So this morning i decided to take a shot. I have been playing really well at my regular stakes(even if i run like 20 buy-in under EV since the start of the month) and tought i could crush higher stakes. So i did. You probably know what happened, ran like shit.
i droped seven buy-in in 1k hands, played good at start, got beat by mother fucking "son of a fish" and tilted like a monkey. The last hand killed me for the day. Fuck this game!

Hey TL.
I received a SC2 key via the invite-a-friend thing and I'm willing to sell for $50 or best offer.
I've done one small transfer with a member here (see other blogs) and I've been a member on TL for a couple of years and had no issues with anyone. I will gladly send the key first to well known members of LP. Shoot me a PM if interested.
Edit: Sold to KingSpade. Quick and easy transaction.
I played around with it for like 20 minutes, thought it was kinda cool.

CASH POKER IQ SCORE BREAKDOWN - Your PokerIQScore™ broken down into categories
Of course, there is much more to No Limit Holdem than a single score. Your PokerIQScore™ has been calculated based on your performance in approximately 35 critical skill areas for no limit holdem poker. These 35 skill areas have been aggregated using a formula created by poker experts to calculate not only your overall score, but also your PokerIQScore™ on each street and in 8 general skill areas that apply to all streets. These overall score areas are described in detail below.
Pre-flop: Your pre-flop PokerIQScore™ is determined based on important skills such as identifying appropriate hands to play, stealing the blinds and defending the blinds, appropriately knowing when to limp and when to bet, knowing appropriate actions when facing limpers and/or raisers, identifying likely hand ranges for opponents based on your reads, understanding your position relative to the dealer button, and a range of other skills based specifically on YOUR style of play, as identified by our artificial intelligence machine. Because you play pre-flop on every hand, your ability to play well pre-flop can have a huge effect on your overall profitability as a poker player.
Your Pre-flop PokerIQScore™ is 110
Flop: On the flop, the skills you must perform change substantially from the skills necessary pre-flop. Now you need to know how to read the board, as well as understand and anticipate the actions of your opponents based on your reads of their abilities, as well as their pre-flop play on the hand in question. In addition, it becomes critically important to understand whether you are likely to be ahead, and if behind, what opportunities you have to win the hand. Your understanding of pot odds and implied odds become critically important, and of course these are based on how you played the hand up to that point. In addition, exercising appropriate pot control given your hand can be the difference between losing a small pot when you hand is not the best and losing your stack. Our analyzer assesses what information you knew and determines whether you are playing appropriately given the situation you have reached AND your chosen playing style.
Your Flop PokerIQScore™ is 116
Turn: The turn reaches yet another stage in the hand where the skill sets required change. As all skilled players are aware, the turn presents opportunities for extremely high levels of both profits and losses. Because of the increased pot size, a mistake on the turn can turn a winning session into a complete disaster. By the turn, both you and your opponents should have a solid expectation of the potential hands held by others at the table. Your ability to make your opponent play in a way that he wouldn't if he could see your hand is the difference between profiting on the turn and donating money to other players at the table.
Your Turn PokerIQScore™ is 136
River: Although many hands end prior to the river in NL Holdem poker, solid players know that much of your overall profit is earned based on your river play. A solid player who fails to know when to bet for value on the river can lose all his earnings potential solely based on river errors. Likewise, the player who calls down out of curiosity can give away a substantial amount of profits.
Your River PokerIQScore™ is 108
Bet Size: Knowing the correct amount to bet at a given time may possibly be the most important skill in all of NL Holdem poker. Unlike limit Holdem where the bet sizes are fixed, you can bet anything from a minimum bet to the tough-as-nails act of shoving your entire stack into the middle of the table. But there are appropriate sizes of bets to make, and betting too little can allow players to have the proper odds to draw out on you. On the other hand, betting too much can set you up to lose your entire stack to someone who happens to have a better hand.
Your Bet Size PokerIQScore™ is 109
Appropriately Aggressive Play: Let's face it, not everyone plays the game of NL Holdem the same. Professionals like Dan Harrington and Phil Hellmuth has hugely contrasting styles of play. They choose different hands, and as a result, they have to play the hands differently on subsequent streets. But regardless of your style of play, you must play in an appropriately aggressive manner. If your opponents discover that they can push you around, they will. But if they find that you tend to overplay your hands, you may find yourself staring down the barrel of a whole stack of chips pushed over the top of your bet. The key is knowing when to be aggressive, and when to see the red flags waving at you and telling you to slow down.
