armory doesnt really do it justice, it has 70 epic maces/swords/daggers, and heaps of other armor, theres a dps set and a pvp set, also netherblade etc
anyways willing to trade for pokerstars funds or maybe even some sng lessons. ty
also BR has gone up from 20 to ~$60 in the last few days thanks to 18man SNGS
up a whopping $3 playing short stacked nl50 at my friends house
"big" hands-
-i have $17, aggro monkey who i have a ton of history with has $16. i have Q10s, he raises my BB to $2.50, i call. flop QQx, two diamonds. i lead out, he pushes, insta call. he has A2dd, i hold for ez double up
-i have QQ, utg, 4 handed. i'm sitting on about $40, same person from first hand has around $18. i open for $3, he calls (i'm UTG, he's dealer). flop is K87, two hearts. i bet $6, he pushes his remaining chips in and i'm thinking wtf..he did this with a heart draw. and a couple hands earlier he check/called trips. so i call and he has A8o. hits ace on the turn. hello disgust, goodbye profits!
iop was my staker, he transfered me 20$ on wensday for a 1 week 40$ payback. I did pretty good, playing from FR 2nl, to 1$-5$ tourneys, won a couple of 3$ 45 ppl turbos, and just finished a 5 hour 10$plo cash game session; up 6bi.
Thanks again iop for stake,
ill be cleaning this blog later, im tierd and in need of a dubie
today was just like yest, the diff abt yesterday was that I won it back before the day ended. Today i lost 3bi to some unfortunate spots, i dont think i can win it back anymore though coz im mentally beat already. maybe it's just one of those days. im downloading "into the wild" and "football factory" and watching those later. up like 1k for the week so i guess i could call it a decent week and can't afford to make another attempt and add zomg fucking fish to my blog haha. peace.
played drunk HU against a fishby Forrest Gump, February 16
Today I played futbol with the Uni buddies, and then we drank some beers at home. At 2am the night its almost over for me, becouse I have an exam this tuesday. So everyone except me goes to a bar.
Then I find a guy who I know exactly how to play him (fish) seated with ~230 stack in a NL400 empty table. So I decided to play him anyways no matter how tired I was. That was my opportunity. So we played near 15min I guess and I busted him playing HU.
After some review I had a winning of 191, so that makes near 39 of rake !!!
OMG. How can I play this game when rake is rapping me so hard.
I know that all the money its at cash games, but that's insane.
Here's another video for my blog

Poker has been pretty crazy to me. yesterday i had a pretty shitty suckout fest by donkeys which caused me to almost break my keyboard. but i realized that its my only keyboard and i need to buy replacements before i can start breaking them.
today was great, runnin awesome. sklansky bux do come back when u raelly believe in urself and have confidence and keep playin. yesterday i prolly tilted a little. but unlike others i can quit when im tilting and stop chasing losses. i think you are indeed mentally affected even if u dont realize it. this morning i played some dota to get my head straight then apesmashed them niggaz tonight. definitely play dota, its an awesome game <3. add me im Palad1N on USEAST, it might be shared with a friend but he never really plays. give me a shoutout
this month is indead a pretty harsh month, just had a 30k hand breakeven stretch. where i swong like CraZyyyyyyyy. but its alright. my first month at 400nl i cant really complain.
1. definitely take short breaks if u can while playin and dont chase losses.
2. sklansky bux comes back if u make it through the long run!
tommorow is sunday and i have school on sunday. its definitely a fishy day. by the way if u have cardrunners read the economics of poker by ActionDJ. pretty much accurate... next term i'll definitely put all my classses on monday-wednesdays. the cardrunners articles are really good but arent really heavily advertised and def took my a while to find them.
sunday plan: wake up at 7 30, eat, go to school, take 2 3hour courses. come back, and prolly its timeeeeeeee for dota!! or poker if i still have energy to play. my schedule for last few weeks was to take sunday/monday/tuesday off to review my game and learn hu and watch cr videos. i think i'll just play lots this time since i failed extremely badly at hu.
i love rakeback and shit, up over $8.3k runnin like shit lol
Started the night off even from day one since i played a poor session yesterday(-3buyins)
Since pokertracker isn't registered on my computer yet, i don't have any stats for you today but my night went well. Played one of my fish HU NL50 and took 2 buyins from him in about 45minutes then went out for dinner.
came home and made another 2.5 buyins playing 2 tables of 6handed NL25. so far so good, not dedicating too much time to my online game but still doing decent sessions.
I have made a few bad calls that imo should be easier folds, but they dont compare to the good poker im playing. besides, the games are very easy imo. Since im still on my laptop and not set up properly im not going to be playing any serious amounts.
I got tweo neo girls one is my friends gf swhos mad into me cuz i owna t a dancing and other is some cute bloind cihick tzhat i met to night,im a brit drunk so dont minret my spell mistakes.,
but in summary i fuckkng own e-z.

