Today I'm a SAD Dusty. Sad Dusty only appears when Dusty fails to do something he feel he should be able to do. Serious cases of Sad Dusty has been known to be caused by driver's license tests, whiskey dick and big downswings. Todays case is only slight since I'm still up more then my parents makes in a month so far in july, and mostly appeared because I'm a big EMOfag when it comes to losing days. Talking to PplusAD makes me feel better. Now I'll listen to the grateful dead and watch Family Guy until I'm happy enough to go to sleep.

Also, made a vid. I think this link works: http://www.megaupload.com/se/?d=6NQ6CAIF

So yea, can't wait till' tomorrow, tomorrow she goes away...



If you ad some donkament scores for like 10k USD, a tiny profit in omaha and a really good rakeback deal this month has turned into my best one ever.

So obviously june was a pretty good month. I've played like 10k hands on limits higher then 3/6 and with some table selection I really feel I've got an edge. Most of the regs are kinda retarded and I just keep away from the others. There's like 2 or 3 LPers I try not to mess to much with and like 3 other regs of which at least 2 plays 10/20 and 25/50 pretty regularly and I figured I'd keep away from them too. The rest of them seems to be bad nits, total spewtards or just random TAGfish which is great of course. I've also exprimented a lot with really, really light 3-betting in position and some new things in 3-bet pots which has worked out wonderfully and overall I guess I'm quite happy with my game right now, even though I obviously always try to improve. I've actually rewatched a lot of really good CR- and Leggo videos and I think that has helped a lot too.

Winning donkaments and getting deep in them has been really fun. I'd like to say thanks once again to everyone who railed me during my two final tables this month. Really good stuff. I feel that my tournament game is pretty decent vs the somewhat retarded fields of players that populate the prima MTT's. I guess watching CR-vids for fun pays of in the long run.

I've had a couple of bad days and session where I've lost a shitload of buyins but I haven't really tilted much at all. I know everyone says that, but I think it's mostly because no one really “admits” to themselves that they're tilting. However, I've really felt something new this month. Except for one two or three occasions, which was kinda partly triggered of outside of poker factors, I've never really felt angry or anything at the tables. I've just figured that it was either standard and kinda bound to happen or I've seen that someone had fucked up badly and gotten it in very bad against me and felt kinda proud that I played good, even though the results didn't show short term. I think this has a lot too do with me winning a fair bit in the beginning of the month and for the first time in like a year actually playing somewhat within my bankroll AND on limits I actually care about. Now I'm telling myself something like; "Ok, he tried to give me money but he failed. Let him keep trying".

I've always been somewhat inclined to get better at things I really like, of which poker is one, and I'm sure I'll try to get higher eventually, but fortunately for me I'm also really, really lazy with things I find boring and I really don't feel like splitting my roll searching for action and there are just not enough games running on prima higher then 5/10 for me to be interested during the foreseeable future. If I can maintain a decent winrate over like 100k hands or so I might look in too it but otherwise I don't think I'll go on any adventures. I really start to feel how this game might have a pretty big impact on my financial future and it feels really good. I really hope I can stay on top of my game for the rest of the summer and make a lot of money. I'm going for a personal wealth of a million SEK (like 150k USD) before I turn 22 next spring and I think I'll make it pretty easely. More then halfway there and I spent the bigger part of last year and this spring fucking around with too much alcohol and too little discipline.

I've also started taking daily 1.5 hour walks and such, which is kinda boring from time to time, but I lose some weight I gained during the winter and even though it kinda tires me now I feel that it'll give me more energy long term.

So I think this is my biggest day so far, not 100% sure but whatever. This also put me over my earlier record for profit in a month.

Ok so I'll write out the background first and the question is basicly at the botton for those of you to lazy to read my rant/brag/whatever.

So yesterday I decided to play a random donkament, prima's daily 30k grtd, since I felt like fucking around a bit and I tend to run infinitly good in that one (can't play donkaments for shit, still won it like 2 weeks ago and have gotten ITM like 2-3 times more so far this spring despite not playing it much). Anyway, some retarded tournament reg plays some hand where he valuebets top2 on the flop and the turn and then c/cs a decent sized bet on the river when the flush hit and the other dude had hit it. The retarded reg decides to berate the fish or w/e he was and I obviously got to the fish defense and started trashtalking the reg cause I feel that bad regs tend to tilt when you do that and I also hate it when people tell fish that the fish plays bad. Anyway, the reg gets mad and later limps in ep pretty deep, I limp behind with 76s and the flop comes 29Tss for a gutshot+fd for me. Retarded reg bets out pretty big in like a 4 or 5way pot and I raise him, we get it in and he has kings. Obviously I win the flip cause I run good. Thrash talk ensures and I obviously says that if he really thinks I'm a retarded monkey he can play me HU. He declines and continues to ”rail” me, comment on every suckout and play I make and I just asks him if he's still interested in HU. This continues for like 2 hours. Some other retard starts berating me too (I think I played NL20 with him 2 years ago or something lol, probably has a grunge) and I asks him for HU too. A couple of epic suckouts later, which everyone comments on, and a couple of bad beats, which no one seems to notice, I've got like 3-4 people constantly arguing with me in the chat but still no one wants to play me HU. This makes me very sad cause I feel that it would increase my happiness a lot if I could bust some stupid fish-berating faggot once on a while.

My question is thus; how do you best go about tilting people enough so that they'll play you HU, preferably far above their roll?

On an unrelated note I'd like to state that grocery shopping is very overrated and I tend to agree with what Good2Cu said in his episode of Hight Stakes Living about how you can't gamble in the grocery shop so you should try to keep away.

So like, everything included I think I'm up like 12k € so far this month. Mostly at 3/6 and 5/10 and due to that donkament victory. Then this happened: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/467961

Now I'm sure the gods doesn't like my playing 5/10 anymore for a while so I'll just grind 1/2 and maybe 2/4-3/6 depending on tables a couple of days, spend the weekend partying with a friend and then maybe get back into higher games. A solid winning month would really help my confidence and it would obviously be a great start on the summer. Overall I'm pretty happy with myself right now, even though I lost like 200€ or so today despite being up like 2k before everything went to shit. I actually had a "aha"-moment or two and I feel that those are really valuable long term.

I think I'm still maybe a bit too shy with bluffing in "obvious" spots and I need to sometimes go more with my gut feeling cause right now I feel that I sometimes get outleveled a fair bit when I go with the "he did X then so he probably does it again" rather then actually do what feels right. I think I've developed fairly good instincts and I should probably try to use them a bit more.

This month goes kinda decent, except that I lost a couple of BI's more then expected today but that shit happens. Now that I'm home with my parents over the summer I'll play a shitload and work out a lot. I'm out of shape like hell, so I need fix that asap. I'll try to play like 3k hands/day at least 5 days/week and also play a lot of MTT's. I feel that it's easier for me to play long sessions with like 4-5 cash tables and then some stupid ass donkament. Also, I've discovered Die Toten Hosen. They've got some really good songs and everything gets a bit more fun when someone tries to be serious while talking kraut-language.

It's so good that I'll cheer for Germany as soon as Sweden is out of that silly soccer donkament.
