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.
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.

volume starts tomorrow (march goals)by whamm!, February 28
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
[x] Ive lost almost all of my roll
[x] Close to suicide
[x] Down to the micros
[x] Dont know how to pay the bills if i dont win in march
[x] Im really fucking stupid for not moving down faster
[x] Broke up with GF after 4 years of being together
[x] Panic
[x] Stress
[ ] Confidence
[ ] I have a SC2 Beta key
[x] I could really really need a SC2 beta key
it wasnt to good no
EDIT:
and also
i will never ever ever ever ever again 24 table, ive played so fucking bad this year 24 tabling, sure i got supernova but at what cost?
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
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 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).

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.

.10 -> .25 What should I expect?by Carthac, February 27
Been playing .05/.10 for a couple months now, and am winning with consistency to the point where I feel confident enough to move up. Roll started at $30 and im up to 350 now, but I do not plan on moving up til I reach 400. I believe 16 buy ins should be enough.
From my research, I have found the only difference people say there is between the two limits is that 3-4 bets occur more frequently, and the general skill of the player is a little higher. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me before I make the move up. Would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Well I have finally have had a good month in my career and I get to post results on LP WHOOP!! Started off the month with a $150 roll and at NL 10 and ended the month at NL 50. Now I just have to string together two decent months.
