Tonight I decided to join 4 HU tables and play my best, and ran into a few guys who donated alot.
A great night to say the least, heres some of the hands from tonight;
vs mam - http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/323759
open on the button with A6s, get called and he minraises on the flop. I call w/ pot odds and figure hes on smthing like QTo. The turn brings me a FD so i 3bet him and take the pot down w/ out showdown.
Flop is dry as heck and I figured he missed so I check to induce a bluff. He checks behind and turns top pair. From here on I get some value and take it down.
couldn't see him having an ace here, he was a bit maniacle. I thought i was up against a strong combo draw, NFD or smthing. Rivered the 2nd nuts and took down a nice pot.
FTP has been treatin me really good,
Running well and playing well,
NL50 is boring and I wanna play NL100, but i'm 500 dollars away from being sufficiently rolled
I tried playing $25+2 9 man sng but after two sessions broke even.
I also need to stop cashing out (I'm -700 the past two weeks from cashouts) and not to mention I had to ship 500 to gawdawful. Wtf, I should be playing like nl200 almost.
anyways, someone give me the ability to run hot for one session at something and win $500 so I can play nl100 and also give me the ability to quit cashing out.
Well almost, after my epic tilting session where i dropped half my br i decided to drop more today due again to tilty play. Then i registered to some high buy in tournaments where i busted at the 60th place.
I really have some major issues with tilt, maybe cuz i take the game too seriously and get frustrated to get run over by idiots.
Anyway, i have $199.60 on fulltilt and $176.41 on Pokerstars. Never lost so much money in my life in such a short time span, it's painful but i don't give up. I will NEVER give up, i'll keep playing and grind back every penny.
But first i need to lick my wounds and i'll spend the end of november reading poker books and watching every single videos on CR. Come back in shape and hopefully this time i'll be able to reach my second milestone: $10k.
That's all, i think it will be my last entry until next year, hopefully my LP buddies (ggplz, critterer, nutshot) will run good until then and i wish you all the best at the tables... see you in 2k8 !
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/322667 - Hmm, had raised his limps a million times and he just kept folding post flop. I think I need to bet a little more on the turn, since I guess I have to shove a blank river if he checks to me..
I dunno, he's veryveryvery passive from what I've seen. I didn't want to get check C/R AI after making a huge turn bet, and I kinda thought he probably had a not so great hand.. Which doesn't make sense with the river shove but I figure if he calls the turn, he shouldn't fold river unless he has like a flushdraw, in which case he's folding regardless.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/322492 - Hm, I actually almost timed out here, but I thought he was in the blind, not UTG limper. AJ, KJ, QJ, TJ etc are much more likely from the BB IMO. Also had no history and IIRC he'd not done much, anyway. Wee, snapcall 2 streets and open shove river.
Ok, now that I hit goldstar I've ordered a Wii (weeee) and it's probably time to stop playing on stars (maaaan I don't want to quit, maybe I should just move to the UK so I dont have to pay taxes ).
If anyone wants Red9s $ and has money on Stars (or InterPoker, dunno if it's possible to do site transfers on InterPoker tho) I'm looking to move about 7k~ (a little less) off rednines. Red9s doesnt technically have inter site transfer either but I think it's possible by contacting their support.
I want to dodge the currency conversion fee that I have to endure due to my Red9s money being in $ and my Neteller account being in euro.
So shoot me a pm or something. If you are an ex-TL.netter I post as FrozenArbiter on there, I dunno if that adds credibility vis a vis money transferring but at least you know I've been around the TL/LP community for a few years
not really the best game to showcase lol. but wow >insane< difference for 2Moons (went from unplayable to playable on maxed settings with occaisional trace lag in town (see last pic, town is crazy big and full)).
so i was playing a live game yesterday with my brother. $20 buy in for 2000 chips with 1 $20 rebuy. and the people i'm playing with have a little side game where if you have the absolute nuts, you get to slap whoever is in the hand on the showdown.
i had 66, flop is like jqx rainbow, i fire on the flop, one person calls. we both check until the river, which is an 8. he checks, i check and flip over my hand...and he dramatically flips over 9 10, and everyone is getting all excited and i'm like "WTF!!?!?" and so everyone pulled out their camera phones and recorded me getting slapped...
bought into a $150 tournament at the casino today full of typical live degen losers. There were 125 entrants and the first place prize of 6k or so was mine for the taking.
In the first hour I managed to acquire 9000 more chips than my initial starting amount of 6500, I also threw up a couple times in the bathroom at the sick bad play. People limping TT PF, flopping sets and check/calling every street was fucking terrible on my stomache.
Anyways, basically I was up to 70k and was 2nd or 3rd in chips with ~25 left and 12 paying. Blinds were sick huge relative to stack sizes (2k/4k) and some fag every time i raised would come over the top of me, I would fold and he would show AA/KK/AK/QQ every single fucking time, fucking faggot.
Anyways, break to the future, I'm sitting with 30k and 3k/6k blinds, 15 people left and the fag who raped me in every hand is in the sb, folded to him and he makes some insignificant raise, I look at my holecards, K3os, the fucking nuts. I instantly go all-in, he calls and shows A3, fuck him.
faggot sucked out obv and I went out in 15th place and miraculously donated every single one of my 70k chips to that guy. I'd seriously murder him right now if I could.
Havent written a blog in a while. Mainly due to the fact that LPERS are a bunch of nerdy obnoxious faggots. Of course everyone here will disagree with me. The biggest dislike I have with this site is the dumb fucking terms everyone uses.......heres my impression of an lpers blog............
Hey fellow lpers played a lot of $5/$10 hold em today with sick variance and bad beats LOL, here is my gayass graph for you to look at
SICK LIFE
Where the fuck did the term sick life come from. And who the hell wants to spend time reviewing your graphs. Cant you just write like a normal person. I just have one more thing to say..........
