updates - live play - some FT'sby CamilaPunt, November 04
So here is a little update from whats been going on in my poker world.
First of, I just got back from the casino with a buddy of mine who is a 2+2'er. I never me him before in real life, but knew him from PS and aim, it ends up he is good friends with Lyric and so we know a lot of people in common. Anyway he is really cool and i had a fun time. His ps id is asydraine i think (i am really bad with names/nicks) and he plays 6max 1/2 - 2/4.
It's in saint louis and its pretty trashy place. Basically we see a lot of old guys who pass their time gambling and living in some home for old people. A lot of bums and some young kids.
As for the casino live play. First let me say I don't like casino play for obvious reason (too slow, only 1 table, etc).
Second, the players are bad -- yes, I concur, but this bad makes it harder for me then playing vs good players. The people are calling down super loose, no credit is given. If you raise pf after a few limpers you still get 5 people calling, etc.
Anyways I don't have much experience in the live play so it takes me a bit of time to adjust.
I ran like crap and got sucked out a bunch, won't bother with the suck out stories. Eventually my hands starting holding and the highlight hand of the night for me was this:
Someone limps and next guy raise (this is 1/2 btw). Guy in middle position (this black guy who seems to be good but is clearly frustrated at couple beats he took and hands not holding shoves for like 70 dollars.
I have A10 on the button and I am pretty sure I am ahead of his range, so I call. The big blind, also a shorty shoves for like 5 dollars extra.
Flop is 9Jx, big blind shows 99 for the set and I'm thinking "i'm screwed" ( with an Irish accent). Turn is Q, river is .. yes... K .
The black guy flips his hand over and is like "give me that mother fucking money.. SHIP IT to me". He manages to ramble a good 15 seconds while I am waiting for him and his Q10 to shut the hell up.
So I am like "wait up bro" as i flip my a10 and i start singing his stupid ramble back to him "GIVE ME THE MOFO money" he feels embarassed and leaves and whole table gets a good laugh.
Another comment is that I played a bunch with the gf of Nutsinyoureyes. I know that i know this guy from somewhere but I don't remember where. I think i used to play with him back in the day, if someone knows please share. Anyways this girl is a good looking dame which surprised me and my friend to see a good looking person on a saturday night alone playing poker. I figured she is a shark and found that to be true. She was probably the most solid player amongst all the wackos there.
Anyways, besides that the rest sucked. I wanted to leave like after 3 hours of playing, I was sick of it, but the 2+2'er was stuck and wanted to get even and since he was my ride back, we stayed like 8 hours and I was dead tired of playing.
Besides that I have had some recent success in tournies.
First success is I played a 50k gtd with a fellow lp'er from this site and offered him to split profits. I lose in 1st hour and he ends up winning for 13k.. ship 6.5k .
Second was i played this 109$ tourney and got 3rd. I managed to lose since this same buddy came to obs me and I lose everytime he obs me. I don't believe in superstitions but omg every friggin time he comes to obs me I lose, its mind boggling.
Finally yesterday I ft'ed the supernova. I lost in 8th place which sucked a lot cause I had good amount of chips. I made a horrible choice of trying to bluff the chip leader who is a 50nl grinder/super light caller. Big mistake, oh well paid the price. I'd like to blame Kabutze on this bluff since I am a wuss and won't man up to my own faults. (he knows why)
And thats about it. I realize I suck at poker but manage somehow to get enough money to pay school and bills and live a comfortable life while doing something I enjoy. I am slowly trying to get better, but am super busy with school. I actually had a coaching lesson with a fellow lp'er for 1st time ever. Thought it was quite goot.
So its fun stuff. But right now I am in a critical point in life, about graduate school and need to choose what to do with life. The game of life still boggles me.. a lot, so I am lost so far.

I dumped close to 200 in SNGs/tourneys, with half of it coming in a 10R in October. But I also cleared a $1500 bonus, so I mean, in terms of winnings, meh. In terms of results... meh
So I realized that I didn't make an October post, and since I have nothing to do (see below) I decided I would.
I didn't get to play much in October, partly because of school, and partly because of the gf. And partly because I discovered I could get to AC in under an hour. So instead of doing the smart thing and putting the "college spending money" online and playing within my roll, I decided to play in AC far under-rolled.
AC went fairly well. The Hilton and Tropicana are soft games for 1/2, but I did manage to donk away $125 in tournaments at the Borgata and Taj. Overall I think I ended up about +$200 for my trips to AC (after gas and parking). I had some long-standing debts to pay off, so I got most of those taken care of, as well as a birthday present for the gf.
When I cam back and went to play Stars however, I decided that I wasn't making enough at the micro-stakes and decided to take the whole roll and move up, which wasn't isn't a good idea in theory, but turned out ok in practice. But then it didn't. But then it did again! But then it didn't. Here's the graph: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1624/pgraphkn6.jpg
And that doesn't even include the $200 I lost heads-up. The second fairly-large drop represents a drop to $8 in my roll. I managed to take that $8 and grind it back into about $60 or 70, I don't remember exactly how high it got, but that last drop was back at NL 50, and it was a fairly ridiculous hand too: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/304632
Anyway, I consider myself a decent winner at 1c/2c (13.84 PTBB/100 over 14k hands) so I will be re-depositing $200 and starting again at NL5 (where I'm not doing so hot yet). Just waiting on the bank to clear the deposit. Lesson learned, moving on. GL all.
