mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the casino................ ethics...................

So I went to the casino last night and got slowrolled and pwned by some hawaiian guy, lost around $900

oh well, he flopped the stones, I turned the nut straight (AK vs TT on TTJQ board)

had a really great weekend with Q (Quocy04), adolpho (rS.eVaDe, Danny and Bucky from San Fransisco *they stayed with Q and I)

Spent the day working on my FR game today, decided to play NL50 and start making some money back

Managed to win $107.30 in 6 hours of play at full ring today. Adolpho is teaching me so much about playing with no emotion, staying patient and giving my opponents more credit. My games coming a long way, although I realize I have sooooooooo far to go until I'll be a 1/2 - 3/6 winner itlr.

So, I ran 12-15 cash tables on my laptop monitor and 4-10 tournies on my right monitor (a few $4 180 mans, 1 $109 turbo (lost TT vs 88 for the chiplead with 90 to go....) and had a sick beat in the $55 turbo too...

oh well, managed to do well in the $33 360 man, ended up losing blind vs blind A8dd vs AQss for 4th place, and won a $4 180 man as well

Payed my first months rent here in Vegas, I'm exhausted right now, theres been so many lessons everyday out here, and tbh I've made some mistakes, and working hard to learn from each of them so I can become as profitable as possible.

Ok, so we have $320 deepstacks starting April 1st, around $30,000 for first, I'm most likely playing in them and having 50% of my action taken (anyone in vegas that wants to take 50% of my action is welcome to, other than that, Q will be taking 50% of my action sometimes and i'll take 50% of him sometimes)

Feeling really well right now, pretty tired, partied pretty hard with the crew this weekend, can't wait to meet more LP'ers and great players.

I've made so many realizations of how bad of a player I've been for so long. I've cut my VPP/PFR to 18.52/14.65 at FR and increased my AF by very much.

I'm going to spend 100% of my time on FR and MTT's (other than teaching my roommate some 6max and head up strategy)

I'm close to being at NL100 which is where I plan to ceiling for atleast 50-200k hands, maybe more

Oh...the guy that stacked me with TT last night on the TTJQ board had a few hundos under his stack, which really threw me off, if I knew he was that deep I would have most likely led 150 into the $300 pot instead of shoving, but w/e, learn from my mistake and make sure I know exact stact sizes for now on.

I'm working my hardest to stay away from any temptations that would lead me to bad decision making, and also becoming the best that I can be.

It seems that everyday in my new home in Nevada is a learning experience, trying not to get to out of hand in sin city and keep myself in check, although I still don't have a voice from fridays night out (well i do, kinda...)

Also, I'm going to make sure that I never play more than 10 hour live sessions for now on. I've been bringing 330 to the casino daily and leaving if losing, but broke that rule last night and ended up losing $900 after that guy stacked me (he slowrolled 2 players at the table, and me on the pivotal hand)

Went and got 1k more and by the time the money was there, he was racking up and I only won $45 off of him =

This week I'm going to spend most of the week playing online, with a few days of live play.

I hope your all doing well, Fayths at the Venetian right now...but to be totally honest I can't even keep my eyes open to go and meet him tonight. Hope hes still in town tomorrow

I'm really looking forward to meeting Fayth, Frinkx, Bigred, and the rest of the LP'ers who regularly visit my new home :-)

Gonna go listen to deuces cracked, I'll talk to you guys later and keep you updated

Much <3

Decided to stay in for MTT day, was staked for some big MTTs that I had another epic failure in (i mean cmon guys, i suck )

won the $16.50 360 man though :-)



so i put 200 on the other day, ran up to 1800 today, had a friend taking over for me when i had to go afk on and off during the day, so i ship him $115 so he can start the $3 sng's on stars since he plays on FTP (Dan crushes the turbo sng's there.)

Also won like $200 in the $55 cubed (lost AA vs 77 vs 7T (top set vs runner runner flush with 100tg...FML?) 1st in that was 20k

ugh, was real deep in the 3rebuy, and had something really fucked up happen, i flopped top set, c/r and get called by the FD. turn comes out, i boat up, ask adalpha what he would bet here, he said "timebank and bet 30k" - OH WELL - I DIDNT HAVE A FUCKING TIMEBANK! it folded! went on supermegatilt and busted out of the tourney after that, went n got some McDonalds and now taking rest of night off

I'm stayin on NL10 til I win 20bi on each limit, and going to continue my way up online slowly and grind live for the most part (cept sundays obv)

hrm, can't say it enuf, VEGAS > WORLD (although Taiwan does run a close 2nd imo)

We had a few friends stay the weekend, had an awesome time, everyone was cool as hell, we had a fuckin awesome night out on the city on friday, kinda partied a little too hard at the end of the night, s'all gud tho

Monday back to the live grind most likely

Working on eliminating all my spews from FR play (a great NL100 - NL600 player has been staying with us and helping us a TON) - literally pointed out like 205,695 spews that I had that I never realized were spews.

