Ok, so i got featured blog thingy here on LP, and have been thinking of writing something up for some time now on how things are in asia etc, lifewise/pokerwise.
ill start off with the bad news, im kinda busto, it all happened really fast frmo me haveing alot of bad shots/bad months before i went on the trip, and then in bali me and my travelingfriend (good player atleast same caliber as myself) decided to share profits and just mass volume, just to keep both from us from playing the same tables + taking more fish/less variance etc
but it was doomed, he went on the biggest downswing ever, and after losing a ton of money we kinda decided to just stop the company because it made both of us feel very stressed since my roll wasnt as big anymore + him loseing so much he felt like crap and played worse by it aswell, so i had to ship him like 50%+ of my roll
and after that i just kinda didnt have the diciplin to move down stakes/been running bad at the good higher games vs big fish + spending a ton of money on the trip/hotels/roomservice etc etc ballin etc
so what are my options? well, first off i paniced and deposited like my "last" 8k$ i could spare on ongame to 14 table 1/2$ and did that for a couple of days, and it went fine, i played well and were running at 7bb/100 over 15k hands
then daut contacted me and we talked it all over and i got a nutstake from him basically on stars, wich is supergood for me atm since im in thailand, and the EU sites dosnt run many games daytime anyways, on stars i can play 24/7 and now being on stake i can continue liveing my life as normal for the rest of the trip without any risks
so ull see me in the starsgames for quite some time probably
ive been fortunate enough to catch a decent heater in the beginning since regs arent used to playing smoe1 playing as loose and wierd as me they are just spazzing off money to me basically
been playing 2/4-5/10 and trying to get deep tables going, with bad results, no one wants to play, but i got action by a bad reg (Faiv) today HU on 3/6 deep and ended up taking 4.5k from him on 1 table so that was sweet
hopefully can get more deep games going in the future, but my 100bb game feels pretty good atm aswell
anyways, even if this stake wouldnt work out, i would instaget good stakedeals/burrows from friends as soon as i get home to grind my bread and butter swedishsitegames, but for now, me and my traveling partner both share that site + that im alittle busto now getting this stake on stars by daut is supersupergood, im very happy for it <3 much love man
over to the traveling, we started off spending 2 weeks in Bali but the internet was supercrappy there so we went to phuket in thailand instead and have been here for about 3 weeks now, the first week or so we stayed at 5star serenity hotel, (following the advice roman on LP gave me in my prev blogpost and as he said the internet there was good)
but we left it due to its high expences with roomservice etcetc and have now found a supernice appartment a bit outside patong.
its 1/3 as cheap, and double the space and very fresh, and we got a gym/pool etc close to everything so its a nutplace really happy we got it.
we moved in here december first and will be staying here until february 1st, wich is when i probably will be going hmoe to sweden again (i miss all my friends )

(i also bought a guitar wich was a great idea, havent played much at all the last years (played since i was 7 and probably where better when i was 11 then i am now, but its nice to have something else to grind then the pokers, learned how to play hotelcalifornia and stairway to heaven so far, close to the original versions, but had to do some deviations from it to be able to multitask enough to get the lyrics right aswell, especially on hotel california, but feels good to started up the musica again!)

(went out on a "date" with one of the waitresses, very cute and smart girl, decent english and not some random hooker so thats nice, have met her a couple of times since, shes nice but probably in love with me wich sux balls to kinda have to break her heart as i go home)
a couple of days ago we did a trip to ko lanta (outside of phi phi island, google for more sickness) to just relax and get away frmo the grind for a while and smoke some weed etc
as for the trip overall, we havent done much drugs/partying overall, we wanted this to be a healthy grindtrip, and its been awesome so far, have been working out 5 times/week following a great workoutprogram for 3 weeks now and it feels great, have been gaining about 20kg since i started playing poker, so it feels great getting back in shape again
have lost about 7kg so far, asia is the nuts for loseing weight, and have been already after 3 weeks been getting alot of great results from the training so everything feels wonderful
will schock ppl as i get hmoe in 6 weeks all negro and ripped
everything is gold except for the unfortunate bust, but thats kinda how i roll, i lost a big part on ongame taking a 25/50 and 50/100$ shot, and after that just kinda had bad timeings and some stupidity i guess.
