Well February wasnt great but I didnt end up in the red so whatever. I actually only played about 2 weeks of poker in what was already the shortest month of the year. I started my full time grind on Pokerstars on the 7th, and I didnt get to play the last week cuz of internet problems. I had some crazy variance and I do not play a high variance style. I actually think alot of it comes from the high amount of short stackers flooding 50NL, im constantly in these 40-60bb pots AIPF. I ran slightly below EV but these days thats a win in my book, nothing to complain about. Im excited about next month, I plan to make March my bitch. I got a vacation planned for a week in Florida where I will play golf in the morning and grind online/live during the day. In only 2 weeks i grinded 5k VPP's so Im def going for supernova and Im shooting for 10k VPPS in March.

So heres my nutty graph, massive +13 month, plus 200 in bonuses.

Ran fucking good, decided to get HEM Pro because I couldn't import NL100 into SS edition and thus couldn't show off my sick graph.

Plus about $800-$900 in rakeback I think.

lolololol this is so ridiculous I'm giddy ^^.

Canada and the USA just played one for the ages. It was a great back and forth game and I think each team had a 50/50 shot of winning. The two teams took turns carrying the play and it was a very even game. Although the Americans tied it up in the third it was the Canadians who hit the post twice, had a breakaway, and just overall the better quality chances in the final frame. The Canadians should have buried the game there but got it done regardless. In the overtime the Canadians corrected the mistakes made at the World Jr. Championships by controlling the play and creating loads of scoring chances chances without giving anything up.

Canada comes through in the clutch and once again reminds everyone who's game you're all playing! GO CANADA GO!

Haven't blogged in a long ass time, so thought I'd write up an update for the month and will try to do so in the future as well.

February went pretty well. Pokerwise, I hadn't played poker in a while due to school and other obligations, but put in good volume this month and enjoyed myself. I've switched to STT's and enjoy them a lot more than cash games. I also did pretty well in sportsbetting for the 3rd straight month. I've been using my brain a lot more for my bets rather than just betting the team I root for, as I used to do.

Monthly totals:
Poker= 8% ROI, +3.3k
Sportsbets= +3.4k
Total= 6.7K

GL,

~3500 games between two sites.

Hello there!

I'm completly without imagination right now, just writing this entry to get the blog activated.

So, who am I? I'm Sceleratus (obviously not my real name, but let's call me that), an 18-year old male from southern Finland. My hobbies are music (I play bass), MMA and Martial Arts and various forms of poker.

I started playing poker a few weeks ago and I'm currently only trying my luck at freerolls so that I can learn how to read the game and such, but I'm thinking of depositing some money at Purple Lounge in March (it'd only be about 20-30€ since I'm a poor student, but that's a start I guess). I play mostly at Purple Loungesince the players there match my current level of experience.

I'm going to use this blog to post hands, general uninteresting events from my life and thoughts about recently played poker games. This blog will probably not be safe for watching at work or when young people are nearby since I tend to use really crude language when I'm irritated/angry/hungry/etc., that kind of language is probably what 95% of my poker thoughts will consist of.

Comments/Feedback on hands and such is always appreciated.

I wrote the most emo but actually semi-eloquent and true paragraph here but I replaced it with this sentence. And this next one.

After the whole tsunami thing yest, tomorrow will be the first time i "willingly" stopped playing and stuck to my plan for feb - which was to beat 50nl over 100k hands which i did and make some rakeback for 1k extra. i concierged and waited for the rb to come to strengthen my br further so now im sitting at 6k again after paying for my fast gaming computer rig whch i use for broodwar python 2v2 lol
ive prepared myself for this by setting up my hud again and my tableninja for some popups and stats for 100nl since it plays slightly diff from 50, and took a 4 day break which did me a lot of good and really felt like my goal for this year is to finally raise enough money this year to do a "maynard transfer" and just make this poker thing a supplemental income for buying stuff and a pure hobby. i know i keep saying it year after year lol. this time after last years shitty results i cant wait to finally quit this stupid game. gl to me and all lpers this march! do it!


goals for march:
*play 100nl
*play 10k hands a day or more if possible
*move down to 50 if i lose 20bi
*unrealistic goal is get 100kvpp or 350k hands
*win at the tables ffs

Stars lifetime:

6tabling in december
+ Show Spoiler +

24 tabling jan/feb
+ Show Spoiler +

just look at that redline, that is just pathetic bad stuff

how could i even come up with a stupid idea like that in the first place trying to 24 table when i obviously suck ass at it

never again

i just feel that im better then most of the other 100nl regs at this point, but im just wasteing my edge by 24 tabling, wich is just retarded, i dunno what is wrong with me. i dont wanna be a FPP whore i wanna improve my game and get to the high stakes evetually

i only played for about 14 months now, and i guess ive came pretty far after all? but i just wasted 2 months of my life doing this stupid shit

back to playing poker guys

+8.1k cash
+4.4k tourneys
+500 rb/etc.
= 13k month

I have a new coach, that I don't know if I want to out right now or not. I will probably in the future, not that it's supposed to be a big secret or anything. I've just been thinking lately that maybe I shouldn't disclose so much stuff in my blogs now that I'm a stars msnl reg. So maybe I'll hold off on that. I guess I don't mind outing my name though, it's [edited from the future]. If you've played with me or play stars msnl and just wanna talk about other regs, hands, anything feel free to pm me for my contact info.

Also I'm playing some SC2 beta on the side, I play mostly 2v2. add me panorama.teamliquid if you wanna play some 2v2s or something.

Going to Macau (like 4th time within 6 months) in a few days for the start of the 2010 Macau Poker Cup season . I've been doing pretty solid as of late and every aspect of my game (tourneys, cash, mental) has improved so I'm really excited for this year. GL all.

I went into the month with only one goal: To play only 4 tables.

Well, here is the graph:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/310c1.KEKE.png
Epic success!

I played my C game for about 4-5 hours this month in total - thats really really low compared to January.
It still did cost me a bunch of BIs this month.

Low tabling has also huge impacts on my off the table mood, as my brain doesn't get overloaded with the losing spots when I am tilting + running bad with more and more hands. Even when I lost 4 buy ins in an hour all because of pure tilt where I was feeling the usual desperation (on 4 tables), I stood up and completely forgot about it, my mood unaffected.

I used to be aggressive and grumpy, feeling worthless and had nightmares about poker when I hit a large downswing while masstabling for gods sake -.-



March
I want to get a decent sample size at NL50 to prove to myself that I can be a solid winning player there (tilt included) and then move up. I will go for 30k hand sample, should be enough.

I will keep 4 tabling, but throw in 6 tables here and there to hit the 7.5k VPP this month (Only some 4.3k VPP in Febn and 15k hands after purging my DB).



Gl in the Majors.

Amazing video, quite long. Lets just say, if you are currently anti-marijuana, you really should watch this video in all seriousness. People need to be informed.
