Yesterday was probably my best day overall in a long as time. Better then winning prima's Sunday donkament, much better then Christmas and better then any day I can actually remember except maybe for the first time I tried BJJ.
Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone Weekenders on our own
It's such fun - Lou Reed
I started out slow and I decided to play some poker since apparently I'm currently doing very good in some rake race, which I did not know about. Might as well get some hands in, right? I started out down a little bit which made me feel a small amount of annoyance since I've had two losing months behind me and this month, despite being decent in terms of results, has been a little slow. I reminded myself that I should not let such things mess with my happiness levels too much;
Which man can save his brother soul
Oh man it's just self control
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Wisdom is better than silver and gold - Bob Marley
The guy had been shitting on me by owning, sucking out on and coolering me left and right and I finally get to stack him. Lacking anything reasonable to have sex with a Tuesday morning that might have been the most satisfying feeling I could reasonably expect. After that I won a bunch of buyins in mid stakes omaha and suddenly I was up 1.2k or something for the morning and decided to call it quits. When I started sucking out on people I sang along, badly, with Van Morrison in "Everyone". It's the best suck out song ever, quite possibly as good as have the "haters gonna hate"-fedor-gif on your screen.
With our heads so high smile at the passers by
Then we'll softly sigh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone
Then I went to school to get my essay on game theory in negotiations back and talk about that and some other essays. It was very interesting and I got to explain the some law students and two professors why you have to balance you're "go to trial"-rate after you're making treats and how you can calculate the optimal rate of that knowing the risks involved, costs and the other sides expected risk-averseness. Got my grades and it turns out that for the first time in 7 semesters of law school I got the maximum grade. I tried to keep my pokerface but I felt a little bit like a little girl getting her first pony. My pokerface never was very good anyway . Hmm, that's not true actually, Myth wrote some really good stuff about that in the article section about live poker. I normally feel that he's a little bit overrated when it comes to online play but credit should be given where credit is due and he is a creative and tricky motherfucker. I might try to write my thesis on a similar subject to this essay so I'm really happy it was well received. I have this dream lingering in my head that some day I want to be an author, and I think it could be really interesting to write something less serious about how you can apply game theory and poker wisdom "in real life".
I got home a little late and felt a tiny bit stressed out because I had dinner plans and I was suppose to actually cook dinner before I got company. Fortunately I got a text stating that I wasn't the only one who was late, so I had time to actually make a very nice meal. We ate, watched "Watchmen" (underrated movie in my opinion, Rorschach is really bad ass) and drank about 3 bottles of 30$ wine. I've only recently figured out that wine actually can taste better or worse depending on price range, country and such. Also, red wine tends to turn you into a Philosoraptor.
For some reason I do not have a headache, so now I think I'll go stack some fools and see if I can't win that rake race I've been looking at for a while.
So I took another six day break, came back and lost another six buy ins. And I am lost for words. This is EXACTLY what happened last year. I lost all of December and all of January and eventually had to cash out the remainder of my roll to pay for bills. I have about $1400 left in my checking and about $1550 left online. I am quitting poker again and getting my job back once school settles this semester. And I must quit now because I can't afford to lose any more money in case there are complications with me working. Wish I would have made this decision before losing another $600 today. So fucking depressing to think about how I had over 8k about a 40 days ago. Ugh, and the sad thing is, is that I don't have the will to drop down limits and grind out of this horrid stage. I'm just going to take the little money I have left and maybe make another heroic comeback in the future. Once I have my job back I'll try to grind some live poker.
So I'm a big fan of Tech, and I recently made a Pandora station with the theme of Tech N9ne...and it literally just plays his songs. I think this a actually really an accurate station, and there really isn't anyone like him. Not to say he's the best alive or anything, but I really can't come up with anyone who has a remotely similar sound.
Anyone else a fan/anyone know of anyone similar just out of curiosity?
Speaking of music, I've been getting into some new guitarists, which prolly makes zero sense given the rest of the post, but i play and have alot of respect for alot of guitarists. I'm a big fan of oldschool guys like billy gibbons, hendrix, buddy guy and the likes. I've always hated on alot of the "newer" guitarists, just out of idiocy for the most part, but I've recently fallen in love with one guitarist in particular
Zakk Wylde
The guy is unreal. I wish I could deal with BLS because his guitar playing is right up my ally, but the rest is not so much..
