New computer! by superfashion, May 17


A while back I posted that I was building a new PC for SC2 and poker...aside from a few minor pieces, I have everything ordered and am beyond psyched to get it running.

CPU: Intel i5 750
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product...5&cm_re=i5_750-_-19-115-215-_-Product

Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E

Monitor: Asus 23"

RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB

GFX: FX HD-583X-ZNFV Radeon HD 5830

HD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533

So yeah, I'm getting that together as quickly as I can. Obviously I need a DVD drive and a few other things, but it's getting pretty close.

Poker has been going pretty well for me. +~6 bi's playing NL200 at a charity thing by my house over the past couple weeks (roughly 3 sessions, they only have it in the area once a week and I couldn't play one time). Online my bankroll has been up and down, but I've been pretty good about going down in limits and grinding my way back when I'm on a downswing. Hopefully by June I can be playing NL25 full time, and I hope to get Goldstar status this month.

Here's a picture of Leeann Tweeden to thank you for reading:

Never playing on vacation ever again! by PanoRaMa, May 17


I'm on a cruise boat throughout Scandinavia. Internet costs a ridiculous fuckton, 175 dollars/500 minutes at the most +EV rate, and I've bought this package 3 times already so I've spent over half a grand on shitty satellite internet. I justified this by saying well I can easily make that $ back playing poker, and this is what happens. Can't really stop running into just ridiculous bullshit, i don't know. A big FU to all of those who run amazing every time they take a shot at high stakes >=/ (at least until iii start running hot).

Lets try to win cash, yay by Carreira, May 17


Hi there, kind of my first post here in lp.. gonna introduce myself.

I play poker around a year and a half.. basicly began on stars playing retarded sngs and then started live MTTs on casinos of my country (i live in Lima-Peru so excuse me if my latino fucked up english sucks).. after winning some decent money i decided to play cash tables and got a deal with the guy who introduced me to online poker.. bongky.

Right now im a "decent" (as if not bad but not too good either) reg playing nl20 6max on ipoker. Used to play FR but due to friends advice and the desire of stop being a rbnitpro i switched to 6max (About 3 months ago).

Started 6max with $800 on february and went down on the learning process to $600. After feeling like a piece of trash i got some coaching from bongks and saw a couple of poker vids (basicly Verneer's cardrunners vids).. they helped me, A LOT.

Kind of felt nice when i changed from this (march) to this (april). My red line sucks a lot but im happy i kind of stopped it from going straight down to kind of down, rofl.

This is how im doing on may so far:

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7039/may2n.jpg

Decent winrate i guess.. the only problem is that during may i realized i had 1.5k roll so i went like "omg time to nl50 yay"... and got crushed on 700 hands losing like 6 buyins running really bad and of course playing bad because of that (scary new limit, bawww).

Now 6 buyins aint that bad.. but then you consider that 6 nl50 buyins = 15 nl20 buyins.. ouch.

Not that bad tho.. i feel so confident everytime i sit at nl20 tables that i end up winning 4-5bis like its nothing.. so during this week i recovered all my nl50 losses on nl20.. im back now at 1.5k.

Now, do you think i should do anything special b4 doing my 2nd shot?.. i mean, i know you all pros are like "omg its fuckin micros play ABC poker and thats it you newfag" but it doesnt look like that when i join the tables. Nl20 is so freaking passive i play 22/20 sometimes reaching 25/23 and i crush everyone.. 3bet around 6 all the time.. but when i play on nl50 i get 3bets and 4bets all the time i try to get control of the table and that makes me reach a tilt point.

basicly:

nl20 = easy 3bets from me = a lot of small pots = profit

nl50 = easy 3bets from me = lots of 4bets from other players = losing small pots a lot = tilt = not profit.

Im thinking of starting nl50 playing more TAG than usual and kind of 19/17 or something like that.. at least thats what bongky told me it would be a good plan so.. i guess ill try it.

oh, btw ipoker just slapped me and called me a "shark".. making my rb smaller than it used to be.. booo.

May/Europe/graph by Eluflop, May 17


Sup yall,
So due to me going back to Europe on may 23rd from CA, I have put 400nl shot on hold for a while. I focused on school and now the past 8 days on 200nl. I have played very solid, about 2-3 sessions a day each roughly about 2-3 hours long. So first i was down about 8 bi or so, played kind of recklessly, wasn't much ''in the game'', just grinded. Obviously at some point i understood that i was playing like shit and got my shit together. So i have had a rollercoaster graf that kept moving upwards slowly. It looks like i have dag myself out of the hole for now. I have rose up about 18 buyins, so it looks like this month should come green hopefully. However i will not be able to Grind much 23-31 may bc im going to be in London for 3-4 days and in Paris, hopefully can go check out French Open. Then return back to my humble small home country called Estonia ( yeah where the EPT kicks off in August) after being abroad in CA for 9 months. I sincerely hope that the Volcano in Iceland is not going to affect my flights in any way.
Also bought a cool thing a few days ago: tataratatataaaaaa the waterproof camera. The thing is absolutely awesome. Im already looking to go snorkeling or scubadiving to Turkey or around the mediterrian sea in July. Gonna be an awesome trip w gf and friends. Here is a pic of it:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/219c20140ebc578caf921466386b748f.jpg

But right now im moar pumped about going to London and France !

Nevertheless since im still playing w out HEM, I will go ahead and upload my graph here:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/a30c8df78af4fa77fd60c554b774d5df.jpg

Oh and I also really like what Dusty said in his video that playing better guys will make you better. That's good man.

So lets all step it up and get dat green !

