Hi all
yesterday my biggest RL friend ever ( i know him for 8 years now and were close to feeling like brothers from what weve gone trhough together) had his 23 birthday.

was just a small party with some good friends and we drunk tons of alcohol , whatched some DVDs , and talked about life and goals and stuff while ocassionally interrupting the high quality philosophy stuff for rounds of wild naked dancing.
( we were really really drunk and started dancing rounds without any reason whenever someone said something that was close to sounding like spoken by a true philosopher

I cant remember any details but i assume it was fun ^^

nevertheless the Topic of : what are your goals in life
has fascinated me since ever.

when i was 15 years old my main goal was just to get some girls laid.
when i was 17 years old i intended to take as many drugs as possible while also fucking as many girls as possible
with 19 i intended to still take as many drugs as possible to eventuelly die on overdose.

I got clean at the age of 20 years.
From there on my main goals were to succeed in my new hobby
MMA and get a nice Girlfriend for a solid relationship.
Also doing good at University was important to me

getting close to 22 Years i discovered Poker
and from there on my main goal became to get rich

( didnt succeed yet ^^ )

I mean at the age of 23 years youre simply fucked without money. Life is just so expensive if u wanna have some fun.

SO at the momment my main goals
Highest priority first

1. graduating from university
2. getting good amount of money from Poker
3. find a nice Girlfriend for a solid relatiosnhip
4. Fight some little beginner MMA events in Poland or Romania with soft competition.



Since most of u are around my age ( 19-25)
id be interested in your Goals dear LP guys.


On a side note :
played a short 360 hands morning session ( big evening session is to follow) and surprise surprise i didnt get bad beats





GL

All


EDIT _

cant play NL 10 anymore ... every table is like 2 regulars and 8 shortstacks ...

played some NL25 instead
my first impression is that the games are damn soft.
Almost everybody is weak tight ...
I didnt even get the murder hands , but people are soo so easy
to bluff out if you chose the right spots and they are so easy to
make them call when u want it.

lets see what the future brings.

Yeha

only played a short session today cause i got annoyed by all the shortstacks ...

session started with a cooler and a bad beat
as always - 20 $ in the first hands.
QQ run into KK
and JJ set lost turn all in vs OESD that hit on the river.

I don t understand this ... going in for a whole 10 $ stack with an OESD ...

nevertheless the next 300 hands were followed by solid play and good results.
+ 28 $

so up about 8 $ for today.

I feel that the mass playing finally improved my game and i start to reraise in the right spots , keep agression high , but also learned fold when i am obviously beat.

I was just looking for my biggest losers and surprise ^^



besides that i am kinda satisfied with Poker [ though i lose 2-3 buy ins every start of a session i end in the green ]

So today i started my Poker session with lots of motivation
70 hands later i was down 30 $ = 3 buy ins.

what a bad start for a session.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=263633

AK vs AJ on an A flop he caught a J on the river

Also lost QQ vs KJ on a J high board all in cause he also caught a J on the river

and i lost 3 of a kind 7 vs a Full hosue 88877

jeha so basically all the money i made the last 3 days was gone in 10 minutes T_T by 2 bad beats and a cooler.

I still managed to make 35$ back in the next 1200 hands
and so i got today into green



Good thing is definitely that i am playing a shitload more hands than i did in teh past.
3-4 month ago 500-700 hands was a whole day of poker for me
now i do 2100 hands /day on average.

Also played some live Poker with friends
Run shitty as always.
3 euro buy in with rebuy SNGs.
Lost 66 vs 99 on a 569 rainbow board all in.
and lost the second one when i raised with A8 with 4 players being left and the sb pushed. I called he flipped ofer KQs and hit 3 of a kind Kings ...

I didnt rebuy anymore cause i was pissed

-6 euro ( 8.10 $) in live Poker for today.

So all in all i am in the red again and gonna play some more tonight


GL all

EDIT _

after 2 hours of hard grinding , a few bad beats , some coolers and
a 500hands card dead stage

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=263729

I took a break from Poker ( 3 days hahaha T_T)
I restriced myself from playing Pokerstars using the " i am an addicted gambler plz prevent me from gaming " option

Yeha so i planned to take about a month off from Poker.
I was looking through my emails and found :

A party Poker offer " free 50 $ to play with"
I was so not taking adavantage of that !
cause i was to quit poker for a while !!!!

took me about 20 seconds till the dark side won

AT least i managed to stay away from playing SNGS

I said to myself that i ll try the same style that works so insanely good for
Cro)deadman

I am not gonna play real Poker !
Just sit there and wait for AA , KK ,QQ
and stuff.

I will not make any plays i will just value bet.

A 10 year old could do this ^^
but its been working for others so i tried it.
last 3 days





Hm it kinda works though the winrate sucks of course ^^ T_T

Hello everybody

I am sure most of u guys know that nice little HeroesOfMight&Magic 3 game.

There is some Hero skill named Luck.
based on this skill your creatures have a % chance to either deal double damage or only half damage.

I really have the feeling that this applies to me on RL

Ive been running bad in gambling situations ( non poker related)for as long as i can think back in time.
there are 100rds of examples from being a 5 year old to nowadays where i am becoming 23 years old in less than a year

I think i mentioned my legendary losing streak concerning
the " Bayern los" drawing lot action.

every now and then me and my 2 younger sisters buy some "bayern lose" they have a 12 % chance to hit for 1 $ and a smaller chance to hit for more money.

However i am 0-23 and lost 23 euros on that
wheres both of my sisters are only down like 5 euros ...

