In other news, wsop starts in a couple weeks, pretty excited about it, gonna play atleast 4 $1500 events (most likely goin 50/50 with a friend/(s) on them), and also highly likely that I will be in the ME.
hrm, our lease is up july 1st, so im gonna start lookin at new places soon around the vegas area, anyone who knows any nice apartments plz link me
mmmmmmm.........lost like 1400 last weekend
won like 600 this week
+1800 this month so far.....
Doing well in the cashgames, sucking in MTTs
Gotta start putting more hours in and smoke less pot
moved up to nl25 6max 3-4 days ago, haven't had a winning session yet
running over 8bi below expectation at nl25, down 11.5bi...
graph of nl5-nl25 6max
should be up 325, fml =[
gonna keep grinding, kinda annoyed, not really focused on winning money but making the right decision on each hand, guess its only 10k hands of downswinging, still really annoying.
this rant could be extremely long and pissy, bottom line comes down to i'm 75-95% almost everytime last 3 days and just keep getting shit on, on the river =[
I spent the first month in Las Vegas refining my FR game because I am way too lag on the 1/2 tables. After a month of doing so, I reverted back to my regular game, 6max, since its time to start making real money.
I fixed some major leaks I had in fr for when I visit the casino, although I'm mostly an online player and will be mostly just that until I have $18k (then ill put 8k in the cage for 1/2 and leave 10k online)
Now I'm very confident I will be able to win in the casino on a regular basis and at home in my 6max games, time well spent imo.
During my 1st month in Las Vegas, I've learned how bad my ego was, how much I have to learn, humbled myself alot, learned theres a big difference between confidence and ego, and learned that I am NO WHERE NEAR the top MTT players (thx bigred000)
Also got stoned with bigred on 4/20 and listened to a lot of his tournament philosophy, felt like i was a student sitting in a chair listening to a great teacher. Was an awesome experience, although I was really fucking high and alot of it didn't stick, so you better get your ass over here today or this weekend bigred :-)
Ah, heres my graphs so far from online since arriving in Las Vegas.
Going to continue to grind online until I have 18k like said before, I don't want to be staked anymore by anyone ever again, not for sundays or anything. I only want to do this on my own for now on.
During WSOP time, after I learn more about MTT's from pxfactor and stoxpoker I will start taking MTTs seriously, although I am and always will be a fulltime cashgame player.
(I will sell %'s of me to people stupid enough to buy them! Just playin, I'm sure when the stakes are high and prizes are high I'll be at my 100% best game.)
I won't be going back into the MTT circuit til my online roll gets much larger though, and realize after talking with bigred how much I need to learn to be a competent winning tournament player itlr and not just a lucky donk. :-)
Hrm, lovin vegas
rS.evade has railed me during a session I played yesterday, and found two major leaks I had in my game that I never recognized as leaks for the last years, which will drastically improve my winrate itlr. He also taught me how to use the huds correctly, and am very appreciative for what he has helped me with. I believe that I'm now capable of being a winner on midstakes, but only time will tell.
He also clogged our toilet, lol, someone send a plumber to our apartment plz. Its been like 3 days and still nobody has come to fix it. wtf! Its like im living in the phillipines or something -_-
OK guys, gonna go eat and relax for an hour or so and put in another 1-5k hands
ok, so i played outside my roll and dusted like 2k after moving to nl100 too fast.
learned a lesson, why the fuck would i be able to move up that early when its against br management rules and a rule for just about every player. I'm no better than them and theres no reason for me to ever take a shot, since taking shots may pay off once in a while, but will always result in an epic fail.
I got too full of myself, too much ego, and thought the games would be soft enough to crush at nl100 fr, but one bad run below expectation, then some tilt, b4 i knew it, I was playing HU and HU SNG's like an idiot chasing loses.
If I were playing properly rolled, there would have been no emotion to losing 5-10 buy-ins and I would have been completely fine.
Also learned that when I have DS out of my roll I tilt easy *(pretty obvious)*, and that my ego was keeping me from moving down. Now that I recognize the problems, I'm working hard to address them and take it to the top.
im restarting from scratch and regrinding on my spare time from a bill, idk how much im gonna be playing with the $330 deepstacks going on at the venetian all week (25k for 1st), but i'll definitively be playing online during most of my spare time since the deepstacks are going to take up the majority of my roll.
I busted in the 1st hour today to a fucking donk who was raising every hand, set over set after missing a power draw a couple hand b4 (actually 2 power draws, one open ender with 2 live overs and tp w/ nfd vs mp who ended up making a set to beat my tp A2cc on an AJ7cc board)
meh, pokers been frustrating, I'm really annoyed with MTT's and ALL i want to do is grind cashgames, but with these deepstacks going on, its pretty hard to say no to going and playing in them with those fields being as soft as they are =
kinda down on myself, learning a lot lately, and really looking forward to patrick (bigred) coming out to vegas, and JC and Frinkx (who is doing Amazing at foxwoods right now, or was atleast yesterday, I hope hes still in it)
rS.eVaDe is going to be moving in with us on the 21st, hes a very strong nl100 - nl600 grinder, has very little leaks and has amazing tilt control and a great poker mind. I'm looking forward to that as well.
Lifes been good, yesterday I was really down on myself about alot of stuff, kinda regrouped though after a few good talks with patrick whamm and hattan, thanks guys.
ok, gonna start back on the 2, following my guide.
