So two days ago I had a pretty bad session where I dropped 3 buyins. Some setups, some beats and some bad mistakes. Yesterday I decided to play only 4 tables from now on (as I've been usually playing 6 lately) and really focus on the tables and watch all the action, trying to figure what my opponents have, their betting patterns, hand ranges etc etc. I played really good, had some beats but still won $150. Today I decided to finish clearing my reload bonus on FTP and play ~1,5-2k hands on FTP. I went on a nice heater - biggest one I've ever had. In the first 200 hands I stacked some donks like 3 times. After 400 hands or so I was up like $350 and wanted to call it a session but I figured that I need to play more if I'm running so good. And it was a good decision. Even though I got stacked like 3 times I still won over $700 in 1,7k hands which is my best score during one session I think.
It felt really good to finally have a session like this. Boosted up my confidence a lot. I was running good but also targeting fish with some strict table selection. Thanks to it, after like 3hrs of waiting to stack a huge donk this hand came:

Overal I hit some good hands, made some nice calls and bluffs, hit some draws but also ran w/ my OESD + FD into bigger FD etc etc. My roll is ready for nl200 I think but I'm gonna continue grinding nl100 until I pass my exam.
Oh and that's how happy I was after the session (it's not me on this picture though):
i was lucky tho, without this hand this would have been only a +80$ session

GOD really exists despite what alot of faggots people on the internet like to say to the contrary(emos!) Alot of these same people talk about wars and deaths blah blah blah,but guess what? We die! Everyone reading this is going to die at some point. So don't be emo and diss God about it.You have a short amount of time to figure life out before you die. Being an emo and dissing God isn't the answer to your questions about life. Infact it's just pushing away all of the hard questions in favor of easy answers. You can either pursue all of the hard questions in life and find all the hard answers in the bible, which is hard, or you can just do the easy thing that everybody does and say "god doesn't exist because the world is screwed up blah blah blah oh what an emo retard am i" and then the world will just continue to be as screwed up as ever.Guess what , the world has always been screwed up and always will be screwed up.People have always died whether there have been wars or not and they always will die whether there are wars or not. Why do people rape and harm others? That's a better question to ask yourself.Do you want to be one of those people who rapes and harms people because it makes YOU feel good? Maybe you want to be one of those people who is a dictator who causes wars? I'd rather follow God myself.Some people won't like your opinions and might even try and call you hateful or racist or something just for saying something that isn't politically correct.But just remember that they hate God and would rape someone just to get their own rocks off! They might as well be Adolf Hitler.You know society is retarded like that and tries to say that truly mean and vicious and hateful actions aren't that bad and shouldn't be punished but politically incorrect speech is hateful and intolerant and totally unforgiveable.
God is real , I hope some of you will realise it and find God.There aren't always easy answers.What if everyone did evil everytime they didn't find a quick and easy to answer to a problem?
"Oh boo hoo , google failed me i think i'll go out and commit rape and rob a bank,boo hoo"...
if you dont well have fun in hell for enternity ill be laughing at you from heaven
life is very precious and very delicate so be very careful with it or you could wind up dead or rotting in jail somewhere...
or what about guilt? would you feel good about yourself if you raped an killed somebody?
this is why we need to listen to God and get his good input instead of all of society's bad input all the time
all of life's answers are in the bible, do not question it's truthfulness, simply be grateful to HIM
God has a great sense of humor but he likes to make the jokes on those who hate him.I would advise against mocking God though.That would be very ill-advised.
If you really think about it and study you cant deny HIS existence and HIS word, yeah im sure we all "evolved" from monkeys but you fags can burn in hell, all the more bananas for me in heaven
so yeah, poker has been pretty ordinary i have discovered i have a few to many leaks that have developed lately don't know how. So i'll be working over the next week or two to try n fix this up.
To help encourage my efforts i went out and brought some more plants for my fish tank and now it looks pretty good. The idea is to over a few months makes those plants grow, graft them and split them into more plants. This will result in what will hopefully be a nice slight densely planted tank, bad english i speak.
Also had to go out and buy a new light for my tank, that cost me about 200 bucks so with the plants i've spent another 260 on my tank over the past few days.
This has got to encourage me to play better poker heh and to reward myself for my efforts i've got a nice system thought up.
For every buyin i take off a fish, i get to buy one fish.
if this doesn't work i dont know what will haha.
Anyway sorry for such a quick update, didn't put much thought into it so next time i'll make it more interesting and what not.

