Every Don has its day

That feeling again I'm going to sound moany, and down beat in this update. I've taken a number of hours before updating the diary so its not quiet as bad, but i dont think i can update much better than i will now.  Today started postitive, almost instantly into the Main Semi. £10 from a bh sat. Sweet, looking good.  From there on in, yesterday was back. The bubble re-awoke. The pain of it all.  I defo didn't bubble as many today as i did yesterday, i didn't make it throo as many either.  All my mtts went wrong bar one on winamax ill address after.  Sats, as i said i made the main semi, think i bubbled 3 standard ones. The main semi had 5 seats. I made it to 7 left in great shape. Nothing for 6ht or 7th fwiw. 7 people left, i had both tables open, about 9 times, two players got it all in, every time the at risk stack had to worst hand, and got there. Meanwhile I'm spot dead. Someone eventually bust but i was joint shorty. Guy to my left time banks every F'ing hand, thus the blinds go up on my BB. Ontop of that, Sky have no 500/1000 level so not only was it a blind raise n my BB instead of having the 5BB i did have i now had 3.3. If the 500/1000 level was in play i wud have 4BB so not much better but wud allow me to fold and be able to shove the following hand, or the one after. Anyways i got Aj someone raised and i have no choice. The flip over KT and this was literally the only point from 7 people left that i had my chips in the middle with a caller. TTxxx board. Thank you very much, everyone else gets a double up but me. Thank you for that, and yet another stone bubble.  At that point i decided i was done for the day. Unfortunetly i was crushing a winamax mtt. I did manage to stay focused and ended up comming 14th. Again i feel i should have done so much better. 14th just feels so spewy. My exit there was AK v KK AIP for like 30BB so nothing i can do, expessially 5 handed.  I  have decided after two extremely painful days, that i need to once again take some time out. I know i have hardly played this month, and over the coarse of the weekend ive ran grim as anything, made £50 profit on sky, about break even on .fr, and a small loss on winamax. There are lots of positives to take away from this. I havent spewed off my roll like i would have in the past, i managed to maintain my composure and run deep in and mtt while id given up all hope.  Unfortunetly i still don't think my mindset is in the correct place to continue playing over the next few days. I will of coarse judge by how I'm feeling when i wake up. However i think Its best to chill for a day or two and refresh. I will focus on my youtube videos, as i enjoy doing that, its a good sort of Don time. All the best to all at the tables, and peace!

So if a profitable weekend is "extremley painful", what is a losing weekend?

I really don't understand your mentality sometimes, but wish you all the best genuinley. 

Enjoy your chill out time.

So because i made money at poker, and then had a bad spell im not allowed to feel slightly frustrated and annoyed. Baring in mind, you know why i was a little bit frustrated. 

Im sure far more winning players than me have a rant when they have a downswing. And basically this weekend thats what it was. I played well i think, maybe took some high variance spots but i was always in ahead. Now even on a downswing if u get it in enough surely u will make money. You know urself it only takes one mtt. And thats basically what i got. 

Now im sorry if my rant and feelings feel wrong to you.

I wouldn't say im good, i just enjoy it, on a non-poker day easily 8-9 hours per day. On a poker day bout 1 or 2. 

I took alot of time to consider my options for the next gen console. I was swaying towards the PS4, but the Xbox One has managed to convice me to change my mind. I sorted out my pre-order on Monday. Xbox origionally had alot of redic policies which they have now changed, and i love Fifa, with the pre-order Fifa 14 comes free. I also feel the free kinect will be good for the weeone in a couple of years. 

I think theres going to be some improvement, the current consoles (xbox certainly) are now 8 years old. However because of the ressession development of technology hasn't came on as much as the 8 years before that, i would expect a similar kind of jump from the last gen to this gen. I know Gareth Bale was doing some motion censor stuff, which was used in the current gen but its now in much better detail for the new gen. 

Rangers this season excite me big time. Last year we had a team assembled in just 6 days, i don't think any manager would have had it easy. We still can't sign players (although we have abused the trailist rule) for another week. Theres 2 players who have signed for us who where linked with us when we where "good". The progress of the club will continue. We are still 95% capacity of a 50k stadium so i see no, to very little reason to why we cannot win the Scottish Premiership. 

What really worries me though, is Celtic look very weak now. Selling Wanyama and Hooper, which i think where good business decisions but haven't replaced them. Without Celtic doing well in Europe the co-efficent things will hurt us. And the rest of Scottish football. However i think Celtic will win the league for about 6 in a row before they are challenged again, but the challenge will come from Rangers.

This is probably a fair point

More BS in critcal stages

So i decided to play the reds v yellow game. I done ok, got ul in a flip then got KK in v QJ flopped a K and still lost. Standard. 

