Pretty cool, didnt grind at all till the 16th, still made it to 3rd place at the sharkscope leaderboard. Also didnt have any losing sessions which is pretty kewl!
So I blew like 110$ in qualifiers and busted bubble so ridicolously often..
Last night I won a 215$ SCOOP ticket finishing 6th in WBCOOP-06 but that one cant be converted to a step4/million buy in ticket
I desperately tried to qualify but I cant really use more money for this..
I know I am not a big winning player and used to blow a lot of money away in MTTs, but after my break last fall I got a lot more into the theory, read MTT books etc. and my game improved a lot!
I dont play MTTs daily, but I already did 2nd in 20k 5$, final tabled 11$R, 8$R and yea..
Does anyone know how a canadian can sign up or work around with using the site? I am canadian and on the register page there isn't an option for canadian's. but i know some canadian's use this site so i'm wondering if anyone knows how they manage to do that?
May you live in interesting timesby DustySwedeDude, January 31
Ok so this is an summary of January and some goals I have for February. Haven't posted anything like this in a while cause the results of the last few months was to depressing.
Just going to play some MTT's tonight and then start grinding after midnight since I Unibet will give me a UO package for UO Bulgaria if I rake enough during the next two months.
Thus:
January
Profit: Much higher then my "goal" despite dropping 15k€ yesterday. With cashback and such it's still more then dubble what I needed to be on schedule. So that's good.
Hands: only 56k hands, which is much less then I wanted but since I had 4 exams and also been taking up BJJ 3evenings/week and some random Thai boxing I feel that it's decent anyway.
Overall play and such: I played good most of the time, had a couple of bad sessions and I did not follow my stop loss rules. I did, however, tilt less then normal. The last thing might be because of the fact that I was up a ton for the month most of the time. Overall decent play but bad discipline.
And so I've turned a big winning month into something of a failure, lol. Hard to feel to sad though, but I definitely need to work on it.
Goals in february:
- 80k hands, 2/4 and higher. Preferably mostly omaha. No 10/20+ 6-max or 5/10+ HU against anything but really soft opposition if I play more then 7tables.
- Keep a good Winrate (5bb/100+ at least) playing mid stakes. Play good when I happen to play higher.
Other then poker:
- BJJ or the gym 5 times a week whenever possible, the month is 4 weeks so anything 18 and over I'll consider a win.
- Continue to eat healthy. "Bad food" no more then once every week, preferably less, and no getting drunk. Only drink alcohol when social considerations dictates so (ie: hanging out with friends) and no more then twice this month. Preferably no more then 2 beers.
- Not fall behind in school (however, I study economics which is a big joke, so that shouldn't be a problem as long as I actually take 10-15 min/day and read the stupid book).
- Learn a decent bit of Yoga stuff.
- Help out with Intresting Times, a magazine about lots of fun stuff, and actually write something good for them. I wrote some fluff stuff that really sucked for the first or second issue but now it's starting to take off a bit and it actually contains some fairly interesting stuff. The "about" page says this about the magazine:
Interesting Times is a self-help magazine for extreme people, helping you survive and thrive in the cyberpunk future of today. Headquartered in Sweden, the magazine provides a unique perspective on the current age of possibility, where every new happening holds the potential for both disaster and groundbreaking success. The magazine aims to implement total world domination using a shock & awe toolbox of positive thinking, power armor and pornstar girlfriends, edifying the reader with an eclectic mix of interesting subjects including lifestyle design, preparations for the post-apocalypse, and the pursuit of superhuman fitness through batmanesque bodyhacking. Building better bad-asses is our main objective and we aim to please. The suck stops here!
Dude who's behind it is a really inspiring person who actually goes through with a ton of self improvement stuff and even though I personally suspect that he's a little bit of a crazy person with something in his brain working a bit different from most of I for one tend to keep an eye on most things he gets involved in because a fairly high % of it turns out awesome or hilarious. The rest is just weird.
I'll end this by posting some of the most notable hands of the month here. Some of them are fairly weird/fun/stupid.
Showdown rubixq shows,
Hero shows,
pelleri doesn't show,
MrDonovan doesn't show,
Hero wins $2176.10 USD from main pot
rubixq wins $1072.25 USD from main pot
Hero wins $1702.95 USD from main pot
Hero wins $777.00 USD from main pot
... When you win this one and still finds out that you're under equity the last couple of thousand hands you feel weird .
I can 24table NL5 with a 4BB/100 winrate. NL10 this month is ~5BB/100 over 10k hands 9tabling. Hoping to start NL25 soon after a few more thousand hands on NL10
What Tournies to Play Today?by exalted, January 31
Besides the obvious Sunday Million (and Turbo Takedown), between FT and Stars, what are some good MTTs to try to bink today? Since I'm in Taiwan, I will be flipping my sleep schedule in order to participate (its 10pm as of this post), and figure I should maximize my value by playing some more +ev (but actually -wallet) donkaments.
