Yo,

so I've been having a good poker week. Only 2 break even days, all the other days I ran well. It resulted in me trampling the NL200 on UB and I finished of the remains of my deposit bonus playing NL400 cuz I was running good and playing confident. That last 600 hands on NL400 where like REALLY sick, as in me getting aces / kings like 12 times and hitting sets here and there. Eventually I got lots of action and went up another $1000.

I also got my new biggest pot ever:

I lost 70$ in two days in 3$ SnGs. I had 35% ROI until it. At the start it was PS variance, lost like 15 in a row, most of them like a favorite, then started tilting. Now if I try to play normal again I just can't win. It's just crazy.

So my plan is not to play poker.

Today's summary:

http://www.coryland.net/uploads/pb042607.jpg


Commentary:

Very good session this morning. After like, 50 hands I was up 2 BI's. I sort of wanted to stop playing at that point, and start tomorrow off even for the month. Am I a pussy for thinking like this? I eventually figured that if I can lose money this morning, I can just as easily lose it when I play tomorrow, and decided to keep playing. Still running only 6 tables, and I'm convinced that I'll need to move up to 9 very soon. At this rate, I'll be putting in 10K hands/month, and that just won't be enough

Winning some of the biggest pots I've won in a real long time, and it feels alright

Anyhow, a few interesting hands today.


Top 3 winners:

Hey everyone, I just wrote out a big long entry, then my IE decided to bitch out and close, making me lose it all.
Anyway, ill try to recreate (in word ofc ).


Pokers been taking a backseat lately while i dig deeper into underground/foreign horror/cult movies.

I have three flicks to watch today: Irreversible, Visitor Q, and Awakening.

Irreversible is a Drama made in South America(Edit: my bad, its a french film). Its on alot of shocker lists but it also comes with alot of great praise. Looks good

Visitor Q is another flick from director Takashi Miike (same guy that made ichi, Audition, and like hundreds of other movies). Super quick synopsis it seems to be about a VERY dysfunctional family. Miike never dissapoints though

Awakening is a short film from Spanish Director Nacho Cerda. I heard about him when reading about his movie Aftermath which was on alot of gore fans top ten lists. Awakening is about a kid who falls asleep in class and wakes up to find that time has stopped. (edit, its only 10 minutes long, and on youtube, here: Cerdas the Awakening) Doesnt the main character look like Spicolli from fast times at ridgemont high? lolol

Oh, and no, I havn't seen/had the courage to download Mordem yet.

http://membres.lycos.fr/gorezone/dvdcrypt/pix/reviews/abc/aumordum.jpg

Loco said he was going to check it out (comments plz if anyone has seen it) so best of luck to him. Im getting closer to being ready though, I watched some peices from Flower of Flesh and Blood (the clips are enough lol, dont need to watch 45 mins of it ) and I didnt have to watch it through my hands. Underground horror is fucked, like really really fucked.

Oh one movie worth mentioning is Nekromantik 2. Its a german horror flick frm the 90's about this female necrophelliac (who is actually really sexy) trying to hide her perversions from her boyfriend. Its not really that gory, and really only has one violent scene. Its actually more of a love story. Alot of people complained that it moved way too slow but i think those people missed the point. This movie has a reason for existing rather than for just shock value. (quick edit: I dont know what the director was thinking during the baby seal scene. Showing it for five seconds would have accomplished the same effect, we didnt need to watch that for 2 minutes!)

Anyways, heres poker from the last few days:

Ugh as everyone who's still using Neteller probably noticed they closed the Neteller Card. And this was the way I was always using to withdraw my monies. I could obviously withdraw them to my bank account but here's the problem. I've registered Neteller with my Polish address and my Polish bank account that I've already closed. Now that I moved to the UK like half year ago I've got a new address and a new bank account. I've already emailed Neteller to change my details but they're not anwsering. And I need to withdraw some money pretty soon and I had no idea how to do it. Finally I found a way - I deposited some $ on i4poker and even though I've registered there with my Polish address and deposited money using Neteller I was able to cash them out to my UK bank account. What a relief. lol netelleraments.

