The secret to your financial success is inside yourself. If you become a critical thinker who takes no Wall Street "fact" on faith, and you invest with patient confidence, you can take steady advantage of even the worst bear markets. By developing your discipline and courage, you can refuse to let other people's mood swings govern your financial destiny. In the end, how your investments behave is much less important than how you behave."

Taken from the introduction of "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. (the words are those of Jason Zweig)

If you exchange Investing with Poker, then you'd think this was written exactly for the poker player!
Patience, cold-hearted analysis, tilt-control, and not taking any "fact" for granted and putting in the hours to truly understand *the game* is what it takes to succeed in either field.

Villain is playing 24/14 over 200 hands
Seems fairly straight forward

I was putting him on some type of pocket pair, since I think from somebody playing mostly straightforwardly, this is all they flat with out of the blind

What is your line if he checks?
What is your line if he leads out?
Fold turn?
Jam turn?

Thanks

I feel like my game is improving A LOT + running good feels great..

Got a DC acc and watching Road to Robusto atm..

Also started to read "The Poker Blueprint" by Aaron Davis and Tri Nguyen which also helps a lot since it includes a lot of personal experience which i like!


lets hope I can keep this run up and can hit the nl50 tables in a week or 2

A day before his 15th birthday, the son of a wealthy family was asked by his father, `Well my son, what would you like for your birthday?'

The son hesitated a moment and his father's thoughts leapt ahead to a new computer and similar things. However, his son had had a new computer only recently and could have a new one any time he wished.

Finally, the son said, `Father, I have everything a boy could wish for, but there is one thing I would really like. I would love to have a pink ping pong ball.'

The father was rather astonished at this wish, but said, `If it is a pink ping pong ball that you want, a pink ping pong ball you shall have.'

And so, the next day, the son was given as his bithday present a pink ping pong ball.

The boy took the ball to his room and the next morning the pink ping pong ball was gone. The father was mildly surprised but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong ball, however, was never seen again.

The next year, a day before his 16th birthday, the father asked his son what he would like for his birthday.

`Father,' replied the son, `I have everything a boy could possibly wish for, but there is one thing I would really, really like. I would love to have a tenpack of pink ping pong balls.'

The father was more surprised than the year before, but kept his curiosity at bay, for he knew that his son had a right for privacy. he said therefore, `If it is a tenpack of pink ping pong balls that you want, a tenpack of pink ping pong balls you shall have.'

And so, the next day, the son was given as his birthday present a tenpack of pink ping pong balls.

The boy took the tenpack of balls to his room and the next morning, not a single ball remained, merely the empty husk of the tenpack. The father wondered where ten pink ping pong balls might disappear to, but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong balls, however, were never seen again.

The next year, a day before his 17th birthday, the son was asked by his father what he would like for his birthday.

`Father,' said the son to this, `I have everything a boy could wish for, but one thing would make my happiness complete. I would dearly want a carton of pink ping pong balls.'

The father was beyond surprise, but decided to make sure he had not misheard. `A carton of pink ping pong balls?'

`A carton of pink ping pong balls,' the boy confirmed.

`I can't understand your fascination with pink ping pong balls,' said the father, `but if it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you want, it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you shall have.'

And so, the next day, the boy was given as his birthday present a carton of pink ping pong balls.

The boy was delighted and took the carton to his room. The next day, miraculously (as if by magic, even) the pink ping pong balls had all disappeared.

`Dear son,' said the father, `I must ask now, what do you do with all those pink ping pong balls?'

The son, however, was reluctant to tell him. `Please humour me, dear father.'

The carton of pink ping pong balls, however, was never seen again.

The next year, it was clear that the son would get a car, but the father felt that, perhaps, his son also had some other wish apart from the obvious. So, one day before the son's 18th birthday, the father asked him whether he had a special wish for his birthday.

`Dearest father,' the son started, `I have everything a young man could possibly want, but there is one craving in me. I would, more than anything, want a warehouse full of pink ping pong balls.'

One of these years, his father thought, I should get to the bottom of this. However, he decided to humour his son's wish. At least he had been wise enough to buy shares in a pink ping pong ball factory.

