Really havn't played much, up a lot due to running good/playing really well. Been playing much less omaha (bad action for some reason) and been crushing 5/10 and 10/20 NL instead.
BJJ is going good too. My conditioning sucks ass due to being a lazy poker player but my balance seems to be above average and I'm very limber for my size which helps a ton. In sparring I'm doing ok against most guys, but the ones that are in shape and/or has been doing some kind of grabbling before still have an edge, obviously. I did, however, superown this 30ish y/o 100 and something kilo guy by basically underrestimating his strenght, get pushed to the ground, do some kind of panic-mood-gaurd and then just triangle him. I think he kind of thought I had the same ability as him to actually reach anything with my legs (ie: non to speak of) and got caught of guard by my general awesomeness. Then I managed to do the same thing once again and later sweep -> armbar from mount him all within 3 minutes. It felt really good that stuff actually works.
In positional sparring (no submissions and when you get a dominant pos for 3 sec you just change so the other guy starts in that position) I managed to own my room mate which was really fun since he usually owns me. Then I did some regular sparring against some guy who seemed to be in much better shape then me. Got mount, figured I'd try to do that Aoki-thingy with a gogoplata from mount, obviously failed miserably and got swept. From then on I had some decent armbar attempt from the bottom but in the end he passed me, got my back and RNC'd me.
Was happy about it anyway since I learn stuff. Basically I think I need to do some running or whatever so that I actually get some conditioning going and then figure out wtf I'm supposed to do when I get sidemounted.
Weird thing is that despite actually making more then most people in Sweden does in a year in two weeks I'm still more excited for BJJ then poker right now. That feels a bit weird, but I'll take it I guess.
Really looking forward to Unibet Open Bulgaria in June. It'll be so much fun it's ridiculous. Also, since I'm this new healthier me I might actually be sober enough to hold on to a conversation for a bit so if you're going there don't hesitate to say hi.
Just curious what you low/mid stakes players use for table selection if anything. I tried tabletracker and SpadeEye/Telescope for a day but it got way too confusing and laggy and since datamining isn't allowed I don't feel they help that much. Do you guys actually join waitlists and cut down on tables until you get your spot? How do you decide which tables to waitlist? Is it okay to start new tables? Thanks for help
im blogging about this simply to get it off my chest. my gf is so angrivated she wont talk to me.
my brother has been dead for about 6 months now. and my parents and i talk frequently on good terms. my father and i often go to bars, my mother smoked a little pot with me here and here. we all old steady 40h a week jobs so we dont get much time together (mybe an hour a nite) anyway....
thats background.
i live in nyc queens. last thursday i was arrested in a park playing handball. i got arrested by 4 under cover cops who arrested me and my 2 freinds for smoking pot. cuffed me there , took me down to the station where i waited about 6 hours in a cell with 12 other people that was no bigger than 4x6 - (no exaduration) it had a bench to seat 2. i was then cuffed together in a chain like fasion to 6 other people in the cell where we got on a bus to go to central booking. its about 12 midnight now and we get there. we unload and we are put past the medic and have our mugs taken (yet again) and we get to the first cell. from there i waited no more than2 hours where i was put into another cell where i remained the nite. i got out of that cell about 9am. i was moved to the next cell where i was given a legal aid lawyer to rep me in my case. im in that cell for about 2 hours when im called to the enxt cell. from there i waited about a half hour and i was arraigned. stook infront of a court of about 50 including officials. the case judging took 2 min, i was charged with a class E misdemeanor and i get ACD for 1 year. acd is not as close to probation but its sort of like that. if i be good the charges are dropped. i go home.
so now lets fast foward a week to today.
im in a car ganna smoke with a few freinds and we pull over to get some paper. the next thing i know from the back seat, under cover cops are around the car and they pull us out. i was with 2 boys and a chick i knew. they search all of us were all clean but the one kid holding the pot. they find it and yet again cuff us all and take us down to the station.....one of the arresting undercovers was the SAME one who arrested me last week.... a FUCKING WEEK AGO. so we get donw there and were doing fucking print and mug shots again. then one of the the detecs say about 5 hours into it yea were about to get u guys outa here give us 15 min...so an hour goes by and he gets us these papers with court dates on them. we have to show up at court april 28th 9am for the case.... i have NEVER been let out of a station EVER when i was arrested and i havee been twice before this. i have always been sent to central bookings where id bounce cell to cell for a 20 or 30 hours. i feel like i was blssed with a night tonight. i had my mind set i was not ganna be home for another fucking 30 hours babyyy. i can shit on my toilet , take a shower and smoke BLUNTZZZ.. fuck u cock suckers see u in court
i haven't been putting in the volume i have wanted to, but i had a lot of personal issues come up at the beginning of the month which prevented me from putting in the hours. Anyways, i haven't been this tilted in a long time but oh wells, i've been playing my A game for the most part when I have played so yeah...it will turn...hopefully. Still up 1.5k so i guess i shouldn't be complaining, but jesusususus http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/c8dbc.midmonth.jpg
How do I do this effectively? Right now I'm tempted to just use checks, since Moneybookers is owning the crap out of me. So many problems it's ridiculous. Mostly it's my bank being retarded, and me not being able to find the physical address of MB or where to e-mail their support. It only has a complaint center and some crap FAQ on site.
[Q] Sample sizes & Winratesby DarkDevildog, April 15
My question is what is a good enough hand sample to find out a true(ish) winrate. On my new database I've played ~80k hands over 1 1/2 months and PT3 has me running at 2.08 which is 4bb I'm assuming. I'm trying to be realistic here and want to know how many more hand I should play before I "accept" my winrate.
i dunno what's going on, lol @ my life, will give it another shot tomorrow I suppose

where the redline changes directions there has definitely been a change in my play.. can't really describe why, honestly, but I just started playing a lot weaker (Folding to more cbets, not continuing bluffs, 3betting less type of stuff). will focus on turning that around and make sure I am playing just 3 tables again until I do so.
hardly played since the 6th but that has kind of been the plan. going to put like 1k hands/day in for the next 5 days to realize my "get to 10k hands 3-4 tabling and re-evaluate" goal
roll 1150 lawl, shipped some more money away, I have a 300 cash bonus from ironman that I will have to buy
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STARS 40-100BB TABLES! Sooooooo many terrible players just feeding me the cash. Went from $350-$510 in three days. Tables still have some of the old 50 bb min regs but the fish make up for the nits' annoyance. Moving up to NL 25 tomorrow. Hopefully this hot streak keeps up .
It seems like the cool thing is to give away private torrent site invites? well ill give some away for free to any LP'ers, demonoid imo is the best torrent site. so lemme know if u want an invite ^^
