I am just a casual PLO player having played 125k hands in the past 2 1/2 years or so mostly at 50PLO. I want to play more and actually take a real shot at becoming good. Sessions like today are just mind-bogglingly frustrating. Stuck 6 buy-ins today and although my all-in EV was terrible I feel like for the first time in a long time I played very poorly regardless. Lots of small mistakes that added up over the course of the session + a couple high variance lines.

Anyways here is my All-in EV for the day as calculated for my winning and losing hands based on the percentage chance to win each hand at the point where all the money was put in the middle. Killahenri thinks he runs worse than me. It's hilarious because if I take all 125k hands I can almost guarantee I am between 30-40k below where I should be in terms of percentage to win the pot x money in the point at the point of All-in when it's just simple math. Today alone I'm stuck almost 12 buy-ins in All-in EV. Disgusting.

Enough money to go to Europe this summer which I should have if I stop downswinging so epically.

NL 100 shot went... Oh well not good
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/5fcf1.keke.png

Back to NL50, and most likely until my holiday in may. I have completely lost composure and focus on the tables, and the whole shot was my B-C game with some 10% A game - back to usual.

I kinda didn't have a goal or a plan, and the successful pokering in 50 days before the shot took its toll on my stress levels and real life too much. I was late to work quite a bit because of reading articles, watching vids and reading LP, my healthy eating goals disappeared and I became too attached to my winnings.
The result was a typical burnout, which is simply impossible to avoid with stressful full-time job when I become too attached to poker. And it came right about the time I moved to NL100.

Maybe there are people who can be winners longterm and work hard, but certainly not me, a simple fat lazy person with limited capabilities.

I dunno what the fuck happened to the important goals - Building health and Fitness to be able to grind heroic sessions when poker will be actually my income, I became obsessed with the game once more neglecting everything, which led to - oh what a surprise: much worse performance at the thing I am obsessed about.


My only April poker goal is to make 7,500 VPP, care much less about poker and get myself together

I signed for a Spinning class on 7:30 AM before work on Friday, and that should be a decent start to get me back on track.

Fleh, my mindset is still fragile and thus a disgusting runbad is not what I need right now.

But of course, that's what I'm getting.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/89cf5.march31graph2.jpg

I figured a 18% of bankroll stop loss was a solid idea so I'm done for the day.

Down 6bi & 8bi in EV since my break ended, lols.

Worse runs have been documented in the past. I know.

Hmm I made some spews today, biggest one was in a spot where I planned to x/r semi-bluff the turn if I improved. I did improve, but when I was facing the turn bet his bet sizing was a clear tell that he is never folding. I still semi-bluffed and got it in really bad 160bb deep. Need to trust my head more..

God damn it I really, really don't want to be someone who folds under pressure.

Lastly.. ship the awesome purple EV line.

I won one! 90-man $3.30 turbo deep one. Cashed for ~$78. Also ran pretty damn hot considering I didn't really get sucked out on and won most of my flips.

Mostly applied M-shove charts and exploited uberlags since there was plenty of preflop play throughout most of the levels as average stacks > 12bb. I'm now rolled for NL25! Moving up the micros...doodee doodee doo

Ok so second blog post, I've been trundling away playing .01/.02c and have built my roll to around $100. Took a few shots at .02/.05 here and there after about $85 which has mostly gone well so far, but I've only really been playing on tables that I think have totally terrible people. I am still swapping back and forth between 0.02/0.05 and 0.01/0.02 depending on how the tables are, so I'm not exclusively playing 2/5 just yet.

In my last blog post someone mentioned that you can get HEM by signing up to different poker sites with a deal, and I was just interested as to how that works tbh. From looking at the offer, you get a kind of redeemable e-voucher thing to buy stuff in the HEM store and some of the sites give you more than others.

Would stars be best to sign up with to get this voucher? As far as I'm aware (I don't play on Stars), all of the Stars bonuses and rakeback etc come from actually playing there and getting volume rather than affiliate orientated rakeback like FTP? Is this right?

Also the Stars token is only $75 credit whereas HEM itself is $90. However the small stakes version is $40 which is totally coverable by the voucher, and I'm not going to have to worry about moving past .25/.50 any time soon at all, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.

And if I get HEM this way, that does give a full copy of HEM and not some lame crap like I can only use it on Stars or something? I'm just kinda dubious because there is usually a catch to these things somewhere along the line.