So after a horrible run during August of last year, I didn't touch poker until the beginning of December. It was kind of tough at first to get back into grinding mode but eventually I got readjusted. Since then something has happened and I think my game might have improved for whatever reason. I did not do ANYTHING poker related at all but I can feel I am playing possibly my best game yet. Some results to jinx myself:
I heard that you are going to be finalizing the buy-in structure for 2011 by the end of this month. I want to hopefully help in providing a well rounded solution to something that is apparently looked at with hesitancy.
The compromise to this dilemma is to keep it simple.
- Keep your current setup
- In addition to the current setup, recreate the original tables that you used to have (20-100bbs) or instead create a new bb buy-in table option of either 20-250 or 35-250 bbs
Adding back this method would allow your clients once again the absolute choice to decide both:
- with whom they want to play with
- how much they would like to put down
In this way the bottom lines that should be adhered to are addressed and all sides of this equation are able to benefit. I'm presenting this solution beyond my own personal self interest and preference. My personal preference is actually not included here. This is instead aimed more so for the long term profitable adventure of your poker site since I do believe unlike others places, PokerStars is a well intended corporation with it's clients actually in mind.
So I don't have time to grind poker anymore, but I had like $100 sitting in my account. It feels like too little to cash out, so instead I'm going to try and make an epic run with it.
<$500 NL50 Min-buyin (no rat holing, stay until opponent leaves)
$500<$1000 NL50 full stack, maybe NL100 min-buyin? Drop down if below $300.
>$1000 NL50 full, NL100 full, NL200 min-buyin?
Weird that im back playing again jsut nowby whamm!, January 11
just played 24 tables cold after 4 months of no poker whatsoever. up 1bi hihi
fees like a lot of money when ive spent over 1k learning/buying software earning 0 dollars lol
damn poker money is just too good to give up
Took a break from MTTs, and focused on HU for a bit. MTTs were destorying me. So much time and energy and such shitty poker. Dont get me worng, still love em, but I needed a break. And I had been studying alot of HU recently.
Started off with the penny stakes and played some NL10 HU today. Fun game. Have not had this much fun with Poker in a long time. Obv everyone is so terrible, and its like printing money.
Had some good five days. Put in the volume for once, and cleared the $300 bonus. I also managed to win a 14 buyins. Have to say it's a pleasure to play on FTP (software wise).
Probably gonna move to PS on friday when I get my rakeback (which should be something around (900-300)*0,27 = 162!
Roll is now $1900 (guess it's nice to double it in five days). I should also get around 160 in rakeback on friday, and in a couple of days around 200 ~ from last month's play at iPoker.
Planning to start at NL100 w/ 3k BR, hopefully in a week or two.
Anyway, for you guys playing NL50 at FTP I think the most important thing is to table select. Sitting with 5 other regulars (even if they are somewhat bad) is pretty unneccessary when you can find a seat on a table w/ fish. At iPoker it was kind of messy to change tables, but on FTP you only have to browse the list once in a while and taking the highest VPIP (and look for some random stack numbers like 39 dollars - usually a fish).
say you caught a nasty flu. youre feeling unenergetic, cold, and your throat feels like its on fire. do you still put in a session to keep up with daily # of hands?
So I'm trying to move some of my roll to PS and for some reason, echecks are being a bitch and basically allowing me to deposit like $20 at a time, once every 24 hours. Ridiculous.
I'll gladly ship someone $1000 over Paypal in return for $980 on Stars. If it's someone I know, I don't mind sending first. Otherwise, we can do it in increments of a hundred or so. Thanks.
So I cashed out my rolls from my Stars and FTP accounts a while ago, but I guess I randomly got some sort of bonus on both accounts because I had exactly $100 sitting in them.
Some other guy sits at my other table and about the fourth hand in with Mr Yalc, I get K9cc in vs his A3cc on J87ccc and get stacked. I auto-reload back to $7.85 because he took half my roll.
He sits out and asks me to "pls reload". I tell him sorry man it's all I got. So he quits me.
I don't care how my business is doing, I have never felt more busto in poker.
In any case, the other guy quits me and I start 3 tabling with $10, and I quintuple all of those so now I have $170. Maybe I'll record this progress and see how far I can get it before busto-ing.
Didn't play much in December so I figured posting would be useless.
Anyhoo, started playing limit holdem a few weeks ago and so far I quite like it. The games feel really soft even to a new player like me. Top pair wins a lot of the hands and people generally miss value with monster hands.
