Take it down Hamcakes. Only 4 of us this time, another $5 rebuy for first hour, but this time we did an add on as well. Noice. Piddled around in the rebuy a bit, nothing much of note for me, my nemesis friend rebought three times again, once after I put a nice suckout on him with middle pair turning trips vs his top pair. He bluffs a lot, whatever, I thought I was ahead. Towards the end of the rebuy period, blinds are like 15/30, I've got about 1000ish, he raises UTG to 80, I call in the BB with QJo and we see a flop of KT8. I donk it for about 100 knowing he'll float most decent hands and raise most bluffs (when you play with someone for 6+ years, you pick up on these things), and he calls. Turn ace, he seems interested, so I bet about 175 half expecting a raise. He complies, and I tank for a bit deciding my action. If he's raising the turn, he's got at least a pair, possibly two pair. Probably raising a set on the flop because he hates getting sucked out on, so I'm pretty sure...

Not much to report, except that I was damn close to getting back to my 1k goal sos I can be done with UB. $20 close even. The full ring was nice to start, I could do 6+ tables fairly easily and stayed pretty sharp, ran halfway decent too. Then it just went to pot again and started running bad then got all jacked up about the numbers in my head and played worse and ended up down like $500 from the initial investment not including the $100 I've cleared in bonus money. Pressed waaaaaay too hard to make up what I lost. I thought I was done with this. Yikes Ham, straighten your shit out. I will say some sessions I literally didn't hit hands, which is always frustrating when you see guys splashing around with all kinds of ish and you get nothing with your aces. Summed up by one hand really, 22 in LP, limp it along with a few others, flop A82 1 diamond, bet it with a few callers, turn blankie diamond, bet get 1 caller from SB, river 3rd diamond and he leads and I vomit and see his Qd7d....

I noticed last night on UB that it said there were 28k players online. This confused the heck out of me, since under the FLHE tab, I saw maybe 25 tables populated. Went to my filter to get all limits, not just low limits, when lo and behold the TURBO BUTTON IS CLICKED, SHOWING ONLY TURBO TABLES. Retard me had the turbo filter on the entire time playing there, which explains the lack of full ring tables and really, lack of tables overall. Unclick that to show all tables, and pop goes a whole slew of FR tables from 1/2 up to 3/6. Well f*ck me in the goatass. Here I am struggling mightily with 6max because I stink at it, especially FL 6max, when all this time I had full ring tables sitting there, hidden from me because of my obsession with all things turbo. I presume it was because I was looking for turbo sngs when I first opened the client and never unclicked it, despite messing with the filter a few times after that. Sigh sigh sigh. At least now I can nutpeddle like a f*ck...

Ground like a f*ck yesterday for about 1800 hands, cleared like $15 in bonus money, and lost about $60 at the tables. I'm not great, but I know when I'm running horrible, and man I'm getting sucked out on a buttload. I can't recall if limit is actually like this, or if these players are just that bad. I think it's the latter. Guy floating a 248 flop with K7, turn the 5, river the 6, cracks my kings. DUhhhhh. It's been uncanny how whenever a draw comes home, they have it as well. A gross amount. If things turn around a bit, I've no doubt the monies will start coming in because these players are AWFUL. It's mostly at .50/1 as well. 1/2 and 2/4 are going alright, and .25/50 I havent played much. Clearly moving up to where they respect my raises is plus eeeee veeee. I do still need to cut down on continuation bets and two barrels, since obviously they're floating a shitload with most any hand. Value bet value bet value bet, thin or fat, it's all good, look guys up with ace high...

Not much to report, I took like four days off, not really by design, I just somehow didn't think of fitting poker into my day. Friend of mine is switching jobs and doesn't start till the 18th, so we're hanging out a lot and playing tennis and video games and drinking excessively. It's pretty boss.

I began looking for rakeback deals at other sites because at this point, I think it's fairly obvious that I'm a breakeven player and need a little extra boost to make me feel better about myself. Sadly I didn't find much. I had a deal on Absolute for rakeback, but Absolute blech...however, I never played on Ultimatebet, which is funny because it's just as shitty and shady as Absolute probably, but hey I get 30% rakeback and an $1100 deposit bonus. Course in 1000 hands so far, I'm down over $100 on my intial deposit and only cleared $10 of my bonus money, so yknow. Who knows where this will lead. I can't really picture myself grinding through the entire bonus because the software and...
