Day 6

Sorry for the lack of updates. I didn't play much at all on friday or saturday. I was up around $0.00 for friday/saturday only played a few hands. Barely played at all so far today, maybe put in an hour tops so far, but I just stacked some guy at $50nl I think I'm up around $60 or $70 for today so far. I think I'm gonna play a bunch more later tonight though, so I'm not gonna update the totals yet. It might be the 12th by the time I update it if I play through midnight tonight.


Edit****** So after I watched the rerun of the hilarious guitar hero episode of South Park I played some more $50nl heads-up tables. I spent a little while trading small pots with a few opponents, but I kept standing up from tables and finding new opponents, cuz I don't really want to play long matches against anyone who doesn't seem to have immediately obvious major flaws in their game. I mean, maybe 10-20% of the players at the $50nl heads-up tables are just TERRIBLE, like as in the kinds of players who will call your preflop raise with queen 3 offsuit, and then when the flop comes k q 7 they call your c-bet of $2 on the flop, and then on the turn they don't improve but they call your $5 bet anyway, and then on the river they still don't improve at all, but they call your $12 bet on the river anyway etc. I mean THAT is who you want your heads up opponent to be. Not some guy who just plays tag and never does anything stupid or dangerous. Even if you play good against a tough tag, at $50nl I would think it would be tough to even beat the sick rake. So I really try to stand up as quickly as I can if I don't think my opponent is too horrible, and I just keep looking around till I find a soft opponent.

Anyway, so as I was saying, I skip around a little bit looking for a big donkey, and finally I find one. He buys in for $50 too, which is great, cuz a lot of the donks like to buy in for $10-$30, so its always nice when they aren't just a donk, but a donk with lots of dough. So anyway he plays just absolutely TERRIBLE. I mean just a few hands in I pick up QQ in the big blind. I could already tell he might not be so good, because of his constant overbets on all the previous hands. So as usual he raises me preflop this time to $2 (although he raised bigger sometimes). I reraise to $6 and he reraises all in for $50. With KK it woulda been a total snapcall but with QQ its a little tougher, but I called pretty quickly anyway since he just wasn't looking at all like a TAG and I figured his range was probably like at best maybe JJ+ with AK, which would be around even-EV for me to call, or if my hunch was right that he was just a huge donk, then who knows what he had. Turns out he had Ace 5 lolllllll. So he loses. Then he has like $1.20 or something, so I sit out, and the he types "wyf" (mispelling wtf I probably) and rebuys for $50. So I sit back in and he continues to play terrible, maybe worse even. Finally I am sitting at over $150 a few minutes later and he rebuys back to $50 as usual. He finally tightens way up though and stops playing all crazy so I just stand up and leave. Anyway, I can see now just how much money can be made if you really try select soft opponents, it just feels soooooo much easier to make money off horrible players in a deepstacked hu nl cash game than solid tag players to me.

Anyways as usual I'm getting a little carried away with all the typing, here's the numbers for today:

Day 6 start: +$360.93

Day 6 end: +$570.18

Money needed: $4,429.82


(if I end up playing any more hands after I already posted the day's results, I just lump in whatever happens that night into the following day's results, so if I play more hands today for example, any changes in my bankroll will go into my update for tomorrow)
