I'm selling 2% shares at 75/25 (meaning for every 2% share you buy you make 75% of the profits on your 2%. The $2500 main event has a fixed share price of $52.4 per share.
The $300r has a variable share price. On average I am usually in for 5 buy-ins in rebuy tournaments so based on those numbers, one share will be $30.44. The actual number could be higher or lower though.
Anyone that invests is welcome to sweat me in the tournament and talk strategy. Let me know if you have any questions.
I deposited $50 onto Pokerstars about 2 months ago, I worked it up to $100 through grinding $1 9 and 18mans, I was cashing consistently.
Since about two weeks ago I cannot win. My bankroll has been slashed to about $30, mainly as a result of losing consistently in SNGs, I just cannot win, it's rare that I even cash. This has made me feel as if I'm a horrible player and I was merely on a good run of cards in the winning month and and a half where I built up my bankroll. This has shattered all my confidence and I just can't win now...
I've read the Harringtons, can't afford PXF and I've been sharing hand histories with friends, I just don't know what to do.
Surely my BR can't be cut in half just because of variance? I don't feel as if I've altered my play since I started winning but maybe I'm doing something differently which I'm not aware of.
I only started using Pokertracker a few weeks ago so my HHs from the winning month and a half aren't obtainable.
Currently my BR is sitting at $20 (LOL) so I feel like I'm playing mega scared cos I don't wanna go busto, even though I keep telling myself that most people go bust a few times before they becoming a 'winning' player, it's all subconscious thing I guess.
Anyway, I have $80 IRL money to my name ATM and the bank isn't open til tomorrow and I have a fine to pay ( drinking in public on schoolies ) btw schoolies is like australians spring break at the end of high school! so if anyone can ship me $50 on pokerstars i'd be willing to do something in return to prove im trustworthy, share a wow account password or something, i have no idea.
basically i just think if theres more in my physical roll i'll play better because i won't be scared, or if maybe anyone wants to trade $20 PS for $20 FTP i could have a go on full tilt with a clear head!
obv as soon as i'm up to $100 or if it goes back down to $50 i'd send it straight back because i wouldn't want to lose any of your moneysssss. for aus starcraft players im a good friend of ftrunkz and i'm sure he'd vouch for me!
So I just recenetly bought a really small laptop. Something that I can take to school everyday and is lighter than a book. SONY TZ Series. Anyway I bought it because my fuckin school schedual sucks so fuckin much this semester and I have to be in school like from 8am till 5pm EVERY fuckin single day(I have 40 credits this year. 20 each semester). And sometimes I have like 2-4 hours free slots in the middle of the day that I just cant do anything since I have a lab afterwards and all my friends are also in diffrent classes.
Today I opened my laptop and started playin poker in like a 3 hours free time I had and since the monitor is small I cant really multi table. So I started 4 (6max) games at 100nl(I SUCK at 6max games and I needs some imrpovment) And it worked out really good. I was having fun and time passed by great. So Im gonna do 6max at 4 tables whenever Im school and have free time and see how that will go and probably in a week or 2 maybe I move up to 200nl since Im over rolled for 200nl anyway.
And if I still suck at 6max madly after few weeks maybe I consider doing a session with someone.
So please try to comment on all the hands I will be posting in the future.
seeing how far i can get with 3 dollar brby snowman9, February 08
ok so i decided to try and test my patience and discipline..and see how far i can get with a 3 dollar bankroll..starting on micro stakes..because i heard a pro (i believe it was chris fergusen) turned 1dollar and to over 20k now im not saying im gonna turn 3 dollars into 20k but..i wanna see how far i can get..so ya ill keep you guys updated if your interested in seeing on how far i can get
I just realized PokerTracker3 was in a free open beta testing so I got a copy of it, and low and behold, I finally so a graph of my progress. I am actually a lot more relieved than before, because I thought my graph would be disgusting (well for tournaments it is!)
hi,
I only played a few hands because i had to work a lot, but nevertheless i run very good.
I hope i make more bucks this month to move up to NL200 as soon as possible.
Okay so i finsihed my last exams
Overall i did okayish i guess
I passed 7 of 8 theoretical tests with good results
Now i have 2 fucking months where i have free time 24/7
I started my first serious poker session 1 h ago and i am on a small break now.
Results so far are good.
I srated down - 23€ in the first 100 hands cause villians just hit every hand.
But then luck turned around and besides that i got pretty good reads on everyone on the table.
When i checked pokertracker for interim results after i won some pots i loved what i saw
I am pretty sure i am gonna make some good €uros today.
So I have like 3grand tied up in investments that wont be paying anytime soon so Ive been literally having to play to make money. So far going good, but Im still not playing anywhere near as much as I should. Going to work on at least 7-800 hands a day.
Im shortly rolled for 50nl because Ive withdrew close to a 1.5k but its pretty easy so I'm not worried. Running a little below expectation I think... some pretty sick stuff but I think everyone says that so w/e. Haven't been drinking NEARLY as much either(was going through about 3 liters of vodka per week for a while) and its helping I guess. Im working out more too, etc.
Finally declared major as Law Enforcement and planning on minoring in Computer Information Science and possibly Double Majoring if my schedule allows.
been padding the BR @ 50 NL fr because its so stupidly easy
was killing it for the past 3 days @ a pretty decent rate, somewhere around 8-12 ptbb or whatever it was ;o
then i played a 500 hand session last night where i ran bad for once in a week or so, and it was literal running bad ;o
I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE IT WAS 4 EPIC 2 OUTERS within 500 hands! Luckily i only lost about 4 Bi's and i wasnt super deep, and i got it in as the favorite each time so meh. It feels great actually, running "Bad" at a tiny limit like 50nl, perhaps this means i should move up to 100nl right now BECAUSE IM TOTALLY DUE TO HAVE MY LUCK TURN AROUND RIGHT !!111
Also got a new job @ telus that has pretty baller benefits, and the pay is right about what im making /hr playing 50nl anyway :
(everything is working out to me making around like 20-25~$ish @ 50nl, which is really decent for my age and making more than most other students living in shithole edmonton)
I've decided that i need to focus on BR building first and foremost, so i am going to get the Ole' BR to 5k (need another 1.8k after yesterday's -4bi session) before i make any sort of move towards coaching for 6max (where i really , really want to get better at. 45k hands of break-fucking-even @ 50 and 100nl 6max makes me want to puke). But for now, pounding FR nits and getting drawn out on is funner i guess. I'm just a glutton for FR punishment ;o
hmm.
it's always sunny in philadelphia is an e-mazing show
100 nl. still having a hard time at 100 nl. people float a lot more with garbage and pretty much every button raise is 3 bet. maybe ill build a nice roll for 100 nl and move to stars. i dont know yet. plus the fact that ive ran like shit hasnt helped.
I mean how can any band compare to their greatness.
Noone can,I claim U2 is the best band on the face of the earth,I get the chills when I listen to Electrical Storm,Numb,Helter Skelter,Staring at the sun and many others.
I think their impact is so great in a really good great way.
I'm fully aware I didn't discover anything new,but their ability in leaving me pretty much breathless whenever I hear some of their songs on the radio while in the bar or somewhere when it comes unexpected simply amazes me.
ok i had a fucking shit day yesterday literally.. and at one point dropped 13 buyins in 1000 hands
but ive made a sick ass comeback by playing my game and just staying focused...