I also played main and mini. Lost a flip in mini by a guy who decided to limp call 7s. I hit a straight and still lost ffs. 

Main i didnt bubble. But i bubbled the bubble. Same guy picked up KK and QQ two consecutive hands, and obviously i had hand to shove BB v SB and SB v BTN over a limp and he held both times. 

Sigh. 

The_Don90

A little bit of fun, beers and more

So i took a break from poker. Only for a week or two to straighen out my head, but lets be honest, what would a Don diary be without a rant at somepoint. 

This weekend seen not just me but a few other local players including my dad and uncle heading for Newcastle. Strangely not for the SPT. There was a team event at the G casino down the road to which we decided to play. We did also decide to stay in Newcastle instead of travelling down on the day which my Dad would normally prefer. 

On the Friday we got down slightly later than planned however still we got into Aspers early enough to late reg the mtt. Because there was 6 of us late regging they opened a new table. As you can imagine 5 of us where on it, and we might as well have played in the local pub. 

I got off to a horrible start losing a big pot with AK v TT, managed to double back up but ended up exiting after 3b shoving over a UTG raise with KQo. He snapped with A6 and held. That was after a table move and was literally at the end of the re-entry period. 

I re-entered and won a flip, then a 70/30. I got moved table again, this time both Uncle Willie and another local where on it again. Giant, Pokey and supersnedd was also on this table. A really good friendly table. I can't really remember what happened on this table, things went against me abit, and i ended up making a number of mistakes, i came off this table, onto final table though, with 1.5bb. Not where i wanted to be. 2 hands in i look at Kc, in UTG +2 i decide its enough and shove. 2 calls, standard obviously. Kx7 flop. One caller pots i flick over, turns out the other card was Ac, so thought id be in decent shape the other guy flicks over 77. umm gg. 

So i cashed for £30, not bad for a mtt which cost £46 to play, i have to admit i think myself and others all agreed the payout structure was pretty poor, and had i known that i think i would have been unlikely to re-enter. 

Saturday was the day of the team event, 6 man team our team was all made up of players from our town. A team had to nominate a team captian and a star player. Captains I'm not 100% sure on what their role was on the actual game, i think it was just a nominated player to attend the player briefing. A friend who ran deep (i think they split the prize) in the Friday night game was the least hungover/drunk so got that nomination. Another role was the star player, origionally we had Dad down for this. Although he had literally had less than 1 hours sleep and was drinking all night. Thus he lost his role. Uncle Willie was asked to replace him, mostly because knocking out a star player is worth 5 points to the other team. Willie was the least likely person within the team who would get it in light. 

The event for me didn't go aswell as i would have liked. In level 1 the table seen me as super aggressive. What they didn't know though was i was being dealt KK and AK almost every other hand. Unfortunetly for me nobody wants to get their chips in, in level one of an mtt and the deck cooled for me towards the end of it. 

I lost 2 or 3 huge pots, most which i was unlucky, and one admitted mistake when i tried a river hero call with KJ high, which to be fair was ahead of most of the opponents range. Annoyingly he had 4th pair, he was bluffing with the best hand and had a sucker who couldn't be bluffed holding worse lol. 

After the break i had a 22bb stack, UTG limped as did half the table, i was in the SB and woke up with AQ. Taking the pot down now wouldn't be terrible a good number of BBs added to my stack, and if called im probably not in terrible shape, so i shove. UTG snaps, thats the one time you know you're in terrible shape. Thankfully he flips over KK so i have ways out of it, board runs out KxQxA. So despit the two pair i was out. The board did have 4 diamonds on it on the turn so i could have split but the Ah was the river teaser. 

The desision was made to go to Aspers for the side event, and we got there about 6.30, annoyingly that was late reg territory. Again a table got opened as soon as possible and 3 local lads ended up on my table, as was mewillows. Early on mewillows took charge of the table, and i had some annoying spots, although i had position on him which made my life easier than most. He got really unlucky and shortly after his exit the table broke. From there i won two flips and went from strenth to strenth. I think i spent abit of time as chip leader, and made final table as a top 3 chip stack. Final table was soft after from 2 or 3 players. However some more than standard spots went in the wrong direction. This left me crippled after losing a 60/40 v bearproof, i ended up on the BB with 4BB (inc the one invested) UTG limped. UTG was a really, really passive player and a limp could easily have been a hand as strong as Jacks. Only raise i'd previously seen i reluctantly called with TT just to give you an idea. I said to Giant afterwards despite winning that hand (he had AK) i made a huge mistake by not just folding pre. Anyways i look down at 23o. Great. I check 2xx flop, at that stage i decided he folds all his overcards and maybe some of his smaller pairs, and i shove, getting it throo is a full double. He snaps with top set. gg. 

Overall the weekend was a good one, and was good to see new and old faces.

