Marshall28's blog

so i played it for the first time yesterday and thought it was great. tried to do a little research to find out what strategy is out there for it. it's definitely a game heavily reliant on math. it's a game that im sure by knowing basic strategy you can find some edges on opponents, but, i doubt anybody playing it at a high level would be doing anything but tons and tons of math.

.....


i just spent like 30 minutes typing up a bunch of the strategy i came up with, then i realized, why should i just give this stuff away to people who havent earned it.

i think i have some decent basic strategy that probably encompasses several variables that i don't think most people will be taking into consideration.

those of you who have played, list some of the things you've picked up ... as you guys release information, and i deem it's valuable, i'll release information. it could be a win-win.

if not .. oh well ... no other way to get good at new games than to start talking/thinking about them.

I'm gonna call it a year being +18k for the month so far in December. I can't complain at all since I really only played about 15 hours of poker. Locking in this win and not playing anymore until January. For the first time in my poker career, that puts me at winning >$200k winner over the course of the year.

It makes it that much better when the reality is that I didn't even start playing this year until June of 2012, and that a good chunk of my volume was at 2/4 up until early September. I think a reasonable goal for next year should be $500k. Gonna depend mostly on how much volume I put in, but I think as long as nothing happens to poker (nothing of black friday status), it's a reachable goal.

I had a request that I write a bio of my career since I started back in late 2007, if more would be interested in that, you need to voice your opinion. As of now I felt like I didn't really wanna put the time into it, but if enough people showed interest I might consider it.

Pokernews seemed to have made a big deal out of my most recent video series for cardrunners. During the series I moved down to 50nl and made three videos at 50nl, 100nl, and 200nl showcasing the differences between the stakes and what the guys at each stake were doing wrong. I definitely think it was one of my best video series, maybe my best--even though it only showed a few of the things I am doing today in my game it should still be very helpful for those at any of those levels. I figured that since those videos were making the news, and that quite a few players have been looking at the cardrunners forums only to see what strategy advice I am posting, it might be a good idea for me to make my own website. If I do end up making my own site where I give advice on hands, the 'marshall28 bio' would be the first post I make for the site.

Finally my Samsung 305t is crapping out. The thing just flickers dark shadows whenever I turn it on now so I just disconnected it and am playing only on my 24" LG. The resolution is not very good and I can't really fit more than 4-6 tables on there comfortably.

I need to get a new setup. I looked at the 30" monitors available and they all seem to be >$900. I don't think it's worth it to spend that much money just to get an extra 3 inches when the 27's are significantly cheaper. I've never played on a 27 before though. Do you guys have any experience doing so? If you have, which monitors would you recommend? I'm thinking about getting 2 27s.

Another month is pretty much in the books now. Finished November +44,663.
Don't feel exactly satisfied though because I was up ~55k 2 weeks into the month. This has happened to me twice before where I get up big the first two weeks, roughly somewhere around 50k, then nothing seems to go right. I felt like I didn't run that well considering I lost 3 or 4 pots at 10/20 for 4k where I got 2 outed on the river then also couldn't seem to win any pots AIPF where I was a favorite. I dropped like 16k on the 15th of the month. I definitely didn't play well that session, but I was motivated to win it back. Took a 30 minute break, then spent the following 8 hours grinding trying to get back to even and finished +3k.

After that I was just kind of sour on continuing to put in much volume. I talked to a friend about it, he said I have complacency tilt. Can't exactly disagree. I've never had a month better than 55k but I've had multiple months where I am up that much 2 weeks into it. I'm not a greedy person though. I don't exactly need all that money. Sorta strange I actually feel broke right now especially considering I only spent 7k this month. Probably because it takes forever to get my money off these sites. Have like 40k in limbo right now that's neither in my bank or in my bankroll. So really haven't been playing the last two weeks.

One weird thing I've seemed to have been noticing lately is more and more people who are claiming the games are too difficult now and that it's incredibly hard to win. I really don't agree at all. My game has become even more robotic in the last few months than it has ever been before. I have all of the spots memorized. I haven't even been working away from the tables hardly at all. I just have set ranges for every spot and I play them all the same way. I don't even adjust for player tendencies and I've been consistently having 30k+ months for the last 4 months putting in roughly 15 hours a week. And I'm really not THAT good.

Been trying to find a new coach but can't really seem to find anyone who is both capable and willing to do so. I looked into some guys who were really successful at high stakes games 12-24 months ago, but many of them are struggling now and are not even playing as high as I am regularly. I tried asking Sauce and Ben86, neither said they were currently coaching. I heard something about Jungleman charging 1200/hr but that's a little more than I want to pay and I'm mostly looking for someone to work with me on my 6max game--don't even know if he plays 6max at all.

I'm heading back up to the bay area in two days to go catch a couple of Golden State Warriors games with a friend. 400 bucks got courtside seats so that's pretty cool. I expect I won't be playing much for the next couple of days at least. Anyways, promised myself I would no longer talk about personal issues in my blog. So I guess that's it for now.

