The double-tabling fingerfehler

There are many different varieties of fingerfehler. One of the most pernicious is the double-tabling fingerfehler. That is what happens when you're playing two tournaments at once, and just about to click on a button in one of the tournaments, but end up clicking a button in the other tournament instead because the PokerStars software has thrust the other tournament to the forefront of the screen at the very last second. This happened to me last night; I had the bad luck to end up clicking on a raise button I never would have clicked on, had I but known. Since it was a deuce hand, there was a reasonable chance that I could still win it, with some luck, so I soldiered on. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Porpoising

I first used this blog post title way back on April 8, 2010. Here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

I first encountered the term "porpoising" in Michael Crichton's novel "Airframe"; he was referring to the phenomenon of an airplane rising and falling repeatedly, similar to a porpoise leaping in and out of the water. I (or more precisely, my stack :-) experienced this phenomenon in last night's session.

Lately, my overall balance has been porpoising. Just when I thought it was heading back toward the blue, my balance has gone on another deep dive. The only good news about last night's session is that I fired enough bullets to ensure that I'll set a new record for money wagered in a single month tomorrow night; it will break through the 10 million play dollar barrier.

The $100,000 mistake

It's almost always a bad idea to go all in preflop on the first hand of a tournament. I've done that nine times so far in my MTT-R NLHE career, and hit the felt on seven of them. The most recent time was last night. I'm dubbing this foolhardy decision the $100,000 mistake, since I invariably start my tournaments with an immediate rebuy, and so lose two bullets right out of the starting gate.

How to wager 100 million a year

It's very simple to state how to wager 100 million a year:

1. wager at least $8,333,333 every month
2. don't go broke while doing so

#1 isn't that hard to achieve as long as #2 pertains :-) So far this month, I've wagered $8,400,000. That's the third most I've ever wagered in a month, and the month isn't over yet. It's doubtful I'll reach 100 million by the end of the year, but it's a good stretch goal.

Two recent memorable deuce hands

Even though I don't make a lot of money playing 8-game, I really enjoy it. Of the 8 games, I have 2 co-favorites: no limit hold'em and deuce. Both of them can save your bacon in a hurry. I recently had two memorable deuce hands. The session before last, I drew 5 cards on my first draw and hit a number 1 hand - 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.  That's just outrageous luck. Last night, I drew 2 cards on my first draw, and hit another number 1; that's just slightly less outrageous :-)

Lord High Everything Else

Last night, the poker gods saved me, pulling me back from the edge of the abyss. With their help, I avoided both personal worsts I'd been on a collision course with. For the 30th time in my career, I made a profit of at least a million play dollars in a single session. Any time I finish either first or second in a tournament, I consider myself to be Lord High Everything Else :-)

A postcard from the edge

I'm on the very cusp of setting the two personal worsts I talked about last post. So this one can be considered a postcard from the edge :-) I came as close to stopping the bitch last night as you possibly can, without actually doing it. I bubbled the MTT-R NLHE I entered. Had I made the money, I would only be faced tonight with the prospect of one personal worst on my poker horizon.

Third largest blue distance ever

I seem destined to set two new personal worsts very soon:

1. worst losing session streak
2. largest blue distance ever

With last night's losing session, I extended my current streak to 11. As I've mentioned before, my all-time worst streak is 12, which I could well tie tonight. My blue distance is currently $3,691,000, which clocks in at number 3 all-time. Since it's only $280,000 away from the top spot, I could easily set a new personal worst blue distance tonight. I'm not down about the situation at all; I know it will turn around. I just don't know when :-)

Fifth worst ten bagger ever

The longest session losing streak of my career is 12 sessions. My current session losing streak is 10 (and counting). In those 10 sessions, I've lost a total of $2,221,000, good for fifth place on my all-time list. To accomplish a losing streak of this length and magnitude, it helps if you have some bad luck along the way. I certainly did last night. I hit the rail in the second tournament I played despite being a 95.45% favorite to win the final hand after the turn. Friends and neighbors, that's what's known as losing to a two outer. Perhaps a better name would be two oucher :-)

In related news, my blue distance is now up to $3,541,000.

Jinxing a streak

It's never a good idea to talk about a winning streak while it's in progress, since you might jinx it. What about a losing streak, though? Would there still be a jinx possibility in that case? I contend that you can only jinx a losing streak by talking about it if you secretly want it to continue. If you want it to end, and try to force that outcome by purposely trying to jinx the streak, there's no mojo in the jinx.

