Personal favourites except for the song above right now is probably "The French Inhaler", which may or may not be written about some girl he knew, and "Things to do in Denver when your dead".

So me and my roommate I am teaching SnG play atm have this bet running - he plays the 1$ SnGs I play the 3$ ones and whoever won more bi after 1 month wins!
He regularly plays nl25 and im currently low on roll (90% cashed out for expenses) so I am struggling around at nl25/nl50 as well.. so hey lets go for a change, might find the fun in SnGs back
- Instead of always sitting down to "make money" you change the object of the game, can be for instance.
*Today I want to try that new seat selection ting
- A tool, ideas to implement new things to the game. And this itself is right action.
Bankroll, under the heading of Right action
net worth (Everything)
poker bankroll (What you only play poker for)
pocket bankroll (What you have available at that moment.)
table bankroll (What's right in front of you, what you have in front of you.)
Thinking of it this way, is really healthy for your bankroll. These labels can be helpful making good decisions.
The purpose of your poker bankroll
"it's like buying mental insurance"
- What you need to avoid risk of ruin, and/or so you can keep on your A game, so you're never freaking out of going out of money.
Moving up
- Usually the minimum is 300BB or 20bi (Is a bit absurd.)
- There needs to be a range, so you don't move up, post the Big blind, then you don't have enough bi, and need to move down?
- Taking shots ? smartest to do strategically. So you decide the amount of "BI/BB" you want to use in that shot. Find out exactly how much you're going to take a shot with.
Moving down
- Moving down is just part of the game. Have to accept there will be big backward streets.
(Ideally we want to get to a place where we're not ashamed of it, but playing bad is part of poker, it's about accepting reality as it is.)
"Each day that we wake up, our bankroll is what it is, and it doesn't matter how it got there."
- Ideally you want to make a decision based on the size of your bankroll. Take the ego out of it, best you can.
This of moving up as a skill set unto itself. Think about the challenges that will be common to all of your move-ups, and prepare:
* You might not survive forever at the higher level. You might need to employ one of the vital skills for moving up, which is moving down.
Bankroll tilt: If you're one of the people who like to go higher stakes when you go on tilt, might be very smart to keep smaller amounts on that site.
Selections
* Site selection
- People have their own prefrance, the skin, the rake, the traffic, the software.
* Game selection
- Nl, razz, omaha, fixed, fullring, 6max, hu, tournaments so forth, smart to stick to what ur best at and excell
* Table selection, by way of rejection
- Find good games, and leave when they go sour
* Stakes selection
- all related to bankroll, what is your comfort zone, and where you like to play to keep emotional stability. Good idea to have 3 ranges, find the softest.
* Seat selection / and rejection
- This one is huge, important decision which makes a huge difference in the long run. You want TIGHT players on your left (flop seen %.) More important than having a loose player at your right.
- You don't want a complete maniac on your left
"Make your seat selection decisions as if the object of the game is to be last to act on as many streets as possible."
Live poker crap
- Look at your cards just when you get them, so you won't get in a sticky situation by looking at them when it's your turn and everyone is looking at you.
- Be ready to often look to ur left, to try and find out if he's going to bet, raise or call, really smart.
- Fast-roll is cool and smart if you're a good guy, slow-rolling is for idiots.
- Don't act super fast when it gets to you, breath think, then do stuff.
- Some people get more comfy wearing sunglasses and hats, if you do, that's fine, even though a lot of people are going to judge you. But you don't care about that.
Firstlessness
"Any player who consciously makes a move toward more firstlessness rates to increase their score by doing so." (At least a good experiment to try.)
"Don't chase your blinds."
Miscellaneous topics
Number of tables to play
- Live, smart to play just 1.
- If you know the number of most tables you can play, smart to cut down 1-2 tables of that.
Going pro
- It's a lot harder than everybody think it is
- For the people that it's right for, it's worth the risk, it's worth the pain
- Extremely personal topic, that's why so many people hire coaches.
Judge versus Evaluate
- When you encounter ideas, or things that happen, what other people do. You don't immediately think "that's right, that's wrong" You act above the act of judging, you observe.
Summary
- The best thing any player can do, is to sit upright, breathe. Literally puts a roadblock into the stream of unconscious thoughts that binds us to ego, cravings and desire. Helps us focus, concentrate and being mindful.
Some explanation of harmlessness at the deepest level in some buddhist thing
"When we harm ourselves, we are harming others, and when we harm others, we are harming ourselves." (Because we are all one, won't make any sense to a lot of people, but that's how it is.)
* If that's too complicated, start with, do no harm to yourself, don't blame yourself, don't be so hard on yourself.
Kind of FML for losing my whole month's earnings @ 25plo last night though
Oh well, No more poker until whenever I decide to start in Feb. Going to Six Flags tomorrow, catch up on some studying Sunday.
