So, I think maybe I am playing too many tournaments with my games.
http://i28.tinypic.com/o03p0x.png
This is my graph for only 180 mans

http://i27.tinypic.com/o53j9t.png
This is everything for the month

I think I had some bad runs in both double or nothings and 45 mans to be completely honest, but I've lost about $1500 in MTT's as well. At least in DONs and 45 mans I have large enough samples from the past to know that I'm a winning player, so I guess my question is, should I be cutting MTTs completely out of my schedule soon, or is $1500 not really that much to lose for a month of them? I've gotten to the final 20ish players many many times, but never ship anything past 9th place. Can an experienced MTT player please comment?
Thanks LP

Fuck.

So which Euro site is the most juicy and has decent rakeback these days?




P.S. I just dug out my April graph which made me to take on dota in April - All NL100/NL50.

Scary shit indeed, and I crumbled under the pressure

In December I sent stars a raged email about some collusion in a DON that I happened to catch at the end of my session.
"Zhangshuen and yanwei are colluding in $10.40 double or nothings. Check
tournament ID: 221071541 on the bubble,
zhangshuen folds purposely to save yanwei on the bubble, and they are both
from the same location. I am about 99.9%
sure this is collusion since zhangshuen is a competent player and knows
what he is doing. Please check the hand
histories and other games for cheating of this sort."

Anyway, yesterday, along with SC2's release, I got this bit of run good

Hello David,

First allow me to apologize for the delay in responding to your report.
PokerStars clearly acknowledges that our investigation team has not
performed up to its own standard of excellence in handling this case. In
saying that, the accounts you reported were indeed frozen in a very timely
manner and as such no further harm to honest players was possible.

We have concluded that the play of 'yanwei' and 'zhangshuen' violated the
integrity of our games. They have been informed that they are no longer
welcome to play on our site. In addition they were disqualified from events
in which their unfair play affected the outcome. Players who advanced as a
result have been compensated appropriately.

You were involved in several tournaments with these players. For
tournaments where you would advance "in the money" if a player you reported
was disqualified above you, you have been credited with $20.00. If,
however, disqualifying players did not result in you advancing "in the
money", you have been credited with a refund for that tournament of $10.40.
The total amount credited to your account is $195.20.

The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us
and we will not abide unfair play in our games. We work hard to police our

So alot going on right now with my life. I am working sooo much at the moment in my audio engineering job. I am freelance now and it is brilliant. Being the summer, there is endless amount of work, and I am easily putting in 60-80 hour weeks. Money is decent, and I am really enjoying it, which is important! Also learning so much every day and gaining so much valuable experience. Very lucky to work for a top professional company that works with the very best engineers around.

Aside from that, me and the wife are looking to buy a house. Because I am freelance, and only started, it basically screws me over of any chance of getting a mortgage now. Instead all the banks require about 2 years of books. Therefore we are looking at a co-ownership scheme, so my wife would get the mortgage, and the government pays the other half, then couple years down line, when I have 2 years books, I can then buy out the rest of the mortgage. Thats the plan anyway. Going to view a few houses today and tomorrow. Really excited about one house which has been repossessed and is going for a ridiculously cheap price. It does need some work, ie new kitchen, bathroom and lots of paint. But I really am exited about that prospect of having my own house and doing all the things I want myself. Its quite motivating. Living in a rented house, you cannot do anything. There is no goals, like (this room needs decorating etc). Having your own house gives you more goals to strive too, and having goals is a good thing.

I also got a new macbook pro last week, which I desperately needed. I had no laptop for a very long time, and with the nature of my work, you really need a laptop. So I am in the process of sorting out alot of stuff in my house I do not need including old iMac and selling it off, to get some money back to pay off the laptop.

Apart from that, I have not touched Poker in a solid Month, if not more. I wish I could play, because I was winning at a good solid rate after changing sites, and was very much enjoying the game. But because my real life is so hectic, I just do not have the time to play with a focused mind. 28 hour days, then maybe Poker could fit in!

Highlight of the month - working at large festival in Ireland, was in dance arena, and I was doing Monitors (the mixes for the artists on stage) and we had dancers on stage. It was fucking awesome. Seriously hot chicks with next to nothing on, dancing around getting crowd going. I swear my mixing console had a lot of drool over it :D lol

Anyway cheers for reading, if you did

Soooo I'm pretty tired of being a huge loser in cash games online and have decided to turn around my PTR and get every limit out of the red. I clearly have leaks that I need to work to fix so I'll be studying more HHs and watching some videos online. No more following bad habits and telling myself I'm just perpetually running bad.

I'm very confident in my tourney game currently and a couple of scores have saved me from busto in the last month or two. Won the $22 6 max on Stars this week to accomplish that again.

I would play tournaments more but it's really difficult to find the time when I work odd hours 30-40 hours a week. Cash games are way more convenient time wise so I need to get some stuff straight. Here's to doing that.

... when you beat NL200 with a decent win-rate and a healthy roll and then you basically stop playing, make 10k hands a month with zero focus, lose money almost every month and withdraw regularly to make a living. Suddenly your roll drops down, but what the hell. You still got plenty of cash, so you continue to slack and cash-out and drink heavily at the dorm and at home, not concentrating on what's important in life.

And then, after two fucking years you realize that your life is a mess. So you say: 'OK, I fucked up a lot, but from now on things are going to run better. I'm a new man'. And so you try to change change... But life ain't that easy.

You try to get a girlfriend. Given the fact that you pretty much have no clue how to get one, as you've never had one, you fail.
You try to stop drinking. The problem is even though you don't have to drink once you pass a certain level of being drunk you pretty much stop controlling yourself, so again you pretty much fail.
'That's still OK', you say. 'I still have poker to cheer me up. From this day I'm going to grind quite a lot and hopefully get back where I've been some time ago'.

NL50 since the start of June:

Yea...

Anyway, some of you might think this a whine/emo post. It's not. I'm happy about myself right now, but there are certain periods of time when I recall what I've done for the past few years and what I am not happy about recently and I start feeling a bit frustrated. Thankfully, I have a few very good close friend who are always there to cheer me up, so I'm convinced that I'll achieve whatever goal I set for myself in the future.
The reason for this blog entry is to remind you guys to not take things for granted, because, god or no god, someone will fucking doomswitch you if you screw up like me :D.

Cheers.

+ Show Spoiler +

Had to cashout, didn't want to as I was eager to move up but w/e my game is really good now (for nl25 lulz) so gonna grind a shit ton next month and be properly rolled to move up again. Last month was really solid. It seems my redline isn't as gay as before which has me really happy since its always nice to have a bigger e-pennis .
