Been playing on UB since like two weeks now. Started with a 350$ bankroll and now I'm up to 600~$. Went up and down and up then more down then wayyy up. I've learned a lot playing 25NL, I think I have a twice better play than 2 weeks ago. Meaning I sucked before now I'm ok, I surely make a lot of mistake still.

Alright LP and friends who are reading this, it’s been a few days now since I took a massive life beat worth about 3k+ and I'm still hoping it'll end with "and then Alan woke up, it was just a dream".

I've spent the past few nights sitting at home after going to University, or not going and hanging with friends, probably more of the latter actually. The problem with sitting at home is that I just sit there in front of my computer looking at my current bankroll online, just thinking.

I could be playing 100nl about to take a stab at 200nl.
Instead now I’m moving back down to 25nl and going to have to grind my way back up again even though I swore (Doc/Jonathon and Karma/Luke can vouch) that I would never go back down again.

I could have brought a really SICK computer/laptop.

The geek in my cries out in pain, you have no idea how much it hurts to know as I’ve been looking around on the net for things I could buy for $3000.
This is what is known as self-inflicted pain, fuck you neteller.

Oh some fish, some really COOL LOOKING FISH for my fish tank.
I would’ve been able to add more plants and buy driftwood and lots more fish if this hadn’t happened.
Turning my fish tank into something that would have looked like this, hopefully.

Also my dreams of starting up a live bankroll and playing at Crown every week to support myself during university have been swiftly ended.
Look, I even searched up and found some nice pictures to make myself even bitterer.

On a more positive note, I’m still healthy (debatable I know since I’m my computer hours upon hours a day and exercise errr rarely is a good word).
Got a few calls from places I applied for jobs at (mostly customer service things including call centers) and I withdrew some more money which is getting courier delivered to my place.
The check includes karma and doc’s money as well (so I’ll be sure to disappear when it arrives).
This should sustain me until I get myself a job I guess so I don’t have to be stint broke for the next month or so.

As for poker, I’ll play this w/e and let you guys know how it goes although we all know there’s only one way for it to go, badly.

P.S Anyone that can get me a decent job in Melbourne, holler at me.

P.P.S FUCK YOU NETELLER, FUCK YOU AND BURN IN HELL!

P.P.P.S BUT MOST OF ALL FUCK YOU, US GOVERNMENT FOR FUCKING AROUND WITH ONLINE POKER AND THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!

P.P.P.P.S Peace.

Okay so I went on a 10 buyin downswing over about 2.5k hands and then I won it all back over 1.5k hands (lol) but now I am down 2buyins. I am 5 buyins away from being rolled to play 50nl, and I decided I WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL I HAVE THE MONEIES!

I have to be at the dentist in 8 hours (and I need sleep in between now and then) but I WILL NOT QUIT.

WISH ME LUCK LP! This will either end happily ever after, or I will go on monkey tilt and raise any 2 and go on another 10bi swing...coz I am starting to get really tired. Some bitch stacked my KK vs his QQ just then, but he had to put in like $3.25pf and he only had $24 behind him so he can blow me XD.

Well, partypoker is a joke, i'm not running really well, got into lots of setups... but ya the players are so bad -.-v

Also i realized it's kinda expansive to play badbeat jackpot tables I guess it's fine when u're playing NL400 and up.. neway my bankroll as of now on PP is 2830$, cashed out 3k on UB and waiting for 1.1k rakeback, i might move up to NL200 within the next week.

Ah and school sucks, i'm failing most of my classes so far, except french cuz well, french is easy... everything else requires me to actually study... but wtf.. studying is not for me :O

I got back home from school, and I was waiting to eat dinner, but thought of having a shower first.

I'm like, "fuck it" and started playing 4 tables of 25nl 6max,

I was getting hungry, so I finished off after 250.

I wanted today to play (obviously) PP and Mansion, but for some strange purposes PP seems to be frozing with my account every like 5 minutes so its unacceptable to play there.

