Big ups to Gitm.Ace

So I am barely playing any poker these days and decided that I'll play tournaments instead of cash games because with the miniature volume of hands I'm putting in there's no way I'll make any money from cash games, but if I can win a big tournament I'm in business. Better value for the time I put in since I've been playing usually 1-3 tables and only 1-2 times a week.

Was only playing big massive MTT tournaments and kept making it into the money but busting out in the top 50 or so of thousands of people. So I decided to try some smaller SNG's and played 4 last night, won 1 and got 2nd in another. Fun stuff.

I've also completely changed my playing style compared to what it used to be. Since I'm playing less tables I'm much more focused on playing by feel than by preconveived rules, and I'm going with my gut to make reads which have been right about 95% of the time so far. Made some huge bluffs and huge calls. I think this strategy is so ideal for tournaments cause I'd usually float through a tourney around avg stack size and try to go harrington style of being an overall nit. But the problem was that once I got deep and the blinds were up it was always hard to keep my stack solid cause I wasn't making enough moves and didn't have a stack that could take much risk. this new strat had my stack fluctuating all over the place but in the long run it would grow. Pretty awesome.

Anyway it was a lot of fun. Just felt like ranting a bit about it =)

i moved house friday to be with an internet friend, we got drunk watching purepwnage then went out.... cant remember A N Y T H I N G that happened but

1) a flatmate said he went out for cigarettes and found us crawling around on the floor for 20 minutes in the street at 4am

2) i woke up with a broken foot

god fucking DAMNIT. you have no fucking idea what agony this is. CONSTANT fucking pain. i cant walk....i cant do fucking anything.

we just got back from a clinic where they gave me crutches but it takes me 10 minutes to get up the 2 flights of stairs in the apartment and i almost have a heart attack at the exertion.

i cant go to the shop coz i cant hold anything. im gonna try to do some laundry but iono how. i cant even bring a glass of water to my room.

im supposed to be getting a job and shit asap. this is so fucking terrible, i can only imagine how pissed off the flatmates/owners feel about having to deal with a cripple in their house.

before i got the crutches i had to crawl to get to the bathroom, how fucking bad is that.

dont drink

Poker = One vs the rest of the world
Why discuss your game plan with the enemy?

dropped down to NL 5 at beginning of May to learn how to tighten up and grow some discipline. Ran way above EV the past 10 days but at least EV is still about 7 BI. Overrolled and moving back to NL 10 tomorrow with a clear head.

I've been unhappy with my lifestyle as of late and I heard a lot of good things about this workout from some friends who are all about fitness so I figured I would give it shot. Some background, I've been a lazy ass doing virtually nothing for about a year now so naturally this was probably the best idea ever.......fml. So I popped in the fitness test disc just to see where I'm at, try and get a feel for how bad of an idea this actually was. Well Shaun T answered my question very quickly for me, it was an extremely bad idea. I made it through the warm-up and 4 exercises of the fitness test before I keeled over in an effort to die. To an avail, I was to exhausted to actually die. I've come to the conclusion that I won't be starting the actual workout for a couple weeks while I attempt to do these on a daily basis until I can atleast remain on my feet for the entire fit test. Maybe I'll get my fiancee to take some pictures of me getting the Shaun T express bending me over for your entertainment. More to come.....

Game 3 Orlando @ Boston

Not sure what i want to happen. It would be cool if Orlando could win a game or 2 to tie the series and make it interesting again. But if they then lost I would prob be pretty upset. If Orlando loses tonight the series is over and there is no drawn out emotional heart crushing.
Herm, just had a random thought, who the hell is the celtics back up pg? i feel like rajon rondo never takes a break. i don't think ive seen nate play once.


poker wise i mixed in a table of nl 200 with my normal nl100 session and was really surprised that it was easier to beat than nl100. it's alot less randomly aggressive than nl100 which made it much easier. also everyone plays super nitty and it's really easy to run over them imo. i am no where close to good but holy shit it is fucking revitalizing to see for myself how bad everyone is @ nl 200 and nl 100. there has been so many people over the past few years who are much more talented than me give up or stop playing poker and have nearly convinced me as well to quit. but i'm looking at these tables and it still seems very easy. i guess fish used to chip dump back in the day. dusty was right, everyone is bad, no everyone is fucking bad, and therefore i will keep playing. i am no longer facing giants.

Going to a masquerade dressed as "The Dude". Going to try to fit everything conceivably funny from wikiquote into conversation one way or another:

* I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That or His Dudeness... Duder... or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing.

* Well, sir, it's this rug I have. It really tied the room together.

* You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind limber.

* The Dude abides.

* Careful, man, there's a beverage here!

* This is a bummer man! It's uh...it's a bummer.

* Obviously, you're not a golfer.

* Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

* Walter, this isn't someone whose grandfather built the railways!

More ideas? (gotta have them within 40 min or so)

Previously i had a standard office chair, but this was fairly uncomfortable and my dad had a Herman Miller Aeron in the room next door to my bedroom so i kept stealing that for my poker sessions. I finally decided that i needed to buy myself a nice chair as an investment for poker. I did some pretty extensive research and it seems the Embody (The supposed Successor to the Aeron) is the most well thought out and designed chair.

Was difficult to find anywhere selling them in the UK, and even when i did i had to wait 8 weeks to have it shipped in from america. It finally arrived yesterday and already i can tell its going to be worth it. The chair is very comfortable but more importantly it "forces" you into a good sitting position. Im currently sitting completely upright with good posture and its not remotely uncomfortable, its more comfortable to sit like this than slouch even. Considering it comes with a 12 year warranty the price tag really doesnt feel that steep anymore. I think without all the extras u cud prolly get one for like $1200 or something.

The fact that the chair itself looks awesome is an added bonus!

Couple quick pics:

Anyone considering a new chair id honestly advise splashing a few extra buyin's and getting an embody, especially if you are a professional grinder.

Started NLHE about 5 months ago. Before that had never played a single hand of holdem.

Here's the results. Did well at the beginning mostly because I was on vacation and not working so was easier concentrate.
Think I'm back to winning again.

My crappy red line is standard for NL5/NL10?

So I lost basically all of winnings I made in my past 2 live sessions. Im learning, so I can't really complain.

Anyway, a question I had is...Are any of you able to range limpers in a $1-$2 NL Live Game?
