RJ227's Blog

Haven't really played too much recently. I have finals upcoming, and many papers. I went away for the holiday and played a few hands HU and won about 1.5 BI.

I put in a nice 6 Max session for about an hour:


I have a lot of stuff to do in the next week or two, but I hope to put in at least an hour per day. I feel really good about my game right now, having watched some videos and playing less robot-like. At the end of April, I'm going to give Poker a real shot, and play a ton of hands.

That's about it for now.

Or not? I play a good number of hands, 3 table, and I still make next to nothing in rakeback. Anyone care to share some numbers?

Anyone have a good one to use? I don't have a problem paying $50 or whatever. I was using the free one a guy on 2p2 made but it doesn't work anymore. Thanks

Hi,

I am looking for a stake to play 25 NL 6 Max on FTP. I used to play SNG's on FTP and Cake, but switched to cash last month. I have played the last 1.5 months on Cake Poker. I got staked $300 from my roommate in early February to play 20 NL 6M on Cake. In that time, I've moved up to 50 NL and have built that $300 to $2800 before rakeback. My roommate only staked me to make money in a relatively short amount of time and would rather keep the profits than reinvest.

Thus, I come here, hoping that someone would be interested in staking me. I am easily accessible by both AIM and telephone and would be quite happy to talk to anyone interested in staking me beforehand. I would give frequent updates and would like to go over hands with staker, etc.

Please contact me if you have any interest at all or any questions.

Thanks,
RJ227

Well, I've finally had enough of the Cake software. I'll be transferring my roll over to FTP and saying goodbye forever to Cake Poker. It has some positives, but the software is just so incredibly horrendous. The games are also not as easy as they once were, I guess. In addition to the 1000000X better software, I've heard good things about the cash games at FTP.

Also, this will be my first time using a HUD. If anyone would be willing to disperse some info about the nuances of the HUD and what stats to pay attention to, etc. I would greatly appreciate it. If that is not normal to give out basic info, I apologize but like I said, I'm just trying to get a feel for how to use it to my advantage.

Thanks and GL,

After Cake shat the bed for a day and a half, I started off playing really well, winning about 6.5 BI. Then, I started getting absolutely murdered, and ended up 1.5 BI. It's incredibly discouraging to have this happen repeatedly when I know that I'm playing well. It gets me pissed off that all the work I put in to win that 6.5 is now wasted time because of retards calling $14 PF with 77 and hitting a 7. I feel like I'll never hit NL100 at this point.

My desktop computer of 4 years has given out on me, and I want my next computer to be able to handle 15-20 tabling easily. Here are my general options:

1. Build a computer (Cheap, good value)
2. Buy a new desktop (Better performance value than a laptop)
3. Buy a new laptop (Able to play when I go to GF's place, can hook it up to my 26" monitor)

Any thoughts? Specifically, what attributes do you need in a good "poker" computer? Thanks

This was my first month playing cash primarily. I didn't really have any goals other than to make something and get acclimated.

I played roughly 55K hands at 20 NL, making $800 + another $320 or so in rakeback.

My cash br is at about $1400 now, I think I may take a shot at NL50, and move down if I fall to $1000.

March Goals-
60K hands
Become an NL50 reg
Make $2000 from my play and $750 in rakeback.
LOOSEN UP. I am a self described nit, playing about 14/11. I'd like to make it a point to raise more hands pf, like J8s, pocket pairs and the like. I think I'd be well served to become about 20/15.

Are my goals too lofty? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks and GL,

Hi, I just wrote up a long post that didn't go through but basically, been successfully playing SNG's and tournaments for a while, and decided to switch to cash. I put in my first session and tried to upload my stats but LP says the IMG is too big. Any pointers on how to post the image? I'd really like to post it so you guys can give me any pointers on my stats you may have. Thanks