My friend told me about up to 150$ bonus at Empire poker which I'm heading to clear (how nice is 3 hours long cashing out from partypoker )

I kept/keeped (past tense of keep is kept or keeped or?)grinding Mansion poker which seems to be pretty easy. I've played about three hours and managed to grind it to 910$ total so I hope that tommorow I'll manage to grind to magical 1000$ BR


7th March 07
BR : 910$ (+100$)
stakes :0.10/0.25$ (0.1/0.2$ on Mansion, wtf is those stakes..)

on another absolutely unrelated topic let me make small rant about most of ppl here, let me get this straight

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH YOU PEOPLE USING ALL THOSE [INSERT RANDOM WORD]-AMENTS

Ok I get that donkament but...

Come on...it is SOOO akward

Helpaments
Sakiaments
Lolaments
Roflaments
RunBadaments
Handaments
Foldaments
etc


Seriously stop using that already

[/end of rant]

So I met up with Sakisaki today to play a live donkament. I thought it was like a cashgame so like that’s bad n’ stuff but anyway I think saki made some money, like ehh a few USD since it was a 14 person like 15 USD freezeout donkament. I failed to stack saki since the he folded like n’ stuff when I went all in with TJs and got called by a little black dude who I like very much who had KK which obivously sucked out on me. Anyways, I drank some beer before I sat down at the sidegame and that was like fun and stuff. I was allin like 4 times in 20 hands and I ended up down about 2 USD down so totally I was down a bit less then I lost due to a missclick online today and I HAD MAD FUN! 3 beers and a glas of whiskey is probably just about right to loosen up enough to have fun at a live table.

Also, the important thing: Saki promised me that I'll get a few more opportunites to stack him IRL so I’ll be sure to play some more with him. He’s a mad nice guy and talks as manly IRL as he does in his videos. I figured he’d be a bit bigger but he still looks kind good. I had hoped that he’d be ugly as fuck so that I could be the greatest LPer in Uppsala but that kinda didn't work out. My goal for the spring is still to stack him and I WILL DO IT!

yo. omg I was running pretty good, but few days ago I started playing like an idiot. My biggest mistake is that I'm still in the hand while I know the other guy has beat me -_-. I REALLY have to fix it. I've lost most of money becuz of doing that. I must follow my reads.
Today I've played 2k hands with -$66 result... just look at this graph

http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/7056/2ksessionbl6.jpg

You are obviously wondering, what kind of hand I won that I was up $200 in one part of this graph. Here it is:
$413 pot

I've got a goal to make 5k bankroll untill 18th March but I think I'll not make it. I don't have enough free time in March and have to learn a bit more.

My new goal is to NOT PLAY LIKE AN IDIOT

p.s. my bankroll now is $3,6k

cheers

As I was typing this, I got KK. Got it all in for 150bb pot with KK on 9T2 board, he had A9, he hit ace, I lost my money.

Was going to say 'I'm up about a buyin first session, but now it's only $15. Oh well, can't complain about people making bad calls.

Also 100 NL is at least as easy as 50 NL. Thought it would be tougher.

life sucks I should tie some suicide ropes instead of playing poker. March has started out even worse then februari did, and februari did not start out well (copyright tuff_fish). Oh well, im still better then my brother.

Bad beats are raining over me, the power in this small village were shut down one night a couple of days ago wich resulted in when the power were turned on again my alarm clock started ringing 09.00 am, wich resulted in i got a cooler on this small vacation. anyone have a worse badbeat to share PLZ post it.

I've wrote a little poem wich im dedicating to my cool friend FrinkX.

"I love you and you love me. But all i want is poker money!!"

Sincerely,
Viktor "jr" Hansen

Ok so my post is a bit late... Saturday didn't go as planned and I ended up in a bar with my friends and crashed at my friends place where we continued drinking until 6 AM or so. Didn't read for an exam I had on monday so I decided to just sleep over it, I'm the worst student ever

Poker is still treating me good though and as the topic states I own Muhweli at least when it comes to our winrate prob bet. I'm currently at 7,065 hands at 7.73 PTBB / 100 for a profit of almost $1.1k. Muhweli is at about 5500 hands and about 4 PTBB / 100. Awesome

So this is how my month looks on a graph
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3102/sewmarwu9.jpg

Recently I've run real good, last night I logged in a short session of 500 hands and ended up about $350 ;D It's amazing though how bad these guys can be so it's hard to tell if you're running good or if these monkeys are just so bad it doesn't matter how you run as long as you can take advantage of their lobotomy. They still keep surprising me after over 35k hands since my comeback. When people say party is soft you better believe it :D Here is a great example:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/155215
Yup, your unimproved AK must be good for 150bb. Well played, sir.

