Thats right, I am giving up on my 1.6Ghz Sempron with 512 MB ram. Half of jacks and usb ports aren't working, I don't have the side casing and it just made me loose too much money recently with my growing database.
Shipping $700 1TB Hdd AMD Quad Core beast (with just 3Gb ram , but upgradeable up to 8), with W7+XP dual load and ATI HD graphics or something. Should be +ev investment.

Pokerwise I have no Idea how I am doing, I didn't check my cashier in a week despite playing a ton. I watched some 10 vids and read 8 articles across Bluefire, DC and poker strategy past few days and I have started marking awkward/interesting hands and doing session reviews.
U just realized that I have done shit work past 15 months and a lot of work is needed on my health, time management, but also a fuck ton of work is needed on my poker game if I want to make it as a pro.


From now on I am only posting hands from my session reviews, and most of them have a question or a specific concept attached along with stats from 'export w/stats' HEM feature- I would be really grateful if some of you could skim through hands I posted within last week and fire with comments and critique. I come back to them and will read any additional comments that you post to all old hands, you can also just post links to my blog so that more people can discuss.

Also pm me if you think some hands I send are worth a separate thread in low stakes.

EDIT:And don't be afraid to be harsh, I don't mind being called a retard if you give me an explanation why I am being a retard and what should I improve (I am very stubborn/egotistic in nature, don't be put off by that. There was a really interesting article on Poker strategy and I have identified that I have a very strong LAG personality )

I ended up having a busy weekend where I was trying to play at nights but didn't get much action so not many games were played.

9/10 - 38 games +€1
10/10 - 71 games +€69.50
11/11 - 49 games +€80.50

I'm reporting today's result early because I have decided to move up to the €11 level. There's a rake race starting on NoiQ this Saturday (16th) going on for 15 days (31th), in which I believe I can rake in a decent prize if I just put in a serious amount of volume.

Besides the rake race there's also the Entraction Sit & Go leaderboard which has already started for the medium stakes level (€10-€30). Because of that I should start playing €11's today already to try catch up with the other players.

My goal is to keep playing about 100 games per day until Saturday when the race starts, in which I'm aiming at playing 3000 games in 15 days. By doing this I hope to make at least €2,500 in total from all promotions they are running during these 15 days. If I'm doing well I should also be able to make at least €1,000 profit from the games I'm playing.

Pretty sweet for grinding low stakes sit and go's. Let's just hope I have enough time and motivation to keep up this volume.

The bankroll is currently at €540.

Hey all, I recently just started to get my feet wet in poker after hearing about it, come from TL. I've read pretty much all the beginner things, I have the basic grasp and I follow the articles posted here for micro tables pretty much by law to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. Even though these are just micro tables, I find myself not profiting at all. I've put in 40$ collectively(it's not much but I don't want to lose even more, this was in intervals of 10$ deposits), and I'm currently on my last 4$. I'll win, but at the end of it all I didnt win enough, and I am down money. I realize like many competitive games, you have to take losses on the chin. However, my chin is starting to hurt and I realize I'm probably horrible, but is it just me? Do other people have anything they they found out which was extremely obvious that improved their game when they started out?

Other than, you're awful and quit, is there anything I can do or am I just destined to, quit?

Thanks LP

I've got this terrible problem where I can't sleep through the night...and it's pissing me off. I've done just about everything I can to make myself need to sleep at the right times, but I wake up after 3-4 hours of sleep every night and can't go back to sleep. It makes me want to kill something in a bad way.

Anyways thats me venting on that matter...Kinda. Good thing is i crush SnGs even more late at night, so I may be getting a quick session in, I dunno.

Does anyone know if I can filter HEM to show me results specifically for Sundays only.

I'm pretty sure I'm down 100's of K's on Sundays lifetime. It's like clockwork I lose 5k+ every single Sunday in cash.

If I can see how much I'm down on Sunday I'll prob put a 1k bounty on catching me playing ring NL on sundays.

looked at some options i had for side/main income business or work potential and so far saw nothing in sight, realized i wasnt good at anything else and me winning at 50nl and breaking even at 100nl is probably all im good for lol.
so that being said im ready to upload money again and get my ass grinding soon. took a short break and played a lot of cs and sc (realized i wasnt good at those either) gl guys.

Whats going on guys, 300k VPP month pursuit is going well so far. I set an original goal of 10k VPP/day so that I could be done by Halloween. Fell a little behind that pace the last 2 days and today I sat in bed with my gf all day and watched this tv show FireFly that was only lasted one season+ a movie. After 12 episodes I finally decided to get on the grind some and played about 6k vpps worth bringing my grand total for the month to right around 81,000.

I have been trying to find the best way to put in a mass amount of volume at PLO without losing my mind from the variance and I think I have find a good solution for that. I've been tightening up all my ranges, especially from OOP and I lowered my overall 3bet percent and stopped jamming it in with any draw/set depending on the spot. I might be missing out on a few +ev spots but I figure it is alot better for my overall variance if I play it a little more cautious and take advantage of the more +ev spots that are inevitable to come along. I was feeling pretty good about my game so I decided to add in some more 2/4 plo to the mix and actually had my best plo day ever a few days ago!!!

I can't even describe how amazing it felt to finally play really well and have it all starting to click in my head. Usually my big winning sessions I feel pretty meh but this one I was just fucking ecstatic!! Overall my month started up a bunch then down alot and now is just on the up and up. Will be coming up on another round of 4k FPP/700k vpp milestone bonus as well which help the bankroll out tremondously and give me something to look foward too. Here is my overall graph for the month with about 1k profit/5k hands from NL and the rest is from PLO

Also going to the store to buy those big ass bags of halloween candy to have around to eat is soo +ev. Thanks for reading the blog, need to sleep to wake up tomorrow and grind some more


This Month: 80,879 VPP
This year: 617,076 VPP

So I'm flying to Amsterdam on tuesday morning, and meeting up with a friend who's flying in from Sweden. We're going to see the Euro qualification game. I'll be very happy if we get 1 point, but if there ever was a time to beat Holland, that time is now; due to the fact that they have a bunch of players missing. Will be in Amsterdam for 2 days, any tips (dont need coffee shop tips)?

On to more football, my team Malmö FF is in 1st place with a few games left. We haven't won the league since 2004, and I missed the celebration that time since I was in the army. I will be travelling home to see their last game and be there to celebrate with them.

After that a friend's dad is coming to Barcelona to watch FCK (Copenhagen) against FC Barcelona, so I'll probably tag along. 2 weeks after that, one of my best friend's is coming over for like 10 days, and we're going to check FC Barcelona - Sevilla out - should be awesome.


So schedule looks something like this:

Netherlands - Sweden
Barcelona - FCK
Barcelona - Sevilla
Malmö FF - Mjällby


Other than that work is going ok, got a lot of stuff to do which I guess is good. Still 60 hour work weeks go by quicker than you would imagine. Looks like im picking up a lot of milage this year:

I do Barcelona - London at least once a month to our HQ. Got a few clients in Sweden that I will visit too, so nice to be back home (I guess). Other than that, my mom invited me and my girlfriend to Chicago over thanksgiving, so we're going there for about 8 weeks, and I think I will be back for x-mas (if I'm not at my dad's place in Munich).

Anyways, here are some pics from Barcelona
