microstakes adventures
whamm!, Apr 07 2008
took a break from poker and went back to my microstakes roots. 24 tabling 25nl is fun when you have a big ass monitor so ive noticed. my decisions for every table are more clear and final, no more robotic hand reflex then shout omg after hehe. ptracker kinda fucked me up with my gay vista os installed in my new comp, so results here fall kind of short. im planning on making this month my sickest in terms of heaters in 25nl, i hope the doomswitch is turned off now so i can proceed to 100nl shortly after. i think i made like 10bi today though...

btw: does anyone know why i have like a 5 digit spacing in my pokertracker? im using vista starter(puke)
tripaments
whamm!, Apr 02 2008
The whole trip was fun and it kinda destressed me a bit, didnt think about poker the whole time at all. also didnt bring my laptop coz i heard that the whole island might not have internet. taking a vacation def helps better than moving down stakes or taking breaks and always seeing the computer and internet. met an american UB player there saying he was a high stakes player at UB,kept asking what his nick was and it didnt ring a bell at all, asked him if he had a a cr or deucescracked membership and about ptracker and pokerace, stuff even noobs know, he didnt have a clue LOL standart. its good that my friend stole his to-go ham and cheese sandwiches just for lying to us lolol
poker-wise my br has jumped from 750 to 1500 in a week playing mostly 25nl then moved up aggressively at 20bi to 50nl and so far its still swingy but im beginning to pwn 50nl as well, which is good coz ive never ran good at this limit at stars, when i reach 2200, ill be taking my shot at 100nl again prolly 18 tabling, just move down if i drop 4bi.
i wanna reach 200nl by june so baaad and although my last cashout hurt my roll a bit, i feel this time im def more aggressive with br management, since ive already been to 100nl comfortably before, and yes, fattening up too much on one limit really does retard one's progress, coz you can never really be to safe with br management once paranoia sets in and the money aspect gets to you. imho, 400nl is the limit where one should really have like 50bi or more coz of all the good players that play there. i still have around 4k of my roll in the bank which i plan to redeposit to moneybookers tomorrow just in case i wanna jump into 100nl instead of waiting more. ill just keep it there.
going on a surfing trip with women without getting laid is like getting set with your slowplayed jj in position and getting zero action - it hurts lol
gtg and grind some more peace guys and goodluck 
cashing out it goot
whamm!, Mar 26 2008
i just cashed out half my roll to pay for stuff and just get some money for myself. i feel pretty good about it and have no regrets about it now that i actually have the money in bank. going on a surfing trip tomorrow with some ppl to get away from poker for awhile and do some thinking and also have some fun and watch some of the girls im with wear bikinis ( i was thinking to add "... wear bikinis and shit.." LOL) i havent been there before but tokeweed said it was a good place to hang loose and have fun. it's a loooong as trip but i hope itll be worth it though. i just feel bad asking permission from my wife and now that she's agreed to allow me to go, i feel kinda guilty about it - for like 1 minute. 
jeez im such a perv about this. hehe
microstakes adventure begins
whamm!, Mar 24 2008
hahay. this month is terrible. so terrible that i was just forced to move down and play microstakes for a while just till i get that winning mindset again. the funny thing is, when your on a downswing, it really doesnt matter what limit you play, it'll just come to haunt you. and it did,for me, couldnt tear 25nl tables like before last two weeks, and my thoughts just got even worse than ever. today was a little different though, partly coz, some of my life tilt issues outside of poker were kind of fixed already and i felt ready today to take on online poker once again. went up 10bi on 25nl and it felt pretty good. so my deposit on ps which is around 750 is now almost 1120, im planning to get it up to around 3k this month if i can. then jump right back to 100nl or 200nl by redepositing my roll, if ever i do get to that point.i got 2k more to go, gotta go peace.
still running hot noh?
whamm!, Mar 20 2008
trying to cool off my downswing by playing microstakes...all in all im still up 150 with my microstakes adventure after 3 days. but i think i should have around 400 by now if it weren't for a lot of these hands, which are unfortunately too many to post here. these are the ones i found so far...
"hmm... 98 suited from the blinds,ez repop? nah ill just flat."

