hey guys, happy New years, hope you all had an amazing time and have your minds right for 2011 =)

I managed to net 70-100k in MTT's this year, although staked for some, around 60kish profit there which isn't too bad. 2 wsops, 1 i busted early cuz i bought in really late and just meh, 2nd one i get very deep and got in 777 vs Q8hh on a 7TJhh flop (he riv straight), 400th of 1700 or so in this one (1500 nlhe 6max)

mtts are really wearing on me, they are so time consuming (spend most weeks playing 40-90 hours, sometimes more)r

I started watching DuecesCracked and Pokerstrategy.com videos to find out my leaks int he 6max arena, after many videos of nanononooko, balugawhale, ansky and others, i started hitting the 6max felt again

after doing so, i started playing 6max, so far i have 50,800 hands played after relearning 6max for 2738.66 (running about $150 below ev)
(my ptr was always terrible, but i've always been b/e / winner at 6max)

Going to play 40+ hrs of 6max weekly for now on, really enjoy the 40 an hour and can get up and do whatever i want whenever i want

with those 40 hrs of play, i'll gain my 41,500 FPP for 3 sunday Majors and invest 1-10% of my bankroll along with the 3 majors. I'll also MTT on random nights that I'm bored etc

Pretty good year all in all, learned a lot on the felt and off the felt, and looking forward to my first $150,000 year in 2011.

I wish you all the best and Happy Holidays,
Ryan

Merry Xmas to all that celebrate Christmas.

A time to show thanks, to me, its for meeting so many amazing people through the site, forming some great relationships friendship / business / both etc;

I've progressed through the site learning my leaks, being entertained by others as well as entertaining LP for giggles

I hope everyone has the best 25th! I'm gonna grind since I'm in a hotel room, hopefully tons of fish put money on during xmas (tons of ppl get like 200-500 and put it on for nl50 and 1-6 table, atleast i hope so :-))!!

I bought myself some new k-swiss kicks n a half of some kush for xmas =)

GodLuck&HappyHolidays

Hey guys, I spent the last few weeks playing around on NL25 6max on my spare time, and have moved up to nl50 6max. I'm doing very well, but still have some spots that are giving me a little trouble.

I'm going to be posting hands daily, if any NL25+ player(s) (winning or losing is fine from mindset perspective) can give input on most hands, I would be greatly appreciative, and swap MTT advice. Would also just be great.

I'll be posting most 50bb+ pots that I win or lose in daily after each session is over.

imo nothing wrong with asking for help from great players;

6max during week and MTT's on sunday with fpp buy-ins to atleast 2 215 buy-ins and a few hundo of my own in other mtts is how the games gonna be played by me for now on

(check my 6max on ptr nl50 and below before flaming me about playing cashgames please, i do realize it says -54k, but my 6max has always been profitable. I've also spent the last two years learning to play on a much higher level which has helped a lot, along with balugawhale, nananoko, ansky videos etc;

GL everyone, and thank you,
Happy Holidays,
Ryan

setting up a mikogo stream, ship me 40 and ill send you the password, 20 more and i'll add you to the conference call on skype; you can watch all day 10-20 hrs (in a couple majors and many great midlimit mtts and 3 ftops etc) v good schedule to watch

doing this to hedge sunday variance

_This will last about 15 hours_

v gud investment for most imho and very cheap

40 without audio
60 with audio

Hey everyone, got back to vegas on Friday, went out n monstered the hell out of the city the first night out. Afterwards, been grinding some lucrative online mtts and playing downstairs at night (when some moneys on the tables) *14th 55c last mtt session*

gonna find an apartment here soon, but staying at ballys on the strip is so damn cheap and relaxing, gonna take it ez here til after my sundays (2 free sunday mtts for my top 100 tlb, 1 is 100 ppl top 4 go pca, other is 150 and idk how many packages for that one), most likely run the warm up, mil and 2nd chance (been getting v deep in mil and 2nch chance often lately)