I spent like 4hrs in the morning trying to figure out how I can withdraw the money. Now it's time to play some poker but I'm not sure if it's possible cause my broadband really blows recently. Meh, everything is going wrong.

First off, SOME ONE TELL ME HOW TO POST SWEET IMAGES TO MY BLOG VIA LP SO I CAN SHOW YOU MY SICK NEW BACKGROUNDS

Today I had to play on FullTilt since Ultimate Bet was being a slut. I found a huge leak in my game though, and I was stoked about that. My leak is...

..I let my ego get infront of my game. I have the mentality of "I'm the one who three bets you, YOU DON'T THREE BET ME!". I fight back and make ego stands way too often and it costs me mad balls. Weak.

After talkin to Brendan and Kahn though a bit about it I have some new ideas how to mix it up a bit more. Tonight though was kinda weird in how I played.

I started off super card dead. I only played one medium-ish sized pot.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/181499

Gay that was standard I think. What am I going to do, lead the turn and fold to a push? Come on. Anyways, an hour and a half into the session I found out that I was stuck two buyins.

Every fucking continuation bet I nailed someone came over the top. I got 3 bet preflop by 9000 douche bags who'd have position on me and I'd have to give up my hand every time. I haven't had that happen in a long time where I play no big pots and drop two buyins like that. Usually I can atleast force action to keep my head above water but not this time. Maybe thats telling me something?

Then finally I was like OKAY YES A POT TY

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/181500

Double barrel ends up building pot for me when I luck sack. TY IM THE BEST!

After that I went on to grind out a bunch of small pots and turn my -2.5BI at one point into an up +.8 buyin. My stats PO'd me though, I fucking hate FTP.

I have *never* ran this tight over a session.
Hands: 1150
13.48/10.17/3.48

LOLTIGHTAMENTS

I haven't ran that card dead in forever. Everytime I'd pick up a hand to play the action had already gone nuts. No stacking with 64 tonight. =(

I leave you with hot babes.

Played an afternoon session, and lost $200. No real bad beats or such, I was just tired and not thinking clearly and just plain played tilty and bad. Gotta curb that crap.

Played an evening session, and ground $100 back. I noticed there were 3x as many players playing 1/2 at UB than .50/1, and with only about 7 tables of 100NL running usually all filled with regs, I wonder if the 200NL games are just better.

I decided to donk around with $50 I had kicking around on FTP tonight before bed, and this happened:

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8626/ftpbsgg0.jpg

This put me up $200 total for the day, so I guess I'm up $1000 total after my first 3 days. Woot.

Today was my first day with PT and I don't know how to use it to improve my game. But I will find out. I searched here to find some numbers to take as a base to guide me. I also found a p2p link to a helpfull article.

My stats for today:
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4294/254statsfj8.jpg

My numbers are not very good (VPIP/PFR/AF), from what i read need to be a little more agressive and play more hands.

Some hands:
1- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181199
Wow, this hands sux, just realized it now. Got lucky.

2- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181152

3- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181177
Third consecutive hand that he went all-in PF. Good call?

4- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181246
Very agressive guy. I had to do it.

5- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181211
Standard... Someday I'll have the guts to fold that.

6- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181326
Rakikoria was very agressive. Did I played it well?

7- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181371
I think it's fine. Overpocketpair...

I really have a problem with draws, I understand that pott odd thing but I don't know if I'm using it properly in the game.

8- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181208
"Lord is my sheperd", no he isn't.

9- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181239
Is this ok?

10- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181336
Bet more in any street? Played cautiously because there was a flush in the board.

11- http://www.liquidpoker.info/h/181330
Ppl in comments didn't like my fold, but if i think he have a flush is the right thing to do isn't it? Can't trust my reading skills yet tho.

I'll try to post more often now, since i got PT, a good resource to analyse my game. Need to learn to use it tho.
BTW, someone know how to select all sessions of the same day quickly? I always have to click one by one. =/

Finally, my daily graph. I wont post it every time, just today.

Was watching Shooter on a link provided off www.tv-links.co.uk and a hr and half or so into a 2hr movie, the movie stops loading. Fucking gay shit. Bad beat!