back to grindin...
whamm!, Mar 17 2008
sup ive been running like shit as i've said before. really tilted me a ton and was at the brink of cashing out and moving sites, ballin with some shit purchase or just simply getting lee's monies for fucking with me for the past two weeks. it isnt easy at all, even if this is not the first time i've been in such a sick downswing. so i went back to my old formula for building my br after dropping a bi at 200nl last nite. play 100nl/50nl/25nl everyday and progress to 200/100/50nl as i move up. last nite's session went pretty well. winning on all 3 levels except 200nl, so things are running way better aside from the occassional suckouts (which ive come to get used to after 2 weeks). here are my results for today:

i hope things will get back to normal after today's session, coz frankly i think im still a little mindfucked about the whole downswing, ill keep playing like i did before and see what happens, if things turn up well, im sticking with my old gay self lolol
finally taking my shot...
whamm!, Mar 16 2008
taking my shot at 200nl now and at this point i think i have to give it a try again. br isnt sick rolled but definitely rolled enough. starting to feel good again and i need the pain. lolol. wish me luck and good luck to you guys too ill be posting results whatever it is, as long as it's good haha
ive given up 24 tabling for now until i reach a solid 70bi roll
still nothing. but feeling a little better
whamm!, Mar 12 2008
well the past two weeks have been terrible. i think my mindset has a lot to do with it, running like horse shit doesnt help, but i feel ive recovered psychologically more than the the money lost. im still just happy it hasnt totally destroyed my BR, coz god knows how hard i tried to keep from tilting and keep on playing at 100 or 200nl. damage control has been great though, ive limited losses to around 14 or less BI after almost two weeks of running into ridiculously setup scenarios, and surefire tilt suckouts. ive thought of moving to another site, but bah, that doesnt really help me in my current state of mind. well tomorrow im redepositing at pokerstars and playing back at 100nl where i really belong. im still overrolled for it, and i thank god im such a BR nit for that. well tomorrow's another day. wish me luck and goodluck to all you guys too. peace. 
the good news tho is that im close to 60k vpp. so my target of making supernova by end of april is still on. how i would just love to reach that and take it easy the rest of the year, coz ive never really gotten to supernova, i usually moved sites after running bad at stars.
bad ruuuuuuuun
whamm!, Mar 06 2008
ive kept from blogging until i ran better. but since its still not happening, i guess ill just post another inane insignificant vent.
things are really bad lately, keep running into the nuts, the only time i ever made a read on a player pf and 4bet shove "praire hawk", i run into ak vs aa and flop a k x. (lol)
so ive decided to move down, pwn 50nl for a while then move up to 100nl briefly at 12k, then move up to 200nl at 14k when i get more confidence with how i run, not with my game, coz honestly, i know i can play 200nl already with decent success, but i just dont wanna further mindfuck myself by getting terrible results there and playing well, coz i have this fancy play sickness whenever that happens and try all sorts of new and stupid shit. so to keep my sanity, i feel moving down and building "confidence" is best for me. im sick rolled for 100nl but being gay rolled for 50nl is just waaay better. peace
change of plans T.T
whamm!, Mar 02 2008
march is kinda rough now. had a lot of terrible suckouts esp with my sets and get it in on fop vs fd, overpairs and shove obv draw on turn and hit their flush,hit qqq on turn only to get quadded by jacks on river, shit like that. this has got me thinking to kinda postpone my plans of moving up and try pwning first the current limit im in, then fattening up before going to 200nl. i now want a good winrate, like 5 to 6ptbb, and play like 2 to 3k hands a day tops, maybe 20 tabling, coz i get better results rather than 24 tabling i dunno why. im also thinking of putting money on another site with rakeback, coz i know im really missing out on things if i dont. im thinking of ftp and 18 tabling there, but the lag just tilts the hell out of me. i hit 11k plus last night and was really heading towards 12k by monday but since i ran terrible today i change my mind. i also am thinking of starting to withdraw 1k a month for expenses on a regular basis starting next month, won at the casinos the other nite like 400usd which isnt bad in my country, and bought a psp coz my kinds wanted one and i thought, "heh this is gambling money" and went straight to the mall the ff day and bought one. gtg now and do some mcluvinnnnnnn lol
peace and goodluck to all here at lp
i also hate 200nl now that lostaccount is there and he'll be like outplaying me on like 12 of my 22 tables argh
here's my graph for ppl to laugh at lol
