Played a donkament just now, entered it for a laugh, $1 buyin one, ended up coming 5th for $75 so wasnt too bad, shame it took 6 hours LOL. Still happy since im pretty shit at tournament play and i think i played well so thats good. Got major major card dead at final table and even though i played like a fucking nit they still gave my steals no respect, maybe i just got unlucky and ran into real hands every time.

In other news i responded to gawdawafuls blog post and he picked me as the lucky recipient of some free lessonz! Had one today where i watched him play 3 tablez and he talked me thru some stuff over vent, was rly cool learnt some nice stuffz. cheers duuude.

Got a busy august IRL but shud get quite a lot of hands in, and with the coaching it gives me some extra motivation to finally beat nl25 once and for all.

So aims are:

Play at least 20k Hands of Nl25, thats an average of like less than 1k per day so should be achievable.

Play some more tournaments, even if they are only the $1 and $2 standard tournaments its good practice 4 a tournanoob like me.

Get very drunk on the 6th since i turn 21 then.

And thats about it~

In my last 10 attempts at the nightly 11 dollar horse tourney i have made the money in 7, including 4 final tables, and..... after tonight...... 2 wins. The tourney tonight went farely well after the 2nd razz session. Razz of course has been my bread and butter for the last few months so i was able to take advantage of some timely hands there. I made it to the final table as the chipleader (125k)and got down to 81k once after a guy hit a full boat on my in stud hi/lo. It was interesting hand as I thought he was playing for the low and I had make 2 pair (kings/somethings). But I obviously battled back and the big hand came when we were 5-handed. I was dealt JJ in the sb and saw a raise from the button. I 3-bet, only to be called by the bb and capped from the button. This made both other players pretty well pot committed as they had about 10-20k left each. When the flop came JJx.... we were 3-handed. :-) I ended up heads up playing omaha hi/lo, which i feel i'm proficient at, but is probably my worst game of the 5. I was able to scoop a couple decent pots, and from there just leaned on my opponent until it 385k vs. 28k. We got it in with something like 2358 for me vs. 889J for him. 2 pair of the flop for me = gg.

My cousin in Florida (Jim) happened to be watching as were my folks in Alexandria, KY so that was cool. Final tally for the win was 550 which was nice as while i was up on the day, i wasn't up much.

Also, I tied for 3rd in the greatest competition in the world on wednesday... but lost in a playoff. Heck of a comeback by me though if i must say so myself. i was even par through 13 and birdied 4 out of the last 5 holes to send it to the playoff. Final scores were (par 36) 31, 32, 32, for a total of 13 under par. Putt putt is fun.

Also, in real golf, i came within 3 and a half feet of my first ever hole in one on a 144 yard par 3 at Hickory Sticks Golf Course on Tuesday. finished birdie, par (lipped out the birdie put), bogey for a 97. That's a good score for me as I usually shoot around 100. I'll take it.

I went and saw my buddy Paul at the rehab center yesterday. He seems to be doing well and will be home on Monday. He's had brain cancer for the last 5 months and for a while lived with me during it. His optimism is awesome, and I think his spirituality helps him in that department. Keep him in your prayers if you will.

Sorry for being so long, but a lot has happened since my last post! I'm not sure if i will get to post tomorrow as I am coaching academic team practice, and going to see the new "Bourne" movie. Have a good one everybody!

So I thought I would register for a few micro tourneys to help pass the time.

I guess i ended up registering for the 10+1 rebuyz
I was raping the shit out of the tourney only rebought once (to 3k) and then added on.
then i ran into a bitch of a hand
set vs my nut flush
river = pair board

would have brought me to top 10 in chips with about 30k+ chips, which would have been very easy to chip up from imo. i might play that tourney more often, same with the 3r
Competition is so loose and pushes to easy with horrible hands.
guess i just have to ride out the variance.
now im sobering up and bored -______-;

Brag - Up like 200 in a few days playing donkamentz and 25nl / 50nl
beat - that hand
variance - whats that?

edit: I have 4 jobs now (i guess thats my variance)

1 Bank Teller
2 Data Entry for Grandparents
3 Data Entry for neighbor's business
4 starting my own buz very soon. in the planning stages

Yesterday and the days before I runned somewhat shitty and just yesterday and today I started running great. Today was totally great, after a few weeks sick beat I runned awesome. So fucking awesome I can't believe, in apprx 1hr I made around 10 buyins. I have to seriously thanks TheTrees , now that he is gone I can finally run well (JK ). He actually helped me on a shitload of different hands/situations and helped me have a better and more solid play. He also gave me his NL50 DB even if it took around 5 days and showed me how to use PokerAceHud to the fullest. Best of luck to him at NL100.

