LeLe's Poker Chip Fund Project Act II (1 Viewer)

[LeLe]

Continuing after the success of previous PCF Act I & also resting for a couple months from live poker.

I am fully charged and ready to document my next Funding journey again, it will be a mixture of all the Live poker sessions from Hosting, Co-hosting and joining public games.

After adding a few Mint/NM RHC set and a few Casino-grade Plastic set to the collection, I felt my next ultimate goal is to complete another THC / Keeper Set which by my calculation could be a year or 2 long project in the making.

While adding another THC set is my main target, I will still be adding 1-2 gimmick sets along the journey or selling/buying/swaping some of the existing sets.
*Updated* A new Baby is coming early next year so priority had changed, & rather than chips I be funding them for Diapers and Milk powder formula instead

Session #3
Playing at $2/$2 Stake NLH (Public Game)
Using Custom CM Set
Returning to the same location of last week as I am trying to get more gameplay session at the $2/$2 stake

Lost the first bullet ($300) early in when my AK vs QQ vs Ax go all in preflop and QQ hold

Managed to went back to positive when my 23s got a double up vs AQ on a A high board. I also manage to suck out when I hit a Tri 6 on the river to take down another sizabLe pot

And not really having the best of position with the tightest players on my direct right and the most aggressive players on my left.

Also, lost a significant pot when I tried to turn my 78s into a bluff at the river

In for $600 out for $502

My biggest leak is always trying to bluff the calling stations. Aiyah

Yup, it kinda when the line make sense and yet the calling stations say I think I am beaten but I can’t fold and they call your bluff

However, it does paid off in the long run since other might remember that we do make bluff at river too

For sure, but then sometimes these folk always think they can catch you bluffing! Hahaha

The other night playing 2/5, I jammed 300BB in a 4!, 250BB pot with AxKd on a 4 diamond board with the Ad hoping that V had the Q or Jd. This guy snap calls and instantly shows his 66 with 6d. How did this guy call off my triple barrel on a A high board??? All because I had previously been caught bluffing two straight blockers on the river in a SRP. Lol

 

[LeLe]

Been a bit behind on the update as we are expecting a new baby early next year and had been busy with a lot of other stuff.

Will still be keeping on the project but rather than chips I be funding them for Diapers and Milk powder formula instead.

Also, I am only able to be playing weekly or so for only the next few months as I will be cutting down a lot of the poker time once it near the end of the year

Cooler city today. Got a lot of premium hand but always get out flopped or rivered and nope of the hand hold.

Lost the first bullet ($300) early on when my QQ over-pair get outdrawed by the river.

Bought in for another $600 and proceed to lost it in the next hand when my KK lost to a set of 3s and have to take a quick break to try to cool it off.

Bought in for a third bullet ($500) which I also add on $200 for a total for $1,600. Avoid a couple of potential cooler again but my stack went down to around $300 at the lowest point when my AQ all in preflop vs JQs didnt hold but managed to double up shortly from the same villain 2 hands later when I hit a K high flush vs 2 pairs

Not the best day at the office and also one of the biggest losses in awhile

Managed to play a quick $1/1 session on a Sunday afternoon before stopping to watch some EPL football. Only played for about 3 hour before we stopped play.

I was playing quite aggressive this session and get very lucky with the runout. Squeezing and 4bet Q5s on the button and end up rivering a 5 on the river to win the pot vs AA, 4bet with 32s and flop 333 etc.

My highest peak is at around $800 but I lost a huge pot when my JJ run into a Set of 9.

Session #13
Playing at $1/$1 Stake NLH (Public Game)
Using Paulson Classic Set
Nice debut for the chips that I found on the same week, Orange $1 fitted the lineout well and I loved it.

I was super card dead (no pairs above pocket 10) for the whole night but I got AK, a-lot of them got 7 or 8 in total for the whole session and i make the most out of them.

But I keep drawing blank on flushes and straight, & stack was bleeding from trying to hit the draws.

Was down ranging from $100 to $200+ for the whole session before I manage to win some significant pot at the last 15 min of the session.

In for $900 Out for $1,010

Was playing the set at 1/100th of the Chip Value ($25 = 25c)

We had our own "Million Dollar'' Theme Cash game over the weekend, it was pretty fun and goofy to be able to bet check raise $20k on the river

Lost the first buyin when my flopped straight couldn't hold after getting it all in on the flop, rebuy in for another $200 and managed to triple up when my Set of Aces hold up against my buddy with 2 pairs and another with a combo draw on AJ65 double clubs turn and River being a 8 of hearts; netting in a $600+ pot.

I am really lucky with my distribution of cards too, having multiples AA AK KK combine with aggressive preflop play resulting in a very profitable session.

Session #21
Playing at $2/$2 Stake NLH (Public Game)
Using Custom CM Set
Return back to live poker after 2 weeks break.

Bought in for $300 at the start and I have a slow session and finished strong running from almost $400 to $1,100+ in the last hour.

I make a few laydowns when I Raise from UTG+1 with AQo , get 3! by the CO and cold call by the SB (Calling station). I 4! but got jammed all in by CO 5! which I folded. CO later said he got AK when we shared our hands as he curious what cards i fold when I only need to call with $120 when pot is at roughly $340.

Raise AJ from UTG and got 6 callers. Flop come J33, I check middle postion lead out button call and I choose to fold my TPTK, later middle postion shown he have a 3 and button holding KJs. If only the button will squeeze preflop, it will be a very different outcome.

Top up another $300 after that and comeback started when we just play a round of standup game, UTG open to $15. I 3! to $50 with JJ on UTG+1 and the CO (Whale) cold call the 3! and the rest fold. Flop come Q56 rainbow, I CB $50 CO called, turn is a 3 and I jammed over pot almost 300 into 220 pot.
Whale snapped call with 64 and I only run once. River is a 10 and i double up.

Continue to play aggressive on the rush as i sense half the table is chip locking and mange to pick up about $300 from winning 8 or 9 hands out of the 2 orbits.

In for $600 Out for $1,162
