Really weird...

~1450 hands +$2000

For whatever reason that I am unable to explain maybe it was always like this but I did not notice or something, but there seems to be a unusually large amount of weird action flops/hands. Over the past few days my KK just seems to be running into AA like it's standard, it seems at least once every 600 hands or so I get a KK v AA. On top of that there seems to be an unusual large amount of action rigged flops that play themselves eg. I raise from UTG+1 after UTG limps with AKs 65bb stack calls from MP and UTG calls with 80bb stack or so. Flop comes A22 (Jin! right?) Well it seems MP has AA and I just pay him, the one outer hits (I would pay him off on a K22 flop as well obviously but when you hit the A with AK that's preety much an absolute jin hand, especially on a A22 flop)

The good thing today was that I started off by winning my first two all in pots, so right from the get go I was feeling good and was easily able to overcome the adversity that came in the middle.

Something interesting, I am playing differntly now than I was four days ago, my style four days ago is was different than the style i played ten days ago etc... for whatever reason I am playing differentley all the time (I hope this is a good thing) this is something I am begining to notice now. I remember just 4-5 weeks ago and all the time prior to that I would log on and I would preety know what I was gonna go before I even had to do it. By this I mean my play was preety formulaic with a few pinches of bluff, but now I find myself just playing every single hand differntly in every single situation, I think this is a good change. It was definatley a long time coming.

So the new plan is within this week or at latest next week to move to 5/10 NL full time and grind out another 100-200k at those stakes (should not take longer than 2 or 3 months I hope)

Memorable hands from today's session:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55008 *He probably should have gone all in on the flop... kind of stupid with one card to come.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55009 *Standard play by both people. I bet my draws just like my made hands so can't fault him for calling.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55012 *Rigged
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55013 *Very next hand, this is the definition of cold deck. I open shove because I have the image of a tilting player (which of course is not the case) and I suspect people may call with 99+ or AK
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55026 *Same table, this table seemed to have a cold deck.. absolutley unreal stuff going on here
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55027 *Again same table, back to back AA. My AA runs into KK right after my KK runs into AA to balance it out... This is really an extremley weird run of cards
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55015 *Eh... really hard to get away from AA on a king high flop, so many hands I beat. Not sure what I could have done differentley here thats +EV long term, three bet scares away weaker hands. I guess he played his hand preety well.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55029 *lol that's just about the worst possible way he could have played his hand. Obviously his plan was probably to check raise the turn, funny how donks always think check raise is the best play.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/55033 *Standard



Mathematically in a full ring game the odds of KK running into AA is 25:1. Given that you get KK once every 210 hands, my KK should run into AA once every 5250 hands... which is like 2-3 times a week. It seems this week it's been happening about once every 800 hands or so varience is a beautiful thing. The funny part is that my KK lost every single time, I never once sucked out, I should win about 20% of the time but I'm 0 for 11 or so :)