On a non-poker side I went at my friend cottage monday to wednesday. It was totally awesome, I introduced two of my friend to ketamine it was pretty damn funny. I had an out-of-body experience, it's not like it's the first time but it was still very deep and fun. One of my friend puked during half an hour, sorta suck for him but I believe he still liked even tho he was heavily fucked up. Two of the dude there played music pretty well so it was really chill. I also met some pretty girls there, they made some tasty fajitas chicken and we're really nice overall. I might have pics later if I get them one day.

Taken from: http://www.ncpc.org/cyberbullying

"If you' re like most teenagers, you spend a lot of time on a cell phone or instant messenger...You may have online friends whom you’ve never met in person, with whom you play games and exchange messages.Teens’ lives exist in a variety of places such as school hallways, part-time jobs, and friends’ houses. Now many teens also have lives on the Internet. And bullying has followed teens online.


Online bullying, called cyberbullying, happens when teens use the Internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person. Cyberbullying is a problem affecting almost half of all American teens."

This is an abomination that needs to stop. I for one am in total agreement with this article. Cyberbullying is a big problem nowadays and steps must be done to insure the safety of all people on the internet....




Yea right, you really expect me to say something like that reading this?
OH NOES SOMEONE IS INSULTING ME OVA THE INTARWEBS. I'M GONNA GO SLIT MY WRISTS.

Since when has our society become this spineless as to come up with bullshit like CYBERBULLYING. Holy shit this puts me on perma life tilt. I understand regular old fashioned bullying where you give the poor little kid a nice full course in bullying topped off with a swirly in the dirty toilet. But damn, someone typing "YOU ARE TEH GAYZ" over the internet is not something we should be losing sleep over. The longer i live the more i hate humanity.

I had a pretty big loss today, first big loss since my experiment, and dropped 1200. I made 375 yesterday so its only feeling like an 800$ loss at 30/60 razz. Lets just say I ran so bad it was gross, I didnt hit one draw, I was a bit tired, and I sort of didnt care about the money going back and forth. I think im a bit burnt out on razz, and am gonna try cash games again for a few days or so, and am gonna go back to razz afterwards. If I see a soft game going on itll probably draw me back sooner than later, but for now im gonna work on my holdem game. I think its important to have two games so that when you are bored of one you can switch to another and not super spew. Cause even today when I ran bad, there were some spots where I should just fold outright to get me out of sticky situations. Whatever Itll all come back to me

Had time to put in a nice session this afternoon and played pretty well.

Made a couple small mistakes but nothing major, and my reads are getting as good as ever.

Ran pretty bad though and broke even today, hopefully I'll be able to win some tomorrow;

heres my stats from todays session;

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1680 hands and saw flop:
- 104 out of 222 times while in big blind (46%)
- 42 out of 226 times while in small blind (18%)
- 133 out of 1232 times in other positions (10%)
- a total of 279 out of 1680 (16%)
Pots won at showdown - 34 of 70 (48%)
Pots won without showdown - 143

hard to earn fpp's down here, still 16k til supernova

GL everyone,
Ryan (DReaMe)

Play 185 hands in less than 15 minutes, make $100 and then bolt? Oh well...BR is $3300 (with rakeback, should be close to 3700). About to hit my goal of 4k before I have to go back to college. Cheers.

As many of you have seen, Ryan Daut is in his blog claiming that my future whife, random german beer drinking girl, is infact his girlfiend Helga. Most people have accepted this fact since Daut actually provided factual evidence in pictures of him and "Helga". Undisputable evidence, some would say.

Or is it?

I will hereby prove that theres pictures are fake, forged to make me give up on my goal to find this godess and when doing so giving Daut a head start.

Lets have a look at the first picture shall we?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/owned_sakisaki.jpg

Ah, such a cute couple in a loving embrace, you just cant fake love like that. Or can you? Lets take a closer look.

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4261/owneddauteq0.jpg

When we look closely at the shadows on #1. dauts shoulder and #2. the beer shadow, we come to a terrifying conclution. The light seems to be coming from two diffrent sources(as indicated by the arrows)eventhough the picture clearly states that daut and "helga" was outside on a bright sunny day when it was taken. Intriguing yes?


Well, sometimes light can play with the mind you might say. Not yet convinced? Lets continue.


http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Daut/owned_sakisaki2.jpg

A neat picture indeed, but is it real?

