After reading many poker blogs, Ive realized just how boring they get, unless the guy makes an insane amount of money or Johny Cosmo blog.
So ill make something different from them to make my blogs more interesting, aside from, of course, my super interesting poker career!
Every Blog entry ill discuss a relevant topic thats been on my mind, or just share some cool videos from Youtube.
Resume on poker
Finally got my account back, 4K BR there grinding 50NL until rakeback payment (friday) and then ill try the NL100 tables once again (800$ down there =( ).
I literally destroyed the NL25 partypoker tables, 300$ in 2 days, so that feels good and I felt it was so easy to trap and bluff them, confidence up again. So gonna cash out the 700$ from party and use it prolly for other promos or casinos or gifts.
Im up 200$ today on NL50 as well, so all good.
Relevant topic of the week
So I was searching on youtube for some Vids, and run into this British show, some singers are really nice, like this dudes:
or this kid:
poor guy though, when he changes his voice as all males do... byebye 1 million $ voice =/
Granny rapper, a must see ROFL :
There are tons more on youtube.
This little girl stole my heart though:
I gotta admit, after watching it for the 4rd time it doesnt sound so impressive anymore,... still!
Well thats all. Next blog prolly gonna be full of photos (if I ever learn how to upload photos on the internet and then show them here) since I got an assignment from university, LETS LOOK FOR FAKE FACES ON THE STREET, or something.
Hugo07222 shows a full house, Queens full of Jacks .
locoo20 doesn't show a full house, Twos full of Jacks .
Hugo07222 wins $47.60 USD from the main pot with a full house, Queens full of Jacks .
So major downsings in the poker world for me. Basically those hands up there has been my everyday bread for the past 3 weeks (they hurted a lot more at NL100 and NL50 though).
You may wonder why I play NL25 now, no I havent lost my mind and lost most of my BR luckily. My account at ipoker was closed for helping a friend transfering some money (dumb me). So I was really bored without poker for couple days and then decided to deposit 400$ to Party just for fun. Maybe that would change my luck.
Yeah right.
Anyway, given that its NL25 AND Party, im up 30$ so 430$ that should cover the cashout expenses so im virtually at 0$ gain. I did play just 2 days and very few hands though so I guess its ok.
Anyone has the answer?
How long can a really bad run last? I know I just have to be patient and an AMAZINGLY GOOD RUN its just around the corner, oh well ill just wait and wait , keep up the spirit!!.
This last week ive gained nothing nor lost anything, im exactly as I was 1week+ ago(thx to rakeback, cuz if not I would be down 500$).
NL25 all over again
3.8K
It seems impossible to win NL100 at the moment in the same fashion as I couldnt win NL25, was playing NL50 beating it for 13bb/100 but when I reach 4K I go up to nl100 and I lose couple buyins very fast. Get reraised PF out of my hands and its just basically mayhem all the time!:

I guess I couldve bet more on the turn, other than that I guess I just got outdrawn on the river for the 500th time, the guy actually thought a lot before calling the river, how bm! >.<
So I just expect for things to go better this week... have to reach 5K until sunday so I guess I will stay playing NL50 since I do so good there, though its frustating to play a level in which u are so well overolled for.
I decided to write now instead of sunday because today was an exceptional poker day for me.
Upswings
Great mindset, having fun in playing, bad enemies (prob on alcohol /drugs), somewhat good cards = Good run .
I began the day losing 200$ or so, some boring poker on NL100 6 tabling. I even went on to play some Partypoker tournaments and sit n gos heads up whatever, cuz I was so bored... Took a break, hook up with girlfriend and then it stroke me : Lets 8 table on 2 screens! TZAS, I did it, and it worked wonders!.
I was havin so much fun I won 1.1K, so I won a total of 900$ (not over yet!, i will 8 table 1 or 2 more hours after this, but after that I have to go to class).
By far my best poker day (well except when I won 600$ from a tourney, thats a close second).
Feeling good, 3 betting with a wide variety of hands and people seem so afraid of being 3 bet they either fold pre or fold on flop vs my air to a c-bet, basically having tons of fun toying with my cards and playing somewhat unortodhox leaning more towards reads and tells and bet patterns rather than my actual cards(prob somewhat LAG, i was always TAG). The more I won the more casual I could be with my play, since my bankroll wasnt hurt so much with big bets and I wasnt scared of making a big bluff.