So, my new goals in life are as follows.

Grind my ass off at 1/2 for a long time (i don't even care to move up, its so soft and no reason to go into tougher games where the bi is only $500 instead of $300)

Going to play NL10 online til I win 20 bi, then NL25 til I win 20 bi and so on til I hit NL100, ceiling there for a bit and enjoy

So, we have these $320 deepstacks coming up in the start of April, my roommate and I are going to take 50% on each other in the tournaments, or just 1 takes 50% on the other and split profits etc.

Hrm, excited to meet Jennifer Harman on the 15th of April for the Harman Classic at The Venetian, thats gonna be so pimp (its a $1050 rebuy, 99% not gonna play in it, just gonna go watch the higher level players play and meet and maybe stalk jen?

rS.eVaDe - Adalpha and Quoc (Quocy04) have helped me SO much since I've arrived in vegas, idk where i'd be or what woulda happened with out them.

They're both fuckin awesome people, as well as Danny and Bucky who have been chillin w/ us as well (both ultra cool ppl and Dannys a great player with awesome potential)

Alright guys, I'm gonna go burn one for the last time for the next month or so (friends leavin in the morning, they brought weed, gonna enjoy it while its here, cuz i'm not buyin annnnnnnnnnnnnnny drugs while in vegas (unless an amazingly hot girls involved and wants some) :-)

GL LP

live poker is fairly easy

wynn players suck

1/2 is fun and most nl25+ players can crush FR here

venetian is awesome, my regular casino

my roommates are straight pimps (seriously, they get me hookers for $99)

and ADALPHA - HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (rS.EvaDe)

great time, lost alot day 1 , won my last 3 days, i love 1/2 and won't move up until i have around 10-20k, since 2/5 is such a dif dynamic and its only a $200 difference since 1/2 is all 300$ bi

vegas is nice. :-)

Is fucking awesome

I've moved here indefinately, and plan to stay for a long, long time.

What can I say, the games are soft, the girls are hot as hell, I got laid in my first 2 hours in vegas, and everythings sooooooo nice

since its all FR in the casino's, I'm going to play only FR online as well now too, I'm starting with $200 and playing on 20 bi up to nl100 and going to ceiling there til I have 10-12k and play 1/2 after that (im only gonna play online a little bit, starting at NL10.

I'm totally in love with this city and my roommates (quoc04 on LP) and Antony (a real cool guy that lives here) are both fcking awesome people

hrm, theres deepstacked tournaments starting in beginning of april, im real excited 4 them

i met Joe, the leader of the PPA, and talked with him for about 4 hours yesterday

I had some leak at fr my first day out here, kinda expected to run over the tables

took day 2 off, went over my strategy and now just playing pure ABC + best hand poker, and have been winning since

Going to the hard rock to play right now

My normal casino is the venetian, if you ever stop in, or are coming to vegas, send me a msg on LP!

I'll be postin nl10 hands for now as im workin my way up the fr ladder for the first time in a long time

Hope all is well in LP land

ok, so i'm in a $100 league with $1 trades w/ my brother and a lot of his friends, first is close to 1k, its on cbs.sportsline.com

I've been out of baseball for 4-5 years, but grew up watching baseball all day everyday, watched sportscenter everyday of my life til i was around 20, etc.

my main question is, who are the best players to get right now?

obviously the bignames (aroid etc) will get picked first, i'm looking for a list of good sleeper players, ppl that are good for points in a league that gives and takes points for everything, such as singles doubles triples, strikeouts, BB's, etc.

The most efficient players I would say

Also, some good relief pitchers and closers would be nice

Hope some of you can help, don't wanna be dead money in a league of ppl that do this everyyear in 3-5 leagues, i'm just single tabling the fantasy league this year

Raiz's poems pretty good (a few blogs down from this blog), kinda made me want to chronicle some of my poetry online, so im gonna post a few here that i wrote in the past few months (haven't written one in a month or two), a good backup, and hopefully some people that enjoy poetry can read

Some of you might not understand these, if you do, then enjoy, keep your mind open, wrote most of these after experiencing serious love/pain/ups/downs/drugs/etc

laugh it up girls, i like poetry, write a little bit, and have some sick mc skills from time to time (not on the spot, just flows out of me sometimes when im with friends, usually when im drinking or high ), def comes from the heart (as all poetry does obv)

hrm, i posted a couple on raiz's page that related to his poem, i've seen a few other lpers post some poetry, and im not gonna be blogging often anymore ne ways about poker, since its all just an ego show (Oh i won this much today, wee!!! praise me!!! or, oh, i lost this much today! and have bashing go on, why blog about standard variance everyday, its just stupid. Literally, its just a retarded cycle that needs to be stopped, so I'm stopping blogging about most things poker related except when I move from one limit to the next, or other important things that others may need to know. Mainly, I'll just post the graphs from each limit and let the green line speak for itself)

so, ugh, i'll post 4 poems here, def not posting a few certain ones, since some are obviously for my eyes only

First off, a poem to lead to the souls enjoyment.

