Other than the charity stuff he does, is he not the least likable guy ever. This entire season of HSP all he has done is tell everyone how awesome doyle brunson is.
"doyle beat cnacer when you didnt beat cancer"
"doyle could have been in the nba"
"you weren't getting doyle off that one vanessa"
I listened to a poker road interview by him a while ago and he kept repeating how smart he was and that he didn't have to try hard to do good in school, even though its obvious the guy was a huge nerd. He has probably adjusted to the fact that people know how to play poker now less than anyone else. Every HSP season its the exact same story. Play 6 hands over the course of 5 hours. Win 3 small pots with AA, get bluffed off AA for half his stack, 3 bet with 65s vs loose guy and win a small pot, and get AA in vs some kind of straight flush draw and coinflip because he refuses to run it twice.
KK and QQ are interchangeable with AA in the above example. Barry Greenstein is the only person on earth that could make vanessa selbst my 2nd to last favorite person at a poker table.
Also, my last blog got move off the first page in like 15 minutes last time because 9 people decided to post blogs at the same time as me so read that one too.

lololo cool level mind wars Steal City expected such a comment just not from you
also this is the ROFL thread if you really wanna discuss an obvious thing we can move to another thread
p.s. my comment is somewhat a troll and somewhat quite the opposite, also if i hate on another nation that doesnt make me a nationalist please get your terminology right
You said "incase you wonder why people hate Americans"
Americans, not America. You can claim to say it doesn't mean you don't hate Americans but your sentence more than implies that there a justification for hating Americans. To hate people because of what nation they are from is to be nationalist...
and i dont hate americans, only posted it with such comment coz many people pretend or actually think that they do which is even funnier so apologiez if i offended you, however your comments only make you appear as a person you described
You didn't offend me, I've spent maybe 8 years of my 26 in the US. English was the 3rd language I learned to read and write and I haven't been in the US for about 6 years or so. I have however in europe and asia come across many extremely nationalist people from all countries and it does sicken me as without nationalism and nationalist sentiments things like war and genocide might be unheard of.
You say that I am like the nationalist person I described? Pretty bold statement to make. I gave incredibly logical and well explained reasons to show that it was true for yours and you made no effort to contradict my statements aside from saying you were half trolling. You are calling me a nationalistic or something because I dislike nationalism or is it because coincidentally the people being hated on and generalized with your statement happens to be US people and I hold a US passport? Really, that's a fucked up thing to say such a thing and you don't give any reason as to why... to be honest I think you just realized this little side of you and are projecting.
I'm going to write up something a little longer and more in-depth about this at a later time, but for now I just want to quote something from a book that has helped me a lot over the past year.
The Poker Mindset by Ian Taylor and Matthew Hilger
Seven attitudes that every poker player should try to master regardless of their game, limits, or technical skills. They are realities you need to be aware of and attitudes you need to adopt in order to succeed in poker over the long run:
1. Understand and Accept the Realities of Poker
2. Play for the Long Term
3. Emphasize Correct Decisions over Making Money
4. Desensitize Yourself to Money (although I personally think a lot of people do this all too well) 5. Leave Your Ego at the Door
6. Remove All Emotion from Decisions
7. Dedicate Yourself to a Continuous Cycle of Analysis and Improvement
With that said, I would like to link you all to NoahSD's blog so you can become familiar with poker by the numbers: http://www.nsdpoker.com/
Need a coach for NL20-50, willing to pay % of my winnings or any other agreement that we talk. I have flexible hours so i can adjust to your schedule.
I play NL20 at Ongame and im tired of not being able to beat it. I have a lot of time to play but losing constantly stops me from mass playing. (I play 4 to 6 tables 5max) and i can play 5-7 hours a day while taking small breaks.
Used to play nl20-nl50 at Ipoker but family problems made me cashout most of my roll and i had to start all over again. Played nl10 at ongame and went up to nl20 fast.
People from tlpoker.la can vouch for me, im doing this because i dont care about getting cash at the moment. I just want to improve and be able to play on nl100 in a couple of months if possible... i love this game so much but im tired of not becoming better.
I watch a lot of vids, have a lot of material from CR, bfp and a couple of more sites.. i just dont know why i dont improve.
So I finally got out of NL10 (Thanks to Arirang for all your help) and I was doing O.K. at NL25 until today where I lost 400$ in 2000 hands.
I feel like when things start to go bad, it never gets better, it only becomes worst as I keep playing.
So I was wondering what do you think is a good stop loss I could set for myself ? Because clearly I'm awful at playing when I'm stuck.
The thing is I don't have that munch time to play poker, so I feel forced to play every seconds that I can because otherwise I'll never get out of this shithole that is the micro stakes. But then again if I keep playing worst when I'm losing I won't progress either...
So last few sessions down little over $500, cutting my winnings at the stake to 200$. Running $931 under EV, so a little worse than I hoped. Had 2nd session with coach, and we talked over some hands of his. Overall good experience and hope to continue with him as my coach. Anyways I hope to get back on track and play better cards. Good luck have fun and good game.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
To take my mind off poker I decided to "trial run" a few games to take advantage of my decent gaming rig. To date, they have all blown goats:
1) GTA IV
2) Crysis
3) Crysis Warhead
4) Mass Effect
Jesus do they make good games anymore? TF2 is the only thing worthy of my significant gaming prowess these days. All I have left now is Assassins Creed, Gears of War, and Dead Space. Never played any of them, so here goes.
Winning 20 buyins at 2/4 is gonna take a bit longer than planned
I cant blame everything completely on variance as I've made some bad/questionable plays at times which will get better as I play more 6max
I've also been playing more tables than I've planned to so I'm gonna try not to do that as well and stick to 9
