Grinded hero and lock today - did really well and got 5th in the 530 for 5750 and 7th in the 109 25k for another 1k
had 45k in the lock 530 (was crushin) 4 hours in and they shut down the mtt most likely cuz it was very short of the overlay.
not a bad day at all
like havin both sites, thats for sure, hopefully I can finish off a 530 one day
todays hand kinda set up - but lil betsizing tell I shoulda picked up on and saved my stack, guy was batshit insane 38/35/20%3bet over large sample though, sb was a super nit - otb 20bb A8 v bb superlag 3better when im opening just about any two.....
wish i just folded though
Two chances to KO that super lag- one for a 1.2m cl at the ft (AK v QQ) with 2nd stack woulda been 250k and tons of 100k stacks
Just not meant to be tonite =[ Mb I should fold there to preserve ICM, idk I play for first and put him on like 70% bluffrange
next time!
not a bad day all in all,
maybe a major first sometime soon? I hope so.
Should have more hours grinded durin the week now,
3 days played - pretty solid so far
I havent really been playing poker consistently ever since FTP took my roll (live howard)
I was a slight winner at NL200 6max and after black friday I went to paradisepoker but I had to play NL50 coz I didnt have the bankroll for higher limits. I kinda lost motivation to regrind also the software tilted the shit out of me (no autorebuy?? you serial?). So I was playing there a few months, won a bit then stopped online poker.
I must say life is so much more happier and balanced when u dont have to force yourself to put in the grind, you dont have that depressing feeling in the morning because of the buyins lost last night. I could properly concentrate on university and myself.
But hey, we need that fucking money and since poker is much more easier and profitable than the regular student job that I could get here in Hungary I started playing live poker.
first of all, its outrageous how bad these guys are. There are some tighter ones but they are still pretty much clueless. Lot of people are not even here to win money. The diversities of the personalities are fun to observe. Everything is just so different from online. So far i put in 30 hours and considering that we play 20 hands/hour I got about 220bb/100 which is sick. Now i got all kind of questions to you live players.
Could 200bb/100 be normal for 1$/2$ live or its just a huge upswing?
I've heard that a guy like me got banned from another room because he was a constant winner. Could that really happen? I mean should I just deliberately make stupid moves and loud scenes to assimilate into the fish?
How do you prepare your minds for all the bullshit chat that goes on for hours? It honestly numbs me. I feel if I were to listen to music it would look really disrespectful also I would miss a lot of info.
Well thats all that comes into my mind now, feel free to add anything considering live poker (your experiences when you started?)
I appriciate all your comments
I like trance, hip hop (old school), etc. what albums would you recommend for me guys?
Btw, for a small update: love my new job, pretty much a surveyor for insulation/later going to turn into green deal advisor for grants for boilers/solar panels and home efficiency etc. New people are all around 20 which makes it more fun, and my managers are 30++ unlike my last office where mu MD was 26 -,-
My off on chick is gone now, I'm studying picking up girls psychology and communication to get a new one, it's all about the law of averages imo
We only had him for a little over 3 weeks, he was totally super fucking awesome and so goddamn cute. We named him Constantine the Conqueror. When we got him he had worms, took him to the vet just for a check up, sure no big deal just go pick up 3 pills that will clean his system out. Holy shit I've never seen so many worms in my life the first day, only a few left on the 2nd treatment and when the 3rd treatment came out clean we all figured he was good to go. One minute he's happy and jumping around playing with the kids then he just fell over stopped breathing and his heart was racing like a crazy, a bit of blood started coming out of the side of his mouth and nose, so we raced him to the vet they gave him a few shots and he woke back up shortly, the vet told us he had a rare type of hook worm that the normal deworming pills don't clear up....ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, FUCKING DEWORMING PILLS THAT DON'T FUCKING WORK ON GETTING RID OF WORMS!!!! He died a few moments later only 11 weeks old. I still wake up craddling the spot on the bed where he used to sleep, I still look under my desk before rolling my chair in to make sure I don't run over his paws...I miss the little guy he had such an amazing personality that you couldn't possibly replace.

Turned 21 today. I remember dreaming of spending this bday playing in my first ever WSOP ME in Vegas but oh well...after 7 years of playing poker I still suck balls, don't put in enough volume, get tilted, etc. etc. I really regret not being disciplined enough back then when the games were sooo juicy. And I'm not sure whether to be thankful that I found poker or not. Hmmm...

have a nice firepit outside, secluded area, good for tha grind n for afterparties
Not in stakes but in the country. I'm officially a resident of Sundsvall which is about 400 km north of Stockholm according to my, not very exact, estimation. The apartment is pretty nice even though it's not the fanciest thing I've ever seen and it's very close to the Casino. Unfortunately it's not much of a Casino.
Since Telia is the worst company I've ever had the questionable pleasure to deal with promised me that I'd have internet and TV here by the end of June I did not worry about it. If I tell them not once but twice how it's very important to me and they promise me that it'll get done I'd be fairly safe, right? WRONG! I got pissed and now I'll get internet from some other company within 2-4 weeks and until then I'll have to make do with a slow ass connection that only allows me to play poker some of the time. Oh well, it's not the end of the world since I live close to a Casino, right? I can play poker live, no problem, right? WRONG AGAIN! I took a walk down to the casino a 19.30 a friday night and apparently they did not have any cash games running, even though they stated that they had cash games some days. Girl in the reception recommended video poker and some table game. I asked for the closest way home. They did not know. Oh well, apparently they have some kind of tournament series with two, yes two, tournaments in a few weeks. Main event is some 5000SEK (~750US) thingy that I might play. They might have some cash games then.
A girl I used to do BJJ with comes from this city and works at the hospital over the summer so I tagged along with her to a rolling session for the first time in more then a year yesterday. I was just a out of shape and slow as I imagined I'd be. Got gassed like 5 min into the class then spent 10 minutes getting tapped by a big guy, 20 min getting tapped by a smaller guy, 10 min getting tapped by the girl (she's a purple and have won a fair few tournaments including some decently sized ones all over Europe) before someone decided to teach me how to do reasonable arm triangles since I had forgot most of it. I forgot that I had to grab my bicep and rather tried to do it with a monkey trip, heh. Then I rolled some more and by the end of the class my breathing had gotten back to somewhere close to what it should be and it felt a little better. I had a ton of fun and I'll try to keep that up rolling at least 2 times a week and maybe do some running, go to the gym or train something else 2 times a week. I thought the place I used to roll at was good but this one has a bigger math, less people and everyone was really nice.
As for poker I've managed to get in like 3.5k hands or something stupid so far this month running 10bi under equity and winning like half a buy in. I'm ok with that, hoping to get like 40k hands or something this month but that might be hard considering how I should probably visit my parents, my connection and some other things. Aiming at 80k hands in August instead and I'm hoping to have at least one month when I put in 100k hands this year so that I can start getting used to putting in volume.
hey guys. i was thinking about something to make the grind fun and stupid:
*24 hours (has to be played from start to finish, maximum of 2 hours allowed for breaks)
*nl 50
*max 4 tables
*profits must be above 2000€ at the end of it
i'm pretty sure this hasn't been done in such a manner before.
would anyone be interested in a piece of this? thinking something along the lines of my 10000 for your 40000.