How frequently I am doubted. This is what happened to the last guy that called me out and tried to claim I am all talk and no walk. I even warned him before this whole thing started that getting into this would turn out bad for him.



About 2100bb's I won? That's all at 3/6 so that's a little shy of 13k. Including the 5k side bet we made, so that's a total of roughly 18k I took off him...almost 2 dollars per hand.

Anybody else have something to say?

So ... ~8k + ~16k + ~3k + ~6k from zach = ~33k? Almost as good as last month ... Now only If I could just get in more than 40 hours.

So I guess I'm keeping a blog both here and on cardrunners now. Some things I post here that I don't post there and vice versa, some things I post in both, I felt this one would be okay for both. You guys always respond with a lot more brutal honesty which I like and this is one of my more personal posts.

So a few nights ago I went out with a couple of friends for one of their birthday's to a bar a few miles down the road. We were drinking and just hanging out for a while until one of their other friends showed up. I had met this dude one time before and he acted pretty much like dick to me, but I'm the type of person to just let things slide and give the other person the benefit of the doubt, probably they were having a bad day, or maybe they misinterpreted something I did or said. It's not like I have a lot of stress in my life, but I know a lot of other people do, so I just try to let it slide.

One thing about me though and I've always said this/felt like this. It's not any of my business whether or not people like me, but it is my business if they disrespect me. So I ignored the comment from him the previous night, but this time I meet him, he sits across from me at the table and he doesn't say anything specific to me, but his mannerisms and body language all point towards being disrespectful to me. Not only that, but he starts trying to like test me, by trying to shake my hand multiple times, then holding on to it longer and stronger to see if I'm going to let him control me or whatever. It was my good friend's birthday so I definitely was trying to do everything I could to not make a scene and to avoid getting into it with this guy.

He gets closer, and starts talking right into my ear, he starts getting louder. What is he talking about? I really wasn't even listening, but it had something to do with the fact that I had just moved into the apartment he had wanted and that he was pissed at me because I had it and he didn't. Clearly this dude is about as petty as it gets. I walk away, I go to the bathroom, I walk around expecting the guy to leave, he doesn't and maybe 15 minutes go by, I hope things have calmed down by now so I go and sit at the table again. He's changed seats and is next to my buddy and the seat next to his girl is open so I take that one.

Immediately he gets out of his chair and starts putting his hands on me being real loud about how that seat is taken. I make a very clear gesture with my head turning to look where he's putting his hands making sure he realizes I know what's going on, I then look him directly in the eye, "Listen very carefully," I exhale, "You don't know me. If you did, I guarantee you wouldn't be talking to me like this." All of a sudden he backs away and begins apologizing multiple times. No longer will he make eye contact and starts talking about how he didn't mean what he was saying and that he was just jealous.

I am kinda surprised how many people allow jealousy to control them and drive them to act in certain ways. Personally, I can't even remember ever feeling jealous of anyone about anything for any reason. It feels to me more like a deficiency in a character trait. Like what does it really mean to be jealous? Basically, I assume, it's a feeling you get when there's something you want that someone else has. Upon deeper examination, the next question you should ask yourself is, why aren't you able to obtain that thing? And if the answer is anything other than 'it's not what I REALLY wanted' I guess that's what triggers these feelings in people.

This is a limitation of the mind though, like, what makes me able to obtain things that other people want? I believe I am worthy of them, I think outside the box about how to get it, I control my emotions and don't let them get in the way of obtaining it. From when I was very young my Mom always taught me "never let them see you sweat". I guess it's a lesson I took very strongly to heart because I mask my emotions extremely well--I know I've had some outbursts in online forums due to a bad mental response to certain drugs, but if you know me IRL it's very hard to get any kind of read on me or to ever know when I'm being serious or joking.

Are there things that I would like to have that I see other people have? Absolutely. Maybe this is just the way I experience jealousy and it's different for me than most people, but for me it's like, I ask myself the question, why don't I have that thing? Then I figure out what is it that's allowed that person to achieve that success, and if I feel like I want it, I set out to do whatever it is that other person does. If the things he had to do to attain that goal are outside of all the steps I feel I'd want to bother to take, then I just let it go and realize--it's not worth the trouble, and things are good enough for me that I don't really need to go through all that, and after coming to that conclusion, it just doesn't affect me. I notice even people who have it so much better than me often are jealous of me. It's kinda strange.

It's so hard for me to relate to people like that. Personally, I'm extremely introspective and contemplative of the world around me. If that's combined with a fairly insightful brain, I feel like almost always you are going to come across a person who has quite a depressive nature. I find all the time people I come across feel jealous of me, the thing is though ... I'm probably one of the more miserable people I know.

