bought a treadmill/clotheshangersoon.jpgby whamm!, January 19
goal is to lose a lot of poker fat ive accumulated over 3 years mainly in the gut area. its become this gelatinous blob and im getting lines below my chest. motorized treadmills have become relatively cheap these days so I plan to watch stock tickers while walking ala tom cruise in vanilla sky lolol
anyone do a lot of sportsbetting? i started to do some lately just for fun, but addicting (lol) so think i might try and do more of it. i don't think i'm a great handicapper at any sport so seems like the best method is to just go line-shopping. only thing is i'm US so there's limited options and some seem sketchy. i have couple grand on Intertops from when i was playing poker there so i've only been using them so far to bet sports, with that kind of limited roll is it worth trying to spread it out over more sites for line-shopping (taking into account transaction fees, risk of sites closing/confiscating funds, etc.) or should i just stay at one site for now?
went bombed played nl100 4am lost aipf kk vs at and 35s cunts this shit is way softer than nl2 online lol. Doubled up aks vs t3o ai pf for 43bb down 45 bucks cool story bro
Hi, as I've seen some guys who invests in the market I was looking for any information could be helpful to get started,
like a good/safe site? restrictions law/country stuff?
I'd like to hear some words of motivation and advice from you guys. Here are my stats, please go ahead and find some leaks. Am I folding to cbets too often? Am I folding to 3bets too often?

Just started a fresh account on lock poker and played a bit this week for fun. Most of the players seem pretty bad and haven't had that many problems. Missed the challenge and logic of poker and wanted to get back into it again. So I was looking over my HEM stats and then I noticed this.
Wtf is this. 8 BI of rake in 6.3k hands? That's less than losing a buy-in to rake per 1000 hands. Unreal.
Not that I care that much about the money, but losing that much to rake makes me feel like you have to be a seriously rock solid and good player if you want any chance to be beating this in the long run. It's not like I even have to be slightly better than everyone else. It's almost as if I have to be at 100% all the time and be making 0 mistakes in order to profit.
Immediately went around looking for a rakeback deal on this. Found a deal at raketherake for like 36% dealt rakeback and a 10% point conversion into cash exchange. If I could get even a piece of what I've been losing back I'd be happy.
Anyone know what stake levels the rake starts becoming semi reasonable? (if at all?)
TL;DR
-Got account on lock poker
-playing again for the fun/challenge
-people suck
-rake is huge
-looked around for rakeback
-does it get better?
Happy January,
Hope the new year is being kind to you, it has been a great start for me.
I was hoping someone that has played around with HM a bit more than me could let me know how to set it up to see how a specific holding measures up in different situations.
Eg. KQoff vs a raise and one caller.
Or to see a certain hand by position Eg. 88 utg.
I know how to see by position and by situation, but can you focus it on specific hands?
Also, I will be heading to Vancouver Mainland this week on buisness for a week. I really only have about 2-3days of work to do so was hoping to play some live games while visiting. What are the best venues out there? Is there any live LHE action or all NL? Do any rooms offer mixed game or Ohmaha/8b?
Heading to Vegas in 2nd week of Feb also, maybe you will see me at the Bellagio.
Sup, I'm very drunk but a friend talked to me about these one so I'll rather mention them here
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt.
What I did have, however, was contempt for the opinions of other people that bordered on sociopathic and a belief in myself that could only have been construed as psychotic by my peers. Provided you have those two things, you can quite literally achieve any goal you set for yourself.” – Jamie Lewis
Most power lifters share some common defects, and as a whole for whatever reason, LOVE to punish, beat and torture ourselves beyond the limits of mind and body. It is our spirit that prevails. This defect of intelligence and sensibility pushes us onto the next level, makes us better and stronger. We all have lifted sick and badly hurt. When this subject comes up with normal people and other meatheads, we all have the prideful smile when we talk about lifting with a 100 degree temperature or a torn groin. Thank God that therapy doesn't work on us." - Captain Kirk
Almost 70bi under EV. Whole year looks even worse, going busto within a week with the way things are going. Over 100bi ds atm I think, don't really wanna check that. Hating life.
I'm curious about doing some volunteer work overseas, in less fortunate countries, tho I don't have any "useful" skills that'll be a benefit to anyone. If I go to college, what should I take that'll be useful for volunteer work and helping people? something no longer than 1-2 years, any ideas?
It feels pretty shitty knowingly living a meaningless life. Sitting in front of my computer all day has taken it's tole on me; depression. I need to find something more.. I've been losing interest in poker for awhile now. so clueless on what to do with my life.
well the title of the my blog very well relates to this downswing I havent really won at 16 and 25nl since last year Dec. This month really Ive been having some of my worst sessions so far. I know downswing happens and yes I do get this "sick to my stomach" feeling when it occurs. ROFL thread helps alot when I take breaks from playing its been funny as fuk lately. Also TalentedTom, stroggoz, longple and wobbly continue to comment on hands even though they are microstakes sometimes. cheers.
Also this title relates to the 2nd part of this blog, Im really freaked out when it comes to heights and I usually like to watch videos about people messin around with tall ass structures and shit. Dont ask me why,but probably because I get this wierd "sick to my stomach" feeling when I imagine myself in their shoes but while still being safe at home. lol.
