Been a struggle, but i'm so happy to not be hugely in the red anymore. Thx to all the people who put up with my constant whining on aim/skype, that's the only way I know how to vent

Help with my logo and banner design for my site.by whamm!, December 03
I dont have poker money left so i cant pay , but i can when i start playing again next year. its a simple site for my locale and its not poker related, ive already scouted the competition and even though my site is kinda terribly designed, im pretty sure itll be somewhat profitable enough to pay some bills along with my poker grind - not to mention it is fun since i can interact with people and meet them in eyeball events and such.
id definitely appreciate the help since good logos and banners here are expensive(100usd) and usually cheap fee ones are gay. im kinda semi broke atm but i can upload money next year for any arrangement/consultation work with someone who has vast webdevelopment experience in html,xml,php. thanks guys.
If you're stuck in the micros I can offer you help there as well, just dont ask me about 100nl lolz
So im running 44 buy-ins below equity, and i dont even feel ive been that unlucky there, but i usually get coolered at least twice as much as sucked out on, i can honestly say that if i ran neutral i probably should be 120 buy-ins over what i have now at 1knl, all my plans on investing in small businesses and buying an STI are all gone now, lol some people wont even ever get it like Fayth just doesnt believe me (an all the other HSNL regs) that nanonoko just runs like the sun, and he is probably top 1% in the bell curve of luck and only the few of us who are down on the other side of the curve will understand it.
On the bright side im really close to be named Online Pro, im just waiting the final call if i also lose this by some reason its gong to be really hard to take.
Im browsing through the guide on TV and I see they are re-running JS on VH1. I look at the info to see which episode it is cuz I would def watch any season 1 episodes (better season IMO). This is what the description says:
"Mike has women at the house; Snooki has a fight; Sammi may leave Ronnie"
Thanks for clearin that up Verizon.

