Pokerwise i have never taken so many BI of a single person.
12 1/5 BI net win from a single villian within 3,5h of HU poker.
Well after such a long and complete fail poker carrer there is still some time for a new personal record
I have taken more money from single person (when i was a NL100 Hu reg 1 year ago) , but never more BI
Yesterday i had my non epic Neilly attempt which ended breakeven.
Started with 420$ got down to 250$ at one point , came back up to 710 and ended 410 $ >-<
After that i decided i need a break from stars and cashed into Cake.
After all i had 20BI for micro stakes HU left.
Well this guy had the worst HU game i ever played in my life i guess. ( Not that i am a good HU player ... since i cant even beat Stars 10$ sngs ...) But he was such a scared nit.... He basically did bet rivers 100% for value and bluff flop check/fold turn/river all his other hands. it was ridiculous
Only 2big hands he won were 33 vs his 99 flop 392 .... and his flush riverd vs my riverd straight.
After he was down like 3 BI he went total tilt nutz and started shoving flops with random draws and also did A high shoves over my turn 3 bets >-<
he kept reloading though which was very nice of him
Did lose ~ 70$ vs other guys in HU matches overall and ended
+174 $ for the day in 4h of pokerz
Okay, whatever lol - I know I told myself and on my first blog post that I would update weekly. Well obviously that isn't happening so rather it is an update every OTHER week. It's fine.
Anyhow.
Learning.
To each his own! There are many methods of learning and I tend to learn a lot better visually rather then reading about the certain strategy/poker math, etc.
Although the reason I don't completely understand it just off reading is because I'm still learning the ropes and have a lot of "what..?" and "why?" questions in mind. I'm starting to understand a lot more though - not that it's enough but like I always say, "Once a student, always a student."
Really starting to learn the importance of position and betting strategies. MOST importantly, discipline and patience. Thinking smart basically. I've also been listening to a lot of 2+2 podcasts just trying to intake all the information I can.
Interesting thing that I've picked up from one of the podcast though. New generation people having the whole A.D.D, impatience, fast play, etc.
I'll admit, I'm probably sure I'm borderline on that category within the world of poker (though I'm def not outside the world of poker). So I am trying to apply my patience and discipline to Poker plays.
Still learning the math, and everything - not to get overconfident when ahead.
I realize this blog post is totally unorganized and a lot of jibber, but it's 5 in the morning and.. yeah
Hello, I'm new to Liquidpoker. Nice to see a community here just for poker!
So anyway, I always wanted to learn to get good at poker and have been playing the 0.1/0.2 games on PS for about a a few months now.
I've been doing pretty well lately, never really having a losing session and earned about 20~ dollars. I felt really happy because it felt I can really be good at this game.
However, yesterday, I had my first bad run. It wasn't just a bad run, I basically lost almost all my profit.
I knew it was gonna happen eventually but for all my profit to go away in the span of 5-6 hours? =( Needless to say, I got pretty depressed and angry.
Ever since then, I looked up a few sites to see how to deal with bad runs but to no help. I just can't seem to detach myself from playing, especially because I know I shouldn't be losing to this level of play. (Not to sound arrogant ><")I can't move down the stakes either because this is basically the lowest stake.
I guess everyone here has probably been in this situation and I would like to know how you guys dealt with this. Any help would be so much appreciated.
so today consisted entirely of running into the top of everyone's range, or people stacking my sets with backdoor straights and flushes. villians getting it in with A high and stacking my QQ or KK, then losing their money to nits.
-15 BI days are always fun i guess. i should probably set a stop loss.
Posting this to immortalize my first three weeks at the 3/6 and 5/10 CAP games on Stars...and the worst monetary downswing [27k or so] of my poker career.
There's something strangely freeing about the helplessness one experiences during stretches like this...the recognition that this game, this gaining and losing of money, is somewhat irrelevant - it's not REALLY tied to my ability to experience joy or sadness in any given moment. That's only a half-articulated thought, but I'll leave it where it is.
Always cool to study Astronomy a little, I did this evening, thought I'd share =]
Galaxies
- 200 billion known Galaxies in the known universe.