There should be a lot of good ones, seeing how its double guarantee week on FT. Any recommendations would be good. Buyin is flexible, 6max preferred but not a necessity.
Will fail prop bet in 1.5 hoursby Mikae, January 31
Well i'm going to lose my prop bet in 1.5 hours -
Recap: I needed to hit 2k br from 300 bux in january. Atm my br is 1.8k and i've comfortably moved up to 50nl. I'm pretty comfortable there and i feel my game has improved from leaps and bounds since my 30k hands of 10nl. Stopped playing because i got bad beat AA v JJ backdoor flush, which would have put me in a commanding position - 1 bi away.
Winrate isn't that great, i averaged like ~8 bux an hour over 120hrs this month. Rakeback and my deposit bonus of 250 helped out alot. My friend said i still had a shot and that he doesn't mind if i flip 200nl to see if i hit my target by getting lucky. Mmmmmm i thought about it, but nah, not really worth damaging my br for it. Tho mathematically, its paying 200 to win 300, if i get it all in pf. Ok odds i guess. Meh, i rather not tho.
Also missed my 2 outer in QQ v AA. *sigh* - i count this as a bad beat because i knew a Q was coming on the turn but it didn't. First time i didn't suck out on AA.
My poker goals for feb is to probably grind more 50nl, build br and i'll probably start 100nl in March when i start my job. Won't have as much time to spend on poker but i plan on leveling up with salutary while full time jobbing. LOL gonna work at where babs is working and hopefully bump into him and get him to coach us!
Edit: Noone flipped with me so i ended up the prop bet with 1754 (yes, i blew a 50nl bi lololol)
Omaha in general is an action full high variance game. Add in RUsh poker and that shit is bananas. B A N A N A S. I hope i get that gay song stuck in ur head. IN rush poker u skip all the boring hands and are only playing big hands. NOt to mention most pots are 3bet so its constant 3bet pots and constant swings. THe other bananas part is that your always fukin deep, my avg stack is like 400bbs after like 30 minutes on 4 tables. I ran like shit today over like 3k hands prolly dropped 6 buyins back. I did clear my 150 iron man bonus tho.
I got a bet going with my gf that I can gain 20 pounds by may 1st. I'll keep track of it here. ITs a friendly bet and the stakes are a new yankee jersey and tix to a game. We see about 10 games a year so Ill enjoy wearing the jersey and mentioning how i acquired that shiznit. Im 6 feet tall and 170 currently so 20 lbs isnt as easy as it sounds. Most of it will be put on in the gym and I just have to stay on top of my calories, at least 3k a day. Hard to do when you eat healthy tho.
Here are some amusing hands from todays session. Even a high stakes pro couldnt resist coming down to slap me around. BTW he was playing exactly how you would imagine he was playing at 25PLO, like he didnt give a fuck. Thatt 2nd pot is over 600bb's

january round up + buying sunday million actionby Robinson47, January 31
Shouldnt do a round up until after all the tourneys today but i woke up early and got an hour before football. Not played any cash this month mostly high stakes sit n goes and medium stakes mtts, happy with my end results after a woeful start.
Made 25000 vpps this month so made a nice slice of rakeback in the form of cuddly sharks and awesome hoodies. Going to go for 300k vpps this year.
Lookng forward to tourneys this sunday going to play most of the big grtees on stars and tilt, so that could be $2000+ off my months profits but im hoping it will be +$500,000 for me.
If any lowstakes player who have a ticket for sunday million and wants to sell some action i will buy action up to 50 percent depending on ability. Send me PM
played a £30 ($50) live tourney down casino came 1/32 got £360 back Only played for abit of live experience. Gambled £100 on roulette whilst i was at casino, got £1250 back. so was a successful night. Shame im down £20000 lifetme on roulette i would estimate.
Also lost ten pounds in january had lost over a stone but a heavy weekend has taken its toll, most of it was just christmas weight still a fat mother fucker but ten more pounds and im a 'healthy' weight according to the height/weight index thing.
Looking to sell action for the sunday million. I'm not really a good tournament player, but I guess I'm at least slightly +EV in this. In addition, I'm going to discount my action. 10% = $20
Since i'm rolled for 50nl and used to play it, my friend whose been sweating me told me to just stick to 50nl. He's been sweating me a lot and helping me with my game (he's a 2/4, 3/6 reg). And even though its a small sample im really confident with my game at 50nl right now and will stick to this limit. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/aea3d.50nljan.jpg
Running Really good right now though so that might be part of it. Waiting for the inevitable doomswitch. I feel that I'm playing really well right not but who knows I might just be running really hot and a luckbox.
