Mad Love on 2+2

So someone who does massive datamining of the 6max games on FTP posted up some results for like the last week and I was the biggest winner ! 2/4, one of the top 10 @ 3/6, and made the winners list for 5/10. This of course resulted is some discussion about me where the general consensus is that I'm horrible and have no clue what I'm doing.

I find this amusing as one of the people who talked about how horrible I was then proceeded to post a graph where he's literally breakeven or 96k hands and from his very lowest point to his very highest point (a period of about 40k hamds) it isn't half of what I made at his level in half the hands. I only know the screen names of a couple of people who've talked trash but of those I know I made more then them this month and I ran 28k below equity. Then somebody who was universally acknowledged as a good player, actually avoids me on another site though doesn't play as high as I do typically on it and I saw him post a hand history of someone elses play claiming it was his own because he needs to feel like he's good by getting acknowledgment from his peers or something. Basically my point is I really wouldn't put too much stock in the Reg Threads on 2+2 since most people who post in them are retarded.

One day it will even out

Right?

I gotta stop taking 25/50 PLO shots though after only playing a few hundred hands I can tell I'm +EV in the game. Even a lot of professionals play the game rather poorly. Unfortunately, I tried to run a bluff where I put a guy on a naked ace where he wouldn't have odd even with a set to draw against a flush and moved in on the turn. He of course did call with the naked Ace but also has a set which while it wouldn't have had odds to draw against a flush had me drawing dead. Oops, good lesson not to try to bluff people off of hands in PLO. I just managed to put up a 21k downswing (not all PLO) in the last 12 hours so my month is basically ruined pokerwise. I'll probably put up a ton of hands in the last few days @ 2/4 6max just so I hit the 100k hands mark I set for the month but unfortunately I don't think it's possible to run hot enough to even come close to my montery goal for the month sinceI'm now up less then 10k.

:youdbewisetorunwellwhiletakingshots

We need a guestbook or something

That's the follow up to the night I was taking lot of shots and ended up full stacking 25/50 PLO for a couple hours later on in the night. Busted my Stars account but played really well. PLO is such a sick action game and interesting from a strategy perspective as well. It really is the future. An example of the soul reading that didn't help me:

My buddy was in town from up north for a few days and we checked out the Tigers in spring training against the Reds and then went out drinking where I lost another c-note prop betting on what time people started drinking.


Today my boy Briz and I chashed around some donk on Stars who was making a heeb run and moved from being a total donk in 3-6 to playing 25-50 to more 25-50 to more 25-50 again and again and again then down to 10-20 & eventually 5-10 where I decided I wouldn't follow him lower then that and sure enough he ended up moving down to 1-2. Just a filthy sick gambler. Fortunately I was able to c/r AI against him with 3rd pair and the like which is the nuts and held (dude ran crazy hot) most of the time so I made just shy of 9k minus a small loss taking half of my friends action who couldn't get a hand.

Also running really well on FTP now the last couple days as I've been 12 tabling which is made crazy simple thanks to the new auto-top off feature which is the absolute hands down nuts and I love they've finally put that in. I still don't use a HUD and am 12 tabling shorthanded. At least I practice some game selection now?

Desireless

No motivation, no focus, no desire. Nothing. I don't know...I have lost my poker drive, my poker thought, my poker intelligence, creativity...whatever. I just don't care right now.

I don't want to play. At all. I'm forcing myself. The results aren't good because I'm not caring. Sometimes I'm playing simply out of habit but I'm hating every second of it.

I think I've seen too many hands. It's so reptitive. It's downright irritating.

I really don't know if I want to do this anymore...I'm not saying I'm quitting for good, I'm not saying I won't play tomorrow just because I'm bored, I'm not saying I'll never play...but I just don't want it right now. My head is not in it >85% of the time I play.

Running really poorly doesn't help.

I don't know what I want right now.

Straight Degen

Practically bnsted my Stars account over the past week so I do the only respectable thing, heeb run. Tried finding a flip for 5k and sat and played a little 25-50PLO while I waited for a response. I got one from a nosebleed stake player who also had a busted Stars account and not being able to do anything with it agreed to flip. So I left PLO and he never showed to flip. Unofrtunately the PLO games had filled but 200/400 H.O.R.S.E. was running so I figured "why not?" I was nice enough to misclick in StudHi when I made trips on 6th and save him a bet. Right after I start playing the guy who wanted to flip sat asking me if I still wanted to so I played through Stud8 and then flipped. He had about 3200 bucks and we decided to flip until one of our accounts where busted. I got dealt the stellar hand of Kd4s5s8s but I was somehow actually a favorite against his 2h3h8hJd. Playing way out my roll FTW! If I started smoking weed regularly I probably wouldn't do so much dumb shit with my money but since I'm typically +EV in my shot taking I guess it works out.

