I was searching some sutff at my computer when I found a unfinished video of my old counter-strike team, back when I played CS pro. My nickname there was "tutz" or "tutao" but I don't think you can see it there cause the quality sucks @ youtube.
This is was gonna be our third movie... too bad our lineup couldn't stick too long and I never finished this video.
from 0:52 to 1:20 and 1:27 to 1:43 there is no video, just some guidelines I had put there to help me, so if you want to see this vid just foward that parts.
those were some good times, I made some great friends
Just wondering how many ppl on LP like different kinds of art and shit. I have a buddy that does all kinds of different kinds of abstract art and shit and different sand art(he draws different kinds of designs in the sand) im current waiting on his sandisk full of different art he has sale and wasnt sure if LP was worth uploading some of his work or not. so im going to do a poll and see how many ppl out there are actually inclined see or not if its worth it
Poll: Art
(Vote): Id like to see some nice art and maybe if there was something i like id buy it
(Vote): nah its a waste of time no one looks at art
(Vote): i always like to see nice art but never buy it
Hi LP!
From now on I’m gonna post reports every month. For those that don’t know May was my first month as a MTT grinder. I took some time to adapt my schedule and I’m sure I didn’t put the volume I’m capable of.
Some cool hands. I am sitting in the 6 Seat. Guy in the 8 Seat is a Young White Guy.
He has a neat haircut, pretty preppy clothing...A pink polo that is fitted and "nice" pants, a metallic, silver watch. His girlfriend is preppy as well, and is pretty good-looking. He seems like a guy with a decent job that knows a little bit about poker. But I don't think he's very good...I've seen him open to like 4x once or twice, and there was a multiway pot where he led from the blinds. Also, when the waitress asked if anybody wanted a drink, he requested a "Cornoaaa with Lime Pleaaase" in such a girly way haha. He is the baby-face type. Just based on profiling, seems like a person I can run over a bit.
I think Seat 10 was the Button. Anyway I'm dealth AhJh. I open from EPish I guess to 5x. The dude calls and we also get a caller from the Blinds. So the pot is roughly 30. Flop comes 7 5 2 R. Anyway guy from the Blinds Check. I think about it and though its dry I just feel alot of times I'll get called from Ace Highs and Pairs, and I can probably try and show down. I check. The dude Bets like 15. Guy from Blinds Folds. I think about it and I think he is stabbing at the pot a ton of the time here. Im getting 3:1 on a Call. But if I do call I'll be OOP and need a plan. I decide I'll call, and if I hit my A or J I'll just play for my card value. If a good card comes on the turn for me to make a play, I'll do that. If its a bad card, I might Check/Fold. Turn comes a 3 Putting a 2 Flush Out there. I pick up a Gutter, and still have outs on my A and J. I feel like the guy is pretty weak on that flop and If I make a Big Bet I am able to rep some werid hand like 33 or a straight (They probably can't hand read well and I think I have just the image of an aggro online kid). So I decide a check/call Lead Turn line is a cool so I led out for 50 Into 60. He quickly folds. I show the bluffs then head off to lunch! Haha that was a sweet feeling.
I sucked out hardcore one hand. I had AdJd I opened EP. (There was so many fishes at the table I defintitely get called with worse). Anyway, an Asian guy that is slightly over weight to fairly new to the table min-3bets me to 20x. We Pick up a caller from the blinds. I call getting 5:1 odds, hoping to pick up a strong draw or spike an ace. Anyway Flop comes Qx Ts X(Spades). Anyway the guy in the blinds check. And I just decide, I'm going to make a crazy play at this pot, lol. If I give the guy who 3-bet a range of AK+,JJ+, He has 11 nonspade AK, 3 QQ, 6 KK, and 3 AA, and 3 JJ. He has exactly 1 PSB left, $60. I felt if I shove he folds his 11 AA and 3 JJ. So I win the pot like half the time, and I do have an Ace out against KK and I have a gutter against his entire range. I dont have a backdoor flush draw, but whatever! Anyway I just put that guy all-in. He calls. Guy in Blinds fold. Turn comes a Jx and River Ks. I make my straight an announce I have the nuts. Guy turns over Trip Queens.
Karma comes around to bite me back though. Theres a new player to the table. He JUST sat. He is a hispanic guy with "Trendy" Glasses that is slightly overweight. He Opens to about $22 Dollars. He only has about $70 or so behind. Super Fish from Late Middle Position Calls. I wake up in the blinds with AcKd or something like that. And I just figure this guy based on how he looks probably opens pretty wide here. Just the fact that he opens to $22 first hand, I just feel like hes openeing widish there (Since its just a retarded open...Its either he wakes up with a sick strong hand first hand AND is the type that plays super exploitive with his bet sizing on those hands, or he is just clueless...in which case AT LEAST AQ is in his range... Not that even if its a standard opening range I don't ship. But I felt thattt much better about it. I ask how much he has and then I raise to $100. He decides to call with JTcc. The super fish folds. He Spikes a T on the turn and I lose the pot.
The hand I won a bunch of money on was when I opened QTdd really early on in the session. I cbet a Diamond, Ace high board pretty big and I got Called from this old guy. "Post-Game Analysis" of the hand, this guy reallly really really was suspicious of my aggression LOL. Turn was a low card, Heart Brick. And I checked and he checked behind. River was a low card Diamond. I shove like more than $100 dollars or something and he calls with Pocket Deuces LOL.
