not a bad start + why am i an econ major (ls)by mnj, September 22
today was the first day of my challenge (as mentioned in last post) and started off pretty well. i played for about 3 hours, so i felt pretty good. i ran great, no complains. but i can def tell that my v-betting has been improving tremendously. increased hand reading not only lets you know when you're beat but more importantly lets you bet accordingly to get thinner v-bets.
anyway i reflected upon my life as it's career fair here @ uf and am pretty pissed with myself. i pretty much got a worthless degree and am somewhat resentful towards uf for even offering such a major. i feel swindled to be quite frank. i really wish i had tried harder in college but imagine every human being goes through this.
i've been thinking about what i wanted to do with my life since graduation (may-ish) and have been waiting tables and sitting on my ass for a long time. i guess it's kinda like those high school summer breaks. where i stayed home for like 10 straight days and slept/eat/tv did absolutely nothing. u get so sick and bored to the point where you go out and get shit done (like getting a job, making money, partying). i feel the same way now. i'm so sick of having such a bleak future and am ready to do something about it. after thinking about it for a really long time, i think i want to go to law school. i hear it opens up alot of opportunity and that's something i wanna have.
while were talking about colleges here is a small list of useful degrees in no particular order:
electrical engineering (any engineering in general is a nice degree and is much more versatile than i thought because it's intertwined with business these days)
pre-pharm/pre-health
finance/accounting
main point though is to try hard because that really does leave all doors open in w/e degree you choose.
quitting smoking is fukn hardby whamm!, September 21
- it's next to impossible
- havent played a lot past weeks, mindset cannot handle any sort of variance, on extreme ragetilt when i see beats
- ecigs help a ton
- head is so fucked up right now i cant even play a hand when i sit down and end up closing stars client
- mood swings daily, crazy thoughts about quitting poker, grinding 200kvpp in 3 months , cashing out, getting out of stars again etc lol
i wont be going back to smoking, its a promise that ive made which i intend to keep, thats why my head is really fucked up right now. last time i went to the gym i just felt smoking cut my wind down to like 5% remaining lol, hated it and finally thought of giving up smoking afer 23 years (started when i was 14, have not quit a single day averaging 1pack a day ) but since poker i think its been up to 2packs or more daily.
Today I have finally finished the diary and report from my 13 months of work. I worked on it slowly over the past 10 days, but I ended up having to write 16k words in the past 3 days. I focused on summarizing of what I have learned in my 17k words journal, and there was not much time left for the 10k word 'academic' report that I actually get marked on. Big surprise - its complete shit. But it should be aight, as I need only some 35% mark, and my diary shows the magnitude of work that I have actually done, and loads things I've learned while working in Finance.
Its was a great experience, I have hopefully made impact and some processes that I have designed or improved will be used for years. But now...Finally...I am a student and the whole work experience is wrapped up.
I will finally start to put in some major volumes in this poker thingy (I am at NL50 again, lost 4 BI at NL100) You guys can't even understand how relieved I am right now. (and tired, 3 hours is not a lot of sleep, and them 3litres of energy drinks used in last 2 days *might*catch up with me)

Just had a 4 hour session tonight. Made around $50 playing 4 tables, 6 max, 0.05/0.10 NL. Didn't do to well the first 2 hours, but made a lot in hour 3. 4th hour I didn't do to much. My bank roll is now at $190~ so I have almost doubled it since Saturday. :D
So some questions for the more experienced players. What would be a good bank roll for playing the 0.05/0.10 NL games? And what are your opinions on the software I should be using? Poker Edge 5 is really helping me out, and PokerTracker 3 is helping with looking at my overall play. They both seem expensive though. What other good alternatives are out there?
Something that I actually learned from High School was in my AP Environmental Studies class called the Tragedy of the Commons. Since this was a while ago and I did terrible in that class I'm just going to copy/paste the Wikipedia definition for this which articulates it much better than I could: The tragedy of the commons is a dilemma arising from the situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently, and solely and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long-term interest for this to happen.
