Hello. I play poker from november 2008. Through that months i try to beat micro nl 6max holdem. Today i play nl50 with really low winrate or maybe even i have negative winrate. I watch a lot of dc videos and I figure out that couching is ev+. But my english skill is barrier for me. So i can't do that. I have idea that this blog and writing on lq.net could help me.
During last two days i lost something like 600$ playing on 6 tables. That isn't downswing or something. I'm pretty sure I lost that money because i play like spazy donk. I have huge bankroll but i get that money especially from bonus rakeback etc. I have 11bb/100 winrate on nl20-nl25 but nl50 is different story. I have many problems with 3bet pot especially OOP. I looking for some other players for talking about hands and other stuff. If i find someone i can improve my english and my poker skill so if somebody want to do that pm me.
I think i need go down to nl20 one more time. I think i can post once a week couple of hands and hem graph. After that i try to beat nl50 one more time. But if I couldn't do that. I need to finish my journey with poker.
ps: I know that i have many mistakes in that post so if you can indicate me that i will be very happy
ps2:

I can see from this stats i'm more agressive on nl20 because i can outplay villains but when i play nl50 i turning into weak tight shity player. I espiecally worry about w$wsf on nl50.

Hey guys, gonna start playing live again this week and stop playing online at 99k VPP so I can always bump my status to supernova no matter how long I take off.
(until the end of year)
Also, I'd like to thank Guy Thomas (WoodBrave) - x-sc player and MTT extraordinaire, for all his help with MTT's this summer, giving me a deeper understanding to the 45-180 mans, and the bitchin laptop that you didn't want, this computer is so pimp and 20x better than my other computer, THANK YOU :-)
Hmmm, chillin at the house right now, everyones at some amusement park here in Vegas (some small one), prolly gonna watch a movie n chillax for the rest of the night.
I'll still be trollin from time to time and posting some key hands in the Medium Stakes Poker area whenever I have tough spots and need insight
Wish me luck LP, as I wish you the best and thank you for everything you've done for me so far;

main event 2009 thoughts
nolan, Jul 15 2009
with the final 27 in place i've actually played with like half the remaining field at some point while i was in the tournament.
there were two people i played with who are short but i think are sleeper picks to take it down if they can double through.
i played a bunch with jesse habaak during the bubble. he was a really nice guy from north dakota and schooled me pretty good in one hand. he seemed pretty loose for a tournament guy and i'll be rooting for him coming in.
the other player i think could make a run if she gets a big stack is leo margets. i don't want to give too much away, but i'm pretty sure she's possibly the most competent female player i have ever played with/observed. i was absolutely floored by some of the plays she made and hands she showed down. it is her first wsop and shes on a sick run, it would be so sick for poker if she takes it down so im really rooting for her. she's from spain as well, which is definitely one of the smaller poker markets at present but has some pretty extreme potential, so i think we'd all do better to see her do well.
she has some crap blog where she is talking about her M and how she is exploiting her image. she started online as well, and if i had to guess, i'd say even if she is the first one out today it won't be the last we hear from her. i just can't get over how skilled she seemed to be, and how good she was at exploiting the fact everyone would think she was bad.
anyways, other than those two, i'm of course rooting for ivey because i think he's the best player on earth and i like to see someone i look up to do well.
i'm pretty excited for the final table, a lot more good players in the field than last year, should make for some good action.

180 turbos
Chobo1, Jul 15 2009
I've had much success rebuilding my bankroll at the $2.2 180 turbos. over the past 6 days i've played 622 sngs with 77%ROI - see graph.

Now i'm thinking, Should i move up to the $12 180s or should i grind out another 1k sngs at the $2.2s...? I like the $2.2s cos it doesnt tilt me as much when i am 70% favourite to win a 50k pot and lose. I also have to take in consideration that I will have to cash out a lot constantly as i will be living in BKK again. Plus i dont need to grind vpps for my status anymore as I already reached Supernova this year 
<3 the $2.2 180s
Chobo1, Jul 14 2009
played 48 $2.2 180 man turbos today. took 1st place 3 times and 2nd place once.
BALLIN' ! LOL

I had people over last night to play beer pong and most everyone had left by 1230. Me and this one guy who im not particularly fond of played a few more games and then he heard about this party about 20 minutes away so we headed there. I partied with a bunch of people i didnt know, made some new friends whom's names i couldn't recall today and was ready to fucking go home at about 430. I had drank a fuckload of jager and i was done. The douchebag didnt wanna go for whatever reason and said we were staying there. I argued with him for a long time and finally went and passed out on a couch. I wake up this morning and couldn't really put it all together just yet but i knew i was not at my fucking house. I realized that "we" had stayed at the house and i went looking for him.
Dude fucking left me there alone, in a town i have never been to and wtf. After pleading with the bitches who owned the house to drive me home offering money + gas money + lunch and them refusing to take me i mass txt messaged everyone in my phone and finally my friend tessi came and rescued me. I'm really fucking pissed off about my ex douchebag friend, can't wait til the next time i see him to give him a piece of my mind.
On to poker, I'm break even this month besides $420 in rakeback and winning $250 in a rakerace, rakebackpro FOR THE WIN. I realized in HEM that i'm losing lots and lots of money this month in non showdown situations and that's why I have been not putting up my old results. Since i already won that rakerace thing I'm gonna start 4 tabling instead of mass tabling and playing mass hands so that I can get my mind back to where it needs to be and hopefully make at least 1k profit besides rakeback so that i can start making progress back to nl200.