but im superglad the stake have been starting off well, will be back in no time for sure!
hope everything is well and that it was a (y) read for the guys who read it all, ty for reading see ya soon and keep checking in on my hands in the handsection for some entertaining standard swedishness
is a good spectator fighting game? looks solid imo. i think its great how this game has transformed into this over time (used to suck) fighting game guys thoughts on this?( i hear Kung Lao is imba though)
anybody willing to teach me how to beat NL10 PLO ? It seems impossible to beat, as ridicolous as it may sound.. I cant stop playing it, and it keeps fucking me over.
Like the title says I'm starting to play again and I'm starting from the bottom of the "foodchain".I made myself a little challenge to play every stake till I'm up $x amount/stake.+ Show Spoiler +
nl2=$50 profit; nl5=$100 profit; nl10=$250 profit; nl25=$600 profit; nl50=$1k profit; nl 100=$2k profit ;nl 200= $5K profit and than by the end of next year I want to take shots @ nl 400
The reasons I'm doing this are:
- I haven't played serious in a long time and this a way to get back into it.
- I was stuck @ nl 100 for awhile and I wasn't motivated to play anymore because i was missing the thrill of moving up stakes and the feeling that you're actually getting better at this game
- To prove to myself that I can actually beat these stakes and that it wasn't luck that got me there
I'll update every time I move up with graphs and stats(inspired by longple ) and at the end of the month.
Also for some reason I can't stop listening to this:
essay due will pay on stars (open to negotiation)by Mortensen8, December 07
its a long shot putting this out there
So I was meant to write an essay due tomorrow 8 dec at 5 pm gmt ... but skyrim and goddamn towing reality shows and too much procrastination.
Anyway the subject is the most pretentious bs ever ladies and gentlemen I present to you Postmodernism anyway I picked hyperreality if anyone knows something about this shit ill give you the details of what needs to be done I need 2200 words but anything at this point (even 800 words) will buy me time to write it again once they fail me.
I didn't do graphic design to write essays its like torture to me I simply can't do it, think I'm just gonna drop out my hearts not in this anymore.
So I just finished watching the 26 episodes of this new season. For those that haven't seen the original I recommend checking it out, this new one however I wouldn't bother.
The first half is pretty decent, even tho its still a major drop in quality from the first season. But where it got really shitty was the second half. I found myself muttering "ffs" as I was 2x speeding thru that drawn out endless drivel. I dont even know how to describe it, it almost felt like a parody of the original, like the authors were mocking me for even liking it in the first place... It was awful and it managed to take a dump on all the themes that made the first season great. Even as I was wishing for it to end already the ending itself was terrible and just managed to bum me out even more.
This anger actually just now kinda brings me back to a show Ive watched like a month ago that made me furious. The show in question is Ringer, its a chick show but it had Buffy as the lead so I gave it a shot.
The particular scene that was so enraging was at like episode 3 or 4, she assumed her twin sisters identity and her sisters husband had surprised her with a fancy dress made for her. So its evening and they are alone in their house and shes in the dress, she gets all teary eyed and he says like " whats wrong? you don't like it do you?" and she gets all emotional and almost cries and goes " No, its just that its the nicest thing anybody has even done for me" and at this point I had to physically remove myself from my seat and walk around my flat talking to myself.
