Working on Poker770 Deposit Bonus, Forgot to use PRK $25 Tickets, Damnit!

Okay, so I got $7.70 free from Poker770. I'll add it to the free poker list hopefully tomorrow(Added). I deposited there, I think $25 using MoneyBookers. Got money in MoneyBookers thanks to Bankrollmob. Bankrollmob is a great site, lots of free poker bankrolls and I like hanging out in the forums and talk about poker and they pay you 10 cents per post:) That's why I have 1415 posts lol. $141.50, not bad.

Anyway, back to poker770. So I had, $32.70 in my account, played a little cash game a while ago and got to $40 and I think they gave me $20 on fathers day which was pretty nice:) So, had $60 when I started today. Played some $5 turbo sngs, didn't go so good and was down to $40. Than I played 10 man $5 headsup game where top 5 places double their money. Played those for 2 hours and up to $80:) Totally killing them, I think I won at least 75% of them.

And totally forgot about my PKR tickets, I'll try to get them back but its unlikely:(

Anyway, Check this hand out. I think the only 2 ways to play this hand was to push or check. I decided to check cause there was a limp from UTG and the blinds were only 30/60. Nice flop:) I think I bet 280 on the turn, he called and I pushed river but he folded.

Same table here, bullying the small stacks lol.

Heres some Bad Beats
Thought I was finally going win a coin flip but no. Poker gods had something else in mind.

Okay, this one. Thought it was going to be a split pot on turn but no. Had to take the whole thing. Just noticed a 3 would have given him a better hand on river but still a bad beat.

Action Poker- Not Bad

Okay, I just played 1 table and played 10cent 15cent. I'm a little tired and trying to organize my harddrive and look at hot chick pictures and stuff. Anyway, I played pretty decent. I liked how I played, very methodical:) Taking my time, thinking things through, playing tight, playing power poker. Finding out whos the fish and who I can steal from. Everything just working out. So I only play about 1 hour and I'm up $25 which is pretty nice:) Only at 115pop points, need to reach 1100 in less than 5 days. Only earned 25 today, was aiming at 200 but I'm feeling great right now and winning at poker. Don't want to rune that by playing too much poker.

Anyway, heres a couple hands. Nothing special.

Okay, this one I'm happy I got paid off. Thought for sure big blind was going to fold preflop and I'll take it but no, I get a few more dollars:) Queen on the river I didn't like. Thought he could have something like 9,10 suited or 2 hearts but when he checked to me I knew he didn't have it.

What a bunch of donkies..At least I got some money back..Should I have con. bet here? I don't know. They're donks and heavily invested and probably would call with any pair so that why I checked.


P.S. I'll Update the Free Poker Bankrolls Table soon. I'm going to change it a bit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, non poker related - I did some demolition work today. Gutting out a whole house. Worked 10-7, 9 hours. By the end of the day, I was covered in dirt and had scratches all over. My buddy Dean slipped on a shovel and cut his hand. He had to go to the hospital to get some stitches. He's okay but hes going to take some time off. Cody and Corey got sick from the smell of raccoons in the house and they don't want to come back lol. I really don't care about working as long as I have a nice mask and right tools and stuff. Plus I'm getting $15 an hour which is pretty nice and for just swinging a sleg hammer and getting a nice workout:)

I use to have a bad habit of going to bed late and sleeping in but once I get into a routine of getting up early than its not too bad. Lately I haven't been eating breakfeast. I should be having eggs and protein shake but still have lots of energy throughout the day.

Action Poker Bonus Update

Alright, so I haven't played poker in a long time. Been busy working and other stuff. Anyway, I have 5 days to get 1010 action points(5 days to pay $101 in rake) to unlock $50. I figure I'll have to play 2-3 hours per day and I'll make it. I'll go have a shower and play some poker. I've only had 6hours sleep each night for the past few days. I don't like playing when I'm tired, I play too loose and I didn't even notice it until someone mentioned it too me and he said "I could tell you were going to leave broke". By the way, I won't do a poker video for a few days. Have to find my rhythm again.

Anyway, BankrollMob brought back the $140 Action Poker Free Bankroll. Sign up quick, theres a limited number of bankrolls given out.

Also check out $25 free at Lucky Ace Poker. You get a free Poker Software program. "Free lifetime version of Pokerbility".

Action Poker - Finally reached the 1100 Action Point Mark:)

Alright, so I reached the 1100 point mark today. I figured I spent $110 on rake, because $1 rake = 10 points and by getting back $50 its like 45.5% rake back which is pretty cool. Not to mention that they gave me $40 free to start so I didn't have to use my own money:) And the $40 is mine to keep, there is a cashout restriction for the $40 and that is 400 Action points which equals 100% rake back. Totally assume:) Only bad thing is there isn't a huge player base there and you have to play at least a $12 tournament/Sit and Go or you don't get pair any points. It should be like play a $6 tournament and get half a point but instead you get nothing. So my advice is stay away from the tournaments unless you're playing one with at least $1 rake.

Anyway, I had a bad start today. I was feeling good and playing good and that what counts. I was almost going on tilt but I told myself theres nothing I can do and they're just getting lucky. So I continued my usual style and being aggressive when I decide to play a hand but also playing more aggressive towards the tight players.

I lost 2 hands as I mentioned above. This one I thought I made it look like I have a flush draw but he makes a good call or donk call with JJ.

