Cheese and Whine

EDIT: This is a more fitting blog title.

Totally face stomped LOL

Yes, it's every bit as bad as it looks - got straight up demolished by some guy HU I was up a quick 4 buyins on him, coolering the hell out of him left and right.

Then it turns out I'm pretty shit at deep PLO and not all that great at dealing with 30% 3bet either. Guy played very well (in my opinion) and I might have to practice avoidance vs him in the future. Went from +800$ vs him to -140$ (+12.80$ on the session, ship the cheeseburgers).


My session started out brilliantly (like every other HU session I have ever played) by dropping 2 buyins in 4 hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774567 - (2 hands in one!)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774568 - weak.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774569 - Check/behind owned me T_T

However, after this followed a serious boomswitch:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774572 - nhnh
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774573 - Sweet 500bb pot. Would have tilted soooo hard if he rivered me (he has 45% equity on turn).

Next, my eventual nemesis sat down. To make the match fair, the poker gods boomswitched me:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774626 - Boomswitch Begins
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774622 - Boomswitch The Second Coming
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774623 - Boomswitch Returns
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774621 - Boomswitch Episode 1 which is really Episode 5.

Now, that was fun. I knew I'd be playing a little bad now (I tend to play bad when up a lot) but I'm never gonna quit someone whom I've won 4 buyins off in like 50 hands. He deserves at least a couple of hours IMO (even though I could tell he wasn't a bad player).

Cue come back:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774620 - "Lol I'm up so much money, I can do anythin... damnit"
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774617 - Oops.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774618 - I am not sure what he had here, I would sort of assume a wrap, because a few hands later he just c/c twice with second set on a similiarly dry board, very weird given this hand I would say. Not sure what to think.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774647 - See above. Really confused.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774616 - I really, really, really should pull the trigger here Ahhhhhhhh, I need to borrow some of Freak's heart.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774615 - No idea what I'm doing here on the turn - I guess protection betting? Maybe I was tired and didn't realize I had a second ace? I'm not sure, it's a bit of a mess.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774641 - My feeling is that if he's gonna bluff he'd do it on the turn, since by betting the river it's basically the easiest call for me to make? >_<
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774644 - I hate bottom 2 -.-
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774645 - Was gonna check ship turn... Hm. Meh.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774646 - What to do on turn here? I know he likes to c/c A LOT after 3betting, even with pretty decent draws.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774614 - Only all-in I lost vs him THAT's how badly he stomped on me.


Session saving hand:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774624

LOTS more 25 bb pots lost, his redline is basically a copy of Isildur's I think I played pretty well at 100bb and maybe even 150bb, but at 200+ I just got really, really, really raped. I sort of stopped 3betting because I didn't feel comfortable 3betting marginal hands deep, but then I just ended up check/folding or leading too much and I feel like I didn't really get much momentum playing this way.

I also should have 4bet A LOT wider (I actually 4bet folded a KK** hand once when really deep which I immediately realized what a terrible mistake that was, no idea what I was thinking, we were literally like 300bb deep), which is something I did a little bit of in the beginning when still reasonably shallow and at the end (IIRC) once shallow again.

So I think I'm gonna try to work in a lot more 3bets, I think it was difficult to play against. And, as above, work on incorporating more hands into my 4betting range instead of just calling.

It's Shinji Sasaki's (professioanl fighter) entrance theme, instrumental piece that's really good imo. Tried googling but I guess he's just not well known enough in the english speaking world for me to find any info and I don't speak japanese.

I cut out the entrance bit from the last shooto event which has most of it:

Any help in identifying this song would be greatly appreciated =] The name of the 2nd song would be cool too.

Thanks.

I'd offer money on stars for it but I only have money on crypto, and they don't have p2p transfer.

EDIT: Chuiu on TL knew it, Yoshida Brothers - Storm

Sweet song

EDIT2: Before anyone takes this the wrong way, I'm not actually THAT titled - I don't even have to move down (although I probably will play less 5/10 just for a while). It just feels good to rage a bit :D
Anyway, even though I have ran pretty bad it's not like I'm without leaks, and I don't consider myself to be "one of the best 5/10 players at ipoker" by any stretch, I'm probably a dog in many of the games but I generally table select well.

So while I don't think any of these are LPers: XynDen, stop winning flips with your pocket tens. LCFan, god damn you and your weird play. That is all, I need breakfast.

EDIT: An alternative title could be "I'm a stubborn donkey who doesn't know when to quit".

FUCK FLIPS (this is the 3rd time I write this, the first time I was tilted, the second time I was oddly less tilted after having to re-write my post from accidentally clicking a link, now the 3rd time I'm re-tilted as I forgot to fill in my blog title and have to do everything all over again - SIGH).

Todays session(s):

A huge FU to that.

This month (actually more like the last 1.5 weeks)

A huge sigh to the allin EV.


Eh I'm content with that.

Lost flips!!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514573 - XynDen 1, TianYuan 0
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514505 - XynDen 2, TianYuan 0
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514506 - One time --
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514504 - What if I have the PP, what then? Stupid question.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514145 - This is almost a flip, AA vs flushdraw. Ahhhh what a lovely 2nd hand of a session.

Won flips
This section is empty. I could perhaps find a couple vs SSs but I ignored the flips I lost vs them so w-ever.

Various

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514615 - asdffssgdfdfdfjfddhgj5567, this was the hand that caused me to just close all the tables.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514137 - Lovely follow up to the AA hand, 83% to win is apparently not enough.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514136 - Let's just add a lil bit of set under set action to make things juuuuust perfect.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514555 - Thank you for giving me such a wonderful river vs the super fish.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514543 - Guy joins table. Guy min3bets me his first hand. Guy obv has KK.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514512 - Spazz fish ships teh nut no pair no draw, spikes river. Awesome.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514554 - Reveeeeeeenge.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514415 - A miracle he didn't have quads here imo.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514447 - This was just my own fault, although I really didn't think he had that much.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514413 - 9s vs Ts bvb. ZZZZZZZZZZZ
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514346 - Le sigh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514152 - Ty for the donation, I only wish it was bigger.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514150 - A setup in my favour, imagine that.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514149 - See above.


Weird spot
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514342 - In hindsight I think I should just be betting here until he raises, get value from 8s to Ts, maybe even jacks. Esp. with a spade.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514148 - Well this obviously didn't go so great. I don't know how I should play this.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514139 - I was seriously considering folding here, thought he could only really have KK -_- But I timed down and called at the very last second.

TianYuan vs JoeMiller - cooler city (the only person I ran good vs, very good vs even)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514635 - Wee x1
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514414 - Wee x2
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514581 - Wee x3

Hya-fucking-ha.

Not that this really hurts my ability to take some more shots at soft 5/10 games at all really, but it suuuuucks.
