so I play like a nit again and get absolutely raped. These players are so bad...there's like 3 good regs and 239842948294 terrible fucking players that'll chase every fucking card/call everything and hit fucking everything. Yes i'm frustrated. I've dumped over 1k at 50NL now...which is awesome. Anyways here are the stellar losses from today:
KK: this is like the second time this guy has turned a set. FML x10
JJ: Thanks, stim.
A7s: obv he has set. I need to start always folding to his flop raises.
JJ: in hindsight i should have 3bet squeezed PF. but on that flop i'm going broke vs. unknown opponent
AA: look mommy..it's another fucking donkey
AQo: really don't like my play here. Should have 3bet flop or folded. But these donks on UB will play any A .
QQ: oh...KK? that's cool.
AA: I enjoy runner runner flush suckouts, too. Why don't they happen for me?
KJo: standard
TT: some backround: he's THE MOST ANNOYING SHORT STACKER EVER. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HE ALWAYS HITS VS. ME AND IF HE DOESNT HE STILL GETS IT IN AND ALWAYS FUCKING SUCKS OUT. Fuck my life x1000000000000. I hope he dies.
K7s: yayayayayaya let's call fucking everything. End of hand he said he had nothing. WHICH IS PROBABLY TRUE BECAUSE DONKS LOVE SHOVING WITH ALMOST 0 FOLD EQUITY. ODDLY ENOUGH ITS THE ONE TIME I DONT HAVE A HAND. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
KTs: yes, i'm a donk. I'll flop a set vs. you and take all your money.
AA: HAHAHAH I NEVER HIT ON THOSE FDs. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
QQ: it's so much FUCKING FUN TO SHOVE WITH A GUTSHOT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR OPPONENT JUST BET 1/3RD OF YOUR STACK AND YOU HAVE ALMOST NO FUCCKING CHANCE TO WIN.
AJo: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STOP FUCKING MIN BETTING. I SWEAR TO GOD I GOT MINBET AT LEAST 500 TIMES TODAY. SADLY THEYLL ALWAYS CALL A RE-RAISE. SO I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
AKo: FUCKING DONK LOSES ALL HIS MONEY AND PICKS UP QQ NEXT HAND? OF COURSE I DONT HIT. #e24124312351511435415
QQ: YUP DONK HAS ACES. WHAT A FUCKING SUPRISE
TT: thats fucking awesome
AKs: OH YOU JUST DONKED AWAY $50 THE LAST HAND WITH MIDDLE PAIR. LETS PICK UP A HAND AFTER AGAINST FUZZY AND DECIDE TO SHOVE.
FUCK YOU ULTIMATE BET. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU.
yes. i desperately want to hurt someone right now. BACK TO MOTHER FUCKING 25NL FOR ME.
My head hurts. But if you've read all of this then you deserve a song. And my mood dictates the song:
AND YES GKING2008 IF YOU LIVED IN TALLAHASSE ID GLADLY BLOW UP YOUR DWELLING
ETA: i forgot pictures of the chick I want to marry
god you are so hot and you just got sucked out by the olympic judges.
so as extra motivation i'll be posting what happened poker wise each day (and some non poker stuff sometimes ).
Anyways, I was sitting at almost 2k at 50NL and I had a sick 18 BI downswing. I thought it was all me running bad but oddeye helped identify certain spots in which i was spewing (mostly due to tilt). That alone has helped my game so much. I try not to focus on results anymore and just worry about playing my best. Some big losses of the day:
JTs: blah...not much to say. I got that money back 5 hours later. Mofo hit and ran.
KK: lol...UB jokaments
TJs: standard that I don't hit. Seriously that's like 0/10 for combo draws recently.
AJo: he had just pushed A3o the hand before. He was also the donk from the first hand.
AKo: Hahah...donk. Took over half his stack later tho .
I played nitty basically. Usually run at around 21/19 but this is UB...no need to be too loose when they pay you no matter what. Also can anyone tell me how to get the graphs from PT?
sooooo this is going to be a long blog (for my standards anyways). I have a lot of stuff I want to write...i'm in that weird type of mood and I haven't blogged in forever.
