So October finished on a really bad note. The last few days I spewed a little and just played plain bad. Anyways I decided that I would not be deterred and would get back on the horse and kill it in November. Well, as they say "to make God laugh just tell him your plans".



I think my play was good for the most part. I ran fucking $375 below expectation in allins Is that a fucking record or what? 7.5 buyins in 7500 hands? Thats 5 big bets per 100 BELOW EXPECTATION. Anyways, whatever, my bankroll can stand this shit pretty easy. Funny thing is I was going to moveup this weekend until my downswing started last month. All told, I am down 17 buyins in 6 days. Here's some fun hands from today.

yes! top set in a reraised pot. What could possibly go wrong?

so i finally finished my god damn thesis and can start playing poker again. wanted a site with rake back so i deposited 500 on cake today and now its 1.22k lol

earlier on was messing around in omaha 50 and lost 200.i go to showdown way too much lol such a diff from nl where ur set is never good. and the swings are so huge i was up like 300 at one point grr. i think u need alot more buyins in omaha

anyway up about 300 in 50-100nl so it didnt matter

I feel much more comfortable with poker now, since the changes I've made to my game, my results have sky rocketed.

Now that i realize the game can be beat, I'm going to set poker goals for my self for the month of November.

-30k hands at 10NL
-Achieve silver star (possibly gold star , near the end of Nov?)
-Bank roll of $500
-Possible shot at 25NL near the end of November.
-Buy another 21" LCD so i can 9 table without overlay

I am confident i can reach every goal.







No costume for tonight, but maybe I'll tell bitches im Phil Ivey if they ask, i do look like him.

As you can see here:



I did better than Joe this month. This is because Joe is a chump ass noob and he sucks.

Cheers,

Made a few changes to my game last week, since then poker has treated me well. Just moved out of NL5, and took a shot at NL10 with 15 buyins. So far so good.

My best graph to date...lol

Hello Clayton,

Thank you for your email. I am sorry to hear your disappointment. As an
avid player myself, I know how frustrating it can be to suffer bad beats.

The truth of the matter is there is no such thing as a 'Doom Switch'. We
have no interest in favouring one player over another. Our shuffle is
completely random and bad beats simply happen on their own. If there were
no more bad beats, people would stop chasing bad draws. If that happens,
then good players won't be able to win anymore.

The computerized methods we use to shuffle the deck are more than
sufficient to ensure complete randomization of the cards, and
complete unpredictability of the cards to come. You can see the
description of these methods at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/security.html

In addition, we track all hands dealt daily to see if there is any
statistically significant variance.

In fact, we gave the source code to two independent auditors who
reviewed our shuffle algorithm and found it sound and random. You may
read
the analyses of these auditors at:

http://www.pokerstars.com/rng_audit.html

We have dealt over 21,000,000,000 hands, and have freely given out real
money hand histories any time somebody has requested them. Not once has
anybody found any indication that our shuffle is not 100% random, and many
who have undertaken such studies have posted their findings to the
Internet. You may find just two of them here:

http://tinyurl.com/32ajma
http://tinyurl.com/22wu99w

If this doesn't convince you, you can do your own statistical analysis of
your hands. There are a few programs like PokerOffice and PokerTracker
that allow you to import your hand histories, and offer statistical
analysis, which I am sure will satisfy your concerns.

Good luck to you, and thank you for choosing PokerStars.

Regards,

RicardoB

Couldn't breath, the roommate left the windows up and the fans in the room on, so i got a cold, and since i have asthma, it's like double fuck my lungs up. So i couldn't breath, none of my medicine would work including the nebulizer, so a trip to the Emergency Room was in order. No one in line on Tuesday at 11:00 pm, so i didn't have to wait in line. I've always hated trips to the ER, it just reminds me of death and everything else that is bad in the world. I have always feared that when i went i would see something traumatic, like a gunshot wound, or someone special being rushed in with their family following...something like that.

Anyway, got my Rx's, so everything should be alright.

Pokerwise i won like 15 bucks, but now i just lost it


Can't wait to hear devon's comments of either
A) "i'm surprised those redneck doctors were able to help you"
or
b) "I wish they would have left u for dead"

In the recent weeks i haven't really had much time to play poker cause of the exhaustion at work. However, i've made some very good sessions the last few days. Yesterday i wasn't in the mood to play much so i played a short session, 4 sngs - 3 10+1EU, and 1 20+2EU cause there weren't much ppl to register for the 20eu sngs . I cashed in all 4 of them for a total of one 3rd place, two 2nd place finishes and one 1st place. Yummy . Total profit: 125 euros for an hour and a half. Wanna run like this every day and play just a few hours but damn poker doesn't work like this . So here is my graph stats, guys - it is becoming pretty steep lately:

dillema is, i have to work tonight in ~4 hours so I'll have to sell my action or pay someone to play for me or something. If i know you and you dont suck at poker and would be interested in doing something granted i make it 4 hours deep let me know.

ok not really but it strikes fear into my heart seeing that I am running 11 buyins below expectation in allins. I mean this isn't like that pokerev program that people came to eventually disregard.

