i've seen ppl use flop/turn/river aggression but i have no idea what these numbers mean because i don't know where tehy stand relative. likewise i have the c/r flop frequency but i don't know what a flagrant number consists of.
Decided to take a minbuy shot of $100 at live 1/2 today after doing well playing shallow tables on FTP. I seem to play a lot better when im risking less and freerolling profits so I wanted to see how it would translate over to live. Played for 8 hours starting with $100 buyin, grinded it up to $400, catch an OESFD, board pairs and I miss, so I ship river on a bluff and get check/called by a boat lolz.
Drop to $200, get AA, ship a 4way flop on KJ4cc after 2 people donk into me, GET FOUR CALLERS LOL, thats right an $800 pot, and some guy scoops the whole thing with A2cc on the river. Dont even know what the other guys had. GG.
And wtf is this; Some nit makes an uncharacteristic $22 preflop raise UTG, everyone folds, and the SB ships $140 and flips up 88 after UTG folds, and says "i had to protect my hand". And UTG raiser like never raises. He looked pretty pissed that he folded but whatever, random.
I was very pleased with my live performance as usual, and hope to take more shots again soon. After reading some guys blog on 2p2 who played homegames and ran up a 30k roll and then moved to vegas and now plays 2/5 for a living I have some newfound motivation. For starters I will never again take my live earnings and donate them online. Once I have built a live roll I will probably try to play live exclusively. Besides I need to get in the habit of driving around and sitting in a chair for hours if this is what I intend to do. It's also a super sweet spot for me since I'm just outclasses at NL400+, but am right in my comfort zone at NL200 and it's live counterpart, which means I'm also comfortable with playing 2/5 live..... probably... maybe even 5/10, no idea what kind of people play that though.
Ultimately I dont feel buying in half stacked helped me any this time. Maybe online it does b/c I'm just so jaded playing micro stakes, but I dont see myself making any big screwups live where a deep stack is -EV for me. Anyway only note for tonight is to just bluff less lol. At least when it comes down to these monsterous allin bluffs. I dont mind raising some $15 donkbet to $50 or some shit, but it ends there.
I don't consider myself to be an expert on Marijuana or the politics behind why it was illegal, but I've always felt like I know more than the average person. I know it has medical benefits, I know hemp is useful, I know that the government says it's a gateway drug and that's why it must be destroyed. I felt like I knew a bit of the depth of the issue.
This movie just made me blatantly aware of how ignorant I am about the truly amazing qualities of Marijuana, and the sick and twisted politics behind why it is illegal. I've definitely found a cause for activism that I will be involved in until Marijuana is legalized and all of it's potential is tapped for the good of all the people on this planet.
This is a MUST SEE MOVIE. It's on instant view on Netflix, so if you have an account then go search it out and watch it. You will be surprised how much you do not know. It's also on youtube but the quality is pretty crap, though that's not too important.

Real Job Life - Biggest gig yetby Chewits, June 06
Been so busy with my job. 18 hour days 5 days on the trot, is seriously tiring lol.
Anyway was Stage Tech for the biggest outdoor gig in Northern Ireland ever yesterday for Snow Patrol. The company I work for supplied all the PA for main stage and second stage, all the gear for support bands and lots of other various stuff needed at outdoor festival gigs. It was biggest gig I done now, we had a crowd of 40,000. Was pretty awesome experience. Was nice working with all the Snow Patrol techs and really great experience, that sets me up nicely for the summer festivals.
Being so busy, I really do not get that many pics lol. Got some random ones on my iphone though.
More geekyness - Back of Video Screen and the main PA Stage Left Hang
Poker wise, quit stars as i blew loads of my roll no MTTs that I was not rolled for. Changed to a new site, and I am grinding cash games only, and it is going decent. Hopefully play good volume this week, as I am doing a conference thing all week, so should have good bit of spare time to play
As some of you may know i went busto from this blog. Ive even typed up my poker summary as a poem.
After going busto i quit poker. And since i have finished my university degree in Electrical Engineering and had no job and no income I went on the dole while looking for a job.
Now I have finally found the job and have been working for 2 weeks! At NOVORAIL alliance. Which in Australia is 4 companies working together to re-energize Sydney's railway network. Seems like a really sweet job so far. The only things ive been doing however is reading up theory and jsut taking orders from my boss here and there. But hopefully I will start doing some real stuff soon.
The job includes making substations and overhead lines for the trains. So it involves working with 66kV AC overhead lines and 1.5kV rail wires. So its really dangerous and the company is very strict on safety.
I had to do a medical test where they check you for drugs and all that sort of stuff. So naturally i was shitting my pants cos ive smoked some MJ like 3 weeks before the test. This is why I havnt posted this blog earlier. Cos i wanted to make sure they are not gonna find something and fire me. So now that my medical has come back and ive passed I cant really smoke anymore(they do random checks now and then) and I dont really want to either.
