Who: Maiquel Falcao (31-5)
When: July 7th
Where: Brazil
What: 2x4 piece of wood to the dome
Why: He started shit with a girl at a gas station, and her friends came and helped her.
Taken from Sherdog: "Falcao was in a gas station with his friend (also an MMA fighter), Falcao started harrassing a girl and even slapped her, her friends came to her rescue, at first losing the fist battle until the guys ganged up on him and knocked Falcao and his friend out cold using what appears to be a large piece of wood. The guy getting hit repeatedly is Falcao's freind. Falcao is the first guy getting koed in the video."
Also, I played in the $1mil freeroll and placed like 7-800 and cashed for just under two bills. This has sparked my interest in learning MTT's. I played a 20k guarantee this week and cashed in like 100th. Still not sure how to act once I have built that big-midsize stack in the late-middle of the tourney. If anyone is interested I would be willing to trade coaching in FLHE for MTT training.
since I got exams in the next 3 weeks I barely played any poker for the last 3-4 weeks. But I caught a cold a few days ago and since I was just lying on my couch all day I decided to play the MicroSeries events on ps.fr yesterday..
I hit the FT as a shortstack but eventually "Sasha Stein" would crush all the other bigstacks and hold like a 12M chiplead with 6ppl left and everyone else having 1-2.5M - me having 2M+ actually! That way and since I was pretty carddead on the FT (I got aces/kings like 5-6 times each pre-FT tho^^) I managed to fold myself into top3 then lost to the CL!
This cash made me hit 7,5k€ winnings for the year.. meeh it couldve been so much more but im too lazy to put in volume at all..
This win makes me wanna play more of the series but I seriously got to focus on studying right now :s
Well you guys keep up the grind and take my rungood for the next few weeks until im back
Sunday's night to monday was one of the biggest win i've ever played in my entire life live. Entered to that room with only 400 (blinds are 5/5, there wasn't any kind of maximum limit although we all agreed to not make so much difference between the shortest stack and the biggest in the beginning) and 7 hours later, I left with close to 4k.
I didn't feel particularly more happy than those time where I left winning twice or triple, but there was sure one thing that got me challenged : My jean's pocket being too tight for that money.
Dunno what i'll do with that, I fear that putting it on my bank would leave me nothing but troubles and I'm not sure how i'll explain where I got that money from if there was any question about that.
Maybe I'm still not realizing the money I won is huge, or if I'm just bored. Time will tell though !
Definitely hope that you get the same experience sooner or later, 'cause hey, everyone loves money right ?
Hi guys,
Havent been very active recently other then posting a few hands now and then but been lurking some although this site seems to be dying slowly. Anyways semi quit poker a few years ago when i got in to university and have only been playing some lower stakes after that but i feel theres still some money to be made and i would like to have a piece of that cake!
Been playing more actively since 8 months back at our swedish site svenska spel where ive mostly played SEK 2/4 which is equal to nl60 usd i think where i have a winrate of a little above 20bb/100 over 130k+ hands. I had a goal to be playing SEK 5/10 (nl150) but still havent reached that due to withdrawing a piece of my roll for living expenses plus im a huge br nit. Because of that i still dont feel comfortable putting down my own money to play these stakes although im sure i would beat them, i dont feel like i have the financial situation to do that any more and are a bit more responsible with money then i were a few years ago so the stress of it would be too high.
So therefore i thought i would see if anyone would be up for staking me at these stakes, im sure we both would benefit from it since i surely beat these stakes anyway being a former midstakes reg + showing some good results one stake below. Shoot me a pm if you are interested in making some kind of deal and i will get back to you.
Posting pics of results tomorrow as im not on my computer right now. Also for references ive met a bunch of lpers which could vouch for me i hope!

Looking for a stake at nl150
Winning at 20bb/100+ at nl60
Looking for a fair % due to the low risk
Hi recently ran my BR from $50 to $126 last month just doing NL2 zoom. I found that i really never have to bluff and that making the hero call with KK on a ace high board was almost never profitable as no one at this level could fold an ace preflop. Unfortunately I'm going back to the US and won't be able to play online (gonna be in Texas). I'm gonna miss poker until I get back in October but i'm looking forward to getting back into the grind.
Other then PT4 are there any other Mac Friendly poker tracking software as my current laptop is a older macbook pro.
If not i'm definitely going to make the investment in the small stakes PT4 and bump it up to the higher stakes version when/if i make it above NL 50.
Hello friends.
I'm new here but I'm playing poker for like 4 years.
Now I'm looking for a job in Norway. I;m from Poland and I'm student of Management.
