UPDATE 2: All sold out, thanks everyone!

UPDATE: Not getting into Vegas until the 27th so I've had to adjust my schedule. Only playing 3 events total now as opposed to 5. My updated, confirmed schedule is below. I've booked about 40% already and would like to sell another 10-20%, depending on interest.

PanoRaMa WSOP Schedule 2010 (updated!)

June 28th 12:00 Event #49: No-Limit Hold’em (3-day) 1500
July 2nd 5:00 Event #56: No-Limit Hold’em (3-day) 2500
July 5th/6th 12:00 Event #57: No-Limit Hold'em Championship 10000


Total BI: 14000

Hi everyone, I'm selling action on my WSOP schedule. I will only sell it in a bundle, meaning you have to buy as a % of my schedule (and total buy ins) and not pick and choose events. I'm selling at 1.1:1, which to my knowledge is slightly undercutting my value due to how soft these events are (note I'm not playing any of the more expensive tourneys that draw the better players). Here is a link to my OPR: http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/...72A9F1834667AFBB98919BF5C928.html?t=2

Some background information:
My notable cashes include placing 1st in the Fifty-fifty last year for 12k, 1st in a 23k KO gtd this year for 6k, and most recently I placed 65/4997 in FTOPS 28 in the few tournaments that I have played in recent times. Admittedly I haven't played many MTTs this year but will begin to in order to stay sharp. As far as live experience, I've placed first in a 2009 Macau Poker Cup charity event for roughly 5.5k, and have been a regular player of PokerStars Macau and PokerStars APPT tournaments beginning the middle of 2009.

Most of my expertise is in 6-max online games, where I am and have been a consistent winner. My PTR located here includes a rough detail of my results so far this year (note the dates on poker timeline). I have documented my results from the past 2 years throughout my blog so you can look through previous entries as well. I was also a regular columnist for Baller Magazine (www.ballermagazine.com) which is a print and online English magazine based in Asia, and have 6 published articles thus far.

I will be providing daily updates to my backers via e-mail (and further correspondence via aim and/or phone if wanted). The way it will work is you will pay me a % of my buy-ins (with a 10% markup, hence the 1.1:1), and I will pay you the appropriate % from my gross winnings. For example, if you buy 10% which is 1540 (14000 * .10 *1.1), and I win 20000 gross amt, I will pay you 2000 - I don't deduct anything.

If interested, please PM me or reply to this topic with your contact information and we will discuss more over AIM/MSN/or Skype. As a side note, I will be giving priority to those who buy more than 5% moreso than those who buy less than 5% (I'll probably cap it at around 40 to 60%, we'll see). Thanks!

cliffs:

-withdrew 10k roll
-left 800 online, lost 100 to laker bet game 2 (lol) to python
-playing sattys with my fpps now and selling tourney dollars to lp ( really shouldve done this years ago)
-wife giving birth to a boy soon (finally)
-beat: i got 3 kids now lol
-crushing 25nl donks is always nice to do
-moving up to 50nl after the nba games (but i bet 636usd on lakers to win and if i lose i cant move up this week) against python again
-not really concerned with poker lately, fact is - i crush both 25nl and 50nl, i breakeven at 100nl, ill just accept those for now and make as much money as possible with these conditions
-goal is to make 20k from today up to december and quit poker next year but still lurk at lp
by quittting i mean never moving up stakes i cant beat and just print money until the well dries up

Bleh, this month has been rough. And the past couple days I've just become overwhelmed with emotion so quickly I can't think straight for periods of time. Just trying to keep that shit away from the tables is taking a lot of strength, and I have faltered for a time and played some hands differently than I knew I ought to.

I feel weak, I am weak right now, idk.

pretty much all nl50

So I took shot #2 today at NL200 live. I flop an open ended straight flush draw and c/r some guy I've never played before allin for $400 and he covers. He had actually flopped the straight and asks if I want to make a deal. Normally I think deals are gay but I felt like being the nice guy and said sure, "run it twice? Pull back the bet and play for the pot?" And he says "no, i take the pot now plus $100 and you fold". To which I promptly said "wait wat? fuck that let it run, run it once, run it now!" and miss completely. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... Everyone started berating me telling me what a great deal that was, that I should have just forfeit the pot plus a cherry on top and keep my stack of $200 remaining. I'm like HELL NO thats a shitty deal! Im not gonna just pay him money for nothin on a draw and give up the hand, and they're all like "o rly?! thats good to know buddy, GOOD TO KNOW!"

I threw the hand in pokerstove and it came out a flip, so his deal was shit, at least considering I had already put in like 70BB's, and missing out on the chance to be sitting chip leader with 400+ BB's.

Im owning the 10s pretty hard. Made a bunch of adjustments after the first dip...I base most of my strategies against the player and I think thats basically the key to these things. Running like horse shit tho.

I'm not too sure when I should move up to the 20s. A friend of mine suggest 1100 (I should fucking be there already but what can you do...) Also, not too sure what is best for my long-term development. Playing these or sticking with 6-max cash. Any advice would be appreciated.

Also, any HU SnG players that want to discuss strategy lemme know.

Maybe.... I've actually been refunded for some HU SNG's on FTP whereby apparently I was playing a bot. This was a few months ago and I never reported it b/c we didnt play enough for it to really register on me, but FTP emailed me about it and gave me $15 or so which amounted to my losses in the session. I knew where it happened b/c I had only played some $1 HU sng's and remember some psycho just speed shipping hands at random and insta-rematching me until he just stopped all the sudden.