Personally, if I had to feel jealous of all the people around me who had a bigger place, a nicer car, a bigger bank account, a better looking girlfriend; I'd go insane and be frustrated all day long. It just makes me wonder, if I feel so miserable, how bad must some of these other people have it? Whenever I think about this stuff, it makes me think about celebrities. I feel like celebrities must have it really rough. Enough money to buy anything they want, idolized by many generally for no good particular reason, recognized everywhere they go. On the surface it seems like it would be awesome, but really, I think they are likely to be even more miserable than most of us 'normal' people. Why else do so many of them turn to drugs? I guess those are the types of people I feel I can relate to the most, celebrities.

Maybe that's part of why I am the way I am, because really, it's not like I don't know that there are things I do that incite these feelings of jealousy in the people around me. A lot of it is on purpose. Maybe I do it because I have deeper issues and in order to satisfy those needs I manipulate others to feel that way about me so that I can feel better about myself. I don't know, I'm just sort of thinking out loud as I type now, I guess you are getting a little peak into my mind and the way it works. Even if what I just said is true (which I have no idea if it is or if it isn't), I feel that anyone who would allow me to manipulate them like that is obviously a much weaker person by nature. The more weak minded a person is, the worse off they must be in life. Constantly controlled by the will of others, unable to let themselves be heard. Forced to be the way their "friends" or society tells them to. I can't imagine anything worse than that--there are some things I can understand why people would want to be that way, but this is not one of them; I don't think anyone who is like that is happy. It's weird I guess because in general I'm very introverted and keep to myself a lot, but at the same time, I have a lot of alpha/dominant traits. I'm definitely very glad for these things because even though they clearly are the cause of a lot of my internal struggles, without that ability to lead I'd feel completely lost. I guess this means that the more control I'm able to exert over my surroundings the more respect I receive from others, and the better I generally feel. This is something I must keep reminding myself.

I guess one of the lessons I should try to be taking from this is that achieving "things" is less about actually obtaining the success and more about the journey you take to get there and what type of person you become over the course of those journeys. Character isn't really built from succeeding, it's built from failing--this is definitely one of the reasons you see so many "hot shot" young poker players--and also why you see a lot of these known HS pros turn to cheating. They think they are "better" than everybody else, they think they are above common rules of society, just because they are good at some game that involves money. I was guilty of feeling like that maybe 3-4 years ago. I mean, I never turned to the point of cheating. When I struggled, I got help from a few friends, people who I will always remain loyal to and will pay back 10x over if I can. There aren't too many people in the world who are just genuine about helping another when in a bind, so I always remember those who have helped me and they are the types of friends I want to keep for life. I'm having a lot more success now, so in retrospect I'd say that was a good thing that I did have to do quite a bit of struggling before reaching the point I'm at. It's definitely made me a better person. Hasn't done anything really to make me a happy one though.

I noticed you guys were asking me to post the big hands from the match with Zach. We played our 2nd session on the 6th, which was a little over a week ago. I hadn't slept in about 2 days and was pretty drunk, but it still seemed okay for me to play him. I felt like he played significantly better this time than the previous two, I would be very surprised if he hadn't gotten any help. Maybe I was too out of it to realize though and was just playing bad ... I definitely made some HUGE mistakes that I don't generally make. I ended this session up 1k so despite punting off a couple of stacks and getting coolered for 160bb his AA to my KK ...guess it's not that bad of a result.
have been doing really well in poker last 2 months. even with that big 36k downer right in the middle of it, still up a lot and making more than i ever have in my career. moved into my beach house like 4 or 5 days ago and it's pretty much been crazy here ever since.

Anyways ... here were the significant hands:

So my heads up challenge versus Zachvac started today. For those of you who aren't aware of the situation, here's a link to what's going on....

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/58/...rshall28-vs-zachvac-hu4rollz-1229479/

It's a lot to read so I can just provide a short synopsis here. Basically, he called me out (like so many others have in the past) claiming that I was a losing player, that I was cheating people by over-charging for coaching that I wasn't qualified to be giving and that he would destroy me in a HU battle.

It's not like me to accept a challenge like this or to ever challenge anybody else for some kind of HU duel scenario, but what this guy did was way way over the line. And if you know me at all, it's not in my nature to back down against someone making such accusations, and I always got a chip on my shoulder as if I have to constantly prove myself.

So we are playing 10,000 hands HU @ 3/6NL. We escrowed 5k each -- with whoever being up at the end of the match winning the side bet while still keeping any other profits earned during the match.

Today we played ~400 hands and I finished up ~2400. That was the first session of our official challenge but the second session we've played. I'm up on him about 5k in less than 1k hands over the two times I have played him HU.

Based on what I think about this guy's play, he's in way over his head, he could drop an additional 20k to me over these 10k hands in addition to the 5k side bet. I'm feeling very confident.

Okay so I finally made a twitter account. I'm going to tweet when the matches are being played for whoever wants to rail it. You guys can follow me there @PeterJennings28.