I hope to run into guys like this more often, not only do you get mad profit but good laughs as well Ok, that's it for now, I'll keep you updated on my quest to humiliate Muhweli. Cheers!

Up 3? Buy-ins today. So therefore I'm up around 3 buy ins since I first began playing, but the variance was insane.

Today I played much better skillwise most likely because I'm not rusty anymore. I still made a lot of mistakes, but either I wasn't punished too hard for it or the guy was a donk in which case I didn't lose much. Important hands to learn from are:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/155360
I'm told that I should've raised preflop more with this hand.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/mytlnet/myhand.php?view=item&id=155197
Raise of 5x huh? I would've gone broke here man, friggin donk didn't push!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/155184
Again, I should've gone broke here but I didn't because the donk is a dumbass.

After reviewing some of these hands I can see the areas that I have to improve on. My aggression factor on the flop is a pretty decent 4.76. However, turn is only 2.62, and river is only 1.61. I don't know what to say, but my turn and river aggression factor too small?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/154788
I think I played this hand pretty bad. However, I love it when donks hit their gutshot... not here as much though because he only had to call 20 cents to see the next card. lmao

so im back at the 5/10 cent blinds after a huge ass downswing, and over the past few days its been up and down, but mostly up. Today's session was pretty good, i sat, i bet, i won. +4 buy ins in 33 hands (2 tables). Most of it was won off 1 person, which was pretty ez. I came to the table and saw that she was pretty deep. So after getting my second hand KK, i was last to act on pf. Since the whole table limped, i decided to raise 8bb. Since i was new to the table, I had a feeling id get some calls because the rest didnt have a good idea of what i was raising with. Two callers, and after the turn, i raised all in, only to get instacalled by the deepstack. Great double up there.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/155340

Second hand coming in, i get AQ. Raise standard 4bb, get called by deepstack again. On turn i think, she raises me all in. I know from previous hand that she would call with ace-rag, and i was right. Doubled up again..SHipp!!!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/155343

anyways....about uni..im currently getting 35% in calc atm
but thats only out of the 15% of the course so far...ive really gotta pull up my grades. Been slacking off playing games here and there, so id better really study hard for the midterm.

anywho ill keep myself posted on my sessions and my BR

~cheerio

ps: BR: $283.75!!!!!!

Cleaning up 50 nl, running well over past 1.2k hands or so but I'm also playing very well, almost never sucking out or getting it in seriously behind beyond coolers.

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/7964/pokerzrf6.jpg

BR is at $1970 or so, can't wait to get to $2400 or so and take shots at 100 NL.

You might recall in my last post, that I have been complaining a lot about 10nl FR on Pokerstars.

Since then, I have been playing/running considerably well, and despite being incredibly busy, i made $300.

School's being pretty harsh on me too, and I got accepted into the school badminton team, which takes up 3 hours after school. Naturally, I don't have a lot of time to play poker.

I've been talking to various people here and there, and gained a new confidence.

:::MY PLAN:::

As of now, my bankroll stands at $600.
I will start to play 25nl FR from today, and start 25nl 6max at $800.

Hopefully, I will run well and I'll play 50nl 6-max consistently within a few months.

Oh, and if anyone is willing to teach me 6-max play over msn, I'd be truly grateful.

Thanks

so i finally hit 500 and was ready as ever to play on the 25 dolla tables. And to my surprise, the 25 dolla tables were just as ready for me as I jumped from 500 to 650 in like 400-500 hands. It feels good to now be playing for money that actually means something to me. Hopefully I can keep this going and maybe cash out a lil.

Need to regain my confidence now! Not too fast, or i’ll have another bad run. T_T

Missclick!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/154249

I hate those pop-up poker table of partypoker, I was going to click in a hand to see it while i was playing, and the poker table poped-up just a bit before i click... and i called.
Best missclick ever! My bad run officialy ended in that hand! =D

Doubt hand of the day
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/154658

I really want to know what he had... The good thing is that TalentedTom gave me an advice!!

My BR is around 96 now, i really need to play more hands/day, since sunday, I played like 500 hands only.

My friend keep saying to me to play in higher limit tables, but i say that I play in these lower tables becuz of BR management, and then he says i'm scared and calls me a pussy. T_T
