Biggest downswing ever

I just found out that my recent period (I'm already halfway back) of running not so good, has been my worst downswing ever. From top to bottom I lost 33 buy-ins in 25k hands and as far as I know my previous record was around 25 buy-ins.
It doesn't feel as bad though as a year ago when I didn't lose as much as now, but just played break-even for 250k hands...
Im just very happy and proud of myself that in a month when I run quite bad, I'm still able to win over 20 buy-ins, having over $10K profit and ending this first quarter as my third best ever.

Getting some cards again...

Yesterday I had one of the strangest sessions in a while.
In the first 20 minutes I got premiums all over the place.
Had KK 6 times in 20 minutes, QQ 3 times and one time AA. But the funny thing was I lost ALL ten pots and was down ~6 buy-ins in 20 minutes.
After that period I had a nice comeback, mainly because I kept getting premiums and it looked like I was playing superaggro, but I just got some hands.

Here's how the graph looked like:



And these are the most important hands:

First one:

This one is a little thin and I'm not totally sure if I played it ok, but since his range is so small preflop I don't mind it that much.
Villian is quite an ABC player (19/16, 6% 3bet). When he calls pre-flop he basically has AQ/88-JJ a lot of the time. My flop c-bet is kind of standard I guess and when the turn brings another flushdraw and pairs the board, I know only AQ beats me...probably could have gone for a C/C as well, but meh...

Second hand:

I probably should have check folded or bet folded the river here, not too happy with it. Don't know villian very well, but looks like a standard regular.

Villian is very over-aggro regular, so I like to CR this flops vs this kind of players a lot. Not only with QQ+, but also AQ+, especially when there is a flushdraw as well.

Worst session ever

Just finished my worst session ever.
Played 3k hands and managed to lose 11 buy-ins.
Had position on one of the biggest donks in a while but lost 6 buyins on that table and when I finally won a pot over 25bb....he left with $3k.
I only won 3 pots over 50bb over the this whole session.....
Hope this guy is having some fun with my money

The other hands were just cooler after cooler (KK vs AA, QQ vs AA, AK vs AA, QQ vs KK, QQ vs AK, set over set, set vs straight and a combodraw I missed obv).

Really can't do much about it, but it shows again how brutal variance can be.

Time for some sleep now.

Where's my luckbox?

Just finished one of my unluckiest sessions ever. Played really good, so that's even more frustrating. Finished 10 buyins under EV. Highlight of this session was a period of 15 minutes were I lost AA vs AK twice and AK vs AK once.

200k hands

Still on schedule for 1 million hands and 5bb/100+ so far.
Also quite happy that this year has been quite steady so far. Had some swingy days but nothing compared to last year. Last days I even had my luckbox back!



Tourneys are still terrible BTW. I might have set the record for longest streak of out of the money finishes. I think I'm now around 30-40 sunday majors on a row out of the money. I probably just suck at tourney poker though.
Maybe I just save my luck for the WSOP, because I'm gonna be playing 2-3 tournaments in the first 2 weeks of june there. Hope to get lucky one time!

Coolers....

Just finished a very sick session, played almost 6k hands and don't think I got coolered as much as I did today.
Just to show you how ugly variance can be....

Variance

Variance is something I talked a lot about in my blog.
It's because it's so important to be aware of in poker and I believe that most players underestimate it tremendously.
Even some of the top players do so, for example Brian Townsend in his blog on cardrunners.

I've never played him, but from what I've heard and seen he's a good player, but when you're playing the biggest games on the internet and also mostly Omaha (which has a lot higher variance then holdem) you should be expect some massive swings.
And when I'm talking about massive I don't mean absolute $$, but just buyins and periods of hands when you're losing or playing break even.
If you see that on those stakes, most players probably don't play more then 10k - 20k hands a month, it's really easy to have a losing year.

If I look at myself I've had a period of 250k hands where I didn't win and I can say that I probably have a greater edge then any player in a nosebleed game where expected winrates are probably 3bb/100 at best. My play is also not that high variance (my stdev is around 75-80 bb/100) compared to well over 100 for Omaha I guess.

So if you take those things together (100+ st dev, 3bb expected winrate, 20k hands a month) then at the end of the year out of the 10 highstakes players who expect to win 3bb/100, 1 is losing money over this 250k hands....
The thing is that probably no player can't stand losing that long (timewise) so they move down. In the end it probably just means that the most lucky/brave/rich players will keep playing nosebleeds.

And players like Brian Townsend should just be very happy with himself that they runned so hot when taking their first shots, because without that it's probably impossible to play that stakes for longer then a month.

Ok so that's it for now. Need to post some hands again, that's a lot easier :-)
Ok just one then...really wanted to fold after he 17th bet me, but hey, I have AK!

2010 so far

The results so far this year are quite good.
I played 175k hands this year and I'm still winning over 6bb/100.

Lately there has been some discussion on 2+2 on some softplaying/colluding of 'team Sweden'. I heard they got banned and thinks it's a good thing, especially if u read the comments on 2+2 from 'team Sweden'.

Link to 2+2 topic:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/56/medium-stakes-pl-nl/official-everest-msnl-thread-272684/index35.html

But now they start accusing the dutch players of softplaying as well and since I'm dutch I don't like this at all. Yes it's true that there are a lot of dutch players on EVP and most of time are above average players and play a lot with each other, but Ive never seen suspicious plays between dutch guys. Or like the swedes, players who just don't play a big pot against each other ever.
I just have respect for good players (no matter where they from), but I play against a dutch player just like I would play against a swedish player.

Top 10

I've got some funny reactions on this top10 I posted last month. Quite funny that people actually really believed that NICORINSOU is the best midstakes player on EVP.
There is only 1 guy who believes that and that is Nico himself...just read the comments by that post from him and you'll understand me :-)