I'm not really that desperate to get it anyway, yes it would probably help but I don't think I really need it yet however I'd like to be able to use it in conjunction with reasonable note taking that I do regardless and it will let me analyse my game better for the future too I think.

Cheers all!

Hey, I need some money on AP. I'm willing to send first on Stars or on FTP. I'm only going to trade with reputable players. Please help if u can


Comments (5)       read entire blog

So where do i go to get the basics on donkaments?

I play 6 max, no idea how to play full ring. The reason i ask is because i have a couple of 26 tokens from ftp and i want to use them as effectively - i probably won't cash so i want to use this opportunity to learn.

Advice anyone?

29th March.
I started the first session of the day at 12 noon; Played well , ran hot. I usually 6 table but since i was doing ok and there was good tables, i decided to try 7-8 this time. I ended up playing a little over 2.5 hours and managed to get a very solid +7 buy in boost to my bankroll. So i took a break ate a little bit and started the second session, played close to 2 hours before noticing that i am loosing my focus and not playing my best game. But still got a little financial boost with 2 more buy ins =). Then went to eat dinner to a restaurant. Chilled outside the house a little bit and came back home. Since my daily ''record'' was 11-ish buy ins, I wanted to break it and push it higher than ever be4. I started my last session after 10pm. I played again pretty good throughout all the session, but at the end lost a few standard hands and ended up +1 more buy in.
The whole day +10 buy ins

March in general.
The month started off pretty good. But then I had to change my soft and move to a new Merge network. So it took a little while to get used to the new soft and to mark all who needed to be marked. I played a lot less hand's then last month, roughly about 20000 to 25000. I still haven't bought the merge converter (fucking piece of shit) So i can't upload the march graph but i ended the month with a very solid and satisfying +6500$.
Oh and im also going to Vegas on Friday the 2nd of April for 3 nights. Looking forward to that as well. Probably gonna play a little live cash maybe some random live tourneys and be under the influence of alcohol the rest of the time.

April goals:
-Move up 400 nl
-end the month ''+''
-Play at least 25 k hands
-Get better in HU

Depressing. Wasn't even tilted, was just the culmination of MANY consecutive losing sessions with like a ~3bi stop loss. Not to mention utterly failing at live tourneys this month (although with live and coaching etc. I'm actually up in this field somehow).

Good timing for me to start thinking about other things though. The friends I had started this game with are all playing PLO now (one of them being one of the best 5/10-25/50 PLO regs now). Higher VPPs, easier to get higher winrates at the same stakes I'm playing. It's sad because I've put in a TON of work into my NL game and I've only been improving and hungry to get better for the past 2 years. My goal was always to be a 5/10 reg but it seems every shot at 5/10 ends in failure.

Overall on stars I do well at 2/4 and 3/6. I seem to have a good understanding of the games but it really is a lot of work to maintain what I consider to be a shitty average winrate (like 2ptbb) when I could just put in a ton of time learning PLO and making more potentially.

So with that I'm going to start playing PLO more often starting April. It's not like I'm quitting NL, but I do think this is a good time to start fully getting into PLO instead of just playing bits and pieces here and there.

If anyone is a ~50-200plo PLO reg and wants to talk feel free to PM me with contact info. I'm a 2/4 and 3/6 NLHE reg and I'll be starting at 50plo, hoping to make it back to 1/2 or 2/4 plo quickly :D

Cash: +~400
Live/Tourneys/Coaching: +700
Rakeback: Don't know how to calculate this for stars so I'll just do it when I actually have SN and can get bonuses and cool shit.

Total: ~1k (my secretary made more than me this month)

to explain the reason why i keep doing this ...

* ftp has no bankwire (my only means of withdrawing, but ftp doesnt care about withdrawals and xfers as much as stars does.
* stars is harder,doomswitched account, i suck w/e (god i hate this site now)
* if i use my now activated click2PAY now, stars limits my bankwire withdrawals and just withdraws it back to click2pay which sux
* click2pay has insane charges, no bankwire etc, poor support also
* philippines is gay coz no neteller and moneybookers( which was great before the restricted this fucking country)
* lastly, i dont wanna be in the vpp deathgrip anymore and got some good deals on rb on other sites so no more 24 or 16 tabling, no more chasing/clearing milestones, no more hand goals monthly, more life and time for my kids and dogs (whamm and bamm lols)

i want to play on ftp and euro donk sites, but cant withdraw shit from anywhere, so i use stars for that, maybe play a couple days here and there
to keep it active and whatnot.