So yeah jsut wanted to share it.
Also as you might have also noticed ive been only posting girls in my blog and funny stuff in the rofl thread and other random posts here and there cos im still part of the community eventhough i dont play poker.
Also a question:
Should I live 1hr away form my job with my parents and dont pay rent. And save up for a nice car or should I rent some place in the city, close to work so that I dont have to get a car?
TLDR: I quit poker and got electrical engineering job that pays well.
Hey there, long time no see again! Just over a year ago I tried to make a 50c/$1 6max video for this site, and after a couple of attempts, bad content, tilt and silly plays in the video which I did not really want to show resulted in fail. With that fail, pokertableratings.com reported me as -$150 or so in 800 hands, me being OCD and all, I endeavored to fix that red report and make it green with a winrate of at least 2BB/100, I think any lower than that is a pretty bad winrate particularly for myself and particularly at a stake which is so far below where I used to play regularly. After over 100k hands, months on and off of playing those stupid stakes I've finally attained a winrate of 2.02BB/100 on pokertableratings. I can officially stop playing there now which is a huge relief for me.
I withdrew about $50k late Feb/Early March, leaving myself with just $250 intending to quit playing for a while and just robusto a bankroll whenever I restarted playing. Just 2 days after leaving myself with $250, I went ahead and started playing again, after experiencing some wild swings early on which put me up to 1.2k and then dropping to ~$20, almost bustoing a "bankroll" for the first time in my life in the process, I've managed to work it back up playing a mix of micro stakes. The results culminated in ~$2.5k profit, and attaining the aforementioned 2.02BB/100 winrate on 50c/$1 according to pokertableratings.com.
Another finally is that this is probably the start of my run at PLO. Although I'm gonna be starting at low stakes again, mainly because I don't know the game very well at all, and because I don't have a huge amount of money online anyway, I do expect to move up through the stakes fairly rapidly and improve quickly. I think long term, learning other games is extremely necessary to maximise potential winnings and I should've done this long ago. No doubt, if it wasn't for my OCD tendencies with regards to making my stats look relatively pretty I would've done so, but alas, better late than never.
A huge help, when I get around to it, is that I'm going to attempt to sell my WoW account and never play the game again. I don't regret playing the game, and to be honest I still find it kinda fun, but it's too much of a time sink and I need to focus on poker as I've severely underachieved/underplayed the last 1.5-2 years or so. Hopefully I'll get a few buyins for the account and pad the roll I have left in Stars account a little too.
Goals from here on out are to move up through the PLO ladder, hopefully getting to a point where I can win at PLO400 or so for a reasonable winrate, rebuild my bankroll so I can then play a mix of 400PLO, 600NLHE, 1kNLHE for the rest of the year. Hopefully, without WoW, and without 50c/$1 winrates holding me back, I can get to where I should be again, and sort myself out.
I'm kinda dating this chick for the past month, and i decide to invite her as my date to a party last night. Well we talk about it all day and shes acting all excited and shit, then when i finally go to pick her up, as im like 5 minutes away from her house i get a call from her friend, whos like, "oh shes at my house, when are you gonna be here to take us to the party?". I say "... umm 5 minutes i guess...." then hang up. Now here im thinking, 'WTF why is her friend coming, and i kinda get instantly raged, i dont want a friend coming on a date wtf. Anyways, I get to her house and pick them up, and kinda just turn my music up the whole drive being silent and irritated. We get to the party and i kinda get out of my car, say "bring the cups" in kind of an asshole-ish way and go inside. So im in there chilling for like 5 minutes with my friends and some other girls and i notice that they didnt even come inside yet.
So i walk outside, and just by chance im walking out with this other girl, who just happened to be going out at the same time, so when i get out i notice my girl is really pissed off and quiet, and im asking her why they havent come in, and shes being all awkward and quiet, so i just kinda walk back inside, and am like whatever. So another 10 minutes go by and we need the cups so im like fuck i gotta go back out there... So i go out again and i ask her whats wrong. She basically tells me she thinks im really mad at her, and im just having fun with "that other girl".(who i just happened to exit the house at the same time as) So i end up kinda apologizing and saying im not mad at her, and basically defuse her anger and we make up, and i give her a piggy back ride inside.
