Blunts & Bills

so, the past like 3 days have sucked. ran really bad at 1/2(was being spewy too, calling people down way too light), then started playing well again, and managed to get out of my rut since ive started playing 1/2 and made some monies. I made about 2k yeasterday, 1400 at 1/2 and a buyin at 1/3 deep. I actually owned some random dude fish for 2 buyins at 1/2 HU, then he decided to sit with me, carrot and the fish at 1/3. Well, I ended up stacking him there too. Thx for the 1k fishy. Ran into a tricky hand in the 1/3 deep session:

Last night I broke my last mouse. This has been 2 this week, 3 this month. I need to get something else to apesmash when im angry/high. Suggestions?

Im going to buy the MX Revolution today. I also need a copy of windows for my damn macbook so I can run pstars.

Tonight I have to play KenTheCow HU for this 2+2 HU tournament they ran. Winning this will take me to the semi's and guarantee me about 1.5k. If not I take home 750 which isnt too bad. Ken is a solid player, I have been talkin a lot with him on AIM. I think this could be a really tough match, even though he says HU isnt his best game at all. Im looking forward to the match.

Im izzouuut, hollllaaaa

Today I decided I am going to try a few new things this month in order to get my game back on track. I have been running pretty poorly lately, and feel like my play is being affected now. I decided to drop down to 1/2 and grind a ton of hands this month 8+ tabling on FTP. I am pretty overrolled for 1/2, but its easy money, and the games are always good.

The main reason for playing 1/2 instead of 2/4(which would make more sense bankroll wise...) is that I feel when I am on my B/C game, I am probably breakeven at 3/6 and 5/10, and a somewhat marginal winner at 2/4(1-3ptbb). However, I feel I am probably a 7+ptbb winner at 1/2 on my B/C game. I can also 8+ table more efficiently at 1/2 than 2/4+ due to actually having to table select. I also never feel like I am not the best player at any 1/2 6m tables, ever. Whereas at 2/4, there are definately a few regulars who can be a pain in the ass, and can adapt well. Obviously the higher you move up, the more regulars youll find at the tables that make the overall expectation lower at those tables.

However, when I am on my A game, I feel like I can beat up to 10/20. I am just not on my A game all the time, and have a lot of trouble with focusing. I want to spend time this month at lower stakes working on my endurance to play longer sessions, and to work on playing my A game more often, and work on being able to better identify which game I am on.


Thats all for now

So i just played some donk hu 25/50. I had a huge edge(as far as HU edges are concerned, obv no one really has that huge of an edge HU), did pretty well vs him the entire match. I watched him play some dude HU for an hour and when that dude left, I decided to play him. He ran like god. I lost a lot. I am angry. SO, im just gonna pwn some noobs at 1/2 for a long while bc I am sick of variance, am still not comfortable playing pots over 1k(yeh, i know, i was just playing 25/50). So I think ill just destroy 1/2 for a bit, maybe focus on donkaments some more. Wow I hate poker. Id post hands from the 25/50 match but my VMWare Fusion license just ran out, so I cant access my Windows based programs . Thats another bad beat.

Well, September was pretty uneventful. I am/was stuck on the month. Hard to say how much due to my new comp/new database(my old one crashed), but im guessing about 5k. I wasnt terribly focused all month, and took a lot of shots. Unfortunately, I didnt run too well. Happens.

So, I decided I am going to play a minimum of 40k hands this month at 2/4. I want to make sure I am a decent winner at 2/4 before moving up. Hoping for a winrate around 5ish, but maybe ill run sick hot like Evan and be at like 10ptbb. I will be playing all of the hands on Full Tilt unless their software starts gaying me again.

Other than that, my life has been pretty meh. Currently pledging in a fraternity here at school. Very excited about that. Classes are pretty meh, but I am getting by, and starting to get back in the swing of things(have been out of school for a year and a half). Unfortunately, I have not yet met a girl. Not sure why, but I am going to really work on that this month. Anyways

Heres to October.

P.S. - I am going to start coaching. I will coach up to 1/2 NL, and my rate is 75/hr + 35% net profit from the session. I will always be available to discuss hands as well(as long as we are at least doing lessons weekly). Just PM me if youre interested.