Anyways I began the school year (august) probably around 200 lbs. My roommates and I started to smoke the ganja constantly. In fact we became major pot heads. I'd find myself skipping all my classes daily to sit around the bong and play halo/starcraft/poker all day. Well as you can guess my GPA dropped a decent amount (=parents freak out). So we continue to smoke non stop and around thanksgiving I decide to make a life change. I went home for thanksgiving, bought a weight bench from craigslist and brought it back up with me to FSU. Turns out that it might have been the best decision i've ever made. I begin working out daily from the comfort of my own room and I drop a significant amount of weight (think like 40-50 lbs total now). I went from working out maybe 3-5 times before in my entire life to consistently doing it every day. Let me tell you that the change in your body is slow but if I showed you pictures from like 8 months ago it would be mind blowing. I know most people on here live a sedentary life style and I really don't want to preach but working out (at least running) can do so much for your body and mind. Now I joined a MMA gym and i'm taking boxing / jiu jitsu classes. Boxing 3 days a week and jiu jitsu 4 days. Like I said this change (not a huge one..just requires an hour a day and eating somewhat properly) will be life changing for anyone. I can honestly say i've never been happier with what i'm doing now.
School wise i've been doing a lot better and my GPA has re-stabalized haha. I stopped smoking weed (I mean i'll do it once in a while) and I no longer have that pot head feeling where everything slows down and you can't remember what happened yesterday. Girl situation...i went after one of my girl roommate's best friends. It was basically understood that we would be dating once she returned to FSU (fuck you distance). Anywho I completely fucked up that (I was running soooo hot). I suggest no one does the whole long distance thing. Although, it is slightly my fault but lets be real...all girls are bat shit crazy. I'll still never understand anything that went down but you live and learn. win some lose some lol.
And now we get to the fun part, poker. I've watched some good poker buddies turn pro while i've been chiefing on 25/50NL for like forever. And the story begins (about a year ago).....I had like a 6k BR on UB and I was playing 100NL. I had just gotten straate to agree to give me some lessons when I got to 200/400NL (wow I fucked that upppp). I cashed out my 6k in order to move to one of those sites that shut down and scammed everyone. Thankfully my parents stepped in and forced me to put that money in the bank (I hated having to do that but i'm somewhat happy I did now haha). So...after I cashed out I became a pot head and proceeded to never play. I think I lost my love for the game. I could play a session but I was so results oriented that i'd usually end up stopping 30 minutes in. I would play a session once every few days (...which is why I got nowhere). Luckily the whole get in shape thing put my life back on track and i've regained what I felt before I became a pot head. I've been playing for the past few weeks or so seriously and i've made like ~1k. Just moved up to 50NL and I feel my game is the best it has ever been. Working out has given me so much stamina and focus that I feel unstoppable at all the tables. At this pace i'll be at 100NL in a week or so. Damn i'm feeling good and I feel extremely fortunate.
Major shout outs:
MaxUT - dude has always been there for me. Whether we talk about poker or bullshit stuff in life. He's been such a good friend.
Oddeye - I remember when he was struggling with 50NL. Now he's a super baller. Thankfully he hasn't forgotten his roots and for some odd reason he still talks to me and helps me out (haha...just kidding ). He's also coming to hang out at the end of this month...we're going to blazeeee and play poker (open invitation to everyone...Tallahasse, Florida. Florida State University. Free place to stayyyyy). Did I mention he's an awesome friend, too? Also my love for zeppelin has been shipped to him.
Damn i'm running hot in life. I can't complain about anything (although I haven't gotten laid in a while...working on that).
Here's some music that I dance to while i'm dominating the tables:
That's enough for now..E.L.O is so badass. Amazing poker music.
One final note...i'll be trying to make a new post every week with some hand discussion, etc. I need to start improving my game again. I'm shooting for the stars.
My original goal was to reach $4,000 before I moved back to Tally. I reached that a few weeks ago and set a new goal of $5,000. Currently i'm $200 away with 1 day left...
beat: I haven't packed at all for my move.
