My BR Build Aussiekiss on tilt

blsmur · My BR Build Aussiekiss on tilt

Hi Guys I have just discovered this thread and some of you guys are inspiring

I have been playing HUSNG for a few months now and I had a very hard time getting my head around it

I did the coaching with Broker star and got some great reviews of my game along the way from other members Thankyou to them all

So i have started husng with $8 in my fulltilt account

and pretty much only ever play husng on tilt I have had my BR to $97
but it is back to $80 this morning after being busted at the post 5 times
but if you have ever looked at my graph , I run bad most of the time
I think when it turns around i will make leaps and bounds
any way my BR is back to 90.69 after about 10 games to day $2 buyin
I have a rule that I am not going to move up until I get it to $100

well the 97 was close but i have been back to 80 a few times SO perhaps writing in here will help me move over the $100 thing

is this a psychological point my brain cant get over .

I dont know but the $80+ is where i have been for quite a while
I havnt always been playing HUSNG every day .

I have been studying Forex pretty hard and i have been cleaning up my pokeratings.com results one level at a time
playing 6 tables 1/2 cent games on stars :blsmur: I have reduced my losses from $33 to $16 over the last few time i played when i have that in the green i will tackle my next level

The only other thing I have to say is my game overall is good , I am winning at poker i play at every site i play at
including the new pokerview webcams and all

so I hope i can get over the $100 sometime this week on tilt
thanks for reading I will post some stuff as it develops

blsmur

I was just checking my stats on holdem manager
and i discovered i put an extrra $50 inot the fulltilt account

so i have only built it up $41 at this stage playing $2 husng

i have made some new notes cos I think i forgot some stuff

any way $9 to my next level

z1s6arn

GL blsmur!!!!

Cant wait to hear you smashing the $100 mark!

Take care!

z1 Cool

blsmur

had a few good games today and got $99.59

i just spoke to Brokerstar and tell him just one more game to go

and i can move up but it was not to be

i had him nut straight on turn all in
and he shows AQ

i got KT

flop A Q J

I bet he calls turn T
I shove he calls with 2 pair
ha ha I think to my self
and just As I do the Ace on the river

who wrote that book should be shot
i am left with $200
and my opponent changes his game plan
and the rest is history
will i be doomed to another 2 weeks before i get to $100

4outs he has on the turn 8% approx

but that is how my poker games goes
i have been on the wrong side of variance for well over 200 games
it must turn around sometime soon
and let me balance up a bit

must it ?

blsmur · I DID IT

well this morning i made the $100
been hard for me
and I know I am still making mistakes

but i will move up now

woohoo Laughing

YATHINNK

If you feel you are still making a lot of mistakes then stick with the level below and make sure that they're all ironed out first Smile

blsmur

this is my latest graph
you can see where Blazing and Chris b gave me a hand and up i went then i fell back to my old ways a bit and stagnated so i review the notes from Blazing and /chrisb again and i going ok

blsmur

Wow these $5 games a way softer than $2 games

or I am playing better

i guess by the end of the week we will see

anyone want to try me

feel free

YATHINNK

blsmur

hi Yathink

thanks for the advice but i am doing ok at the $5

i am sure i am making some mistakes
but i am happy with my game

couple of the games i lost today

were like all in me with TT and him with 66
i lose cos that is how i run

and some similar stuff to that

but mostly i win

I have been waiting for weeks to crack the $100 in my account and i havnt always been playing husng i have spent plenty of time playing fullring on stars and quite a bit on pokerview webcamming it

but i decided to push ahead with the husng

it is fun poker and it is a test of wills and wit
and I enjoy it
if you think you would be interested in giving me a lesson i am happy to pay you $xx for an hour

YATHINNK

haha nah I couldn't I'm not good enough to become a teacher yet. Just saying that even with the most minor leaks you want to make sure that you can crack them and work on them before you start moving up.

For example I had started to lose at the stakes I was playing and, thus, I stepped away and didn't play at all for a while. All I did was learn as much as I could and then when I had plugged the obvious mistakes I pushed on at the level below (at this point I was losing at the 10s so dropped to the 5s) After that I powered back through and if it weren't for the fact that I do a lot of other stuff with my life I would almost definitely be a lot higher than I am atm.

A heads up on where I am at

well i have played 18 $5 husng ontilt today

the picture says it all
one of the losses i did an all in bluff on the river repping a flush but the other guy just didnt get it lol
so i play him again and win , no bluffing this time

some of the others i just got pipped at the post but mostly I was on track and had good reads and gave em hell

heres a pic and my account is now $149

by the way if you cant read it just save as and zoom in

hey blsmur!!

