Day 47
Day 47
final br - $39.46
today was wild. started of with literally 3-4 AA in the first 10 hands. then i donked around for a while and went -5$$ from my starting point, which i then spent the rest of the night making up and actually concentrating and whatnot.
there was also this really cool hand partway through the night, where i flopped top set, turned a boat, and literally had 3 other people all in with me, which was great :D
last hand of today's grind, i had KK on bb, utg 4bet, folded around to sb who called, i 3bet, utg shoves all in, sb folds, I tell my amigo here "hey, wanna see me get busted by aces?" cause the dude was a tag, but i still figured qq+ to be in his shoving range. maaaaybe JJ+. so i call, and lo and behold the guy turns over aces. flop is jtx, so im just like 'ok, im beat, it happens', turn is a q, and then like magic, the river hits his ace, but in doing so, drops me broadway. Yusef, i swear, youre a good luck charm, and you just saved me ~ 1/2 my profits from today.
so after that i figured i had enough of being a luck sack of shit for the night, and im calling it quits for now, until the morrow. may the cards be with you.

Day 45
Day 45
Well, yeah, thats a lie. there were actually a couple days of really shitty poker going on between day 44 and day 45, and my br went kaput. so thats that.
did some more reading, studying, and whatnot, and deposited another 30$.
then i sat at a couple of 2NL tables, and started grinding.

today was crap. game one was easy as shit, but pulled 3rd when my shove rr with ajs was called by a dude with aqs and a vpip of 40%. game two was a bad beat with my AK losing to AJ, and the other two just failed me. at least now i have something more to keep an eye on though, so hopefully itll work out.

thoughts on itm%
food for thought.
buy-in at 2+.25
1st place takes 9 = 4 buy-ins, profit of 3 buy-ins
2nd place takes 5.4 = 2.4 buy-ins, profit of 1.4 buy-ins
3rd place takes 3.6 = 1.6 buy-ins, profit of .6 buy-ins
win 1st, lose one, profit of 2 buy-ins
win 2nd, lose one, profit of .4 buy-ins
win 3rd, lose one, loss of .4 buy-ins
win 1st, lose two, profit of 1 buy-in
win 2nd, lose two, loss of .6 buy-ins
win 3rd, lose two, loss of 1.4 buy-ins
win 1st, lose three, break even
win 2nd+3rd, lose two, break even.
moral of the story? you want itm% near 25%, you better be getting 1st all those times. if you can only get 2nd, you best be ~50% itm. if you can only get 3rd, well.. best bust better than 62.5% itm.
get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd with equal frequency, you need ~37.5% itm

1st 51.85%
2nd 37.04%
3rd 11.11%