----------------

Hey guys, offering MTT coaching to the players of LP, $100 an hour for me to view you and talk you through each stage of tournaments, ranges etc

(my 1 hour sessions tend to turn into 90 min to 3 hour sessions, many can vouch for me, i get carried away talking and having fun sometime =))

$50/hr to watch me via mikogo

$75/hr to watch me via mikogo w/ audio

Recent Graph;

http://yfrog.com/16currentmttgraphj



PM Me and I'll give you my skype/msn

Also have about 20 videos, added audio to 4-5 so far, these will be disposable to anyone who has 3 or more sessions;

I don't want to take anything away from Player999, he is an _amazing player_ who has taught me a ton about hu sng's, recently i gave him 1 MTT session and he went on to make 3 FT's within the next few days (although, i don't know if my help had anything to do with it, he would have to confirm it if need be, hes an amazing player and will win some real big mtts imo)

Gonna focus on my MTTs and play some live afterwards downstairs @ Ballys to anyone whos in the city that wants to stop in;

Elky and Raszi on pokerstars.net biggame is wut ive been waiting for, forever.

Yes. =)

Hey LP, been a while since I blogged so I figured I'd get one in here;

Spent the last few months getting my life together after an insane 6 months living in a party house in LV, was good times but took its toll n my roll.. ;-)

Boredom was creeping in harder and i was feeling more stagnant day by day after moving back to my hometown. Something needed to be done. Watched every pokerstars.net biggame (<3 scott sever or however u spell his last name)

Got my inspiration and won the 11r.

I cashed out a fat 6k+ chunk, paid back a couple debts and left myself a lil to grind up. Taking that 6500 and getting a nice 1 bedroom apartment near the strip and going to play live 3-4 days a week.

MTTs sundays with FPP buy-ins from grinding. (40,500 to play warm up mil and the 2nd chance)

6max cash games online, 40 hrs 24 tabling (graph located below)

Now this is a job with sunday bonus and im pretty confident im gonna take down atleast one sunday in the next 365 days =) top 100 in warm up 3 times in about 10 tries, thats the most likely, warm ups so sick soft too tho. that fcking mil is full of land mines though, lil tougher to bink that fucker.

Some may ask why switch to 6max after a year off of 6max and a losing PTR Graph, this is an extremely valid question.

After going through some insanely large swings in mtts, i've learned tilt control very well. i'm in much more control of my ego now and realize playing hu is silly gambling, where i always want my edge. I can make a large amount doing this, be in correct mind for casino and have live roll too and still play MTTs. This is what we call having our cake and eating it too. I went through some serious mental overhauls in the last couple years and have learned a lot, i've been very solid in the cash arena for the last year.

A few other reasons;

A. to stay in cashgame mindset
B. the games are soft and hourly is nice
C. Can have more of a life and get laid more and drink more
D. I can stop sessions after a few hours, opposed to 20 hr mtt days
E. Never have to be staked again
F. god i can go on all day ;-)

NL50 / 1/2 - 1/3 live + sunday majors and a few random mtts on the side for now, if i make great hourly @ NL100 / 2/5 i'll play them at 12-15k when the games are soft, if not just play nl50 / 1/2.
300/day = 100k a year, seems very do-able this way. Add in SUndays and random MTTs, very exciting =)

Ticket is bought to arrive in Las Vegas on 12-10-2010, if anyones out there definitely get ahold of me here or fb or w/e





3rd times a charm for vegas, first time won 25k and left, 2nd time left with 1.5k and had the time of my life, this time im doin it for work, doin it serious, and goin to the top of live cash / mtts / working hard to reach the mid limit games in 6max.

Gonna be livin it up hard in the city too, just avoid those damn rhinowned nights etc Easy to have a blast in vegas for $100-$200, don't need to go blow umteen thousand, although easily done, i'll let the true ballers ball for now on, til i hit my wsop :-)

Dedicated, focused, Ready.

