hi everyone!
the last 2 days I started taking shots at NL50 heads-up
I had no experience before and I'm sure I suck at it, but I just loved!
its amazing how it made me think much more about ranges and stuff. Its also amazing how fast you can get coolered and tilt
my roll is a little over 2.5K, I plan to grind 6max until I hit 4k and then I'm gonna start playing hu a lot!
my roll can't stand all that variance yet... If I was a confident HU player I wouldnt mind, but since I'm not I'm just gonna stick with 6max for now
until that I'm gonna study a lot HU and learn as much as I can... I feel that the real learning will come from playing tho...

I think I'm gonna improve the quality of my blog posts too
I know a lot of you guys think my blog is stupid and you are probly right
I just like to troll here and there sometimes, its fun
but I gonna stop it, promess

kisses everyone

edit: oh, and I'm down 4 bi's for the month

Which brings me to slightly above even for the month (not including rakeback)
I didn't meet my goal of 20k hands because of midterms/playing MTTs but that's fine.
I spent the past week beating Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and it was fucking awesome
Also just bought Slowhabit's new book The Poker Blueprint. I'll read it in the next 2 weeks or so and try to write a mini review for it in my blog.

Cash: -$189
MTT SnGs: +$206
Rakeback: +$100

First month where most of my winnings are from rakeback but I'm not ashamed!

Thinking about checking out this card room after work either tomorrow or thursday. Wondering how the parking situation is. How much is valet flat rate? How tough is street parking at 5pm? How tough is 2/3 game at 5pm til about 11pm weekdays?

Any input is appreciated. Also, I heard somewhere there is a preflop rake?

Thanks

edit: found a lot of answers on http://poker.wikia.com/wiki/Palomar_Card_Club

Hey guys!

I talked to Slowhabit about having the opportunity to review his new book, The Poker Blueprint:

http://dailyvariance.com/pics/blueprint-cover.png

As you all may know, Slowhabit is renowned for his poker authoring. As I am currently hovering around NL100 in my 6max game, I thought this would be a great time to get my hands on some poker wisdom.
I don't have a copy yet, but he wanted me to make a blogpost about it, so here you go, Tri!
The book can be found here:
http://dailyvariance.com/the-poker-blueprint.html

Oh yeah and I stacked Don Cheadle:

Earlier today i played a guy who is most likely the biggest donk/clown i have ever played. I ended up beating him, but he managed to last a good hour or so while being both the luckiest player i have played in a long time and easily one of the worst. I just had to make a picture to represent this guy because ive never seen anyone so bad at poker. It gave me a good laugh too and i want to remember this guy because he was hillarious.

Got choked by two different black belts today. First my roomie tried to do what I think was supposed to be a Cross Choke on me. Since we're both fairly new and I'm fairly good at pressing my head against my chest he didn't really get much done, in fact I was kind comfortable down on the floor chillin' while he was trying different things that didn't work much. The main instructor then decided to show how it was done, but since the main thing about this coke is that you'll have to apply a fair bit of pressure to make it work and he's a nice guy while I obviously fought like crazy not to give him any room it took him a good 20 secounds or so to apply it in such a way that I couldn't get air and had to tap. He'd probably do it in 5 or so if he just put some weight behind it, but whatever.

Then a guest coach came over, apparently decided that he couldn't have a white belt surviving that long against a black belt and choked me 3 times. My best time from him gripping my gi to me not getting any air was probably about 3 sec. He's apperently a BB under Murilo Bustamante since like 13 years and he was a really cool dude so it was a lot of fun. He kept repeating that "Some guys never taps to this choke. Jacare never taps to this choke. But that's a bad example, Jacare never taps to anything".

cliff notes: Got choked by two different black belts in one day. I thought it was really cool and really fun.

Dear nl50 or nl100 player. If you are having troubles beating the game or if you want to increase your winrate faster then this might a interesting coachingblog.

What do you offer?
I offer knowledge which will help you beat your current game. I think I’m fairly solid as a poker player in terms of incoming cashflow , I have had 1 losing month (july ’09) since I started (aug. ’08) almost 1 million hands. Obviously I’m not the best there is and there are way better coaches then I am. But I’m fairly sure I will be able to teach 1 or 2 cents to a nl50 or nl100 player for a relatively small price.
Below you find my all time winrate and EV winrate on different stakes.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/8eb48.all time.jpg

I have to add this though
NL400: This is what you call a heater, I’m fairly sure I’m not beating it for 4 big bets a 100 hands. I haven’t put in enough hands on this limit to get a realistic winrate, but so far I’m winning.
NL200 and NL100: It’s all time, which means when I first played this limit I wasn’t beating it for 2 big bets and right now I’m beating it over 2 big bets. To give you an idea, I was beating nl200 for 3 big bets ev the last 3 months which is around 150k hands.
NL50: This was in oct ’08 when I started out. I haven’t played the game since but I’m fairly sure this won’t be a problem.

Why are you coaching if you could instead just play poker? Something smells fishy..
This is very true. I’m not running bad or low at cash. However I broke my leg pretty bad this newyears eve and I have a ton of time to waste. I put in a ton of hours last 2 months and I’m just a bit fed up with playing poker right now. However I do still enjoy teaching friends who play lower then I do.
And the price?
I’m not sure yet. I think it’s gonna be between $60 and $100 an hour. I have to think about this. Maybe I will vary it to the limit you are playing. So for example $60 for nl50 and $100 for nl100.

Anything else to add?
Yes, I have no payed coaching experience. However I have experience helping people out sweating them. I also get coached myself now and then by Dzoo and understand how explain certain poker knowledge. So in fact you get some cheap dzoo advice along! Sry dzoo : - )
Also I have room for 1 or 2 students and maybe 3 later.

