So I bought a new monitor today but found out I was out of milk so I smashed the mother fucker. Hah, j/k, but got you to read my blog.
In reality, I just went busto playing live..... sigh.. I dunno what happened. Lost a big hand after repopping a lagtard BTN raiser (they have these live? Whats the world coming to) with AJ and he calls my cbet on a JT3 board with A3.. turns trips but I turn nut flush draw, i c/r him allin and fail to connect. Some other loose passive but nitty postflop player decides he's going to squeeze a 5way raised pot with 98s in the CO and I get stuck in the middle with JJ. Fold flop, just bleeding chips is all. Later I try to bluff him off his gutshot but he rivers bottom pair for the win. And again when he floats flop with AK high. I had to call him out on that one since he was the initial raiser and I 3bet him. He said "I had to defend my hand", and I'm just like "wtf?" How do you defend by check-calling with air?
Nothing particularly spectacular though. Just a bunch of chip loss from missed draws and shit.
I'm glad this happened though. I thought I was going to have to dedicate myself to live play so I'd have an edge at the stakes I want to play instead of grinding it out at nonsense micro stakes. Since live is just as variance heavy as online, and since I apparently dont have any edge, I might as well go back to playing online. I'll just spend the rest of my poker career donking off at NL400 once a month until I run hot.
I'm considering spending a lot of time out in vegas this year and know that a lot of people split houses for the summer, so it's making me think about doing the same. Maybe some other alternative too, but getting a hotel for longer than a couple weeks seems like a huge waste of money. The summer is rapidly approaching though and I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions folks?
I'm posting a video from the prom night (most of the people in it are from my class/are my classmates' partners) just to cheer myself up. Poker is not going well at all...
I'm also in the vid. If your memory is good enough, you'll recognize me
cuz like money is useful n shit cuz u cant buy shit with a fucking pale green line n shit as i simultaneously deal with an incredibly pauxity of actual opportunites to get value yes succeed incredibly in scraping the fucking barrel n shit but it doesn't fucking matter n shit if the fucking like, pot, ain't won by me n shit motherfucking shiieeeett.
Was playing around at NL5 to build my confidence to get back into online play. Playing live has been great, but I only get like 5 hours of sleep per night so I'm usually too exhausted to drive 30 minutes and put in the hours. I simply have to be able to play online as a full time poker player.
Anyway, the following happened vs a 70/40 monkey who I already had a note on that he just randomly bluff's stacks off for no apparent reason.

I raged and punched my 22" flatscreen and now theres green lines and shit going down the middle. Hopefully newegg has some deals on a 30" or somethin, that would be rad. This is my 3rd flatscreen I've ruined. Obviously it's not the money, I'm just very competitive and havent played online in a couple of weeks. So it's especially tilting after you take a break due to running bad, and then run bad vs the donkiest of players your very first night. I just want to quit again now.
only in my thoughts tho, lol
but yeah coaching has made my mind 10000% stronger, and my game so much better pre and postflop. running quite terribly still but i feel just so raaaaaaaaaaawr nao. wanted to share my "mental" heater
theres a screener available for this, just finished dling it. looks good.
well, i decided i hated the universe and that i wouldn't blog anymore like two months ago, but here i am doing it again.
after cariadon ripped up one of my earlier mixes, which is preserved somewhere in my blog-past, i got all sad, but really, he was pretty much right, and i still suck, but i don't really care.
so heres some music for about the one person that might download it. i've never tried rapid share, so its kind of a test.
it fits on a cd, and its just one continuous track of approximately 75 minutes.
probably my favorite track on the mix is tydi's stadium mix of maaybe by dr.willis and re-ward :O
OH and ps, i learned to play very badly on piano, i can do the entire song in about 9 minutes, after about 12 hours of total practice from not knowing any of it, plus i havent learned any piano songs in like 5 years! so.. .. brag? o_o
pokerwise march is terrible, i kind of had a mental breakdown after about my seventh discouraging day, so im on a couple days of break here while i try to recover and get back to it, net result is like -2600 so far, so its not the end of the world but its pretty disheartening i guess

I made a post earlier in the main poker section that got closed and was told to cross post it there in a blog. So, here it is.. I've got a million playchips on stars for sale for 10$ to start my online roll if anybody is interested send me a PM or something .. thanks
Whats a good way to keep my lower body strong without going to gym and having equipment? I generally do squats/deadlifts...but its a pretty big time commitment to do this regularly in the next couple of years.
I wouldn't mind going for sprints or something like that around where I live for this. Also a consideration would be to keep my knees healthy in the long term. I want strong legs basically...Id probably mix in a couple trips to the gym during the month, but for those stretches where I dont go Its kinda important to have an alternative.
And what do you think is a good home workout for my upper body given that I only have a bench press and dumbbells. Im thinking about buying a pull-up bar, and something for my forearms. Don't have the money to shell out on a squat rack and kinda hesitant about shelling out money for an olympic bar and plates.
Wee...Today my team's manager said that he wants to see me alone and...I am getting £300/$450 extra out of the blue for my 5 months of hard work in 2009 :D
Its crap money you might say, but you must realise that I am on a student placement with 11 month fixed contract with no prior experience in my first non-menial job. The group our company is under (Lloyds Banking Group) made a combined loss of $9,000,000,000 last year, and there is nothing about bonuses in my contract at all.
Ship it, I don't even have to unlock it :o
Boring Life stuff
I am really glad that I decided to go for the placement. I have only 3.5 months left and I have to start writing reports to University, but thats irrelevant. What is really useful is the day to day stuff, time management, talking to people and a professional attitude that I pick up.
I will try to get a 1:1 (70%+ in all subjects combined) degree next year when I do my Honours project.
And my parents and GF wouldn't be glad to hear it, but I am doing this to have a real shot at Poker.
How will good degree and 1 work experience with good references help me in Poker?
Well its simple. I basically want to choose something I can do long term, and in poker that means to have the goal of being a high stakes/nosebleed player.
But from what I have seen its so damn hard when you are at NL100-NL400 to not be entangled with the burden of day to day expenses and the fact that Poker is your only solid option in life.
I want to think deep, play many variants, have proper swings and deal with them and never stop learning. But for that you can't keep it safe and grind your SNE and live off of rakeback, you have to take chances, take the hard way of thinking poker on few tables and take shots.
And thats something I couldn't do if I knew that if I am breakeven for longer time or busto...I am fucked.
Call it options in life, call it a safety net, but when I finish with the uni 1.3 years from now, I am sure that it will help me to go berserk and give Poker my best.
So I cashed out my roll, which was only like $650.
Then I decided I want to play again. I left $10 in my account.
So it is time to grind STT's. This time I want to try to hit $1,000 with STT only, no cash games.
Looking for people to add me on MSN and theory discuss, etc. Also, is STT games a good way to make FPPs? I'm on stars.