GL LP,
Ryan

Spent this summer in LV, played in 2 WSOPS, 1st one $1,000 FR i show up 2 hrs late and bust 88 vs AA like first 20 minutes was retarded

Second one $1500 6max, I get a sick stack top 100 all the tourney. got moved to a new table. shark to my right has me covered rest are average to below average mtters.

I get 77 like 7 hands in.

300/600 i make it 1500. bb flats (FTP hoodie and gear, he was solid player)

7TJhh flop, he checks, i make it 3k, he minrr to 6k. obv hes 3betting TT/JJ oop, only hand im scared of is 98ss.

ALL-IN - Turn 4 - River 9 - he has Q8hh for a rivered straight

cool, was a pot for top 10 with 400 to go

Partied my ass off with Jlost88 (LostAccount) and PlayMoneyyyy, both LPers, Jlost is a sick hero, and one fun motherfucker.

John and I draged Playmoneyyy to some crazy clubs and had a sick goin away night when johnny boy was headin back to Canuckland, was an epic night to say the least...

Met Raszi and Frink down there, watched a Joe Cada celebration, he was a gracious winner, retarded hes quitting, i told him other day at table to just grind 25/50 live. hes obv still v solid @ online mtts from my limited experiences w/ him at the table. Met more ppl, forget, smoke to much, love dispenseries. =)

was staked for a while, hit mulligan, got off stake

won some dough, paid some debts, went nuts in vegas clubs.

hung with a lot of great ppl and roomied with Sharp.Info who was a standup guy and a very promising solid mtter.

Got Rhinowned a lot

Had good times

Car got impounded

Offered Car to anyone in house who wanted to pay to get it out and give me $200.

Sharp snapcalls

Cars only worth around 1500, was 500 to get out of impound, 500 gas, food, motels etc, woulda been atleast 1500 to get home.

cut the loss flew home *updated for byrnesam*

Had a nice lil 2 day streak won 5k

cashed it out and flew home

rooming with a great friend, chillin w/ everyone in my hometown n some insane hotties, haven't been here in 8 years, its pretty fuckin sweet.

epic house that would cost me a ton in LV, surrounded by good people.

Setting up my workstation tomorrow.

Had cashed pretty much everything out.

Bought a $1350 bed, paid rent, partying (oct 3 was bday), had fun

have like 285 left on my stars account

gonna run that up starting with $4 180 man SNG's and a few other small stakes games and progressively moving up. When I hit 600, I'll most likely grind NL25 for the hourly there (up 600 should be up 700 over 11k hands in the late summer whenever i played cash, thats where I mostly played) I'll be playing many mtts too, and $4 180s and $3r 180s and 11 non turbo 180s as well and grinding 55s and under

im going to grind $55 mtts and under for a good while. a lot of money to be made on the lower limit mtts and sng's. actually close to tlb like top 30-40, but haven't been grinding in about a month, have just played a lil here n a lil there cuz leavin vegas / moving / bday / life

Back to grind tomorrow, setting up desk, goin and getting chair, its on, donkey kong.

Plan to have 6k by 11/1/2010 on pokerstars

Don't wanna redeposit, been spending too much, but would if need be over a stake obviously

Cya at the tables,
GL LP,

first off - just smoked a bunch of og kush x maui wowie - this is a rant, im bored stoned and feelin a little scatterbrained after playing for around 13 hours of mtts, and smoking weed for about 15 hours straight today.

hit my first one ever trifecta today (to my recollection, but im always stoned), i run my sundays backed by PTP so get 50% of it, 1st in the $22 500 cap for $1750, 1st in the $4 1r1a for $1250 and 1st in the $22r for $4850

(we all know how expensive sundays can be, bapping on ptp has reduced my stress level by a ton and realized how greedy i was being, just waiting for sundays instead of getting all the value out of the great mtts like $5 2r1a etc type of mtts

plan is to sell my sundays til i have 50k and play weeks on my own dime and some mtts under john n lex etc, finish paying off my debts and hopefully sooner than later, then get my own house.