Break-even at it's best (worst?)

So like I promised I included a colorful graph for the blog. It's my graph for March so far using PT3 which is a big improvement over PT2. It confirms I do infact suck at poker. A litlte breakdown of what's going on in it.

Half of the hands are @ 5/10nl Full Ring (though I'll often play shorthanded or even headsup at full ring tables) and 45% are 3/6nl & 5/10nl 6max & 10/20nl FR with some misc. filling up the other 5 %.


Hands 1-11,000: I'm just not playing very well.

Hands 11,000-22,500: I'm now playing well but running well below equity in all-in pots and just running bad in the sense you can't quantify.

Hands 22,500-27,750: Variance evened out quick =]

Hand 28,400ish?: There was two donks and one pro playing 25-50 so I sat down to play. I played 3 hands and one of the donks bust and I decide I don't want to play 3 handed with the one pro but another pro(decent but I'd play shorthanded with) sits down and takes the BB from me giving me an extra hand for free. I misplay it and shoot off 4k =\

Hands 28,401-34,700: The grind as usual.

Hands 34,700+: Today. I honestly have no recollection of that nice uptick early on and actually started off by dropping 5k in my first 30 minutes. I couldn't sleep this morning (yes I sleep during the day be jealous) and decided I really want to condition myself to be able to grind well for long hours whenever so I decided to boot up. I played for like 6 hours to essentially break even with a nice 8k swing and a bunch of 5k swings during the session to end down like $167.50 and a couple thousand below equity. Oh well. I get a little sleep and end up booting up again and the games are good. I end up 14 tabling as the 15th table was on a smaller site and shorthanded and the software was just too big of a pain to keep going. I feel I played pretty damn good. I have a ton of meta-game with a really LAG (by full-ring standards) on Stars who love to float and call me down light constantly which results in me triple barreling air and shoving second pair and so forth against him. I think he feels he can outplay me because I'm the other really loose player and play a style which many view as donkey I'm sure because of my aggression in certain spots. Money doesn't lie though as he's shipping more my way then the other way but today was his day. He floated with Q high on a K high board picked up a flush draw on the turn and got there on the river as I shoved sensing he was really weak on the flop due to his timing. He rounded out the night picking up AK against AQ in a blind war though admittedly I misplayed it.
I ended up having to close down tables because I didn't have reload cash and nothing upsets me like that so I called a session shortly after but not before I shoved into Aces knowing it was a horrible shove =\ I'm a donk.

A couple other hands against my Stars nemesis:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2254675

I can't articulate it in a very logical breakdown of the hand but with our history and how he plays he's never leading for that amount with a hand he'll call a shove with. If he does he's calling my incredibly light and I'll adjust but was definitely a good spot to shove.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2254716

Why check the turn? Because he'll do stupid stuff like shove everything even a set and even he can't call 100% of the time if I push.

A really interesting hand which was really fun.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2254784

Played was kind of new to the table so didn't really have any reads. My hand is pretty face up on the river as being a top pair or jacks type hand I felt. That said I felt his range was the same. I really was never getting him credit for the 6. It was obviously a possibility but I didn't give it more then a 10-15% probability he had a 6 or better. I had him on a 9T, TJ, JJ type hand and was really considering he might have JJ since I was running bad though he doesn't show aggression earlier in the hand at any point and is now making an incredibly thin shove against someone without history so had to conclude he has a TJ type hand often enough to call. I actually like his play except I'm a donkey call station. I think I should utilize it more except I'm viewed as so reckless I get called all day here. Maybe I should tighten up in some spots.


Anyways made a few plays I wasn't happy with and ran horrible and just constantly feel like I'm playing break even poker despite being up a very respectable amount this year. I've got other shit to ramble on and on about but I'll save it for another post and keep this one poker related.

Juggling 5 women is hard.

Even for me.

Oh, also I suck at poker.

That is all.

