pokerstars new table update rocksby K40Cheddar, April 13
So I just found out today that pokerstars decided to change their table structure. After downloading the new software, I found that the new available games are 20-50 bb tables, 40-100 bb tables, and 100-250 bb tables with antes. I gotta say that this new update is absolutely amazing! Stars used to have a huge problem with shortstackers, people buying in for 20 bb. It got REALLY annoying trying to avoid these guys because when they raise it makes things like set mining irrelevant because the implied odds aren't high enough. Glad they fixed that.
I'm normally a reg at NL 10 50 bb min tables, and although I've been profitable the stakes were difficult on some days and nights due to the grinders hanging around playing extremely tight. It was kind of tough to find some fish. Now with these 40-100bb tables, all the medium stack fish are ALL OVER THE PLACE. I mean it's like a thanksgiving dinner on the tables now. I hit a flop of Js Jc 4h and hold Qd Js and get jammed on by a guy with 5c 7s. I mean wtf is that? Not complaining because its free money for me.
I'm looking forward to playing on these 40-100 bb min tables. Based on only about 1300 hands, I've gotten so many favorable all in situations that I'm pretty confident that I'm going to be rolled for NL 25 in a couple of weeks, assuming I don't run too bad.
Can someone answer a few questions for me ?by try, April 13
Best answer I'll give $5 on full tilt.
I have some leaks I wanted to fix. Keep in mind I'm not looking for answers regarding reads but rather vs unknown players. Seems my leaks are simply calling raises preflop here are my questions.
When should I call a raise with suited connectors.
When should I call a reraise with 1010 - QQ
What should I call a three bet with.
When should I call a raise with low pocket pairs.
When should I call a raise with AX suited.
And vs unknown is this a good range?
AA AK KK
AQ QQ JJ
1010-22
suited connectors 34+
KJ AJ KQ suited in pos only in non raised pots.
If you take the time to answer appreciate your time.
Febuary was a magical month where I made $2300. I have lost at least 80% of the sessions I have played in January, March, April. This is just from the past week and half. Honestly, how can I run bad for so long.
Giving Away Private Torrent Site Invitesby Carthac, April 13
LP has helped me quite a bit in the last couple months with my poker game, so I wanted to give back, even if it really isn't that much
I am subscribed to a private torrent site, and I have 4 invites to give out. Basically all files have 1.0mb download speed, and its a great community of people that literally LOVE to upload the newest content as fast as possible, including all TV shows, newly released movies, software etc.
Only way I could think of giving them out without getting spammed was to ask of a little effort. Lets go with....post a cool hand that you have had lately. Unless it is just a stupid hand, I will hand out the invites basically to the first 4 that post. GL!
P.S. Unless you know how torrent sites work, please don't post
I am in need of a short time stake for sng/mtt whatever the staker would like me to play over the course of whatever we set for stake. Not looking for a long term stake or anything just recently needed to cash out way more than intended since i just moved and got settled in and everything. I will post some different graphs and let the staker decide what they would like me to play
ok no more bragging of rungood from now onby whamm!, April 12
that shit's an insta doomswitch. ill post one when im really really past ruining the run good , like say like when ive been crushing consistently for months.
ima downloading 2 things today since taking a break from dling shit
the whole cartoon is weird but i find it hilarious - a slow old man on walkers,slowly fleeing from zombies, but also killing them left and right, talking to his himself as his own sidekick "walker" which is really his walker lol.
this is pretty sick in some scenes and did not really watch the whole thing, im never watching these gore snuff docs again, real or fake, it just kinda ruins my day.
Got enganged to my woman last weekend on 4/3. Been dating the love of my life for 6 years since high school and finally pulled the trigger. Honestly I just finally had the money to buy her a ring she deserved. Was a pretty amazing weekend. It was our 6 year anniversary so we were staying in the city for the night(NYC). We stayed at the Marriot Marquis which is a really nice hotel in times square. Wandered around during the day and then had dinner at the view, a really nice restaurant that rotates 360 every hour. At 10PM we went up to the top of the rock (rockefeller center), 86 floors up. After about 10 minutes of enjoying the views, I asked some guy to take a picture of us, then popped the question. SHe freaked out and had no idea it was coming. Everything went smoothly. Only bump was when I had to go thru the medal detector and freaked out about her seeing the ring I had in my pocket.
