So i watched one of my old nl200 videos and WOW I was a freaking nutjob sicko back then. I knew all of the regs on cake so well, I was like valuebetting 3rd pair, 4betting a 3b with air, just all over the place sicko amazing imo.
I had such confidence back then. I remembered what it was like after finishing it; I seriously thought there was no one with an edge on me in any game i ever played in bar a few of the highstake regs that set in games when there weren't higher tables to play on. I tried my best after finishing to bring myself to that mindset where everything was clear and a possibility. I decided to play on cake again and ran like jesus dude.
I think im gonna play 10k hands today, get my haircut and then fucking celebrate and get trashed.
Most people aren't mentally strong enough to be professional poker players. When you run bad or get coolered 10 times in a row, dont look for pity or sympathy that will just feed your weak mental state. When you can turn your emotions off, you will reach the next level in your game.
I'm going to cry here, if you want to bitch about me crying get out.
I haven't had a winning session in over 2 weeks. Even fish win sometimes, what the fuck? I put in the longest session, try my absolute hardest and can look at my opponents play and see leaks in nearly all of them. I am not playing too many tables, I'm not doing nothing wrong in my opinion and I can't even beat nl50. It's so incomprehendably demoralizing and upsetting to me that I cannot win. I dunno what is going on, I know what winning play is and I still believe somewhere down there in my heart that I am on that echelon of play but really this is just getting out of hand.

So I accidently fucking deleted my blog post that I had started to write.
So anyways, I played poker about full time for 6 weeks this summer on a stake. End of July I cashed out and traveled to the US (chicago) for 4 days to do some fall shopping. So I bought a ton of clothes for my new job etc.
Anyways when I got home it was time for the yearly golf tournament that I've blogged about before. About 160 guys get invited every summer to play golf (about 60 play). So its all about having fun, and drinking. We start at 6 AM, and end at 3-4 AM. So almost 24 hours of drinking.
Anyways I'm working at an IT company called IBS, and found an apartment in Stockholm. I'm paying 8k (SEK) for it though, so its kind of expensive. Im thinking about starting to train MMA, I did Krav Maga when I was in the army.
Anyways I'm back playing mtts again on a stake, so please let me & my stakers run good!!!!!!
****BTW anyone want to stake me for WCOOP #43 215 NLH - PM and we'll work something out****
WCOOP $530R tomorrow, I'm putting $1530 in, can't afford more than that, if I need a double rebuy whomever can send me 1k (we would have msn, i have the 1k to cover but you would need to send immediately, hh would be posted if i were to lose my intial buy-in) (1k of 2500), you can check my http:://twitter.com/neillyaa or my aim for my recent results, +35k last 30 days
You can ask quocy04, night01, slog4[pG], nazgul, artanis11, lostaccount and whamm! as well as many others to attest to my personal character if you fear that you woudln't recieve your 45% if I rebuy, I can assure you I am 100% trustworthy (these are players that the community knows that I've met atleast once)
hey guys. I was here doing my usual session review, studying a little bit, watching videos and wondering about the changes that I have to make on my game before I feel totally comfortable to move up to NL50. about the BR, I'm already rolled for it, but I really think that I should improve my game before moving up. by wacthing some cardrunners videos of NL50 I realized that the game change a bit there. there's a lot more 3bets light, bluff here and there, more regulars, the game starts to not be based on only exploiting the fish. I just watched a VERY good video by Zaitsev, a cardrunners coach, about the myth of the redline: "trying to increase your non-showdown winnings on NL50 is unprofitable". He shows how increasing ur NONSDW improves a lot ur winrate, and he actually show a lot of spots where u can exploit that. Personally I feel that its not just this that I got to improve in my game. Sometime I play very weak and passive, sometimes I miss value in some spots, well, there's a lot of things I have to work on, but the redline is the one that is making me wonder the most. Increasing my redline means that I will have to change a lot my game I really pick the rights spots to take medium size pots double barrel more, raise more and stuff. I really would like to hear some thoughts about how some of u guys managed to go thru this change. Should I start experimenting some plays in NL25? I don't wanna be a mediocre winner. I'm decided to beat the game, in every stake I intent to play, and NL50 is the next step. any advice? thoughts? share experiences?
thanks
ps: if any of u are interested in the video, the name of the serie is "The myth of the redline" by Zaitsev

