Im sorry I received news that my grandma has late stage colon cancer which has metastasized to her lungs and liver. She does not have much time and I will stay by her side. I will most likely not be able to play WCOOP due to stress, time spent at her bedside.
I have shipped all the money back, im sorry for causing a rukus.
So I actually decide to put in volume for once in my life two tabling NL5 rush, and get knocked down. I came back eventually, and patted myself on the back and took a shower. When I came back, I decided to go at it again, only to get knocked down again.
the way that it feels to play against meby sawseech, September 07
suffocating
pressured
scary
paranoid
peeing oneself
a dark cloud
the sense of being in the presence of power
a strong computer
an immovable will
a good person who likes you and wants your money and that's it
attacks with no shape, no form, no pattern
the sense that you are facing an immensely disciplined force of nature
I've had several trades here and at 2p2 and can provide references for those trades. I can do any increments or w/e you prefer. If you're not a respected member nor have a good established trade history, you'll definitely being sending 1st.
My plan is to move $ to FT, work comfortably toward my bonus, then move all $ back to PS, so if you you happen to have a very large BR and are not necessarily needing to trade but can part with $300 for 20 days, that would be nice.
My 512MB Ram PC sucks ( Will buy new one when I will play NL100), so I need to purge some hands.
It will be also nice to have only hands after I quite my job from now on.
Pro Update
Its going well so far, and from the current progress is shouldn't be too hard to make the $20/day $600/month target at NL50 if I put in enough volumes, even without rakeback.
I had a rough longish session today, where I was cold decked for some 2 hours and didn't win a single pot, was forced to play some 17/15 and my red and overall lines bombed totally.
I still have remainings of the careless mentality where I call 4bets with K5s out of spite, and I will have to work on switching gears some more when I am not getting any hands (I have a tendency to play roughly the same amount of hands and tend to widen my range if I have a bad run of cards).
Still this is EZ life compared to the office and I can't imagine a downswing big enough to make me stressed like I was at peak times there.
I am taking a break for 3 days to write some 12k words report about my work, have a party on Friday and then I am back in the action.
P.S. STILL TAKING BETS AGAINST ME - $600/month without rakeback minimum target on average - FREE MONEY IF YOU LOOK AT MY WINRATE HISTORY - we can work out sth long term for 3-6 months if you wish. Skype LP-LemOn
This is my additional thank you for coaching me. It was a great session and I learned a lot. Hope to continue crushing and really appreciate your insight. The rest of you may now benefit from our coaching session; enjoy and plz vote
Crushing PLO lately, over last 20k+ hands and the first 5 days of this month. Running decent but at the same time im playing really well. I feel really good about my game, my post flop reads are always dead on and its so easy to manipulate the horrible players that populate these games. I really cant even name one reg that I worry about or even have to adapt to.
Played 14 hours straight - ended up down 130 playing 8/16...
about -9/hr playing 8/16
it was such a juicy table though so I couldn't tell myself to go even when I was ridicioulsy tired like I am now - [fuck i keep making spelling errors and shiii- need sleep]
Anyways near the end I was reading boards wrong and even my cards.
Note to self - never pull a 14 hour session on 4 hours of sleep.

Trying to own fixed limit fishby Artoo_Detoo, September 06
Hey all, I'm not sure where to post this since it's not really a question about just one hand, so I don't think it goes in the Low Stakes forums. But anyways, here's the deal.
I am a fish who enjoys very casual poker. I.e., I'm not trying to get a ton better at poker, nor do I want to make a lot of money. I just want to avoid losing money while beating down on bigger donks for fun. Maybe I'm twisted, but heck, I do like card games, and poker is a card game, but I'm not an intense kind of guy.
So what happened is, my good friend rgfdxm who owns poker in NL50 and NL100 but hasn't played recently, staked me with $10. I've made $35.58 so far for a bankroll of $45.58, which is basically nothing, but it's pretty relaxing fun since I don't have a lot of money on the line and I play against fish. I own $1.10 double or nothings since I can nit forever and let the fish duke it out, taking a big pot once in a while when they think shoving with Ax is awesome and I have JJ. I'm not good at these, I'm just good enough to own fish.
However, I am getting owned in $0.02/$0.04 Limit Hold'em. It's not even funny. For some reason, I have never been up in a single session. I've already given up trying to play microstakes 2-7 Triple Draw and Razz, my favorite and second favorite poker variations respectively, because either I'm underrolled or I get owned by the antes, but I should be fine for Limit Hold'em. Unfortunately, I can't tell if I am actually getting unlucky a lot, or just that I'm not playing well enough to win money.
A big problem is that I don't know what to do with bets when I should be ahead. If I get AK preflop, I am clearly capping that, but on the flop when I hit nothing and it's a 4-5 way flop (as always with these fish), do I cbet? I know what to do with a flush draw, but what if I am the one with top pair and there is a flush draw on the board? I can't bet the donks out because I can't control my bet sizes, and I feel that if I bet, I'm just value betting their draws.
Also, the fixed bet sizes mean I can't get a better read of their moves, which makes me scared a lot: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/854130
Here, I bet the flop and turn with top pair, but once the third heart hits the river, I'm afraid I'm being check raised. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/854134
Here, I cap the flop thinking I have the best hand, but once he leads the turn again, I'm not so sure and I think I'm running into two pair or a set. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/854374
Again, I put him on a possible straight draw with an 8.
Can someone who knows a little about fixed limit tell me some keys to play these hands differently from no limit? I don't want to spend too much time on poker, but I do want to get good enough such that I can finally own these limit fools. My biggest problem right now seems to be reverse implied odds situations.
Also, I feel like stats would really help, but I don't have a HUD at the moment, and I clearly don't play high enough stakes to warrant buying one like Pokertracker. I don't want to get the trial version of HUDs since that would just make me feel even more naked after the trial is over. I used to use Realtime HUD but that seems to have died. Is there a crappy but someone decent HUD out there I can use?