The reason for that is that while this dress shit was going on, her A.A sponsor is getting his face smashed in by some mafia guys for covering for this bitch,that earlier that DAY called him to ask for help because she killed some guy and doesn't know what to do with the body. The FBI is after her, this murderous mafia guy wants her dead and she just killed some guy and needs help with the body, so despite all that this guy goes " dont worry, Im gonna fly over and were gonna deal with this together". But apparently that doesnt quite hold up to some rich cunt buying her a fancy dress... I think I yelled "oh you fucking bitch" and then had to walk it off, it might be the angriest Ive ever gotten at something fictional and Im actuall getting a little angry right now just remembering it.
I have no idea why I just wrote all this shit... Im off to sleep -.-
Can you filter SnG's by buyin level without an account?
I did about 30euro of messing about with SnG's before grinding properly over on pokerstars.fr but wanted to see what my stats are since grinding properly (ROI/ITM%)
Can anyone help if can't be done via no account? Username: SoC0731 on pokerstars.fr (it's further down list about 20 up from bottom)
<33 (If that's not possible, search by last 120 games maybe that would work? or stats for last 100?)
So for roughly the last 3 months I've been producing/running/hosting my own sports talk show on a local radio station. Yesterday I downloaded an app for my iPhone that will let me broadcast a podcast soooo, if you'd like, please listen while you're screwing around on the interwebz today!! it's only an hour long, and I'd like to be critiqued on what I can do better.
Pink Dec 6th! Business!by Pinkk Sugar, December 06
So after talking to a couple of my new found friends on LP from MSN I have decided to post something very close to me that I have been working on a long time. My goal of this post is to start a discussion and to follow along anyone who is interested in watching me try to transistion from cards into being a business owner.
I am not talking about giving up poker just playing it on the side. After talking things over alot with my hubby i realized im in a very rare situation ion my life... I paid all my bills up to june of next year and have approximately 21k left over from my card winnings. The bank also approved me yesterday for a 40k line of credit to use as I please. These 2 factors give me the financial means to make this work. My hubby has also agreed to carry the bills of the home so all I have to pay is my car payments per month. This should give me sufficient income to be able to invest full time into my business.
The type of business I want to get into is the resale of second hand jewellery video games and electronics. Sort of a pawn shop but not.
At the moment im looking at types of software and have a few links to post of what im looking for:
http://www.mullersys.com/bssmmenu.htm#
this link brings up a point of sale system used in second hand stores and would be perfect for me. Unfortunately the software is 7 thousand dollars and I can spend a huge chunk of my budget on just my software.
My first question is are there any programmers that have experience with POS systems and could make somehting like this for me ? If its possible how much would it cost? and could it be made compatable with a lable printer ? I dunno its my ideal scene and what im trying to find.
these are 4 other companies I found that sell simmiliar products.
Is there anyone on the forum that has experience with Second hand stores? Keep in my im not pawning anything simply buying the items and reselling them at a profit. I am simply looking for the software to run this type of business.
All i need is software that allows me to buy items keep track of who sold them to me when and for how much to handle the local law enforcement laws and when I sell the item to take it out of inventory ring it up as a sale and to keep track of the taxes I owe to remit to the government and print a receipt for the customer.
Anyway Im realy hoping I dont get alot of trolling and can find some serious young minds that are either smart with software or simply enjoy talking about business or poker.
I have also decided to post my MSN: Pinkksugar81@yahoo.ca for those of you who want to talk poker or business or who feel they could help me with my goals. Also if there is anything i can do to help you guys let me know
+10k session Day 4, Meh Day 3by Joeingram1, December 05
Looks like it happened again sooner then later. Wasn't expecting to have another session like the first day of the month but man seems like I could lose when I got it in today, although a majority of the time i was getting it in 60%+ after doing some hand review after but was playing my A A+ game most of the day. Day 3 was pretty meh for most of it, went on tilt a few times and ended up dumping a bunch toward the end of the day when I was super tired and not at all the the mood to keep grinding. Need to insta quit and take a walk when that happens because I CAN NOT be randomly launching off 3k chunks of money from time to time.