Very Good Article Online poker by Highcard, May 17




Federal prosecutors are again indicating they mean business in going after the online poker business. Their strategy is focused on the industry's payment processors, the folks who move the money among players, banks and poker companies.

The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan struck a big blow on Tuesday by getting Douglas Rennick, 35, a Canadian payment processor, to show up in New York and plead guilty to violating the Wire Act by processing more than US$350-million in the U.S. for Internet poker companies and other online gaming firms.


The plea deal hits the biggest online poker companies offering U.S. play, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. Rennick agreed to forfeit US$583-million, funds that partly belonged to players of those and other companies. PokerStars and Full Tilt reimbursed the players after federal prosecutors froze funds handled by Rennick in June 2009.

Rennick faces 12 months in prison and is slated to be sentenced in September. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan declined to comment on whether Rennick is cooperating with any ongoing investigation. Rennick's plea agreement only says it is conditional on "subsequent conduct prior to the imposition of sentence." The question is whether Rennick's plea deal is part of a prosecutorial strategy that is going after only payment processors, or the online poker companies as well.

As Forbes pointed out in February, the owners and operators of the biggest online poker firms are an open secret -- and many of them can be found regularly playing poker in Las Vegas or promoting their companies at U.S. events shown on television.

The U.S. online poker industry services 2.5 million Americans who play and bet US$30-billion annually. Since PartyGaming exited the U.S. online poker market, it has been dominated by PokerStars and Full Tilt, a company associated with famous poker players like Howard Lederer and Christopher Ferguson.

The online poker firms take the position that online poker does not violate any U.S. laws, but the Justice Department has consistently said that facilitating for-money online poker is illegal. Speculation that the Obama administration's Justice Department would not pursue online poker cases as aggressively as was the case during the Bush administration appears to be receding.

Still, U.S. law is vague enough on the issue of online poker that the Justice Department has appeared reluctant to confront online poker firms directly and in court. Federal prosecutors have been much more comfortable going after payment processors. In April Daniel Tzvetkoff, the Australian owner of another payment processor used by online gaming firms, was arrested in Las Vegas and charged by federal prosecutors of bank fraud and money laundering.

Rennick's legal problems began last June when the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan froze US$34-million owed to at least 14,000 players from companies that processed payments for poker games hosted by Full Tilt and PokerStars, which both reimbursed its players. The companies targeted in the seizures included Rennick's Account Services Corporation, which had US$16.3 million in an account at Wells Fargo frozen. Rennick tried to contest the seizures in federal court in San Diego with the support of the Poker Players Alliance, a Washington, D.C., lobbying group whose chairman is Alfonse D'Amato, but Rennick was indicted by federal prosecutors shortly afterwards. Rennick is forfeiting the frozen funds as part of his plea deal.

Still Working on Aggressive-Style by hiems, May 17


Its really a Work-In-Progress. I do however, see tremendous potential in the style.

http://img168.imageshack.us/i/anothercrapsession.png/

I make some mistakes in spots that cost me alot of money. Most of my losses are from stuff that I feel like if I work hard I can get away from my mistakes. The style really gets you in a bunch of close spots, and to be able to play it I have to hand-read effectively enough to get away from them. Its a really fun way to play I think and I hope to be able to use it profitably [Against the right opponents]. Of course, I would also need to have TAG in my skill-sets as well and just use whatever works at the time.

Anyway...Here are some hands I wanted some help with. If you were at the table, what kinda insight would the mentioned hands give you about how the player plays? How would you adjust? (Theres Some Information Regarding Each Hand way at the Bottom. Its not much but Its probably better to read it before or while lookinga t the hands).

A side Question I have was When you are Thinking about Preflop Ranges, How do you group the Broadways so its organized? Like when people Say JT+ or KJ+ I confuse myself into thinking it goes up by Jacks, Tens, or Connectors Ex Goes up by JT,JQ vs JT,QT,KT, vs JT,QJ,KQ. What do you guys use to organize this?

Fishing on ร…land by DustySwedeDude, May 16


So I went fishing with MasterofLaw and his dad this weekend. The fishing was fairly bad, the guide really great and the weather fine. The cottage we lived in might've been the worst damn thing I've ever lived in though. Keep in mind that this comes from someone who've shared a 4*5m building with no electricity or running water with 3 other guys for a week without feeling annoyed or complaining before.

First of all. There's something seriously fucked about a kitchen with ~10 different kind of knives and not one damn spoon or fork. It was also generally dirty and a lot of stuff looked fairly suspect. The "gubbjรคvel" ("damned old guy") we rented it of told us to make sure to get a fire going all night to get rid of the moisture since we were the first guest for the season. So we light the fire, we don't think much about it until MoL decides to look at it before he goes to bed and notice that there's more flammable objects hidden behind the fireplace then in a fucking crack factory. Fairly sure we'd burned to death if he hadn't moved all the crap.

The house was big though so we got a room each. I laid down to read a bit, annoyed that the damn bed was to short for me (I'm 184 cm and my feet were outside the bed ) when I heard MoL scream something and then come knock on my door. I was like "oum.. what?" and he goes of on the longest rants I've ever heard about how much his bed sucks since he found some small insects. He went on about how he food pee-stains on the bed, how the thing was probably from the Interwar period and went to sleep on the floor. I found this absolutely hilarious until something bit me on my shoulder. I did, however, decide that I was to tired to care about anything smaller then a fairly big snake so I went to sleep anyway.

To tired to write about the rest of the crap that happened but needless to say the trip was a lot of fun but not very productive at all.
