two times what?

Yo what's up dudes.

Well, finals are done and I am graduating this weekend. So I have had time to put some hands in finally. As you can see, the results have not exactly been stellar.



I started off yesterday on a nice heater and then took a break. Came back late last night and decided to take a shot at 600nl since I had the BR for it. Well, it did not go well at all, for the usual reasons (set-ups, suck outs - like this, discomfort with higher stakes/focusing on $ instead of playing well, tilt, etc.), hence the massive downswing. Anyway, I got my shit together after the horrible night and after reviewing my PT sessions from last night and identifying a few leaks, put in a solid few hours this afternoon. Didn't profit all that much, but I feel like I played very well. I also forced myself to focus on playing well instead of profiting, as that was one of the main reasons that my shot at 600nl was unsuccessful. One notable hand was this nice value push against a shortie.

Anyway, family gets here tomorrow, then graduation etc. over the weekend and leaving for Utah on Sunday. This post was entirely too poker-oriented, so here's a picture of one of the worst (read: best) metal bands ever, Helloween. Seriously, you gotta check 'em out.



Peace yo.

What's up bitchazzzzzzzz

So I finally made that goddamned video I mentioned a while back. However, I don't think I'm going to post a link on here, since it is a video of me playing the stakes I'm currently at. But, I do have it hosted, so if you want to download a copy just pm me or whatever and I will most likely send you a link. I play 3 tables of 400nl 6max on stars for about 30 minutes.

I'd also be willing to make more if people wanted - it was kind of a fun experience. Hopefully I'll get some good constructive criticism and not just "you raised 69s utg wtf?" etc. But, if somebody wanted me to make a video of a particular stakes or whatever I'd probably be down.

Played some Sunday tourneys today. Did horribly in all of them...stupid donkaments. I have been playing strictly ring games for so long that I have very little clue how to play tourneys. It just reminded me how much I dislike them.

Anyway, I've been wicked busy recently. School is almost over and I am pumped to have the summer mostly free to travel and play poker. I should be able to get in at least a couple sessions this week after my finals on Tuesday, and then it's off to beautiful Utah for 10ish days of rock climbing and mountain biking. Here's a picture of Moab, where we will spend at least one day riding:

Alright, well it seems this is necessary.

FrinkX doesn't seem to think that I have a roll or the ability to play 400nl, so I decided to clarify a few things.

The stats below are NOT all the hands I have played - that is just the past 1.5 months or so (obviously I don't have time to play a lot). I have played around 60k hands since I got PT about 6 months ago.

I did NOT win some MTT and decide to flush my roll at 400nl. I did indeed grind up from 10NL, and have experienced downswings, moved down in stakes, etc. (as mentioned in my first post).

And LOL - I said "SHIP" in that hand because I was happy with my read, not because it was some huge pot. geez...double LOL

You took offense when someone suggested that you like to berate people - but I have a hard time believing that your concern was genuine and in my best interests. If so, thanks.

In other news, I'm still trying to find time to get in a short session and make a video. To leave you with something entertaining, here's a stupid picture of a cat. Cheers!

Hello LP

Well, in my last post, I spoke of a video that was made by LP's own Big Balls (Daut) when he was playing mid-stakes FR. This video really opened my eyes to a lot of important concepts of NLHE, and somebody asked me if it was still available. So, since you ingrates are incapable of using the search feature, I have generously found the thread for you:

His balls are oh so big

Also, KingKory has requested that I make a video, so I will probably try to make one the next time I play and post it on here. I will most likely play 400nl 6max, but I could also do FR or lower stakes if people want. Post comments if you have a preference.

Beat: I don't have time to play much.
Brag: I've been running pretty well recently.

Hello LPers

I'm both pleased and saddened to welcome you to my blog; saddened because such a welcome implies that I do indeed (now) HAVE a blog, which is itself a somewhat disappointing thought. But I'm a hypocrite, so fuck it.

I figure I'll write the standard "here's my story" story, cuz everyone seems to love those. So, okay...

Started playing poker online last summer (06) after I met Day9 (and a mutual friend) at the college where I was researching over the summer. Played recreationally with mixed results during the summer and early fall. I tried to stop playing many times and focus on school, but inevitably I ended up back on this goddamn website looking at hands, reading threads, etc. It was actually BigBalls' 2/4 FR video that inspired me to get serious about poker, as it totally blew my mind the way he played a LAG, highly position-dependent style of play. From there I started (way under-rolled, of course) playing NL25 and became fairly successful.

I ran hot as fuck and was playing 600NL FR by a few months ago (using what some would consider poor bankroll management). Then, I hit a cold spell and cashed out most of my roll to buy a truck. I started over at 100NL about 2 months ago and I'm currently playing 400NL 6max.

I don't have PT on this computer so I can't post stats or graphs. Maybe next time. For now, here's some hands from my session last night:

Such a silly overbet.

I submitted this one as HOTW, which raszi quickly proceeded to call "standard". definitely NOT a standard call for me, so I'll take it as a compliment.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180281 - yup


On a side note, I just bought a new bike yesterday. It felt a little weird to spend $1k in a day and make it all back (+ profit) that evening. I'm still not totally used to mid-stakes profit, I guess. Anywho, here's a pic to liven this dull post up:



Ain't she sexy?