So this month has been crazy. I started the month stuck 10k. Playing a lot of 3/6-5/10. Lost like 5-6k from tilt, the rest legitimately. Regardless of the tilt, I was playing awesome all month. I was seriously reading souls. The game all of the sudden made sense to me. I went from -10k to +10k on the month in about 5 days. Yay

Not. Lately I have been getting extremely depressed again(no idea why really..). Been doing a ton of drugs(weed, lsd, x). Not going to class, etc etc. My life is kind of falling apart. I am also really sick... boo hoo. Anyways, my game is off now and I have been losing. I have been running below average, but have also not been playing that well. I am gonna drop down to 2/4 and 1/2 and start grinding again. Gonna slow down on the shot taking at 5/10. I need to get back on my game. No biggie


Aside from all that bs, I need some advice.

How much money should I keep online?

I really want to start investing this money so I can buy a house within the next year. My credit is horrible due to some ridiculous debacle with my old university. I am currently debt free, but dont have much else to show.

Say I keep putting money into my money market account. By the time I am ready to buy a house, say I have 150k in there. Will I be able to take out a mortgage for a house? I am not sure how soon I will be able to build up good credit again(if you have suggestions how, tell me...).

Another thing is, how much do I keep online? I would love to keep as much as I can online for tax purposes, but I need to grow my assets. If I am playing primarily 2/4-3/6 6m, and 5/10 FR, with some random shots at good 5/10 games, what kind of online liquid bankroll should I keep?

My plan was to take out anything over that set amount every 2 weeks.

All advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Pat

title pretty much says it all. Since turning stone, I have been playing mid-high stakes, and playing well. Dont have a graph because I just got a new comp, and new PT(got the 17" macbook pro, its fucking unreal btw). I have been running fairly shitty, but I have been playing better than ever(for the most part). My confidence is still really high despite running bad. Hopefully ill start running a bit better and really start to bring in the money.

holla

oh yah, i got my tongue pierced. gay or not? think abt it from a ladies perspective first before calling me a homo. my grandma wont let me go to borgata open now bc of it though. bad beat

A HUGE brag, holy shit I almost forgot. I bought the VOLCANO! For those of you who dont know what it is, google "The Volcano Vaporizor". It is amazing, and well worth the $.

Its been awhile since ive updated my blog...
Ill start with the cliff notes

I am no longer busto. In june I was on a stake, since July I have been off it, and am quite robusto now.

I went to turning stone for the empire state champs. Met a bunch of awesome guys. All the LP guys were awesome. DF_Newb is the sickest person I know. Nolan may be white, but hes still gangster as shit. Pwnasaurus and Bonefone(Phwap) are really really cool guys, and unreal poker players.

I am starting school in about a week(YES IM GOING TO SCHOOL!?!?!@?!?@@!#). Illbe at Kent State University here in Ohio. I am way excited. I have been to Kent 3 times in my life, and gotten laid all 3 times. I figured that was a sign? So yea, I am def pumped to be back in school.

Since I am robusto now, I am looking to update a few things in my life, including my wardrobe, and my computer setup. As far as computers go, I guess I will probably just get the Macbook Pro 17". I can run parallels on it, and macs are way cool. Only thing is it is very expensive. Paying like 3500+ when all said and done kinda sucks . If you guys have any better, cheaper alternatives, please chime in.

As far as my wardrobe goes, I need new clothes. I dress very simple. Jeans, plain white t-shirt, and a hat. Since I am going to be in school again, I should prob dress better. Suggestions on clothes to buy? Was gonna get some lacoste clothes, but meh idk, I should prob just hire a fashion expert. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, now the long story on busto---->robusto. As you guys know, I tilt cashed out the rest of my money online a few months ago. I was on a ~70k hand downswing. Well, rnbsalsa offered to stake me. I took it up as it was a decent deal. A month or so into it, we take down the 50/50 on ftp. I then get off the stake and have a 4k roll. Since then I went on a little heater in cash games and have been doing pretty well.

Well I tried posting a sc but the internet is sucking balls now for some reason. I cant get it uploaded to imageshack. Basically, I have played 32k hands, and made 15.5k profit.

So yeah, I have done pretty well in cash games. I ran very well in July. Good game selection(notice all the shots I have taken) and running well = $$$$$$.

Now, onto what made me very robusto. Being at turning stone with poker players really motivated me to play. Hanging out with kevin and mario(bonafone and pwnasaurus) made me want to play mtts. Well, the night of ftops event #9, I decided to play all the nightly tournaments. I really wanted to play ftops too, so I asked russ if hed buy a % of me. He did. Well, like 9 hours later, we get 3rd for 99k. Ballin. Here is the sc of that.



So, I am now robusto. I am playing mostly 2/4 and 3/6. I start school in a week. I have my gaelic football midwest finals today, and nationals in 2 weeks(which is in Chicago!!!!!! sick) My life is pretty good atm. ballin
