![]() Lol I have zero self control . Instead of MTTs , I decided to play $100nl 6max and 1/2 plo shortstack (20-50bbs table) . W/e managed to win $400 or so and bought $420 in Eppy's 1 night bas on 2+2 . Right now he's down to the last 3 in the 100r 6max on stars so wooohhoooo plus he's itm of the $109 30k on ftp . So should make some decent money from that gamble/investment

![]() Well , all in all it's been a pretty solid month (see graph below)

Anyway , Im gonna follow a grindback formula as follows in 45mans. Just gonna play x games and then move up regardless of br. In fact , I will try not to even look at the br and if it won't let me reg then I'll know that I'm busto ![]() 250 x $3.25/$6.50 45s mix 250 x $6.50/12 45s 250 x $6.50/12/27 45s 250 x $12/27/38 45s and $12 180s See where we're at after those (prob busto) GL me ! |

![]() 5 hours later - 130 games played . Was 25-30 tabling mostly (obv a lie as Veidtmeister clearly knows that noone rly plays more than 8 at once) , apart from when i run out of $ early on and was down to 15 tables at one point . Made a good comeback tho. Had to look at sharkscope because tableninja was messed up with how many games I'd played . Looks like about 130 games and br is $485 . flipflipflipfliping boring tho

![]() Slight upswing
![]() Goal for 2011 btw is £100k profits which sounds crazy but I made $95k last year so its like another $60k on top of that . Seems kind of ridiculous to have $ goals in poker tho since you just win as much as you can obv . Could be $50k , could be $200k . Could be $0 or negative but lets hope not ![]() |

![]() London was fun just being there and crusing around on the tube and stuff. Live tourneys are slow as fk and a waste of time rly but played a lot of live cash and ended about £3k up which was a result
![]() Anyway now I am taking a break from poker for a while and going travelling again , maybe on a round-the-world trip ! I will take my laptop so I can hopefully earn some money on the way once I get round to it . Maybe will put up a few shortterm bas's for a few days - one week when I feel like it , wherever I am in the world , to avoid risking too much of my travel money . Got about $50k saved and ready to be spent ![]() ![]() Going to Southern Italy first of all , visiting Naples , Pompeii and climbing Mount Vesuvius like a proper tourist. And chill out on some beaches on the Amalfi coast ![]() ![]() ![]() Should be leaving within the next week as long as I can get everything sorted . Just going to buy a one way ticket to Naples and take it from there which is prob the expensive way of doing things but if I got a round-the-world ticket you have a set route and I'm no good at planning like that - it's not how I roll ![]() Well gl to all surfers , especially goldenboy Johnny4f . And Jamblance silvergirl (not rly gold status yet tho she's working on it ... ![]() |

![]() Quick update I suppose... been to Italy and Greece was pretty cool . Spent a week windsurfing on the island of Rhodes which I haven't doen for a loooong time (used to be a windsurfing fanatic ) . Then bizarrely flew to Brussels because it was a cheap flight . Stayed in Belgium for 2 days and then left . Belgium is a dump but I managed to lose 700e in the casino there before I left - good times !
![]() Now I'm in Spain (again) . So far my round the world trip hasn't got out of europe.... and next week I'm moving in to live with a spanish chick I know from last time I was here so idk how long I'll be staying ![]() Didn't play any poker for ages and then started again a week or two ago but meh running bad so far . Feel like I'm playing rly good tho . A break can rly help you think fresh about the game Well that's it . It's insanely hot here like 32°c every day so I've got a good tan . Getting fat again tho form all the cokes I keep drinking , might have to switch to coke zero OBB styleee Oh well that's it . GL to everyone in scoop and ftops . And extra gl to the horse of the year johnny4f ![]() |

![]() Still in spain in Seville . Sooooo hot every day like 35-40 degrees . Spanish chick is cool , idk there's soo many hot girls here tho that it's hard to say "oh yeh I def want to be with this girl" . I decided not to live with her though , idk too much rly I just wanna chill out. If only I was better at seducing women but I'm terrible at it sigh. Haha I change my mind a lot anyway plus I lack morals so it's not like it's going to last
![]() ![]() The reason is that I find the long hours of mtt sessions tough these days . I've been doing that for a long time and cashgames are obv completely flexible timewise. I will still play mtt sessions sometimes , particularly on sundays which I enjoy because of the big prizepools. So far I'm losing but I feel like it won't take long for me to start winning regularly . Then it's move up stakes quickly and get lots of rb ![]() ![]() Plus milestones etc and could be looking at $6k/month Ha we'll see . Not exactly crushing the games yet but I'm moving up to 100nl today . If I drop $1k I'll move back down but I might as well get good at the sort of limit I want to play rather than getting good at 25nl and then having to readjust when I move up Lolgraph to follow ![]() Shout out to DrJ in Vegas ! Sounds like you're having a great time but I'm still waiting on news of you going for the bracelet ![]() ![]() And thanks to DQS for one of his comments made me decide to give cashgames a proper try . Well maybe i should thank him after I've actually stopped losing all my money but yeh sometimes one comment from one person can really kind of make you think "yeh why not?" . Just need to be realistic that it will take effort and I am prepared to lose money learning Last edited by Frogman3 : 03-07-2012 at 08:53 AM. |

![]() Well i played 15k hands in total and I can confidently say that cashgames are not for me... I just don't have the mentality for them . They're just so endless that I always try to create action and I do ok for a bit then I stack off a whole buyin or two (or three) in some triple barrel bluff type situation . Meh hopefully I learned something from them tho which will help me play better in tourneys