So we start playing fuck the dealer, and ring of fire and all that shit, and everything is better now, me and her are getting drunk, vibing, being cool, you know. So after i while i realize this other guy keeps talking to her over and over. And im kinda getting annoyed by it, but i just ignore it, and kinda come cut him off, or just try to stay with my girl most of the time, but its a party so i gotta be roaming and entertaining the masses you know. So me and her keep hanging out, we both are pretty damn drunk, and shes getting in her, im almost gonna take my clothes off mood apparently. I'm kinda almost in drunken zombie mode, you kinda walk around, and just stare at people lol. It usually only lasts like 30min to an hour, but im sure u know what i mean. So anyways i notice she keeps disappearing all the time, mostly because her friend constantly brings her off to other rooms and bullshit. And i notice that almost eveyrtime i go look for him, its those 2 and that guy that kept trying to talk to her. So im getting a little more annoyed, and i end up kinda ignoring her the whole night, after telling her friend i was getting a little pissed off she kept ignoring me and they kept talking to this dude.
So anyways, we eventually leave and im basically stone the whole drive home, just ignoring everything, and just thinking about how im gonna handle this situation. So after like 20 minutes of complete silence, i drop off her friend, and i start to take my girl home. After like 5 minutes of more silence, shes like.. "why are you mad at me?" So i basically tell her, im frustrated because i invited her as my DATE, and she brought her friend, (im usually okay with a friend coming along, but not a fucking friend who pulls her off constantly and cant be alone). Then im basically telling her that i dont know whats going on between us, and im getting kinda annoyed that shes so "off and on" if you know what i mean. And i told her its so hard to find time to hang out with her, that its kinda stupid when she invites a friend. I dunno, i think im being reasonable. But anyways, she decides that she wants to spend the whole day tuesday with me to make up for it, so im like okay whatever we will see how this goes.
NOW, today i log on facebook, And i see on her facebook pages, shes not added friends with that guy from the party. And Their convo was something like this...
Guy- Whats crack a lackin lol?1
Girl- Hey not much, just recovering from last night lol
Guy- Haha we did get a litle wild haha
Guy- Well if you ever wanna hangout outside of a party let me know lol
Girl- Haha we did, i had a good time, message me your number!
So now, what is my course of action.. It really pisses me off because one of my best friends, BROUGHT this guy. So now i dont know how to deal with this.
TL:DR
girl trippin
guy hitting on her
she gives guy number
murder?
Sword-Wielding Porn Actor Dies After Falling Off Cby k2o4, June 06
What kinda crazy world is this becoming? This is a story I never imagined I'd hear about unless it was in a bad movie... maybe a bad porn movie.
UPDATE: The LA Times reports that Stephen Hill has died as a result of head injuries suffered from his roughly 50 ft. fall...Developing...
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A porn actor suspected of killing a colleague with a sword was taken into police custody Saturday after he fell some 40 feet from a rocky hillside from which he had been threatening to jump, officials said.
A "less lethal munition" was used against Stephen Clancy Hill just before his plummet, said police Officer Bruce Borihanh, who had no other details about the weapon that was used.
SWAT officers spent part of Saturday afternoon trying to talk Hill down from the outcropping as he clutched a sword.
It was unknown whether the sword was the murder weapon in Tuesday's deadly attack at a DVD production center that also left two people injured.
Hill fled to the Chatsworth neighborhood hillside after leaving a house where he was barricaded for most of Saturday.
Borihanh said Hill, 34, would be booked on murder and attempted murder charges after he was treated by paramedics. His condition was unknown.
Story continues below
The charges were filed against Hill Friday after Eric Jover, who runs the Ultima DVD production house, offered a $2,000 reward on the company's website for information leading to his arrest.
Hill attacked a colleague with a sword that was used as a film prop during a social gathering at the Ultima's studios about a week after being told he was being fired and that he would have to move out of the production facility, where he had been living, authorities said.
He then turned on two others who rushed to their co-worker's defense. One of those who attempted to help, Herbert Hin Wong, 30, was killed in the attack.
Hill, whose professional name is Steve Driver, fled in an SUV with the murder weapon, authorities said.
Ultima is located in the San Fernando Valley, known in the adult film industry as Porn Valley for its large number of porn businesses. The small company produces niche films featuring fetishes and sexual domination of men.
Hill was convicted of second-degree assault and a handgun charge in March 1999 in Maryland, according to court records.
First 1k I have made at poker since I started at NL10 with 60 dollars in January (technically October but I only played for like a week with $30 then quit when I lost lolol)
Pretty glad I stuck with poker. Not for financial aspects as I havent spent any of my poker money or anything, but for the enjoyment I have gotten out of it so far. Never would have thought before that poker had any sort of meta game or strategy to it. I thought it was the equivalent of a slot machine with playing cards O_O
TLDR version: /brag post and trying to justify it by saying poker is complex but fun
edit: adding graph from the past 1.5 weeks at NL25
Don't take this shit, it's not good for your health
Anyway, I've cash out all from Pokerstars, and need some info about
any site without tilting software, and soft games + rakeback
Any help appreciated Oh, I play nl10 / nl25
My last post was like half year ago, so many things have changed... nah, still the same shit.
As summer starts I'm going to post more often so stay tuned
