Man oh man, just got back from some live NL50. As I type this I cant help but stare at the screen damage I have inflicted on my monitor, all from sessions that were about half as bad as tonight's. Yet I am quite happy, feeling content, and in a good mood. Why? Because I played live. I lost to so many bad beats, but yet there I was, laughing and patting them on the backs, it was all in good fun. I came with 2 fucking buyin's, didnt stress one bit, and played my A game as if I had 50 buyins. This is what I've been talkin about, playing online just sucks so bad for me. I cant believe how easily I tilt online and yet live doesnt bother me at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I should simply stick to live play. What a good night. I'm sitting there shipping A6o from the SB knowing it's good and wanting them to call, and I get obliged by 67s, and lose. No worries I got it in ahead. Then I ship AKo the very next hand and get called by 77 and win. At this table I'm playing for value, I'm literally fist pumping when they turn over a dominated hand. Online I'm literally squeamish hoping they dont somehow suckout. This is a huge fucking problem for me as a poker player. Basically everything I do online I do backwards. I mean I play for value the same way but do it for different reasons, I dont know how to describe it. In any event, tonight's session even further solidified the reality that I should just stick to live play. I still havent deposited online per my plan to take a silly shot at the shallow tables on stars, and now I'm realizing this will just be a recipe for disaster when I lose my 4-5 BI's to some fish. But I can take that same money and play those same limits live and be totally happy about it.


Oh yeah, I somehow miraculously broke even tonight, to the dollar from my initial buyin.

Hey everyone, thanks to those who weighed in on my last post, tooker, whamm, byrnesam, and K40Cheddar. I especially want to thank K40Cheddar, I tried a $2.00 + 0.20 2-7 Triple Draw Sit-and-Go just now and owned, had to come back from the brink but clearly that's mostly because it's a pretty high variance game, since as you can see from the hands I posted, my opponent was pretty dumb. I'm underrolled so I'm not sure if I want to keep going, but I'm glad I found a way to own nubs now. So thanks!

After a ~100bi downswing (half of it on stupid MTTs ), I'm gonna start grinding hardcore till the end of the year. Have 90k VPPs right now, plan to get to 200k by playing the 57s only(so I have to play a shitfuckinglot of sngs everyday, 1k VPP/day-13.75 vpps/sng).

With my winrate + rakeback the plan is to make 1000 buy ins until the end of the year, so wish me luck guys!

Day one was nice, my head is spinning a lil bit cuz I played a lot more than needed but ran quite good and ended up a lot, at this pace I'd end +3000 bis lol but I expect the run bad to hit me or my level of play to decrease due to going crazy.

Really hope I can pull it off

What's up LP.

I wanna start this blog by saying thank you to anyone who has commented on my hand histories, blog, or who railed me in MiniFTOPS event 1. I really appreciate it, it helps me become a better player, and I feel more "part of the community." You guys have really helped me out.

Anyways, to the updates...

I am starting to move up to NL10 rush. My bankroll now sits at 510$ and I feel good about my chances to succeed at the new limit. At NL10 I have noticed more 3betting blind v button which for someone who steals all the time is a little frustrating, but I am working on

a.) looking at stats before I steal (thinking twice before stealing from 11% 3bet)
b.) stealing with hands that at least have some equity post flop

My NL5 results are as such...

http://x25.xanga.com/1b4f754223630271712863/b216714710.png

http://x24.xanga.com/f92f634023633271712864/b216714711.png


I feel like the limit is pretty much beaten for now. Maybe I'll have to go back, and honestly part of me wants to stay there because I feel very comfortable grinding it, but with 50 buyins for NL10, I need to push myself and move up.
----------------------
The second part of this update is about miniFTOPS Event #1! I made a deep run (came in 153rd) and made 173$, which is pretty gay compared to how much I could have made, but not a bad score for a NL5 grinder. Obviously I had luck when I needed it, but I also feel like up until the last 30 minutes of the tournament I was playing very solid.

Last year I played event #10 and was making a deep run until this hand so in my mind I've had success in these big MTTs. Granted it's only two of them, but I've also had a deepish run in the Super Stack $6000 guarantee. I feel like I preform best with a super stack as opposed to a normal 1500 starting stack.

Looking at my sharkscope, it's pretty obvious I have concentration issues but I've been learning a lot about stealing and restealing and yesterday I felt very comfortable playing around the bubble. . Regardless, it was exciting for me to have a run at a decent payout. Also, playing with Scott Fischman was fun too. Lucky he was on my right, and lucky he wasn't too active.

The one thing I did do that was a big BIG BIG mistake was invite my friends over to rail me. They were such faggots. Individually I'm sure they all would have been serious, but they came to rail me and ended up just being annoying and not helpful. Granted they don't really play poker, but it still sucked. Definitely helped me lose my concentration and drive near the end of the tournament. Next time I will try harder, learn from my mistakes, and hopefully do a better job. As of now I'm thinking about what other event to play...
------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, that's it for now. Does anyone have any advice for NL10 rush? Nl10 in general? Poker in general? lol. I've been trying to study a lot.

Thanks for reading LP.

Looking to sell 120k Gold, currently on Illidan US Horde, 10k for $30, or all 120k for $350. Prefer paypal or pokerstars.

Can do server xfer for large orders if you are willing to cover the character transfer fee.

