I dont usually post results but since lotta people here have had such a shitty month Ive gotta show a shiny one like mine.
Some runbad but mostly my fault for playing 10/20 and 25/50 with little to no table selection because "I wanted to challenge myself" or some stupid shit like that, at the end there I started to mount a little comeback at lower stakes but it was too little too late.
tourneys thats it, it's gotta be tourneys from now on. Just cant play cash. I guess I'm of that "other" type of player that people talk about. Although gotta post some tourney results to know lol.
Fresh start? please help!by Liquid_GoLD, December 30
Ive been fcking around poker for couple of years now, and im pretty aggrivated by the fact that i cant structure my game or bankroll management.
Its probably been 100 threads about diffrent individuals but i dont care about that, since this time its regarding me and
every case differs from person to person. What i am looking for is a small time stake or a poker coach (if no one wants to
put up the money, since i could not be legit, i could get it my self.)
What i need is motivation and tips for getting a structure in my game, and how to get the right mindset,
Im really tired of beeing a degen and wasteing the little i win from time to time.
Now this is obv free for you to reply or take interest in so please dont flame.
If someone would stake me (but i really think coaching is whats important, since im beginning new job in 2 weeks, i could get the money then.) i would apreciate it deeply. I would be willing to make a deal like Giving x amount % of whatever i win like every 3 month or 6th month for maybe something like 2 years. Which would make this an income over time for whoever is willing. If i get the right mindset i can play poker for sick amount of time and a lot of hands. But lateley ive been struggling to find the right mindset and structure. So remember im not mainly asking for a stake but a coach, thats willing to teach and train me for % of my winnings over time.
Might sound silly but its kind of new years resolution i want to fix a couple of things in my life and make a fresh start
on sevral aspects in my life including poker.
I dont have much hope that anyone would bother, But if someone out there wants to discuss this with me i would really apreciate it.
Feel free to ask anything from me or give me suggestions.
Thnx again LP for listening and Wish you all a good new year, and lots of fortune in the year to come
Create an account in my site pls (lol)by whamm!, December 30
Designer kinda made it worse so i ended up doing the just the basic theme and editing colors myself lols. I'll soon put in a link to LP in the poker and gambling board coz this site has been good to me . help me by making an account (just use smurf emails etc) to increase the memberlist lol, so far it only has like 7 members and im planning to promote it(meaning throw poker money at it)im planning on making it a hobby and put ads and small membership fees in my city to help me from poker boredom/misery and pay some small bills. i also have my vpp program there lol. talking with some people and renting out an ad billboard next week so i guess that might help the members since i only finalized the site the other day. the design is super plain but heh its jst a local davao city ebay clone so whatever
going back to poker real soon though (4 month hiatus) so good luck to all. www.classifads.net
volume BET for 2011? anyone?by longple, December 30
Ok, so i was thinking to maybe make a bet of like 3-5k$ or something w/e just to set a goal and follow it.
like if some1 wanna do this with me, that plays ~ the same stakes as me, ~1/2$ - 5/10$, but most volume have been around 1/2 - 2/4, still in the shotting at 5/10 and failing everytime stage atm.
im planning on not making a superlarge sample goal but atleast like 40k hands/month, playing 4-5 tables will take me around 100 hours/month wich is very realistic for me, and ive been slacking the last 4 months of the year only playing like 20-50 hours/month.
and i need to shape up.
So im planning on doing 480k or 500k hands next year, lets say 500k
anyone wanna make this bet with me? and like check off every month over MSN/skype and see if the monthlygoal was fullfilled? and bet like 3-4k$ or something on it?
and if both make their goal no one has to pay up obv just as motivation to grind
but i need something like this i think to MAKE ME DO IT
ive had 10-14bb/100 over 140k hands now last year on 1/2 and 2/4 and it would feel nice to put down the volume on those stakes for reals next year and maybe put away some money + get a profit of 1M SEK (swedishcrowns) mark next year, (wich is around 145 000$ or something)
should be doable
ive talked to my only RL medium/higherish stakes friend about it and he is up for it but he is in the middle of playing HU and learning omaha and shit and he dosnt use HEM and dont wanna get it to calculate how many hands and blablabla hes just laazy.