Pretty sure this is the first time I've had a 3/3 at FTs in a day, feels great. WooT; = )

Anyways i hadn't had any win over a g over so in a couple weeks, it was really frustrating, happy to be back in the black.

"events since coming back to LP"

- paid back 11k in debts

(still working on paying rest back to john and lex who are very patient with me, they also put me in mtts very often and know they are my main priority to be paid back asap now)

- didn't take time off to re-evaluate br and situation
played too fast and too high and dumped the 7k left online over the course of around a week or so, playing pretty recklessly and gambling a little too much, i needed to take time off, re-evaluate bankroll and restrict to $55s and under.
lesson learn"ing".
i believe i won't play out of my roll always, but time will always tell if i really learned my lesson this time, or if i will try to do anything retarded. Remembering the games a business, always playing on atleast 100bi and 300+bi for rebuys is so essential.

i can tell you one thing, i dont give a shit to play any 109 rebuys except sunday morning, i dont care to ever touch anything above $215 unless its a series event like ftops or scoop etc, and have found the value in mtts like $11 1r1a and 5rebuys 3rebuys etc to be extremely profitable. also, the 500 cap tournaments $55 and under are really soft, and something every mtter should be doing. Also, for players that 3bet well and play strong positional poker, the $22 6max 500 cap is like the softest mtt on stars and good for cashgame players too (great for nl10-nl100 players to get a quick rip of a g or 2)

So ya, I took a day off, we had a party here, was 2 girls birthdays at same time, was like 500 ppl here, had a fucking insanely sick night. (have a house in vegas with sharp.info and 2 good friends with a pool hot tub etc) This was one off the fcking chains party, i think i got some random pics with my new camera, but i gotta charge a battery to find out.

so that was friday, saturday i take the day off as i had been really burnt out and needed to recoop and think over my game. i end up getting ran into by a taxi driver and i had no damage on my car but he shipped me $100, i took it and acted pissed and walked away a happy camper =)
oh but i lost my phone i think on saturday night...i'm so lazy, how long will it take me to go get another phone, over / unders should be placed.

--- ---- --- ----

Getting back to my roots and mass tabling with solid fundamentals instead of playing tons of highstakes games with fancy play syndrome. Solid Fundamentals are way better for me atleast, and now that i built that lag image against all the mid/highstakes regs, it should be quite profitable for the next few weeks whenever we face off.

"what i did is continued playing where i "believed" i was +ev, "figuring" i would get a win with all the volume etc, meh it gets deep but it was terrible, semi manic.

so ya, i played through that, made a few really strong videos, pokersavvy's cwalk2k23 really loved my videos, but couldn't hire me at the moment which was kind of depressing, but he reccomended me to 3 other sites, so the balls still rolling on that. Its really fun making videos ne ways, bought the snowball mic for a bill last week, the quality is insanely good, if you guys know where to upload a 300 - 600mb files i can upload them to the net if ne one wants the 2 i have done. (1 is 4 tabling, other is a ft, (one at ft the mic came unplugged for 20 mins so the middle of the ft (is a $22r on ftp) so ya no audio for about half the video

--- --- --- ---

so here i am, i went into june 15th with 1k when i got off my stake, was stagnant around 15k for a couple weeks, decided i should start payin ppl back, signed up to a bunch of sites and was also making a lot of videos.

swung down to just about nothin and saved my month today 4tw

feeling good and really baked and very scatterbrained and well im not proofing this before posting so its more fun for you all to read

have fun, this was a fuckin fun day after 2 weeks of losing what seemed to be every important pot and bubbling so many fts etc, exactly what i needed, after a great fcking party, some good fortune of taxi drivers givin me $, crazy parties with 2/1 girl to guy ratio's n tons of fun ^

lol if u read all that, i give you props

GL everyone, 3/4 joint left infront of me and south park callin my name
