Finally ran out of rakeback life support on full tilt, helped my wife win a $2 HU shootout so she xfer'd me with winnings and am back to playing on beloved stars, oh how I miss thee. Funny thing is, after playing 3 months of exclusively rush poker, normal ring games feel so good again! I mean damn is it ever nice to have actual legitimate reads on players, who you can iso, who you can bluff, who you can ship 300BB's aipf against. Wow, what a breath of fresh air! I do feel like rush has helped me a little, namely in regards to strengthening my reads in low information spots. Or perhaps it was all gained from greater hand volume. Whatever the case is it's so nice to feel in control at the table again. I wonder if my live play has improved as a consequence of rush.
Got in 25K vpps so far this month, planning on being first to SNE and getting there by end of March. So far, profitable at tables this month with 40K hand sample at 1ptBB/100 EV. Charts/graphs/etc are at the http://www.kevinpflug.blogspot.com website
started with 25 bux in account, now at 300 in short amount of time =] at least i know i can beat 2 dollar sng hu's as well as 6 dollars sng hu's. but yeah gonna just move up and up until i reach 2k or so for nl50 roll. 'Til then im just going to move up at 30 bi's on the sng stakes. so pretty soon gonna be playing 11 dollar sng hu's so hope it all goes well!
So, swing swing swing yay. I just played bad, had leaks that were bad. Sat back thought about my play, and got back at it. Moved down to NL5 rush and helped get going back in the right direction. Right now I'm running 2 tables of NL5 and 2 tables of NL10. Going to keep at this for a bit and make sure I keep the upward trend. Mostly I just need to play nitty-er post and pot control better. Play more cautiously in 3bet pots. And damn it I need to tone down the CBet%, it's killing me IMO.
*finally going into business soon(hold one time)
*using the fail website and convert it to webvertise, showcase and hopefully process some payments within the coutnry thru paypal
*going to learn a martial art called filipino kali, a.k.a arnis
*playing poker but just going to try to limit playing time to 1 to 2 hour daily
started going to my first class last night. pretty interesting martial art this filipino Kali, it has southeast asian variations like pentak and some krav maga, i wonder why no one from this discipline ever competed in MMA, seems like fucking awesome incorporated with boxing, jujitsu. its basically what jason bourne and steven segal use lolz
it's basically not a stick based fighting style but weapon-based, which is quite unique since you are always taught to get a weapon first before using fists and usually pure standup is considered as a last resort in cqb.however it is by no means pretty as how it is shown in videos and movies, but a good practioner can kick anyone's ass in streetfights or situations. So we start with sticks and eventually end up using our bare hands and even have grapples called "dumog" which is sort of a similar style to greco-roman but always has emphasis on strikes. if i go to prison someday knife fighting will be no problem for me lol. just look at these fine filipino gentlemen
With rakeback i was up $17.32 Putting my cash BR at $217.32.
Things I noticed. I NEED TO STOP GETTING BUSTED WITH OVERPAIRS VS SETS. I look back at hands and i'm like, "oh yeah he played that like textbook set" so yeah. Mostly just pot controlling. AA is still just a pair so stop overplaying it. that's my biggest leak that I'm seeing now. Of the two big downswings 3 of them were this. the other was pretty standard top and bottom pair vs top 2. not worried about that spot. Umm yeah, just looking to grind up my personal roll here so I'll try to get some volume in daily and post it on here....wont always be 3k hands but yeah...ship it
