Fuckin donks. Had a baseball tourney in Oklahoma which is where i have to go if i want to play at a casino. Night one, i play for an hour on the 200nl(went with a group and they were playing slots/blackjack). When i sat down everyone was talking to each other about like life shit, "hey kevin, you buy that new car yet?". You know, shit like that. So i figured that i was at a table with a bunch of regs who knew what they were doing. Turns out, they're just all calling stations. All of them. I have only seen 1 other player that was a nitty fuck like me, trying to grind it out. I played 3 hands, won two nice pots, and won $91. I was SB w/ a straddler (prolly not spelt right? neither is spelt? spelled? i dunno fuck english). I get A8o and the new UTG limps, it gets folded to me, and i figure 1 limper, and two guys who are blinds...so i limp $3. got another limp and a check from the strad. Flop is 88T w/ 2 diamonds. I raise it to 20, 2 folds and a call. Turn was a 4, i bet 40, he calls. Riv was A, i made the mistake of betting too much (80) on an obv flush draw, and he folds. He thought about it for a while so i think if i bet like 40-50 he might call w/ a pair or something. The other pot i won i had JJ and board was 9 2 4 6 when i won it on the turn. So then i leave... and come back for night number fucking two.
I played 3 hands, lost 200 dollars. Fucking gay. First hand i tried to be some aggro guy on button and got re-raised all in by a tight player so i had to fold on a Q 10 8 rainbow flop. I had AKo, bet pot on the flop and got c/shove... wasn't expecting it... Next i had 66 and folded on a 55J flop, turns out turn and riv were 8 8 and i would have had 8's and 6's which was the winner. I wasn't to call, but didn't like the situation i was in. The hand that killed me was AQo on the button... i raise it to 12, get no respect/3 callers and they are all calling stations... Flop is K 7 10, everyone checks, i thought about trying to steal but didn't b/c i was short stack w/o a pair... turn is an A, guy bets 25, i called, riv is a 4, he puts me all in for 46, i call, and try to play slots w/ a dollar

Need a cheap coach to teach me headsup mostly 200nl and up i wanna be able to play 400nl regs and not be scared TBH. Would it be best to play just watch cardrunners videos or is someone who can teach you first hand better
So pinbaLL was at my place for the week, and we grinded together. I played a bunch of donkaments and he grinded cg. pinbaLL is a really fun and cool guy, and it's always nice to meet someone that you talk to over the internet.
We bought starcraft too, and I stopped playing 2001-2002 so I was "sort of" rusty. Now that I have starcraft I might log some games, the opponents are alot tougher nowadays, but its probably because I suck atm.
I've been running insanely bad in donkaments, pinbaLL saw how I was running and it's not fun. I consider myself to be a fairly decent donkament player, I asked pinbaLL alot of questions what he would do in certain spots to compare, and its nice getting a second opinion. So thanks pinbaLL, and I am also playing mtts on pinbaLLs stake, so let me run good once please.
Here are some of the hands I've busted with, whilst being fairly deep:
Been here a few days now. It's pretty baller. I can't get into much detail but so far I've encountered fairly attractive and young female South African diamond dealers, had a bizarre interaction with a few playboy playmates at breakfast earlier morning, seen two meth addicts get pwned by cops on the strip, and played in one of the most hilarious live sessions of all time with Milkman, Yomer, this proper British fellow Simon and Big Bob. We turned a 2/5 table into a drinkfest with me and yomer splitting black/red flops and the other guys taking high/lows. Yomer got kind of owned. There were two noob ass nit regs running all over the casino telling their grinder choad friends what a soft table it was.
They got their wigs rocked more or less and we basically busted the table and it broke after a couple hours.
I'm heading to LA today with a few dudes for a movie premier, should be sick baller. I got some friends from home in the area so hopefully I can come into contact with them. This will be my first time on the pacific ocean so I'm really psyched. This is actually my first time west of the mississippi in general.
I am just bumping my last blog where I was looking for a stake.