I played a short session today, here are some SD losses.
Mainly I have the feeling I'm getting in the above-average-tough spots.
I feel like I'm stronger than the guys at my tables, but I cant seem to finally take advantage of that. I kill them bit by bit, then suffer a big blow. thats my usual day. I guess i must work on my showdowns, so here are some hands:
Happiness and the Poker Playerby PanoRaMa, February 16
My essay today will be about my relative perception of "happiness" and what it means for the rising poker player. It is extremely relative in that people have vastly different ideas of what real happiness is, so what I'm writing isn't the end all for everybody, but what holds true for me.
This is my happiness meter. Yours may differ tremendously. On one hand I have the fish who are just regular people who may (or may not) play poker for fun and donk around. On the other side of the spectrum exists Cole "thuglife" South (I'm pretty sure that's what the T stands for) who I imagine to be the happiest person on earth. Your range may vary, but no matter what we all (inevitably) have a meter of our own.
The basis of this entry dwells on my belief that Money does buy happiness, but a material happiness and not an immaterial one. I think immaterial happiness refers to the genuine pleasure of doing things we absolutely love, being with people we love, and overall living a fulfilled life style. Material happiness is the happiness derived from spending money outside of what is necessary. I feel that immaterial happiness is superior, but as poker players we succumb to material happiness and our end goal (to be like cts) is to acquire both.
When we begin to start making serious money (anywhere between 100-400nl), we make a trade off between these two forms of happiness. Jurollo from the 2p2 forums said in regards to true happiness, "I think the job of online poker alone makes a lot of us unhappy. Its isolationist in its very essence and cuts us off from the outside world to an extent which contributes to [feelings of unhappiness]." btw anyone willing to pursue the topic further should really check that thread out: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=8966677
So the main issue when it comes to SSNL/MSNL and higher grinders is that we neglect fundamental aspects of our lives (social interaction, priority of values, etc.) for the pursuit of money which we think will make us happy in the longrun. If anyone has played WoW (and you haven't, just bear with me), you'll know that as you go through the level 1-59 grind, you anticipate the lavish joys of being a level 60 and doing all the "fun end-game stuff" (btw this is an analogy only suitable for pre-TBC expansion WoW). But once you get there you realize holy shit, I still have to grind so much more just so I can get to a point where I can be satisfied with my character. The point of this analogy is that we set goals for ourselves, which at one moment we think we'd be satisfied at, but when we finally achieve it, we yearn for more. Poker players are inherently greedy, and so by definition we could never be satisfied. When I grinded out 25nl I just thought "man if I could get to 100nl, I'd be sooo happy with 1k/month". What a jokebook that turned out to be.
So the MSNL player leads an unhappy life. We definitely make enough to sit back and enjoy our lives, but we're also at that critical point of "well I'm making $X now, but I just need to get this much better and then I can finally start playing 1knl and making $Y..". In other words, The MSNL player is frustrated because we're really at that breaking point between someone who can make good money from poker, and someone who can make an extraordinary amount of money from poker. Therefore we keep grinding, we keep devoting time to improving ourselves, and the sad part is many of us end up committing ourselves to permanently staying at 200 and 400nl because the extra stride is just too much (which results in increased unhappiness - to fall short of your goals).
On the other sides of the spectrum are the fish and cts. I believe the fish are happy because they only have one concern, money. Contrast to msnl players who have more concerns: money (because what we make is not "enough" ), and particularly meaningful social interaction (back to "immaterial happiness" ). We feel that we lack in both forms of happiness simply because material happiness isn't good enough for us - whereas the fish have the immaterial happiness, and would simply like some material happiness.
CTS on the other hand has officially won life and, ideally, has both. Of course in reality he probably has his own issues and whatnot, but my perception of someone like cts is that he has enough money to not care about being mediocre, and that allows him to set aside time to really cultivate his immaterial happiness. Just look at his blog and those pictures of Thailand, my god, what a gangster. I think I'm in love.
Well that's it for this topic so far. It's a hugely extensive topic that I could go on forever about, but I think I was able to convey the crucial parts of my thought process (lol) without being overly extravagant. Like I mentioned before, if you're interested in the subject of "true happiness", refer to the thread above where a lot of high stakes ballers chime in.
Went to go play 5-10NL at the caz last night, only because the waiting list on the 2-5NL was so long and there were some fish at the 5-10 table. Lost my first buy-in in on unfortunate flop, middle set to a straight against the ONE other grinder at the table.
KxQxJx. Should have been able to get away from the hand, but thats okay. RELOAD
I flop bottom set against 2 fish sitting on 5buynis+ who are throwing money around like they're playing for quarters and i run into top set :O