soooooo any1? =)
edit:
here are graphs of my play of 5/10 SEK - 15/30 SEK wich is 150$NL-450$NL basically in $
265k SEK = ~40 000$
and as some of u know i 24 tabled before this switch of sites on PS before, and made about 17 000$ rakeback there breaking even, and i klonked some tourneys and also did some retarded stuff on some other sites but im at a 60 000$ year or something everything included, starting as a nl50 grinder of the start of the year ive improved alot
just as motivation for some1 to maybe wanna do this with me as we can talk some hands and stuff over, im not too good but i guess im decent atleast
(THESE GRAPHS ARE ONLY FROM THE 2ND HALF OF MY YEAR, u can find the PS graph from my older blogwhines that i used to make about running 200BI under ev etc, but that was basically breakeven results over 600k hands)
click em for bigger
Been pretty tiring year, considering its my third attempt at beating highstakes (25/50). In 2008 and 2009 I lost 200k on 25/50+ and this year I finally came through and won about 150k.
Total profits for the year is around 450k about 150k behind ev. Pics or it didnt happen below~ Who was the one that wanted to bet that I ran according to ev for the year?? Yea I'd like to bet about 150k that I didn't..
December was full of balls, last few days especially. Long story short, had an upset stomach for the last 5 days and it was very very hard grinding 24 tables and vomitting every 30-60 minutes. Glad its over.
2010 Could only take a screeny coz an error came out everytime i tried to do the yearly graph.
In summary I've achieved and surpassed my 2010 goal of making 500k USD (including RB and bonus). I am ecstatic as I fell short last year by about 100k.
I have self excluded my self for a full week of relaxin and partying, and will make a new blog when I'm back about my goals and views on 2011. Happy new year everyone, I won't be posting on the forums till next year. Best of luck to those who are still going strong!
Ok I looked around still couldn't find it. I need to know how to submit HEM hands with HUD stats for LP, as well, for Pokerhand.org or are there any other good hand posting sites? Thanks
When will this end? 45k hands/3.5 weeks/$4.1k - This just doesn't seem real. I have taken 3-4 days off between each of my last two sessions and just continue to lose horribly. I have booked one winning session since December 4th.
SLIT!!! So many times I would 3 bet broadway cards and I had so many people call with SC OOP and just ram me in the ass over and over. If I did hit top pair it usually followed with the worst turn and river coming losing me a lot of value or they just had me dominated from the start. 8/10 times I flatted 99-JJ to a 3 bet a King would fall on the flop.
yay after yesterdays session i did sit down today again and practice some theory what i might do wrong.
I also dl leakbuster application and run through my hands.
did make out some things i did wrong and started a session
I feel like i finally know again how to win at micros 6max
Well, considering that I've just finished a really bad session @ nl200, I definitely don't feel too confident about my game. My HU game is great, but for some reason my 6 max game hasn't been faring too well. I think I need to nit up a little bit. Other than getting flush over flushed in a 3 bet pot today, most of my other plays were a bit aggressive, but not bad imo. I'm going to work on my game and hopefully get to nl400 sometime in the next year. Since tomorrow and Friday are basically days to relax and have fun, I'm basically done with poker for this year.
This year has been a great year in poker for me. I got a coach in the beginning of the year, I learned the basics of how to play poker. Ever since then, I haven't been playing that much poker at all. I played a little during the summer and then every now and again I play some poker at home when I get home from work. It's definitely been a fun ride, and this has been my best year of poker yet.
Results this year:
+15k not including rakeback
200k hands played
nl200 6m/HU
Did I meet my goals for last year? Hell no. But I've definitely had fun and I feel like I'm getting better. Plus, the older I get the less the money means to me, so that's good.
I took a nice little break from poker after getting promoted at my job. I am finally enjoying poker again and just play when I feel good. I am pretty happy right now and don't have any desire to move up quickly.