GL to both of us, ur slightly ahead of me atm and ill try to keep up!!

how many games a day do you play on avg?

blsmur

it depends on the time i have available

I am rebuilding a horse trailer for a friend and it take time but on wet n windy days i play poker n stuff so it can range from 2 or 3 to 20 I dont seem to ever play more than 20 I think the brain has had enough by then
and i study poker and forex everyday as well so never a dull moment

PS I look forward to your challenge , and I am happy to play you again or skype some more anytime

whats forex??????/

U Cook Socks

blsmur

xxxx is aussie beer from QLD we dont drink that shit down here either vic or melbourne

as FOREX it is trading currencies
and it is leveraged so $1 reps about $100

do a search for forex

blsmur

update on my Bankroll build

well it sux
to say i am disappointed would be an understatement
it seem the only reliable way to win is to get it 1 chip at a time
as if I get it all in preflop i lose so many
and even on the flop i get rivered so often
as you can see i should have $70 not minus $48

i the most i got into my account so far is $159 my current level is $59

It would seem i have failed the Brokerstar course miserably
as i cannot get those pretty graphs like on the front page of the site

I think i am about over heads up play

Jakester1288

Mate don't worry about it, it's variance. Don't give up, you need to just keep reviewing and posting hands, also I'd recommend getting a coach to do regular reviews with (once a fortnight or month), and also a study buddy/partner for quick check-ups on skype, and also maybe 1 HH a week or something.

GL!

I am going to give you an opinion, you don't have to listen, you are totally free to disagree with me, but I am telling you, in the hope that it helps you.

I am going to post a quote from your opening post on this thread.

"The only other thing I have to say is my game overall is good"

You have to get this out of your head. Your overall game isn't good. If it were, you would be beating $5 games really hard. Even with variance, over that many games, if your game was good, you would be smashing the games so hard, variance would just be a little blip on a nice upwards line.

Don't take this as an offensive post. My game isn't good either, when your game is good, you make very few mistakes, the less mistakes you make, the better you will do. That is how poker works, if you make less mistakes than your opponents, you will win money (in the long run)

I have said it before, and I honestly believe this, there is enough free information on this site, to allow anyone of average intelligence, to beat the micro games, I'd say up to $10 at least. It is all there on a plate for anyone. It wont just happen though, you have to put hard work in to it, really want to get better as a player.

Without trying to be rude, a lot of your posts are spent arguing with people trying to help you. I have seen you on numerous occasions arguing with good players, that they are wrong , and you are right. This will get you know where at all. Just one example, one of the first posts I read off you, you were arguing with Red_Dog about something, now it's fine to have an opinion, but I said at the time, just take a look at how much money this guy has made playing poker. He has won it for a reason, and maybe you would be better off asking questions, rather than telling him he was wrong. For what it's worth, he is the person who has helped me the most on this site as a poker player.

I have tried to help you too, but you often seem to think I am being offensive, and take things the wrong way. I'm not, I am actually taking time out of my day, to try and help someone I don't actually know, who lives the other side of the world. I don't get paid for it, I just try and give something back to the Tag Community, as they helped me become a winning player at the low stakes at least.

It doesn't matter how much good information you read, how many videos you watch, how much coaching you get, it wont help you, if you don't absorb it all, and put the information in to practice. It is all there for you, but YOU need to be able to use it well. Take a step back, re assess where you are at, make a new plan, there is a lot of good information where to start in my thread http://tagpoker.myfastforum.org/about2311.html there is also lots of other great information on the site. There is a ton of other good information on the site too.

Give it another chance, give it your all, I mean really give it everything you have got, if you are really serious about it. All said and done, if you can't beat the micro games after a few thousand games, then you really do need to ask yourself if poker is for you.

All the best

Mark.

Chin up champ.

I went through the same thing as you, thinking why am i not winning at this game after doing the course too ? The main thing was to learn the game, and play to what you have learned every time you play. When you dont, have the ability to see why. Still not sure where you went wrong, post it in the forum.

For me, it's easy to whinge when someone hits a 1 outer after getting stacks in, but it was harder to tell myself "i did nothing wrong in that hand". Becoming results orientated its one of the worse leaks, i reckon anyway, most can have in this game. You look at some of the guys that have become winning players, and you will see it is a long and sustained journey over 100's, if not 1000's of games.

I get a sense of dejavu reading this, and can only say, that if you can commit yourself to the game, you will do well out of it. Don't look for any easy or quick fixes, but just keep at it. Due to a few reasons i was unable to commit enough time and resources to this game, and felt that because of my results i was no good at all. This was not entirely the case at all. The grounding is there (the course) and as Blazing said "so much free resources" are also available too.

It's all about application.

