major changes
sooon2b, Jul 15 2008
poker's kinda sucked lately, not running terribly great, but also found I wasnt playing optimally for .25/.5. Normally I play a 21/18ish game, and have always played a somewhat tag/laggish style. Thanks to Marshall, I am now a nit, however im pretty sure his method for crushing .25/.5 is about as optimal as you can get. Results to come after I collect a worthwhile sample size, but I would highly recommend him if youre looking for a 50NL coach.

sooon2b, Jul 13 2008
if anyone wants to stake me for the sundays lemme know etc, adderol + 2 packs of newport kings = pwnage.
busted...
sooon2b, Jul 09 2008
got arrested for possession, paraphernalia, intent to distribute, yada yada yada. fuck my life, etc. trying to figure out how to fuck these cops over and get off this. They may not have had reasonable cause, not to mention they went through close bags in my car which is illegal, as well as going in places not visible on the initial search without reasonable cause. fuck those dudes forreallll 
MTT advice
sooon2b, Jun 23 2008
I need advice on what I should be playing. Atm im rolled for mtts up to $22/$26. I also have ~750 in W$. I am wondering what the best value mtts/sats are for my W$. Im looking for a plan on how to put my W$ to use to ultimately make my bankroll bigger, whether it be me winning a ME seat or whatever. Also, what would be the best way for me to play mtts within my bankroll, and also continue to build it via satellites and such? I dont know how much sense im making right now im pretty jacked on adderol and such but hopefully you get the idea.
Summary: Rolled for 22/26$ mtts, also have 750W$. Want to steadily increase bankroll via mtt sats as well as take shots at the bigger buyin mtts, safely.

NL50 Hand Review
sooon2b, Jun 05 2008
Heres some hands from the session I just played. Any thoughts/comments appreciated. For the record, this is a mixture of hands I won/lost, so no assuming I lost them all  . Just curious as to how well they were played
No reads here, I tend to mix it up here in limped pots between leading/checking. I chose to lead here. On the turn I hit my gutter, flush got there, etc. I would think he'd raise my turn bet with a flush so I went ahead and potted river. Gotta bet here right? psb good?

Villain here was 30/20/3.5, 50% att stl. standard 200BB deep? I hate spots like this 200bb deep, I figured if I 3b flop and he ships it im definitely crushed. Donking here was somewhat unorthodox but I felt it would make the hand a bit easier to play and its good to balance my range. Plan was to c/r safe turn, dunno in hindsight the hand seems sloppy, not entirely sure... standard?

Villain is somewhat lag, 30/25ish, had an infinite turn aggression, high turn bet % etc. He snap shoved... Have to call here since that was my original plan, eh? I guess when the plan is to stackadonk, you have to stick to your plan. The quickness of his shove scared me. I felt hed be 3betting 99 pf, 66 is very unlikely, so its down to 22, 69(which I figured hed prob raise flop) or 68,67 type hands.. maybe A6/56. meh

Villain was a loose/passive fishy player, great odds to call on river, wwud? Minraises scare the shit out of me, feel like my flop/turn play was pussyesque. thoughts? What about river, how often are these types of players minraising flop with fd's, sets? Dunno...

FTP for Stars

Looking to swap ~1k of my stars for FTP. PM me if interested
Poker/Stake Summer 08
sooon2b, May 22 2008
So I am bored and decided to set very specific goals and guidelines for poker this summer. Here it is:
Start with $1k at 50NL – Complete 40 Buyins at 200NL before Fall Semester begins
Make 40 Buyins at each Level before moving up
50NL=$2k
100NL=$4k
200NL=$8k
400NL=$16k
Each time I complete a level, I will have 30-35 Buyins for the next level
Stop/Loss set at 20% of Buyins at each 10 Buyin point
30 Buyins – 6 Buyin S/L
40 Buyins – 8 Buyin S/L
50 Buyins – 10 Buyin S/L
etc...
Each time I move up a level, I start at a 6 Buyin Stop/Loss – Every 10 Buyins I make at that level, my Stop/Loss increases 2 Buyins.
Not too sure about the Stop/Loss bit, but it seems relatively safe so I guess ill just go with it unless someone has better suggestions.
As far as tournaments go, I am looking for a summer staking deal. The tournaments I am willing to play:
Any freezeouts $50+
Any rebuys $11+
Deal would be standard 50/50 with makeup.
FTP: Readmyline
Stars: sooon2b
I have done reasonably well for my past backers (Sappy123/Sapster, rnbsalsa)
Like I said, I would prefer this to be for the duration of the summer. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. If anyone feels the need to flame, please don't waste your time.
Thanks for reading,
Pat
P.S - I am roughly through 20 buyins at 50NL since May 9th
wtf is this!?