BEAT: Car Broken Into + Laptop Stolenby JonnyCosMo, November 04
I'm on sick life tilt right now... so tonight I was going to go out to Mission Beach and drink it up with my friends. So I walk down to the private parking garage where my car is at and see this:
WHAT THE FUCK!?! So immediately when I saw it I knew exactly what was going to be missing... my $1200 laptop, and so I check the backseat where I left it and I see this:
Not really that upset about my laptop since I was going to give it to my sister and get a new Dell in a month anyways, but I'm like super heated about my car since I just got it 2 weeks ago (biggest poker purchase so far) and so naturally my car is like my baby. Fuck the faggot that did this OMG...
Called the police after I saw this, they took down a police report on it, but no one came out to look at my car so I'm kinda confused about that. Tomorrow someone from the investigation department is suppose to call me to sort this shit out. First thing I do when I wake up tomorrow is walk straight down to the front office of the Promenades and bitch them out about the security of their gated parking community. Like seriously what the fuck... you only have access to our parking area if you have a key to the gate. Thank god for my friend coming over and making me cookie dough to munch on, otherwise I'd be on NL200 spewing like a monkey right now.
Been a while since i've posted on this thing. Poker has been sucking balls lately. After my 2nd shot at 50 NL i've falied miserably again. Fuck IDK what is wrong with me. I make 1-2 spewtard plays every session and just playing so bad. So i was so tilted i stack off 200 .5-1 HU like a retard.
Now that I got that out of the way My bankroll is at 1100 or should I move back down to 25 nl?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/308109 - should i lead flop? in this case i could have gotten more money if i had obviously. i figure in a 4way pot its probably better to lead anyways though?
Doing really well, playing a lot of hands. Hope to maintain the good run and grind my way up to NL100 in one month time.
I also got $350 of rakeback, so overall I'm very happy with Prima.
Best luck to all you guys playing there or on any other site,
Kapol
Todays session has been somewhat frustrating... But still up so i dont mind too much. Poker has been going decentish lately been playing alot of 25NL and sometimes taking shots at 50NL to see how i'd do, obviously theres barely no change but i'm still not roll'd for it so not going to move yet.
I feel i played good, which is all that matters in the end, regardless of what i'm up or down. Unfortunately i've got alot of hours to work next week so not much room for poker, but i'll keep trying...
Another thing thats pissing me off, i ordered FTP Tournament Guide, and David Sklansky Tourny Advanced over a month ago on FTP and it still hasnt come! .
After yesterdays shit day, I had my best day ever!
+8.5 buyins at NL20 over 2,500 hands. T'was good, got paid off with my big hands and didnt get coolered too many times. Hope this continues tomorrow.
10 Dollar [10 Minute Level] Final Table Finishby NewBornBaby, November 03
Hey all-
Just wanted to update. Good debut day for me on LP as I began my session around 2ish and recently finished. Played mostly sngs and mtts. Bad beats here and there but managed a third place finish in the 10 dollar MTT. Had a lot of great rail support from PU, Nazgul, nutshot, and BJL. Can't complain about all the LP love Hopefully next time I'll bring a big W for the LP crowd.
Headed to a party at the beach with the house then to a campus party back at school possibly. Expect a recap of the night tomorrow.
Update or When your best isn't even breakevenby Malmis, November 03
Ok, here is a fairly decently sized update... in two parts!
Short recap: Switched to NL10 6max because i found FR to be sort of boring. (I was down a bit too).
Problem was, i only had 140$. So after losing like 30$, i had to start grinding 6max NL2/NL4 again. Was rolled for NL10 again after something like 30k hands.
I've played NL10 6 max for about two weeks (Had an exam this Friday so haven't been able to play too many hands). And here are the results... !
Dunno if i have been running particularly bad or if i just suck. My guess is a bit of both.
But when i see all the shit that goes on at the tables.. Oh well
Part 2:
Went to Germany to meet up with Cyra(Maleorderbride on tl.net), his gf and some of their friends. Had a really good time and stuff, but i don't think you guys would find anything that interesting.
Some random notes and stuff tho:
*Americans APPARENTLY DON'T use the phrases "baller" and "ship it" at all. In fact, they will think you sound very eurotrashish. Especially if you say them every 10 minutes like me. And have a crappy drunken-swedish accent.
*Tip: Don't bring a 5$ pink pool toy to sleep on.
*Managed to arrive 2.5 hours early at the train station in Skövde. Also arrived at the airport 3.5 hours prior to my plane departing. Great planning skills =>
Ship the 700 bucks, was getting late and i clearly felt like i had an edge on both of them but i'd have to battle for an additional 1-2H. So we chopped it.
I plan on playing a lot of MTT, i enjoy them so far, will switch back to sngs/cash when they get boring.
Muhweli says I suck so im done at this forum he says I been lucky for 4 months in mtt and cash, so Ill be back in 4 months with even sicker results and playing higher cash games and owning this fucktard, ill join every table he is at until he gos to a site a american cannot play at or I bust his roll.