Well I just ran into exactly the same thing again today. Cept this time the guy hung around for 40 matches I think, namely because we were semi-breakeven. These were the $1 hu sng's again and the play was identical. This time I decided to actually email FTP about it because after last time I feel I knew what to look for. Below is my account of the issue;


1) Every one of his actions was too fast to be human. He would always instantly check, instantly fold, instantly shove allin, instantly raise, etc. Not even 1 second in delay between actions. I wouldnt even have my finger off the mouse button before he would have already made his next action. He was only playing 1 table vs me, so not table ninja or AHK actions signifying someone just playing fast.

2) At the rematch screen this particular player would often wait 5-10 seconds before choosing to rematch me. You can tell this by observing the rematch status under the player names, it says accepted or declined. However if I chose to rematch him before he chose to rematch me, he would instantly accept and the next game would start.

3) While it is hard to judge the quality of someones play, a lot of his betting patterns seemed to be scripted. I called a few of his random shoves out of curiosity once I became concerned he was a bot, and I saw completely random hands that made no sense. I know players can bet any way they choose, but combined with the above factors it seemed more like a series of triggers were prompting the bot to make these plays. And they werent always shoves. On occasion it would be like half pot, or a minbet, or whatever. The sheer randomness makes it seem more botlike than any human would do.

4) He made a few random comments such as he enjoyed playing vs me, smiley faces, "hehe" and "nh" auto comments, etc, which looked to be attempts to sound human. My chat is banned so I could not respond to verify.

5) After I started winning several sessions in a row he suddenly disappeared from the site.


I probably would have assumed this was just some maniac with the fastest hands in the world again, but after being refunded for cheating before I obviously have to give some credibility to the issue. Ultimately I'm more disappointed that I lost to AI than some maniac lol. I finished this little excercise - 6 BI's, which I guess aint that bad really. Plus several of those were some insane suckouts, like aipf with 23 vs my A3 and he runner runners a straight, or getting 2 outered 44 vs 88. When I suspected he was a bot I started open shipping a few hands on him like Qx and Kx and he snapped with stuff like 95o and J6o and Q2o, etc. But then OTHER times he'd actually fold. Really bizarre. I know that makes it the most poorly programmed bot in the world, but maybe there is some stupid shitty romanian bot software out there that fucks up the game when people use it and plays like this.

I need to set up a CCTV system and it's really expensive to buy whole systems which would be easy to set up. I'm thinking of getting the cameras and receiver and some funny card from hong kong on ebay which goes in a computer and a shit laptop and a 1tb external hard drive. Does this make any sense? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm a bit of a techno-noob, but I can pick things up very quick. Cheers. Free burgers to anyone who helps me!

This shit isn't right. I don't know what to do.

Also I wasn't paying attention and opened nl100 rush table instead of nl50, my first hand is JJ in the bb vs bober in the sb. I get it in pre vs his QQ.

After losing two buy ins to a set and a full house in 5nl rush I decided play some hands of rush 100 nl with 1,5 buy ins pretty stupid but exhilarating, sucked out on someone ok not that exciting wasn't full stacked still a good result for me haha

Submitted by :

Starting playing the 100NL 20-50bb games. These things are fkin awesome. Obviously not as fun at 100bb or deep poker since you cant get too creative when dealing with alot of shortstacks, but super profitable. Im running way below EV and still crushing. People are just BAD. Sort of swingy with SSers and stuff but so worth it imo. Plan on crushing this for a while.

Some fun hands from a short 500 hand session:

I CAN FEEL THE LIFETIME TILT APPROACHING AGAIN


Comments (9)       read entire blog

So finally after a couple months (wow already?) of poker I am finally starting to get into final tables for the 2.20$ tournaments quiet a bit recently.

My first week of poker I got lucky and won 40$ and thought I was the man (later lost that 2 days later and have sense stayed with tournaments way more fun ).

Made it into some final tables here and there won 9$ which isn't much but finally when I make it to the final table I am able to get in the top 3.

Yesterday Got into a final table 3 of us left I shoved an A/7 both spades and the guy called with 9/9. Unfortunately I did not get my ace nor flush (believe there was 2 spades though might be wrong ). I got my 7 but not enough so I ended up losing and was kind of annoyed with myself even though it was my first time and I did win 42$ (most I have won so far in any tournament). I feel I shouldn't have shoved but whatever thats in the past.

Today I made it into the final table (after literally going all game with low low chips). When we got to the last 18 I literally had 5k chips everyone seemed to have at least 20k. I ended up shoving with J/5 (blinds were big and couldn't wait any longer). Got lucky and won sweet I was now at 10k chips sweet but still way behind. Lost a hand and went back down, somehow got to 20k with 10 players left. Some guy named enterthelynx who has been calling me a donk/fish flaming me all game I ended up taking him out (AA he had J/5 rofl). That guy was a chip leader for a little bit then I beat him 2 hands in a row (JJ, then with AA taking him out). Both times he had a dumb hand so I don't know why he was so retarded flaming me and calling me a donk when he would call with the dumbest hands ever.

So final table 3 people left. I am chip leader. I shove with AK this guy shoves with 9K. He gets 2 9's I am now down to 5k chips. I somehow miraculously come back from that to 60k chips, ended up taking the third guy down which brought me to 60k while the chip leader had 220k.

Awesome I was happy to get 72$ no matter what. Kind of boring then I shove, he calls I win so now I have 220k chips he had like 100k. We both go all in me with J5 Diamonds him with 95 not suited. I got my Jack and 5 awesome I got this. The last card that flipped gave him a straight and so I ended up going down to 30k chips and lost from there .

But otherwise thought it was awesome I have made about 110$ or somewhere around there the past 2 days and I tend to be making it to the top 10 more and more which is awesome although I know its poker and I will go through phases right now I am just happy because with all the money I have put into poker stars all together (80$ all together I believe). I am up by 30$ (haven't been able to play too much in May due to school).
