how bad the play is at this limit, Im glad I bet big on the flop, cause if I cheked and he pushed all in, there was a possibility that I might have folded. Although I let him know on the flop that Im commited, he still pushes, weird. Not to mention his 6xbb R pre w 63o

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1167338 And again, this guy was playin pretty loose and calling w marginal hands. My AA on the flop are good 99% of the time against this type of player, since his stats were 63/4

I know, that I got unlucky again in a few spots, I did what I was suppossed to I tried to isolate w good hands pre, but the fish still bites and gets lucky. Surprisingly I only lost about 1 1/2 buy ins, so I guess I could have been worse.

This are the type of dream games you hope to find, where u got such bad players, now the only lil problem is that my hands have to hold up :(

Hopefully things can turn around and I have a big day soon!

WARNING!! Bad Beats included!!

Wow, just wow. I just ran soo awful that it still hasnt settled in. This is a big set back on achieving my goal, but I guess its meant to happen and as long as I put my money in good, I will win in the long run. But, take a look at some of the hands.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161429 Cooler, Ive learned to just call when people lead onto me on the river and as you will see, if has saved me money, normally I would be pushing all in, but I think that they only call my all in if they got me beat.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161440 I mean, who chases this much, I guess I shuold have Re Raised even bigger when he lead out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161434 This one was brutal, same guyas before, the guy is such calling station, I mean this player is one of the worst Ive seen, and Ive seen plenty! We got all the money in as a big fav, and of course river flows.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161442 I had just made a note on him, that he was playing really loose and was tiltin, so there is no way Im folding top 2 pair to a guy that is on tilt.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161446 And again...running into a bigger flush.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161447 I was value betting him and again, river hits him

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1161450 Im not so sure about my raise on the flop, but the turn commits me.


At one point I was up, but most of these hands happened in a 10 min span and I was about to start playing every hand, and I foud myself tiltin, so even though I think I got unlucky on a few spots, I really thought I had an edge over the players at my table. But, the games will always be there and I think its best to comeback with a cool head.

I might take a break, Im not real upset, but just a bit dissapointed for some reason. But Ive been in this spot before and I will try to come back strong.

Quick Update!

I played a small cash game at a friends house, we played our normal stakes .50-1 and I was the big winner takin home a profit of $300 :)

So far this month im up $+ 874.80

I hope I can keep this up and accomplish my goal! Oh, happy Bday to me :)

LH.

Overdue Update

To be honest I havent really been playing much poker, havent really felt the drive to put in a good solid session, however, Ive been able to sneak in a couple of them here and there.

Today I started as usual donking off some money:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153430 I played this hand sooo bad, first of all there are way to many people in the pot, I bet out, but once I got called, I should have been done w the hand, there is absolutely nothing that I beat on the turn and he is representin strength on his bet, I mean Im a behind to a set, the flush and straight got there, all in all one of the worst hands that I have ever played. My gut feeling was telling me to fold, but I gotta go w my read, otherwise I will keep making these type of losing calls.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153433 Now this one, I had a method to my madness. The guy wasnt not letting me limp on his BB, I knew for sure he would raise, and my hand is waaay ahead of his possible range. Unfortunately he made a corageous call(not sure if it was a good call) and I didnt hit.

I was down about $170 at one point, but I managed to only lose $13, Ill take that as a win :)

Now if I could only not make these mistakes, I could easily be on my way to achieving my goal. But I gotta start putting in the hours.

I was talking to a guy that plays for living and he says that on average he puts in 50k hands a month, thats more hands that I have played since sept last year, so I gotta step it up.

Since the last post Im up +270.33

Total of + $574.80 so far this month

Hoepfully I can go on a crazy rush in the coming up days :)

Oh btw, I flopped a str8 flush http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153444 Too bad I didnt get any action :(

Good then bad and ending in a GREAT DAY!

Today, I started the day by 4 tabling 50NL and I was able to win $150 in 400 hands. Then I logged on another session and lost about $77, so I said well screw it, Ill 4 table 100NL for a bit and just play solid.

Well, that turned out pretty good since I was able to win over 2 buy ins in about 100 hands.

Here are a couple hands that boost my day from a semi decent one to a pretty good one:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1137597 Standard ReRaise from the blinds, he called and I made a pretty strong continuation bet, which he called, at this point I was worried he might be slow playing a bigger pair that mine, so I decided to check the turn and re-evaluate and perhaps induce a bluff , his bet just seemed odd, I thought that it was likely he had AK w the Ah and was trying to push me out, so I decided to go with it and he was on a stone cold bluff.

This was a key pot mentally, because it was my few first hands back at my regular stakes.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1137617 Just making a small move

Then a few hands later the following happend at another table:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1137599 This was pretty standard, but Ive been sucked out of many times and closed my eyes and crossed my finger till I saw the pot being shipped to me, I logged off right then and there and decided to finish the 1st of the challenge on a good note :)

Todays Session: + $305