But I'm having a problem with the red line. Should I just not worry about it and semi-bluff less? Maybe it's impossible to have a positive red line when the vpip is generally 60%+
I have always had a thing for literature - I'm reasonably well read. Especially in poetry I greatly enjoy thinking about the authors and the source of their inspiration. It ties in with aspects of history - a sociological angle.
Today I surfed the Stormfront website for the first time to find out what goes on there. If you don't know, which I didn't, this is the major white power website and all that is associated with that.
And lo and behold, they have a poetry section on their forums! I would like to share a few that I have dug out which particularly struck me. If you expect this to offend you, and it's content is very offensive, please don't bother reading them and then getting angry that I posted them. I was utterly taken aback and have now developed a morbid fascination. There are pages of this but here are some favourites so far - I am posting these partially for me to have them in one place for reference...:
Skinheads
So full of pride clean shaved laced boots
True warrior inside continue on the path
Around the world we do stand strong
Skinheads rise lets take the streets
Uneducated enemies turn on us
Number 1 to shave black wax to polish
You are the ones we need when the time comes
It's getting closer can you feel it
It's war my friends a war to the end
White nationalism is our goal
Together shoulder to shoulder we stand tall
Showing the world we are all for real
It's you skinhead I'm calling for help
Stand beside and join in
Wake from your sleep in a world of lies
Dust off your jacket Express yourself today
We are the first to lead the strong
Never give in it's our motto
Today things will change all we need is you
Skinheads we are so pure with European blood inside
Remember those of the past and what they thought for
Our land is being overrun it's time to take it back
Do it for yourself, your family and your children
Don't think of tomorrow we need you today
Brothers in arms skinheads till the end
Never will the true ones change it's not a fad It's our life
The Wave of the East and Below
Here is a little piece of poetry I had put together to explain what is happening in the World, I hope you understand the messages behind it
Oh the wave of the East and blow you have risen up as a tide against our people, you have risen tall and in strength and you charge towards our lands and have caused much sufferign and extinction of our people
Oh wave of the East and below we blame you for our suffering, but we do not see the vibrations that cause you to strike our lands and the true evil gets away
Oh you wave! you have divided our people only the knowledge and the open minded shall not blame you, but the others who think with boiling blood blame you wave
We target not the source but we target the you wave, we put rocks in the way to stop you but you still crawl through and cause much havoc
Only if our people woke up and saw the true cause then one can fix the problem and send the wave to its homeland, send the wave to the sea and all live in harmony
[the author wrote this note afterwards:
the poetry is refering to the wave of immigrats who leave there homeland due to War and tyranny by the zionists there and then they come over to Europe and America to settle for a new life. We blame the immigrants and direct our hate towards them but we do not realize in order to fix this problem and live in harmony we must stop the Wars in there countries and then only can we send them back because then they would want to live there.]
Dwarves and Jews
In the flesh of ymir's death,
the maggot's turned to evil pests,
that plague today's society,
and make it hard for you and me.
From the original aryan man,
mixed with odins seed we north europeans began,
but from the same original man,
the dwarfs mixed and behold! the jew!
a parasite who knows no good,
he despises our gods and all that would,
stand for what's right he labels hate,
for our culture he makes us feel ashamed.
His features are the result of,
his evil and ugly dwarven blood,
he wants to rape our women and young,
and destroy our holy white blood.
Stand up men and women too,
unite now against the jew,
and get together now women and men,
let's breed a viking force again,
to help defend our folk and faith,
against the parasitic race,
against those jewish folk destroyers,
the race of murderers, rapists and voyeurs.
[I love this one, the rhythm really counterpoints the content]
Anti-fascists
Zombies, again, are roaming in the night
They wander 'round the streets
looking for a fight.
The trashbin is burning, you can hear their screams
Society with peace exists only in your dreams.
They come for your thoughts, your brains
with clothes dirty, dirty hair.
For diversity means mud for them
They accept it not
that you desire to keep your people fair.
Puppets for the elite these zombies are
Their brains displaced with cotton candy
and peanut bar.
Individual thoughts non-existent
behind their eyes.
All they can do is repeating
the pre-installed lies.
They seek for chaos, seek to destroy
They want to change the world with that, and
by eating soy.
"No fascists in our streets!" I hear they
now yell.
They are fascists themselves,
that I can truly tell.