I realized I can now categorize a lot of villains more accurately and also read hands and bet patterns better, just very confident right now and even if Im just on a heater confidence is always good.
Running on 9.10BB/100 hands on NL100, but just with 5K hands or so played. I guess I wont move up to NL200$ until I reach 6K though, will follow everyones advice.
Br : 4K
Downswings
Im at a major downswing in my studies at the university. I made up my mind now that I wanna keep studying + playing at the same time. Wont put the studies on the background anymore, I think its very important to study while you are young and can act like a sponge into new ideas and knowledge.
I will be moving out from parent on June so, I hope things keep going like this for a while
Play good at the tables, if you are getting sucked out, you are playing great!
NL100 is gonna be fun I bet
BR : 2xxx$ , here we go!
PS : I miss donkaments so much, Im gonna deposit 100$ on partypoker for MTTs exclusively!, I find my success there much more consistant than on PS for now.
PS2 : Would be nice if I get unbanned from midstakes forum, but if cant be done then np
Forgot about you for a couple sundays, it s been really crazy these days for me.
Moving up stakes yet again
So here I am now.
From NL5 to NL10 to NL25 to a well rolled NL50 (1400$) in 4 months(started poker in February), I hope I keep going up 1 stake a month it would be the best thing ever, but I doubt Im going to be out of NL50 just yet, at least for another month. Basically I feel my game has improved a lot and Im very confident.
Ive had my bad runs like everyone but I feel I have an edge against the vast mayority of players at my stake which is always nice, so I can play much more confident. Of course im not at pokerstars anymore, then I wouldnt have that much of an edge I think.
Of course I still have much to learn, Im getting coaching lessons, last night was just half hour session with a coach and another half hour talking some with John. I made about 150$ in that session and was more than what I payed him which is always nice .
Also rakeback is the best thing ever!!.
Little personal life
So im moving out soon from my parents house and dropping out of 2nd year of university (not forever, but at least a year or 3/4 of a year). I really need to establish myself away from my parents for a while, I just feel its the perfect time to do so(I have motivation and money of my own) and to focus entirely on my poker game.
I definetly plan on going back to study but only when I have gained a very huge insight on poker so that I dont need to study it that much anymore, then I will have time to study other things.
I really hope things keep going this smooth, of course theres always the fear of a major bad run, but its a risk im willing to take.
Also I will start going to casinos 1 or 2 days a week, just ocasional 200NL soft games where I can win some money for the month to sustain myself, so that I dont have to cash out always from my online poker bankroll.
So thats it for now, was a little long, c u and play good at the tables!
So it's sunday again, and I feel somewhat inspired for another blog entry.
Success!!
I'm not sure if I can beat NL25$ consistently yet, but I ran hot couple of days, going up 300$ and much more than achieving my 600$ goal, I ended up with 800$, so its 200$ to me and 600$ to...
NO IQ Poker!
Gonna deposit 600$ here, seems like a good, serious site with Bank Wire Transfer, so it's just what I need, hopefully I will be playing NL50$ sooner than I expected.
Regrets
Never winning even one tournament at Pokerstars makes me kind of sad. I cashed in about 1/3rd of them but never got to Final Table in any. Failure in tournament game. but I will be back, pokerstars.
I wanted to play the Liquidpoker tournaments every sunday as well, but I can't because I got paid from a BW Team to play WGT-CL at the exact time that the tourneys take place, so I can never come (last sunday was an exception because we won by W.o )
PD : The payment sucks ass and I regret it 100%, but I have to deal with it, at least until the season is over
Other things!
So finally, I'm getting a hat and a t-shirt with the PS logo (SWEET!), I'm getting my gf and my mom couple shirts as well, FPP Store is great!!.
I suggest u insult me there if u want to , although I still don't understand the urge to diss someone in distress (I personally just wouldn't care, or feel for him/her) but I kind of deserved it anyway :[
Ok lets keep on with couple more hands!, biggest winners!! to cheer me up!!
second biggest winner and really cool hand. Loved it.
--------------------------------------
So this is it for this week, hopefully next sunday I will report more profit from NoIQPoker, I sure hope so!. As always, have my blessing for the tables, and may God guide your flush draws.
So i decided to update my blog because some things about poker have been crossing my mind and I want a little time to think about them (writing about them makes me think about them).