I can add on some stuffs. School year just ended, I had some Cuba Libres and beers, and I am ready to play. I would like to start as much as possible. I am still looking to start again on stake at micro limits, literally NL2/5/10/25
Thanks for the answer, hkbubbletea, about the stats and so on. I was using just some free PT to know my stats (VPIP and PFR), and never used PAhud, and that was one of my leaks, because I was just multitabling, and had just few reads and couldn't play on player, because I had no stats programs. I am planning to have PT3 trial for the start and then purchase it maybe.
I am better player on 6max, and my strategy on FR was the same as on six max, and that's the reason why I suck at FR. I was still playing some 21/15 on FR as I played on 6max and you know that it's -EV.
Now I am ready to play and do everything to improve my game and be successful. I hope someone will answer me and I will find something good
Pretty sweet really, I read LP a lot and didnt ever realize that not being able to comment on shit was painful. I start my new job in 7 hours and I'm pretty stoked about that. Uhh, further updates... lets see. I'm grinding NL2 poker wise (lol) I'm not really taking poker seriously for shit im sick of it, fuck poker. I met a new girl and I think i'll post a few pics. I dated her before but I just re-met her if thats a word and it's going alright. + Show Spoiler +
That's about that I guess...
The main reason i posted this is because i wanted to know if any of you play either of these games.

wish me luck :/
Hello guys, so I finally decided to make a blog about that I want to be staked. So what should I say, well I recently posted in my first blog post like everything about my poker career, and when I read it back and back again I really feel like a douche. When I am thinking about past 6 months I just can't believe it how I was "throwing money from the window" if I can say it like that.
As you might read I am micro stakes player, and I would like to be staked for NL2, NL5, or which I would prefer mostly NL10 or NL25. On NL25 I would be able to play 6max which I like more than FR, 6max is kinda bad to play at NL10 as I read somewhere, because of rake and such things. Maybe I am overreacting and NL25 isn't for me, but I just feel so.. Anyway, on every limit I mentioned it would be cool to find something.
What can I add, I already mentioned in my last blog that I am well prepared to play some serious poker and finally do something with my life, errr... I mean to create some goal and be a motivated to play. In the poker slang, I can say that my mind is ready.
All in all, I am honest to you guys, and I just hope that I will find something, because I don't have that much money to create some safe BR and I feel better to play on stake, which may be kinda weird, but that's just it.
Yeh, there will not be any good looking Asian girl this time, sorry
Shout-out to Baal and his country, it's really not as dirty as I stereotyped it to be. This past weekend I went to Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) randomly for some vacation time with some friends. I was basically 50/50 about going, then decided to just go with it and bought my ticket 8:00pm the night before for a flight that left Vegas at 7:50am. Pretty standard. So I arrived in Puerto Vallarta at 4:00pm in the afternoon, and converted $1,000 into $9,900 play monies... errr I mean pesos (Baal-lin!). Checked into a beach-side room at the NH Krystal Hotel and went directly out to the beach to take a nap. Here are some pics:
Beach side view from the middle lobby area of my hotel.
Pre Epic Sun Burn.
My friends arrived at the hotel around 8:00pm and we ended up just drinking and chilling in the jacuzzi tubs til 1:00am. The next day we went out to the pool area:
San Diego girls out in Mexico with me
The pool's wet bar, which was sooooo clutch
Sunset on the beach
For those of you who went to PCA, you would probably know this bar: Senor Frog's. The one in Bahamas is one of my favorite bars, and the one here in Puerto Vallarta was no disappointment either. Definitely a pretty awesome time.
Such an awesome sign

LOL @ Mexican who sneeks in on the left side of this pic
The boys and me
The girls and me
More drunk dancing
The next day we went downtown to shop and be standard dumb american tourists. Got a few fun souvenirs while I was there. While walking on the beach we saw a guy making these really cool rock formations. Note: These rocks arent glue'd together, the guy was just stacking them one on top of another. Sick balance?
Weird rock formations
Later on that night, we went to the night club (or "disco" as they say in Mexico) right next to our hotel called The Christine. For a $300 peso cover (approx $30 USD) we got a free table, and open bar all night. Sickest deal ever? It was pretty cool how they played a good mix of mexican and american music all night. Not really as upscale as some Vegas night clubs, but it definitly wasn't a shit hole. The place was built similar to The Bank at Bellagio, with the dance floor in the middle, and the tables circling around.
