Murphys Law

Purchased these headsphones today ($80). I called up the company and said SHIP IT, they said "yes sir". The previous sentence is false, I ordered online. Went with wireless so I can get up and and piss while still enjoying the sounds of chips moving around. I can also walk around the house when im playin some random tournies and I can hear the alerts tellin me its time to act. PLus, i hate wires. On an unrelated note, i can also poop and listen to my TV/Music if i so choose.



I usually have the TV on in the background when I play even tho I dont watch it. Im gonna start listening to music while I play. I wanna start grinding hard and im hoping these things will motivate me.

Random things:

-Saw book of Eli, good shit
-Played the million takedown and the 1/4 mill yesterday, cashed both for a combined 150ishh. Thats a shit ton of money so I made sure not to spend it all in one place (see above)
-I weighed myself this morning, I stand at a wimpy 164 pounds. I got the flu about 6 weeks about and just continued to be sick for about a month. Before that I weighed 175. I got 3 months to gain 20lbs, easy.

Rush is nuts

Omaha in general is an action full high variance game. Add in RUsh poker and that shit is bananas. B A N A N A S. I hope i get that gay song stuck in ur head. IN rush poker u skip all the boring hands and are only playing big hands. NOt to mention most pots are 3bet so its constant 3bet pots and constant swings. THe other bananas part is that your always fukin deep, my avg stack is like 400bbs after like 30 minutes on 4 tables. I ran like shit today over like 3k hands prolly dropped 6 buyins back. I did clear my 150 iron man bonus tho.

I got a bet going with my gf that I can gain 20 pounds by may 1st. I'll keep track of it here. ITs a friendly bet and the stakes are a new yankee jersey and tix to a game. We see about 10 games a year so Ill enjoy wearing the jersey and mentioning how i acquired that shiznit. Im 6 feet tall and 170 currently so 20 lbs isnt as easy as it sounds. Most of it will be put on in the gym and I just have to stay on top of my calories, at least 3k a day. Hard to do when you eat healthy tho.

Here are some amusing hands from todays session. Even a high stakes pro couldnt resist coming down to slap me around. BTW he was playing exactly how you would imagine he was playing at 25PLO, like he didnt give a fuck. Thatt 2nd pot is over 600bb's

So my plan right now is 25k hands of 25PLO RUsh poker then i'll see where I wanna go from there. I've played 3 short sessions so far 4 tabling rush and I've got a litte over 2k hands. I plan to play at least 3k tommorrow. So far im up about $200 or 8 buyins.

THis is why this game is so profitable, well, sort of.

Got my 500 transfer done to full tilt, ty lachlan.

Got home today from work, smoked a J and played some 25PLO RUSH POKAHHH

My plan is to put another 1k on FT soon but ill see how I do with this 500. For now I plan is to grind 25k hands at 25PLO/NL before I move back to 50NL. I really think this 25PLO is amazing, its a fish fest. I figured if i just played solid fundamental omaha I could kill this game. Wow did this plan start great. PLayed 1200 hands today rush PLO ended +183, 7.5 buyins. Obviously I ran hot as hell and it felt fukin great. I crushed everyone. I dont have HEM For PLO so i have no idea what the numbers were. I can however provide the second best thing to a graph. A description of a graph. OK so if you imagine a graph thats going up at a very steep rate, thats my shit.

IM off to play some COD MWF2 - add me on xbl if u want - Y0uGotGot (mention ur from LP)

OK Im sort of confused here. I cant decided which site to play on. I have played on FTP for the past year and I have rakeback there, i also get free cardrunners everymonth. BUT, FTP has doomswitched me forever and its mentally deteriorating. I really think it has some effect on my game and I begin to just expect crazy beats. I was contemplating a fresh start on stars. The most I could acheive monthly on stars atm is Goldstar grinding 50NL and maybe even Platinum if I try hard later in the year, but im missing alot on rakeback. I do like PS better tho and tend to run decent there, along with there huge choice of low stakes big guarantee tournies I like to hit up every now and then. SO help me LP!

Im lookin for a transfer my PS for your FTP, 500 maybe more. Looking to do a few more in the future too. I only want to trade with a very reputable person and I will obviously send first.

This is one of those venting blogs that i need to write before i fukin kill someone.

I left FTP not long ago but decided to throw some money on there to play the rush games, which i figure will be fun plus im gonna make sick rakeback on top of what i win due to so many hands. Obviously FTP had not forgotten about me, and I came back just where I left off. FUKIN DOOMSWITCHED. I played 1.2k hands in about an hour and lost 5 buyins running 4 buyins below EV. THese are some of my favorites, some of these dont even factor in to EV just fukin coolers. TY FULL TILT U FUKHEADS.

JQ vs AQ on QQ7 board
A9 vs AQ on AA4 board
AK I 3b on btn and lose to a moron who cold calls from the sb with 77 and hits K72 rb flop
77 vs QQs on AK7sss
QJ vs 99 on QQ2 flop, all in turn 9
MANY FUKIN MORE JUST LIKE IT

PERSONAL FAVORITE

THis was just at the beginning of the session and I still kept my cool. Guy raises UTG and 3 people behind him call. I squeeze OTB with AQss, folds to the 3rd caller of the original bet, who decides to represent absolute SHIT and shove over my squeeze like a moron, I snap his face off and he tables 22, flop AQ2.


Glad i could get that off my chest, BUT I DO NOT FEEL ANY BETTER

Can you guys just give me some encouragement? tell me its not just me????

As i was grinding 8 tables on 50NL and 100NL the other day I realized something, i was bored of Holdem. This isnt the bored of hold em you hear from big winners who say they have solved the game and are no longer challenged. I am no where close to conquering this game, im just not interested in it anymore. I have no passion for it and no yearning for learning. I realized this was causing me to play bad, i actually developed some serious FPS from being bored and started spewing money. So, what am i gonna do? Well, all my New years goals are out the window. 2 days ago I cashed out my full tilt roll which stood at 2800 after some runbad recently. I have rakeback coming this week which ill use to finish off my year end bonus, I also bought a ton of products from the FTP store like clothes and random shit.

I've decided to start a little project to fire up my passion for poker. Im starting with a new site, and a new(sort of) game. I deposited 500 on pokerstarts and plan to grind 25PLO and work my way up. I really enjoy PLO and it satisfy my needs as an action junkie. I have never really had an issue with tilt so variance shouldnt bother me. Im the kid who spazzes in the chat to give the appearance of tilt, but never changes my game. I look forward to this challenge and for the first time in a while im truly excited. I plan to grind up to at least 1500 before I move to 50PLO, but well see how the games go. Im actually a decent PLO player, i hand read suprisingly well and have a good understanding of what I want to do in the game. I have a snowboard trip coming up this wednesday thru friday and after that I will probably get started. The only thing I have to do is purchase the HEM for PLO. If anyone isnt using their extra version let me know u can save me some money. Besides PLO I will play some small buying MTT's randomly, which is part of the reason I moved to PS. Maybe ill even get lucky and ship one.

Peace