So I went to Palomar card room last night in San Diego to play some live poker. They got this nice little card room with 6 tables, running mostly No Limit Hold'Em. Their 5/10 game is a $1500 max buyin, so I sit with $1000 at around 10pm. This is what proceeds to happen:
I sit down in the middle of a hand, it was a raised pot... with 6 people seeing the flop. The board comes out 5-5-8, the player in the big blind fires out a pot size bet, the original raiser in the hand insta-snap calls, everyone else folds. Turn comes a 4, the big blind shoves, the original raiser holds his hand over his head and finally is like... "uugghh alright I call." The river is a Q, and the guy in the big blind tables 98o like it was the nuts... The original raiser looks at his hand and is like "It's good" then mucks. The fuck?
Very next hand, a short stack shoves for $120, another semi-short stack re-shoves for $400. Drunk gambling guy at the far end of the table is like "OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE HAND!!!" And calls. Everyone else folds and the drunk gambling guy shows 96s. The flop comes 5-7-8, BAM get the fuck out short stacks! And they say online poker is rigged.
So for the first 30 minutes I just sat and played tight, pretty much folded every single hand until I picked up KTdd on the button. There were two limpers so I raised, and both the limpers called (standard). The flop came Q-5-2 w/ one diamond, and both players checked to me so I decided to use my tight image to my advantage and made a standard c-bet. The first limper called and the other one folded, so at this point I was thinking he had some pair like 33,44,66-88. The turn came the Ad, and the player again checked to me. Since I turned the mega draw and I thought he had a hand I could push off, I decided to fire yet another barrel. The guy quickly (and yes I mean QUICKLY) called. The river came a 2c which totally ruined any chance to triple barrel bluff this moron. He checked and I checked behind and he tables 44. Huh? I felt sick mucking my hand.
Another hour passes by, I'm getting cold decked to the extreme, I pretty much couldn't pick up anything playable. On the other hand, the guy to my right ran like Jamie Gold the entire time I was there. He hit 6 sets when it went to showdown, flopped trips and straights multiple times with absolute shit cards. He was playing every hand so naturally he should be hitting some flops, but it really felt like this guy was hitting every freaking flop. It was pretty gross. So anyways, this guy ends up destroying the only player I thought might have been somewhat good in this hand:
The 'Good' player (I put it in quotes since he seemed like the only player capable of 2nd level thinking, although that really doesn't make you good in poker, it makes you a god in this game) raises UTG to $40, the guy to my right who hadn't folded a hand all night reraises to $600. Earlier in the night, the guy to my right made it some absurd amount like $500, after 4 players limped then he showed 83o. So the 'Good' player tanks forever, and then starts talking to the guy to my right. The guy to my right kept saying "If you call, do you want to check it down? huh? huh?" So finally the 'Good' player was like "Oh, that probably means you have 83o again" and he jams all-in for $4k more. The guy to my right insta Phil Hellmuth style fist pump snap calls and tables AA. The 'Good' Player flips up KK. I feel gross for the good player, flop comes K-Q-T. ZING! SHIP SOME JUSTICE ONE TIME!?! Turn 3. HOLD!?! River J... Doh! It was a pretty gross moment... but atleast the 'Good' player left.
3 hours into my session I was stuck almost $1k, had won a total of 3 pots the entire night, and I was bored out of my mind. I was trying my best to stay emotionally in control, but all these retarded plays paying off around me was driving me crazy. Finally I played my first big pot of the night when I was dealt AQs. This somewhat loose / aggro idiot raises in the CO so I reraise on the button, he calls. Flop comes A-9-9, he leads for 1/2 pot, so I flat call. Turn comes a 7 and he leads for 3/4 pot, so I tank for a little bit (not nearly half as long as some of these idiots were tanking for) and then called. River was a 9. He jams... I lol at myself, and realize I might be victim of the zeebo therom here, but whatever this guy was stupid so I called...
He shows KQo and is like "Good hand". "Thanks" I said. I'm back to even in one pot. LOL! I played for 4.5 hours total and ended stuck $50 which is like breaking even. I was pretty happy with my emotional control through out the session, as there were multiple times I could have just lost it and tilted myself broke but I didn't.
Cliffnotes:
1. Live poker is a joke.
2. People who play in casinos are totally retarded, and totally degen.
3. Being cold decked while playing live is similar to sitting in a warm bath tub with your wrists cut.

Fuck this game, right in the ass. i can't handle being stacked again and again for 1 week str8 with being a huge favorite each mother fucking time and not winning a single hand for a whole week. I dropped half my br on the tables so it's either i cash out the rest OR i take a break,i'll take a decision as soon as i cool down.
i seriously life tilting hardcore now after being DOUBLE ACES CRACKED simultaneously in the 2 tourney i was in including some retarded runner runner flush with Q6o this is so fucking sick i have to admit i can't take this shit anymore, FUCK !
update: 3 aces craked in less than 10 hands, someone call an exorcist !
I absolute outplayed PilsnKid in this hand, i know he 3 bets AK and is tight so AT is not a big part of his range plus i get to confuse many of his holdings with this line and might induce dumb plays by him as he did... stupid luck:
Terribly played by luckyhand, if he raises flop he would have put me in a tought decition, i know he is not flatting a set, god these donkeys suck so bad yet they win :<, i liked my AA play here a lot considering ht preflop action is quite small so im not commited a lot nor narrowed down his range much, but as usual good plays get rewarded by a bad beat:
And finally a hand where his line made no sense, he doesnt check turn here with any of the holdings that i think beat me, after several seconds of thinking i called.