I won a decent amount of money for the session, which is nice.
Anyway I learned something good today. There was a young online-player that was pretty solid to my direct right. He seemed like a nice guy. Anyway he was really good at paying attention to all the hands at the table. So this motivated me more to do the same. And I realized he was better than me at doing this than I was. So I worked on improving on processing information during observation. I think I develop a decent "technique I guess" to think more efficiently about how the players at the table play. I'll practice this in later sessions, as it seems sort of promising.
Also, I played online for 1 1/2 hours this morning. Strangely my VPIP PFR stats were nittier. 34/28, 13.4% 3-bet over 185 hands. I was just taking what the table was giving me. And I was playing profitably. I'll be honoest I like playing alot of hands. And it makes me sort of sad to see me playing nittier LOL. But of course I will just do what I feel is most profitable at any point in a hand. Anyway my after my blog posts about developing aggressive style, my win-rate at online have been pretty good actually. Esp considering I lost ALOT of "Relative Money" in some seriousssssssss spews that I know I am much much better than. Once I get good enough, I'll start adding more tables, etc. Its going to be hard balancing practicing online and live at the same time, while also making time to study poker. Fwiw my brother is here for the week and once he leaves I'll have alot more peace and quiet to get into a good routine.
Anyway its always nice to blog after live sessions. I love the personal feeling of recounting my hands. Doubt many of you will have read this far. But to those of you who did I hope you enjoyed it somehow. I'll be strangely impressed by anyone who says "FPS on the AdJd Hand"...Just cause they took the time to read that, lol. FWIW I completely forgot about AA being possible when I made the play. (Completely discounted AQ But Iono I thought that was fine. Might be a ranging-leak but Iono Its an aggressive discount but its "Possible" that he never does that with AQ). Anyway yeah. Cool.
BSOP is the Brazillian Series of Poker www.bsop.com.br
It happens every month in a different city. Next month its gonna be in a city two hours away from where I live. I just recently became a MTT grinder and I've been doing well I think (look at my last blog posts and the Rail Heaven section).
tutz_aml @ PS
tutz_x @ FTP

Thanks!
ok so im almost all done getting my comp all set up and shit and im having probs getting the postgreSQL i dont know the set up shit or something i have everything dl but i cant get past the shit on the postgreSQL is anyone good at this shit that can help me out here im so close to getting done and getting back on the grind and this shit drive me crazy
Well ive got the disk to reformat my comp now. i have a couple questions if anyone out there is good at this stuff
1. i dont know where the note file is kept on pokerstars cant seem to find it anywhere
2. i have the disk to reinstall windows but i have all the drivers copied onto an external hard drive and when it will ask for the drivers disk how do i access the drivers files from my external hard drive?
other than that i hope to have my comp working today and be back to the grind so please help me out here LP
Probably a tougher read than most. I figure its a good book to discuss with others.
Anyone want to form a study group? Or if your strong at math (and also good at poker) and wouldn't mind me annoying you via msn or aim, I'd really appreciate someone to discuss parts of the book with.
I have hordes of gold chips/gold cards on cake and just won a seat to this and it happens on may 30th. Cake runs insane amounts of sats to this tournament and if it's what it used to be like it's ridiculously soft because of the immense number of sats.
anyone wanna buy up to i dunno 75%ish of it? Could use the money in more realistic ways than to gamble on a shot, always gotta leave urself outs imo.
if you wanna check my opr or whatever it blows, i run permanently bad @ tournaments... my best score is like 50th in the sunday mil for 2.2k
used to play sngs/cash for a living though! fuck you tournament pros with unreal patience @ life
edit - alternatively, i'll sell the whole ticket and you can play it on my account for $240
I make some mistakes in spots that cost me alot of money. Most of my losses are from stuff that I feel like if I work hard I can get away from my mistakes. The style really gets you in a bunch of close spots, and to be able to play it I have to hand-read effectively enough to get away from them. Its a really fun way to play I think and I hope to be able to use it profitably [Against the right opponents]. Of course, I would also need to have TAG in my skill-sets as well and just use whatever works at the time.
Anyway...Here are some hands I wanted some help with. If you were at the table, what kinda insight would the mentioned hands give you about how the player plays? How would you adjust? (Theres Some Information Regarding Each Hand way at the Bottom. Its not much but Its probably better to read it before or while lookinga t the hands).
A side Question I have was When you are Thinking about Preflop Ranges, How do you group the Broadways so its organized? Like when people Say JT+ or KJ+ I confuse myself into thinking it goes up by Jacks, Tens, or Connectors Ex Goes up by JT,JQ vs JT,QT,KT, vs JT,QJ,KQ. What do you guys use to organize this?

Hand 1 Information :
I have an aggro image but he is new to the table. He has seen me play probably only about 5-6 hands. Hes seen me Fold to 3-bet twice in a row when the guy to my left 3-bet.
And The first time he raised button I 3bet him and he folded
He is playing 4 tables and when he button raised that first hand i pegged him as a TAG
Hand Two Information:
I think he has been at the table long enough to realize I am trying to win alot of pots.
The Hand before I think he did something like Flat A6o from BB Before and Take a Check/Call Turn line and Check Back River on an AcJc7x and then I forget what the Turna nd River were but they were Bricks ( I raised the button).
