What the heck??

2012-03-12 09:45 AM

Tonights session started off alright.  I was up a couple dollars on the .02/.05 cash game online.  I decided to leave the table and register for a MTT.  It was only 21 players and I felt I had a good chance to at least cash.  I had won a few hands and I was dealt 10-10 UTG.  I raised to four times the blind, everyone folds and the big blind calls.  The flop comes up 4-7-2.  BB checks, I bet and he ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/johnontilt87/87501-What-the-heck-">(continued)</a>

It's getting personal now!

2010-05-01 08:27 AM

After a looong time of SnG’s and MTT’s (Where most of my succes have been), I’m ready to try out cash. I’m not saying I’ve never played cash, I have, a lot! I just suck at it. . . My sessions always starts out pretty well, I’m a BI up, and suddenly I’m 3 BI’s down. I’ve never read HoH1+2 or any other cash book. The reason I joined DC is to see a lot of videos, and sta ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/desis-dk/21621-It-s-getting-personal-now-">(continued)</a>

Definition of variance - in one day

2010-01-12 12:12 AM

Crazy – managed to get two decent sessions in in one day and and ended up about $8 down. But seeing as I was about $25 up after the first session then the $30 loss in the second hurt. First time I’ve had to use my stop loss rule – 3 buy ins. Feel much better for doing that now as I know I would have just lost another $20 had I stayed. Was flying after the first half – esp ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/6411-Definition-of-variance-in-one-day">(continued)</a>

The first level - $0.02/$0.05

2010-01-11 11:16 PM

Started level with about $120 23K hands between 21st November 2009 and 3rd January 2010 – 45 sessions so about 500 hands per session. Profit $81.62. Must admit I found that pretty easy. Apart from the initial variance swing the rest was pretty standard. Mainly spent the time getting used to the HUD and chasing the fish. Best session: $40 over 500 hands – $13/hr ish – at this leve ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/6401-The-first-level-0-02-0-05">(continued)</a>

The Rules

2010-01-11 10:38 PM

So how will I grind?? As mentioned, I won’t go broke so strict-ish BRM for me. I’ll use Chris Fergusons’s BRM rules for cash. Only buy in with 5% of my stack. I’ll generally play 4 6Max tables at a time. I’ll play with a full stack and reload when my stack drops to 75% of the buy in. I’ll leave a table if I reach 3 buy ins at the table. I’ll end a session if I drop 3 bu ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/6391-The-Rules">(continued)</a>

How I got here.

2010-01-11 10:21 PM

Seems strange to be blogging when I’m sure no one will ever read – but hey ho. Main reason for writing this I guess is so I can vent or gloat about good and bad sessions; post the odd bad/good hand and maybe solicit some comment. Before I start with my current grindings I’m going to give a bit of background. Started to play poker just over 3 years ago – shortly before Christmas 2006. Always ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/6381-How-I-got-here-">(continued)</a>
