What's up all, this month was ez breezy, didn't play that much due to being a slave to my government(Marine Corps) but this month was successful non-the-less. I love FTP but more specifically RUSH. Myself and a buddy(Syntax on LP) started studying poker in more depth and are learning a ton. You learn exponentially faster with somebody at your skill set or better watching you play/talking about hands that go on. It's probably the most +EV thing a Online poker player can do, besides invest in PT3/HEM
Just reaffirming the fact that NL25 is impossible. Down 8 BI, 3 BI under EV.
Playing a solid game but I just keep running into coolers and suckouts. Had 2 green sessions before today but seem to be suddenly doomswitched. Every time I got my stack in, the pot went the other direction.
List check:
Ran KK into AA x4
AKs vs AA x1
AKs vs QQ x1
Set beaten by Overset postflop x2
Various payoffs with overpair/sets canceling out with shorties hitting flushes on river.
Back down to NL10 to regrind enough to get back up.

playing at ftp and 2 eurodonk sites. i seem to be running "normal" there.
stars is just so fucking rigged lately, below ev is the normal session and if i run above ev for jst a fcuking day, u can be sure the next session or two will totally obliterate any kind of profit made and if i tilt , could even lose more than what i heatered. its been almost a year now and ive had it with the patience and the mindfuck of this site,also i see these new regs who are terrible at the game but make a lot of money hitting shit and getting action nonstop, while in my case i miss a bet or deviate from my usual tight game and i get freerolled for a 1 or two outer it's just so fucking sick already! been getting coaching but it seems that it's only good for breaking even still, so fuck that. good luck to all regs coz you just lost one patient fish in that god forsaken site. goodbye stars. fuck vpps. out.
still gonna continue trying to improve but never playing this shit again. really bad for my confidence.
Bizzy's verse at the beginning is so sick my shit is all explodey. If you aren't ready for it, it makes pac'ss slow delivery following it seem lame at first glance. Rest of the song is really good tho, including pac's parts.
So I stopped playing for the last year due to uni commitments but after the grad medical admissions exam on March 21 I've had heaps more free time on my hands so I started grinding out 10/25NL. I started poker playing nothing but SNGs and used to have a decent win-rate back in the day but I always told myself it wasn't 'real' poker. For some reason I came to poker with the mindset that cash games are 'real' poker becaue the money is right there on the table.
Anyways I dropped a heap of money playing 6-max on stars and ftp and decided to play a few SnGs just for fun. Went back to my old 5+5.50s and decided to also try out the $3.50 MTTs people have been talking about a lot. Long story short, 1st and 6th in the MTTs and ~40% ROI over the 21 STTs I play last night. Uni has killed any micro I had so I'm maining 4-tabling and just playing spots as I can.
I could really use some advice on STT ROI % I should be getting at these stakes and if anyone wants to throw me an AHK script for FTP so I don't have to click I'd appreciate it.
edit: cool update with the scammer thing tho. Finally get my ftp account unfrozen after so long. Looks like i'll get off with a warning (rightfully so) but apparently they'll bone me hard if I get involved with another scammer.

keep the run good going please. hopefully i'll have a nice fat roll for the mid stakes soon.
I was on the heater of my life for a bit, but of course it slowly started leveling off. Also, I played 30688 hands of NL200 and won $6670.80 so no []5ptbb/100 for you nitpickers . My sessions aren't labeled as rush poker, but that's because I'm using FullTilt's hand history tool after every session since my client crashes once every 20 minutes and loses some hands. HEM doesn't list these imported hands as rush so I just delete all my hands and re-import them every session.
I've definitely started changing how I play, and I think that has mostly to do with the fact that FTP (or maybe just rush poker) seems to be much more aggressive than back when I played on Stars. A lot of lines where I would just insta-fold have become more trivial calls, and I'm definitely a lot more optimistic in post flop spots. One mindset that I've changed is I've stopped looking at some of my hands and robotically categorizing them e.g. "this is a midpair, I call his cbet". Rather, I will always keep in the back of my mind that any midpair can also be 5 outs to a very disguised hand (trips and random two pair), which gives me much more of a reason to call.
One of the difficult things that I've started to be less shy about are spots where I have to determine my FE against a polarized range. The hardest thing is when you run into the top of your opponent's range in a spot where you believe to have a lot of FE, but you start second guessing yourself simply because he had the hand (5bet shove against a wide 4bettor, he shows up with aces, maybe he just always had aces). But when I look back to all the spots where I decided to close my eyes and shove, I seem to be profiting. It's just very easy to be losing in a session and get faced in a polarized spot where you should make a stand, but then not having the heart to do it.
Anyway, enough rambling. This month was awesome, and hopefully next month I'll run even hotter .
