Been playing NL50 the past few days and am actually up about 4 BI's so far, so I think its safe to say im officially moved up to NL50 now. Plus getting the $250 bonus from rush week, so that will help tons.
(Music) Some Dubstep for you nubs!by Stim_Abuser, November 30
Well I've recently got into a relatively new genre of music called Dubstep. Shits amazing and definitely needs to be played at high volumes. Thought I'd share a little with you guys. It's definently not for everyone but if you like to dance and get funky in general you'll probably love it.
theres a little sample of some. if there are enough people interested then i'll make another post with some more.
This month was rough but still much better than my average month this year. I worked really hard but burned out the last week and started to play badly. I spewed and ended up losing a lot but I learned a great deal from it (poker-wise). Further, it just confirmed that I still need to deal with some mental issues that cause tilt.
I learned a ton this month. I still have a lot to learn both poker-wise and in tilt-control / strength of character. I want to keep up the heavy grinding regime until the end of the year but will certainly allot for days off if required. Going to do some volunteer work at a local school for the disabled and promised a 2-day trip with the gf.
As standard with my blogs, would really recommend this badminton game:
They are the two best players in the world by a wide margin and it is mindblowing how they continue to step up their game.
At 18 mans. Well, my 18 man game is certainly improving, but I'm not making any money at it. I think I'm +EV in the games now, but as you can see by my graph, my edge is probably pretty minimal, especially in the $16 and up games. http://i51.tinypic.com/1zbxm39.png
I'm getting better, but have a long ways to go if I'm going to be grinding these to make money =[
That being said, I do have some pretty amazing results in 180 mans lately. I feel like most regs don't really have an edge on me, but I also don't want to play 180 mans forever, and need to improve a lot in 18 mans.
I'm getting coaching from ihaterivers, probably one of the best sng grinders, and arguably the best 180 player in the world. Pretty happy about it, will likely post results about it later. http://i55.tinypic.com/rrqc6g.jpg
This is the last 3000 games, definitely playing and running well, but there's always room for improvement.
As much as I love rush because of the volume of hands I can get in, it is time to go back to ring games. Playing 4 tables of rush doesn't not allow a lot of time for decision making. I feel that most of my losses are due to bad calls on the river and planning processes. Although there are a lot of terrible players at rush poker, I do not sit with them every hand, making it harder to win money off the fish.
I have not played a significant amount of ring game hands yet, only about 4000. I'm up about 4BI but know the swings could come at any moment. I still hate the fact that ring games are too slow but a least when I make decisions I have enough time to think. The one thing I like the most is being able to see the showdowns of other players instead of automatically jumping to new tables. This way it is much easier to notice who is a huge fish based on the showdowns. Rush has increased my speed of analysis so keeping track of 8 full ring tables and all the players feels ridiculously easy. Will be looking forward to the challenge in December.
I am looking for something that has a good chart of distribution of PLO hands, so I can get an estimate hand strength. Like how do I find out what the top 30%, 40%, 70% of PLO hands?
First time I've ever actually attempted to grind lol. I think I put in 30k hands in all of last year, so a single month is new for me, just because I normally play 1 table at a time so I can focus the most. I really started going downhill after I began 4-8 tabling rush. It's weird, because I dont even know how or why. It just seemed like I always found myself in spots where I simply had to bet or had to call. Occasionally a little tilt would creep up in there to go with it which only added fuel to the fire. I used to love rush just because I could single-table the game pretty quickly. Once I realized I could click buttons fast enough to play 8 I decided I might as well play 8. Either something is seriously wrong with my hand selection or I'm really just not giving enough thought to board textures when barreling away because I would consistently lose no matter what my style was, from nit to lag.
My bankroll is hurting pretty bad, so I'm just gonna suck it up and go back to one tabling, because I think a lack of focus is playing a huge part in these losses here. One thing to look forward to is with a reduced number of tables I can play with a more aggressive bankroll. Would really like to get to NL50 by the end of December. My game selection will simply be whatever I feel is +EV for me at any given moment, which is basically a mix of HUsng's, 6max, rush, and MTT's. Basically everything lol, it's hard to say, sometimes I just feel I'm in the zone for a particular game format.
some1 can help me with wow?by srojitas1, November 29
hi, im just looking for help to buy wow liccenses.. www.battle.net so i would like to buy 3 full wow liccenses that is 20 each one for today and tomorrow i think.. so any1 who can help me ill send 80, mb or ps or ftp, ill send first pm me if u r interested
Anybody else participating in this? If you get 1000FTP in rush for all 7 days this week, you get a $250 bonus, and its gonna get me to put a lot of volume in at NL50, so its a win win for me.
One question though, how will this affect my rakeback? Will it take $250 away from my rakeback, or a smaller percent? I'm not sure how it's calculated and don't wanna be playing this much rush for no reason if its just gonna take it all away from my rakeback. Thanks for reading, GL at the tables.