I hope you were all productive and had positive results in January, GL HF in February
[x] played 10/25 on a 1/2 table vs. some drunken maniac who was raising to 75 every other hand. i called preflop with KQs, flopped a queen, check called his $200 cbet and check/shoved over his $800 turn bet. he folded with $300 left in his stack.
[x] met blair hinkle at the beau rivage in mississippi and played a really fun 2/5/(10) game. the game was pretty crazy with him, me, and this other crazy asian guy on the table sitting with 3k-ish stacks.
[x] railed chris paul and the bulls play 2-5 in a private game.
[x] made 4k at 1/2 and 2/5 in 4 days
...
[ ] sat for a few hands of 10-20 with non other than amarillo slim at harrah's new orleans.
These last few days I've been reading up and studying, getting ready to start playing. I had a casual stint with poker a couple of years ago, but forgot about it after about a month. So I've been harmonizing and tuning up what I remember from back then, and I feel like I'm building up a decent grasp of the basics. Relearning it allover after such a long time feels like it's giving me a measure of clarity that I didn't have before. Plus now I'm completely committed to mastering it and making loads of money without doing disgusting honest-work @,@
It says the three big things that matter to be a winning player are:
a) Get in the habit of always playing your best, getting careless or cocky sets you back a lot.
b) To not spew money away by making glaring and obvious mistakes that you should know not to make.
c) Not to validate your opponents' bad play by paying them for their mistakes.
It was very inspiring so I set off to the tables with a passion. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way, and I lost a lot of cents doing it. I'm putting a sample here so I don't forget my lesson:
I was up +16BI and everything was going decently, was not makin tons of money or crushing the NL10 limit but I felt like I was learning lot while making profit too so its a good combination.
Yesterday, after 3 days off poker, I really wanted to put some hands in, was fresh, focused and ready to go !
-13BI in 1 session. I lost all my month profit (well almost) in 1 session.
Good point ? yes there is one, no tilt, not even affected since their was nothing I could do really.
2x nut flush beat by a boat
2x top 2 pair got river str8
3x AA didnt hold while AI PF
even have a boat beat by quads !
you know a night where nothing goes your way
I kinda rewatch my HS and I dont feel bad about it really, yea their is some spot I could have played differently but I dont think it would have change the overall outcome of the night.
Like some ppl said thats poker and every player get that kind of night one day, so their is 2 options atm
Call it quit while raging, beating my kids off and throwing my PC throw the window !!!
Or just suck it out, keep learning and grind it back...
Forgot about these 50 bucks that have been there forever... Along with 500 euros on NoIQ that i suddenly remembered this night for no reason, i was almost sleeping then it hits me: 500 euros = lot of drugs, holy shit !
For the tsf only reputable members obv, send me a msg if u can help me out with that ty
As I said in my previous blog, I have switched to PLO.
I just really enjoy learning PLO, whereas NLHE has become a grind for me.
Played 25plo and moved up to 50plo.
Running good but also confident that I beat these games consistently.
(Swings can be pretty ridiculous though as you all know )
Sucks that Rushpoker has made the games harder on FTP, but hey it's good practice!
I had "1K month" in the back of my mind for the last week so it's really quite awesome that I hit my pseudogoal the last day of the month (gone for the next few days).
Starting a BR from scratch at razzby hiddink88, January 28
Hey guys. I haven't had an actual bankroll for about 4 years now. However, since I'm recently done with school and all, I decided today to start playing poker again. One thing I've noticed is thanks to mass poker training websites, the profit margin at Holdem is too small for me. Even at microstakes people won't pay you off. It's just a bunch of blind stealing and I'm pretty sure I'm outmatched at postflop play. The solution? I'm going to play RAZZ exclusively. It's a pretty simple game, and I read the Razz chapter in doyle's super system over winter break so I should be set for 4c/8c on ps. My buddy halflinggenius lent me $5 and I played a session today.
after making 40 dollars in the past few days playing .02/.05 i proceeded to run terribad against idiot fish who ended up stacking me over and over today and lost 35
first time i've ever completely been on tilt to the point where i was just pissed

Ran massively above EV but I don't feel like I ran that amazing completely, or maybe I'm just deluded. For what it's worth I feel like this is just my EV evening out from 2009 . Either way I'm satisfied with the month, although this ends up being the worst january of my career (2008's January was +16k, 2009's January was +20k). Still though, if I can just clear 10k months consistently and hope to bink a tourney or two along the way I'd be amazingly happy and be able to hit my 200k year goal. I blame lackluster results on me spending a lot of time trying to figure out Stars' games and regs though, so hopefully I can do better in February now that I'm a lot more prepared for these games.