How is it gonna work?
Mikogo, skype and 2 or 3 pokertables. I also have msn and you can send some important hh’s now and then.

Anyone to vouch for you?
Well I’m not sure, feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.

I wanna transfer some money to stars


Comments (1)       read entire blog

Hi,

Thinking about selling 50% in a 3300kr MTT.
1650 is roughly $230-240.

FTP results are the only ones results that matter imo.

I have won one Live tournament (team poker):
http://www.expressen.se/poker/pokerny...dje-sasongen-av-lagpokerligan-avgjord

Pocket5's: http://www.pocketfives.com/scores/iop

FTP: http://officialpokerrankings.com/full...9CB0210B4420AF60497A81DF85D8.html?t=2

Not too impressive Stars: http://officialpokerrankings.com/poke...621A9BFF456EB9E7B7B84B04E66E.html?t=2

I have some ongame, crypto, and svenskaspel results - but as they have not been tracked I wont't bother finding my old results.. Edit: I guess ongame is tracked - I won a 20+2 mtt for $1,5k - impressive eh? That being said, I do have a + ROI on all sites I've played mtts... Even if my sample size is not optimal.

I feel I am +ev in this tournament, and am a well rounded mtt player. PM if you are interested.

I have a bunch of people that can vouch for me, if you would like references PM

I'm almost completely ruined, 2k roll and 650 dollars in the bank haha. It isn't like I have many options.. lol I have to grind nl50 I guess. What a joke....

Feel like I've alienated everyone with my ridiculous tilt and emotional instability lately. Lost my respect in the community and with my friends/acquaintances/etc. It just isn't what I ought to be doing. Many of you have given me a lot of helpful thoughts or more and I shouldn't repay you like this.

I'm going to have myself temp-banned from LP and hopefully when that expires I will be a little more grown up. Of course I will still lurk lols, can't help that.

What's my problem, ugh.

im actually pretty excited about this being my first month at 25nl. i mean the profit is ok but im mostly pissed off about the final 5k hands. what a fucking downswing jesus christ.... i was running my sets into other sets, getting outdraw, people making sets on rivs. it felt like everytime id have a good hand i would either get instafolds from people or raised by utter junk monsters.... i think i was at a table for mybe 60 hands and over those 60 hands i had dropped almost 3 buyins with KK all ins... anyway it demolished my winrate pretty nicely tbh.

hope this month i can do better. i want to be rolled for 50NL hopefully. $1500 sounds ok for 50NL right now im floating around $900.

i was also 150 vpp away from getting gold star, i couldnt even finish getting it i was so frustrated at this game.

Well i haven't updated this peice of crap in a while. So since im in vegas by myself on small poker vacation. And in my room kind of bored... So anyway.

last month i barely played (only played live poker, not 1 hand online), but i still crushed and made 18k playing 5/10 live. ship it holla.

as for this month i also hardly played and made about 16.5k. Mostly live but i played some online to maintain supernova status. Also to practice i guess, since live can numb your perspective on what is abc is what is not lol. I'm gonna start playing more online again, I have been playing very good lately imo. The past 2 months have been a great joy to be able to take the time and refocus some and avert massive burnout. All night after my session today I have been feeling the fire burning again. So with my new found peice of mind and perspective on life. Added together with my further advancement in da pokar skillz. I am ready to put in the time and volume again. Last year although i failed at supernova elite, i did manage my biggest year ever at around 140k with around a million hands online. I also played a ton live and a decent amount of that money came out of the old brick and mortar. So hopefully I can put in that same volume this year.

Its actually kind of funny that I am listing last year as some sort of accomplishment as far as time spent playing goes. Because I only really played about 30 hours a week on average. Hardly a milestone in workethic... oh well i guess that doesn't include time spent watching videos and surfing LP in the nude.

Oh well lets see how often i update in the future. BTw im playing a bunch of starcraft2 lately. Im 3rd in my division (was when i stopped playing) and getting a decent feel for it after being TOTALLY anihilated at first.

ALSO i am addicted to call of duty MW2, another reason ive put in much less volume this year!

Just for keeping track

All NL50 6max rush pokerz

day1 1389 hands + 170$
day2 -
day3 1941 hands + 172$
day4 -
Day5 1185 hands + 188$

------------------------------

4515 hands + 530$ + 10 1/2 BI 11,7 ptbb/100

only thing i am a bit afraid is that i am aware ~ 6,5pt/bb is the maximum winrate u can establish even at such a low level as NL50 where everybody sucks.
still i hope this keeps going for a while

GL ALL

Sup guys, I'm restarting from NL5 and totally reworking my game based on just the Easy Game book so I dont level myself by watching tons of vids.

I'll be posting lots of hands from sessions with my thoughts based around applying the concepts from the book so if you think my thought process could be improved on any hands, please chip in.

Setting myself a pretty easy goal to play 20 hours of solid 4 tabling thinking poker for this month and also spending time to post hands and religiously reading and rereading chapters from the book. I especially have to watch my tilt and avoid playing more tables or wandering off to play hu sngs and other random stuff.

gl at the tables

only made like nothing. partly because i barely played. but that will change.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/9ad3b.lojlkjlkj.png

probably irrelivant but i started playing WoW at about the 5k or 6k hand mark. i only bought a month and i'm not renewing.

also got about 7k more hands that i palyed on my netbook but i'm too lazy to put the graph up.

right now i'm taking nl25 shots. still trying to get back to my former glory. heres to a month of running decent! (if that isn't too much to ask for)