Although I like setting personal worsts, I don't like them enough ever to secretly want losing streaks to continue. All this boils down to the following points:

1. my session losing streak is at 9, and counting
2. I wanted to talk about it
3. I'm under no delusion that talking about it will jinx it, more's the pity :-)

Eighth worst eight bagger ever

I've now lost eight sessions in a row, for an aggregate loss of $1,871,000. That clocks in at number eight on my all-time list. My blue distance is now $3,191,000, which is within shouting distance of my all-time largest blue distance, $3,971,00. Am I worried? Nah :-) I'm playing well.

Aced out

I've talked many times before about exiting a tournament with a holding of pocket rockets, the best starting hand in poker; I've dubbed this scenario "aces out". In this post, I want to talk about a different scenario - exiting a tournament when one of your opponents has pocket rockets. I'm calling this one "aced out". Last night, I got aced out in the only MTT-R NLHE I played. I'm not sure how often that's happened to me before, but don't think it's very many times. It doesn't feel very good to be aced out, but it's much better than aces out :-)

Runner runnered

I first used this blog post title on June 30, 2016. Here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

There was a time, about 6 years or so ago, when I didn't believe there was such a thing as a bad beat. Silly me :-) Not only is there such a thing, but there's a whole menagerie of them; some are much worse than others. Perhaps the very worst of the lot is the runner runner bad beat. That's when the underdog improbably hits running cards on the turn and river to win the pot.

Last night, I hit the rail when I got runner runnered. I was dealt Tc Qh and the flop came Td Ac Th. My opponent had been dealt 9d 2d. I was a 96.87% favorite to win the pot, but my opponent hit runner runner diamonds. In related news, my blue distance grew to exactly three million.

The land of the 90s

Not counting today, there have been 198 days in the year so far. I've played online poker on 180 of them, which is 90.9090... percent of the time. In other words, the land of the 90s :-) Counting today, there are 167 days left in the year. If I play online poker tonight (which I fully intend to do right after finishing this post), and play every remaining night of the year, at the end of the year I will have played on 347 of the 365 days, or 95.0685 percent of the time. I'm pretty sure that would be my highest percentage of any year of my career. It's something to shoot for. On a related note, if I could achieve this percentage, I'd come much closer to my goal of wagering 100 million this year; I might even achieve it :-)

Third worst four bagger ever

In the last four sessions, I've lost $1,550,000, which clocks in at number 3 on my all time list. I'm heading toward another personal worst, inching closer every session. I don't feel bad about this at all. I recognize that these ebbs are a natural part of poker. I'm in no danger of setting a new personal worst for blue distance - yet :-)

Fifth worst three bagger ever

In my last three sessions, I've lost a total of $1,200,000. That clocks in as my fifth worst three bagger ever. Eight of the top ten occurred this calendar year. Despite that, I've made a profit of six and a half million on the year. I'm on a pace to wager close to 88 million this year, which would fall short of my goal of wagering 100 million, but would still set a new personal best.

G.O.P.s

One of the many nice things about MTT-Rs is that they provide you with G.O.P.s - in other words,  Guaranteed Official Places. In a tournament without rebuys, you can't be guaranteed of an official place since you can't guarantee that you won't bust before the late registration period ends. In a tournament with rebuys, you can simply rebuy as many times as necessary to ensure that you outlast the late registration period; after that, every player who busts receives an official place.

Last night, I played two MTT-8games and two MTT-R NLHEs. I had 0 official places in the MTT 8-games. In other news, my blue distance has topped 2 million once more. Time to get on my horse!

Poker interruptus, times two

Last night, I was enjoying a double shot of poker, playing on Pokerstars and watching the final table of the WSOP main event at the same time. So when the plug got pulled on me, I had double the pain. How did the plug get pulled? My laptop overheated from the heavy workload I was putting on it, and as a precaution some system software decided to turn off the screen to remove one of the heat sources. It was a bit eerie - I could still hear the audio of the WSOP stream, but obviously couldn't continue to play. I decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and turned off my laptop at that point. I'll never know if I would have been able to make a profit on that last tournament.

Telerailing

Tonight, I'm telerailing Joe Cada at the WSOP main event final table. I'm watching the ESPN stream on my laptop. Joe was the main event champion at the 2009 WSOP, and it would be awesome if he came out on top again. Right now, Joe is the short stack, with five players left. I know from experience that it's not always such a bad thing to be the shorty :-)

In other news, last night I had my third straight winning session.

