Does not get worse than this.

Well yesturday I did a monster marathon 4800 hands in one day by far the most I have ever done in my life. Felt good to be able to play so many and still play solid poker untill the very end. Things were very up and down the first few hands, lost $3k won $3k lost $1500, won $1200 etc... and then came the big downswing where I was stuck $4800 at one point or something near that number. I was not supposed to win today, my KK kept running into either AA or sets, my AA never once won a big showdown only lost money, my QQ ran into either AK or KK-AA etc... I even lost races QQ v AK and vise-versa against the medium stacks. Finished the day +$2400 from my low point which is great considering I was able grind back after playing so many hands I was still able to play a very solid game.

I also just did a 1600 hand session today so I will include that here. Today I made some absolutley sick laydowns and great plays, it's incredible that I'm even making money today considering the setups that are coming my way. The good thing about losing a lot of money is that it really makes you a stronger player. I am now making some absolutley insane laydowns which in the past I feel I should have made but ended up not doing so. Also I have one 2/4NL hand, that's only because there were only six 3/6 NL tables avaliable so it was either i play some 5/10 or 2/4, because I am not running optimally I decided to play 2/4 NL. If I was running average or better, I would definatley play 5/10.

I also made the descion that I will begin playing 5/10 next month unless this cold-deck run continues for a very long stretch, which I assume it will not. But nothing is for certain, I rememebr the first week of may I lost 20 buy ins at 2/4, losing day every day of the week. I made it back almost immiediatley but I feel also now that I am a much stronger player and I will overcome this much more easily than I did in the past. I actually felt really bad after that bad run in May, because up to that point I was winning about 29 of 30 sessions if not more.

Also, even though I lost or folded (correctly) almost every single big hand today I finished +$1100 which IMO is a great accomplishment, still averaging $1/hand even though my AA/KK are losing every single showdown. When this bs clears I will destoroy 5/10 no more medium sized sessions when I'm winning so I can assure the win, there will be no more mercy I won't stop untill the job is done.

Well, there are a ton of hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/id/1/user/492 *6 handed KK v AA is 45:1 against happening, of course that does not matter.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53776 *This is before I was running bad, still early. If this happened today I would fold.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53781
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53782 *Again I should have been able to get away from this, but Epipen has been putting a lot of moves on me I felt this hand had decent showdown value. But if this happened today I would prob pitch it.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53785 *Few hands later this is what I mean.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53787 *I thought he had AK and if he did he will always fold to a reraise.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53797 *This was about 2 orbits later, I suppose given the history I should have called, but I do not feel comfortable playing overpairs on these low drawless boards. I gotta work on this part of my game,. this is an attrocious fold.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53813
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53815 *I almost never value bet here because I can't call a check-raise but this guy was awfull.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53816 Not sure if I should have pushed this flop, there are a lot of cards that can come that will kill my action. But arguments can be made for either action.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53817 *This is insane, he chases and hits a 4 outer on a 2 pair board. This guy is loosening up against me which is good :)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53818 *Unreal hit, I'm like 99:1 favorate on the flop, but apparently that does not matter. Latey I've been loosing to a lot of these runner runner full houses.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53825 *Again... He actually paused on the river for like 30 sec. I bet the river because he was so poor and I actualy put him on a very weak ace I thought when he was taking so long I had him...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53829 *If the queen did not pair I would pitch this, really strange play.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53830 *Standard AQ play.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53832 *Again...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53835
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53840 *They allow me to make a cheap hand which I can overbet for value, but the cards do not fall my way.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53845 I knew he did not have the jack because he did not 3 bet me obviously no one calls a rearise with a 2 or 3 and he would not value bet any pocket pair on the river because hes scared thats why he falt calls the turn. River had to be a bluff.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53858 *Again missed multi-draw with very high implied pot odds.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53869 *He said he had AA :) Either way I can't call
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53871 *This hand I feel I played perfect, I think he would have folded to a large flop or turn bet, I knew I was way ahead and felt he may be afraid to call a large bet so I decided to extract chips in medium sized components. This is how I would play in lower stakes because the players are not smart enough to see through my plan they just look at the size of the bets.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53878 *He had quad kings. Biggest laydown I've made in my life I beleive, but it's the correct one. A ton of thought went into this, lucky I had ~90 sec timebank I used 100% of it up and decided fold is optimal play. A lot of reasoning I don't feel like writing 2-3 pharagraphs.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53900 *This play is so attrocious it's mind boggling...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53909 *I only called turn because I thought it's conceivable he had a straight draw but he never three barrel bluffs so I had to pitch it. He said he had pocket tens.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53922 *Another lost race.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53924 *I didn't think he had the queen, obvious mis-read but his preflop call is absolutley attrocious. I suspect ooooooooooh had AK or TT-99.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53926 Same guy who called with KQ, he's a terrible player. I would have called any river bet he made. I was almost 85% sure he was bluffing with air. I think had the ten not paired up he would have pushed the river, I think he thought I had the ten and I would not lay trips.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53927 *Again..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53932
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53938 * This is an extremley close call, I thought he may have a lower set and did not want to see a fourth spade come. He played his hand perfectly kudos to him.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/53961 *Tough spot, It's hard to fold here because there's so many hands I can beat, if the 9 came as opposed to the 2 outer-ace I would have won a very healthy pot here.



Today:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54232 *lol
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54240 *Ok so from now on I will play my multi-draws a little stronger, he caught a 3 outer which sucks... I think he would have made a large turn bet if not all in weather or not he missed anyway. I don't know if I played this so terrible because I was allowing him to make a large mistake by staying in the pot betting large but I suppose whenever you can win a uncontested pot you should take it.
I suspect my largest mistake here (something which I changed just now) is not betting large enough on the flop, had I bet $50+ I win this pot uncontested (I think)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54244 *Let the donk bluff off his stack. Calling the turn is a big sigh of weakness so I figured he will fire again.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54262
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54307 *They flop straights/sets all day
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54316 *He donked this hand hard, theres no need to bet out like this it's not like I have JJ and it's a close race, hes miles ahead of any hand I reraise with
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54321 *More KK v AA please. I was going to push on any non A or Q flop, I guess I was fortunate here. This guy was a complete donkey it's unreal. 50% vpip 20% PFR folding against this kind of player is incredible.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54338 *I actually put him on exactly JT and I thought he sucked out the river, I was 80% sure he didnt have a pair. This guy used to be very tight, now hes loosening up but he is in over his head in my opinion. with 67 this is an attrocious call on the turn.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/54350 *Bet bet bet

Thoughts:
Increase size of bets. My general style is to throw in several medium sized bets I suspect this is good in most cases. I think I will have to learn to change gears and mix up my betting structure more.