It's weird traveling cause I'll go several days with no net or TV and then suddenly I get somewhere that has CNN on and I get hit with a rush of crazy shit - terrorist bombings and now the pope was personally involved in covering up the pedophile priests... sick shit.
One by one, as I predicted, the pathetic excuses of Joseph Ratzinger's apologists evaporate before our eyes. It was said until recently that when the Rev. Peter Hullermann was found to be a vicious pederast in 1980, the man who is now pope had no personal involvement in his subsequent transfer to his own diocese or in his later unimpeded career as a rapist and a molester. But now we find that the psychiatrist to whom the church turned for "therapy" was adamant that Hullermann never be allowed to go near children ever again. We also find that Ratzinger was one of those to whom the memo about Hullermann's transfer was actually addressed. All attempts to place the blame on a loyal subordinate, Ratzinger's vicar general, the Rev. Gerhard Gruber, have predictably failed. According to a recent report, "the transfer of Father Hullermann from Essen would not have been a routine matter, experts said." Either that—damning enough in itself—or it perhaps would have been a routine matter, which is even worse. Certainly the pattern—of finding another parish with fresh children for the priest to assault—is the one that has become horribly "routine" ever since and became standard practice when Ratzinger became a cardinal and was placed in charge of the church's global response to clerical pederasty.
So now a new defense has had to be hastily improvised. It is argued that, during his time as archbishop of Munich and Freising, Germany, Ratzinger was more preoccupied with doctrinal questions than with mere disciplinary ones. Of course, of course: The future pope had his eyes fixed on ethereal and divine matters and could not be expected to concern himself with parish-level atrocities. This cobbled-up apologia actually repays a little bit of study. What exactly were these doctrinal issues? Well, apart from punishing a priest who celebrated a Mass at an anti-war demonstration—which incidentally does seem to argue for a "hands-on" approach to individual clergymen—Ratzinger's chief concern appears to have been that of first communion and first confession. Over the previous decade, it had become customary in Bavaria to subject small children to their first communion at a tender age but to wait a year until they made their first confession. It was a matter of whether they were old enough to understand. Enough of this liberalism, said Ratzinger, the first confession should come in the same year as the first communion. One priest, the Rev. Wilfried Sussbauer, reports that he wrote to Ratzinger expressing misgivings about this and received "an extremely biting letter" in response.
So it seems that 1) Ratzinger was quite ready to take on individual priests who gave him any trouble, and 2) he was very firm on one crucial point of doctrine: Get them young. Tell them in their infancy that it is they who are the sinners. Instill in them the necessary sense of guilt. This is not at all without relevance to the disgusting scandal into which the pope has now irretrievably plunged the church he leads. Almost every episode in this horror show has involved small children being seduced and molested in the confessional itself. To take the most heart-rending cases to have emerged recently, namely the torment of deaf children in the church-run schools in Wisconsin and Verona, Italy, it is impossible to miss the calculated manner in which the predators used the authority of the confessional in order to get their way. And again the identical pattern repeats itself: Compassion is to be shown only to the criminals. Ratzinger's own fellow clergy in Wisconsin wrote to him urgently—by this time he was a cardinal in Rome, supervising the global Catholic cover-up of rape and torture—beseeching him to remove the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy, who had comprehensively wrecked the lives of as many as 200 children who could not communicate their misery except in sign language. And no response was forthcoming until Father Murphy himself appealed to Ratzinger for mercy—and was granted it.
easily my worst month ever by far, before this my worst month was like -3k, I definitely did not play well and all my shots went poorly as did plo. April I will probably just look to 6 table 3/6 for most of the month and try and get back to winning ways lol.
Im also going to NAPT Mohegan Sun in a couple days so hopefully I can just win that
It's finally gotten warm here in Southern Ontario which means golf season is back! I just played my first 18 yesterday and I'll probably go again this afternoon, feels so nice to get back out on the course.
I also finalized our Vegas house for WSOP, staying in a 10k sq foot 10bdrm Vacation Kingdom should be really sweet. Should have a good group of guys too, Myself, Dzoo, Adam001, Nutsinho, Kingsofcards, Altrum Altus, Jem87, Victree, Gregy20273 and Luckyfish... heres some pictures of the house.
Is a joke. I had a bit of fun donking around playing rush PLO10, went up 12 BI, ended up -4 BI.
Like for example, I got it in deep with a set, wrap straight draw, and flush draw, and did a fist-pump + chair-spin and then looked on my screen and saw I lost the hand. Huhhhhhhhhh...??
But hey, its Omahahaha. (lol )
For those of you who play PLO as your main game....how the heck do you handle the variance?? I think I'll stick with NLHE ;P
