So I played alot of mtt today (some on stakes, some not) and only made one FT in the $22 deepstacked (had 300x bb, everyone else 90-150x bb) where I made a semi-misread (put villain on 88-JJ when he had QQ and he called my 3rd barrel (i had AK)
Lost $450-$600 playing mtt's today of my own $, was a lil pissed about that
During the FT I made a side bet with python i would win the tourney, so i lost 250 for that, so only won a few $100 or so in the tournament
But as determined as I was, I played a small cash session waiting for my roommate to finish his session (hes gsr_01_integ) a $6-12 45-180 man sng player (very good all around player)
I played close to my absolute best, and ran fairly well too
Sick session? Check it out /brag
Cashed out $150 more (about $1100 in the past few weeks, first time i've been cashing out money from poker in a long long time, and it feels so good, more motivation as well :-)
GL LP, I'm out 4 the night

I love all ya, appreciate your support, and I'm sure some of you will "think" allowing myself to play hu is a degen move or whatever, which is not the case. I am extremely profitable HU, I just never understood bankroll management years ago when I allowed myself to play it. I also chased loses like a motherfucker and I didn't time my cashgame sesions like I do now. I will always have 100+ bi for MTT and Heads Up. If I don't, then I will send anyone $100 cash money who would spot me on any of those tables.
#1 Cake is fucking annoying they are ridiculous about their cashout policy.
They want all sorts of information about me and my physical address on my ID isn't my mailing address because i have a PO Box and they wont let me send it to the PO box because it doesn't match my ID... whatever. I'm moving to UB to clear their 111% deposit bonus up to 1100 or something + rakeback asaply cause bonus whoring = hot.
br = 3300 and it would be a lot more if i didnt waste so much fcking money in tournaments, i'm gonna try to not play in anymore tournaments until scoop but i doubt that happens.
Hopefully I can clear the UB bonus before SCOOP and then stars runs a deposit bonus for it. My license get's revoked on the 6th for a month because I got a DWI a while back (i run so bad, i wasn't even drunk wtfever) so I should have nothing to do for an entire month and im already playing 3k+ hands a day anyway so hopefully i have a fat roll by the time scoop comes around and it wont hurt so bad when I drop 1k in mtts and not cash in any of them. I'm planning on playing in almost every single low event and if my br is big enough some of the smaller buyin middle ones but we'll have to see what my roll looks like around then.
I might even sell action on some of them but everyone @ lp hates me, so i doubt it.
ps, if you're cool add me to msn/aim because im nearly out of poker friends from LP, we can sweat each other @ nl100/talk/whatever

Ok guys, now that I am sufficiently rolled for NL100 ($5800 after paying 1k in debts and a $150 cash out for my self *800 cashed out this month*)
I'm now going to play NL100 6max during the weeks, and play MTT's on stakes during the weekends at 50/50 (around 1k for sundays and I will most likely play with my own money on saturdays)
I'll be allowing myself to play sessions of Heads up now as well, as long as I have 100+ buy-ins for the heads up limit then I will allow myself to play it if its the weekend or if I believe I have a strong edge.
This addresses my three most profitable areas of poker, with very little risk. 6max during most times, hu mostly on fridays and saturdays when its weakest, and mtt's sundays when the overlays are the largest and a few others during the week.
My next goal is to reach 12k+ (nl200 roll) , I'm allowing myself to cashout whenever I want to now as well.
Overall, I'm aiming for
2+bb at 6max (16-max tabling)
4+bb at HU (2-8 tabling)
$0-$10M/day MTT (1-20 tabling)
I love all ya, appreciate your support, and I'm sure some of you will "think" allowing myself to play hu is a degen move or whatever, which is not the case.

