Poker Blogs

Got home from Argentina. Many long and funny stories, blah blah blah.

Resumed poker 2 nights later. Lost $150 in about 4 hours.

May 17th or 18th continued with $150 BR. May 23rd up to $650.

Several sites, but statistics begin when I first sat, exclusively, at 10 & 25 NL/PL 10max Hollywood Poker.

21st May @ 10pm to 23rd @ 5pm (HWP):

8981 hands @ 7.75bb100 playing like a total mass-table nit.

Waiting for Everest account to be unlocked so I can deposit the rest and get a fucking bonus at last.

Mother says I have to get a "proper" job. Although she is totally broke and complaining about money due to divorce, claims she doesn´t care about me making money from poker. Says she "doesn´t want that kind of lifestyle" in her house.

May move in with grandmother next week -.-

The night air was warm and still. Marissa lay back against the withered chimney, her long auburn hair bunched behind bare shoulders like a sinewy pillow. "Like a dead animal", she thought as she nested her head into a comfortable position and with a delicate grasp extracted the last grey stump from a packet of cigarettes.

"Oh, J, J, J", she whispered. Smoke curled from her lips, arching and tumbling toward the skyline of perpetual city smog. "Why did it have to be monkeys, J? Of all the furry four-limbed little beasts you could have chosen, why the most uncontrollable, the most savage of them all?"

She shook her head and sighed. The shadows appeared to stir for a moment, as if a face had rotated to meet her gaze. Then another voice spoke out, softer and sweeter like that of a child, but with the solemnity of a monk in sacred prayer.

"Monkeys are cool, Marissa."

And there was not much more to be said. The mobs would disperse, the fires would die out, and those survivors with their doorsteps intact would find them visited by all kinds of official-looking folk with inquiring minds. This didn't worry the Duo, who were packing their bags before even the first police wagon could crash violently out of control. And in any case, the only doorstep they had was the armful of bricks Marissa had decided to throw at it.

The docks were generally quiet this time of night, but with fire already licking the horizon there was not a captain awake without some eagerness to leave shore. Getting onboard wasn't entirely smooth-sailing but, "A lesson is learnt with every passing obstacle!", as Marissa liked to say.

"Make them smile, then make them grin", she addressed her little accomplice with perhaps too much of a smile herself, before lowering the choking victim to the ground. They watched together as the man became a corpse, and then slipped it into the waters like some unidentifiable floating wreckage, or an abandoned gift wrapped in lace and adorned by a crimson bow.

And so the two companions escaped St. Ulta City, leaving the rotting homes and crumbling peaks to rot and crumble and goodness knows else. The journey was a rough one - Marissa made sure of that. She even sent her student on a few tasks of her own.

"Errowid, eh? Pretty name...pretty unusual at any rate", the sailor leered. It takes fifteen muscles to smile and unfortunately this crooked soul was blessed with none of them. Instead he extended a mouthful of the foulest green slabs, so littered in spots of yellow and brown it put Errowid in mind of the time she shat on the pavings at a garden party. There were even bits of moss in there.

"You must be a stow-away, right? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. It can be our little secret." Errowid did not look worried. Her uncut, silver locks swayed in motion to the rocking waves. "Good girl, you're safe with me. Come give daddy a hug".

She took a step forward and frowned up at him, withdrawing a pair of tiny pink hands from the pockets of her robe. Her nails looked unusually long in the sparse candle-light of the cabin, and took on a metallic gleam that would put the knives of men to shame. The sailor didn't notice -

"But we simply must do something about your teeth," - until it was too late.

The screams were followed by a heavy thud as the man's severed jaw was deposited on the floorboards. Errowid peered back with the expression of someone with a job well done. The sailor stumbled backwards, clutching at his open throat, and collapsed onto a waiting Marissa. She shrieked in glee and bore down on his mangled remains, biting and gnawing with a bloodlust mirrored in ruby eyes. Moments later she dropped the twitching carcass with a cackle and grabbed Errowid by the arm. In an instant they were gone, leaving only ripples in blood for the sailors to fear.

How thou becomst, most unholy legions of sex? For it is in essence of the body that we embrace the adolescent craving of man, and not of the mind. And what thoust is it that separates the one from the other, but the wanting and reasoning of such that lends to a better self.

Lo! that love is without lust, lest there be no love at all, and that love of lust is indeed lust in itself. Verily know that love repeats not as the semen squirt'th, but as all eternal memories can allow.

My night-time dreams, an off-worldly spectator might consider, are always of some ineffective hope - a desperate journey or striving left unsatisfied by the unforgiving realisation of dawn.

I feel perhaps these are the dreams of all young men freshly removed from the turnstiles of education, and that the pink deep clouds of comforting solace belong to an era forever past.

O! to sleep idly within a cot of feathers, than to brave the staircase that may lead to a bedroom of thorns.

There was one table running, the occupants of which ranged from forty to fifty years of age, with a single bearded anomaly who resembled Dolye Brunson right down to the sad, wise, unwavering glow of his eyes. I scrutinised each person carefully, with the meditative efficiency of a bee as it roams an exotic flowerbed.