Close but no bones

So yesterday seen my return to online poker. I played over a number of sites again focusing purely on mtts. 

The day started horrible, early on nothing was really going right, eventually i was left with my last 2 scheduled mtts. However i did manage to build a stack in both. 

I'm not convinced i was playing well though. 

After i finnished I done a hand review focusing purely on one mtt with a few friends and sky regs. We ended up recording it although ended half way through as it was taking a while. Some of the guys where wanting to grind and Rougecell was busy setting fire to her house. For those interested ill add the link below.

Mixed feelings

I'll start by putting a new link to the slightly shortened version of the hand discussion video. There was a slightly contraversial comment in the last 5 minutes of the video. No harm intended but best to be removed. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTZymYCRyZI&feature=youtu.be

Anyways back to the actual poker. I played a few events yesterday, one on stars.fr got unlucky in a 200BB pot with a set of 2's v TT on 235, guy hit backdoor spades to stay alive sigh left me crippled and i never recovered.

Winamax was my second busiest site, i had a few near cashes, but near cashes just ain't cashes, i won't complain as simply it is what it is.

Sky for once was my busiest site. And the other one i managed to do much on. The 6pm Guarenteed mtt seen me come 5th for around £18. Lost a huge flip on the bubble (5 cashed) and then ran into QQ when i shoved from the button with 5 bigs. Don't think i do anything different. 

I managed to win an all in sat for the rush mtt, for which i took the money. £22 put me in small profit for the day on sky only. 

The main i was really unlucky. I was spot dead for a chunk then got AQ in for 10 bigs, hit TJKxx v AT and still lost so yeah gg that. Obviously standard. The mini i had a sick heat in the first half hour, 5 heads including 3 in a single hand. That meant i was chip leader at the end of the first break. Things then got ugly, first hand, one guy opens, one call, shorty shoves (which was less than the open) i re-shove from BB with AK. Caller tanks and is covered by me, and calls with Q2s. Shorty has AQ. 2xxxx yeah well played sir, but trully proves why the overjam is of great use in this spot. 

We then moved table lost a flip and a 60/40 which where also both for heads, i did manage one more double, before losing a flip on the stone bubble (AK v QQ) thankfully someone else bust and i scraped a min cash.

I must admit to being very disappointed with yesterdays results, but lots of positives to take away from it.

I would also like some thoughts, typing isn't one of my strong points, and i would be interested in turning this into a VLOG rather than typing up. This would make my life slightly easier, and might appeal to readers/listeners as you would be able to put it on in the background while you live your lifes. 

I am now giving that as an option for others though, and I'm happy to maintain writing if that is the prefered method.

Interesting vids Don, if not a bit too long. I had to create a drinking game to make it more fun. If anyone else wants to play it, every time Andy says "passive fish" have a swig of beer.  Just make sure you're fully stocked up and have no committments the following day

A5o shipping over the raise and 2 calls? I personally let it go, it's one of those where you shove and hope for folds, then get a call, find yourself dominated and hate yourself for not waiting for an easier spot. You'll probably get through the first guy, but any pockets 77+ and AT+ is going to snap you off I feel, don't think you get many Kx hands to run with you there. imo.

The Honey Badger is a Badass

So yesterday i planned a long grind. Starting at 11.40ish i planned to play right through till 9/10. However i ended around  5/6. 

The day seen me playing around 21 mtts, over my 5 sites. At the start of the day it was clear i needed to cash on 2 of those sites. The bankroll i had to them was dwindling. Not that I'm complaining that is standard for a small mtt bankroll and i have the largest bankroll i've ever had spread across 5 sites at present. This makes being an mtt player easier for game selection. 

Anyways the round up was as follows. With results as best as i can remember. I am also looking at EV graphs, as that tells me exactly how many mtts i played aswell. 

3 Bounty Hunters on Sky Poker. I failed to cash, 2 near misses but did take about 10/11 quid in heads so not a disaster. One i blew up in but was OOP to this one guy who was running hotter than a fire poker. Annoyingly his range was also any two cards thus he was running that hot while playing every hand, gg me. 

3 mtts on pokerstars france. I did manage 1 min cash, and a head on another. Run grim tho, ev chart says 200BB -ev. Over 3 mtts thats pretty insane. (EV is based against actual hand when money went in) 

5 mtts on winamax. All where non-progressive bounty hunters (€1 per head does not change) or deepstacks. 0 cahses here running 140BB -EV aswell. 

Normal stars was 6 mtts, -80BB in ev but thats pretty standard. Actually suprised this was also low as i got an insane 3 way all in in a 435BB pot. UTG open shoved Q2o. BTN reshoves AJo i snap with KK in the SB. Board runs out Kxxxx all hearts, thus my top set is playing the board, the AJ has the nuts gg me. Obviously thats 3 way all in pre so maybe much less based in equity v 3 random cards and the over. 

