You can get it off of pirate bay itself obviously.
There is also a youtube for convenience.
Haven't got around to watching it just yet but saw it came out recently and figured I'd share as there would probably be some people here who may be interested.
First time stippling a pistol and it turned out so good I wanted to share. I went right to action with no practice. I'm very proud of my work 8) Grip feels great and I'm excited to test it out tomorrow. I'm still debating whether I should stipple the top or leave it as it is.
I've decided to make blog here. I'm a passive user for few years, i mostly visited lp for rofl thread and to read some blogs. I'm playing poker for 4-5 years and it's my primary income as a student. I've been winning reg on NL50 and i was shoting NL100 in 2008. than i had first downswing and felt to NL25/50 which i played in 2009/10. In 2010 my friend gave me stacking but it failed and i was almost busto.
I almost quit poker and started in september 12' on NL4-10. I hard grinded and in december i hit one mtt which gave me roll on NL50. So here's a thing I changed my site from Boss to Ongame.
Started on NL20 cause i didn't know software, in a week i was trying ten tabling and started loosing, i was down 20 buyins (15 under ev)...then i took a break from NLHE on PLO and made some cash up. After that i was trying NL30 which is i think much better then 20, and i'm more comfortable there. But Last two weeks i'm in loss, my mindset is really bad and i don't know what to do.
So I'm trying to find coach, that can help me for few sessions, in spots which i'm not sure about and mostly to improve my agression factor, which is really low...
I'm looking for winning NL50-100 reg, with constant winning graph and with fair price cause of my stakes...
So if someone have an interesst pm me..
Hope my next blog will be with improvements and some rising graph
athene recently came out with a new product ahtene xtreme. I've been a fan of athene for years and he is the reason I got into poker. For those who don't know him, he has many world records starting in world of warcraft, played poker for 1-2 years and made 300k. he also played 1 million hands in a month. Anyways I don't wanna promote his product, was just interested in what you guys thought of it? I might try it out, it basically let's you focus more for around 3-6 hours.
Hey guys,
I took a big step/risk today and posted a youtube video of myself playing.
I want to start giving out the knowledge, but it is scary.
What if people think I suck?
What if my opponents watch and find out how to destroy my game?
Anyways, it is too late now. First video is out there.
Would love some feedback from my fellow LPer's. Enigma LHE Intro video
I feel like im getting more dumb, I feel like everyones getting more dumb, I dont have anything to compare it to as I have no lived a long time but I feel like somethings goin on, drugs , bad air , bad unnatural food , to much looking at screens thats my pick. Thoughts?
Pretty simple question, was wondering ur responses.
is life that hard and we wish to do things that sort of pause/skip life?
- play video games, or golf, or surf the internet, play billiards, go out with friends
these are all so much easier than doing your hw, studying, keeping up with the news, etc but we all know these are absolutely more + Ev in the longrun
why do we discount the cost of these activities so much? we are rational beings, i suppose, this might be a false premise, but assumign that we are rational beings(we should start from somewhere no?) the only we would choose procrastination is if we truly believe doing the more "productive" thing is actually less +EV than we think, and therefore we can take pleasure in our procrastination.
tell me waht you think. been trying to be logical about the procrastination, (Dota2/watching gomtv)and i've managed to cut it down, but still have massive binges
Ever since Neilly left LP, something has been bothering me. Nobody just leaves LP. Sure, he may have been banned, but at some point he would certainly pop up with a new account as “NeillyQK” or “lovesweedandpoker” or something. But there’s been nothing; it doesn’t make sense. Unless, of course, he never actually left.
After doing some research, I’ve made some interesting comparisons between Neilly and another LP poster + Show Spoiler +
-Both have had their greatest poker success in tournaments
-Both have played online cash games as high as 25/50
-If his name is Neilly, why does he always sign out of his blog posts as “Ryan”? *Suspected same names*
-Both are significantly involved in “staking” in their own particular ways.
-Same age? I was unable to find this data but it has to be close.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. As we all know, Daut loves his math. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. What may be less known, however, is that “Neilly” likes math as well. When Lemon confronted him in this hand, asking if he uses math, the truth came out:
“im a very mathematical player”
He continues, going on to say:
“…I know all the odds in poker”.
All the odds? Impressive, Neilly. Maybe a little too impressive.
Then there’s Neilly’s well-known fondness of weed. Well, apparently Daut is no noobie to the doobie himself. Interesting how this detail also happens to turn up on Neilly’s blog, too:
And where does Neilly keep getting his money from, anyway? Are we to believe that people continue to throw money at him given his history? That seems a bit far-fetched. But what if he has a financially successful friend/alternate personality...who just so happens to be in the staking business.
It's easy to see how the pieces of the puzzle fit together now, but in reality he was dropping hints long ago for anyone who paid attention.
And of course there's the bi-polar issue. Neilly has mentioned being bipolar in numerous blog posts. Now I want you to stay with me on this. Before the PCA win, before CardRunners, before staking and significant cash game success, what was Daut known for? Making mind-bogglingly nitty folds. He posted hand after hand, folding bottom set on a dry board, and was swarmed by other posters saying that such things are not done. This certainly must have eaten at his psyche. I believe this is what spurred on the creation of his alternate personality.