- Our Galaxiy, The Milky Way, 12 billion years old.(Huge disc with giant spiral arms, and a bulge in the middle)
Born in nebulas, born in clouds of dust and gass.
* Pillars of creation.
* Around many of them are planets and moons.
(We humans thought for a very long time the milky way was the only one until 1924, until Hubble found out otherwise).
He found fuzzy blobs of lights, far far away, whole cities of stars, galaxies, way beyond The Milky Way.
Random Facts
- M87, a giant elyptical galaxy, one of the oldest in the Universe, and the stars all glow gold!
- Sombrero Galaxy, has a huge glowing core, with a ring of gass and dust all around it.(Baal Galaxy?)
- Galaxies are big, really really big.
Some distances and perspective
On earth we meassure distance in kilometers, in space astronomers use lightyears. The distance light travels in a year, which is just under 9,5 trillion kilometers.
- Our Galaxy is 100.000 lightyears across, which is just a small spec in the universe.
- Our nearest neighboer, Andromeda is nearly 200.000 lightyears across, twice the size.
- M87 is much much bigger than Adromeda, nearly 5 times as big.
- But all of these are tiny compared to IC 1011, biggest galaxy ever found. 60 times larger than our Milky way.
- The first stars formed 200 million years after the Big Bang ( 13,8 billion years ago).
- Then gravity pulled them together, building the first Galaxies.
Mankind's incredible tenacity and creativity
Whatever we see in telescopes today are things that has happened millions or more years ago, because it has taken the light as long to get to us. The feint smudges, formed 1 billion years after the big bang is the furthest back Hubble can see.
Until recently, humankind made Act, a 500 meter tall telescope, and the largest in the world. Act doesn't detect visible light, it detects cosmic microwaves, from the time the Universe was a few hundred thousands year old.
It doesn't just detect early Galaxies, it can see how they grew. The footprints of all the growth, from a few hundred thousand years till now.
Letting Astronomers see how they form and evolve: Stars form cluster, forms to galaxies, which builds into clusters of galaxies which builds into super clusters of Galaxies.
- In the beginning Galaxies looked like poo, random and bulgy, now they look awesome and perfect. Gravity, gravity shapes and molds Galaxies
Unimaginable Power
- There's an unimaginable powerful and incredible destructive source of gravity at the heart of most Galaxies. And there's one at the deep center of our own milky way.
- For years scientists wondered what could be powerful enough to change how a Galaxy behave, and then they found out.... A black hole, not just any kind, a super massive black hole.
* It eats gass and stars, but sometimes black holes consumes too quickly, and what they are consuming are dispatched back into space in beams of pure energy.
* This is called Quasar, when they find one, they know the center has a Super massive black hole.
- The black hole in the center out of Galaxy is gigantic, 24 million kilometers across.
* Even though, Earth is in absolute no danger, since Earth is 25.000 lightyears away (trillions of kilometers). So the earth is safe... For now....
Dark Matter
Super massive black holes may be the source of huge amounts of gravity, but they don't have enough power to hold a galaxy together, according to the laws of physic, a galaxy should fly apart. Why don't they?
Because there's something out even more powerful than a super massive black hole. It can't be seen, and virtually impossible to detect, but it's there. And it's called dark matter, and it's everywhere.
- Scientist are discovering that dark matter doesn't just hold em together, might have sparked them into life as well.
- They think dark matter was created into the Big Bang, and that dark matter became the seed of the Galaxy, even though they have no idea what it really is and no idea what it's made of.
- They think that dark matter weight for weight make up for x6 as much as all other matter in the Universe.
Recently it's been detected in deep space, it bends it, in a process called gravitational lensing. Allows us to detect the pressence of dark matter. As a beam of light is travelling towards us, if it passes by dark matter, it gets deflected around it by the gravitational pull.
Triggers the birth of galaxies, and keeps them together, scientists call it, the master of the Universe.
Unfathomable vastness
Scientist have come so far, they've built almost the whole Universe in a super Computer. Here you can't see individual Galaxies, can't even see clusters. But what you can see is Super Clusters, linked together in filaments, in a vast cosmic web. One finds a cosmic web which lights up all of the Universe, making the Universe looks like a gigantic spunge.