$530 6max Rebuy $530 + rebuy + addon = $1530 + 1000 incase of need of rebuy = $2500. If I do not rebuy, I will send the 1k back at break (Artanis11 can vouch for me that I've done this for him on multiple occasions)
If I lose $2500, we will be on AIM / MSN, your choice, and we can decide to continue or not, HH's will obviously be posted if rebuys are needed. (I play mostly rebuys and they are my bread and butter many people say, I do not gamble in rebuys over $11, but I will call off with 99 if two people are gambling everyhand for a stack *cupcake ne one*)
(I play 6max when not MTTing and will send you my graphs upon request, and have a few repuable sources such as Night01, SLog4[pG], quocy04 and gsr_01_integ that can vouch that I play a strong TAG style.
I will start with the rebuy and the largest stack possible, I play for first, I will give you HH's of any recent tournaments I've won.
I've won $30,000ish in tournaments up to $162 field in the last 30 days.
I Want 10% up to final table
20% FT
30% 3rd
40% 2th
50% 1st
$1530-$2500 investment, I have many reputable names such as artanis11, lostaccount, whamm! night01, nazgul and others who can vouch for my character upon me sending you your share of the first place prize.

hey guys, whats up. been screwing around for quite awhile, moving around the country, basically just being a travelling bastard while taking time off from school.
decided it's time to start taking poker seriously again. moving to the city very very soon, and instead of grinding out 9-12$/hr for 40h/week, figured i should start taking poker seriously again. basically, i'm a lazy asshole and i really dislike work and i want to get the most utility out of anything as possible. so in the whole making-money regard, poker sounds like a good plan.
sadly, due to my huge fucking-around for the last while, my BR is in the shitter. currently at ~500. intend on playing nl25 until ~1000 then nl50. once i hit 1500, i'll start cashing out multiples of 200-400-whatever until i have my CC completely paid off and roughly 1000 in the bank.
once i have that shit all done, i'll take shots at nl100 once i hit ~3000.
am extremely unsure how long all of this will take, but i'm confident i'll be able to hit the 1500 plateau sooner rather than later and start cashing out/setting up the room in the city. will probably get a desk/new bed off of kajiji so it'll probably only cost ~400-500 for both, but i'd like to have another small chunk of change in the bank for random shit that comes up. already have internet/cable in the apartment and am paying for that shit too, so since i'm paying bills for an apartment i have yet to live in full-time, i might as well work my ass off for a week or two and head up there.
anyways, i'm gonna be updating pretty often i think. post graphs/whatever every other day just to keep myself motivated.
as of now, i'd consider myself successful if i played 5k hands a day.
i've only been playing 1-2 hour/day this month. playing the $13 6max turbos.
I really want to get the $1k instant cash bonus, and to do this i need to make 62K fpps. So i need to make something like 4,445 fpps/day for the rest of this month; so i need to now be playing at the $25 6max turbos and play 127 sngs/day.
fml how am i gonna do that when i've just been playing 1-2 hours/day!!! Time to stop partying and start grinding imo.
So... I just started playing NL25 and I'm already thinking about moving up to NL50. When I moved to NL25 my BR was already over 1k and I wasn't sure if I should move up or not but when I asked u guys what I should do basically everyone said that I should move up and that in the future I should move up with 25-30 bi's. Now my BR is over 1.5k so today I decided to take my first NL50 shot opening only 4 tables. Well I think I played very well, but a couple of suckouts made me end the session half bi down when the EV says that I should be almost 1 bi up. That didn't afect at all. I closed the NL50 session and played some NL25 that I really feel like I'm dominating.
the worst suckout of my first NL50 session, keke

semptember so far
maybe I delay a little bit the NL50 to cash out some money, since I deposited $150 in february I never cashed out one cent, keke
I think I will cash something like $300 just so I can say that I really made some money with poker keke
NL25 - NL100 - $10,500 online 60-120 min sessions for cashgames
Play for hourly in cash, only up to NL100 until 2010, then sweats w/ some great players to see if I'm ready to move up to NL200 (Rolled for it, but dare not try again after my previous failures until I put in at least 100k+ hands at NL25-NL100 6max again, been a while since I've been playing both MTT and 6Max regularly)
Supernova FPP bonuses should add to 3-6k a month from playing cash plus profits, along with any tournament scores
1-3 days MTTs (when encouraged to play more than 5 hour sessions)
Save enough to start renting a house to own in ellicotteville NY (amazing ski city)
$50k by Jan 1st and decide
I have arranged a coaching deal with one of the best players in the game today for a good deal
Other than that, chillin back in Altoona PA, lookin to take some trips to state college and party and meet some cool players / people around my area (state college is like 90 min drive)
Off to go play some NL100
(if I lose 2 days in a row at NL100, i drop to NL25, rebuild confidence and work back up to NL100), bankroll preversvation and confidence is extremely important
Lots of hard work and a good amount of luck has really paid off this past 6 weeks. At least SakiSaki can stop trying to discredit me now -_-
Unfortunately won't be getting it to above 0 anytime soon because I'm moving to FTP. Stars 2/4 games are mega lame with the huge amount of short stackers and uber nits.
