other than that, i saved myself quite a bit of money at the tables tonight, jesus. omaha 1/3 - button, 5 limps i have qqjj double suited, i pot. 7 callers. flop comes out kxx two hearts, 4th to act pots, i end up folding cause no draws. him and another get it in. aaqq double suited v aakk double suited. still up a couple of buyins for the month with the low volume i have. next year, i want to hit up the wsop circuits in the south, though, i'd try to sell some action to some regs around town.
>play PLO
>getting coolered every time i have a set, straight, flush, full house, or quads
>im getting coolered multiple times with quads
>just within typing this i get coolered with q flush v k flush
Cooler after cooler after cooler. I'm at the point where I have no idea if I was playing bad or playing good. I sit there, laugh my ass off that I'm about to get coolered again, but still have to play it the same way, and then wham, on the river, there's the cooler. I try to set traps, get coolered. I play and get it in good, get coolered. I even tried getting it in bad, and I still get coolered. (kt high v k9 high) (yes, they called with kt high on the river in PLO)

i can't believe how tilted i am right now
honestly the entire fucking city scene is about to die
and the last couple of games there are left there happens to be one person who makes it 10bb+ pre blind every fucking hand and when the people who want to actually think about what they are doing see this guy, they take their money and leave. ive never seen anyone get so fucking lucky every fucking time he played. ive never seen people walk out of a game at the sight of someone, and now it's killing too much action.
osgiq is now osgb
egle (eagle shipping?) went up 2k% a couple days ago
im waiting for osg to go down to less than a buck before I get in, but I'm not totally sure if it's going to go down there or not.
i want to be able to get into a shipping company that deals with international frieght (water transport) since the lift on the ban of energy exportation has been lifted in america and the first tanker has already shipped out this year for the first time in like 50 years.
the products they are going to be shipping is refined crude?, though to be able to refine that, there needs to be infrastructure, which is currently being built. from refineries to the keystone xl, there is a lot of upgrading already going on. however, currently, there has been a supply block of unrefined crude to be able to be refined. (again, could be nat gas or something, but im sure it's crude) this caused prices of gas at the pump to go up, along with other goods like grains, since the amount of unrefined crude on trains, which is the current method of transporting the commodity until keystone gets built, has cut short the space other commodities can use.
since this is all starting to come into place more and more every day, we've seen prices of gas drop at the pump, and it will continue to drop. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we went under 2 bucks a gallon, and I'd be marginally surprised if we down under a full dollar.
I've said that all of this has an impact on Russia, and that's why they are acting out in Ukraine. I think they want to be able to get a port so they can increase their exports. opec has had a lot of inner friction, which means brics is gonna probably be having friction, as well.
one question to ask is who is going to be buying our share of the market now that we are taking it up? well, that's actually pretty easy: europe. they were already buying from russia, but since the deal with ukraine, russia has been straining its ties with the eurozone.

>"we have been able to reduce bad player behavior by NOPE %"
It's like when you know the other person in the hand with you is a fucking idiot and for some reason, they just get there every time against you and no matter how bad they play, they keep winning over and over and over and there's never anything you can do about it because it's destined for the rest of time that you get mopped the FUCK up. You just don't play against them, ever.
>have dried pinto beans

This is a question that I have asked myself many times and the fact that I am asking the question at all would confuse an awful lot of people. I play poker so I must be a “poker player” would be many peoples reply. Of course there is some truth to that as anyone that plays poker is technically a poker player but that isn’t what I was referring to. When I say “poker player” then I am referring to being a “natural poker player”. I think natural poker players simply take to the game and have to do far less work than other people.
For example you have already mentally evolved before you come into poker and because poker is a mental game then any issues that you have away from poker will be highlighted within the game itself. So if you are easily bored then you will probably become easily bored at the poker table. Also what about compulsive behaviour? If you are prone to compulsive behaviour by way of over drinking, over eating or anything else then you may have problems controlling your behaviour at the poker table.
At its very core then poker is a simple game although it has the capacity to be complicated immensely, it is just that as humans we tend to automatically complicate things. Also because a human being is many times more complex than a poker game then what we have is a relatively simple but easily complicated poker game played by unbelievably complex entities.
This is why poker can be so frustrating for many people because of the fact that it can seem unbelievably complex. At its very core then we need to concentrate on three key areas to be a poker player.
These are our overall poker system, this is our style of play that we end up playing after we have studied all that we can about the game. What we end up with is our poker game and this poker game will either be good enough or not good enough to make us money……that is the bottom line. Most poker games will need to have certain environments for them to be able to make money. For example depending on your level of experience and ability then your own game may need to be played at a level that is no higher than NL25.
Even then if your own destructive personality traits are holding you back then you may struggle to make any kind of meaningful money. The next question is when you have found a way of playing poker to then estimate your edge. This is more difficult than what it sounds which is why I have designated two ways to go. The first is to use conventional theory and hope that your opponents or a number of your opponents do not know it. The problem with this way of playing poker is that you can find a way of making money fairly quickly but the profit potential will be limited.
Conventional poker theory isn’t called “conventional” for nothing and years ago then the data that you had may have been sufficient to make money on its own but not anymore. So I think that the biggest edges in poker these days are gleaned from understanding theory in an un-conventional way. While this may not ultimately work for many people, it at least allows you to do something different to what the masses are doing which I think is very important. I think that if you play like the masses then your results are going to be broadly similar.
I simply cannot stress this often enough. You are better off thinking about the game differently even if you end up going down a few blind alleys along the way. However if you are working very hard on your game and you still find that your results are not what they should be then there is every possibility that you are simply not cut out to succeed in the modern world of online poker against the new breed of shark. Learning theory simply isn’t enough unless you want to recycle money.
In the games that I play in, most players tend to have a good grasp of poker theory at levels as low as NL25. So this means that getting an edge in terms of knowing more theory is difficult. In full ring cash games then you need to devise a solid strategy based on what your opponents are broadly doing. If you can learn to think strategically in poker rather than merely on a hand to hand basis then you may just find that you can make considerable money from the game. Any player that can make $60/hour and find 40 hours per week to play online is an absolute monster in online poker.