Level of Aggresion: Very Aggressive
Adjusting to Opponents’ Style Would you respect a raise from all of your opponents the same? If you said no, you understand the idea of adjusting to the quality and aggressiveness of your opponents. Weak opponents are just begging you to push them around. Strong opponents are telling you to respect them. Some of your opponents will bet too much, others will just passively sit around and call everything. Knowing how to react to different kinds of opponents can substantially increase your profitability.
Your Ability to Adjust to Opponents’ PokerIQScore™ is 130
Knowing the Odds: Think fast: you have a flush draw on the flop, there's $140 in the pot and you are facing a bet of $20. What do you do? The answer is that it depends. Are there other active players behind you? How did they play before the flop? What type of hand do you put your opponent on? Your correct move may be to fold, call, or even raise. Knowing the odds in NL Holdem involves much more than a mathematical calculation you might make in a Limit game. In addition, these decisions come up all the time. Should you call from the small blind? What should you do with a medium pair with an early position raiser in front of you? Knowing the odds in NL Holdem contributes a substantial amount to your overall profitability.
Your Pot Odds PokerIQScore™ is 115
Respecting Previous Action: The correct play for you at any time during a poker game depends not just on your hand, but, even more importantly, on how the hand has been played up to the time you are faced with a decision. How did your opponents play on earlier streets? Were you the aggressor or were they? Are you able to put your opponents on a range of hands? In NL Holdem, you can earn a substantial amount of profit by simply betting on the flop when you were the pre-flop raiser. Similarly, if you know that your opponent was aggressive before the flop, you can often trap him or her with a check-raise on the flop or the turn. There is also the aspect of how people played before you pre-flop. You also always need to worry about solid players who indicated strength by raising from early position. If you are facing a pre-flop raise and a re-raise, only the very, very best hands can play against solid competition. Ignoring previous action will lead to a rapid decrease in your stack.
Your Respecting Previous Action PokerIQScore™ is 128
Timing your Strategic Moves: Most players enjoy the thrill of the check-raise. You have a great hand, you check it, and when an opponent bets you push a bunch of money into the center of the pot. But the timing of a move such as a check-raise can determine whether the play is profitable or losing. The same thing goes for slow-playing a monster hand or betting with a hand that may not be best. What do you know about your opponents' hands? Are they the type of players who are likely to bet if you check, or will they just check behind you. If you do have a monster, what are the odds of your opponents improving their hand to a solid second-best hand? What are the odds that playing it slowly will result in someone with no hand beating you? Possibly most importantly, what image are you projecting at the table? Are you someone who is seen as aggressive? Passive? Do you seem to always play your weak hands strongly and your strong hands weakly? All of these considerations can make the difference between a well-placed strategic move, and one that is simply leaving money out on the table.
Your Strategic PokerIQScore™ is 87
Position: You have been dealt nothing for a while, and you finally get a marginally nice hand, but you are the first to act. Can you still play it? As usual, the answer is, "It depends." But the odds lean strongly against playing a marginal hand out of position. You have to go first and make many tough choices without the benefit of having the information about your opponents' hands that they will have about you. On the flip side, the ability to move last after the flop can make a hand worth playing. If you have position on your opponent, you have the best information of anyone at the table, and you have a less likely chance of being forced into a difficult situation. Simply put, position makes all the difference in the world at No Limit Holdem.
Your Positional PokerIQScore™ is 160
Bluffing: You just missed your draw. But the board is scary and there's a good chance that the latest card to come on board would have improved a hand that your opponents thought you might have had. Is this the right time for a bluff (a bet indicating strength when the reality is weakness)? Unlike many other bets in poker, you DON'T want your opponents to stick around when you bluff. So you have to time your bluffs appropriately, and you definitely don't want to bluff too much. Similarly, you certainly don't want to bluff when your opponent has a hand he or she would never fold, and there's no reason to waste a bluff with a hand that might eventually stack your opponent. A bluff is best when ending the hand right then and there would be a fantastic outcome, and there's a good chance to believe that your opponents will believe your bet. But picking those situations out can sometimes be tricky.
Your Bluffing PokerIQScore™ is 121
The three specific skill areas in which you could most use additional training:
Improvement Needed Area #1: Playing too Aggressively at the Wrong Time
Improvement Needed Area #2: Many of your Bets were too Small
Improvement Needed Area #3: Passive Play (not betting often enough)
