I'm always up for new things when it comes to poker. So thought I'd give this a try =] (At least a couple of sessions and see how it feels.)


The idea is that after every session, I have to look at these rules, and evaluate how well I did on each point. I think I'll rate with 1,0 - 10,0 where:

1,0 - 3,0 = Really bad, tilting, spewing, not stopping, everything horrible you can think of.

3,1 - 5,0 = Low end is pretty bad, spewy, a little tilty, unfocused, and to top range is autopilot, doing other stuff, not paying attention just klicking.

5,1 - 7,0 = Average bad reg is at low end, just doing ok'ish things, not getting stellar reads doing anything special, top end is making good notes, trying to catch myself each time i lose focus and refocus, not doing other stuff while playing, trying to be aware all the time so forth.

7,1 - 10,0 = From playing really well to playing your absolute A+ Game, edge of your seat, noticing tendencies, valuebetting like a god, being in "The Zone" playing the best I can with the skills I have.



The rules

* How well you played overall

* Quality of your thinking

* Quality of decisions

* Number and size of Mistakes

* Quality of focus ("The Zone", autopilot, distractions, boredom.)

* Length of the time spent focused and playing well

* Length of the session

* Ability to manage emotions, focus and thinking

* Ability to work through a tough mental or emotional spot.


I know that some of these you can't really rate, but I'll rate the one I can. =]

Oh well, fun food for though nonetheless.

My day:

By popular demand, I will attempt to detail some intriguing tales of my life if there are any during the day.

Roommate started playing The Sims 3 at 11pm yesterday, I slept at around 1:30am, got woken up at 2am, 4am, and 7:30am and he was playing Sims each time I woke up. I left for work at 10am and he's still playing Sims. I come back from work at 5pm and he's simulating.

No idea if he slept or not, he's too absorbed in his game for me to find out.

Hands:

Sick heater continues.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/793201 - $7.75 - I can't really fold to the raise on the river. Might be a bad idea to 2 barrel a short stack but it seems profitable since people will fold 99% of the time.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/793199 - $21.30 - Basically the best flop ever for me and the guy liked his 3 pair / straight draw, luckily for me.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/793177 - $0.82 - I'm a 62% favorite in this 3 way all-in on the flop, and the 5% to win gets his 1 outer on the river to nab main pot. Then again the king does help me win side pot so I can't complain too much... Moral of story, top pair + draws is very strong against people showing AA/KK strength preflop.

Results:

1224 hands
+$32.12

Summary:

This seems way too easy, am I just extremely lucky?

Hello there LP,

I am a former StarCraft player has been playing poker seriously since last July. I picked up poker mainly to see how well I could do and also as a source of supplementary income as a college student (I actually don't plan on cashing out until I graduate unless I immediately NEED the money). By no means do I consider myself a serious grinder but my passion to improve in the game is genuine. I do not have any personal attachment/need of the money in my poker account so am not afraid to lose it for the purpose of learning. I've lurked on LP for quite some time and I thought I'd start a blog to keep track of my progress as well as have a place to record my thoughts.

About Me:
I attend university at USC(freshman) and through playing for our CSL team have met two awesome members of the liquid community LosingID8 and Day9. I'm majoring in Business Administration and am doing well in my studies right now (huge priority over poker). However, this semester is going to be rather easy and I think I can put in a good amount of hands. I'm very comfortable just 4 tabling normal and 2 tabling rush poker and am not planning to ever mass table/robot.

My poker progress:
Started playing SNGs on FTP starting from $120 roll in November of 2008. FTed some $1-$3 tournaments and proceeded to piss a ton of money at 10nl. My roll at that point ended at about $100 and I decided to quit for a while. About six months later, after getting back from a trip to China, I picked up the game again at 5nl FR in July. In August, I switched to 6max for 10nl and built my roll to about $300. After fall semester began, I took a break from hold'em and played a ton of limit stud8 games starting from .5/.10 up to 2/4 and some thousands of hands at 10/25 plo games. Diving into the different games has helped me build my roll to about $900 and has benefited my overall thought process + approach to online poker. I've been playing 25nl since mid-January and my roll currently stands at 1.1k.