Any norwegian here can help me with find a job?
I was looking on finn.no but it's very hard to find something. I can do anything, i don't speak norwegian, only english a little bit.
So June didn't go too well. Down ~16k or so. I actually lost 15k on June 1st then was eventually down about 25 at one point so except for that one day I mostly broke even which is fine. Summers have been historically bad for me over the years. I can't actually remember any summer that I had a standout month or winning streak. Not sure what it is cuz I know it's the most profitable time for most players. I hadn't been playing too much because I had been travelling back and forth to Vegas this month. Just got back from EDC on Monday and needed a couple of days to just relax, July is a new month though so we'll see what happens when I start back up tomorrow.
I'm thinking I'll probably go play the main event though. It's annoying and it's a grind but the payoff is just so big if you can get lucky and go deep in it. I'm not trying to put up the whole 10k myself though. I'd like to have about 1/3rd or 1/4th of my own action so if anybody wants to buy up the rest I'll sell it off at 1.2x. Send me a PM if you are interested in buying. Or anybody I know personally who is interested in swapping % let me know also.
I'm not having much success yet in PLO but I've also only been playing the game seriously for about 2 months now and maybe have played 20k hands in that time. I have been improving a lot though and I'm confident that improvement will continue. Certain guys who were giving me action when I first started playing have begun to refuse it to me so that tells me I must be doing something right. In trying to find action I ended up playing a number of different guys HU @ 5/10 and 10/20. Those shots didn't really go too well and were where I lost the largest amount of money during the month.
Still haven't started working with stinger yet since he's been so busy with bracelet bets during WSOP. I assume we'll start working on my game as soon as WSOP ends which I'm excited for since I really am focused on trying to improve and become as good a player as I can be. I'm just too good at this to give it up for anything else so if I'm going to commit to anything this has got to be it.
It's super difficult for me to make any kind of commitments and I'm always talking about trying to do different things and I usually have good intentions and want to do what I'm saying but don't seem to have a lot of follow through on them. Like I was saying I was gonna move to Vancouver but I feel like that's sorta changing now and I'm thinking of getting a place in Rosarito instead so that I can drive down and play poker Sunday through Wednesday and then come back to San Diego and still have fun here from Thursday through Saturday. I feel like that might help to provide me with some structure that I pretty much completely lack now.
It's a 2008 E92 BMW M3 Coupe. 4L V8 with 420hp and 295lb ft. I love the thing. Don't love the 19.3mpg I'm getting so much, but I guess you know what you're signing up for when you buy one of these.
I did spend a decent amount of time watching/reading some game theory videos while I was unable to play so when I got money back online I started implementing what I had studied and started playing considerably different both pre flop and post flop to how I have been doing previously. As you can see below, it didn't work and I've ended up encountering a lot more variance which has ultimately resulted in my largest downswing ever in terms of buyins lost while playing 6max NLHE after 7.5 years playing (42 buyin downswing in EV). The main changes I've made involve blind vs steal position play, I'm defending a lot wider and I've made some pretty major changes to my 3betting and 4betting ranges too. Unfortunately my winrates from both blinds have declined significantly when compared to the previous months, so I'm probably just screwing up postflop way too often, as well as running very poorly in those spots. I started to recover a little in the last few days of the month, but wasn't close to rescuing the situation.
I will continue this pre flop experiment in July. Even if I have another bad month, putting myself in these marginal spots can only help me progress as a player long term, and hopefully eventually my winrates from the blinds will be an improvement over what it was in the first 5 months of this year. Relative to other regulars I suck from the blinds so I do want to keep trying hard to improve in those spots and don't mind putting myself in tough situations in order to improve in those spots.
Results for the month:
VPPs: 35,210.02
Cash: -$4,506.43
MTTs: -$15
Overall: -$4,521.43
Life wasn't good this month either and as a result of some high school style drama I will be seeing a lot less of one of my best friends, so it's almost certain that I shall be putting in a lot more volume in July and will hopefully get back to winning ways.
Hey guys,
My room mate is moving to London and I have decided that within a month I'm gonna leave UK altogether after 8 years.
First choice is Czech Republic, I'm from there wouldbe moving back home, but don't wanna make any rash decisions.
I can make around $1k/month in poker so I can move anywhere I want for a while before continuing my career. Altough moving back home is the obvious choice as I can get proper jobs there very easy, are there any other cool and cheap places where you'd recommend for a few months or maybe even longer?
If there are any poker houses I wouldn't mind joining
Let me know your ideas, I prefer somewhere cheap obviously.