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/8451/owneddaut2mv8.jpg

Have a look at "Helga"s neck.(#1) if you focus totally on one spot by her neck it almost seems like the neck doesnt fit with the rest of the body. You can easily miss it but an experienced observer as myself did not. Well isnt that strange mr Daut? Strange indeed. Also note echos eyes(#2)and how they are completely fixed upon the camera. Thats just such a logic flaw that im surprised Daut overlooked it. There is just no way any guy would look at the camera when theres a hot chick like "Helga" present in the room. Especially not a british guy since the british werent really blessed with the best goods god had to offer when it comes to females(sorry guys but its true :/)

Still thinking the pictures are real? Fine, I have saved the best for last. Have a closer look at echos shirt. Looks just like a fresh tshirt any baller young chap would wear doesnt it? But theres more than meets the eye here. Lets see what comes out when we zoom in on the #3 square 10,000,000 times.

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4338/owneddaut3tq1.jpg

Daut, in his own ignorance and delusion of grandeur where so confident that he would never be caught in this horrible lie that he even left clues about his devious crime in the actual picture!

Oh Ryan Daut you fool! Thinking you could go up against me and live through another day!

My work here is done. Random german beer drinking girl, Im coming for you my love! And not even the 2007 PCA winner can stop me!

August 1st - 2nd, 2007

Today's summary:

http://www.coryland.net/uploads/pb080207.jpg

Commentary:

Yesterday morning, I went down a buy-in; I went up 2 BI's+ this morning. Not many huge hands, though. A few short-stackings.

Played well I think, except for the AK vs 87, and J7ss hands. I played both these hands strangely, and was stung for it.

Oh, and I just DL'd PokerEV. Here is my graph for the 30k break-even streak I'm currently going through.

http://www.coryland.net/uploads/kingkoryevgraph.jpg

Will someone kindly explain what I'm looking at, please? And how much merit do these graphs have? Ty!

Top Winners:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243134 Slow them Kings down.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243135 I've never been good at the whole "fold TPTK thing"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/242442 Favorite hand of the two sessions I think.


Top Losers

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243137 HEY GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243138 Very strange hand. I put the guy on air/set on the turn. How bad is this?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/242452 How often should I be C/F'ing this?


Hands of Note:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/242447 PISCOGAY!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243140 Who fires this turn? Nice check behind btw buddy.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/242454 Bleh

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243143 Am I getting enough value?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/243144 Misplay of the session. WHY DON'T YOU BET?! Just as bad as losing a ~$20 pot.

i started playing poker today instead of going to uni, I blew 5 buyins in less than 10 minutes so fuck that. I took out my annoyance by cleaning my room because obviously it needed to be done lol... it took ~4 hours but its nice to not have to step over piles of shit and put on clothes with relative confidence that there isnt rats or something nesting in them

if you were wondering why my room and all my possessions suck it's because i cbf getting new stuff. that couch really needs to go =/ i literally threw out about half my stuff lol... i have a super awesome plan to go to ikea but itll never actually happen

may this serve as motivation to you all

easily my highest gross day yet ^^

mostly played solid but really unhappy about 2 hands in particular that cost me a good amount.

Have enough for 25NL but might just stick it out at NL10 till I clear a bonus (only 2.5k raked hands left).

Will be going to 25NL FR not 6max =p

Will deposit on FTP for $600 bonus soon also

This is kinda embarrasing to admit but Im deeply in love.

It all started with somebody making a thread about getting their neteller money back. In said thread kingkory posted this picture:

http://www.coryland.net/uploads/beer.jpg

My first reaction was nothing more than omg cute girl drinking beer ship it new wallpaper. But as time went on, everytime i minimised a window, she was there. Smiling her beautiful smile at me, slowly melting my cold scandinavian heart.

I now have to admit it. Im deeply in love with random german beer drinking girl. I want nothing more than to marry her, raise a family and share plates of sauerkraut with here for the rest of my life.

We could buy a small cottage somewhere in south germany. We would start a small local beer brewery where my love will work while I play poker and raise our horde of 12 little german kids. Sometimes we invite our friendly neighbour Klaus the bratwurst maker and his whife Bertha for a delightful dinner.

Random german beer drinking girl's best friend "persumably hot girl to the left with a beer covering her face" lives nearby and sometimes when the kids are at summer camp she comes over to still random german beer drinking girl's craving for hot threesomes.

Basicly im pretty sure we would live a full happy life together. Theres just one little problem. I need to find out who she is. I can hardly ask here to marry me if I do not know her name and where she lives.

So if anyone has any information about random german beer drinking girl please let me know, this heartache is getting unbareable.

Finally Neteller will give us the prepaid card to Argentina =)
It will be a Global Wallet - Master Card

I wonder how the money conversion fees (1.9%) affects me. Do I lose money moving $ from Neteller to the card like the old card? (USD -> CAD -> USD)
