So I started from scratch with $100 at NL 10 about 10 weeks ago. Due to a massive heater and a new mindset/discipline I managed to grind through NL 10/NL 25 and then went to NL 50 @ $1250 and after 42k hands there my roll sits at $3600. So here comes the dilemma.I have probably played around 400k hands at NL 50 throughout the past two years - It is where I am most comfortable at. But I now have 36 buy ins for NL 100 and I think it's time to stop fucking around and progress my game even further, especially since I have been playing for 2 years online and am only at NL 50. Can some more experienced players please offer me some guidance and feedback on what to expect when I move up. Keep in my mind I have played solely Rush Poker and plan on continuing to do so.
i am trying not to be depressed but i probably am extremely depressed
been way too long without anything good happening in my life at all it feels like.. and especially poker-wise. definitely the biggest thing
at least in most ways. i'm sure someone could point out how i have somewhere to live and stuff and yeah that's good stuff, sure. i will concede those things as nothing to complain about. so don't reply with that.
Stripper handjob failblogby Charliehorse, October 19
Holy fuck no mercy for the weak
I go to strip club get two "dancers" at same time, one of them likes to give massages and gives me her card after the dance. She was telling me all this personal stuff about her brother suiciding and she has no boyfriend and two children. So I thought she wanted me as boyfriend cause next day I ask her if she wants to smoke weed or give me massage and she invites me to dinner and a movie and we hold hands, hug and kiss. Problem starts when I start telling her that I've attempted suicide and been in a mental hospital (holy fuck did not see this one coming) cause next day she asks me to hangout with her at strip club. Like now i'm confused if she wants me as client or boyfriend. Maybe the strip club is just a cool place and she wants me to check it out?
So I tell her im confused and if she wants me as boyfriend or client, she says what how are you confused you are a client, I met you at club. So then I text her if she gives happy ending massages. My phone snap rings after I send the text.
Me: whatsup
she: what's your problem
me: (I don't think well on my feet, infact I don't think well at all) what?
She: The texT you sent me
me: it was just a question
she: it was a rude question and you know it
me: um, ok I'm sorry (fml I'm a piece of shit can't even stand up for what I believe in or get a handjob, simultaneously)
maybe mufassa has it figured out, just never get out of bed
fuck life, world of Warcraft is better than life
I have atoned for my previous day's sins and recovered nicely today to make back the 7k I lost in my session yesterday morning. Stopped at 160k VPP exactly so not far behind pace after 18 days. It just hit me today that I am only half way to the 300k vpp mark and god damn, it sure has felt like a super long grind so far. Hopefully these next few sessions will fly by and once i hit 250k vpp it should be easy sailing from there because the goal will be so close.
Played a few sick hands today that Ill post in my next blog where I thought there was a 5 percent chance I could have lost less then I did but probably not. Need to sleeps to wake up and do it all over again tomorrow. Who knew having a gf to take care of you while you grind would be so +ev also
Almost to the 700k Milestone too, ship another few K to the account!
Graph is missing a few hundred profit from 3/6 deep tables that dont import for me for some reason
I started filling out with €2.2's to be able to climb up in the leaderboard (it's €1-€5 levels). Right now I'm at 7th place, but if I keep this up I should be able to get the 4th spot for €500.
I'm quite busy in life right now so I don't really much spare time for blogging. I apologize for the low quality around here lately. It will get better within a week or so.
It seems like I'll have to postpone my Japan trip a bit. Next month I'll be looking for playing mostly €11's, with a much better deal. If I just put in enough games I should be able to stay abroad for quite a long time. Hopefully long enough to be able to avoid most of the winter here in Sweden. I'm so not looking forward to another 2 months of -20C....
so last night its a friends birthday and theres a pub quiz on, good excuse for a piss up. we drank lots while the quiz was on, and we won . first prize was a £50 bar tab, by this point there is only 5 of us left, so we just spend it on a few beers a few shots and what not.
I live in a town and pubs shut at 12, but asda is open 24 hours, so we go there to get some more alcohol. we storm about in asda behaving drunk and obnoxious as to be expected, get some alcohol and leave.
At this point i jump in a trolley and get my mate to push me about, its all a bit hazy now but somehow the trolley has gone straight into a empty trolley bay, i smashed straight through see through plastic and crashed my face into a pole, could lose my 4 front teeth at the top. i look like a hill billy :x Will i get in trouble for smashing a trolley bay? got a friend of a friend to drive me to a hospital 90 minutes car journey away. I feel a bit guilty making her drive all that way at 1 in the morning, i shudda just got a taxi.
past week i ran good in some mtts, was really happy with my play came 7th in warm up for 19.5k, 11th in 55 rebuy losing a race for chip lead, 2nd in a 5$ rebuy for 3k and 2nd in 109 rebuy for $13k.
Thats basically all ive won this year about $34k + 16k$ bonuses on stars and most of it came from my run good last week. won some money on some various other sites.
if anyne can swap 1500 of my stars for 1500 on full tilt, pm me grateful to anyone that can help.
So I've been struggling a lot for the last 2 months or so, and even strayed away from playing my normal loose game to mass tabling nitting it up playing 14/11 or so. That didn't work so I did a lot of studying on trends of bigger winners and stuff.
October 17th is when I made these applications, and I'm on the first solid winning streak I've had in two months. I'll post a graph at the end of the month and I think there will be a noticeable difference.
Obviously there isn't much you can conclude from a sample of say 60k hands which is what I'll have, but there are specific spots you can filter out that actually converge very fast. I've also been doing a little bit of Holdem Manager analysis and there is noticeable difference in redline and such in my play as well. It seems previous very consistent trends in my postflop and preflop play have made big shifts.
Might be a pre-mature claim but I think I may have upped my winrate by at least 2ptbb.
My low peak was this month was -20bi or so, and I am predicting by the end of the month my graph will look like a giant checkmark. Keep me accountable on this!

Crushed this piece of shit and ran ridiculous. Hit $500 bankroll mark and will take a shot at NL 25 rush either tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel. From what I hear people 3bet and fold a lot more.
300 chips 6max sng experimentby Seobombisgay, October 18
i mentioned before that I would try out the 300 chip 6max sngs and im pretty happy i did. my hourly $ is much higher there since i can play 10+ tables so i made my decision to become a 6max grinda. To get comfortable with the 6max dynamics, i started off at the 20s-35s. i'm going to continue to do so until end of oct and im gonna start taking shots all the way up to 65s. treat me well november, plz.
