The AQ guy was playing quite erratic and thats why I raised so much preflop. I figured there was a chance I was behind when he riased but had a lot of outs with the K, T, or backdoor flush.

Week Recap

Here are my results from the last week.

Holdem:

Omaha: $445

Fpps: 16049. This equates to $257 when I cash them in.


Total = $1327

If I can get more weeks like this I am all for it. That being said I played a lot of omaha and I dont see myself playing that much every week. I just like it to mix it up once in awhile as its a fun game.

Tomorrow the wife has some school show thing after work and she wont be home till late. I hope to get in quite a few hands.

Monday Morning QB

Went Christmas shopping on Saturday, it was ok, although insane amounts of people still tilt me. Ended up coming home and playing a little Omaha Saturday night and made another $160. Sunday I played a little more Omaha, one session Sunday morning, and another Sunday night. I ran so bad in both it was sick. I dont have any tracker software but if I did I would say I was down about 400-500 in equity. It was actually quite insane considering they were $50 tables. Ayways, in the end I made like $60.

I am updating the stake tonight after work, so when I do I will post the graph and my week's winnings.

PS The wife and I saw Four Christmases yesterday. It was a 5/10 at best. Even Vince Vaughn couldnt save it.

Omahahahaha and some Morning Poker

Last night after work I felt about as useful as tits on a bull but I took a nap and some cold medicine pills something or other and started to feel better. My wife went out at about 8 with some friends so I thought I should play some. That being said I had no urge to grind out some holdem as multitabling requires a clear head, something that I didnt have. So I hopped on some 6max 25-50cent pot limit omaha tables. I played about 4-5 hours and ended up making about $175. I was up about $250 but lost a little at the end. I like playing omaha as its full of action but the software availible for omaha is lacking so I never know how much Im making. I know Im a winner at $50 and $100 tables, but how much Im not sure. Kind of annoying.

This morning I started feeling much better and my wife was a little worse for wear so I hopped on and played some holdem. 16 tabling 100NL. I played for a little under 3 hours and made $260. I am really hoping to hop back on tonight as I think I could have a pretty solid day.

The wife and I are heading downtown for some Christmas shopping soon (3rd last Saturday before Christmas in Glasgow. It'll be a mad house. God I hate crowds of people while shopping.) but afterwards I think we are gonna come home and chill.

Heres to hoping

PS

I am going to be aiming for 60K hands a month from now till the summer. That would also mean I keep Supernova through all the next year. The way it works is you must get 100K vpps through a calendar year to achieve Supernova. However, it only stays for the first 6 months of the following year provided you get 10K vpps each of those 6 months missing no more than one month. However, if I managed to get the 100K vpps in those six months, then I keep it for the remainder of the year, and so on. I have been thinking about what I want my goals to be next year and keeping 'Nova is important to meeting them. If I play 100NL with Supernova I am getting about 45% rakeback through the fpp bonuses which is pretty sick.

I truly believe my days of 50NL are behind me (read back about 2 months or so and I am pretty sure I already said that), but I am very sure of it this time. Whenever I moved up in the past I felt the need to change my game or adapt, but I am playing like I belong there. Maybe its a confidence thing, I dunno. The fact I cant lose money doesnt hurt either.

Anyways

November's Not My Style

Well I didnt post once in November. First time thats happened since I started the blog. The streak is dead, but I'll get over it.

So to update whats been going on in my online poker world.

The stake I am currently on for 100NL -200NL is alive and well. My first week was a bit of a learning curve at the new level and I promptly lost $730. That being said, my equity adjusted profit was -$300; so even though I lost, not terrible. The next week went much better and I actually won all my losses back. Week 3 was a bit shortened as I went to my wife's parents house for the weekend with no poker. So during that week I only made $150 or so. This week I played Tuesday night ($300 profit) and last night ($75 profit, which after being down $300 at one point was fine with me). I was going to play more tonight but I have felt like a bag of ass lately so I played a little 50NL pot limit heads up omaha. I won about $80 and then quit as I wanted to chill and watch some football. Tomorrow night my wife is going to some Christmas party for her work so I plan on playing quite a bit then.

100NL is a fun game and I am enjoying playing it more than I did 50NL. As far as the stake goes though, I need to make 10 buyins to jump to 200NL. I am currently on 5 buyins. I would love to get the next 5 this weekend. That being said, I am going to see if I want to jump up right away or stick around for awhile. But I will def be moving up for a few sessions right away just to test the waters and hope for a heater.

One thing that is great is the fpp accrual at 100NL compared to 50NL. Much faster; which is obviously great. I just cashed a 100K bonus for $1500, but the next bonus I plan on getting is the 250K bonus for $4000. Its a better rate that way.

Every Monday the stake gets updated, ie graphs and stats sent along with any profits/receiving losses. From now on during the stake I will post the graph each Monday as well.

Hopefully this weekend sees me hit my first $1000 day. I would really like to break that duck.

Heres to hoping.