POKER:
Still grinding 50PLO 6max and HU. Not too many hands put in lately for obvious reasons. Having good results so far and I am addicted to the action, I dont think I can ever enjoy holdem again. THe game is very fukin swingy tho. I have a stop loss of 4 buyins so Im sticking to that, only problem is some days I only get to play for 10 minutes haha.
GOLF:
SO fukin excited that the golf season is here. Masters this weekend was awesome. Played a ton in florida and played about 4 rounds since I got back. Plan on playing every weekend and gettin my game back.

Took a shot at the 15+1 pokerstars today and had a bad run busted all 8 of them
- 128$
then i tried some Nl25 cashgame at FTP and pretty fast lost another 3 BI
- 200$ day ...
Well i simply should give up on cashgame alltogether ... i didnt have any significant success for 2 years -> wont change imo
pretty bad but still in the green for the month afterall.
thx to my + 420$ in the 6.50 18 mans this month.
down ~ 100 $ in the 15+1 and 45mans overall
which makes month so far
+120$
still enough time to reach like + 500 playing lots of the 6.50 18mans for the rest of the month
I was originally inspired to play SNGs instead of cashgame by Boku87 whom many of u know from his famous
100$ to 10K bucks in 15 days playing 18man and 45man exclusivly.
What most people dont know and which i just recently got aware of.
He currently is doing a second probbet.
5$ to 100K in 1 year
he started 25 Cent-SnGs working his way to the 1$ and 2$ and after only 1 weak ha had turned the 5$ into a 1800$ Bankroll again.
30 days after he started from 5$ he had achieved a 9200$ Bankroll
currently after 8 month he is $62.200 in the green having started from 5$
Was at the game. Pretty special evening to be in the building and to be a Sens fan. I've been watching this guy at ice level my whole life so it's pretty sick to see him honored this way. Easily the greatest Senator to ever play the game and still has a few more years left in his legs. Hoping the team finds some extra energy this year knowing Alfie only has a few more chances to win it all.
for those of you can't get enough details on the financial meltdown this story sheds more light on how companies waged bets, exploited the markets, and 'got there' while taxpayers and investors ultimately ended up providing stakes to banks who accepted the odds or got slow rolled in the end.
So I became friends with a host at a local card game I used to play at every week a few months back. As a typical live player he knew relatively nothing about online play, or even poker in general, even though he hosted a game. That isnt to say he didnt dump $12,255 online as of today, but you get what I'm saying. So being the nice guy that I am, and one of the only live players I actually hang out with, I gave him the keys to the castle. I introduced him to cardrunners, dueces cracked, HEM, the forums, free e-books, retail e-books, the works. I just wanted to help a brotha out. Naturally he didnt do a damn thing with it and from that time he has lost an additional 3-4 grand, oh well, FAIL.
So I brought Holly (my wife) to his game one night for fun, and after we left for the night she immediately commented how she was suspicious the dealer and HIS wife, who also happens to play, were colluding. She just said they were in way too many pots raising each other till someone folded, then dumping hands on the river without a showdown. I disagreed simply b/c
1) they both suck
2) there are too many stations for them to successfully pull this off
Anyway, she actually told me she wouldnt even play there again she was so certain lol. Well, I didnt pay too much thought into it, although they do always sit directly across from each other. I dont know much about effective colluding so not sure what the most optimal situation would be.
So just moments ago Holly is looking up their PTR stats for a nice goodnight laugh, as they are pretty horrible, and even I laugh after how much info I shared with him to help them improve, and she notices that one of their accounts is a nemesis of the others in ring games. You can see how many hands you have played vs someone in PTR and it shows them at like 350 hands vs each other. What makes this even more damning is the fact that as I got to know this guy and he realized I knew a lot about online play, he actually began asking me if I knew how to cheat, and where to get poker bots to play lol. I reminded him even a building full of cray super computers cant play NLHE for shit, but now it's all falling into place.
Soooooo, what do you think? Are they cheating scum? What other reason would they be playing with each other online at the same tables for? Plus they have expressed an interest in cheating, they host their own home game, and holly already labeled them cheaters from the first night! Hmmmmmmzzzz.... Me personally, I dont think I'll ever play at their game again.
Oh yea, I was supposed to post pics of our new cars like weeks ago. If the weather didnt suck, I was too lazy, so here are some taken today!