"Dancing with no seat belts"

Its a mission to go out, open your mind and have fun
walk through the doors, release your inhibitions and you've won
don't take too much, or try to hard
you might get kicked out, so kick back and jump around


chemicals change your reality, too much is never too good
Losing yourself on the dance floor is something only a few would


feeling free as a bird, open to see the world
seeing bob in the sky, protecting us or spreading his word
finish the night with a drum and a beer
wake up the next morning wondering what the fuck went on here



Heres a poem I wrote, mixed with poker, in search of right and wrong, Jesus, drugs, and finding inner peace.

"The Path"

Life all is but just a game
One that will drive you insane
Beyond the edge you may go
This is one place only a few know

Upon arrival you may be lost
sharper than imagined
in search of the cross

aspiring one day to be again at peace
Eyes opened to a new world unleashed

If you find the rabbit and free your mind
Learning and truth will begin to unwind
The hole implodes, Your soul is true
The journeys begins, to each a new



Heres a poem I wrote relating to a bad acid trip I had that lasted over a year, distorted my views of reality, put me in a dark place for a long time, until I understood wtf was happening obv.

"Inner Demon"

Centuries before, never seemed to Exist
Awoken in Pain, blood Filled with piss

Beginning to wonder, is this a Dream
Losing sense of morality, ethics, Self-esteem

Shadows Emerge, from each corner and hall
Finding inner light, the biggest challenge of all

A racing mind of Dark morbid thoughts
Distorting your views of who you are Not

The world seems duller now, with Eyes full of pain
Theres but one question left, will I ever Change?



hrm, one more, a good one for everyone on this forum imo.

"Destination"

To get here one must travel far
through fires and storms til you stand true
you can hear all the darkness too
ones failed in the path suffering from broken hearts

Reaching out to see the gate took forever
but forever is never in our infinite time
its time to finally sit back and drink some wine
this is a bond that can not be broken or severed

Feeling of achievement and glory now fill your eyes
Chest full of love, no more pain, no more cries
You knew it'd be worth it, Is it what you had dreamed?
Such a hard path to fullfill, so many cried, kicked and screamed..


As you can see, I'm not a professional poet, almost every poem I write, I try to use a different style and not get caught up in the same rhythm and having poems all sound the same, I've written less than a dozen poems in my life, so call them all shit, i don't care, i believe these are poems that relate well to many poker players, and many other ppl that walk a similar path in life.

Alright LP, this should be my last blog until I get to Vegas.

I'm going to be mostly a live player now, I've made way more live in a fraction of the hours in my life than online ne ways. I'm still going to spend 1-30 hrs a week playing online, but cuttin down from 20-100 hrs a week is going to be very nice and healthy for me :-)

Wish everyone the best of luck, hope atleast a few ppl that appreciates poetry reads this blog b4 it gets bumped, I'm goin to sleep, almost 11am, wtf am I doing still up

GL LP,
Ryan

Tournaments fucking suck.

They are the devil. -Nolan

Why the fuuuuuuuuck do i even waste my time on these?

Lawl...I made a sick amount of $ with FPP sats today...like $1100-1500, and used a few hundo of my own on the mtt circuit.

i missed two big draws in the mil....tilted off everything after that, kings kept losing to jacks, shit like that all day in the big tournaments...started today with around 1k online and 30k fpp, now I don't have an online roll now since I decided to play everything that had a prize pool of over 5k for the most part, and I really DO NOT want to redeposit.

i'm going to vegas on friday anyways, who gives a shit.

I put way to much pressure on myself today, I think I kinda cracked a tad at the end, but kept my compusure for like 85-92% of the day, just mtt's fucking suck.

started the day getting uber to close to 2 FT's and had them taken away from me...kinda unavoidable situations like ppl shoving 11-13x bb behind 3-4x bb shoves and i have AKhh otb and have them covered. Obv I call, knowing my range is atleast 58-65% vs there range (pp's and AT-AK/QK/QKss/KJss)

So I feel like jumpin off a cliff right now, but I'm sure that'll pass.

