Hey there, I've just finalized my flight plans for my European adventure and have conclusive dates of when I'll be in what city.
I still haven't booked hotels because I'm hoping my friendly LP'ers could suggest some good hotels near popular nightlife areas for me! So here are the dates:
March 13th-17th - London, England
March 17th-20th - Prague, Czech Rep.
March 20th-24th - Amsterdam, Netherlands
I've never been to any of these cities, so any suggestions would be welcome. And if you're looking to meet up at any of these places let me know and we can work out plans. I'm also going to try to get to a football match or two so if anyone knows any good matches to check out or wants to come along let me know.
What a rip off, finished second for a sunday million ticket, ship 20$ instead of 500$. And the fucking fags i was heads up with luckboxed all the way, calling with shit and always hitting his cards. FUCK YOU !
Note to self: never ever register to a DS EVER AGAIN.
On a side note i had a nice day, won a 4$ 180 tourney and finished itm in another donkament for 50$.
Im so fucking steaming right now, i can lose to a better player but this is FUCKING BS RAWR ! i didn't have an edge on him i had the fucking Eiffel tower, FUCK YOU (BALTIMORE)! Fuck double shootout fuck it seriously... FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

hi lo. so i've been playing this lately... .01/.02 pl hilo... real ez game. two nights ago i ran $5 up to like 25, lost $20 of that at texas hold em in $2 HU SNGs and a stupid .02 table where people were pushing all in preflop...i lost two hands where i put $3 pre (QQ, rivered gutshot, 88, rivered pair) which brought me back down to $5, and i'm back up to $25 again after playing some hilo today and yesterday...but i don't really know what's good etc. people just like gettin taken to value town when you have the nuts.
so basically what should i be calling with preflop? how should i play draws...etc etc. you know, basic noobie questions. and i see like 4 people limping pre every hand, if i have a "mediocre" hand should i be limped also, or is it just raise/fold preflop
Played like shit last night, i tend to play solid at first then loose focus to MSN , surfing webs while trying to manage 3 tables, i need more focus and concentration! From now on, im going to just focus on the tables, no more msn and that bull shit

Im usually cool with folding KK, but i thought i had him. I think i should have raised the flop rather then checking and followed up with an over the top bet on the turn.

So i've decided i want to fool around with poker and see how far i can take it, and if i can take it far enough to use it as a source of income worldwide, no matter where i am. I've always thought of my self as an above average player and i love to gamble.
I was introduced to poker in the summer of 2005 by my friends much older room mate, he was also the first person to bring me to a "poker house" for a $60 dollar 2 table SNG (this was all new for me, i felt very intimidated everyone was at least 27+ , i was only 18) i was short stack in the final table, went All in with Ace-rag,lost.
Every since then i've been playing friendly home games with friends, some of them played online and introduced me to that. I deposited 50 and lost it all in two days playing .25/.50 way out of my range game wise and bankroll. After that i final tabled a 2500 man Free roll for 9th place ($100) but i lost it all again in .25/.50, i thought it was rigged and quit lol decided to continue with the home games.
Recently i met a long time friend of mine from Starcraft Brood War in real life, turns out he plays online for a living and is making roughly 100k a year. (WOW!)I was also aware a lot of ex-starcraft players had turned to poker and where killing it. Elky, Nazgul, Rekrul. Could there be some sort of similarity between Starcraft and Poker? (i heard about this site from teamliquid.net)
So my Starcraft friend [CF]Canibus , backed me for 50 bucks for the start of my poker career. Went up to 70 after some solid play, but foolishly decided to play drunk coming home from the club (learned i should only play poker sober now, no weed or alcohol) now i'm sitting on 63.
Last night i final tabled a 360 man $2 dollar tourney (what is this telling me ? I've only played about 4 tourney's in my poker career and final tabled two of them, this is making me want to pursue MTT play over Ring)I have to thank Scott Fischman and his book "ONLINE ACE" which I has given me a general strategy of how to play in each of the stages of MTT's and SNG's.
Heres how i lost at the final table.

I went to sleep satisfied after.
So here i am, just got home from school and a full night of poker ahead of me, i will post how i did later tonight. I really wanna post graphs and hands like some of the other people have done on there blogs, how do i do that?
P.S. What sort of poker programs should i be using to aid me?
is pretty easy. i dominate the 2 cent tables. up like $15 2 tabling for 2 or 3 hours, would've been up $25 but i lost a sick 3 way all in (board 10 3 2, two hearts, i had like 1010j9 or something i don't remember).
So I'm working in Copenhagen, and my office is just by the Casino, so thats pretty sweet. Ship it!
Anyways I went out and had dinner with sOah yesterday and that was fun meeting him, we went out and had a few drinks and I crashed the night at his place (thanks again Simon).
Today sOah and myself picked fazi up from the airport. I managed also to win the first propbet of the week against sOah (I run good) - ship it.
I'm looking foward to meeting the rest of the lpers coming down this week! It should be a good week.
locoo, Gummi, Hansen, Hansen Jr, luna_bluffgood and tomson (havent really spoken to the last two mentioned but should be good fun anyways). Oh and WiLLEt is also here so I'll try to meet up with him too. I'll try to update my blog with pics every day.
Ok i've been grinding on stars for a little bit on the cheap level finally built up a decent roll i have 122.00 on my poker stars acct that i built up from 8 dollars on stars beating all the fish on the really low levels...its time to move up i cant take playing low limits but i want to have a good br management on here i have about 36bi for a higher level and feel that its time to move up...the only thing here is that it will all be turbo tourney SnG not really used to playing any turbo's if anyone would like to chime in on any tips or hints on playing turbo SnG's and how to more often than not end up in the money i play 8 tables at a time so im a pretty tight aggro player waiting in the first 3 or 4 bl increases before loosing up on play other than that i play AA KK AK QQ only top hands and take adv of weak players in the early rounds other than that any tips please anyone feel free to reply it would be great