Two of my best friends
Tequila shots!
After one of the most awesome weekends I've had in a while, I left late Sunday afternoon and got back to Vegas at 8:00pm. Arrived home just in time to rail my roommate play his last 2 tables in the UB 200k gtd. After an hour long final table with big shots like AJKHoosier1 and ch0ppy, my roommate Thomas Gabriel (aka: plzlemmewin or GoGators86) took down the $45k for 1st place with help from some of his awesome roommates (*cough*). Pretty epic score. My next event at WSOP is going to be on Thursday, the $5,000 NLHE 6-max. Really pumped to play that! This break I had from Vegas should help clear my mind for it, so hopefully I can make something big out of that event.

At cash games... Felt like i was playing great + running good and that's awesome when it happens. Change from running bad and playing like shit obviously. My confidence is good right now hopefully, for each losing day, i have 4-5 winning sessions in a row, it really feel great when things go your way and the deck stop slapping you in the face for a couple of weeks.
I finally understand i can't play more than 4 tables at a time, that's my limit, there's nothing i can do about it. If i open more tables, my play becomes robotic and i turn into a big fat station. So 4 tables from now on, it's slow but at least i have time to think about every hand and overall my game doesn't suffer from massive multitabling. Hopefully i can build my roll to 10k, which will be a HUGE thing for me, right now i feel like i can do it and if i do, i'll grind like crazy to pump that up to the maximum i can reach.
Also, i noticed if play 4 tables, i can play for a looooong time, like 6-7 hours str8 w/o losing my focus which is weird since i can't focus more than 1h on something else. Something really change lately and my game sharpened a lot, I WANT TO SUCCEED AND I'LL WORK MY ASS OFF TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Been playing quite a bit of omaha the last couple of days, very low stakes (since I had an extremely rudimentary grasp of the game and am still at a pretty low level) but what a crazy game =P
Todays session:
Around the midway point I sort of realized I was playing a bit too many hands that I really wasn't doing too hot with, like maybe if I was twice as good I could play them from the positions I was playing them.. But not now =P So as if to show me their approval the pokergods activated a bit of a boomswitch and I stopped losing flips and 60/40s.
Anyway, some hands, I'm sleepy so might make an update later with hands I need help with.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/471870 - O_o I don't remember him seeing me do anything crazy. I mean, I have done quite a few crazy things during these sessions but still. I checked turn cuz it's such a scary card and he seemed like the type to attack weakness for sure.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/471739 - Pretty sure riv is a fold.. Unsure about turn but I guess if I have 2 aces, 2 queens, 9 flush outs... Not much in the way of implied odds tho =____=
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/471117 - Do I just keep betting? Crazy bluffs I can do but I get a bit weaktight when it comes to valuebetting.. Monsters under the bed and all that.
Yo guys I'm here again with a meaningless blogpost. I just feel I am supposed to write something about past few days lol.
So I started to play tennis. I'm really good at it but just for fun, I don't feel like turning to be a professional. I play almost every day since I started, for a hour or two, and I feel really exhausted and tired, because I wasn't into a sport and now I play and play... well I have to do something with my body so I will keep playing almost every day...I should start to work out on some gym machine or smth...
Today in the morning we had a school trip for two days and I skipped it, basically I just don't want to go because our teacher is a "bigfatass" lady with bigger "trashtalkmouth" than Mike Matusow have, and the organization of that trip was also very bad..as far as I know few of my classmates also skipped it so maybe we could hang out for a beer tonight, if i won't be outside with a girl I am trying to date with, she is so cute and so cool, mmmh I just want her so much ^_^
Even I feel tired from Tennis I can say my mind is ready to play some poker so maybe I will make some small deposit to play nl2 and get bored of it in one day, or I will look out for some possible stake deal, for nl10 or so, anyone who will be interested just PM me, I'd be happy...
At the hend of this meaningless blog post I will add a picture of some random Asian girl because they are the prettiest :Q except some hot european blondes...