Just smoked a fat joint, gonna spend this week working on getting ready for vegas and playing some of the $55's and maybe a few $162's here n there.

I also found out when I play MTT's, if I play more than 4, I do not play efficiently, so, there u go, whenever im focusing on winning big tournies (entries of $11 or more (not sng's)), I'm just going to 4 table and mass note take and play my A+ game instead of roboting 30 tables and needing more luck.

hrm..

I'm stoned as hell, this is a big ramble, I'm kinda wrecked right now.

I have more $ than I have had in a long time ne ways, although its cash now instead of on a cashier.

To be brutally honest, I'm really fucking angry at myself.

I totally failed today.

FAILED TODAY HARD.

I put like 2k+ into mtt's of my own $, figuring I would win atleast $600-$25k.

I'm so delusional sometimes.

I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I II II I I i gotta learn to be fucking selfless and stop starting every sentence with I

ok

FUCK YOU MTTS ON STARS, YOU ARE FUCKING BULLSHIT, YOU'RE WORSE THAN 30 MODELS TEASING ME BY LICKING MY DICK AND NEVER GIVING ME HEAD, FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.



um, so I hope u guys are doing well, I hate tournaments.

Idk, I'll probably give in and put $600-$1200 on and restart grinding at nl25-nl50 and only play tournaments on stakes for now on, I think thats the ONLY LOGICAL thing that I can do in this situation.

oh, devon beat me at hu today for like $500

i'd like to say he ran in pure god mode, but he was one step ahead of me for the first 10-15 mins of the match and won 2-3 bi off me during that time, then he just sucked out one me a couple times and i said fuck it and left since he had all the momentum.

god that was humiliating.

get to share that with everyone here at the lp.

one that im going to say about HU poker, a wise person once told me, when the competetion gets to a high level, everyones at the same level and knows all the same plays, so its just variance....

But how the fuck can u not sit hu vs devon?

Like...I felt a moral obligation to sit and rape and pillage him, and he whooped the shit out of me.

hrm.....

this blog long yet?

So........I started grinding this morning (sunday morning at 4am, I played until 3AM today, 23 Hours)

Oh, I totally got my "satisfaction teddy".

You know what, I learned one thing from this, NEVER EVER fucking spend my own money on MTT's.

psh, thats a lie

i'm sure when im in vegas i'll buy-in to $40-$200 events..

still, thats what I SHOULD DO.

I'm gonna re-read this sober tomorrow, maybe.

I think I should

FUCK YOU TORUNAMENTS

YOU FUCKING SUCK

IHATE ALL YOU UCKING TOURNAMNET DONKS WHO PUT IT IN WITH ZEE GUTSHOT AND OVERCARDS AND HIT EVERYTIME (just search my hh's.......one hand really stick out, its a Q8os bvb, in the bb, in the $109 $100k gntd, ($145k prize pool today), he shoves a dry flop that i paired and runs out AK.

Ok, thats one instance, there was like 4,000.

this game can REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY suck sometimes.

ok.

wanna hear the worst thing about all this?

I ASPIRE TO BE A NL200 6max player and MTT player on all weekends. But these MTT's are fucking spirit breaking, mind boggling luckfests filled with ppl who have no idea how to play logical poker. Its fucking ARGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plan of attack.

monday - watch tv - smoke pot - maybe play a tournament or two, idk, maybe deposit and start grinding again online as well, although a week off should be good for me before my trip (clear my head, get all the stuff I'm going to need for the trip, spend some time w/ some friends, etc)

tue - same










wed - same

thu - same

fri - GO TO VEGAS

trip across the states is gonna be epic. I'm gonna try to get fitshased in a few great cities across the states before getting to vegas, I'll get batteries for my camera and take some sick pics along the way (idk if they will be to the calibur of milkmans/johnnys pics, but they'll be gud

So I did it, I made roughly $23k from MTT's and cashgames, then lost around $5k in mtt's (about 1.3k in makeup, 3.7k my own $)

Cashed out 4 checks that will support my trip to vegas

is this blog long enough yet?

If your still reading this...

THEN U MUST REALLY <3 ME

so get on ur knees...


n get ready for some pearlz


seriously though, I'm just blazed, pissed, feeling strong emotion from poker for the first time in 3-4 months....

Crown, I feel your pain, I'm sitting here and I see your blog that says "I CANNOT WIN"

Meh, I ran like god for 2 months, I had to expect to run like shit eventually.

My discipline is better, but letting myself spend my online roll just cuz I have money in my pocket and can re-deposit is fucking flawed logic and I need to revamp that mindset like, NOW.

OK