"We're fucked", I said to Erik. A lone, full table of regulars - possibly some of the richest men in the district - stared back at us as if we were the very girls they might later purchase with our money.

After an impassioned wait we both sat down and bought in for the minimum 1000 peso. With an ante of 25 (there were no blinds) and a standard bet being at least the size of the pot it made sense to play safe and forget about raising non-premium hands. But this didn't seem to matter to most players and chips flew from stack to stack like silver between neighbouring magpies. After just three hands I had never felt more comfortable in my life.

By my 3rd Jack Daniels I'd won 1500 in chips and by my 6th I was up another 1k. A flopped ace here.. an overpair there.. As long as I didn't continue bet too much things were going swimmingly.

Well, inevitably the tides change, this tide in particular being the alcohol flowing through my blood. My opponents' habit of overbetting makes any mistake costly, and calling a river with ace high is simply idiotic.

In my final hand (stacks I can't remember, but they were large enough) I rather impatiently raised QJo to get one caller and a flop of Q55. This was an instant push and my opponent gaily flips Q5o; amidst a barrage of cussing scoops the pot.

"What the fuck was that? What the fuck are you doing? Queen five off? What the fuck?" I gave him the middle finger and promised I would be back for my money another day.

It feels like I've made very little the few weeks since I last posted (I'm on about $2100 - will stop posting this amount now for security's sake). Four days ago I finally knuckled down to regular play, however a variety of (computer) performance issues have made me reconsider gametype and yesterday I switched from 9t on 2 clients to 5t 5max on Hollywood. This is awesome so far; very fast-paced and forces me to adopt a higher level of focus - if only to keep from timing out.

I'm thinking a little about the reasons I play this game, and the degree to which motivation affects focus and quality of play. I'm a bit of an apathist on the whole - have little to no ambition - I simply aspire to be content. And it's easy to make me content.

Obviously my game suffers from this, so it's nice that I often wake up with a lucid dream that reminds me of my inadequacies, and the things I care about, and inspires a renewed vigour. A strange way to find motivation, but I take what I can get.

In other news I discovered a program on PTrack forums called PRfetch. It lets you import hand histories from the pokerroom database without having to obs. That means I can open any table and instantly have all data on my opponents...magic!

By the way, Poker Tracker (coupled with Gametime) is one sexy beast. It opens your eyes to the significant differences between your opponents, and allows you to make plays you wouldn't have previously thought to be intelligent in full ring.

just got back from the cinema. didn't see anything. walked round the shops for 30 minutes then watched everyone buy their tickets, sat in the car for another 30, and drove home. great. stupid family dinner. overtook 5 cars on the way there and back, pretty impressive for a rover metro in moderate rain/light ice

hit $1000 the other day. waiting for partypoker to unlock an account (taken 2 weeks so far, sigh) and for hollywood poker to cashout the $300 i made last week. 10nl 7-12 tabling hollywood poker, i recommend it with all my heart. too bad they have no rakeback, and force two big blinds per round; i might have been tempted to stay there. mm americans...yum yum.

tomorrow i guess i'll be ordering tracker at last. tried to get an old cracked version working yesterday, but release notes describe a whole load of bugs with prima, so i gave up.

i can't wait to start obsing 50nl. i will totally destroy them.

The teller position at the bank is pretty much awesome, the benefits i'm recieving + the pay + the chance at moving up the ladder in a year or two = niceeeeee

SKoT and I are also going to be opening up our own business soon. Where we will fix/upgrade/build computers and set-up LAN/Internet connections as well. I think it'll be pretty successful since a large majority of people don't really know much about computers and I believe there is a demand for this kind of work.

Other stuff
-----------

Went to my g/f's prom last week, was pretty fun. Only prom i've ever gone to so it was def. an experience I guess. Only badbeat was taking pictures beforehand with a bunch of random people i've never met before... awkward as fuck :-P


and finally BBV of the day


Bad Beat
--------
I stayed up until about 1 last night with SKoT drinking (mostly him lullz) and I had to wake up for work at 7.

Brag
----
I fell asleep at like 7 tonight

Variance
--------
I'm wide awake now.

peace

Damn straight! Second +$1k day in a row, and now all of a sudden I'm back ahead of where I was before my downswing. Today actually eclipsed my winningest day of yesterday by a few bucks. And yes, I did quit after I won the last big pot, with a slowplayed flopped set (!!!) that stacked two guys on the turn, one with TPGK and another with top two. Games were still mad profitable, but I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in ages, and the tables will still be there tomorrow. Graph to enjoy:

Oh yeah, and the next couple days will be last days to play poker in May. I'm leaving Saturday night for California, and will be there until the end of the month, so I have a couple days to add to my totals for this month. Right now, I'm up about $4kish total with rakeback and bonuses factored in, which isn't close to what I wanted to reach but still my best month to date. Guess June will have to be my breakout month, now that I know I'm capable of putting in ~75k hands in a month with school out of the way.