Anyways..I found some videos on another poker site (not to be mentioned) and I was suprised at the quality. Probably the best poker videos i've seen to date. I used this and changed up my game a bit and I can see a drastic improvemet. For one i've loosened up my raising range on the button/CO big time. Basically raising anything sooted and anything slightly decent. The players are so weak that it's helping me take down a lot of blinds and if I do get involved in a flop my c-betting / reading skills are i'd say pretty good so that small change has definately been +EV for me. Another play i've added is the squeeze. I've honestly never heard of it before I saw it on the video. What an awesome play, it works just about every time if done properly. Finally i've just been light 3betting more regs when they raise from the CO/Button.
I wanted to get some feedback on this hand I had vs a decent regular. He's around 21/18/3 and was light 3betting me in the blinds A LOT and I felt this was a decent spot to 4bet. Obviously with this hand if he had called and I didn't hit a miracle flop I would slow down. Here it is:

slyman27 is at seat 0 with $53.25 fuzzylefuzz is at seat 2 with $56.95 dimelo17 is at seat 3 with $36.15 (sitting out) Bromley_Boy is at seat 5 with $52.25 The button is at seat 2 Bromley_Boy posts the small blind of $.25 slyman27 posts the big blind of $.50
Showdown fuzzylefuzz shows fuzzylefuzz has : straight, seven high Bromley_Boy shows Bromley_Boy has : three aces
Summary $1 is raked from a pot of $105 fuzzylefuzz wins $104 with straight, seven high
Flop pot is $39, I had $38 and I prefered open shoving rather than raising to let's say $20. I felt I was getting a good amount of FE on this A high flop. His range here is more than likely AA-TT and AK/AQ (probably only suited). KK-TT he's going to pitch and since he called my 4bet I expected him to have AA/KK/QQ. So i'm getting him to fold 2 / 3 of the time here. If he happens to call my 4bet with AK/AQ..I still have 8 outs. I think it was a good play...any input would be nice.
So I usually always play 9 tables, it gets pretty crazy...usually don't have a lot of time to think and I have to rely on my PAHUD stats to read the non regulars. Thought it would be a good idea to move down to 6 and it has...made about $200 over a 1k hands playing 6 tables. Also i'm still trying to get the whole rakeback issue settled...I received this message from rakebrain earlier:
Hello There,
Thanks for your Email.
Its seems that you didn't successfully managed to create a RakeBrain account while registering, though you are there in the Ultimate Bet stats but nowhere in our database. I had forwarded your Email to our support manager and 'll let you know if we can fix this.
However, your rake at Ultimate Bet so far for Aug shows $ 900,98.
Sincerely,
Support Team

Anyways...I move back to Tallahassee on Wednesday so i'll be starting 100NL when I get there. Cheers.
I played around 50k hands this month and my rakeback was only $250? I calculated it to be AT LEAST $700 based on my pokertracker stats. Anyone know wtf might be wrong?
While playing at a fellow friend/poker player's house I dropped around 8 buy ins over the course of one day. Was really rough (sooo many bad beats), but that doesn't discourage me anymore. Been grinding the past few days when I feel up to it and won back everything I lost +$100. BR is now $4500 with rakeback coming in a few days (should be $600-700).
good beats:
1. Fall semester is approaching and only a week and a half before I move back to Tally (that's when I begin 100NL).
2. convinced my other roomate to start playing poker, so we're now rolling 3 deep in our apt.
Issues with PAHUD have caused me to not play very much. Two days ago I was down around $120 and made that back yesterday. Finally buckled down and paid for PAHUD so I played a 400 hand session and ended up +$100. BR is $4400. I shall now proceed to get high / drunk for the next 5 days. Cheers.

Kid went on and on about how he played this well vs. me and rambled how much I sucked. Yet he repeatedly turned down my requests to go heads up. I hate 2+2.
In more important news, I made $230 today. BR is now 3830 (over 4k if you include rakeback, so I have met my first goal). Cheers.