NL50 Update
sooon2b, May 14 2008
Past few days ive grinded out 10k hands of NL 50 at 8.5ptbb. So far so good, need about 30 more buyins before moving up to 100NL. Hoping to be at 100NL and Platinum star by the end of May.
The games seem extremely easy overall. Some fish do boggle my mind from time to time but overall the play is atrocious, filled with high vpip, low pfr, low af fish and regulars. Still trying to figure out their retarded donk leads and small cbet raises/checkraises. Aside from that, heres the hands I had some trouble with

Iso raise seems fine here, flop i opted to check as it didnt seem profitable to cbet. turn self explanitory. river i decided to vbet. thoughts? my bet size was equivalent to what they had left.

Villain in this hand was 55/25/8/batshitcrazy retarded . He keeps like limp minreraising and doing all sorts of funky unorthodox shit. The money I have made off of him has been from basically letting him hang himself. Ive been waiting to pick him off, is this the spot?

same lagfish retard villain. hows my overall line?
and summer begins...
sooon2b, May 11 2008
So school is out, and I am actually a bit disappointed. I did manage to finish this semester with a 3.6, and the year with a 3.5, which I am obviously somewhat happy about, but not entirely. I really think I could have done better, but not much I can do about it now. Along with my current Bachelors/Masters Biotech program, I am looking into possibly minoring in Psychology. I find Psych very intriguing and would love to really learn more about it as I find people to be pretty fascinating. Not sure if i'll be able to handle the workload, but its worth a shot I suppose.
I am living here in Kent for the summer, and its pretty boring so far. I am living in the fraternity house, but there really isnt all that much to do since a lot of the guys went home. The girl I was talking to is still here, and I have no idea whats up with that. Theres still some drama with her ex so I sort of cut things off between us, but am still hopeful we end up dating once she sorts that all out and gets over him. Only time will tell, until then i'll keep doing my thing.
I am going to be working as much as possible for my dad which I am not thrilled about. Its good money(~25/hr), but its hard work, and my dad and I dont exactly have the best relationship. I figure I need to make ~5k to pay my tuition/rent for next year, in order for me to not dip into the bankroll. I think I should be able to do that so long as my dad has enough work for me.
Aside from work I will be playing as much poker as I can. Like I said before, I cashed out all but 1k to pay off the rest of my expenses for the school year. I am currently grinding a mix of 25 and 50NL and it blows. I never really thought id be in the position I am in now, but I guess thats what happens when you pay your own bills, and don't play enough poker. I am hoping to be back at ~200NL or at about $10,000 by summers end. If I can put in about 50k hands a month, I think its a reasonable goal. If I can pay off all of next years expenses working for my dad this summer, I think the reduced stress will greatly help my profitability in poker as well as my school performance.
I have noticed the games as a whole have gotten drastically more difficult. Not saying 25 or 50NL is hard, but its certainly a ton harder than it was a year ago, and especially 2-3 years ago. Its gonna take a good amount of work/adjusting to become a decent winner at the mid stakes again. Its also gonna require a much more padded bankroll. I must say I am very impressed with a lot of the lp'rs lately. A lot of you guys' games have improved so much, its pretty awesome to see all of this recent success.
Since I am tight on money now, I obviously wont be making it to the world series this summer. I am hoping to make a few trips with my grandmother to Atlantic City, but that will be about it as far as gambling goes. I may be heading to Texas at the end of the month for my sister's high school graduation. That would be a much needed vacation so hopefully that works out. Other than that the only other traveling I will be doing is for gaelic football. I'll be heading to Montreal in a week or so for a tournament there. Then we have a few trips to Detroit, Pittsburgh, one to New York, one in Dublin, Ohio for the Dublin Irish Festival, and finishing it all off in Boston for nationals sometime in August/September.
Thats all for now, good luck at the tables
Pat
