So my debit card expired and they had said they would send me a new one. I call to enquire why it wasn't here yet as promised and the idiots put the address in wrong despite my specifically stressing how important it is and repeating the address at least once.

Now, I need cash in hand here in london. I need 3k pounds so I can pay my rent in the next few days. My landlord is the worst and has already scammed me of like 2k+ pounds and I'm pretty sure if I don't pay by the day that is needed they will insta barge in and kick me out. I'm not sure what the deadline is but I at least have till the 7th.

I will go to meet anyone anywhere if they have a good reputation but otherwise I am happy to go to people's neighbourhoods and meet up in public places to make the transaction. I will pay 150$ for your time. If I get a few people who can dish out 1k pounds that would work too. Call me asap 07742 853 152

Currently playing NL25/NL50. Am a small winner on both stakes, but I'm not really feeling confident, especially since I cant seem to win recently, i'm just break-evenish.

I am fed up with my half-ass approach on poker and I want to give it a last shot, I think a coach could be very beneficial for me. I usually learn really fast, so I think I would be a good pupil.

My short term goal would be to really beat NL50 for a decent winrate, my "long-term" goal would be to beat NL100-200. So you should be a winner on at least NL100. I'm playing 6max btw, but if you are a great FR player I'd also be willing to learn it.


Can't pay that much, dont have the biggest BR atm. Also, I'm willing to make other deals, profit sharing etc.


Contact me in here if you are interested. Please also show me graphs etc. , proof that you are a solid winner .


yeeeeey thats it

Cashed in the $50 10k yearly VPP Stellar Rewards thingy. Roll is at $547 now. 1424 VPP so far for August, which technically puts me way behind pace for Supernova, but I'm still well ahead of pace for making Platinum, and I know my point accumulation will accelerate as I move up, since I'll be able to earn more than I cash out. Leaving my FPP bonuses uncashed for now. Using the potential Supernova bonuses as a motivator. Haven't yet decided when to move up to $15+1. In the past I've generally moved up when I have $400, which is very aggressive, since if I lose I can always drop down and get it back in a couple days. I'm thinking about being super-disciplined and waiting until I reach $1k, which should be within a week. Also reduced my tables from 27 to 24. I can just barely do in the 27-30 range, but it's incredibly harrowing. 24 lets me relax enough that I can keep it going all day without feeling like I've been jumped in a back alley after every set.

Refined (tightened) shoving ranges, particularly in the hijack seat and when there are no antes. Experimented with some different bubble ideas. Overall I'm feeling very good and I think I've recently made a significant jump of improvement in my ability.

General notes: Bubble theory favors shoves as big stack when the stacks are progressively larger behind you (e.g. 8k, 1k, 2k, 2.5k). Theory favors raging aggression with four equal stacks (3-3.5k apiece). Theory frowns on aggression with a large stack and against three near-equal small but not micro stacks, or if they are progressively *smaller* behind you.

Edit: girlfriend is staying at her parents tonight, woohoo! So maybe I'll get in 24 or 48 or more, but first I need to unwind with a few episodes of Weeds.

P.S. Prop 8 meets the equal protection clause; Prop 8 loses. Go go civil rights! Bigots can suck it!

Took actuarial test exam P, probability, today. Needless to say I failed that shit. Why does it have to be so balls hard? Guess I'll try again in November. Just gotta keep practicing and hope it becomes easier the 2nd time around.

Skip to the hand they discuss @ 43:00

When they discuss the preflop action,with the SB potting, BB calling, and the MP guy re-potting, notice the way Rast and Gipson are quickly able to follow the action in terms of the size of the raises, the size of the pot...things like that. Gipson goes to say something like "When I was counting the money in my head," which was interesting to me since he supposedly has a successful background in advantage betting. I would imagine this background helps with this sort of thing.

I have been learning about Stack-to-Pot ratios lately. I believe its a pretty powerful technique. But following the size of the pot quickly is something I need to master to utilize it fully. I read that learning how to advantage bet involves a lot of practice. Similarly I'd like to practice how to follow the pot.

So, I'm looking for people to exchange some ideas on this with. (Pros/Cons of various methods, any specific techniques that might be useful, numbers to remember, things like that)

Send me a PM if you are interested.

Or, if any strong players think this is a waste of time, you can just tell me about it in my blog.

I had an interesting session today. I have never been down this many buyins in one session but I decided that I was not going to put a stoploss and see if I could handle the swing of spewing too much and losing hands that was in my favor.

And now some hands for your entertainment

This was vs a guy that was just spewing around with about anything.

I need to make $1000 in the next 8 days in poker somehow.

Sigh. Why did I take shots at nl100 when in 2 weeks I had a deadline for a certain earnings..

I don't know what to think



I think I beat nl50.. just vulnerable to tilt when I rape my own bankroll.. running sick bad the past 10k hands but I wouldn't of lost as much if I hadn't been looking at such a small bankroll.. idk.. fml forever, success at anything forever eludes me

This graph is supposed to show how I accumulated $2500+ from poker in the period of May13th - August 13th

Herro there.

I decided to read up on the Blueprint by Slowhabit and got some inspiration to try out 6max again. I always felt misplaced because of the aggression compared to full ring and especially since I mostly play SNGS. I am not saying that this book is the bible or anything but in my opinion it does have some interesting tips.

One of the advices I got was to take a shot at the higher stakes. I started out at NL2 and felt that I really could be a winner and decided to go for NL5 with a 100$ BR which gives me 20BI (not really risk taking but I do not with to bust out, especially since this is my third deposit). At the moment I am 18/100bb plus rake(can not fucking believe that I played without rake before =D) over a very small sample 1600 hands according to HEM, but to me it is quite a lot since I only play four tables and about 1-2h per day.

The real purpose with my post is to show my graph, which leads to the blog title, how to play like a retard and spew away buyins!