You made mention about not folding 2nd and 3rd pair hands when maybe beat. These are the defining moments that can make people better players. It was so easy to think "bullshit, he's bluffing" then to later look at it and see that he was the type of player that you should be folding those sort of hands. And it is these results that get you thinking about your ability to beat these players, and not being able to move onwards.

Tilt is such an ugly beast, but overcoming it is the biggest key component to making average players better. It will be the difference from losing 2-3 buyins, to blowing off your BR to "get it back". There are no fixes for this, but there are many options to see which will work for you best. There has been many ways talked about in these forums.

Now i am no expert player, or winning one for a fact, but i realise what it takes to become a better player. I couldnt give enough to becoming this, and i hope you are not too disillusioned about it too. Now that i have everything sorted out, I will hopefully be back playing in the coming weeks, and being a fellow Aussie, could be a good opportunity to work something out (unless you are a Collingwood supporter, then eat shit and die).

All the best mate.

hi guys
well I am growing again
but have not played much this week

I am still on the fulltilt leader board but I suspect i will drop off later in the month as I get overtaken by higher volume players
this is the start of the horse breeding season here and i have a lot of work to do for my wifes business
I build the electronics for her

you can check her out here [url] www.foalguard.com [/url]

so when i am back to $100 account i will go back to the $5 games again

ok later
Very Happy

blsmur

up to 90 today been fluctuating around here since yesterday so
hopefully i will mak eit to
$100 plus today

i have been watch my flop play and trying to get reads on my oponents

also have been playing the 4 mans and one 8 man shootout got 2nd in that
and i win a few 4 mans
you only have to win 2 in a row to make very good money in these

in the 8 man win 2 and you are in the money so the 3rd game is basically a free roll

ok later

doodiewiz

My first read I look for is does check check oop = weakness??? Often seems to be a source of chips. GL dude!

blsmur

blsmur

i signed up for one of those 8 player shootout

just a
$2 buyin
and my opponent goes all in first hand

goes all in 2 hand
goes all in 3 rd hand
goes allin 4 th
goes allin 5th hand
i have
A8 off I call
opponent shows 78 off
flop A 7 2

turn 7
game over

this is how i roll
i should never race as my graph proves it I lose
no matter how much a favorite I am before the flop

so i play another one and lose every hand i play
although i manage to steal some
but if it came to showdown i lose

i figure this part of my game is why i have such a hard time building this BR

so I shouldn't Race
and i shouldn't go to showdown with what size hand

my 2 pair get busted my 1 pair get busted

i put opponent on completely wrong hand and get busted

just bitching

sorry

kolonel

Patience grasshopper.

Not much you can do with the cards that are dealt, but i dont think getting it all-in with A8o is the answer. You are about a 60% chance against someone shoving 100%, but with early blinds you can just sit back and wait for the right time.

Would you play this way if he shoved only once or twice before ? Would you call a shove with this hand if it was the first hand ?

I am sure it may be worth the wait, than letting him make you rush into a play you would normally not play.

Good luck with it.

kolonel

U Cook Socks

A8 is a call, if he is shoving every hand. By the time he has done it 5 times in a row, I am assuming he is doing it every hand. Nh, unlucky.

blsmur

blsmur

well guys I have done it

back to $100

this is good

I have discovered a problem in my game that i had trouble coming to terms with

I am not going to elaborate as i have quite a few from Tag poker coming to play me these days
I am glad to say I am beating most of them

so you guys that come and call me "fish"

watch out my game is getting better

Twisted Evil

z1s6arn

There a ppl from tag playing you and calling you a fish. Not cool.

ChrisB

I really doubt that, are you sure man?

blsmur

perhaps I wrote that wrong

i have had several guys from Tag come and play me and let me know they from tag

one wrote blsmur=fish

and i won
he was an aussie so it was cool lol

so sorry if i gave the wrong impression

i was happy to get tag guys play me and i get lots of players call me names while playing them

Wannawin

you are also blsmur on other forums....DTB etc?
but yeah if TAG players are trying to find/play you and berate that would be out of order.

ps I can never find you - diferent timezones I think Wink

blsmur

well my fultilt challenge is obviously out of the window for a while

so i am doing now on pokerstars

I am playing heaps better and think i have got the game i was supposed to get when i first did the course of Brokerstars full course

i have had heaps of other stuff to do lately and poker has taken a back seat

first time in nearly 5 years

but i have been playing again and doing ok in both husng and cash games

so i will continue my bankroll build on stars for now

I think i took time off waiting to see if stars was going to the wall too like Tilt has

so far its still up and running so i will play again a fair bit from now on
lookout guys here come BLSMUR

fair dinkum !