FTp again -50BB in ev over 4 mtts. However i managed to bite the bullet through it on this site, maybe a credit to how i was playing, maybe just abit of other variance running in my favour. But i got HU in an mtt called "Honey Badger" this was basically a non-progressive bounty hunter $1 per head, whiich i took 5/6. Anyways I offered a deal HU (mostly because i haven't seen out an mt in ages) and the chip stacks where close. I got an extra $18 over the other lad.

As a result of that i ended up being sent several honey badger documentaries on facebook. Hense the title. 

Sorry for sharing the EV charts if you dont care for them, i done that partially because they where there, and secondly to annoy Greghogg who told me to stop moaning about variance.

My next update i might test out a VLOG, not sure weather to use a webcam or screenshare for it though. lol. Any suggestions would be welcomes

Lambert180

FWIW, all in chip EV graphs aren't the be all and end all (or even a close indication) of whether you ran good or not. Say you raise TT, get flatted by 99, both flop sets and you stack him. The graph will just show it as a win that you're gonna win nearly all the time but doesn't take into account how lucky you were to be in that spot. Or you flat a 3bet with AQ and get it in on AQx against AK... again your all in EV is smashing it but that doesn't reflect how lucky you were to be in that spot.

The reverse of that is like getting it in KK v AA pre... looks like you're running standard cos you lost the hand and you 'should' have lost the hand but that doesn't take into account how unlucky you are to run KK into AA.

Nice one on bagging the Honey Badger though.

Strangely enough both Winamax, and full tilt was supposed to be different. Annoyingly it turned out i opened a FTP account 4 years ago and couldn't create a new one  

Winamax i was going to be 'need€formilk' based on a donism. Annoyingly some poor soul actually had that. 

I am very much bored of this alias and when i find a new site with a decent schedule i will almost certainly be something different.

P.S. rumour has it u had a massive day today, will ur diary emerge from the woodwork 

The_Don90

A rough day

The honey badger spirit really had to come out in me today. Im not sure there was that much of it to be honest. 

I was slow to start, Mel had an emergancy dentist appointment, thus that meant i was home alone with the little one. Obviously i don't mind that, and i did managed to get 2 games in while that was the case, a bh on sky and deepie on winamax. 

I min cashed the deepie, and came close in the bh, both exits where flips. When Mel got home it was clear this was going to set a pattern. 

Overall i played 5 games on sky, 4 on stars.fr, 6 on winamax and 5 on FTP 

I would make another min cash on stars.fr i feel kind of dirty i realised the mtt was over for me, past recovery, adding that id bust all but 5 of the other mtts i decided to fold to the min cash to recoop some losses. I also managed another min cash on winamax. 

I had a further 2 very close calls to a cash. However the best result was on FTP again. 14th this time, was very ul in several spots in this mtt. on nut FH v Quads, and then v the same oppo i 3b shove and he snapped with 8 high. board runs out A9T88 erm yeah well played sir. 

I feel overall happy with the day, i managed to recoop £40 worth of entries back with the cashes, it was a very horrible day and i feel we could have easily been celebrating another 3 figure score today. Instead things didn't fall our way and we're celebrating keeping losses to a minimum. 

Onto the next.

The_Don90

A day of mixed emotions

So today i woke up around 12noon and started a grind quickly after. I can't remember the full details. Again over the standard 5 sites. 

I got off to a horrible but standard start. But as the day went on i was getting happier and happier with how i was playing. Eventually i won the 2.30pm bh. From around 10 left i felt i had a good chance of winning it and that turned out the be the case. 

The 4.30 bh i also came close in finnishing 8/9th i was ul, i spunn 4k into 40k and chip lead seeing very few flops and 0 showdowns. Anyways a few standard spots went against me and i ran out of steam. In hindsight i play one single spot i missed, other than that more than happy with how i played it. 

.fr sees the disappointment though. I had 100% br (site based) in play over 3 mtts. The last one of those standind was a €1 rebuy, of which i was in for the single €1. Anyways it had 3000 runners, i made a brutal mistake with 60 players left, and then i lost a standard 60.40 comming 57th. Without the mistake its a much much deeper run and potential win. Insteat i broke even on site.

No cashes on any of the 3 other sites. Pokerstars is starting to worry me i dont think ive cashed for more than $1 in my passed 100 or so mtts there, i know thats just variance but meh. 

Today also seemed like the softest day ive ever played of poker. but meh.

A profitable day with an mtt win to boost. Don has remembered how to see these bad boys out. 

Edit: just checking elsewhere and i tel a lie, it seems i got 34th for a cash in a kill the fish on winamax. A kill the fish event is much similar to a bh bar its €1 per head.