Update on my 100k hand run on 50nl. I'm 84k some hands in and have fallen below 5bb/100 over the whole run. Heres a graph since April 9th
http://www.sitefights.com/community/art/gawdawaful//9thto25th.jpg

With the new release of the medium stakes forum, I think I'll start playing more 100nl and cut down on the number of tables. I sure as hell am not helping my game progress along by 9 tabling 50nl like a robot all the time. Hopefully, this time I'll be there to stay, and not go crazy after long stretches of break even bs and cashout half my roll again.

Fantasy hockey!
Heres is a post consisting of all the teams. Score updates will be added in form of replies on a nightly/morningly basis in this blog post I guess.

My team:
Chris Drury (Buffalo)
Patrick Marleau (San Jose)
Maxim Afinogenov (Buffalo)
Daniel Briere (Buffalo)
Nicklas Lidstrom (Detroit)
Chris Pronger (Anaheim)
Roberto Luongo (VANCOUVER)

Gods team:
Goalie: M. Brodeur
Foward: J. Thornton
Foward: S. Gomez

Over the past week I've been having some really weird and detailed dreams, the hardest part is remembering them after they happen.

These were my dreams last night
-------------------------------
The first one started off at like a party, my family was there and the party was in some sort of party hall attached to a mall. Anyways there were some smaller rooms that branched off of the party hall so I peaked my head in a few and one of them had a game of poker going on. So I decided to play and I reached for my wallet and got out 200 dollars.

(I dont remember a lot of specific hands until this)
I was in the SB and the action was interesting, it was raise and called infront of me. Then this lady on the button just shoves for about 200~. I look down at rockets (OF COURSE) and insta call, the other two people fold.

She turns over 44, dominatedddddd. the flop comes down 10 6 7

Turn 4

River 6

(Thanks Lee, ur even raping my dreams)

Anyways I look back into my wallet and only find a few dollars so I decide to hit up the ATM and come back so I can bust her ass. As I make my way to the ATM I notice my sister and mom are both right next to it (great... both anti-poker) I devise of a plan to walk by it once and slide my card, then walk by it a second time to punch in my code. Finally a 3rd time to pick up the money and GTFO of there.

As I'm doing this I hear a terrible scream from outside the party hall, I glance over and people are running away from the doors. I continue to stand about 20 feet away just staring at the doors like an idiot while people seem to run for their lives. Then the doors open, it's people... As soon as I see them I instantly know they are zombies (sweet).

So I start booking my ass out the other door to the mall. as soon as I'm in the mall I realize I'm with a few of my friends and we start making our way the the stairs (we were on the 4th floor) as soon as we reach the stairs to go down we notice a paniced crowd coming down from the fifth floor, some zombies some people. So we are booking our asses down these stairs.

When we hit the 1st floor we notice zombies are flooding in from the Main Entrance doors and we decide to jump over a railing onto a platform (apparently there is a lower lvl for office shit) and we manage to get into a small office with re-inforced windows. We lock the doors and we start seeing zombies approach it (not slow zombies but the cracklings)

We know we have to get the fuck out of here and we look back at another door. We take a deep breath and open the door, armed with random office supplies we go inside. it was an emergency exit, and we're now outside. we start running as fast as we can away from the mall but a few zombies notice us and follow. It seems like they caught up almost instantly, I look back and 2 of our original party is getting ripped to shreds. I look forward again and see more zombies running down the street towards me, I'm fucked.

I stop in my tracks and remember saying 'fuck...'
As soon as the zombies got to me (you'd think I'd wake up at this point... WRONG) I see them biting me and I remember feeling a weird sensation throughout my body. As soon as that happened the dream stopped and everything went black.

It felt like I knew time was going by as my vision was black and that the dream was still going on. After a long feeling of this blackness I woke up.

(p.s. my other dream was about the devil but it's so fucking random I dont think it'd be as good of a story... the ending makes no sense, someone ends up scoring a goal to win our freedom... meh)



Life
----
is gooood. Have had a few job offers and I've narrowed it down between a bank teller and a sales associate. I'm leaning towards the teller because I think I'd like the job more but we'll have to see what they offer as for pay.

anyways gg gl hf

Faired okay at the live game again. The play there is pretty soft, but I'm not sure how I feel about keeping the odd hours I need for late night poker. Anyways I finished up a total of $650 yesterday, so it was a good day for me - and I'm up $800 in my first two days. I hope to keep running/playing well out of the gate to get some buffer cash built up for myself.

