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.

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)

Rush is nuts

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

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.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/31cd0.jan2010stars.png
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/42ef4.janfulltilt.png

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.

10k games on pokerstars now according to sharkcope!

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

20% Robinson47 (confirmed)
10% Panorama (confirmed)
20% Yeshboom (confirmed)

January was fun. I started out pretty much only playing 25nl, which is impossible:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/f426a.25nljan.jpg

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.

Overall

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.

TSL has reignited my passion for sc! Who is up for sc bet games? I'll wager $5-$20 per game, up to 5 games. I play protoss or zerg, sometimes terran too, but almost always P or Z. Write in here, or send a PM if you're interested.

Any Omaha grinders wanna exchange AIM/MSN names so we can chat about hands/strategy/spots etc. Not looking for a coach or someone to coach, just someone around my level, at least a breakeven player at PLO25 - PLO100 level. I'd also prefer someone that almost exclusively plays PLO.

About me:
I started playing Omaha 2 X-mas's ago and started online with a $10 bankroll at PLO2 in January '09. Moved up to PLO25 in May and PLO50 in July. I've been on a crummy downswing (20 buyins) since last Thanksgiving. I play on PS and FTP if that's relevant.

Anyway send me a PM or something if you're interested.

I guess I'm pretty happy with January.

Took 4-5 stabs on 50nl, but lost a few buy ins each time, I went down to 20nl, and grinded up again, and repeated.

But it went pretty well on 20nl. Here are my stats. Still struggling with having a negative red line, dunno why. Feel I keep emptying the clip, grrr.

(ok, nvm I can't seen to upload image, it just keeps loading, nothing's happening, and the imageshack adress I used either changed or got removed.)


BB/100 = 3.8 sample size 30.000 hands, 5 tabling 20nl, 70hours


Other goals were pretty good too, maybe spent 40 hours or so this month studying poker, read a few books, lots of articles, maybe watched 12 video's and gotten a few new LP friends on msn.

When it comes to training, I went to the gym 7 times, 8 if counting tomorrow, and a few trips just walking. So pretty happy with that too =]

I'm about midway through my first semester of Freshman year at my college.

I really feel like I've hit rock bottom because lately, I really don't know how to deal with problems revolving around my roommate...

It started out as a pleasant experience. My roommate was a pretty cool guy, if a bit on the nerdy side. I, on the other hand, am kind of stupid in school but I consider myself a pretty athletic guy and I'm on the baseball team and the hockey team in my college.

Yeah, as unlikely as it seems, we got along really well in the first weeks of college. I brought him to my baseball parties and he helped me with my calculus homework. It was a bit of a mutual relationship of sorts.

The trouble all started when he started going out with this girl who also goes to our college. Her face was average looking, but she had some nice looking set of tits and she was also decently intelligent - smarter than me at least lol. Anyways, my friend and his gf seemed to have great chemistry and the two of them were going out for well over a month while I just hung around parties and hooked up with random chicks.

One day, my roommate's girl walked into our dorm and asked me where he was. I replied that he was at the library printing out an essay. Strangely enough, I began to feel attracted to her. It wasn't that I was in love or anything, just that I hadn't gotten laid in quite a while and was feeling understandably horny in the presence of a female.

I decided to go for it. We talked mostly about sports and I filled her in on my favorite hockey team the Sharks. She seemed to be pretty interested (and understandably so since my roommate doesn't know anything about sports) and after a while, we really started hitting it on. I guess she was impressed with my California tan and I was kinda impressed with her tits.

One thing led to another, and we eventually had sex. Immediately, I could tell that this chick was no good and it was no surprise when I found out that she still had her v-card. Admittedly, she "tried" to get into it, but I really didn't enjoy it that much. Afterwards, I breathed a sigh of relief. If my roommate was going out with her for a month and still hasn't had sex with her, then chances are he never would have so that makes me not guilty of anything.

Now, we promised each other that WE WOULDN'T TELL ANYBODY, and none of us did. However, my roommate is like a freaking genius and started sensing a tension in the air after about a week or so after the "incident". He confronted her, and I guess she broke and told him the truth (God, why did I trust her?). Eventually, she comes running to me for support. I really didn't know what to do in that kind of situation so I just kinda brushed her aside for the moment while I tried to recollect myself.

But things started getting nasty with my roommate. He started shoving me in the halls and every time he walked by me and when I asked him, he wouldn't respond. In fact, he stopped talking to me altogether and now I'm failing calculus because I can't do my homework without his help.

Yeah, I really don't know what to do right now. I guess the relationship with my roommate is kind of over but I still don't know what to do with this chick. I mean, she suddenly thinks that I'm going to be her new bf and offer her support but I really don't like her very much.

How can I dump her in a sensitive way so she won't do something crazy like have a breakdown or something? And also, I want to make it look like she dumped me rather than I dumped her because she's kind of popular around campus and if she makes it look like I dumped her, then it will hurt my chances with other chicks in my college. How do I dump her?