I'm off my game the last few days. Apparently starting months off really well is huge for me since I'm prone to tilting frequently when I'm stuck on the month because I'll get almost even or even or up a little and then drop back down and then shoot off. Granted I shutdown immediately after but it still adds up. I don't feel like I'm playing very well and am spending a fair amount of time studying my game. Unfortunately I'm doing it solo as I have no one who's really interested in poker to discuss hands with since most I talk to are "reluctant" pros who while good players and who are capable of thinking about the game but really play out of habit and for the money and have no interest in studying and improving their games. I predict more then half of them are no longer playing come the new year.

So I'm told all my posts are pretty boring (I tend to agree) so in the future I'll try include either some hand histories and discussion about them or maybe some colorful graphs! As far as my personal life it's basically non-existent so there's nothing to tell though even if there was nothing truly interesting will ever make it onto a blog unless I'm getting paid for it so bitch at Jay to post more.

Player 3 is really good and is basically never going to lead and then shove over my call like that with less then a set or maybe the nut flush draw which is much less likely so it was an instant fold. He then showed top set. Hand would have been interesting had I have 4s, not because I ever get away from it but just on how I would have played when the action got to me on the flop.


Also, now that I think about this I want to go off about it because it's been driving me nuts the last few days. Shortstackers. Not the casual player who buys in short but the regular and often professional shortstackers who infest every table there is with there mindless playing disrupting the flow of the game for everyone else. Move down and learn to play poker. I seriously would delight in joy if they all got convicted of a crime and got raped for the rest of eternity. Typically anytime I hear any pro is doing well I'm happy for them but seeing ImsaKidd's graph where he was a ton below equity made me ridiculously happy. I seriously hope horrible things happen to all these people since I could never hang out with them since I don't even know how they look i n the mirror. I bet half of these faggots think they're hot shit in real life and are the douches who go around saying how they're a poker pro and wear a hat and sunglasses everywhere.

I'm runnin' kinda bad..

course not playing super well either but I never play well...so when I run bad...I...uhh...lose?

Bleh. Keep playing a fish HU, he keeps running really really well against me and keeps leaving when he wins a buyin. Standard fish shit. Wish we could play >100bb deep...enormous edge then.

These swings are going to make me quit poker.

Leave One

Apparently several people used to actually read this thing. Feel free to leave comments and let us know because there's nothing lamer then writing to yourself.

I think it's been about six months since I've posted so here's an update.

October: I have the worst run I'd ever had I ran near 6ptbbs/100 under my all-in equity for over 100k hands. I then tilted massive. I attempted to move down to .5/1 but decided my winrate would be more then twice as high @ 1/2 since I knew the players and how the game played. I went broke.

November: I start off the month broke. By the time my birthday rolled around I had nothing left in my online accounts and spent most of the money in my pocket on top shelf booze for my 21st birthday. Stolichnaya Elit, Dom Perignon, Johnny Walker Blue Label are served to my guests even when I'm broke. If nothing else I'm always a damn good host. The day after my birthday I fly out and move across country to St. Petersburg, FL. I'm waiting on 4k in rakeback to hit my account so I can start playing again.

December: I've got a few bucks now from grinding/propping on smaller sites in late November. I'm doing well getting fat rakeback and playing against softer competition. I fly back to Michigan for the holidays and am doing well enough to cover gifts for everyone & host a nice dinner that my boy cooked that his folks let us host @ their place. I take a couple shots out of my roll @ 5/10NL but do wel @ 75/150O8 when the game's good. Heading into New Year's Eve I made more in December then I did the rest of the year combined. New Year's Eve I play some shorthanded 100/200 O8 where I'm probably outclassed in but stevebets is playing in. Stevebets is abysmal @ O8and I was taking pretty reckless shots. I bust my FTP unable to handle the swings and end December making nearly as much as I did the rest of the year combined.

Conclusions for 07? I've become a much better player since the UIGEA has made games much tougher but I still only made as much as I did the year before when I only played 10 hours a week. However the last few months taught me several things. I finally ran worse then I ever thought was possible and that caused me to be the most flirtacious with being broke I've ever been. That caused me to start focusing on improving my game a lot more rather then merely improving as people around me improved as well. I also learned the importance of game selection which is HUGE. All is well that ends well.

