two quick questions. whats a good book to read to get good @ blackjack really quickly. secondly, anyone provide anything for someone with dark coarse chesthair that grows back fairly quickly. cannot get it smooth @ all and it grows back so quick.
played live last nite in the back of a resteraunt (a weekly game)
its 1/3 and 9 handed. i got 100bb
i have been playing with these guys for about 3 or 4 hours or so, pretty sober so i can really pay attention... i get into a hand with an loose/aggro player who had forced me to fold 3 or 4 times in the night. almost all of those times were when id make a late pf raise, get called and c/f the flop. he was a thinking player who pretty much trys to sense weakness...
so i get A7s in the CO+2 and i make it $12 to go.... (this is somewhat standard small raise in this game) i get called by the guy... flop comes down J 9 3. i check and he bets $30. i call. the turn comes another 9. he bets $70 now and i call. at this point im like so sure hes got absolutly shit. so the river comes its a 5. he shoves all in for remaining $150... i think for like 2 seconds and say call and insta flip over A high.
he was going to muck his cards when i said call but i showed to fast and he realized his bluff hand actually beat my bluff catcher... he showed up with A10...... if i wouldnt have flipped my A over i woulda took down the pot since he is like an insta mucker..... fucking god damn it........
so gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i got up n left i was too tilted to reload
anyone feel like hookin up a fellow grinder with a user name and pw via PM...ill only use like maybe 10 searches a day if that. just like to have the features to edit certain days and all. used to have one but lost all the info after the whole black friday thing
I'm out in Vegas for the summer and I've decided to play the WSOP Main. I'm cutting it pretty close but I want to sell out up to 50% of my action at $125 per 1%.
I've played over 10k tournaments online with marginal results. Maybe 80-100k profit lifetime. Screennames are:
jchysk on FTP
jchysk3027 on Stars
jchysk on Cake
I've had a couple WSOP cashes, and various other cashes in other tournament series, but nothing ever significant. I have quite a bit of experience with live play and I've got a really solid combination of reading players and live tournament understanding. Also, my mathematical abilities + knowledge are of the highest tier in the poker community.
As far as reputation goes: I've been a long time member of the LP community. thewh00sel or shAAArk can vouch for me on LP, and half a dozen well known pros would also be willing to vouch for my trustworthiness IRL.
I live in the US so I can't accept online money and will only take cash from people also here in Vegas.
PM or post if you're interested. TY.

I love poker. I can spent my time much valuable than playing poker, but i love this game and i want to beat 5 / 10 in future.
What im seeking for:

Thank you for your attention and have a nice day
I don't know how to word this, but the thing I care the most about is to improve my bench/squat an deadlift.
I am currently making continous gains and train 5 times a week. When i'm not training, I spend time reading books and materials about how to improve my technique and different training methods for when my progress begins to slow down. Now that my wrist is injured I spend time on studying and practicing w/o weight the most efficient way to bench.
I also hate weekends cause I can't go to the gym -_-
I was at a meeting 3-4 weeks ago, where I squated 115kg, deadlifted 185kg and failed to bench a 100. Had only a month of practice though.
Unfortunatately no bench or deadlift yet, so i've been focusing on my squat and can now do 130kgx5.
Here is my deadlift at the meet, 2nd total at my weight class in that lift, only thing that made me proud there (Must be noted I did it completely raw, belt/knee wraps will most likely help a bit but gotta buy them and get used to them first).
Here is the guy I need to outlift to become the greatest lifter ever at my weight class.
I don't think its doable, so i'm focusing on winning my national meeting on november 25 atm. Hopefully I'll be able to squat + deadlift 500kg and bench 100+ to win it.
I'll get u guys a video of my 5rm max when I squat 150kgx5 (twice my weight) in 3 weeks.
Was also wondering how good I would get at poker if I liked it as much as lifting heavy stuff. I might pick it up again, not sure when yet though =/.
Took up poker seriously again about 2,5 months ago after a 2 year break and I've been doing fairly well on lowstakes, mostly playing at our swedish site Svenska spel at the nl75 limit. I need to keep pushing myself to get in more hands tho, been pretty successful with that lately I think since i played 35k last month which is more then I usually did back in the days when I were a midstakes reg. My goal is to be back at nl200 or nl400 before this summer is over and I think that is a very reachable goal as long as I can keep putting in at least 35-40k hands a month.
Trying to decide which poker site I should move to. I have considered Pokerstars but feel I could get more rakeback elsewhere for the limits I play (50nl-100nl).
I've heard of people getting good deals on Ipoker and was wondering who to contact for this.
I was playing on FTP and play around 8-12k hands per week.