![]() Poker is so stagnant atm . I'm pretty bored of it because I'm not really getting anywhere . No big scores or anything and been on a bit of a downswing but nothing major . Just kind of treading water. Oh well... in other news , going kickboxing today for the first time
![]() ![]() ![]() Every single day is hot and sunny here it's insane . I haven't seen rain for 2 months . And around 3pm all the streets are empty because it's over 100F . I like the heat though so it's all good Only thing I hate is mosquitos ![]() |

![]() Ok updating this whilst bored and 2-tabling at end of nightmare session . Good news ! - In 6 figure profits for year ! (see graph) . Bad news
![]() ![]() ![]() Playing staked for the last 9 weeks . Was 10k up on the stake after a couple of weeks and we cashed that out . Since then I've been up to $7k in makeup , then back to only $700 down and now currrently $3700 in mu grrrrr . I just wanna clear it and prob end the stake with a bit of profit plus my share of fpps / bonuses because I have over 100k fpps now also Oh well that's a pretty boring blogpost but I'm kind of depressed with poker atm ![]() Last edited by Frogman3 : 03-07-2012 at 08:53 AM. |

![]() 2012 is the year Froggy becomes a cashgame grinder ! Yes I've tried before and never succeeded but this time it's serious
![]() I don't have the desire to play long mtt sessions anymore . I really struggle with the hours and the variance . Yes in the shortterm I can make a lot more money at mtts but if I put in the time and effort at cashgames I'm sure I can make the same and probably more at cashgames with much more time flexibility and hopefully less annoying variance . At least if I'm running bad allin at cashgames I can see my ev line going up which helps to deal with it. Since xmas I have been putting some proper effort into winning steadily at nl 6max . I have a deuces cracked sub and I'm putting more effort into using HEM effectively . Also I'm being very careful not to start tilting because that has always been my main problem. If I'm feeling tilted I just take a break. What I have learned adjusting from tourneys to cash Preflop ranges are generally tighter . If I get 3bet I'm usually folding without a big hand or good odds to see a flop . Ofc sometimes I'll 4bet light (and by light I mean even a hand as strong as TT) depending on opponent which leads me to my next point Adjust to opponent tendencies much more . In tourneys I generally just play a std game regardless of opponent at least until deep . In cash every hand is isolated and it's much more important to adjust how you play hands depending on opponent's playing style . KQ on Qxx flop is cbet and play cautiously on turn v some players (nitty regs) . The same hand is bet/bet/allin v a loose passive fish . Taking notes and paying attention is more important . 6 or 7 tabling seems optimal so far for being able to really focus on who's doing what whilst maximising no. of hands played and hopefully $/hr . I guess I could learn to play a TAG game and 16-20 table but I'm more interested in learning to crush and moving up stakes rather than grinding out a living at low limits. Respect position more . In tourneys I can get away with raising any playable hand from any position depending on stacksize and table dynamics . In cash it's generally just not profitable to be raising light from ep because noone is worried about their tourney life . Players are much more willing to see a flop and ofc I end up playing oop with a weak starting hand . I'm not quite sure what the difference is between tourneys and cash in this regard but maybe it's because it's really difficult to pressurise opponents in cashgames because there's way less fear factor ![]() I think of cashgames as something like the 15/30 level in a 1500 chip mtt . You don't have to wait for AA or KK to get it allin pre but equally there's no need to 3bet suited connectors from the btn unless you have good reason/reads to do so. There's no rush to amass chips either although obv you don't want to miss +ev spots when they arise but generally folding when unsure is the better option and waiting for more profitable spots . Nitty folds cost less than spewy calls and bluffs So far (since xmas) I'm up around $870 incl rb after 16k hands .That's a mix of 10nl-100nl . The majority of hands have been at 50nl which is where I feel most comfortable atm . So I'll post my 50nl graph which I'm quite pleased with . The sample is still way too small to get any real indication if I'm beating the games or not but that's all I got so far ![]() FYI The bottom redline is non-showdown winnings , the blue line is showdown winnings . Then the other redline is my expected winnings and the green line is actual winnings . So far at least everything is looking as it should ![]() Last edited by Frogman3 : 03-07-2012 at 08:53 AM. |

I give up, cant do it anymore just cant win whatever i do badbeats all day everyday, coolers suckouts non stop...confidence has taken a knock for the first time ever I quit im done no morepoker fck it obv cant beat it gonna go get a job @ mcdonalds bb - KevinThorn's blog entry -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an example of a negative mindset I've been working closely with my guru and mentor BlueRain who has really stressed the importance of a positive mindset in cashgames. He's come up with some helpful ideas and little tricks to stop me playing badly or tilting due to negative thoughts and feelings . These suggestions include: Take a Break Take a day off Take another day off Take a week off Sit on a table and click "wait for big blind" then leave table before big blind reaches you Don't play poker this month etc All very helpful tips but in the end I had to fire him because for some reason I found my volume really seemed to drop massively around the time he was mentoring me ![]() ![]() Still going good with the cashgames , mixing up 50nl and 100nl . l try not to worry about my profits and br and just play . Still too early to tell if I'm even a winning player for sure but I think I am just because of the ridiculous fishy things some players do . I don't generally do anything fishy although I'm sure I miss a lot of value in some spots and make mistakes regularly . Doesn't matter tho because I like to run approx 25% above ev ![]() Last edited by Frogman3 : 03-07-2012 at 08:53 AM. |

![]() Still working on my game . Getting crazy aggressive now but controlled (most of the time
![]() ![]() 6max stats since xmas although I missed maybe 1k hands from yesterday when HEM wasn't working because of stars update . Nothing amazing yet but I'm happy enough with it because I feel like I'm getting better at 50nl and hopefully that will give me more confidence at higher limits . Oh yeh 200nl didn't go so well so prob wait a bit before I attempt that again Last edited by Frogman3 : 03-07-2012 at 08:53 AM. |