All of the rage and animosity he had built up over being called a nit all the time finally had an outlet. His alternate personality could do all the things he never could - have no regard for money, and live a care-free life of degeneracy without an ounce of common sense. What a wonderful release that must have been.
Finally, I'll leave you with this cryptic block of text left by Daut (again, in Neilly's blog)...
”I actually respect neilly quite a bit. Despite his mistakes he has an amazing work ethic and a really good attitude. He also does have some impressive results in tournaments. He is a great example of someone with very limited brain power who can succeed in poker by working really hard and staying positive. Almost everyone else that is successful on LP is very smart or at least has above average intellect. Neilly seems like he might be the dumbest person on LP. I would be surprised if his iq was above 90. I mean the guy might even be clinically Mentally Retarded. Neilly is working with much less upstairs than everyone else but has actually accomplished a lot more than many other LPers. Of course he did go ahead and flush most or all of those successes down the toilet by playing in games he shouldnt have, but that doesnt mean he wasnt a good poker player in his own game.
We can learn a lot from how hard neilly grinds and always seems to keep a positive attitude despite getting hated on nonstop, being perpetually broke, playing absurd hours in poker, having the intelligence of a 2 year old down syndrome child and constantly trying to pay off debts. im curious how far you guys would go if you made forrest gump look like albert einstein.”
What the fuck does that even mean? Nobody really knows. It's like a compliment tortilla stuffed with flames. But if that isn't a bipolar-sounding quote I don't know what is.
My mom's kindle was tilting the shit out of her. She would order stuff from amazon and it wouldnt show up in her library, its a simple device with no buttons and hard to get used to and she preferred reading on her ipad so she gave it to me. Since then i've read 7 books and can barely put the thing down.
books ive read:
hunger games trilogy - was an enjoyable and quick read.
Speaker for the Dead: http://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Dead-Ender-Book-2/dp/0812550757
The sequel to Ender's Game. Well kind of the sequel. The author later decided to add lots of prequels and interquels so there are a few books that take place in between, but this is the next book he wrote in the series and I have decided to skip over most of the others. Loved it even more than Ender's game.
Xenocide: http://www.amazon.com/Xenocide-Ender-Book-Orson-Scott/dp/0812509250
the third book in the Ender's game series. its somewhat different than the first two, its turned very philosophical and talky but I love it. I have never been as infuriated with characters in a work of fiction as I am with this book and I think thats a good sign. I imagine most people who read Ender's Game either stopped after the first or second book and never reached the third. Def worth continuing forward.
My february reading list is the last few books in the Ender's game series. Children of the Mind and whatever comes after that in the main ender series. Then I will probably move on to some nonfiction works.
you guys recommend anything else that falls into line with the books ive been reading? or any recommendations whatsoever,im on pace to read about 85 books this year so probably have time for just about everything
That was the question of the night, when I adjusted my preflop raise strategy to always consist of 3.5BB+1/limper. I recently asked for some advice on how to deal with preflop overbetting in loose live games. Anyone who has played live surely knows what I'm talking about, as it is a very common occurrence. Basically fish have evolved to open 8-10BB's on average to try and limit how many players actually call them. They're trying to "weed out the rift raft" as they often put it, as they only want good hands to call them. That way when they lose they dont feel bad about being sucked out on, cuz "hey, at least you had a good hand". I started doing it too, albeit only because I expected to get massive value out of inferior hands. But it just never worked out right. So I said fuck it and played like I would online.
I ended up running $200 up to $1100 in 6 hours. It was like nothing. Sure I got a few extra callers at times, but really nothing that made life difficult for me. And now I'm not investing 40BB's every fucking hand I play. I even got a few jabs when people were like "lol, why are you raising so small, this isnt like last night". The greatest was raising $8 utg and being told "wow I didnt put you on aces with such a small raise" after I stacked one guy. And then 5 hands later stacking someone again with 24s when I raised $7 in the CO (guy tried to slowplay me in the BB with AA). While it might seem silly to balance your range vs fish, they do sorta notice what you're doing a little bit. They dont really adjust their ranges vs you, they just adjust their calling frequency.
What I found really advantageous about using online betsizing is that it allowed mt to raise speculative hands preflop like suited connectors and all my PP's. I could never raise $20 utg with 44 previously, but $7? Sure. And it works out great that 6 people call because thats exactly what I want with 44 anyway. And if I have AK and flop top pair, chances are it's the best hand anyhow and most of the table will fold to a cbet, and the 1-2 people who call are dominated as usual. So getting the pot HU doesnt really seem to serve any great purpose, since their ranges are all garbage in the first place. Online isolation is much more relevant since you actually expect callers and limpers to have playable hands. You really arent happy with AK when you raise $8 vs a bunch of regs and get 3 callers. But live it's fuckin ez peezy, because there's really no threat other than blatant suckouts which are far and few between.
Ultimately, I just felt so much more comfortable, like I was playing online more or less. The SPR was always fitting, I wasnt overcommitted to hands, everything just clicked since I felt like I was in control of every hand I played. Going to keep up this strat for awhile and make sure I wasnt just running hot.