ANother nice example was when 2 of my friends and I didnt learn for a university test. It was a multiple choice test.
you only needed 60 of 100 points to pass.
SO we decided to gamble
Both got 64 points while i had 58 .... T_T

Also funny story ^^ when i was 16 years old i was really horny on a specific girl. I was so in Love and i had a Boner 3 times a day ... just cause she turned me on so hard.
I finally managed to get her laid.
Or we better say , i managed to get her willing to let my best part give her pleasure.
Unfortunately i didnt get a boner this time ...
was so curel .... I mean u get your dream girl to a one night stand , tell her how you will please her and fuck her like theres no tomorrow ... and then suddenly as a 16 year old things dont get up ... LOL ( one of the worst days of my life this was : now i can laugh about it haha , but whatever)

I ve never ever had not getting him up till this time and it always worked well after.
But just this one time when i was to nail my dream girl it didnt work T_T

Yeha , such situations where i have sick bad luck have basically frequently happend all my life .

I am used to it , so i am relaxed about that stuff and simply try to avoid situations where Luck plays a major part.

I simply have accepted that i have below average luck in RL.

SO why did i even start with Poker u may ask ?

there were 2 reasons

1. I believed in skill being > then luck in Poker
2. It was a challenge for myself. I knew from the beginnig id not run too good at Poker. But i was eager to show mister Jesus that i can beat his bad luck he gave me with my own ambition and hard work.

It was basically a test for myself.
can i make money though running slightly below average ?

And i realized i can
Whenever i ve made good money from Poker i run slightly worse than average but my skill was good enough to pwn low stakes though.

whenever i ve lost bigger money i run worse than hell.

The longer i played Poker the more i noticed luck plays a major part.
Not when u run only slightly worse than average ( u could still win good money then)
But when u run really really bad .. your skill does not matter.

SO everybody here is talking like :

In the long run luck is the same for everyone.

And this sounds reasonable to the human logic.

but how do u know ?
Just from my personl experience from Real Life this is not true.
Of course i cant give real evidence [ but u cant either]
Its just what i experienced in RL.

I and some friends are running really really bad in every RL gambling situation and some others friends of me are running extremly well whenever it comes to luck involved.
ANd this over a sample size of many many years.

Poker has been no difference to me . ( how was i expecting to suddenly run good in online gambling ? when i run incredible bad in RL non poker related gambling ever since i live T_T stupid me)
I have had only 2 gears ever since i started with Poker ( november 2006) ...
running bad but winning money due to edge and
running incredible hell fucking bad and losing money.

Yeha ,
i ll take a brake from Poker.
dont know for how long ( i guess for quite some time)

I ll gamble off my last remaining FTP and qualify for some tourneys.

I Just think the thing with people running bad and people running good for the period of their entire life could very well be true.
Of course i think like 80 % of the people have about the same luck
but lets they there are like 10 % running far worse and 10 % running far better.

comming to the HOMM 3 metaphor of the begining.
i am a Hero with a luck skill of - 2
cant change it ...

Nothing special in my Poker career
Its goes up and down and up and down and up and down etc.

Today was an okay day.
After i lost about 40 $ yesterday i am up + 35 $ for today

yet some thoughts about my poker career and Poker in generall

1.)
I tried some NL 10 and i realized cashgame is not the right thing for me.
I simply tilt so much when i see my dollars go away by a bad beat
I am thinking about the money all the time and check cashier like every 2 seconds as soon as i lose a 10 $ all in ...

I have no problem with buyin in SNG for 50 $ and knowing the money could be gone ...
but i go on mad tilt as soon as i lose 10 $ in cashgame ...

So i ll stick to SNG forever.

2.) I made a Video playing 6 tables of 6.50 SNG
basically the reason behind this is that i havent made a video in ages and it is quite funny thing to do.

dont think anyone will profit from it much since i am a low stakes noob. Maybe someone watches it and helps me with my leaks.
For sure i am not playing perfect poker and i could improve a ton. However it is also funny to see how luck is my worst enemy.

It includes a nice Heads up match where i completely outplay my noobish villian but loose 2 all-in situations where i am ahead 70-30 or better
and finally lose a coinflip to bust.

i ll give a link to the video tomorrow when its uploaded.

3.) Lots of good players are whining that the edge in high stakes Poker that good players have over bad players is getting smaller and variance becomes a much bigger factor.

I was thinking for a while about the situation with SNGS.
I mean there is not too much skill for SNGS that you have to learn it forever.

Of course there is a big skill difference on low stakes such as 6.50$ between some serious player who does it for the money like me and some family father who just wants to have some fun with playing poker tourneys without really knowing what hes doing.
i would also say i have an edge over the average low stakes player in the way i think about hands , board meanings and probabilities combined with my knowledge about different villians playstyles

But at High stakes SNG everybody has prooved himself a winner at SNGS, and everybody knows how to play good.
Isnt it all variance then ?

I think that at 109 $ SNG or higher hardly anyone makes a bad play ever. ( of course sometimes , but most of the regulars are damn solid)

Theres also a high stakes SNG player that i have always admired.
FA_Morgoth the national german poker champion and
former Ger_team Broodwar 2v2 member ( as far as i remember)

I often watched his SNGS at party and he absolutely raped the games. He also made some nice videos that i learned a lot from.
recently he gave Pokerstars a try.

this is the result.



So yeha seems my theorey about high stakes SNG being all variance is not too far fetched.

thoughts ?


now rnd pic to make this post readable



saw an V12 AMG Mercedes in STuttgart last week.
they are hella monsters.

i am down 25 buyins due to getting sucked out like theres no tomorrow

I 8 tabled NL 2 today.

players are very good !

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=251482


nevertheless i am only up 3 $ in 1100 hands.

had some bad beats as usual and also some sloppy play.
was down - 8 $ in the middle of teh session
and there werent many big pots to win since everybody sits down with a 1 $ stack most of the time