Obv ran like Tim Tebow in the 4th quarter. I had to mix 2/4 and 1/2 which I don't like to do because I play so much tighter at 1/2 and really don't focus to much on those tables/hands, just try to b/e. At 2/4 I'm battling with everyone for every hand. I've gotten super comfortable in my game lately and have been playing pretty much everyone (with the exception of a few of the goddest of god moders) to get tables started but most regs prefer 6 regs to HU for a bit then 1-4 fish joining. Only a tiny few of the regs will give me HU action now to start and usually it ends up being high stakes guys grinding some 2/4 or like 6ptbb guys. I really have no idea why they won't play to get games going, esp when im 24 tabling where there edge on me will be big . As a result when I wake up late in the day my time I have to mix in 1/2 and 2/4. I play like a massive asshat at the deep tables for an unknown reason so have not been grinding those in my daily mix. Sometimes those games have 1 huge fish but the other 5 players are like either random recreational guys who only play deep tables and like 50/38 with 15 percent 3bet or super winning regs who only play deep tables as well and have so much more deep experience then I do that I'm going to get my shit owned there so often. Even buying in for 100bb I don't feel comfortably at all in those games quite yet.
Day 3 I didn't quite make the 14.5k vpps but planning to make that up here in a bit for a few more hours of grinding for the night
i sent my stats to a student so i figured what evs can post them here
i dont have large samples on the sites u play on, and this is 5max and 200bb deep atleast against 50% of the regs there buy in deep, but might be interested for some atleast
after talking to the student and from playing on stars the last days is what i noticed is that (probably) the most of you need to be opening way more buttons
from playing on stars a couple of days i saw guys on 2/4 opening more in SB 6handed then on the BU and were still big winners, i mean wtf?
open SB's against weak players but as aejones said one time was that against a very though reg BvB he is on the border if he even wanna open ATo, and that says alot about alot of you robots opening 45% in the SB no matter what
dont open 50% in the SB against every1, and dont raise 40% of BU's lol, go atleast over 50% from the BU and maybe 25% SB against though regs and against some nitregs u can go 80% probably (same goes for nitregs in blinds open 100% BU)
anyways, here are my stats, the first stats from reports are from the last 4 months as ive done some adjustments with my 4betting/folding to 3bets and raise first in ranges, the hudpop up are frmo all SH hands this year (filtered to more then 2 players, aka 3player+)
and remember its also 5max so the games plays alittle more aggro
So a disappointing 1st day of play... But i feel I played extremally well and lost the minimum through the 3 sessions...
I played a 4 hour 600 hand session of 2/4 and 3/6 and posted a net loss of approx 80 big bets. The games were generally terrible and reg filled and when playing amongst those fields you tend to run into a great deal of variance. Over all I played very well and reviewed 10 of my key losses and felt i could have saved only one bet on a hopeless river call.I also could have saved a bet on the river firing a hopeless 3rd shell on a board that my oppenent was obviously gonna show down on. These are good indicators of obvious spots to me that I miss from playing more tables. I will definately add a little more attention when im deciding to bluff a dangerous board and make a mental note of what cards Ill abandon my bluff on.
My 15 30 session was a 3 hour HU match versus a player I feel a have a decent edge in. Unfortunately I made very few scoops and generally found myself in alot of situations where my oppenent hit some miracle cards and crushed me in almost all of our key hands. Overall I think he played very well but I stand by my play happily and will gladly play him in the future because I feel I have a good edge.
Last session I played was a very strange 10 20 match. My oppenent opened up by folding nearly 60% of his hands HU so you see my graph just slowly creeping up on him and then he just exploded. we won a few key pots against me and still continued to play very tight and then I won 4 or 5 in a row and he blew up. Raising and 3 betting about 95 vpip and 75 3bet and off he went.
Needless to say im happy with the sessions for the day despite my losses.
I am a bit disappointed as I wanted to start my blog off with some big wins but unfortunatelty losses come to us all and its very important to handle these situations with care.