blsmur

Well I sign up on William Hill poker

trying win some extra coaching with Dom

So how is my poker going

well i have given it quite a break

lost interest with the full tilt thing

but then i get some more emails from Brokerstar and watch some vids
and I am back

jakester decided to take me up on my challenge i posted in this forum a few months ago

so we playing 10 games

3 played so far

i will try to build my pokerstars account currently about $40

and william hill i put in $35 yesterday

so i will be playing on both of these sites
Aussiekiss11 on william hill

blsmur on pokerstars

as well as poker i am trading Forex and that has taken most of my time lately as i have been programming a robot to make my trading easier
well that is it for today

lets hope this new go will be fruitful

blsmur

I signed up fro Will hill pokersite

and i have been doing ok overall
but this morning i got done 2 times in a row by
bad players getting lucky

ie
45 off call my all in preflop
i have K4s
and we hit the 4 on the flop
and of course he gets the 5 on the turn

and next game i have very agg oponent reraise every hand
and if i call shoves turn or river
so i get 88 pre
and i raise he re raises i shove he call
with KQ off
and i lose

other than that i have done well on on will hill heads up

and my br is up 50% so far

NinjaReads

I've got a few bucks in an Ipoker account so I sat in a beginners game last night and you sat me. I told you I posted on here but you mustn't have chat on. There are speech bubbles on there, you should turn them on. Smile

Anyway, you started very aggro. after about 25 hands you were 80%+ vpip on the button and 80%+ in the bb, with a 3bet nearing 50%. But the 3 bets were all min3bets and the ones I seen at showdown were not great hands either. Also you weren't cbetting them either.

Things like this.

good to hear things are going well!

got a few games over this weekend at odd times, but we should play again in a week or so once i get all this random stuff i gotta do, out of the way... see you on skype soon!

good luck!

blsmur

I am amazed at how ingrained this aggressive game is in me

i can control it for a while
then i am doing the silly things again

i was checking on this guys stats that got me playing like this and i see he hasnt played for a few months and his account is empty

or at least he lost what the balance was and not played on stars since

so i guess it is pretty evident that this style is not great

i will keep at controlling my tendencies to shove and fold hands pre to keep my hud about 60 40

i think if i do that it will help in the overall control of my game

of course mixed with this until 2 weeks ago was i never fold AA KK QQ so this was a big leak
and i was happy to shove Ax anytime , still do this a bit but i am trying to stop it
also i realize now that against some players shoving the weak aces is not a good idea because some of the better ones dont call with anytrhing less than AJ
So if i am called I am mostly losing if not called i win 40 chips

might as well fold it preflop as shove it

so just venting might help me stop doing it

B E on will hill today

down a few on stars so will try and get it back to BE be the end of my day

Jakester1288

lol @ folding to keep your hud stats at a certain amount.

blsmur

blsmur

well just thought i should give a report on my husng play

i must say I am way better now than i have ever been

playing
$3.50 and $7 on stars

still playing when i work on will hill
got down to a $1 on will hill but back at about $7.5 now
just been playing the $1 games on there
had 3 games in a row that just sucked the other day but been ok last few times i play

only can play 3 or so games on there as i am trying to build electronics at the same time

when i not wqrking I am playing on pokerstars you will find me in the mornings my time and in the evenings mostly

i have racked up some good wins and i won a 32 man husng $7 buy in and got an 8th in another one
overall the Bankroll is growing

anyway i am now a winning player and i am getting better , way better then i have ever been

Hi I'm Back

been very busy doing other stuff for quite a while
the foaling season has run later this year due to flooding and i still have foaling alarms to build , normally we are well and truly finished by now

I have also been full on into programming EAs for forex
thats a brain stretcher .

But i have become quite good at programming now and currently have 3 EAs running live and making money woohoo !

the best part of forex is you dont have to be there to make money
just check in 1 or 2 times a day is sufficient but i tend to check about 4 times a day for about 10 minutes

I have stropped playing poker while i work
this has made quite a difference to my game

I didnt play poker for 3 weeks

this is the longest time in 5 years I have had off from poker

and it has done me so much good

well I am back at it now still, no where near a good player but doing ok
I think
I still can lose with the best hand so often

and i just did the Brokerstars Quizz this morning
and I got it 100% right
that is a first for me and i havnt dont it in the last 6 months at least

so I must be thinking way better then i have previously

I think I can now grow as a poker player

A few months ago I think I was very "off the planet" with my poker and my thinking in general, I dont know why , maybe I was over tired or just brain fried
but I am back in force and hope to be moving up some more in the near future
thanks for reading

Ron

PS : I have made a dedicated area in my workshop for poker and forex
it is comfortable and no interruptions "really good"
I bought a new laptop for inside so i can still play from in there
and i have been running teamviewer and controlling this computer from inside
so I have the best of both worlds now
