Its been 3 months since my last update.
I had a very tough stretch of hands between april and july, where I didn't win anything for about 250k hands. I've never had anything like that before, so obviously it really hurt my confidence in my game.
It was clear that I was running very bad in a lot of ways, but still 250k hands seems amazing and I never thought it was possible.
In august I went on holiday and when I came back in September I replaced my harddisk (which was broken during the time I moved in with my girlfriend) and after that I could start grinding again.
EVP had some nice promotions in September (alpine cash race and a hand race), so my plan was to play over 100k hands to qualify myself for this alpine package in this hotel:
(http://hotel-alpine-palace.com/nl/alpine-palace/het-luxehotel-in-saalbach)
At the end of september I played around 120k hands and qualified myself easily.
Lucky for me I also run good again. It's really amazing how big variance can be as I made over 100 buyins within 100k hands during this period.
Before I always thought 100k hands was a big enough sample to be able to tell something about your winrate, but after the last half year I doubt it.
I've had a 200k hand stretche with a winrate of close to 0, but also one with a winrate around 10bb/100.So yeah variance is sick.
I'll post some hand later on.

Some hands
Here´s another update update with some interesting hands against a fairly aggressive opponent I played yesterday.
First hand against him. He was really getting out of line by now and 3betting around 15%-20% from the blinds I guess. I'm still not sure of I made the right decision here on the river, but he's river bet was fairly instant so my guess is, that he had me beat.

Third hand against him. He was really getting out of line with 3bets from the blinds by now (15%-20%). Not the best river, cause my thought on the turn was that het had complete air here, but this river could have helped him with some of his air hands, but his timing made me call this river.

In the fourth hand, my initial thought/read was good, but I should have changed that read when he instant raised the river. This guy had what u call a huge timing tell, because he always thought about bluffs and made valuebets/raises instant....
But I was stupid to stick with my plan and snapcalled his river raise.....big mistake.

Cruel game
It's been a while since I updated this blog. Yesterday after another unfortunate session I noticed that my latest blog update was about a huge upswing I had during the end of 2008.
Usually I'm not that superstitious, but by posting all those beats I gave away I probably triggered some sort of doomswith.
So hopefully this post will turn it around again :-)
As you can understand I'm going through a very though stretch of hands. During those 2,5 years I played poker I always had periods of weeks (50k-70K hands) where I run bad, just as I had periods where I run superhot.
The last 3,5 months though are the worst I ever had. I'm playing around break-even now for around 200K hands, which is far more then I ever thought was possible in the games I play.
People always ask the reason behind this long stretch. Is it the financial crisis that is affecting the poker games? Has my luck run out? Are other players adjusting better to my game? Am I playing worse? Or is it just bad luck.....
It's difficult to answer those questions because it's obviously very easy to blame it all to badluck, but it's probably a mix from a lot of things.
Games are tougher then a year ago thats for sure, but especially the last 6 weeks I had tons of very good tables and lots of fish.
One problem is that there are just less (good) games running above NL600 and so you see a lot of good players moving down in stakes.
It's not that players have become so much better, it's more that there are more of them in comparison with the bad players.
Offcourse when I'm running this bad for so long, I'm not always playing my best game anymore, but I think I'm doing quite ok here, at least not tilting buy-ins away, but just some not so good calls and some missed value bets, but nothing spectacular.
Where I had a period of like 30 winning days in a row at the end of 2008, I now haven't won more then 3 days in a row for like 4 months.
Even though I played so much hands already I still underestimated how big variance can be in poker, so I'm quite happy I always had a very strict bankroll management, because I don't have to worry about going broke or having to move down in stakes.
I'm not going to post any hands or graphs, because it speaks for itselfs.
All I want to say is, don't ever underestimate how bad u can run, because it can always get worse.
See ya at the tables!

Warning: do not read if you run bad
In one of my previous posts I said that I didn't give any bad beats away....well this has changed :-). Its ridiculous how hot I'm running the past 6 weeks.
After the last downswing of 60K hands I have the feeling that im now in an upswing for over 100K hands.
One of the sickest things is that during the last 27 days I played I didn't lose on one single day and in this 6 weeks period I had only 1 losing day...
I'm still playing 400/600 most of the time because it's very easy and low variance to 10-12 table those and I can get a pretty decent hourly there.
But I should definately play more 1000, because a lot of the time the tables there are not that tougher as you can see in the hand below....
Against the tablefish...

After the last downswing of 60K hands I have the feeling that im now in an upswing for over 100K hands.
One of the sickest things is that during the last 27 days I played I didn't lose on one single day and in this 6 weeks period I had only 1 losing day...
I'm still playing 400/600 most of the time because it's very easy and low variance to 10-12 table those and I can get a pretty decent hourly there.
But I should definately play more 1000, because a lot of the time the tables there are not that tougher as you can see in the hand below....
Against the tablefish...

Maybe cards do have a memory...
November is almost over and it has been the month where I played the most hands ever (97K). During this period I had my biggest downswing and break-even swing ever. This downswing was about 23 buy-ins and the break-even swing lasted for almost 60K hands.
During my time as a pro I've had this periods (although a little bit shorter) more then once and it always ended with a huge upswing and it was the same this time, because I ended this month with my best week ever.
Suddenly al my draws seems to hit, flips are are coming my way and donks donate there money to me instead of me donating to them and then seeing some other reg going away with it. During this week I won more then 40 buy-ins, with 7 straight win days in a row all of them with more then 5 buyins...So in the end November ended quite good with a little more then 60 buyins profit. All in all my second best month ever.
A nice hand to show that there is still hope for people trying to move up...

Grinding....
Sorry for the lack of updates recently , but I've been playing a lot this month.
For november I had a goal to play around 80K-100K hands and so far I'm on track with already 65K hands. But the results are very disappointing so far.
I lost another $2500 pot (flush over flush) on NL400 last week against a terrible player (who managed to run $40 into $4000!! within 2,5 hours).
It's always easy to blame disappointing results to variance, offcourse some part is variance as I'm running way below EV and another funny thing I noticed is that I didn't give any bad beats (all-in with less then 35% equity for at least 75BB) for the past 28K hands...but I've also the feeling that I'm not playing my best game the past 100K hands. I just need to learn to fold more in spots where I just know I'm beat, if it was possible to see ones hand even when you folded it would save me (and a lot of other players) so much money.

Im back
It's been a while since I updated my blog and watching the comments, some people actually read it, so finally another update.
October has been a busy month, Ive been visiting a friend in Calgary and some maintenance to my house has been done. So not much poker this month.
For those who wondered about my september results, I did make a profit in september but it was not more then 10 buy-ins. October has been my 31st winning month in a row, but again results weren't really satisfying. They were a lot better then September, but I keep running (and playing sometimes) bad.
Today I was playing really good, but I still had the feeling the resulst could (and should) have been a lot better.
The 7 hands below were the only hands were I lost more then 90BB (in a 3K hands session) and I'm happy about 90% of my actions here, only the JJ call is probably not that good.
First hand is against a pretty bad player, who plays 32/17 and well not much I can do here....