E.g. imagine there are 5 fishing companies which reside over a lake. For simplicity's sake, let's say their ability to catch fish is dependent on how big of a net they cast into the lake. It soon becomes evident that as each company competes against one another to develop bigger nets, fish are being mined out of the lake at a rate faster than they can reproduce. How does the entire fishing industry remedy this problem? It would involve all 5, not one less, fishing companies to mutually agree to stop developing such bigger nets and/or to limit how much fish they take out in a day. Acting out of financial self-interest (or the interests of their stock holders), either there would be no companies willing to do this, or there would never be a unanimous consent. Even if there were 4 companies consenting, the fifth company now sees the ample financial opportunity, keeps developing bigger nets, which directly results in greater returns, which motivates them to build even bigger nets to mine out the lake until it's depleted.
While the number of fish will never be completely depleted in online poker, it's evident that we're witnessing a similar situation - my point is that no one should be complaining about it. The reason for that is mostly because no one can do anything about it. You will never get a consent amongst every bumhunter in online poker to stop bumhunting. The argument against training sites have died down, the poker community at large has accepted them as part of the reality of the industry. So why isn't it the same with bumhunting?
I'm a believer that every reg, besides the absolute sickos, is a bumhunter himself, just to varying extents. The true bumhunters I refer to here are the ones who make an active effort to never play regs and only play fish as their sole source of income. In the fishing analogy above, the companies have obligations towards their employees and stockholders to pay them sufficiently, and to themselves so that they can improve the quality of life for themselves and their families. They have no ecological obligations that I know of (maybe some weird legalities here and there but we'll ignore that), no obligation to be compassionate towards the fish themselves or fish rights' advocacy groups. The richest company will simply be the one that can build the bigger net so that they can mine out the lake at a faster rate than the others, all whom wouldn't hesitate to do the same if they could.
The true bumhunter has no obligation to keep in the poker economy in check. The very practice of bumhunting is a shortterm practice in and of itself, so they have no obligations towards the future (i.e. longterm). The true bumhunter wants to cast his net and try to acquire the fish as effectively as possible, before his opportunity is taken by others. It's a sad thing for the poker economy and the game itself, but it was an inevitable consequence, especially as the games got tougher (previous article: Pivot to save your poker career).
I do think that the bumhunters who regularly do scummy things like grim your big blind HU, hit and run for a few bbs HU, sit out and seat-block, break games by mass sitting out when the fish is sitting out, use illegal software to identify/auto-sit etc. should be berated because it's just a disrespectful thing to do against any other human being. Besides that, since no one can do anything to particularly change this tragedy of the commons situation, one shouldn't expend any mental resources worrying about it. Accept it as part of the reality of the games, just like when everyone pretty much just HAD to accept shortstackers on their tables (until table buy-in changes came in of course) - you just adjust to their presence and play accordingly. If you truly view them as being unskilled, you should be able to exert some sort of edge over them for some positive winrate over the time they're still seated at the table.
Here are some quick tips/tricks to adjust to bumhunters. Like I mentioned, I believe we're all bumhunters inside, just some moreso than others, so this will apply to a lot of people but some not so much as others.
1. If acting after the mark and the bumhunter, re-iso their iso raises and 3bets. A re-iso 3bet size (or 4bet) ends up being very tricky to deal with and often threatens stacks to be put into play, tighter players trying to iso light but not comfortable tangling with regs should play straightforward here. Obviously it works better when IP rather than oop, as with pretty much anything in poker.
2. If acting before the mark and the bumhunter, open more which tends to make the bumhunter play more straightforward. He might peel more speculative hands hoping the fish comes along but that's something most people are probably comfortable with dealing with by now.
3. If acting between the bumhunter and the mark, you can 3bet or flat a lot here, both of which is going to give you a weird relative position to the mark but will give you direct position against the bumhunter who likely can't or isn't willing to do much to play back against you.
4. If acting between the mark and the bumhunter, just iso a lot more than you normally would knowing that the bumhunter will just try to wait for hands and won't do anything like re-iso you light (like a tricky, aggro reg would).
I think online poker is shifting towards the direction of just accepting bumhunters like we've eventually accepted training sites (a tragedy of the commons scenario itself - the less training sites the less competent regs there would be, meaning less money taken out of the poker economy each year), shortstackers, mass multi tablers, etc. Inevitably you just have to find your own niche within the industry and base your adjustments and mentality towards the game from there.
Thanks for reading the article, in other news I've decided to pick Sanai for coaching. Thanks for all the applications, I got a lot more than I expected and read every single one of them.