PTR Peak! Chosen for Victory Poker Contest!! More!by Joeingram1, December 03
This blog is going to be everywhere and probably my longest I have written
I haven't blogged for over a month now because I was kind of embarrased I wasn't able to hit 300k VPP In October like I had bet on. I think I still set the world record for most PLO hands in a month though at about 245k (not exactly sure on #) but it ended up being my most profitable month ever. I made about 22k at the tables and another 20k in bonuses so ended up being a 40k month. Not bad for failing a prop bet !!!
I ended October at around 780k VPPs and on a great pace to get SNE in an easy manner. Naturally I wanted to give myself more of a challenge so I decided to essentially take November off . I did manage 12k vpps though! My lease ended in November so instead of poker I decided to focus more on finding a new place to live, maybe a new car, maybe new roomate and it was stressing the fuck out of me. I went to Vegas for a few days and looked at City Center and Panorama places. I liked them but the area is just too ghetto for my tastes after living out here in San Diego. Plus the weather is shitty and I just wasn't that excited about it. I got back home around the 20th and was on tilt at my computer lagging a bit. So i decided to go out and purchase a whole new setup. I bought some orange Acer computer because it "looked cool" but it did have pretty good specs on it too. I didn't want to wait and get 30' monitors so I decided to try some 32' lcd tvs at first and they were just too fucking massive. So I opted to return them and go for 2 27' LG with the intention of adding on a 3rd if I liked how the setup looked.
Current setup in my room until I decide to move it out of here
I got a little happier after I got the new comp/moniotrs/speaker system/mouse but was still kinda stressed out so I decided to go shopping on Black Friday to my new fave store True Religion and 2nd fave Gucci and spend a bunch of money there. This actually made me quite happy again and I decided to come home and start grinding again. My bankroll was doing pretty well and I really didnt want to grind PLO until Decemember so I decided to play some 5/10 6m with a medium table selection. Meaning if I wasn't on tilt then I would leave bad tables with but if I was on tilt then all that shit goes out the window. Luckily I ran like a fucking god there and in the few PLO session I played. Here are all my hands/sessions so far on my new computer
My career peak on PTR has been like 28k for about a year now and I never thought I would be able to get over that hump again. Well I was finally able to and was more excited about that then actually having the money. Naturally with all this winning going on and knowing I would reach SNE this month and get 10k Cash + 10k WSOP cash instantly, win 7.5k in my prop bet and another 12kish in Bonuses along the way I decided to look at some nicer places closer to the ocean. This naturally gave me even more stress because I have looked at so many places at this point and cannot decide. Here is the view of the last place I looked at
I mean the view is fucking amazing but the inside wasn't really renovated at all and I felt like if I was going to pay 4.5k+ for rent, that I really wanted to love everything about the place. This may seem absurd to pay but that is the pretty standard price in La Jolla which is the Beverly Hills of San Diego they say. I've decided to keep looking for places around here and hopefully will be able to find one soon. My roomate ended up moving out the other day so I have now been alone for a day or two. When I say alone, I actually mean Rachael has been here as well doing her Rachael things. I really wish I could write about my feelings on our relationship in this amazing blog post but its probably better that I do not
One of the reasons I was looking for bigger place was because I brought up an amazing idea to my old roomate Kris. He essentially lived out here for 6 months but just wasn't working hard enough to make enough money and ended up going busto due to bills he has (cc,school,etc) and couldn't make enough to pay those/rent out here. He has since moved back to live with his parents in the middle of Indiana and taken a $9.50 job. He has started playing PLO recently on the side when he is not working and has been grasping the game pretty well. I proposed this to him, he could come out here starting January 1st and move in with me for free. I would take care of his bills for the first month that he has and in return he would have to be ready to work/grind for SNE playing 50-100PLO. I would take all his action if he wanted to so basically he would just have to put in the hands and work on his game. He would have ended up making around 5k in rakeback the first month instead of the 1100ish at his current job. Not only would he make more money, he would be able to have a million more options in the dating pool as the women out here are infintly better then the docks of Indiana. He thought about the idea for a few days but has ultimatly decided not to come back out here because he didn't think he could put in the hard work and deal with it all again I was really surprised by this and am kinda sad about it because I was looking forward to him actually pushing himself and achieving something at poker!
So now I am basically back to square 1 on house/apartment/condo hunting and not really sure what I want to do. But I can't really focus much on it because I need to worry about getting SNE!! I am currently at 806k VPP and have a fun grind ahead of me
Oh Yea, who remembers that video I made for the Victory Poker contest back in May??? Well turns out I got accepted to compete in that lol, I actually found out a week after I got chosen when I was tagged in the message on there Facebook page.
The 25th spot has been awarded but there are 4 more contestants being flown out along with 2 freeroll winners, 2 sponsor exemptions & Todd Wages from the Tattoo video.
The filming is scheduled for February in Las Vegas and the competition will last 14 days. Each day there will be a lifestyle competition and a Poker Battle to test each person's all-around skills. The group will be staying in a mansion and players will be eliminated daily based on performance, attitude, overall skills, bonus challenges, etc. by a panel of judges until we reach a final winner who's life will change... ----- $100,000 in tournament buy-ins, 1 year condo at Panorama Towers, car, watch, clothes, travel, a whole new world...
#at=20
On the one hand I am excited about this because who knows what it could potentially lead to and I may even win it. On the other hand, I really had my mind set on 3mill+ VPP next year and maybe take a run at most VPP ever in a year. The FPP value in that alone is around 390k+ and that really gets me excited thinking about it. I'm going to wait to find out some more details on everything but there is a good chance I will be there and settle for 2-2.5mill vpps
I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't cut my hair until I have achieved SNE, this is by far the longest it has been in about 6 years and i just don't know how I feel about it. Here is a picture I have of me at the gym getting my fucking swoll on preparing to take down SNE!! lol
I should have quit hours ago. I am raged with tilt right now. I had one of those sessions where you start off losing and you continue to lose. I swung down $600 then I was down only $200 then I swung down $800 then I got back to fucking even and I hate not making a profit every fucking session so I continue to play. I never EVER fucking got $1 in the green. As soon as I get close to even I just get fucked and fucked and fucked. I was put in so many stupid fucking spots today and everybody had a hand every time. Finish the session down $612. Fucking waste of ten hours. I can't even count how many times there was one or two cards I didn't wanna see hit and they hit every time. Coolered over and over again. I can't remember one time I 3 bet AK - hit the flop - and got paid at all. And I'm sure I 3 bet it about 25-35 times this session.
Also I am too lazy to find the hand but here is how the session went. I raise AJo get a call from button. Flop KQ6 I barrel. Turn 9 - I barrel. River 8. KQ698r Pot~$48 I bet $39 and get called by 64o.