DONKAMENTS = DONE!
2009 WSOP
nolan, Jul 08 2009
I'm still in the main event going into day 3. I'm pretty sure I have 98k (it's reported as 92k but I believe that is an error) and am feeling pretty good moving forward.
Only one of my roommates is still in and playing today but he has <15bb's so hopefully he can run it up.
Hopefully I can cooler a bunch of donkament fish.
Cheers.
Had a preflop spot midway through day 2 that maybe some of your donkament fish can critique.
My whole table is 80-150bb's deep. The only guy on the table who is opening way too many hands, opens UTG+1 or +2 I forget. There are four callers which at the time was very rare on this table. His open was to 2,000 at 300/600 btw.
I had about 90k at this time. I was dealt AJ clubs on the button. When it got to me I made it 13k to go.
Thoughts?

so live poker updates:
last week started good played like every day the daily stg at the local casino 20 players like 50$ buyin.won like 2 of them and finish in the money in like 4 more so was all good.And then played every night like 8 more hours of cash game.
I dont know what happend but the game was so damn easy plenty of fish and free money.Two days ago start the game with 400$ everybody at the table had around 300 to 500.First hand i pick JQ in the bb btn reise to 20$(the game is 2/5)sb calls and i call to flop:A K 10 Nutsssss sb check i check btn makes it to 50$ i reise to 185$ he shoves i snap called turn x river x i shove my str8 and win obv,few hands later i pick up 7c8c in the btn everybody limp i reise to 40$ 5 callers flop 7 9c jc Nutsss again the sb reise to 100$ 2 callers i rereise to 500 a limper decide to goo all in i call .he shows q 10 ,turn 10 river x win the pot.Few hands later i make it to 20 with AK one guy make it to 50 ,6 callers i snaped shoved was pretty happy to take the pot there but the i had one caller with Ad7d flop 2d 3d 5 i was pretty sure that i willl losee but the dealer was nice to turn a 6 and 2 and win another pot.All was good i was sitting in front with like 3k card dead for like 2 hours then i pick up KK reise 20 some guy rereise to 50 i make it to 175 he shoves i called he shows QQ i win another pot.
And here comes the fun part in the last hand of the night we where 4 ppl on the table and we decide to put extra 25$ in the pot before the hand,i really didnt care about the pot i was close to sleep and wanted to go home so i got dealt AA i'm in the btn and i just shove saying to everyone just fold i have AA let me have it.But this hugeeeeeeeeeee fish that just rebought in the last hand for 2k more was thinking for like 5 min what to do i was just talking that only AA can call me and wtf is he doing but he decide to call me with KQ wtf wtf wtf ok let go free money flop 10 7c Kc turn Jc(i dont have the Ac)he has Qc river Ac.I'm fucking shocked that 60% of my winnings are gone and this idiot fish decide to gable with kq in the last hand of the night .i just could belive it but i congrt for the nice pot and the nice call and invite him to come again to play.
in other news i got staked to play the 13$ 6 max sit go on stars had a nice rush i played like 500 stg i was winning at one point like 500$ but i had a huge downsing and lost them,i didnt stop when i run bad and i just played more games that i should have.I'm sorry again for the staker as i promissed i will return half of the stake back b/c i feel bad.
Gl to everyone and Gl to everybody who is playing the WSOP ME.
I think i need to move sites
CrownRoyal, Jul 05 2009
cake is so ridiculously hard these days, i see maybe 1 big fish a day.
ive played 9k hands so far this month @ nl100 and im down 1 buyin. Add that with my results from last month and it looks like im the fish at the tables.
ftp looks better and better every day.
I'm even above expectation, ugh

Well it looks like I'm going to have to try to supersatellite into the ME today and tomorrow
gotta miss frinkx's party, oh well T_T
I refunded everyones money, after doing like 20 transfers its giving me some error and wont let me transfer the last funds to f4zi, i'll have that sent to u tonight or tomorrow
I'm going to go play a $550 satellite
Jlost me and Reid are going splitville on the satellites and im gonna try to get in and go 33% on the ME through one, if i dont win a seat who cares, gives me something to do with some seriously good roi if i win a seat
Just chillin, wonderin if i should play in the 10AM or the 4PM, any input would be greatly appreciated
"roughly 300 ppl in each tourney, $500 tourney so top 5/100 get a seat so 15 seats most likely"
should I go in the morning and play the older players or afternoon and play vs the internet players

Ryan
