Hand analyses pls.

AK meets resistance...

Should this be a fold? Or is the raise fine?
What is his reraising range?
How should i proceed after raised??

Yesterday i played 2k hands. Collected about 1k FPP's. Lossed $55 but i was down $150 at one point.

Villains got the most incredible suckouts. Or i pushed a combodraw, got called by AK and i didn't improve. Flopping a set vs a flopped flush. etc.

Let's hope a better time is coming now. I'm getting pretty sick of the swings, so i maybe go back to 4 tabling. The discipline you need to have for 9 tablin is so high.

SWINGS

Since i have been 9-tabling the swings are pretty sick. As easy as you win so easy you loose it all. On monday i dropped down from $566 to $508... due very much hitboxes.

One time 2nd nuts vs first nuts.
Two times a villain flops the flush against a set and an overpair.
One time Villain flops a str8 vs my middle set. (T8o... come on)
One time i pushed the turn on a AK9 7 board with AK in a reraised pot. And villain calls J2s for a turned flush.
One set over set situation i lossed.

So that where my bad beats.

Yesterday is went from $508 up to $588 in about an hour and after a some distraction in my home situation, where my mother was complaining about my pokergame i hitted nothing anymore and droppend back to $500. (not due bad play but ppl limping aces on the button and i catch KK on the BB, another AA limping UTG+1 vs my QQ in the SB. KK vs flopped set on a 8 high board.) And i closed my session @ $ 528 and i have achieved SILVERSTAR. So i can start becoming a goldstar. Stars doesn't take rake with pots below $1 so on 25NL i finally get some speed in my ranking.

1,500 VPP in 6,5k hands ( i thought )
4,000 VPP should be made in about 15k hands to become a goldstar.

I think I can achieve goldstar next month.

I'll try to post some hands next time. Text based isn't all that fun to read.

Another good session

Yesterday I had another good session. So this weekend is becoming one of the best after a big downswing with some stupid plays.

In cashgames I made this weekend a $130 profit and in tourneys I gained about $130. I played a good game this weekend with some wrong bluffs that turned out good and some good bluffs that went wrong :).

Al together my bankroll went up to a new record: $ 566 (Wich is a 870% growth in 2 months, no stockmarket trader will achieve that ;) )
I accumulated about 1k FPP's now. ( about 400 on sunday only due to the promotions on stars)

Some goals end of may:
- At least a $700 bankroll
- Trying to take a shot @ 50NL
- Achieve Silverstar (with the promotion of the 10Bth hand on stars it is easy, im allready halfway)

Off poker:
I'm not playing 17K hand this month i guess. From wednesday till Sunday I will be off for a weekend of sailing with a lot of friends. We go to Friesland, a part of the netherlands with lots of water. With some other poker fanatics i try to gain in live poker. With the most of them don't play a lot online for real money I shouldn't try to bluff that much.

Quick update:

i didn't had much time to play....

And i had a big losing streak, combined with donkeyplay from my side of the table i didn;t gain much.


Bankroll: $520

Playing: 25NL

First Session of this month:

I had an incredible session, but not due the big winnings. But i played 450 hands and my most dealed hand was KK (11 times) but with a lot of A high flops and villains don't call a cbet etc it wasn't to good. My profits where 24.44 bb/100 and i gained $ 21.70.

I started my month some days later due the nice weather and some social activities. Yesterday we wen't after my session to the 2nd house of a friends parrents. Some ppl took over the house and barricaded the driveway. In Dutch we call them "krakers", but I dunno the English word. It is so frutrating, they where under influence of liqour and drugs as it seemed, and we couldn't kick them out of al the rules they make for that scumbags. So we called the cops and they got arrested for being drunk in public.

If they are still there on saturday, we planning to take some action. :0)

To be continued....

Changing to Full Tilt Poker?

I'm considering a site change. This is for not achieving enough FPP's on the lower limits to make it to silverstar. Also Pokerstars doesn't have rake back.
When i play 50NL with my avg hands of 590 a day, i make $ 380 a month on rakeback. They also have a Deposit Bonus code: 100% up to 600.
If i deposit my complete bankroll of $400 i could make $400 with playing break even.

If anyone has some other ideas i would like to hear them.