I am gonna start taking Muay Thai classes soon and getting in tip top shape. I also just signed up for some tactical handgun and marksmanship classes. I will be looking to buy a pistol soon if anyone has any recommendations.

Last 5 days of 18 mans... basically grinded $16, $27, $38, $60, and $114 50 tabling to get to SN lol. Ran good in $16-$38, and pretty terribly in $60-$114 :[ Pretty standard though. That being said, I have accomplished a lot of my goals that I had for the year, including beating 18 mans over a reasonable sample, and am pretty happy with how my game has progressed in the last month with 18 mans. I think I owe some of my success to ihaterivers for helping me with a few hand histories. Going for supernova elite next year, but it's kind of a big goal to accomplish. I don't know how feasible it is for me to get it, but I definitely have the drive to make it. If I don't make it, I'll still be happy with 500-600k vpp milestones, so I figure I might as well aim high.
Good luck LP!
ran great... then bad... then luckboxed 5th for a tourney, then ran great again at the end. I only have 1m session left to hit diamond status on ap so ill jus post my dec results now. I have about 1.3k~rb coming in so that makes it about 7.5-8k month.
had around $$50 chillin in my account in june and decided to take sngs seriously. Started off at the 1500 chips 6$ husngs and won like 100 bi in a couple days. I aggressively moved up all the way to the 35s$ and experimented with 6max ultra turbos sngs(both 1500 chips and 300 chips). Found some good success there so I split my volume almost 60/40 between husng and 6max sng. I made around 20k from a $50 bankroll in 6 months so I'm pretty satisfied with that. Next year, my plans are to be on the sharkscope leaderboard for most profit and be proz mtt player. gl
That was a close one. Just logged into Absolute to check out the MSNL HU scene and saw I had a few bucks on there. Proceeded to lose it all over 200 hands vs an 88/0 drooler who's down $8k at NL100 and below. I was almost going to deposit to play again, before realizing these players are unbeatable. Thank you rakeback for reminding me never to play micros again.
Counting rakeback and everything else it's about a 133.5k year. From my blog entry a year ago detailing my goals for 2010:
- $200k (I plan on doing well in WSOP this year obv)
- At least 600k hands (though to achieve $200k in purely online results it'd prob take a mil)
- 1knl reg by end of year, if I'm still focusing only on NL6max
So I didn't bink any big tourneys this year, and if I did I would've made that 200k goal for sure but beggars can't be choosers. Also [ ] 600k hands lol. Not focusing on 6max anymore so I don't mind not being a 1knl 6max reg, and I made 35k at 1knl this year regardless which probably puts my 1knl total earnings at like only -50k now . Heater at end was mostly 5/10 and not 2/4 so that was pretty sweet too.
Made about 25.5k in December, but ending a year graph with a sudden 5k downswing is probably a bad omen for the oncoming new year.. but I'm fairly confident that I'll end up "quitting" poker for the most part in 2011 to focus on other ventures. If anything I might play a little bit on the side but I'll be surprised if I get in more than 100k hands next year. It's been a fun ride, but I guess I shouldn't talk about the end until I'm actually there. Quick plug: For those of you who might be curious as to what those ventures might be I have a blog at http://www.kokev.in that I just recently made. Poker-wise, all my strategy articles are contained there for easy reference as well (should be useful for most micro/small stakes players). I'll still be blogging poker stuff on here.
HEM has my year hourly at 165.91 which is pretty sweet although it's likely slightly more than that since I didn't find out about site import time adjustment until later, causing a lot of "extra" sessions in HEM to be recorded when it really was all just 1 big session. Overall I ran pretty well this year and better than I have in any other year, and ultimately I'm pretty satisfied with my results anyway.
just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. should have done this a long time ago. Planning on posting some 2011 goals in the near future. Gonna grind out like 200 sngs the next few days and hit up my hometown for new years. It's been a productive year and now more then ever i need to stay focused and on track. GL at the tables everyone. It's been nice trolling along. I got five on it.
