So far, i've been on a break from poker, and will continue playing again 1st week in April. This break is awesome so far, been doing great in school and only 12 more 12 hour shifts at the hospital and I finish! Life is good. Oh and here's some pics from my Mexico trip from December. Sorry for the long wait. Pics can be seen below, and btw, i had lots of fun in Mexico. And just in case your wondering, i didn't see Baal in Mexico
how much should one invest in a chair?by whamm!, March 08
my back beginning to hurt, i think its this damn substandard offc chair ive been using for months now.
im not looking to spend some serious dough on a new chair, but damn im not buying those made in china ones anymore, i sit a lot hours daily.
Played a 100 dollar mtt at my local casino.
Went well, and doubled my stack after like 3 hands with a rivered flush (money went in on the river)
Chipped up a bit more without showdown, and made some standard calls.
Went carddead for about 2-2.5 hours and chipped down to 12 bb. Managed to get a stack after that, and going into the FT I had like 26k (400/800) - meaning 3rd in chips or so.
Chipleader is a indian (not the cowboys & indians) but the ones that speak english funny.
The Indian is a donkey, and kept limping & foldning when he had <10bb. I switched tables and when I came back to his table, at the FT he suddenly had a tower of chips.
2nd hand of the tabled played out something like this:
A shorty with like 7-8bb raised to 3xbb, the indian called in the HJ, and the BTN 3bet isoded to 10xbb. The shorty tankfolded, and the indian called. Flop comes something like A-K-10 with 2 spades, the indian checks and the BTN bets, the indian tanks and calls. Turn is 8 (Board: A-K-10-8 with 2 spades) and the indian check calls again, River is the J of something (not spades). Board A-K-10-J-8, the indian checks and the BTN checks. The indian gladly announces he has 2 pair with KJ thinking he would take down the pot, but the BTN shows a set of 8's, and the shorty who folded pre said he folded AQdd (LOL?????).
Next hand, Indian is UTG or UTG+1 and minraises 400/800 to 1600, I'm in the CO or BTN (cant remember) and I tank 3bet to 7k (25k deep - indian covers). Flop comes 3-7-7- rainbow and I have 18k left, indian tanks and checks, I vbet 6k into 15k leaving me 12k to push any given turn card. He calls pretty quickly and turn is a Ace, board = 3-7-7-A and he checks and I think for a few seconds and push 12k. He insta calls, and I politely ask if he turned an Ace, he nods with a smirk on his face. I politely utter: "you stupid fish" and proceed to stand up, River bricks and I look at him, the table is shaking their heads.
I take the walk of shame down the steps, I swear a bit whilst taking a 10 minute walk home (trying desperately to reach someone whom I can talk to about the hand). Nobody answered, so I got ahold of balzamon when I got home on msn..
I am two thirds through my stability test where I have to play 30,000 hands 75%+ 4 tabling and rest 6 tabling at NL50 and make a steady profit. I am doing this to test my discipline before moving up/playing some HU, and to simply prove to myself that I can win steadily over a semi-decent sample which never happened since I started my job at the end of July 09.
As a byeffect I might lose my SN and move to Some noname euro site with 50%+ rb which would mean:
- Lose my Pokerstartegy access (They do have good math articles)
- Lose Tableninja
- Lose the perfect software
- Lose my Cool Avatar and 5 Stars
- Lose the personal feel it has with other people's avatars
- No VIP store, no fame from playing on known site
- Fewer promos, no fun freerolls
+ more rb money, when I need them in hard cash
+ Less addictive VPP shit, no pressure to play when I don't want to
+ More fish, less gay shorties on higher stakes
I am still undecided if I want to stay or not (I'd probably would have to 6 table more and multitable again at the end of the month, and during the following 3 months before my Job ends), especially with the prospects of September onwards where I will rely on poker for some 65% of my expenses.
I will not come back until I can make SN in less than 2 months if I lose it.
On facebook if you search Four Aces Poker you will see a new cardroom outside of Montreal. They are hosting a tourny that tourny April 16, has anyone been to this cardroom yet? What kind of stakes they have?
Hey, I've pretty much stopped playing poker. I suck ass (1ptbb at nl100), and it stresses me out, so I haven't played in a month. That said, I still lurk the shit out of lp, so I wanted to say hi.
I hope you guys all run good, I'm just jamming out to Wale. Enjoy this jam. Obviously I'm drunk.
Was getting absolutely raped at the 23s and 34s today, worst downswing in my 10k+ games. But then found a huge fish at the 115s and butt-raped him! Bumhunting is awesome(fuck you haters)!
So I made a promise to myself to take things seriously in poker. No more mass grinding. I want to be a good poker player, and playing 16 tables is not cutting it. I'm playing 4 - 6 tables (average of 5). I want to be agressive with my bakroll and get up to $3.5k minimum by June 1st through online / live play. Right now I'm overing a little over $300 on my stars account and a little under $100 on my FullTilt Account.
So here's an update since I made this promise.

*Watching Busto to Robusto NL
*Watched the Hudless videos
*Bought the Poker-Blue Book
Overall, I can tell my skill has gone way up in the past few days by playing at most 6 tables. However, I'm currently running bad right now. all the 2 outers all-in preflop has happened, so in and so forth. But this isn't affecting my play at all. I don't go overboard and tilt my money away. I move on, and I'm find and content because I know I got my money in good. I'm really only worried about my EV, being results oriented isn't good. Of course if I have a good day I'll ship some money on some nice food or whatnot (fuck the dollar menu, give me a big mac!)
