Poker Tracker - Crash, Freeze, Crash, Players all in the wrong place - Crash

So, I was planning on filling the blog with many graphs and facts 'n figures. However, Poker Tracker just keeps crashing. So I'm not able to. :P

Anyway, do any of you play single table SNG's? I've found if I play my own way, I usually finish in 3rd and occasionally 2nd. If I use a push/fold chart and an ICM chart I always finish out of the money. What is going on? surely using correct ICM Pushes should yield a profit?!

Poker Tracker (HUD)

After reading the book 'Crushing the Microstakes' I've decided buying a HUD is a good idea.I did previously have a go with Hold'em Indicator. It works really well, but the graphs and statistics are miles away from what Poker Tracker offers. I hope (obviously) using Poker Tracker can improve my game... let's wait and see!

Now, I'm able to post graphs of winnings and many other stats - I shall be doing so. Unfortunately I seem unable to import my old hand history from Pokerstars so I'm going to be starting over :/

Why Am I Soooooo Bad At Poker :(

I suck at poker.
I suck at poker.

Yes, I really suck at poker. Just as I think I'm doing okay I start to get into the habit of playing like an insane mega fish. Currently even beating the lowest cash game limit NL2 seems like an impossible dream :(

Slots, Slots, Slots!

Hello everyone, I decided to make a video for the blog today. First up is Party Pigs on 888 Casino. Sadly I forgot to turn the frames per minute up on the recording software :/ so the quality isn't as good as it could be.... damn. None the less, you still get a good idea of what the game is like.

What would you like to see next? I'm planning on doing some live poker streaming on Twitch soon.

Cash Game Update

The SNG's are proving incredibly unprofitable at the moment. So I've been having a look at my cash game records to try and cheer myself up!

Here are my results since I first started playing 2NL cash game poker;

Hands played 3134
Profit             $12.38
BB/100          19.75

I'm really happy with these results. I realise it is only a very small sample. I want to get to 20k hands before I consider moving up to 5NL. If I'm still profitable after 20k hands of course. Earlier today I played 'live' poker online at 888 poker. They have real dealers which is really cool. I then returned to my nemesis, the roulette wheel. I tried two different live wheels. Both dealers were really hot and I soon ran up a profit of £180, then just as quickly got it back down to £30.........

888 Casino are running a promo right now. They match your first deposit e.g you deposit £30.00 they give you £30.00 free! (this includes pounds, euros and dollars)

Are SNG's the most annoying form of poker?

Ahhhhh.. 25 games into the 100 SNG challenge. I've never before felt so frustrated playing poker. I normally play cash games. There are a lot less all ins, and far less push/fold poker. So I'm not used to constantly getting ejected from tournaments when my AA and KK all ins are called by random cards like 7 2 which then time after time after time.... beat my hands. WTF. The tournament I played in a few moments ago. I was ejected in fourth place (3 places paid) when my AA was trounced by the mighty 3 5 offsuit.

How do people play these things for a living. They must have the best tilt control ever, the patience of a saint.

Another SNG win!

Still only the most micro of micro stakes. But a win none the less :D
