There has been some talk of what my username on the cerus (ultimate bet and absolute poker) network is my username is feint so if you want to rail i would appreciate the support.
Finally had a nice 8k win last night playing some 10/20 hu poker. I would re-raise many medicore hands pre-flop, i find 90% of the time the player will fold there or you can pretty much get him off his hand post flop. Big hand was when i was dealt a,a out of position villian raised to 60 i raised to 220 he raised to 480 i called. Flop was j,8,5. I check villian put in a pot bet i went all-in he called and showed q,q turn and river was brick brick for him.
This gambling is really turning around i am going to go on a big roll now, I know it. :)

Maybe I am a bad player
Played with $18,000 over the last few days, withdrew $1600 to pay for musical equipment and rent. I've been losing a bit every few days, not playing much because of my incredibly low confidence.
Tonight i lost $4500. $1000 i lost my own fault, then i made $100 and cashed out (so about $475 down), that was on $25/$50. on $25/$50 i put in $1000, playing from 4 to 7 handed, there were a couple of loose players, one in particular. i managed to near double up off him a couple of times, to build to $3500, lost a bit then back down to around $2k, before getting up to $4k, then this happens. playing a $3761 stack, i have K9 suited. and raise on the cutoff, playing 5 handed. called on the button by a fairly loose player (guy who won $15.6k pot against me some months ago). flop comes 5710 rainbow. i bet $250 into $370 pot. called. turn a 9 of diamonds, making a possible flush draw. i check, and fires £800 into $870. looks like hes drawing to me so i make it $2200. he pushes, which leaves me $1161, perhaps i should lay down here as i think im some way behind now, but its only $1161 into a $7595 pot, he shows 1010 for a flopped set and i'm drawing dead. i guess it looks like a stupid play by me (the raise on turn), infact i won't defend it, i made a bad decision and paid the price. i think i may have understimated him as a player (or rather thought he was a looser player than he actually is), especially him calling with 1010, i thought he would have raised something like that, maybe he is trapping or maybe it was because i was playing fairly tight.
i had $3k left in my account, which i put straight in. early on i get up to £3525.70 when i was dealt KK on the button, folded to me and i raised to $250, called quickly on the sb and the bb folded. flop comes 689 with 2 diamonds. check by him, i bet $550 into $545 (i think), and he calls. turn is a J, not a diamond. the pot is $1645. if he is flushing or has one pair, which is what i'm thinking i desperately don't want to give him a free card. i reckon i would probably check here alot to stop the pot building up too much. anyway i did bet $1300, enough not to give him odds, he moved over the top all in though, leaving me with $1425.70 for a potential pot of $7096.40. i figure i'm probably losing right here but it's really difficult for me to fold and there's always a chance i'm winning against this player (he's not a bad player just someone who plays alot of stts so someone who is more likely to make a play or even move in with a big draw), i'm beating j10 here (probably raise pre-flop) or very unlikely 2 diamonds (with a pair or gutshot too perhaps?). possible he has a set or two pair but he would prob raise on that kind of flop. the most likely hand i have is probably 2 medium cards, 78s or something like that with a pre-flop raise of $250 on the button but very difficult to pin it on just medium cards. 75s also a possibility. anyway, i do call and he turns over 99 leaving me 2 outs which i don't hit. 2 situations there against sets i managed to lose all my money with just a pair, i'm not 100% if i should be folding the KK though because i have committed a fair proportion of my stack.
not sure how many readers i get on this blog, have tried to get it more broadcast but maybe my writing is as bad as my playing :( i really need to stop losing otherwise i will be broke within the next 1-2 months. for both of these $7k pots should i fold on the river or am i pot committed? (anyone who reads the blog can answer that) because i've thrown away over $2500 calling on the river for these 2 pots (accumulated). On the other hand maybe the risk is worth the reward.

Just cant stop the bleeding
just blew $36k on absolute $100/$200 just now against Flamez. He played very well and i didn't keep my head on enough. last few days i've not felt like playing low tables. i'm very disappointed at the moment to lose over approx. 9% of the roll but i don't regret playing those stakes. we played about 1100 hands i think and for awhile i was up $35k+ but he turned it around very well, the key pot was when i lost a $60k pot catching my 2 pair against his flush on the river. however, i should have check folded the river as my 2 pair were quite low and if he bets river he prob has at least 2 pair (which would almost definitely be higher).
Starting to get a little nervous here, but i really think things will start to turn around as i am not playing that poorly. The roll is still over 300k but i was really hoping to be up at this point and not down. The good thing is i still have plenty of money for rent and the loses have not yet affected my life or attitude.

Just soooo Sick!!
lost over $7k in one session yesterday. today i lost $5k in about 25 hands. i put in all $5000 into $25/$50, and the plan was to play just quality hands, i missed a few flops though, and went down to $4150. then this happens... playing another table on diff site and reading the wpt updates on gutshot, i click to move the gutshot page a little and just as that happens the littlewoods table pops up, and i click raise (from $150 - another player's bet) to $250 with 35o. missclick which i'm very annoyed at, especially as i'm down a grand. but i'm happy to throw away on the flop barring i hit a big hand. the orginal raise was in first position (playing 5 handed), a call on the sb, and i'm on the bb. both players call the extra $100. flop comes Aj2. 2 clubs. check, i check, check. turn an ace of diamonds. check, i bet $750 into pot of $745. i think there's a good chance i'll get away with this. but its called right behind me, and the sb folds. river misses for an 8 of hearts. i want to bluff this but i'm sure i'll be called. i check, he bets $350 into $2245, i'm thinking he's got a jack and this is a value bet. i push all in. i know this guy will probably call because he's very loose but such is tilt. he does and shows A4o. for a $7905 pot ( i had $290 left-which i lost next hand, moved all in on sb with jqo, this guy called with 108s and he hit flush).sick is how i feel, nothing to do with luck, i could of just let it go on the flop and having the gutshot on the flop didn't help either. Bankroll is still over 300k, but this stuff is getting annoying.

Account Name
If you guys want to follow my jounrey i will be starting at absolutepoker with the username Feint. I feel so freakin excited I know life is going to be great now. Love you dad and miss you.
Starting with my Inheritance of $375,517
Okay guys, Let me start with some background knowledge and how I got to this point. I have already lost close to $150,000 which is about everything i had outside of my last few k in my bank account. Which has cost me my apartment my engagement to my girl friend and most of my friends. I lost most of the money to online blackjack and online poker which i grew addicted too in college where i would spend countless hours sitting in front of the computer just waiting to grow rich. It never happened and after losing almost everything i decided i had to quite, well i really had no choice.
Well, my father died about a month back and my brother and i both inherited his estate which was worth a little under 1 million dollars. My father was extremly disappointed about how i gambled away the money i had made from my small business i had set up my senior year in high school. Well i feel that now i have this huge cash i can mke him proud and win everything back and more.
I have already gotten an apartment and new furniture so i feel really good right now and i am getting back into gambling with the rest. I will be making a few posts a week to tell everyone how i am doing and i hope this jouney will be exciting and profitable. So thats it for now. :)