Been around the LP/TL community since 2002 and can get plenty of people to vouch if needed.

I am selling custom Auto Hotkey scripts for use on pokerstars.

The way that my scripts work is that they enable you to make use of your mouse and keyboard in a more direct way in performing actions as you interface with the pokerstars client, thereby saving you time and energy.

I have two scripts for sale.

The first is a modified BetPot script for use on Pokerstars. It is a modified version of the Overcards.com/wiki Betpot 0.21s with the updated stars pics for absolute compatibility with the present stars build which you can find here.

The way that my script works is that with every increment of the mouse wheel up, it increases the bet size by 1 bb and with every decrement of the mouse wheel down it decreases the bet size by 1bb on every table on pokerstars that I have tested it on. This includes NLHE cash, PLO cash, Limit cash (which includes stud and other formats), and both NLHE/PLO/LIMIT MTT and SNG formats. I have modified the script so that there is no right click or other keyboard functionality to it whatsoever, and as a bonus, pressing CTRL-mouse wheel up increases the bet size by 1sb. Similarly, pressing CTRL-mousewheel down decreases the bet size by 1sb. My script also enables you to not have to click directly on the table before starting to modify your bet amount - all that you have to do is have your mouse over the applicable table. The script has been tested on and works for the following table themes: default, new black, old black, marine, and hyper simple and it works at all table sizes. All of this works to save you both time and energy and streamlines the betting process on pokerstars immeasurably in my opinion.

I also have a auto-reload script for sale. The way that my script works is that whenever you want to reload your stack, you simply press the middle button of your mouse and your stack will be reloaded at first opportunity. It does not work for tournaments - if you are playing a rebuy, you must use the rebuy functionality of the site. The script has been tested on and works for the following table themes: default, new black, old black and hyper simple and it also works at all table sizes.

Both scripts also work on custom table themes based upon the hyper simple table theme.

I am selling the BetPot script as described for $30.

I am selling the Auto Rebuy script as described for $25.

I will also service custom orders. If, for instance, you want to have a BetPot script which opens to 2.1x on right click or F12 or suchlike specifically for MTTs, I would be more than happy to service your order. The same applies for the Auto Rebuy script (if you want to reload on right click or F12 for instance). The surcharge for this is $10 per item.

Please be aware that these are Auto Hotkey scripts. Auto Hotkey (or AHK) is a scripted macro program which operates at the software level and it interacts with your pokerstars client exclusively at that level.

You can get it here.

If you do not want to install Auto Hotkey on your computer, I would be more than happy to sell compiled executables for use, albeit with a minor surcharge ($5/item). I stand behind my product and assert that there is absolutely no risk to your computer through the use of my products and would be more than happy to have them scanned and evaluated by any form of antivirus or malware scanner that you can offer.

The reason that you should purchase my scripts is because TableNinja or other suchlike programs are bloatware and a general monstrosity to the user in my estimation. If you beg to differ, well, then you shouldn't buy my product because you are not my target market. These are scripts created by and for the use of the serious player who prefers to have the poker client mostly as it is in it's native form, only with streamlined betting and reloading functionality. This stands in direct opposition to a product like TableNinja which likes to place a yellow border around your table, or make it very difficult to modify a custom bet amount, or likes to moves your tables around. There is no negative interaction with HEM or Pokertracker with my product. There are no downsides. By purchasing and using my scripts you will save time and energy and I find it difficult to believe that they will not manage to pay for themselves within minutes if not hours of play for the vast majority of users.

The only form of payment which I will accept is direct cash transfer on pokerstars. My id on pokerstars is sawseech (Scarborough).

To purchase my scripts please PM me here or you can contact me directly and also if you have any questions at chseesaw [at] hotmail (dot) com. Kindly inform me as to what it is that you want and how you would like for the package to be delivered (MSN or online file storage only), and I will prepare the package. When it is finished I will return your message and you may then initiate the cash transfer on pokerstars. Once I have received payment, I will either send you a link to the items requested with a password for the finished product or send it to you over messenger, as per your discretion. I will also provide minor technical assistance should you have any issues with the product.

The package will be sent in Rar compressed format, which is in my opinion the best file compression software available because it allows the user to create packages which maintain the recursive file structure of the package being prepared. To download WinRar, click here.

To use the product, simply unpack the package to your desired target location using the password that I have provided. Once unpacked, simply create a shortcut to the BetPot autohotkey file (BetPot-v0.2s.fixed.ahk) and place it on your desktop. Double click the shortcut, and the script will be in effect, assuming that you have Auto Hotkey installed. The reload script can simply be placed on your desktop and is enabled by double clicking it. If so desired, the entire package can be unzipped to your desktop and all functionality can be enabled by double clicking on BetPot-v0.2s.fixed.ahk and StarsAutoReloader-v0.2f_black.ahk. If you have purchased compiled binaries, simply double click on those and/or create shortcuts as described.

GL at the tables.

- William Ium

Hey, I have been thinking about buying a CR account, but being a low stakes player in college, I can't just throw down 130 to check out a site.

So I was wondering if there was anyone out there willing to let me borrow their account for a few days to a week if I ship them some money on FTP or something. I have been around for a while, and have a few people to vouch for me if you really need confirmation that I'm not some scammer asshole

Really wanna check out myth's vids the most tbh. Old Townsend vids sounded really interesting to me as well.
