im still rolled for 200nl but I just cant fuckin win in the past two weeks. Im down like 6-7k playing 200nl. Almost all of it to ridic beats. AA/KK to set in reraised pots. Top 2 vs str8/top 2 vs set/flush vs set.

The fucked up part is that I cant get my money in good~! I have obv had shit ton of suckouts and stuff but thats not the real problem. I mean it sucks but still im mainly down because of the cases that the money is going in when Im drawing nearly dead or very very close and I obv miss!

I was up around 9k at 200nl in July before this shit happend. I have really no idea what da fuck Im doing diffrent compare to the first two weeks of july.


Anyhow Im moving down to 100nl to see if I can win a hand or more importantly my confidence back!

So Im about to leave Istanbul in less than 5 hours from now. My girlfriend left for Wisconsin this morning. My destination is Tehran. I managed to find a plug and wireless in a Gloria Jeans coffee shop in airport. Paid for the internet for around $10 and played some 100nl HU game and Im up like 500 which basically means my Tehran ticket is covered.

Turkey was nice. I went to this place close to Antalya and it was amazing. Mediterenian is just amazing. Istanbul city is also really cool. Specially if you've never been to a Muslim place.

I have TONS of pic since my GF just takes pics like crazy.

Im gonna post more pics and some stuff about the trip as soon as I get to some room in Tehran. For now just some sample pics.

The Great Hagia Sophia. Basilca turned church turned mosque. Burned down to the ground 2 times over the past 1500 years and still standing.




The Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Only 500 years old. Right next to Hagia Sophia. This was taken the next day from the hotel. During breakfast time.



Our hotel in Antalya. Nice place. This place used to be a resting place for the guests of the sultan in Antalya. It has been bought and renewed and now its a hotel.




Our Resort in another place. Great food. Great location. You can spend years here without getting bored.





Me, my girlfriend, the resort and the blue Mediterenian.





The Mediterenian. As blue as it gets.





Anyhow. Those are just a small sample of over 2500 pics that my girlfriend took!! I'll post more stuff. And some more pics like I said as soon as I get setteled in a place with a roof, a bed, a plug and internet conncetion.

Edit: Biggest post of my life!!!
I have to become a featured blog!!

edit2: Btw I almost forgot. while playing the 100nl HU game I ran to a pro HU shortstacker.

So Im now in connection flight in LHR. They've re build the place since the last time Ive been here which was one year ago. It actually looks pretty cool since LHR was the 2nd shittiest airport Ive ever been to(first one being LAX in LA). So I immidiatly bought a plug converter so I can charge my laptop. I bought basically a piece of plastic for 8 fuckin pounds!! I bought the same exact thing for Europian plugs in Vancouver for 0.5 pound!

After I got the laptop charging I decided to connect to internet and thats another like 8 pounds for 3 hours. I go bored surfing the net and VOLA next thing you know Im playing two tables of 100nl. one HU and one 6max. I ended up like $200. I wish that every investment in my life turned out like this! I decided to stop and go get sth to drink.

Hi,

Ive been playing poker for over two years now. During this time Ive been playing exclusively at Pokerstars only. Even though everyone keeps saying that games at Pokerstars are alot harder than other sites I'm still a loyal customer to PokerStars. Last year Ive acquired over 800k VPP so it wouldn't be an exaggeration if we say that I'm among your most valuable customers.
All that being said I want to request as one of your most loyal players that starting July1st 2008 I don't have to post blinds while Im playing cash games.

Regards,
Sina




























Hello Sina,

Thank you for your email.

I am afraid that we would be unable to accommodate your request as such.
Let me provide you with a brief explanation that I hope will clarify the
concept of game blinds to you. SB stands for Small Blind; BB for Big Blind.

Games begin with some forced wager over which players compete. In any
poker game, the pot needs to be started with an amount of money. If there
was no money in the game to start, there'd be no incentive to play. A
blind bet is a forced bet that must be made by a player before he even
sees his cards.

The player to the left of the dealer places the small blind into the pot.
The player to the left of the small blind (two places to the left of the
dealer) places the big blind into the pot. Both of these blind bets are
mandatory, and are made before the cards are even dealt. The big blind is
equal to the fixed betting limit for the first round. The size of the
small blind is half of the big blind.

Please refer to the following link for a general description of rules and
basic concepts of our games here at PokerStars:

http://www.pokerstars.com/pokerbasics.html

Those rules apply to all our customers, thus we are unable to make
exceptions to those rules. Let me know in case you need further
assistance.

Regards,

Juan
