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.
nothing out there... so poker it is. lolby whamm!, October 10
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.
9 Days/81k VPP + 7.5k Day :) :)by Joeingram1, October 10
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
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).
im looking for a stake to play mtts from 2$ to 26$ guaraanteed beeing my highest roi tournaments..and grind higher if goes well
follow a 50buyin br managment..
50/50 plus make up
stake untill the end of 2010 or when to reach 10000$
I'm at the point that I'm not sure the 1 dollars are worth playing when I see ZERO difference in the two levels. I'm going to start making it at least an even ratio and probably move closer to just the $3 ones.
End of the night I'm up 48 bucks and am very happy about it. Can't ever complain about approximately 15 bucks an hour, and soon to be more hopefully.
This also gives me a good start on my building tomorrow, as I hope to build up to at least 100 in profit for the week so I can run a few tournaments Sunday as per my plan.
Speaking of which, anyone have a good list of 5-10 dollar tournaments with solid guarantees and not 8000 people in them? PS FT or Absolute, doesn't really matter. Looking for a decent format, good payout, and starting between 1-4pm Central time. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Time for a little personal info: I love playing/listening to guitar...sooo heres a video!

Probably gonna jinx myself.../Big Game talkby Carthac, October 08
But I have been running fairly decent and feel my play has improved significantly. With bonuses/rakeback/winnings, im not too far off from taking another shot at NL25. However, I may stay here for a little while longer and make sure my game is strong and this isnt a nice piece of short term variance.
If you have not figured it out already from my previous blogs/posts, I am a huge fan of TV poker, and this week has been huge in that aspect. The Poker After Dark table this week is literally amazing, and the Pokerstars Big Game table is pretty awesome as well.
Table consists of the amateur loose cannon(who is surprisingly not too bad compared to the other participants that have been on the show), Antonio Esfandiari, Tony G, Ike Haxton, Jason Mercier, and Phil Hellmuth.
Ike Haxton has truly impressed me from what I have seen so far. However, the person that has blown me away is Phil Hellmuth. He has completely changed his style in this cash game, and is playing very solidly. Along with this, he is taking huge beats but keeping his cool, even with Tony G being a complete ass and doing his best to needle him in every way possible.
If you have not checked it out yet, you really should.
