Stake Results (Week 2).

Put more volume in this week. I ran above EV in week 1 and below EV in week 2. I lost a $414 flip with QQvAK AIPF, and generally ran horrible at NL($4). I am happy that the week was positive at least after that huge losing day.

Week 2: $182.87 profit each (12,182 hands)
Week 1: $723.05 profit each (2,735 hands)

Day 13: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 14: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 15: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 16: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 17: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 18: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands
Day 19: +$_xxx.xx _xxxx hands

Big losing day.

$900 below allin EV.
Largely due to an allin for $470 with 55vKK on J52 ... K.

I probably should have quit, but then I played short-handed and heads-up with a guy (shaffrey) who repeatedly cold decked me and won EVERY single showdown, 7/7. That "cheater" won $1088 off me, it was super aggressive and I started getting allin light, but he kept holding the cards. Probably was some tilt in there, but it is hard to believe the same guy keeps holding over you that many times in a row (flush v flush, toppair v overpair, 60/40 AIPF, QQv99 AIPF ... that's 4.5 full stacks right there in about 10 minutes).

This has been my biggest losing day at hold'em this year.
Now I am super pissed and can't play.

WCG|Rider big mistake ... got a new stake.

WCGRider made a big mistake in his actions, but nevertheless it looks like it will turn out for the best. After posting on a discussion board the dispute most people took his side, because he has a good reputation there, wrote more eloquently, and bent the truth. In addition to the normal personal attacks on message boards, lots of people even said I would never get staked again.

However, at least some people must have read it and saw my side and I got another staking offer unsolicited. I accepted that stake, which was for a larger amount $5000 instead of $1000, does not have the max tables of 6 limit, and it not only allows NL($2) games, but NL($4) games when they are juicy.

Will report results from the stake daily in the blog.

Day 01: +$__50.80 __595 hands
Day 02: +$_141.15 __380 hands
Day 03: +$_585.35 __546 hands
Day 04: +$_668.80 _1214 hands
Day 05: too busy to play today.

WCG|Rider is dishonorable.

The staker was WCG|Rider.

I sent him an email asking why he thought it was fair and that we would settle up tomorrow. In the end of the email I told him I was going to sleep. Instead he calls me up and says I have to get up out of bed right now and ship him the money.

So instead of having more controversy that is what I am doing right now, it is not worth $100 to me. Everyone should know about his character and doing business with him.

Poker and life downswing forthcoming for him IMO.

Staking dispute.

The staker decided today to quit the stake.
However, it was a 4-week agreement, that he ended after 2 weeks.

He 'bankrolled'' me with $1000, and I have sent him $598.40 in profits over the 2 weeks.

For ending the stake early I think I should get some sort of "bonus" (I suggested $100, but he disagreed), since an early ending was not part of the original agreement.

What do you think?

Cheated Sunday.

5 Sunday losses in a row.

Another $800 lost today (~$450 below EV).

I am really pissed, how come I didn't learn from the last 4 weeks?

Week 1 Stake Results.

I haven't play so few tables (6) in a while and probably wouldn't have if I was not in this staking agreement.

I ran really well, played with more confidence since I had no risk, and took advantage of a lot of opportunites that I probably usually miss when 24-tabling.

Week 1: $345.72 ---> staker

Staking agreement.

I entered a staking agreement which will last at least 4 weeks.
It will be for 6-tabling NL($2), PL($2), and/or NL($2)(6-max).
All other levels will be under my own account.

I did have a nice $800 win yesterday on my own account at the NL/PL($1) levels and was playing great and running great. However, when things are not going as well it is a lot less enjoyable. I should be able to enjoy poker more playing less tables and I should play better as well since this is a "no risk" stake and will provide me peace of mind.

I say "no risk" because the most likely outcome in my mind is that I will just be giving money to the staker, but it will provide me some relief as it is no risk. Each week I either send half of my profits, or he will reimburse me my losses. Losses are carried forward to the next week. He sent me $1,000 to start with, which buffers me so I can still play my normal limits if I have a downswing. I think without this staking agreement I would not have the discipline to play just 6 tables at a time too.

I am hoping that if I make him money 4-weeks in a row, then he will move up the stake to NL($4) ... etc., but that has not been discussed yet. Let's see how things go.

84o.

I have really had it.
http://www.cardschat.com/hand/9443 96% ... JJv84 allin on 233.

Ok, so I got on tilt and try the 84o.
http://www.cardschat.com/hand/9444 13% ... 84vQQ allin preflop.

Just cannot win.
I was 35% W$SD today, got crushed no matter what.
This is my 3rd huge Sunday loss in a row.
I guess I cannot play on Sundays.
