My best month to date, also the most poker i've every played, currently at 105 hours for the month, i feel im playing my A game. Finally moved up to NL50, things are good. Bonus's are getting smashed, Rakeback is grrowing. Menz are getting smashed on the ball court (i wanna be able to dunk by the end of July) and inside the Muay Thai ring. I'm also joining Hyi_vams of PokerStars first poker school, hes a sick 2/4, 3/6, 5/10++ Pro. Anyway i went to his first class and hes basically promising us he'll teach us to beat 1/2 NL, BUT we must take a staking deal with him after the course is finished. So we have to sign a contract at the beginning of the course stating we will take a staking deal with him at the completion of the course and another contract at the completion of the course stating are staking terms. If we refuse, he wants to charge 4k for the coaching. I think he can really elevate my game, seems like a win-win situation for me. Classes start when hes back from the Main event in Vegas. Im pretty confident this guy will turn me into a sick baller
Summer is here and the broads are wearing less and less every day. I think this summer i'll wife a latin and white bitch, i had an asian one last summer so i gotta switch it up.
need a car by august when school starts. Found a truck for <5K, looks absolutely amazing, looks like it runs great as well. i'm going to check it out tomorrow, prolly test drive it. Only problems is i dont have 5k and this vehicle in such great condition will not last long being priced so low...
I just got back from a 6 month stay in Bangkok. Going back there in a month or so for another 6 months.
I'm taking a short 2 week holiday in a friend's 3k euro/month apartment in Malta (st julians)
I walked to the casino last night which is pretty close to the apartment. some quite attractive ladies go there so i think it must be a pretty good pickup spot.
Life is depressing, all the answers i look for just make it worse.
I'm convinced im insane, I feel really close to figuring out what it is. I need to go back to having no conscious thinking and just impulsively living life before i drown.
So i quit poker for the summer, its just been so nice enjoying the weather and just being out in the sun instead of all day in front of a computer. I figure i can cash out my roll for the summer and its not like poker is going anywhere and will still be there for me to redeposit in the winter time when boating isnt the main thing for me to do. I had the decision to finish my car and get all the body work and painted or buy a boat. well obv the boat is more fun than having my car all hooked up. I have a body kit and rims on my integra just sucks its not painted yet but to get a person to do all the body work around here u have to wait a month or so just to get an appt. I wish everyone on LP lots of luck im sure ill still be browsing around here now and then. GL to all and enjoy life cause u only get one life to live.
Played the 5k PLO today. Busted on the second blind level. The quickest I've busted from a decent field tournament ever I think.
Table fish was playing 95% of hands and raising about 90% of them. I had iso'd him a few times and did again about 90bb's deep with KK9T double suited black.
Flop Jd 3c 4c. Fish check/shoved and I called.
Lost to Ah Jc Tc 9s. Turn red nine and no help.
Probably going to play the PLO tournament at the Venetian tomorrow afternoon, maybe box some of my loss back.
Went and saw the SakiSaki over at the other house. He generously provided me a Snus and I am quite pleased with this development.
i was qualified for some rakeback 3k freeroll on cake, out of 174 i got 21st for 30 bucks played good, picked my spots wisely, folded around to me, got it in w/ 4.5k on 400/800 blinds, guy with 12k on bb insta calls, i have A9cc he had K8cc, rivers an 8 =*(
Played a live tourney yesterday, 32 ppl, took it down... two hands i got really lucky on @ ft...
Hand 1.
6 handed from the BB, blinds are 4k/8k, and i have 27k left. One guys shoves his 9k (i think utg), guy right of dealer/chip leader shoves. I have A9s, and my only hand history with chip leader/dealer is previously he said "i have j7s" then shoves, gets called, shoves j7hh, and hits a flush. This guy is obv donkfish. So i go all in w/ A9, Chip leader had AJ, and 9k guy had KJ. Flop was A7A, and i turned a 9 for a boat. That got me to 2nd chip leader next to the guy who called me earlier.
Hand 2.
we're down to heads up and i shove with AJo, he (same chip leader/guy who said "i have j7s" calls with ducks. Flop is TTT...Q....T....giving me quads with A kicker. Next hand i put him out and take it downnnnn
feeling good...trip to vegas T-minus 18 days can't wait.
Anyone wanna stake me for the $12 180man turbos for 2-3 weeks? i will need around $1,800 stake.
as i recall i had around 35%ROI in them of a sample size of around 2k sngs....i'm pretty sure i can push it up to 40-45%ROI long term. I will be playing around 60 $12 180s/day during the stake. if i calculate using my 35%ROI that would come to $252/day overal or $126/day for the staker.
i just got back from a 6 month stay in bangkok and didn't play much poker/partied too hard.