The first foot of runway

I've used this title before, but if the shoe fits ... Last night, in the one tournament I played, I landed on the first foot of runway, making the money with no room to spare. That's the 19th time I've done that in my MTT-R NLHE career. It makes for a thrilling, nerve-wracking ride :-)

Trigger happy

Last night, I got trigger happy. I fired 11 bullets.That's the third most I've ever fired in a single tournament. I missed the money by 3 places. Here are the holdings I had the 5 times I hit the felt, followed by the number of players who went to showdown and my percentages to win the hand before the flop, after the flop, and after the turn:

hand  5: AQo 4 36.76, 33.29, 45.00
hand  9: A4o 3 15.29,  5.98,  4.76

A pair of sixes

Last night's session was nearly a carbon copy of the one before it. The only difference was that I did just a little bit better, getting under the lights in both tournaments. I could get used to this :-)

A pair of nines

A pair of nines is not a bad poker hand, but the title of this post is not about a hand. It's about the great result I had last night - I came in ninth in both tournaments I entered. Last night's session strongly resembled the one from two nights before it, which was on July 4th. Once again, I double-tabled an MTT 8-game and an MTT-R NLHE. Once again, I played over one hundred hands in each tournament. Once again, I made the money in both. The main difference this time was that I only got under the lights in the MTT-R NLHE. In other news, my career MTT 8-game balance is now in the black, to the tune of $200,170. Now that I'm on the right side of zero, I want to move away from it :-)

$50,000 the easy way

To a seasoned poker player, money not lost counts just as much money won. Every amount is either a positive or a negative delta; losing a specific amount less than you might have lost does the same thing to your bottom line as winning that same amount more than you might have won. Last night, I made $50,000 the easy way, by virtue of the fact that I didn't lose it, when I easily could and should have :-) Why should I have lost it? For the simple reason that I make it a practice, when playing MTT-R NLHE, to rebuy immediately after being assigned a seat at a table. Very rarely, my first hand starts immediately, before I have a chance to do this rebuy; in such a case, my balance isn't incremented until the hand is over. That's what happened to me in the first MTT-R NLHE I played last night. I hit the felt on the very first hand, so I was quite happy I hadn't been able to rebuy immediately :-) I lost only $50,000, instead of the $100,000 I should have lost. I'll take it!

Double the fun

Recently, I've returned to double-tabling; that is, playing two tournaments at the same time. Anecdotally, I do better when double-tabling than I do when playing just a single tournament. I think the reason is that I have less time to think, and that can be a good thing :-) It's an awesome feeling to crush two tournaments at once; that's what I did last night. I got under the lights in both. I hope for more of the same tonight :-)

Towards zero

When you have a career balance for a poker style and flavor which is in the red, you basically have two options:

1. never play that style and flavor again
2. do your best to move that balance towards zero

As I've said before, I really enjoy playing 8-game, and I've been on a mini 8-game binge lately; I've been playing it simultaneously with MTT-R NLHE. Last night, I moved my MTT 8-game balance significantly towards zero. It started the night at $-567,830, and ended at $-228,830.

Foldsterpiece

Last night, I think I put on my finest display of folding ever - it was a true foldsterpiece :-) 27 of my final 34 actions were folds. This enabled me to make the last money spot in the third tournament I entered. I survived two fall ins along the way, so there was a healthy dose of luck involved; there was a healthy dose of skill involved, too. I never would have made the money without all those disciplined folds.

8-freq rockets

Here's an excerpt from my "6-freq rockets" post from 2013:

There are 1,326 unique starting hands in hold'em. Six of those are pocket rockets, the best starting hand in hold'em. Therefore, you should expect to be dealt rockets once every 1326 / 6 = 221 hands.
...

The formula for calculating the rockets frequency factor is as follows:

freq_rockets = num_rockets * 221 / num_hands


Plugging in the numbers from last night's session, freq_rockets comes out to 6 * 221 / 161 = 8.24, aka 8-freq rockets :-) Unfortunately, the superabundant rockets didn't help me enough; I didn't make the money in any of the tournaments I played. I'm due for a big profit one of these days.

yaftb

On Friday night, I experienced yaftb - yet another final table bubble. It was my fourth final table bubble of the month. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a profit on the night. The good news is that my extrapolated profit for the year is a healthy 14 million.
