So it's been a while since my last update, but big things have been poppin' (so to speak) in the last few months. I had a fantastic run at 10NL in April and May, winning about 45BI and getting my roll up to $600 before shipping it over to FTP for the bonus and rakeback. I just started 25NL on FTP on the 27th after the check got here but I've already managed to book 10BI. SHIP!!! Here are some of the pretty graphs for all of May (I had the stars and FTP stats split up on different databases because my first one was getting kinda big, so the graphs come in pairs): stars 10NL PT: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_stars.jpg[/img] FTP 25NL PT: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_FTP.jpg[/img] stars graph: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_stars_graph.jpg[/img] stars game analysis graph: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_stars_gameanalysis-1.jpg[/img] FTP graph: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_FTP_graph.jpg[/img] FTP game analysis graph: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/May2008_FTP_gameanalysis-1.jpg[/img] So as you can see, I've been running pretty well lately along with (I believe) playing well. I spent A LOT of my downtime while waiting for my stars check to clear going over all of my stars PT stats for April and May to see if I could find and fix any leaks before starting to play on FTP, and I found some areas that needed attention and did what I could to take care of them. Also, last night I managed to book my biggest cash win ever! One of the biggest hands of the night came when I was HU 300BB deep against an overaggro loose semi-fish: [url=http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/456908]http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/456908[/url] There was a lot going on that hand since we had been playing together for so long, so that is why I just flatted the flop. I thought he had a boat on the river and was surprised he folded...he later told me he had QQ =P. Anyway, here is how I ended up last night: [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h309/joeykrack42/biggestwintodate5-31-2008.jpg[/img] Hopefully I can keep running good and makin' that $$$!!! Sick life. XD GL, all! -Joe

Live poker is so awesome. So much fun and so profitable when the 10NL internet fish are playing 1/2 (lol...oops =P). Unfortunately, the 1/2 300max is the biggest game around campus, and all the non-regs and cheap donks buy in for 50BB or less, so all the real money is split between the regs. So I do what I can to try and recruit some new fish when I can...and lucky for me, I found a group of some real softies about a month ago who think they have a clue at a weekly tourney a play in (but apparently none of them even know what fold equity is). And they have some deep pockets. One of these ATMs was at the game this week, and of course he got to a great start by stacking AKhh with QTo OOP with the flopped nuts vs TPTK+NFD after calling a RR for 1/5 of AKs stack. So he had a pretty nice $600 stack from the get-go, and after I had doubled up with the nut flush one hand I could smell blood. Then he raises to 8 in EP and I look down at AA when it gets to me. 25 to go, effective stacks about 580, I cover. He flats and we see a flop of 894 rainbow, and he checks it to me. I put 45 into the 53 pot, and after about 10 seconds he says, "100 more." Now, he loves the check/raise-check-bet bluff line, and I know he will CR me here with a lot of hands, but I'm trying to think of the best way to get value out of him here and if there is any value in 3betting. So I do a little thinking as I look at him, and then he starts shuffling his cards and then rubbing his neck, 2 big signs of his that tell me I can be 100% sure I have the best hand and that he probably has a hand from TT-JJ, and because he likes to try being a hero, he WILL call me if I push. So then I announce "all in" and go back into my tank. I'm just waiting for the call, and he is sitting there agonizing about how "this would be the worst call I've ever made" and etc, and then finally he says those 2 beautiful words, "I call." I immediately flip over my AA and even think about tipping the dealer before he stands up and reluctantly flips over T9o (LOL). Now I am extremely baffled...I knew he'd be a hero, but not with that kind of hand, and now he is drawing almost 3x better than he would if he had just an OP. I know that some of you may think that this is nothing, but this was by far the biggest pot of my life up to this point at 1164 or whatever it was, and for a 6BI pot I didn't think I'd be sweating so much as a 3-1 favorite. Then the cards come out. Turn 7. I know it's coming now. River 6. "Are you serious...are you fucking serious" is what everyone else is telling this kid as he puts his hands over his face in embarrasment and sits back down...I just ask him how much more it is, I give him the other 400+, and ask to be dealt out while I go to McDs. Then I go to get some food and cool off. On the way back up to the apartment from McDs, I'm feeling a little happier now because I can't wait to eat my double cheeseburgers. Then when I get into the elevator up to the room, I notice a sticker above the door as the car begins to stop. It's a sticker for the student book store. And across the bottom, in big bold Penn State blue letters, are the words [b]"Crack The Nuts."[/b] Obv I go on immediate lifetilt as I leave the elevator and go back to the room. Bad beat #2. The best part about this whole situation (and probably the funniest) is that at about 6am that night I got a text message from the kid. Here is the transcript: From: Scott Poker "Im really sorry that the worst call in history got there. considering the situation, you took it extremely well. I don't know if this txt was a good idea but/If and it does not look likely but if i build a bankroll then i will give you 500 back. I really am sorry." So this just managed to tilt me even more, because I know he isn't going to build a bankroll (after seeing that 1200 stack just go down to 500 or so before I left) so I won't ever see that $500, and it just felt like he was putting salt on the wound, but I give him credit for the offer and his intentions were obv good. All I know is that I hope he runs like god some more so I can get my money back XD. Sick life.

So I haven't been playing very much poker lately because of school, since I need t get As in everything to continue going to school and I've really focused on studying a lot more. Every once in a while though if I had a free hour or something I'd play on this nice little facebook poker application and win, and I got myself up to a #167 world rank and 13million chips by friday from like 4.7million chips on wednesday. Then the fun part... I had been selling my chips off in small amounts, like 100k-500k, for the past month or so and had made like $100 doing it, and I put another ad in the application forum last night to see if there would be any more buyers. When I got home from work today at 2, I checked my messages and saw that one person was asking how much I could sell 10million chips for, and I told him $600. He told me it was a deal, sent me the money, and I gave him his chips. I also sold 1million to someone else for $80. After PayPal fees, I was up [b]$654[/b] from selling fake chips to people on a fake poker application where no one ever plays seriously, or at least well, lol. I have about 2million chips left, and considering how easy it was to get to 13mill I might just try again and sell my chips until I am rolled for like 50NL or have a deep 25NL roll or something, or maybe even more. It is much faster and easier than 10/25NL and there is no risk, so we'll see how that goes. lol ship teh moniez!!! Sick life! GL all XD -Joe