January: I start off the year basically rolled for 2/4 and I'm playing on a bunch of smaller sites propping still but doing well without the extra pay. Eventually I move over to another site and start playing there. My bankroll management has been shaky at best. While I'm not putting myself in a position to go broke again I am taking a lot of shots well above what I'm rolled for. This new site has 200bb buy-ins instead of 100. So @ 2/4NL the max buy-in is 800. This caters to my strength especially against considerably weaker competition. I'm taking shots @ the 5/10nl game and I'm killing it. My edge is so huge I can't believe we're playing for this kind of money since the game is so soft. The only problem is any sort of downswing and I'll have to quit playing in the game.

On the 17th I plat what at that point was the biggest pot I've ever played. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1955429 Yes, I played a pot where I put in over 400bbs OOP with TPTK. I got sucked out on. I made a call afterwards to make plans to go to dinner because I felt I should probably get out of the house before I went on mega-tilt. I stayed on an even keel however and before the hour was up where I had to leave for dinner I managed to bust the villian (should be noted the site has the old Stars rebuy trick so you can get deepstacked in a hurry). I was very pleased with myself for the fact I was comfortable putting in that kind of money with a marginal hand because I trusted my read and more importantly that I didn't tilt and booked a big win. I build my roll to nearly the point where I'm almost rolled to play 5/10nl all the time (granted not that deep) and am still playing a lot of 1/2nl & 2/4nl so I'm not being too horrible with my roll.

Currently: Been playing a lot of 5/10nl on Stars and to a less extent Full Tilt as the 5/10 has been drying up on the smaller sites I'm on. I'm now fully rolled for 5/10nl though I still play lower occassionally and have been taking shots as high as 25/50nl if the games are really good. I also recently started playing the 500-2k HU HORSE SnGs when I don't feel like grinding just to relax and enjoy myself (gambling problem). I'm surprised at how soft the competition is and definitely have a decent edge and suspect and I can afford to keep playing them despite inevitable large swings since I don't play them on a normal basis and am keeping with a lot of other games. I have actually moved away from 6max and have been playing more HU & FR games though I play a decent amount of 6max still. I have also been playing the other games more then I suspect I need to cut down on my shot taking because eventually it will put a big hurt on me since I'm grinding less and taking more shots. I'm staying away from shorthanded games outside of NLHE for a little while and am going to work on improving my split games @ 30/60 since I'm playing break-even in the 75 O8 game and playing horrible in the 100 Stud8 game. Also no more PLO above 2/4 until I make more of an effort to study it & no more 25/50NLHE shots. Basically, I'm being a bit degenerate but playing really well 98% of the time and have been running pretty well too. I'm rolled for the mid-stakes games now and have cash in pocket so hopefully I'll only keep doing better and start blogging more if anyone actually reads it. On a personal note come April I hope to have improved enough and made enough money that I can go regain a life outside of grinding my ass off.

So I'm up 30k this month...

then I decide to play 50-100 on FTP on full blown life tilt!

Guess how much I'm up now!

3up3down: "You're so stupid, you put me on tilt. Think about that. You realize you tilt off 100k a year right? I hate you."

So much for him being supportive...

Turning +$1600 into -$600.

Ship it please. I don't even know how that happened. The players are so so bad, it's ridiculous. I gave 3up some $ and has been playing on merge a bit and had this to say: "They're so bad I play 100% of my hands. How have I not hit a flop yet?" or something really close to that. I giggled. It's true.

Yeah, so it's a small, boring, post but it's a start right?

LOL @ you if you are reading this.

So it's been an eternity since I've written anything here and I know I've been promising to some of you that we'd start this blog up again but the truth is none of us have had the motivation nor the time. I've actually been out of the country for the last 3 weeks (no, the feds aren't after me) and have just returned a few days ago. I would have been back the 29th but some moderately serious problems forced me back earlier.

As for poker, I don't even remember what happened in December nor do I care to. That probably means I won or broke even or didn't play much. Probably a combination of 1 & 3. I tried logging some hands yesterday...was up a quick 2k and then managed to lose it all back to finish at -$150 or something close to that. I am extremmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeely rusty. I don't even understand what I am doing. I'm not reading boards well or thinking about hands my opponents can have or why I'm making a certain action. Part of it is because I'm rusty and part of it is because my mind is somewhere else right now. I want to play but I don't think I should. Actually, I probably should play 1-2 for a while to get the rust off and maybe get my head away from personal life problems cause the 1-2 and 2-4 games have been exceptionally good but I'm afraid I'll just jump into 5-10+ if I see them going with fish/semi fish/anyone else I have even a tiny edge over.