I sunk your battleship. I have been giving many opponents that feeling lately. Todays session was good, ran well again and played well for the most part although I was displeased by some of my loose plays towards the end of sessions. Overall up +$330.00 through 2k hands on the day. Goal of putting aside minimum $50.00 a day automatically, and challenging myself to reach up to $200.00 on a daily basis.

I have also been attempting to find ways to make poker less of a grind and give myself more fun. Multi-tabling cash games gets boring fast. So I've decided to learn MTT's a bit on the side. Just playing in one or two MTT's while having 4-6 cash tables open beside that allows me to play a longer session because I don't want to donk of my MTT if I go deep. Seems to be effective for helping me get more hands in.

GL all, wish me luck.

Blah, was hoping for a killer May but I've been doomswitched.

Btw if you want to download this program you can get it at http://www.pokerevsoftware.com/program/beta.html

It basically calculates your equity every time you were all in and then calculates how much you actually ended up winning.

Sometimes a session can be kinda decent even when it's in red.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198562 <- Can't do much.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198566 <- Just to get my hopes up.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198568 <- might've played this bad.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198569 <- random set up
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198570 <- Nice bluff by me. Might've had the best hand though.

Also, I flopped a few straights that didn't hold up and overall I couldn't hit shit. The good news is that I actually played pretty decent for the most part and I think I've gotten my hopes of a nice ending on the month back.

....done !!!

Yeah !!!! About marks : Literature 2 (for americans : 1 is A, 5 is E that means 2 is B), English 1, Geography 3 (stupid western asia like kazachstan or turkmenistan...) and Sociology 1

In literature I've got czech realism, english topic was food and sociology was "human, nature and culture (what is culture, what is nature, what are norms of society and how we can change them)

that means I've succesfully passed and now I'm ready for college and have now 5 months of free time... which means lot of poker work to do

Not quite, but very nice nonetheless. How do you break out of a downswing? With your biggest winning day ever. Hopefully this will snap me out of the funk of the past couple days. Was pretty frustrating at first after I went up $500 and then had a ~$1k downswing back down to -$500, and a grind overall, but hey, it paid off. Graph:

Today I had a long session with pathetic $ results. I did learn some things though.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3004 hands and saw flop:
- 237 out of 382 times while in big blind (62%)
- 94 out of 393 times while in small blind (23%)
- 331 out of 2229 times in other positions (14%)
- a total of 662 out of 3004 (22%)
Pots won at showdown - 78 of 129 (60%)
Pots won without showdown - 142

I was about to reach the 3000 hands when I got dealt AA and stacked two guys that made my session end with a +$1.50 after 3000 hands lol.

Badbeats:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198234 - Biggest badbeat of my day. Flopped the nuts with a possibility to improve it into a straightflush. Turn improved my straight to a flush. River made me wanna puke.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198224 - KK vs AK... 3outs ftw!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198209 - TPTK with a flush draw. Flush never came and lost with AK vs KT...

Winning hands

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198196 - We both flopped a flush, but mine was higher. I stacked that asshole and im proud of it.

And thats pretty much about it... I stacked some guys but just because they wanted to give his money away. Some of them didn't even had a hand...

So I won $1.50 today and learn a lot of things in this 3k hand session... still, I have TONS more things to learn... patience is all I need...

So Lyric msgs me last night at 3:00am and informs me that some chick on 2+2 saw my picture from the Bahamas and thinks I'm cute. LOL... Don't believe me?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sho....php?Cat=0&Number=8746382&page=0&vc=1

Ding! The verdict is: The asian one is cute! There is a ego-booster for you. And to add to this ego boost, I'm finally having a winning week at poker. I was down like $5500 at the lowest point this month but I've gotten myself back to only being down $2700. Not bad at all. I'm still running pretty bad, but I think I'm playing my best. It also helped that I cashed in both the Sunday Warm-Up and the Sunday Million this past weekend.

In other news, my good friend Corwin Cole has organized and put together the Liquidpoker Private Lesson section where players can hire coaches for lessons. I have put my name up for coaching at a rate of $80 an hour (I make roughly $100/hr so I want to make it as close as possible to that). The catch is that I am not going to coach anyone higher than NL100. The reason for this is that I dont want to be helping out my fellow competition. That would be retarded. I'm actually interested in long-term students willing to set-up profit sharing deals over a period of hands. Discussion about my lesson rates can be handled by contacting me directly (AIM or MSN), but I think I'd be willing to do some lessons for just payment from profit-sharing depending on how trustworthy you are and what stakes you play.

If you are interested in lessons from me, and working out some sort of deal, contact me or just sign up through the Liquidpoker Lessons thing:

AIM: QStaRBoi
MSN: jonnycosmo@hotmail.com

To be quiet honest with you, I think [vital]Myth and Daut are pretty excellent coaches and worth every cent they are asking. Myth is especially smart about the game as I realized after talking to him tons at Vegas. Too bad the kid is so busy and doesn't get much time to log in some hands, otherwise he'd be total baller bankin yo~.

Btw, I'm going to be in Vegas from June 15th to July 3rd. Apparently I'm sharing a condo with actionDJ, pmilanov, SakiSaki, DF_Newb, and foxfox1. Should be some fun. Give me a holla if your in vegas during that time!