New beginning
So I cashed out exactly 1007$ from PartyPoker and I asked my girlfriend to deposit me 70$ on PokerStars since my card don't work but hers does. I thought about depositing myself once my money arrived on my bank account and started playing the NL10$ tables at party.
NL10$
So NL10$ was far softer than I expected (even more than on Party!) and now after 2 and a half weeks or so I turned those 70$ into 500$. Yes, I'm so cheap!!! I saw the tables so soft that I didn't even deposited from my own money .
So I got 1000$ to spend on shit and bought my gf a very nice wallet and I'm planning to take my mom to dinner at a very fancy restorant .
Actually it was 560$ but here's the very depressing part:
NL25$
To keep it short, I was doing pretty good here, winning 70$ or so, when this happened:
all this are in order but all almost at the same time, in different tables. I know the play wasn't the best and a little tricky but the results would've been the same anyway.
I feel so jinxed about NL25$, I'm gonna take a break until tomorrow. I'm still green on it on PS tho (!) but only like 28$.
BR : 508$
Ok I calmed a little. Onto the other short subjects.
Poker Books
I decided to buy some from Amazon (gonna use my PS FPPs to ship some clothing with the PS logo (pretty fucking cool) But I'm still not sure which.
Thinking about Aces on the River, some theory of poker (not the david slansky yet, but any of the sort) and a book about tournaments.
Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Full Tilt or NoIQPoker??
Yeah, they both have the same bonuses so i'm not sure which one to choose (or even choose one at all) when I reach 600$, but I definetly want rakeback and I will come back to PS once I'm pretty high stakes (If i'm ever there).
Still undecided
Anyway, I still don't know how to paste graphs (and wouldn't be much useful anyway since I play from 3 computers, depending on where I am, and only have PT on this one).
Gonna beat this fucking NL25$ once and for all, I know I'm better than a lot of this guys but I keep getting owned but 1 2 3 outers... Ok stop whining, I know luck will come my way.
I would like to talk about two things at this point.
Mainly it was just one thing: really great people.
Yugless
He (or she... capaneo told me Yugless is female sorry if it's not true, but you never told me anything about it Yug ) PM'ed me couple days ago and told me that we could practice some to be able to beat NL25$, can you imagine my thrill?
I basically let my girlfriend wait for 1~2 hours of our date and got set into a couple tables commanded by Yugless advice. I made 50$ in a matter of minutes , thank you very much Yug, you were very helpful and I understood the basics very well, and you even made me some money .
Hope to talk to you soon on msn
Capaneo
Aha now onto this other great fella. I PM'ed him asking about freecoaching, ready to get myself non-replied, told-to-fuck-offed. Nevertheless he just asked for my MSN and was just ready to get on with the class, even though I told him I didn't even got money yet to NL25$.
We shared ventrilo and some program I think it's called CrossLoop to share our screens, and he was there beating the crap out of NL25$ while commenting to me about his hands and decision. Great session but too short, so he even told me about some other classes on another time!. Talk about generosity
Really I wanna thank you both very much guys, made me the much more vitalized to try harder at poker even though my family is very much against it 100%. But I will prove them wrong
Secondary thing I wanted to share
Lastly on another note, I wanna talk about how fucking great is PokerStars. Been on NL10$ today with just 70$ and after couple hours I was sitting in 4 tables: 1 with 18$, another with 20$ and the last two with 40$ each. I wasn't even running that good (seriously) getting bad beat all in a couple of times, but still a nice session for being my real first one.
So I hope things go like this everytime on PS (I know it can't never be this good, but it's good to hope for it).
Cashed out 1000$ from there (All my bankroll). I was kinda tired of the site, to be honest I don't really trust them. I once tried to get some money out with "Check by Mail" option, and it never arrived. His support by e-mail is pretty dumb and never answer my questions, I think it's automated.
Also his SnG and tournament fee is a joke, basically impossible to get good winnings by playing SnGs. Good thing was the very loose players they say but...
Present
I did a 70$ deposit to PokerStars just to feel the software before I deposit enough to play NL25$ (gonna be somewhat like 400$ more). So far I've made like 50$ from NL 10$, people basically go all in vs me with 32s and 58o. I even tried some NL25$ table and it seemed really really loose (I didnt win anything though cuz I never got good cards, just payed the blinds once). I think I'm gonna like it in here .
And of course PokerStars support ruless. I did got the check by mail that I requested unlike Party. So everything seems that's gonna go very smooth ~.~ and hopefully I can beat NL25$ here