April 25th, 2007

Today's summary:

http://www.coryland.net/uploads/pb042507.jpg

Commentary:

So, I started this month with 25 BI's for 50NL. I'm currently down 3 BI's at 25NL, but won ~$115 at the Sunday donkament, so I'm right about even again.

I decided that it's long overdue for me to move up. It's been exactly 3 months since my last session of 50NL, and I sort of fell right back into it again. I was pretty comfortable. I plan to commit myself 100% to 50NL, and I won't be moving back down until I've reached a low of 15 BI's ($750).

I decided to start with 6 tables (hence the few hands), and I was able to handle them just fine. I plan to move to 9 by the beginning of next month.

Only a couple really interesting hands. Most of my losses were because of failed 2nd barrels (it's nice to know that not much changes when you move up ), and one semi-setup with TPTK.

Anyhow,

Top 3 winners:

Ugh.. So yesterday I went out with my 2 Polish friends, 2 girls from Holland and USA and a English/Turkish guy. We started by drinking some vodka with bitter lemon, then we had some straight Malibu and finally about 11:30pm we left to the club. On the bus we had some gin but it really tastes like shit when you drink it straight. Bleh. We got off the bus and headed to the club. The bouncer asked me for an ID so I showed him one and he was like "Hmm do you have a student ID?". So I said that I don't have one and he said "Ok". So why was he even asking? Anyway the party was called "Sex with robots" but I have no fkin idea why. Maybe it's just because of the music cause it sounded like playing on Commodore64 or Pegasus. So we started having pint after pint and I have no idea how many we had. The party was pretty shit but we had a good time anyway. On my way back I obviously had a kebab with a can of pink rubicon. I got home and I felt so drunk that I just wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible. I felt like I wanted to puke but somehow I managed to just pass out quickly.

I was waking up like 15 times in the morning cause I was sooo thirsty. So I drank over 2 litres of water and I finally woke up about 2pm when my friend phoned me. I wanted to watch a new episode of Heroes but my damn laptop didn't want to switch on. When the Windows was loading it would simply freeze and I couldn't do anything about it. Tried to use Windows CD and repair my Windows but my laptop would simply switch off in the middle of this. Somehow when I tried to switch it on for the 10th time it worked. But it's working a bit slowly now and the same is with my broadband. Any ideas?

So I started watching Heroes with a terrible hangover and the worst headache ever. Don't know why cause I haven't drunk that much yesterday. Maybe it's because of mixing everything. Whatever. So while I was watching Heroes I had to go to puke like 2 times. Strange thing is that there was no kebab in it. Just the water I drank in the morning. I'm totally fucked and it's 4pm now here and I still can't get out of my bed. Probably no studying and no poker today. Not good. I'm not drinking for another week or so. Maybe even till the exam.

Well at least I hope so.

Ok so I'm well rolled for nl25 at $900, which i played for a while , and was up 5 buy ins, buts its so fucking wierd, every time I get to 1500 hands, i get coolered like a bitch or ppl get mad lucky on me. Then at the very end i took this beat from a douche. This guy was a nit, but he acts pretty quicky with his good hands, he timebanked for a while then raised, i knew i had him but thats poker i guess.


http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/180875


So this had me on life tilt for like 15 minutes until i said, "suck it up you fucking pussy" while laying in bed. So i couldnt get to sleep and decided to hop on stars and play a lil sesh, played nl10, which is like the easiest game ever, lol. won 8 bis as u can see, so up a bit on the day. Now I am tired and i sleep, btw I'm moving up to nl50 at 1200 and back down at 1k if that happens to be the way the cookie crumbles.

peace.

I'm going to keep this first entry short and sweet just as an intro to what I'm playing.

I'm playing 6Max, 100Nl. My year started off great, then started running like shit for two months and finally started pulling out of it.

Thats about all you need to know.

Yep!

Yesterday something amazing hapenned and I somehow got PT from this guy. I've imediatelly jumped for PAhud and here we go . Here are few stats from yesterday and this morning