My primitive thoughts on the commonly perceived "games are going to be impossible to beat":
Paralleling any sort of major competitive game, poker has gone through evolutions of game play. If we look at how StarCraft has progressed, there have been many times when a certain person/strategy was dominating the scene and left no hope for other gamers. The first thing that comes to mind is the period of sAviOr's dominance and the claims of ZvP imbalance. He had just destroyed Protoss's last hope Nal_rA in the MSL semifinals and was in a position to ezroll Bisu for the gold. What happened? Bisu took an innovative approach to the game and developed a sair/DT strategy that sAviOr could not possibly have expected/practiced against. The same can apply to poker. No longer are the games as easy as the old party poker days, but that only means that the player pool is shifting towards a different type of player (regs who have a solid foundations of how to play tag/lag). The importance of the redline at the mid-high stakes is becoming ever more important, which means that in order to survive you must adapt and have better redlines than the competition while still balancing the blueline. It is in the hands of each individual player to better themselves and develop plays and strategies that can counter the popularized "standard plays."

This concludes my introduction for the LP community and I hope you all accept me with open arms.
If anyone would like to befriend me/become a poker buddy feel free to PM me so we can exchange messenger info.

24 tabling 6max PS last 3 days
+ Show Spoiler +

So i started out the 10th january for the supernova chase w the goal to play 100NL only.

Started out playing Fullring, god its been so tilting..
Fullring made me crazy, and i played breakeven FR for 100k hands, only gaining 30k VPP's, took me about 75 hours..

See graph below:
+ Show Spoiler +

4 days ago i had a gay -20BI FR session and i was so tilted i decided to shut down this stupid supernova challange.

The next day i started playing 6 tables of shorthanded again and it went great, so i though lets try 14 tabling, it went even better. so i tryed out 24 tables pretty fast, and have been playing that these last 3 days "fulltime".

I earn ALOT more VPP/hour, and 6max feels so much more like a homefield compared to stupid FR.

Im now at 40 000VPP, gaining almost 200VPP/hour more playing SH compared to FR
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/18c4cf1e2b42f4961f1200119e3e7a4f.jpg

Im almost halfway, im not to happy with only 2k in earnings for so many hours, and only being +2k due to a sick SH heater the last 3 days, i run like sick good. its sick really..

And had BE results at FR over 100k hands feels kinda fishy, but w/e, im not a 24 tabler for realz

In on phase, actually 2 days ahead of my schedual.

I will prolly continue playing SH until i go on a big downswing cuz of the nice 600ish VPP/hour playing them, it will only take me 100 more hours getting supernova

And playing 8-10 hours/day that is less then 2 weeks, so. its close now!

After i get supernova i will continue with the 200NL improve my game jadda jadda jadda shots.

But we will see, ull never know, maybe i will end up going for the 200k VPP milestone/FPP bonus right after i clear supernova ^^

or maybe go for a 100NL supernova elite maniac?

We will see! : - )


thanks for reading and gl!

Today is the best day of my life, please listen to my story.

I woke up and was naked, unsure of what the fuck happened and very curious as to whether i was victorious. I took 21 shots last night! I drank an entire fifth of jager + 4 shots of some nasty ass tequila, i had no idea that there was only 18 shots in a fifth... that's a joke. As i said though, i woke up and asked someone who spent the night if i did it and he said "yeah man, you took 22, great" I fist pumped and laughed as i jollily walked drunk through my house. I instantly decided that the day can only be topped off with steak, so for the two lucky people that spent the night at my house i went to the store and bought 3 steaks and a forty and cooked steak + mashed potatoes. Then I talked those 2 people into going to the casino and I turned like $20 at a blackjack table into a HUGE stack of chips ($300+) and lost it all when the dealer changed to someone who is in my family who i was "positive" couldn't "fuck" me LOL. I bet 4 times, each time doubling my bet and lost it all in 4 hands, LOL, he fucked me. I bought beer at every store we went by, one store wouldn't sell me beer because i was "too drunk" LOL. They said "happy birthday, but i can't sell you beer, you're wasted" LOL.

my life is a goddamn mess, i don't know what the fuck but today was undoubtedly the best day of my life.

Cant believe the Vikings lost. They played like fucking shit and still lost by 3 in OT. 6 fumbles? 3 in the redzone? We should've won by ATLEAST 3 touchdowns. So depressing.. Would've been great to watch Brett Favre smash faggot ass Peyton Manning in the superbowl. So sad, Adrian couldnt even hold on to the football, he made some good plays late but it wasnt enough ahhhhhhhh. so fucking raged.

Hihi everyone! This is only a brag and not really a big update, mainly cause I dont have much to update about. Im not playing alot of poker at all these days, just when I have the time and feel like it and those two rarely corrolate I feel. Anyways I noticed I had 450 bucks sitting on stars today so I registered for the sunday mill and the 50k hu trying to kill some time. Lol-busted out of the million but went deep in the 50k HU, faced a bunch of random donkeys and eventually shipped the thing for 14k.
