I can't stop spewing. There are so many situation where I know I'm way behind and I still call huge river bets. I still stack off with overpairs way too often. I have learned a ton in the last 2 months but far too often I ignore my intuition (which comes from knowledge obviously) and make poor plays.
So, despite being in the black almost 17 buyins and being rolled for nl100, I am going to play nl25 again. My win rate there is much higher and I will look at it as being a self punishment and a chance to regain confidence. To avoid temptation, I am going to cash out all but 40 buyins for nl25.
It finally feels go to be back to where i won the most so far. Im over rolled for the $6.50 45 mans. I have 128bi just waiting a little longer to move up to the $12 45 man turbos. Hoping to pull a nice profit per week while running 12 tables. The last week of grinding $6.50 MTT avg about gaining about 15 bi per session. 1K I will move up to the $12 for a nice comfort zone. Last time i was on the $12 limit i took to many gamble and flips with a 3K roll and had a huge downswing cause lets face it I didnt really care about $12 flips. Well this time it is back to ABC grinding to pull profit and build a FAT roll and hopefully be on of the top LP tourney players. Lots to learn many years to perfect but if vanessa russo can do it from $10 well FUCK HER SHE SUCKS!!! I can do it from $8 Well back to jamming to some house wwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee.
Ran so bad in august. By far my first losing month this year and my worst month ever. Even though i didnt lose much i couldnt get nothing started and it stayed that way. Luckily stars rewards people with fpps so that has helped a shit load. If there was no fpps id of prob quit by now. The coolers this month were rediculous and losing 80/20s happened all month. Idk check out these graphs and let me know..pretty sure it was runnin bad with alittle bit of tilt in the middle
up a solid 5 BIs after about an hour and a half of 5 tabling nl2 6 max. i also hooked up my 24" monitor to my laptop so i'm basically using a dual monitor set up right now...not fuckin bad
EDIT2: Before anyone takes this the wrong way, I'm not actually THAT titled - I don't even have to move down (although I probably will play less 5/10 just for a while). It just feels good to rage a bit :D
Anyway, even though I have ran pretty bad it's not like I'm without leaks, and I don't consider myself to be "one of the best 5/10 players at ipoker" by any stretch, I'm probably a dog in many of the games but I generally table select well.
So while I don't think any of these are LPers: XynDen, stop winning flips with your pocket tens. LCFan, god damn you and your weird play. That is all, I need breakfast.
EDIT: An alternative title could be "I'm a stubborn donkey who doesn't know when to quit".
FUCK FLIPS (this is the 3rd time I write this, the first time I was tilted, the second time I was oddly less tilted after having to re-write my post from accidentally clicking a link, now the 3rd time I'm re-tilted as I forgot to fill in my blog title and have to do everything all over again - SIGH).
Todays session(s):
A huge FU to that.
This month (actually more like the last 1.5 weeks)
A huge sigh to the allin EV.
Weird spot http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514342 - In hindsight I think I should just be betting here until he raises, get value from 8s to Ts, maybe even jacks. Esp. with a spade.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/514139 - I was seriously considering folding here, thought he could only really have KK -_- But I timed down and called at the very last second.
Other than that I've been grinding NL10 and playing some tournaments, doing fairly well and rebuilding my roll, working hard to not degen it away (actually a tough task for me) and working on discipline etc
I'm playing fantastic these days though, you should see me up at nl50 within a week or two
like a week ago i put 35 in my stars account and SNG grinded up to 53
SNGs are really whack, i'm really tired of losing AK v AQ or AJ v AT or some dumb shit like AA/KK v J5 on the bubble. it's very frustrating, but the games are very very easy.
but cash games are way more profitable.
so continue grinding SNGs or switch to nl2 6max and domination?
BTW i bought disgaea 3 today, what a great game. and i also got pixeljunk monsters on PS3 off the PSN which is basically just a Tower D clone but it's fun as hell also
I earn more that double in my sb then what i earn on my button. omg SMALL BLIND GOD.
lol this is hilarious.
over a decent sample size of 20k hands too
as always, comments on my stats are much appreciated
its truly a sad day when the site earns over twice the amount i do
anyway i have been stuggling thru nl25 and today i earned 8 buyins not because i got any better but because there were so many donks. heres my nl25 graph so far
would be great for the nl25 stars players who know me to comment on my play
one of my biggest leaks is not being able to get away from overpair AA/KK vs a set. I can just NEVER fold And because i have a crazy aggressive image alot of times people stack off with me with TP.
and with that i start my poker break. gf coming over from sg and then i have to work on my thesis. and im going to sch to tutor in 1 hours time. sigh wish i had more time
This is my August so far. I just started on Monday since I was on vacation before that. When I started playing nl50 9 max in July, I started with some very nice results. I was motivated to work on my game alot. I posted hands, watched videos, discussed strategy in general, etc. Now, I am going absolutely nowhere and it sucks. Unless I hit a major heater next week, I'm going to withdraw most of my bankroll and play nl25 again, which has always been very good to me.