GeneYuss vs. SJ
This hand..Nothing much I can do. Can't really raise preflop unless I bet big and I don't want to gamble. I guess I should have reraised on the flop, thats where I went wrong but if I did that this time I'd lose another $10. I check the turn, scared of a flush but I also had the Q of spades so I was going to call a raise if not reraise him on the turn. I value bet at the end and he pot sizes the bet. Only thing that beats me is a King of spades or a full house, straight flush too but unlikely to have that so I call and see the bad news. He had $10 left so at least I saved $10. Would be tough to call if he bet $20 on the end instead of $10. Don't worry, I get him back a few hands later.

Ya, I got him good. I almost folded the river but decided the river bet was weak and sent out $15. Plus there was nearly $20 in there so it was a good gamble. If he calls me with ace 7 than I'd be sick.

Why is this guy betting 11 times the BB and another guy calling 11 times the BB? I thought they could have aces, kings, ace king. I also thought it could be a misclick raise and a donk calling so I send my $10 out there to find out. And I'm happy to see the raiser folding and other guy calling with king jack. Would rather they both call with jacks but QQs hold up so I'm happy:)

GeneYuss Vs. CS
I limp in because they are donks and queen high is most likely no good. Other guy did alright, raise 4x in position. What I don't like is that he bet pot size on the turn and committed himself to the hand. I was slow playing because they are short stacked and because I want them to hit their ace or king or whatever or get them to bluff at it.

This one I got lucky. One time:) This guy just lost 2 pots to me so I figured hes on tilt and going to give me $10 if I hit. On the flop I figure have a gut shot straight draw, over card plus if I hit a jack it might be good, plus a back door flush draw which will happen about 5% of the time. Turn, I only have 4 outs..But I don't know that and call, if he bets $2 I fold. River, my dream card and I stick it all in there. Hes on tilt and I believe he would call my over bet with a lot of hands.

GeneYuss vs. Condar
This hand, condor raised to $1.50. Its a big raise but I call because 10s might be good, I have position and if I hit a set than I'd most likely get his other $10(Position doesn't really matter if he bets big on the flop. So the chance to hit a set is 1 in 8. I'm getting something like 10 to 1 implied odds. So in the long run I would be up a little if he paid me off everytime he had an over pair (He's not going to pay me off everytime) so I was gambling and it paid off:) Condor didn't play the hand bad, nothing he can do.

Okay, Condar's on tilt. Stealing the 25 cents in blinds with $4 bullet showing 3,5 offsuit. He was bleeding money. Anyway, I pick up JJ on the button and do a standard raise. I was thinking of limping in and reraising Condar but decided raising is best. Condar, didn't play this hand terrible but I just played it better:) and position is king. The reason I don't reraise on the flop is because a lot of drawing hands have about 50% against my jacks so I decided to get the money in on the turn if a scare card didn't come. The bet on the turn by Condar looks like he doesn't want a call so I just put him all in.


Anyway, just got some tomato sauce from the corner store. Reheating my spaghetti and burnt meatballs..It'll have to do lol. Forgot to make a video instead of the screenshots. Will try tomorrow.

Another successful session at Action Poker:) - Nearly broke $300:)

Well, I'm up again today:) Thought I'd try a little 25cent, 50cent at the end of my session and it worked out pretty good. I was aggressive and when they played back, I had the hands. I won a bunch of hands in a row and ended my night there. Had a really loose table image and table image is very important. I would have had to tighten up if I continued playing which means money comes in slower.

Anyway, just thought about doing a video instead of listing screenshots..Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

I had a hard time to decide whether or not to do a value bet here but I don't have much time to decide and I was playing 4 tables at a time. Most times when they check on the river it is because they are weak so thats why I bet(I figured he probably had a weaker queen, maybe even QJ).

I squeeze play a lot, maybe too much but its a very powerful move and opponents have a hard time to call it. Lets say 4 people limp in for 25cent. I raise to $1.50-$2 because there is already $1 in there and you usually want to bet 1.5 - 2 times the pot preflop(thats what I figure)(I seen Gus Hansen 3x the pot on Poker After Dark on every squeeze play but you don't have to bet that much). This squeeze play in the screenshot was a little different because every one was short stacked and I wouldn't mind 1-2 callers.

DoubleD played this hand pretty conservative. He could have raised preflop, on the flop and on the turn but he waits until the river to reraise. He scared me with the all in on the river but I was getting 3-1 so easy call.

Action Poker is crazy for the 2 outter on the turn. It should only happen once in ~40 times but seems to happen a lot more than that. I'll take it, its only fair..Happened enough times against me. He was smart to save his last $3, I bet pot size instead of going all in. I think $7 looks a lot better than $10 but he would have called anyway.

Okay, lets bring out the big guns

Standard raise from the button. I was playing aggressive so the other guy should really raise with his ace queen. Hit my dream flop and do a continuation bet. I get reraised. I have 2 choices now, call or raise. No draws out there so he could have something like second pair which I wouldn't want to scare away with a reraise. So I call and give him a chance to bluff at it on the turn if he doesn't have it. I would most likely bet on the turn if he didn't. He bets and "it was like music to my ears" - Johnny Chan. lol.

Just burnt my meat balls..:( And out of pasta sauce..Oh well, just made a sandwich instead.

So anyways, back my hand histories. Heres the last hand I'll show.
Back the Truck Up! - Phil Gordon. lol:) I liked how I played this hand and stifler didn't play it too bad himself. I had a tough call on the river, he could have a flush, a 6 or over pair plus he could have bluffed if a scare card came. The river was a pretty nice card to see...I waited til the timer was at 1 second to call. I was getting nearly 3 to 1 on a call at the end.

stifler made an alright move by min raising preflop and taking control. "Poker is all about control" - Tony G. I guess he didn't continuation bet is because scary board all hearts. By the way, if you're out of position, its a good idea to bet pot size or close to pot size because your opponent will have a hard to bluff or make a move on you later in the hand.