It sucks that I'm in this mental state cause 3up and I found some site that has regular 5-10 and higher with complete morons. I think he's already won more $$$ there this year than he did in the last 3 months of 07 combined. Sigh.

Sucks that this post isn't very amusing, I actually have really funny stories about getting into arguments with non English speaking people in other countries and all doing all sorts of idiotic antics in foreign hotels and how much the service everywhere sucked (oh god, did the service suck!) but I'm not in a great mental state right now and I just don't care to write them up.

Do we owe you money?

We owe everyone money, and most likely owe you money, but due to the recent influx of excessive paperworked spawned from poker.com's horrible attempt at recording hand histories - (we now log each hand on our own, using a pen and carbon paper, then mail them off to each other) We may have lost the details of the money we owe you.
If this applies to you, please send a postage paid envelope with your name, address, and the amount we owe you to

Truckin fools from the button yo~

CTS plays well. In fact, he plays so freaking well that it's possible he's on a level that I will never achieve. Not only does this make me depressed, it makes me want to forever quit poker. That's how ridiculously good the kid is.

Meanwhile...while CTS trucks fools from the button, I bulldoze fishbowls from UTG baby - cause thats how we roll! Holla @ me and my new line of 3betting a lead and a raise w/ J high flush draws on dripping wet flops.

Matter of fact, I've been making some nasty nasty calls with K high's and bottom pairs and all sorts of marginals. I called some dude on a 3bet turn with 2nd pair after the flop was c/r'd. Sadistic? 3up has been having instant orgasms from looking at the hand histories.

If you understood everything I wrote you are 1. a huge poker geek & 2. realize how incredibly sexy/retarded I am!

LOL! People still come here...and also claim we owe them money!

this blog is worthless just like your whole little "blogspot" network...get your own site...a domain is only $5...when are you going to pay me back the $1500 I lent you? You havent answered my emails in weeks...you just take the money and run? ....loser"

Dear anonymous,

You are right. This blog is totally worthless. So why don't you remove it from the top spot in your favorites folder, you heartless bastard!

In any case, we were planning on getting a domain, and t shirts, and balling out like 3ups best friend good2cu but we're lazy. Also, immediately go drink a bottle of Drano. Thanks!

Here's a brief poker run down from what I remember:

August: Played for 24hours straight, went on mega tilt, ended up losing like 30k.
September: I won. Who cares?
October: Went on some early morning jay tilt session. Lost 10k.

Instructions on how to beat me at heads up:

1. Suck
2. Be a super nit who limp calls/folds every button.
3. Call everything
4. Run well
5. Have me never make a pair
6. Tilt me

*Not necessarily in that order.


I've been going out A LOT. I've been meeting a lot of attractive young ladies. I've almost run out of, ahem, protection. I'll have to get this ultimate sampler pack:






That is all for now. I hate poker.

This blog sucks!

Anyone agree?

Fantasy Key Pick of 07

I've been writing these briefly in between meetings, so if some ideas seem incomplete, blame yourselfs for your lack of donations therefore i must find outside sources of income.

But, Key for your fantasy team for 07.

Atonio Gates (TE from SD)
Yes Antonio Gates scored 50 more Fantasy points (for standard yahoo style league) than the next closest TE, Tony G. from KC.

Therefor your strategy should look something like this

1rst round draft a badass QB or RB, second Round Grab Gates.

The reason i say this, is because the difference in points between Gates and his nearest TE competition is so vast, that having him on your team will be those consistant extra points that if you keep your matches close, which is often the case in fantasy leagues, those points will always pay off..

Now isn't this going to screw up your chance to draft an awesome reciever like Moss, or Owens or Harrison?

Why yes it is, but WR are a dime a dozen in fantasy, and with many upcomming recievers and sneaker picks in the reciever lines I would not even worry about drafting a reciever till the 5th round.

Most likely great recievers like Hacket, Branch, Stalworth, and a couple rookies if you're the type to like to gamble will be available in those later rounds

And your very last pick should be a kicker, Kicker points are fairly even at the end of the year, its usually just a matter of what defense your kicker is up against that determines if he's going to a couple FGs that game or not, But most kickers can make the 35 yard FG attempt, so kicker quality is nothing to be worried about... However if you want to make a slightly more educated pick, grap a team that can move the ball forward but havge trouble getting into the end zone, (BALTIMORE and Stover) or Teams with great defense but lousy offense, they can get field position.