I hope someone who is better than me at math can explain to me how it is possible for this to happen over such a significant sample size

Hi again, guys. In the past few days i really thought things through and i decided to go for it, plunge into the deep unknown (for me) waters of professional poker. Yesterday i talked to my mother about the pluses and minuses and i tried to explained her how i hate archivating stuff as i did in the job, and wake up at 6AM in ice-cold mornings and deal with the shit traffic of Sofia. Damn, this city is designed for 1/3 of the number of cars driven every day and it sux when u go to work and back home for 2hours+ staying still in the overcrowded buses smelling all the farting and shitty people around you and the gipsies waiting for you to look the other way in order to take yo money... Shit shit transportation in this city! Moreover, i explained her how i can make more money from poker in a week than i do at the job, where i spend almost 1/2 of the salary for eating during the break. She couldn't find enough arguments and I won . For her, poker=roullette. I hate it when she says that many ppl have lost their homes, families, sold their pants in order to keep gambling. She just can't understand that i am not playing against the casino and i am doing fine in this game. She thinks i will be a scumbag, douschebag, a lazy mf with no social life and so on... I just told her she is wrong and she ll see she had been wrong. But the deal is - she won't give me $ anymore ;(. So, i am on my own after a week when my monthly salary comes. Until then i will have to wake up in 6am and try to survive mentally at work. I hate that! I just told my boss 30 mins ago that i quit and he had hard time hiding his smile. Probly because I am the only person who would tell his boss he quits after just 3 weeks of working lol. Wish me luck at the beginning, cause if i hit a god damn bad streak i will have to eat whatever the gipsies have left in the trash cans in front of my block :D

ok, first off let me state this all happens during my dream


Its the middle of the night and I'm asleep, and all the sudden a group of ppl walk in. Theres Rekrul, BlueWolf, Artanis, Sheitan and uh my friend Nick Bowman from college

first off lemme tell u guys about each person individually

rekruls been an online friend, he was the best sc player from the usa, probably the main reason i got into poker, and hes always had an extremely good thinking logical poker mind.

Bluewolf was a sc player that i always thought was a douchebag, no offense, idk why, just never really liked him. i think he played toss and was a good player though, i met him at wcg once and was nice to him and his brother for like 20 mins then never saw him again. i did see him get uber good at sc in later days though ( i met him in 02)

Artanis is someone I've been getting to know recently and I have a lot of respect for him, he didn't do much in the dream, he was more like sitting there watching what was going on between rekrul and bluewolf.

Sheitan was in the dream...which is weird cuz i didn't know what he looked like, but i'll get to that in a minute.

My friend from college nick bowman was in the dream, he was an avid CS player and MMORPG player, also a pretty cool guy and fun to hang out w/


Ok, so i wake up in the dream, yet im still dreaming, i wake up to realize that im in my moms house which is weird since i haven't lived there for an extended time in like 5 yrs, but w/e u know how dreams go. So they all show up and i'm like, dude, did u guys see my commercial? I'm on TV. They're like what?? I'm like yeah, I was just in San Diego and they threw a pass to some reciever and i ran into the field and caught it and started yelling "hahahahaha san diego sucks" (which has relevence since the bills beat san diego last week and i've been die hard billz fan for my whole life)

so i show them it, look on lp and see a thread about it w/ alot of lolz n shit, all good times

i start chattin w/ rek a lil, hes being pretty quiet, but i can see hes up to something. then all the sudden hes like lets get a chess tournament going. obv we're playin for moniez, first he starts off w/ a best of 5 vs bluewolf and hes insta down 1-2 when i ask how its going, he wasn't too happy, they never finished the series so GG rekrul, u lost to bluewolf, "HAHAHA INTERCEPTION, U SUCK"

Artanis was sitting in a chair practically the whole time, on the side of the chess board just obbing the game and not really talking or doing anything.

My friend nick bowman was reading my mind, everytime i thought "u suck, or ur fat" he would counter with "u suck, or ur too skinny", she was drivin me crazy, was like he was the thought police or something!

lol, and sheitan was there, he was showing me pictures of himself online for some fucked up reason, being like "look this is what i looked like in high school (looked like a picture of a guy about 6'4 245 lbs with some crazy hair and he was much bigger than the other 15 ppl or so that were in the picture)

then like all the sudden he turns into a softy and he shows me new pictures of him that are this crazy anime girl? LOL, what the fuuuuuuuuuck does this mean? lollolololol idk but i think it was all just pretty funny.

Oh, sheitan was on my stars account too, and i KNEW i had $432 on my stars account, and i didn't trust him for some reason (no offense sheitan, only a dream), so i check my account when he leaves to see whats up and i see that I have only $315 left. I'm like zOMG WTF happened, so i check my transfers and i see he transfered himself $120 from my account. I'm like fuck fuck fuck, so i do a cancel pending transfers (ya i know its impossible on stars but this is like a bank transaction in a dream i guess), and then i check my account to make sure everything was back to $432 and it was at $100. IM LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE.

So i woke up instantly.

rekrul lost to bluewolf 2-1
artanis is very observant
sheitan is a big boy w/ a soft spot for anime girls?
nick is a mindreader and a dick about it

fun times?
GL
