Upswongzzzzz

Feels good to be on an heater... everything after the vertical cliff at the start is 100NL with a bit of 25NL thrown in:

Also Ponder (AtlienCP) lost his 20k prop bet so I'm up another $250 from that. If you haven't read about it, I definitely recommend you check it out, it's pretty epic and even though he lost he deserves a ton of credit. I'm just glad I didn't lose $1k, lol.

Up about $2.3k in the past 10 days, ship the cheddar

Funny convo that went on in the kitchen earlier:

Me: "I wanna grind... but I gotta do my Asymptotic Methods sheet"

G: "Yeah probs ought to do that"

Me: "I know... if I win $300 grinding then I'll quit and do the sheet"

G: "You know stop-wins are retarded... why don't you make it stuck 300 instead?"

Me: "Do you really think I'll be in the mood to do Asymptotic when I'm stuck $300???"

1 hour later I'm $310 richer and am about to start my Asymptotic sheet. =D

K-Swizzles

Got some new shoes today. Sweet.

On the poker front, I did my coaching session with the Crafty Cockney who owned me 2-0 in the uFR HU tourney, he's a fellow UK grinder so it was good fun. Played a swingy session yesterday where I got stuck 5BI or so but managed to break even, thank god for rakeback, lol.

I'm gonna be making another 25NL vid over the next few days - I got a request for a vid on starting tables, so that is likely to be the main focus.

Also, dunno if anyone has noticed but GOD DAMN IT'S SO F COLD OUTSIDE! Was cycling to lectures today and thought my ears were gonna fall off... time to invest in a wooly hat imo

On the road to robusto

Yesterday was the most tilted I've been in a while... my worst day before that was about -$400 so it really did my head in and I had to go for a walk at 2am to clear my mind, lol

Luckily today went a lot better - I stuck to 100NL and ran well, crushed it for just over $800:

Also I have a small piece of someone in a WPT event and he's in the money with an above average stack so please ship the $910k first prize one time, gogogo... if he makes the FT I just about should be unstuck for the month =)

Here's some sexy triple barrels from today (3rd one might be slightly spewy but meh):

MARVELLOUS

Today's checklist:

[x] Have computer crash with set vs 2 fish at 400NL

[x] AT < A8 in 3bet pot at 400NL

[x] Get hacked for $450

Total damage: $1150

October Results

Just played a pretty sick swingy session to wrap up this month, +$840ish total which is not bad considering awful volume

October graph:

Hope to play more next month...

Also I released my first official BFPC vid last week - (schedule here: http://www.bestfreepokercoaching.com/release.php). Check it out, and more importantly check out my new one when it comes out this week... I played 6 tables this time and recorded the audio afterwards, so there are lots of good spots in there, really happy with it so I hope you guys enjoy it =)

Ante up

I've been pretty busy since getting back to uni but I've played a couple thousand hands, mainly on the new deep ante tables which are totally awesome. Was playing some 50NL FR ante a few days ago and some 50NL 6max ante today, has been going pretty well. My graph from today:

Obv ran hot but was absolutely killing it, red line was ridiculous - the ante tables are a great excuse to make all the thin, borderline spewy plays you always wanted to make, the extra dead money makes it all good, lol. Also at 50NL it seems most regs don't adjust to the added aggression that well, they either play too tight or they get really tilted (see below)

I'd just 3bet about 4 times in 2 orbits:
