Well as some of you may had noticed I have moved to FTP...and to be honest beside the sick bad beats I'm laid upon on regular basis,I really like it.
In my opinion FTP has been advertising themselves a lot better lately then Stars are,and more importantly in all the right places,such as UFC,also the reg:fish ratio is better and the regs are mostly not-so-good.
In general it's a lot softer then Stars and I'm happy I've made this switch.
My current plans are to grind quite a lot and cashout rakeback only,live a modest life for some time and build a roll to ultimately get to NL400,a limit is the final one in my crosshairs.
Here are some statistics how I've been doing on FTP so far and some hands for comedy value.
As some of you who are friends with may had noticed I was on a 3 month poker break because of few simple things...
I had enough money,had decent BR and achived supernova,so due to the fact I don't really like poker too much as a game,more as a source of income which I didn't need at the time I called it quits.
Now after seeing some of my friends playing NL200+ with very good bankrolls I think I made a mistake,because somewhere down the line when I'm 30-40 If I can already have enough money to not work ever again in my life why not try seriously?
So I made some decisions.First off I ain't moving back up to NL200 until i have 12.5-15k$ BR,and this year im gonna grind more then I did last year (like 130k hands or smth lol) to see how much exactly can I make.
If I make more then 50k which I think I'm able to do then I'll continue to pursue poker as my main source of income,if not I'll try to find some kind of a balance in my life working a "real" job and playing poker on the side as many do.
On a little more serious note...I've been playing a crappton of DOTA and being a Captain of a pretty strong team makes me fucking busy.
My pryorities? in life got a bit mixed up...So now I'm back to hope fully make some more money.
I also feel LP is really failing to deliver lately... Straate never posts anymore,Mezmerize,Doomer and even Milkman is slacking... even Myth who I consider the backbone of this community isn't here as he used to be.
I still visit only because of Baal/Faz/Loco beside them I really can't see contributing people.
This might be due to my "break" or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but it doesn't change the fact its dissapointing compared to LP a year ago.
I'm offering coaching to people who play Fullring at NL50 or NL100.
Hourly rate would be 65 for NL50 players and 75$ for NL100 regs,doing it anything under that would be massively -EV for me since my hourly rate is way higher but I just wanna give coaching a shot.
If one would take a 5-10 lession pack and would be unsatisified how things are going by the 3rd lession refunds are available.
Payments would be done 50% upfront 50% on the end of the lession pack.
Long term coaching is also a possibility If I get multiple applies for it I will only take one person who I will pick after reviewing some important factors as dedication to poker,future plans and personality.
Quite a few people can vouch for my credibility and my game understanding.
If interested PM me and we'll go from there.
I play a 17/14 style at FR and I'm a big winner at NL100 and NL50,currently playing NL200...
I first off want to start by saying that I'm shocked by how little hands I've actually been putting in...I can safely assume its because of the fact I've been playing a huge amount of DOTA and focusing on become really good at it for IHCS and similar.
In my last blog post a lot of people whos opinions I respect were telling me to move up to NL200 so I took their advice having only 6.4k or something in my BR,which is highly unusual for me since I never move up unless I have at least 40 buyins,especially to "Midstakes".
Forunately for me the shot went well and I'm satisified how I've been playing and running,a lot of this lets say "enhanced success" has a lot to do with D_Zoo coaching me,therefor I'd like to thank the man and to everyone whos looking for a great coach who is affordable and has a very nice style of working with people,look the man up,if he can give u sess's it will truly help your game!
Off to the monthly Stats & Graph. " onload="check_display(this)" onerror="this.style.position='relative'"; this.style.visibility="visible">
I also hope this blogpost won't curse me into running bad like they usually seem to...Anyone else got that feeling? Whenever you post that you're satisified with how you're running etc...You suddenly start to run bad!
