February was a very legit month for me, as I rose up to new heights in my poker ''career''.So I started it with all the other sharks in the ''water''(refer to the graf down below). Well basically the whole month was a constant Grind up the mountain with only 4-5 negative sessions. Every day i tried to play only when I was well rested. I think i did a good job in that. I played about 55 K hands. I ended up touching new heights with my right hand by growing my bankroll +10300 $ (Rake included). I only played 1/2.

Sadly since i am playing at cake network and i still can not manage to get cake converter to work, therefore I can not track hands with HEM.

March goals:
*Shots of 400nl
*play 50K hands
*end the month +

Hello ppl.

I've been playin' seriously for the last year at stars, playin' a volume between 30-40k hands per month and I'm looking for a nice deal with rakeback. Currently playing nl25sh in stars, 4 tables.

If you need any other info, do not hesitate to ask.

Thx in advance

Haha I finally got to post some good results of Feb. And lol at all the "doomswitches" due after blogging. Well coincidentally, I kicked off March on a 18 buy in downswing at NL 50. At least I have a job now and don't have to stress about my bankroll getting low (along with the downswing I had to cash out $750 to fix my car). Damn and I wasn't even planning on playing today but I had an hour before I had to leave to go to work and dropped 5 buy ins in 30 mins.

Been on a nasty slide over the past 2 days. Not a lot of money, but lost 10 buy-ins, but only about 2 from tilt at the most.

Should I perhaps take a break from poker for a couple days to a week? Or do you guys believe in the grinding it out strategy if you are still playing somewhat well?

Not trying to bitch or anything, just wondering

Are there any of you in the LA/Riverside area that can tell me about the live games at Pechanga, Morongo, Commerce, and some of the other random casinos out here?

Winter holidays are over and I'm back to school. I spent a great deal of time relaxing, watching movies, hanging out with friends, etc. But these holidays were not only about relaxing. I learnt for my first driving test, watched some poker videos and did a couple of math exercises. I passed the driving test , I almost finished my math homework, but I played not as much poker as I had planned to. February was another lazy month in terms of poker. I might have improved when it comes to learning poker but I have definitely failed at putting more hours in playing.
I've got 2 months left to my matura exams and I'm starting to cram geography (hopefully) tomorrow. It will be harder to play more before May but who says I won't try. I gotta pull myself together and plan everything so that I have time for all things.

Coming back to the driving test. Now, since I have a driving license, it's obvious I'd like to have my own car. My friend told me to go with a japanese one but I'm not car-savvy at all so if any of you found a car costing up to 4-5k eur, let me know (especially if you're Polish and found sth on Allegro or wherever else online). Thanks in advance for help.

I guess you heard about chatroulette.com. I and 2 of my friends had a lot of fun playing jokes on people. The general idea was to make a guy strip and then turn our mic on, show ourselves in the camera (at first he could see only Aga) and laugh at him as loud as we could. Here are some screenshots:

Hope you enjoyed

hi guys
I'm gonna be playing the Brazilian Series of Poker from March 18th to 22th. The buy-in is R$1,200.00 ~ $650.00. The BSOP happens once a month in a different city every month. This is the first time I'm gonna be playing it. I'm not a tournment player, I play mainly cash games and I'm beating NL50 for the moment. In February the BSOP was held in São Paulo, the field was a little over 700 player and the prize pool was distribuited like that:
1º R$165.000,00
2º R$106.000,00
3º R$74.000,00
4º R$56.700,00
5º R$42.500,00
6º R$31.500,00
7º R$23.600,00
8º R$16.500,00
9º R$12.600,00
10º ao 12º R$9.500,00
13º ao 15º R$6.500,00
16º ao 18º R$5.300,00
19º ao 27º R$4.400,00
28º ao 36º R$3.700,00
37º ao 45º R$3.300,00
46º ao 54º R$2.900,00
55º ao 63º R$2.600,00
64º ao 72º R$2.300,00
73º ao 81º R$2.100,00

U$ ~ R$1.80

This month Rio de Janeiro is gonna be the host city.
I'm willing to sell U$300 ($30x10)
Results will be at www.bsop.com.br

I dont know if I have anyone to vouch for me... only thing I can say is that I'm a frequent poster here have a while (600 posts) and you can see by my previous blog posts that I'm beating the micros so I guess that will already give me an edge over the field.

Im here staying for 5 more days of my vacation at Thara Pathong Resort and Spa... Got bunch of pics but no mini usb connector to upload(( I'll provide with photos as soon as i move my lazy ass to nearby shop... I failed to download any poker clients here so any advices on how to deal with that are very appriciated. I know gambling is prohibited in Thai, yet I managed to win 1bi@5/10 in like 7 hands via browser party client.

I took up poker 3 months ago, torrented a poker book, and have been playing a lot live recently with friends.

Anyway my goal is to make at least $100 on pokerstars by summer without depositing. Does anyone know how microstakes compare to the higher echelons of play money? Not the cash games, but the 150000 6 max SNGs

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:

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.