Which brings me to my Defensive Sneaker Pick (GB - Look at how well they did the end of last season, the struggles on offensive side for the last few years has made this defense mature quickly, defenitly worth a gamble) I still chose baltimore personally they're getting old (mcallister and lewis) but they've got the skillz and the experience,

And for fun, Watch 49ers this year, they may just suprize the hell out of everyone.

Poker content will come soon, when i remember how to play.

Poker Sucks, the PS3 Rocks, and Football is comming

So poker has been cruel to me, it seems as though bad play will no longer be rewarded, which is -ev for me. So i'm passing the time playing with the Play Station 3, a truley incredible machine that does everything except make coffee in the mornings (pending latest update).

So lets look a bit at the Football season.

New England Looks good, they look damn good, we've got the ever accurate tom brady, now with the humbled Randy Moss, if moss can keep from getting hurt, this combo will virtually be unstoppable, Surely defenses will start to double team moss, which will only open up the the TE and the slot and WR2 Dante Stallworth, another excellent and underated Receiver. A healthy team combined with one of the best coaching staffs in the league, makes this my Pick for the AFC.

Why not the chargers many ask? Coaching staff. This was a team built for Marty S. and no one coaches like Marty, (in the play offs no one wants to coach like marty) look for this team to come on strong late in the year after making the appropriate adjustments, but will most likely be a little late for any real shot at the Bowl.

Lets check some fantasy sneaker picks here.

Seahawks - DJ Hackett Reciever. DJ hackett is showing amazing promise, and is a favorite target of QB hasselbeck, I definatly see him getting a very fair share of passes thrown in his direction, especially with the trade of WR Jackson to the 49rs and the seahawks adjusting to a new recieiving core. Dj Hackett will be a solid 2nd WR that you won't even have to draft until the 8th round or so.

Thats all the Time i have for today,

I'm Greedy

Gawwwwwwwwwd.

Yesterday's entry:

Just played all night to book a $1500 win. Sigh. Should have been like $2500 instead. Played B to B- all night. I am officially off my heater. I was on fire from July 3rd or whichever was the first day I played after my birthday until around the 17th. I ran very hot...I haven't run that hot in a long long time. In fact, I haven't had a loser since july 1st.

Today things went a different direction...flopping lots of draws and bricking all of them. Very swingy day...+1500, even, +1500, down $500, +1500 and I finally quit. I probably should have quit earlier but I'm so greedy I couldn't let myself walk away with a lousy $1500 day.

Games are great. The players are so bad it's laughable.

Kid insta calls off w/ khigh flush draw + 1 over for 150bb+ push on flop...I obv have flush draw and gutter and 4bet AI. Riv flushes out...clearly rigged.

I did steam for a little bit but I'm working on keeping it to a minimum.

Today:

Of course not booking a loser again for the entire month wasn't happening. -$1200 or so. But at least I feel some emotion right? I Fcking hate booking losers. Can't stand it...and today shouldn't have been one.

Started off dropping 7-800 then getting it back, then dropping 1500, then getting it back. Then finally after many many hours (and I have played a ridiculous amount of hours in the last few days) I was up like $500? hahaha. I am so greedy. Of course I can't stop at such a pathetic mark so I play more...except by this time I am so burned out I don't care enough to pay attention. Not to mention I am paying for running like a god for the first half of the month by running like god hates me now.

Flopping monster draws and bricking, people not pairing anything when I have it and of course picking bad spots to bluff.

Also running bad, for some reason or another, turns me into a hyper aggressive maniac (even more so than usual) so I end up giving money away. Makes me want to puke. I've been playing HU vs a bunch of weak tight players...they're so bad it's almost criminal to play them...but of course I can't dumb my game down enough so I end up bluffing of and then steaming because they won't put a penny into the pot without the nuts.

Playing vs weak tights is extreeeeeemely boring. It's profitable and nearly variance free but it's just so irritating. If you've read this blog, you know the only time I actually enjoy poker is when I play HU vs tough, creative, opponents that force me to think and adjust. Threeup and I agree that it's where I excel. Getting creative vs weak tight retards (which I obviously tend to do because of shear boredom) is just asking for disaster.

I dislike dumbing down my game but it's something I'd work on if there was reason. The truth is games will only be getting tougher in the future so it's probably something I won't soon need anyway.

It's kind of sick that I feel much more comfortable in tough games than easy ones...