The next day, the son was given the address of a warehouse where all his new pink ping pong balls were stored. The son was delighted and decided to spend the next night in the warehouse rather than at home.

The following morning, the son stepped out of the warehouse, but it seemed to be empty otherwise. The father had a closer look and indeed, apart from empty cardboard boxes, nothing was left inside the warehouse. No pink ping pong balls were left.

The following year, one day before the son's 19th birthday, the father braced himself for another warehouse of pink ping pong balls. He asked his son what his deepest desire was and he had not been entirely wrong.

`Father, you have made me very happy these last years and this year I ask of you a shipload of pink ping pong balls if at all possible.'

It was possible, if only because the father had by now bought each and every factory of pink ping pong balls in the country.

The next day, the father took his son to the harbour and showed him a huge tanker and told his son that there were millions, billions, trillions of pink ping pong balls in there.

`Father,' the son said, `You've made me very happy yet again.'

That night, the son spent on board the tanker.

The next morning, not a single of the pink ping pong balls could be found, but the son was happy.

A few days before his 20th birthday, however, the son had a terrible road accident and was taken to the hospital.

His father visited the young man in hospital. `My dear son! Can I bring you anything to make you feel better?'

Weakly, the son sat up in bed. `Father, dearest father, grant me this wish; just one tenpack of pink ping pong balls.'

The father held his son's hand tightly. `Whatever you wish my son, but I have to give you one condition. Even if it may be embarrassing, I must know what you did with all those pink ping pong balls.'

`Very well, father, but please indulge me first. I will tell you whatever you wish to know after you have given me the ten pink ping pong balls.'

The father thought that was fair enough and the next day brought his son the ten asked for pink ping pong balls. The son smiled weakly but seemed too weak to talk.

`Son, I leave these pink ping pong balls with you and shall come back tomorrow to ask of you what you have done with all those pink ping pong balls.'

The son nodded weakly.

The next day, less than surprisingly, no pink ping pong balls could be found in the son's hospital room.

`Now, my dearest son, apple of my eye, treasure of my life, please tell me what you did with all those pink ping pong balls,' the father requested.

The son nodded and the father gripped his hand tighter.

`I-' the son started and sat up a bit, swallowing with a dry mouth.

`I- I-'

Then he died.

Edit: Thank 4chan for that 'FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU' moment.

Yo, was just wondering if there was a way to sell tournament dollars on stars.
I thought I remembered a way to do this, but after searching around I could not find it.

So what's the best way to turn Tourney $$ into cash??

Usually I would pay the $10 Double or Nothing Sit and Go's, but those are a major grind.
And it's not guaranteed to make money from it. (most of the time cash obv)

Advice?

playing drunk is really hurting my progress.

it's so obv that proper brm is super super important, but even as i'm cognizant of that simple truth, the lack of properly using the skill continues to be my biggest leak.

also, having gambled a lot on a lot of different bets in my drunken spree, i've come to realize that losing a certain amount on a bet causes a level of agony that FAR surpasses the level of pleasure in winning that exact amount.

so yeah... since losing big hurts way more than what winning big could ever give you in terms of satisfaction, brm is life +ev.

fuck. i gotta grind live again.

Appreciate what you have. Never take anything for granted. Anytime I catch myself complaining about poker, i remember how good I have it, and how bad it really could be.

Life is Good.

Hey, I found some sc2 keys I want to buy on e-bay, but because I'm a chicken I didn't dare to buy it yet. Anyone here who have experience with e-bay and if It's a fake key I'm screwed or do I get any insurance ?

All I saw was a picture of a blizzcon ticket with a sc2 key hid behind it.

And uhm, maybe hopeless, but do anyone have a sc2 key for sale ? (users with high post count.)

I put in alot of hands on February. Run hot for 9 days before I hit a 12BI downswing over 5 days. This was probably my first major swing in my poker career. Either I played bad or running like shit, I decided to take some days off.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/4ecde.asdf.png

I'm finally back today, 9 tabling NL10. This time I felt more confident with my plays and felt less scared for my money. I'm calling more post flop and not worried about 3betting more.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/7f487.asdf.png

Played really well overall. Positive red line. Got lucky with a AK > QQ AI pre. Only thing I messed up was raising a small pair when I though I hit a set.

Hoping for a better March :D
