Getting outplayed…NOT
posted by NikiJSince my last entry received a huge amount of positive feedback, I plan to continue writing in english. Thanks for the encouraging comments.
Just finished a very short session in which I lost about 50k.
I m still up about 150k for today so I´m obviously not really dissapointed money wise, but eventhough I lost just a little over 1 buyin, it still bothers me alot because I feel like I was outplayed.
I´ve been very confident with my game until a few days ago, when SBRugby returned to the games after his little break.
We´ve had a few HU duels since then with him being the winner most of the time, and I really don´t know if he is getting lucky in our matches or if he is simply outplaying me.
I belief we will have some more confrontations in the future and I will try to put some effort into analyzing if playing him is a smart move on my part.
While I used to not care at all who I was playing I´ve learned that you don´t need to beat everyone to make a good living out of poker, and that no matter how well u think you play, there is always someone better, or at least there will be after the next wave of young scandinavian guys who turn 18 years old.
Went to the cinema, something I have done nearly every day for the last week, and to the local card club ( the concord card casino) afterwards, mainly to get my first meal of the day at around 11pm, and also to play with some real chips again.
Didn´t play long, and managed to not lose in the 5-10 NL game there. I´m saying “not lose”, because I wound up winning just enough to cover drinks, a delicious Wiener Schnitzel and the cab home, which I wound up not having to pay anyway thanks to my brothers inability to win coinflips. Lately it has become rare for me to pay for the food I consume or the cab that we share. Playing the rush!
Beside from that, I spontaniously decided to go to London for the NPL, a new series of televised tournaments, with the main event being a 5k usd event. Hopefully I´ll get some TV time to get me a step closer to a sponsorship deal.
At last a few HH´, pretty random ones since I usually only convert them at pokerhand.org to either look up the odds or so I can prove that I occasionally take some bad beats too.
A few of them are from yesterday, where I proceeded to win a little in the PLO games and about 50k in the .5-1k limit holdem game at stars, which is good since I was down a little in that game and wasn´t sure whether I could justify playing that game just for fun if I´m losing large sums in it. Anyways, here we go:
Probably would have played his hand the same way, not much either of us can do.
Pretty normal once again, just to show I don´t win every single pot. ;)
Made what I belief is the right call and obviously couldn´t get away on the flop.
That´s it for now. Later,
Niki

I’m no omaha expert, but this hand looks like a donk move on sbrugby’s part. It should be easy to get away from top set there, when your only outs are for a full house if you get your chips in.

also ich denke man versteht alles bestens in englisch, kannst ruhig in englisch weiter machen.
auch mal eine frage zu einer hand, dort sind 3 leute im pot 15k sind schon drin, MissFabry schiebt seine letzten 15k rein. board ist 238 wieso callst du da mit 8 10 2 q ohne irgendeinen draw, miss fabry hattte AA und du gewinnst die hand hier nur zu 12%, den call hab ich absolut nicht verstanden.

Thanks for posting in English again, also good to see you’re balancing poker and offline life, unlike a huge amount of young players these days.
Avoid Sbrugby and other such strong players, you can make a lot more off the weak players where your edge is much larger.
Anyway, keep up the good work and GL at the tables.