So I got on the party poker wagon just in time, and now the titian poker promotion gives me another chance at poker should I donk off all my party chips. whoo-hoo!
love you meat and naz and all those who run liquid poker.
BUT I don't want to donk off all my party chips, so todays topic is:
finding the gigantic leaks in my game with poker tracker.
this is a bore-tastic record:
$0.02/$0.04 game on party
sample size: only 1000 hands... lack of accuracy likely
VPIP 19% PFR 8% total agg 1.5
pocket pairs total: -$6.55
suited connectors: +$9.36
off suited Ax KQ etc: -$4.46
play from Blinds: +3.00
so, from this basic analysis, I think I'm a calling station based on that agression factor. got to get big or go home.
I think my Preflop calling range is okay at 18, especially seeing as suited connectors seem profitable, I'd like to keep playing them.
I could tighten up by perhaps not playing Ax and KQo kind of hands as they seem to be getting me into trouble.
I should probably raise more preflop to disguise hands like suited connnectors... but there are always a few callers, and you can't really bluff them off on the flop I've found.
I felt like my blind play was fairly spewy, but apparently I'm up there, so who knows... maybe it was just one big hand i got lucky on. sample size is really too small
then on to the $5 buy-in winner takes all tourney. 10 players, I got knocked out by my inability to change my line after I get a read. I saw my opponent get all excited by a straight making 7 on the turn, but I still bet out when he checked to me. haha, gotta get more reliant on my reads, re-evaluate the hand every time its my turn.
but I've won that tourney 2/5 times, so not too bad.
But I think this is the important thing... I've got to be less rigid and re-evaluate the hand each time it is my turn to act. I think this kind of rigidity is what is leading to my calling station spewing.
big thanks
to locoo for offering to obs a few tables with me and lend me his 5NL dominating experience.
to twotimesopt for digging up dauts poker vid. and also to daut for making the vid. great stuff.
I woke up and played some poker today, for about 50 minutes, then got distracted. Been running pretty good so far, but not so sure I've been making the right plays because there are so many weak players.
Logged off poker and fired up starcraft like a loser and got a msg from this guy who wanted to try out for our team. I'm retired, but was looking for some funnnnn.
200nl full ring is just soooo easy. Played first session at it in awhile and it went ok. I actually won the most buyins I think I've ever won in one session, but it was unfortunate because I ran really badly. I lost a few set over sets which never happens to me usually.
I also find 200nl Full Ring regulars to be worse than 100nl regulars if that's even possible. Must be variance.
I caught someone tilting bigtime who tilted away like 600 to me with random K high bluffs, pretty lucky.
In other news, I posted some hot jams and everyone was trying to ban me and it just really upsets me because I'm kind of emotional and generally feel misunderstood. It sucks when you try to reach out to people and they bite you, you know? I just try so hard to help people out and make people like me but it never seems to work, I don't know what's wrong with me...
REALLY EXCITING second post!1``by twotimesopt, April 27
Hello LP
Well, in my last post, I spoke of a video that was made by LP's own Big Balls (Daut) when he was playing mid-stakes FR. This video really opened my eyes to a lot of important concepts of NLHE, and somebody asked me if it was still available. So, since you ingrates are incapable of using the search feature, I have generously found the thread for you:
Also, KingKory has requested that I make a video, so I will probably try to make one the next time I play and post it on here. I will most likely play 400nl 6max, but I could also do FR or lower stakes if people want. Post comments if you have a preference.
Beat: I don't have time to play much.
Brag: I've been running pretty well recently.
there is way to cheat on ultimate bet. if youre in a big hand and dont wanna call all your money because you might be beat. you can disc and the pot will stay the size it is and you can still win it if you have the best hand !
i've seen some player abusing this on the high stakes table and its the gayest thing ever.
so iwanted to play poker at 1PM but the internet was down.. it came back 30 minutes later and decided to play.
1 hour and a half later this hand happenned at 200nl:
3 way limped pot (pot = 6$) and i flop a ten-high flush draw. 1st guy leads for 5$ and i decided to just call.. 3rd guy also call
pot=21$
turn completes my flush, 1st guy check, i bet 16-18$.. 3rd guy calls and the 1st guy raise to like 70$.
i think for a few seconds and im about certain im beat.. the guy is 15/10 and i dont think he ever bluffs in that spot + the pot is small.
so i move the mouse over the "fold" button then...
internet goes down again.. for 3-4 minutes T_T
when it comes back, the other guy is all pissed (he had a higher flush), called me a cheater with all the variations of the f-word and said he would report me..
cant blame him.. its the perfect spot for a cheater to disc. i would have reacted the same way i think.
now there is a few players at 200nl that thinks im a cheater,this guy will probably tell everyone each time i join a table.. plus i will probably be investigated by UB.. god im so pissed
My BR is stucked between 120 and 140 for a few days. One of the reasons i think it's happening, it's because i do some stupid shit sometimes. Like this:
I lerned a lot since I got PT (like stealind blinds ), and I think I'm progressing, except for these shit I do sometimes. Gotta stop doing that. If weren't for these two hands I would be positive today.
Was going to play an afternoon session online, but got sidetracked and ended up hanging out with friends and getting sloppy and going out for steaks. Good times. Yum.
Played for about an hour when I got home and cashed $50. *twirl*.
Went to the live game again tonight (yah, it's probably less profitable per hour than online play, but live poker is so fun). Got busted early on with KK vs my AKs all in preflop. Doh. Two hands later I run queens into aces. Doh doh. My donkalicious image got me some loose action, and I was able to leave the game a whopping $10 winner a few hours later. The AKs I don't mind my play the way the hand went down - but my queens play was bad. I knew the guy would only play AA/KK the way he did preflop, and I still CALLED all-in anyways with queens, as I was steaming a bit. Oops.
Anyways, at least I collected myself and played my A game from then on and got everything back. Up a total of $1050 for the week.
Drew - it's a no go. I talked to Kim, and she actually is arriving Friday night, and, well... Blech, sorry. Looks like I'll be enjoying the draft solo from the couch.

Played a very short session of NL $200 at UB today to clear the last 11 points I needed for this week's points for cash, and ran sick hot. Stack-a-donk worked to perfection with AA and KK, and finished up about $500 after less than 100 hands. Just installed UltimateBuddy as well, and saw a huge fish playing $5/$10 NL. Resisted the urge to jump up and play him there, but took a shot when he was playing $2/$4 later. I got hit in the face with the deck in the first orbit, but couldn't connect postflop. Then I stacked him with QQ against 77 on a 852 flop, 6 turn, 5 river. Played barely over 100 hands today, but it was a good one:
