the Poker World

That being said, LP is very critical of coaching in general. I think that's because coaching doesn't help a lot of people. In fact, I was talking this over with my old coach groupies the other day and apparently I'm the only one that got anything out of the coaching deal. My other groupies said that their game got worse because of the coaching (lol), but I still attribute that to them not being as open to it as others. But in general, coaching is not for everyone.

And with that being said, yeah... coaching is still open to anyone who wants it. I'll post graphs later I'm going to e-mail Pstars and FTP to get lifetime graphs.

I was thinking about it for a while and I think I want to coach people. Mainly not for money, but for my own benefit in thinking out my own poker process.

That being said, I think I can offer anyone from 5nl-50nl some really solid advice on how to improve from those stakes and have the right poker mindset to climb mount robusto.

Given that it's my first teaching lessons ever, I guess I should charge like ~$35/hr and $150 for 5 hours. So give me a PM if you're interested.

I dunno, that seems to be really cheap haha, but I guess I should start somewhere. XD

nl200 is going well for me, up ~900, but most of that has been run good and crushing fish. I spewed $200 playing the 7-game, which really made me realize that I'm terribad at stud games other than razz.

I'm also a huge fish at PLO, but don't tell anyone. I randomly splash around nl25 and nl50 PLO games sometimes for fun. Apparently I'm a lifetime winner at PLO.

Run good guys. (i'm mostly recovered from my deathly illness)

Today I took my first few shots at nl200. I put in my money good in some spots and ran up 2.5BI, but then started spewing off money and decided to quit my session around break even. Overall, I definitely feel that 1/2 prob. has more fish, and overall it's beatable but the regs are definitely more aggressive than at .5/1.

Seeing as it the first time I've ever played nl200, I think I have a good mindset to move up into it. I currently have 20 BI for nl200 and I'm going to take a 3 BI shot at it, if I don't do well, then I'm going to regrind nl100 for a while. But overall, I really want to go straight to the top. It's going to be a lot of hard work, and I probably won't be able to put in the hours this month since I'm going to be going out a lot, but next month in July, I'm going to head straight to the top.

Here are some graphs of my rungood

I'm currently in china. I put in 600 into pstars a while ago, but ran bad/ on tilt and ended up withdrawing the remaining 400 because i thought i was spewing too hard. That was all the poker i played for May.

But now its June and I'm taking a vacation in china. I deposited 600 on FTP 5 days ago and now its apparently a good roll. I'm playing nl100 with relative ease and hoping to move up through the ranks. I don't really need to withdraw, so hopefully I can get to nl200 by the end of this month or so. aim high for the sky.

yall want graphs, but ur not getting any. just know that rush poker is really sick ez game. i don't play rush anymore, but its really addicting, but i find that i have like no edge at it lol.

today is my last day of college, and also the 2nd to last day of my coaching/staking deal.

I've def. grown a lot as a person over these past 4 years and its time for me to move on with life.

That being said, i have a final in 10 minutes and class is 20 minutes away. <_< meh, i'll get by.

I'll put in some hands in july, prob. not gonna get any hands in in june and i'll try to put in hands in may.

My plan is as follows: +10 BI at nl50, move up to nl100, +20 BI at 100 move to nl200, +50BI at nl200 move to nl400. no withdrawing from poker from now on as I prob. don't need the money anyways.

run good everyone.

Attached is my laptop graph for nl100 this month so far. My desktop graph is like 17k hands of +4BI poker, so my overall winrate over 25k hands is more like 2500 for the month so far. But overall, my game has improved tremendously. I def. feel like I understand poker at a deeper level and can crush people at my stakes right now. I really love the coaching program as my coach is really wise and teaches what I need to know to get better. Overall, I'm life +EV and poker +EV at the same time, so it's def. been an awesome year so far.

I'm on track to make a nice 5k month, and maybe move up to 1/2 next month or so. I hope I continue the improvements and fix some megaleaks that I have. Pounding on regs is also a really fun thing as well. Wish me luck guys!

recent posts on lp have been really bad. somehow we have all these brag posts and dumb threads on the low stakes poker place when they are clogging up good stuff.

Come on LP! get rid of all these useless threads!

I'm not planning on playing anymore today, but maybe a little more nl50 for the rest of the day, but the first week of poker has been really good for me. I'm not going for SNE unless I reach 3/6 by april because 24 tabing nl100-200 just doesn't seem that fun or cool. Wish me luck!

I was reflecting back and after reading the Nadeem scamming someone I realized that LP is a really good place. Compared to 2p2 and other places, LP seems to have an awesome small community feel that is just really good for development and longterm life +EV.

Well, most of you like pics, so here is my first week. Hopefully I can continue to run like god and move up to nl100. (Last 1k hands are nl100, but I gotta move back down until next week due to coaching).

Okay, so 2009 was my first year of serious poker. I made around 10k profit and went up to almost nl100 ish times before tilting hard in November and not playing in December.

I sadly lost 500 in Vegas on New Years =(.

But overall, my first year in poker has gone by really well. I feel like I understand a lot of hand ranges, and I can totally feel like I can crush nl50 and play nl100 well.

I started the staking + coaching deal, and so far the coach has been really helpful =). I def. learned a lot and I'm definitely a lot more fearless than before.

Here is January so far and hopefully I'll put in a good amount of hands in the future as well.