And yet you still opened it.
So it's been almost forever since I last did anything on here save check the ROFL thread so I figured it's about time for an update for the 7 people on this site who know I exist . As those 7 may know I've been trying my hand at stand-up comedy the last few months. Things kind of got off to a rocky start in the whole mix and I have to say I appreciated some of the input that lp had given in the past.
Anyway, a few months ago I entered in a comedy competition one of the clubs was having for the city. After luckily bringing enough people to scream for me in the preliminary rounds, and actually preparing some decent material for the Semi-Finals, I've made it to the Finals.
Over 60 comics gave it their best and now it's just down to 8 funny bastards, and I am one of those bastards. $1500 is at stake for the winner :D <--hopeful smile.
The show is less than 2 weeks away, 7-13-11, I doubt any of you can make it considering the vast array of different countries this site represents, so the chances of anybody on here being within reasonable driving distance to Grand Rapids, Michigan is almost nil. So I guess I'm posting this here because everyone on facebook is sick of me talking about it and myspace is stupid.
Anywho, I'm excited. You're probably not, but can be, so do it. Here is the video of me not losing in the Semi Finals earlier this week. Quality isn't superb, but it was free .
Haven't blogged since capping off my 2010, and have mostly been working on my startup. In fact I haven't even played poker this year, and of course there was that whole Black Friday thing...
So why am I offering coaching? I think I still possess some small iota of ability, FTP's lock up of my funds is taking its toll on me, and I'm offering it at $40/hr. Decent deal as I used to coach for 150-200/hr at my prime (I used to also coach for free). Frankly after Black Friday I think at least Americans should be a lot more pragmatic and realistic about income generation and realize that even $40/hr is quite a lot of real world moneys.
This is by no means a sick deal on your part, like I said I haven't played at all. But I think I can be like that guy in Happy Gilmore, the old guy who's washed up but was still integral to Adam Sandler's improvement.
That said, I obviously don't believe I'm capable of coaching 400nl anymore, perhaps not even 200. Maybe even 100 is a stretch now? So this is mostly for lower stakes players, where the level of the games may still be similar to the games of 2010.
Past general theoretical knowledge, I'm pretty good at HU, I can teach a thing or two about emotional control, and I have a plethora of old material like old coaching videos (where I get coached) and assorted stuff I've made in the past that I don't mind giving away anymore. Lastly, I've spent almost a good year researching and understanding the silicon valley tech industry so anyone with any interest in tech startups (or starting one) can pick my brain for free as part of this.
It's always been better for me to coach people who I could talk to every so often as an actual person rather than some dude I'm making $ off of. Having said that I'm more partial to names I recognize for this offer but if no one wants to take coaching from a washed up player then I'll take anyone I can get .
Payment will have to be in paypal unfortunately. Besides that, I'll try to make this as beneficial for you as I possibly can. I realize this is the end of the line for me in poker, so I'd at least like to go out with some fulfillment.
Not really a blog just a question lol.
Was watching GSTL Venus group week 2 FXOpen vs ZeNEX game 2 and the casters referring to a guy in the stands said"there's Midian, one of the best foreign zergs of all time"
Are they referring to the same Midian that posts on LP?
wich is 20k$ from EU sites, mostly an italian randomsite, where im now banned cuz i won 10500€ in like max 3-4000 hands of 2/4-10/20€, so they banned me not to play there anymore wich sux (super retarded decision over such small sample, they said i rake to little playing that high and win to much, lol, it was good value, but atleast i got my money, some volume on bossmedia aswell where i made ~4k€
my swedish mainsite i only made ~5k$ on in the end, but 1 week ago i was stuck about 16k$ there so there was a really nice recovery, graph from there can be found belove.
played alot of interesting hands this month, so if ur bored u can check my latest hands out, there are some discusssion/comments etc about the hands, i mostly just post the interesting wierd ones, mostly... (aliens)
not a great month, but decent concidering how bad it was at some points, in total live and online i ended + 15k$, plus some rakeback, not sure how much, maybe 1k€
hopeing for a big nice one next month
if u havent seen the show kenny vs spenny its awesome, check it out
edit: i realised its halfyear too, and i also realised im on the right pace of my goal of 1 million SEK (~150 000$) wich is good i guess
im + on EU sites too, not sure how much as alot of my volume has been on wierd sites that my affiliate fixxes me in on, played on like 3-4 different italian networks wich dosnt support any trackers, maybe 30k$ if i estimated some kind of a guess so im well on pace, hopefully ill make it + around 100k$ so far online 2011
Little bit of history, used to play live 1/1 games (£) and won a fair bit up and down, but couldn't build a roll as a typical student always spending and being a standard degen. Long story short won 2k in a week, spent most of it, busted the last of it. Standard. While playing live, I've always just donked about online, usually at 9am when getting home from the casino, just donking away $100 without caring as I was so tired. As I said typical degen So all my stats look terrible in my history.
So after busting my live roll and being unemployed, I thought I'd do the pro thing, and deposit $10 and grind my way to $1mil
Online is very different from live, so didn't start too great. But 50k hands later here I am. Binked $200 cash in storm and running 8bb/100 at Nl2. Cashed out a chunk and purchased HEM today so can finally get all my graphs and stats.
Kinda suprised to be running 15BI's under EV, knew I ran badish but wasn't expecting that. But oh well, can't complain, It's NL2 and thats the point of it :D
Sorry to bore you all but any quick obvious leaks that you can spot?
I need to stop limping and especially open limping OOP and even IP and nit up from the blinds massively and to stop double barrelling (live habit).