If I don't, then I will send anyone $100 cash money who would spot me on any of those tables.
This is how I'm going to play, I'm 100% confident that I will do my best and succeed, and these are my best game choices.
NL100 6max
NL50 HU
MTTs that I have 100bi for
Sunday staked tournaments
So I ran MTT sunday today and got 2nd in the 3rebuy yet again, this time i lost AQ vs K9 then lost another stupid hand, tp vs bottom pair he calls allin and i woulda been monsterous CL but he hit 2 pair on turn FML
so i win 7500 in it today but had around 2500 invested in MTTs today so +5k score
BR $15600
Ok, I never told anyone but a good friend of mine staked me back when I was starting NL25 at 50/50 til 15k, so when I had $15,600, I sent him $7500 +1k investment ($8,500) which left me with $6901. I paid $891 in past debts (sry it took so long naz ($100), Artanis ($200) doomer ($180 left from like a year ago) and a couple other LPers) (still have a couple debts left which will be being paid as I continue grinding, I'm hoping to get a nice base 10k roll again before I pay the rest of my debts unless one of those couple guys needs it immediately)
Now I Have $6,010 n change for Nl100 to start on my own. It took me around 35-40 days to hit the 15k plateau but I finally did it! Woot!
Now I'm on my own, I'm getting close to supernova for sick bonuses as well, WOot! Platinumstar + NL100 is so sick!
I'm going to continue to grind NL100 3-5 days a week and play MTT's 1-3 days a week, and take a day off once or twice a week. I'm going to stay at NL100 til $12,000. If I downswing, I'll go to NL50 at $3,500.
So there it is guys, I've been on a sick MTT tear, and without the coaching and support of LP and jlost88 (lostaccount) and whamm! and gsr_01_integ and so many others I don't know if I could have ever done this, so thx a million guys, as well as the rest of LP and the killer support you've shown in my 4 straight days of winning atleast 1k in MTT's :-)
Ok, I'm off for the night
btw - forgot to mention that my staker for this is going to stake me for some WSOP this summer most likely :-) He made $9500 in the deal overall which turned out to be a sound investment, and now I have all I ever wanted, discipline and I'm a NL100 player, and truly believe I can and will be a NL100 reg for a good long while. (12k or 20bi and 25k hands)
At first you took control of me and my views on poker and made me doubt my self. Now i understand the tricks you play on me, they wont work anymore. I have grown. I am now mentally stronger, disciplined and will bite back much harder. You will only make me stronger every time you attack me. I am now prepared for the next time you attack me, and i will clinch you and break your nose with multiple knees like i did to the idiot who stepped to me at the bar last night. Variance, you shall shiver when you hear my name.
man im runnin hot at MTT's, <3 them when u run good -.-
I was 1/40 in the 20rebuy too, then got high and blew up, FML, no more smoking while playing! (actually made some really strong plays but misread my opponents)
Just gonna smoke 1-2 in the morning and smoke 2 at night for now on and grind during the day, that way i can get high n play everyday without them interfering with each other ;-)
By the way, this is the first time my online rolls been 10k from grinding legit, which is why I made this post, just felt so good I had to share it and brag a little, I've been working soooooooo hard to get to become a nl100 reg, now i have a nice roll for it and i can go to work everyday at nl100 with no stress, its so great
I've put two sessions in at The Hundo so far, both going very well, I'm playing very well and cut down on my 3b % and 3b calling % which has drastically improved my winrate
In the graph you can tell I've addressed many issues I was having, and stopped bluffing so much, and only bluff the best spots possible now
im also switching gears a lot now during play, 95% TAG, 5% lag or so. Sometimes no lag, depending on the table(s)
Stats and Graph of NL100 up to date
Taking the rest of the night off, some beers n a couple J's sounds good
Jesus what a crazy day i've played 7k hands 4-6 tabling
nl100 is ridiculous and i run jj into kk/aa vs habitual 3betters constantly and keep getting gay stupid setups vs retard regulars.
200bbs deep i had 22, open pf, faggot nit reraises, other random dude calls, i call.
flop is 2T7ssx, i c/r
turn is A, i shove, he has AA wtfever.
asdf;oaidf; nl100 is hard. I guess i'm not the amazing player i thought i was who would steamroll these guys but i can still spot lots of leaks in their games so i'm not really too concerned i guess i just have to settle for lots of variance in a very lag game and a smaller winrate than i'd like.
my br is $1516 right now!?!?! I've played 18k hands or so total and unlocked $180 of my bonus
Cake is like 2-3 limits easier than stars/ftp and im running sorta good i guess but if EV graphs worked or if i even cared about them im pretty sure im at max 1-2 buyins above expectation.
I actually lost quads vs quads yesterday too bad there isn't a bbj
tttt vs qqqq fml
There are prob like 10 nl50 cake regs and i have the sickest image with all of them i'm like the durr of nl50 (lol) I've put my money in with super wide ranges when i thought they were fucking with me and got looked up once or twice and now they all put their money in with aj/77+ against me.
for the most part most everyone you play againt on cake is a reg but they are all pretty dumb it's microstakes though but cake is prob a bit easier than stars/ftp. I only consider the ones who play like 6+ tables at once to be a real reg anyway for cake standards. I get trashtalked daily and I trash talk them back. It's so much fun I look forward to poker every day. I wake up and I _want_ for the first time in suchhhhh a long time to play poker. I grind for 7-8 hours a day 6-8 tabling and I never lose focus or interest it's amazing. There is also pretty much 0 tournaments that tempt me to play on cake they are all shitty and ive ran bad in the ones i played so i have 0 desire to play in any of them. I can't get poker off my mind lately and i've gotta ride this out while i have it because it's amazing having a natural adderall high daily.
I have been talking to a 17 year old girl (i'm 20) lately and i think we are sorta??? dating she is massive amounts of fun and I think she might become the first real girlfriend i've ever had. I took a picture of her i would upload but she thought it was "gross" so maybe i'll have to ninja take another one.