Holy shit stop raining. I come back from that shit hole Europe, having actually learned to appreciate USA, and I get rained on all week. I hated Europe so much. It was my first time there since 1995. They fucking rape you with everything. Fifty cents to use the bathroom? Is a hand job from the bitch wearing the burka included?
I went to some crappy restaurant in Italy because the food prices looked reasonable. I ordered a coke without looking at the menu since I was really thirsy. Five euros! Half a liter for fucking 8 dollars. I buy a fucking 2 liter for 99 cents at costco. I can't imagine you people that actually live in Europe pay half your fucking paycheck in taxes then can't do anything without getting raped again.
Oh yeah and there were bees everywhere. I couldn't go anywhere without having those little fuckers flying in my face. I hate bees and made myself look like an ass more than once running away when they fucking swarmed me.
God bless America. God bless Bush for all I fucking care. Give me my free parking and $1 coke and reasonable taxes and free fucking bathroom over your Euro bullshit any day of the week. Fuck socialism
Going all in getting ur money in good 200bb deep. Then getting raped beyond recognition. Its like somewhere up there god said lets see him get sucked out in the most hilarious way. hahahaha!!! KK VS AA? Lets give my opponemt a 9, a 10, a j and a Q!! funny right! lolZzlzlzZL!!

another different 2 hands i posted on the forum 200bb deep again. lol?!
anway ive had a revelation a few days ago and im like the god of 6 max micro stakes now. see my bb! WHO WANTS COACHING?! i find the games now ridiculously easy whereas a couple of weeks ago i was struglling at stars.
So i just played in a $2 nl 2-7 wcoop proving grounds tournament for 8 hours where stars is testing their tournament structures for the wcoop events that are new and they are requesting feedback about them. I wrote stars an email where I find the bottom to be really interesting in terms of suggestions and if you like the idea you should email them about it too.
Hey guys I just played in your $2 wcoop proving grounds tournament semi-regretfully because I didn't see what I was getting myself into. I played for 8 hours straight and came in 8th place after eventually getting frustrated and actually getting it in with the best although I know it was misplayed. First of all, I realize that most of the feedback you're probably gonna get here is mostly worthless because it's a $2 tournament however if there is some way you can check my history you can see that I'm a winner and have a huge huge amount of experience playing even if I never made the big times.
With all of that said the structure of your tournament is sick. It's really geared in such a deepstack way that I'm pretty sure you're gonna see only really high quality players @ your final table. This is really good in my opinion but I think at the same time you're gonna see a 18+ hour tournament which would be very acceptable in say a $5k buyin tournament but for a $215 tournament I think that this is really bad. If that's something that you guys are going for I guess it's fine but I'm pretty sure you know your time windows and how long approximately things should last. In my own opinion as a poker player 12 hours is grueling and probably sufficient and anything after that should start to be considered for multiple day events.
Just my own two cents on the whole situation
gl with your wcoop and you guys should run wcoop main event proving grounds for like $100 or something cause I love deepstacked tournaments and I know I have huge edges there.
Actually, What if you guys ran tournaments that started @ the same identical time to every wcoop event with the same structures but on a much smaller scale buyin wise. Like instead of $215 how about $21.50 or something along those lines. I think that would be really actually quite attractive to most of the microstakes guys in a contrast similar to the sunday 200g and the sunday million. You could even add competitions with prizes based on TLB scores in the regular and smaller buyin tournaments for the entire series which also would be _extremely_ cool and probably promote some revenue as guys who normally wouldn't play in a razz tournament might find himself in it just to scrape together some points.
I love you guys at stars and you're awesome

such a bad beat playing in a $2 deepstack though i made $5 for 8 hours of work, fuck my life.
In America, we have 400 million citizens. 31,000 people die from gun related incidents every year. 55% are from suicide. That means that 17,000 people are murdered by guns.
"The 31 states that have "shall issue" laws allowing private citizens to carry concealed weapons have, on average...a 19 percent lower murder rate"
So in states that have concealed carry... 19% lower murder rates. Nationwide this would mean that 3,240 lives would be saved with the murder rate was lower and in states where the murder rate is lower there are concealed carry licenses.
I'm down for saving 3200 lives per year. i don't get it, liberals want to save whales and polar bears...but not the human species. I thought we were on top of the list... btw...
Polar bears can swim steadily for many hours in order to get from one piece of ice to another. They have water-repellent coat and partially webbed feet, which both are adaptations to swimming. Although known individual bears have only been recorded swimming about 100 km or so, they are likely capable of swimming much further if necessary.
suck a dick you propaganda feeding al gore bitch. wtf.
States that allow registered citizens to carry concealed weapons have lower crime rates than those that don't.
True. The 31 states that have "shall issue" laws allowing private citizens to carry concealed weapons have, on average, a 24 percent lower violent crime rate, a 19 percent lower murder rate and a 39 percent lower robbery rate than states that forbid concealed weapons. In fact, the nine states with the lowest violent crime rates are all right-to-carry states. Remarkably, guns are used for self-defense more than 2 million times a year, three to five times the estimated number of violent crimes committed with guns.
god i can't believe i used to be this flaming homo liberal...not saying i'm conservative, i think conservatives are closed minded idiots afraid of change, but liberals don't even make sense