i hate you , River. you are the worst street of them all! you are the only street where fish bet big against me. WHY? cause the efing river always brings the worst card in the deck!
8TQ flop with my AQ - the river brings the 9 - villains overbets pot
334T 2 hearts with my KK - the river brings the A of hearts - the passive idiot checkshoves
wooohooo i made quads today - guess what? i made them on the river! the thing is the 4th J was maybe the worst card in the deck for me cause the donk with a 6 in his hand on the j66 board thought he had it!
I HATE YOU RIVER! BUT I REALLY WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND CAUSE YOU ARE SO COOL! PLLEEEEASSSE!

PS: in retrospect maybe im getting outplayed by the thinking players that know the value of those bad river cards..or maybe maybe its that doomswitch disguised as a promotion called rushweek!!!!!

Today our company switched cell phone carriers and we all got new phones. Some time back while on Tmobile I purchased this little diddy to satiate my iphone cravings and move into the world of luxury mobile OS and touchscreen tekmology.
This phone was the neezies, beautiful 4.3" screen, android froyo OS, functionally useful and free apps, big enough screen to legitimately surf the internet, 4G speed, mobile hotspot, tethering so I can screw around at work, awesome for watching movies, and best of all a fucking badass touchscreen keyboard which I could type like a demon on, with fully threaded chat messaging.
Well our dipshit CEO got annoyed that he couldnt get reception with Tmobile in the boonies when he's shooting deer on the weekends, so he decided to switch us all to fucking verizon, just so he could call his hillbilly friends and tell them to bring the moonshine.
Yeah baby, check out that 1.5" screen. No touchscreen device here, fuck that shit we use TRACKBALLS. Want to read an email? View that shit in 2 colors nigga, black and white. HTML graphics are for pussies. So is texting, which is why you'll be doing it with tictac sized keys, so your fragile little fingers better man up and get used to pushing buttons instead of a touchscreen.
Man I really cant even go on any further, this shit is so depressing. Total fucking gimp cellphone incapable of shit. Damnit I miss my phone.
I'm a long time scbw and poker fan, I've been lurking here for a while. Started playing poker in late October after reading all the ballin shit rekrul has written, also I've got plenty of free time so what the heck.
Goals:
-practice tilt control (and get some stop loss limits)
-less spewing
-not play 6max (lost like 20$ in 2k hands roflwtf)
-play more regularly and atleast 25k hands this month. I only play on 4-6 tables.
Finally free of the "online poker effect"by whamm!, December 02
After quitting for 2 months now. It was hard to detox myself out of the rut poker imbedded in me. My mistake for not living a more balanced life for more than 4 years now, first time ever ive done this and it feels great. Im not even thinking about poker anymore, except for the fact that LP is still one the only few sites I NEED to check daily lol. No money less problems I guess, but the break is definitely worth it. I plan to get back to the grind next year but I'll have something on the side to do which keeps me from just
playing all day. I hope poker is kinder next year but I'm not too worried since I'm a lot less miserable and lonely now that I got some other stuff totally non-poker related to do everyday. Poker money is still easy and quick but I can't see myself doing this for another 2 years, so at least next year is a start!!!
good luck guys
When I first got into online poker, I could only do free money. After a while, I rocked. I was able to get a BI at multiple limits per hour at limit hold em. So I put down ten bucks, started doing .02/.04 six-handed limit. At first, I was making the same rate, a buy in per hour. Then, I switched over to NL. Worst idea I have ever made.
Now, after about six or so charges later, I'm back down to one dollar. Either I'm playing the wrong limits, or I'm just a horrible fish that thinks he's actually really good. I wanted to really get into the ante tables, because I know those people are much better players. I did try a few times, one time I lost a charge in one hand. AA v KK preflop. Now, I'm desperate not to resort to the free rolls until I get some more change going. I'm going back to limit.
I never really set a goal for poker, it was just to play an hour or two at a time. Nothing changed when I switched to NL. Still no goal. Now, my goal is to actually follow good bankroll management, even though I'm starting with a dollar. With one dollar BIs, I'm going up to forty bucks until I go to two buck BIs, the next limit. Going with twenty BIs per limit, my final goal is to get up to 250 bucks. That way I can play the twenty-five dollar BI for those ante tables.