Each of the filaments is home to millions of Galaxy clusters, all bound together by dark matter. In the simulation, the dark matter glows along the filaments.
Dark matter effects where in the Universe Galaxies will form, holds together the whole superstructure of the Universe, binds them in clusters, and clusters in super clusters. All are locked in a web of filaments, and without it, the whole structure of the Universe will fall apart. This is the big picture of our Universe.
It's a giant cosmic web, and hidden deep within one of these filaments are our Milky way.
Dark Energy
In recent times, the last decade scientists found something new, kinda scary. Dark Energy, far more mysterious than dark matter, since we don't have the slightest idea what it is or what it's doing. Like space has little springs in it, make things repell eachother and pushes things apart.
If Dark Energy wins vs Dark matter, it make Galaxies spread apart and push things away from eachother. But that's not going to happen for a very very long time (trillions of lightyears).
Fantastic time to live in
We're extremely fortunate, life has only evolved on earth because our tiny solar system was born in the right part of the Galaxy, any closer to the center, we wouldn't be here. Since life there is extremely lively, radioactive.
To far away from the center would be just as bad, ain't as many stars, we might not exist at all. We're not to far, not too close, perfect distance.
Endless questions to ask, and mysteries to solve. More and more scentists are focusing on Galaxies, it's amazing time to live in, where we're making the most extraordinary discoveries imaginable
The Milky Way is on a collision course with Andromeda, and since the bigger of galaxies crashing eats and consume the smaller, Milky Way will lose. Which is doomsday of our own Galaxy, but according to Astronomers it'll be amazingly beautiful.
February went quite well. Didn't get to play as much as I would have wanted, but in the end the bottom line was good. Right now also Chicago Poker Classic live events are going on. Played a $350 tourney there, but got knocked out after not getting too many cards and then losing two flips in a row a few hours into it. Going to try to satellite into the $3k main event--I usually do quite well in sats, both online and live. It's a really nice series of events with very good structure, so plenty of opportunities for skill to come into play.
Mostly for myself, I've been having troubles with it for quite some time. I figured if I studied it some, took some notes, got it in my blog It'd help me a lot.
1 - Get a schedule
your body thrives on running on a routine; erratic sleeping sessions will interfere with your internal "biological clock". For some people, and depending on work and routine, a very short rest in the afternoon (the Spanish call it the siesta) could help alleviate drowsiness some people experience during the day. But make sure not to oversleep.
2 - Be mindful of what you have eaten or drunk before bed
* Stomach should not be too full, but not too empty.
* Digestion doesn't work well while asleep.
* Do not eat heavy foods a few hours before sleep (But not go to bed on empty stomach either).
* Caffeine sits in the body for 8 hours, so no tea or coffe in the evening.
* Drink 2l or more of water a day. Hydrated body is awesome.
* Alcohol may make you feel sleepy, but will greatly reduce sleep quality.
* Great foods in the evening, before bed: milk, turkey, yogurt, ice cream, peanuts. Since Tryptophan helps the body produce serotonin in order to relax.
3 - Keep the room dark
* Avoid any kind of light, pull curtains across the blinds, LED clocks, computer lights so forth. Also really hard to go back to sleep if exposed to bright light.
4 - Change your sleeping position
* When on your back, have a pillow under ur feets.
* When on your side, have a pillow in between your legs.
* Avoid sleeping on your stomach, it's shit.
5 - Exercise
Your body wants to recover, if you've not exerted yourself there isn't much to recover from, and it might distrupt your sleep.
* regular exercise can make your sleep deeper and more restful.
* Don't exercise right before sleep.
6 - Weird circumstances
* If outer circumstances, problems in life etc. are on your mind. Start meditating.
Random tips
* Keep the computer off 1 hour before bed
* Chamomile tea supposedly doesn't count when it comes to tea in the evening
* Don't sleep too long, shoot for around 8 hours. Too little or too long will make you grouchy and tired the next day
* Avoid having on music or TV
