| | Another positive session by halflinggenius, January 22
Most hands played in a session so far, 1.2k. Was 7-8 tabling.
Hands:
Lots of losing hands to consider today.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/792133 - $8.02 - Slight underdog here. Okay at these stakes since people will often have trash hands / weak draws I think.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/792129 - $10.02 - Bad beat.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/792159 - $11.65 - Thought I could bluff him off. Probably not a wise play but his turn raise made me think he hit the straight and wasn't on a flush draw, hitting straight with a flush draw would probably just call I think.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/792161 - $6.16 - Blah, don't know why I called river. I guess I didn't expect a two pair or a set to play the way villian did.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/792162 - $24.57 - Was scared of set, turns out I'm dominating.
Results:
1232 hands
+$8.65
Summary:
Played slightly looser (played more 3 card broadway + x hands etc), worked out well overall I think. Got a lot more action and if it weren't for bad beats/good rivers for villians, I'd be up more.
Graph:
I'll be honest I don't think EV line for Omaha given by HEM is an accurate indicator of luck. There's a large number of reasons that people smarter than myself have posted online, so google if you're curious. Either way my allin luck was slightly bad today.

| | Ideas by TheTank, January 22
I just downloaded ftp because of the rush poker craze that has struck. I'd like to put $50 onto the account, however, my debit/credit card is being declined. I'd like to start playing tonight if possible, i don't want to wait a week for the instant "e-check"... Are there any ideas that i am not thinking of?
I don't mind depositing $50 onto stars and then doing a transfer but unfortunately i'm paranoid of scammers, so one stipulation is that i would like you to transfer first, but i seriously doubt anyone would be willing to do that. I am willing to take screenshots of anything you want to make sure it's legit.
edit: obviously i'd put the $50 onto stars before i asked you to send it to me and take a screen shot to prove it, etc.
ideas?

| | Fee's Robusto Guide (notes) by Mariuslol, January 22
I always have loads of pages saved up, so I never close them. But the list was starting to get so long, I have to close some of them, And some of the really good poker articles I don't like closing, so I just took the important notes of one of them, and paste it here, so now I can close a few more. =]
Enjoy
- The key is using your time efficently and becoming consumed with the game.
- If you are just starting out play 2 tables. After you become adept at ANALYZING hands move up to three. If you cannot analyze hands at 2 tables go to one table. After you master three tables move to four. DO NOT MOVE BEYOND 4.
- if you can follow this piece of advice you will be in good shape, the biggest leak/cruch of unl-SSNL players is their penchant to multitable. You will never learn anything playing that many tables, learning the game has a FAR greater value than any RB/bonus/hourly of grinding SSNL ever could.
- Review your sessions! You need to know your game AND your opponents game. Get used to analyzing your play with an opponent and the dynamic you guys create (obviously this requires pokertracker of some sort). This isn't as important until like 100-200NL but knowing how to do it is crucial because this is what actually makes you think deeply about how to play hands and your overall game plan.
- Play SOLID. Do not run any type of big bluffs until 400NL. Just that simple, do not make moves. You will be extremely tempted constantly to run the bluff, the more in control of this urge you are the faster you are going to moveup, plain and simple, these guys are waiting to give away their money, you just need to be patient and understand how to play solid.
- Playing solid is what poker is all about, you need to know how to play every situation without reads in a somewhat nitty/conservative manner so that you avoid spewing and making horrible players (bluffing a station, checking vs a weak tight, folding vs a spewy aggro monkey)
- Think of poker like a road, while you are going striaght you are playing your solid ABC game, later down the road you will turn left/right to adjust to your opponents game, but for the beginning of sessions/early levels play solid and aggressive and you will do just fine.
- I wish I could go back in time and just avoid using a HUD and play 4 tables and focusing with decisive reads, but alas I cannot, don't use a HUD, focus on your opponents line and what hand (s) he is representing and how he plays certain hands, where he is weak and where he is strong, this is far more valuable than knowing a regular is 20/17 or a fish is 40/2.
- EV graphs, won $ at showdown, showdown winnings, all that is bullsht just ignore it.
- Tilting. This is the hardest thing to handle, basically if you can play solid and not tilt you'll play 5/10 in like 8 months tops if you work almost every day. For everyone its different how results effect you and how you deal with it. One thing I can tell you is that one day you will, no matter what run worse than you ever thought was reasonable, logical, mathematically possible.
- just be constantly aware that poker is going to kick the **** out of you and you can take it kicking and screaming or take it like a man and rough it out.

| | BUSTO @ LIFE by tutz_x, January 22
hi guys
first let me introduce myself for those who dont know me. my name is Arthur, I just turned 20 and I live in Brasilia, capital of Brazil, away from my parents that live in antoher city. I live by myself since june 2008 working for the brazillian government at the morning. the payment is great, I can afford a very nice life, nice car, nice friends and stuff. to get that job I had to be aproved on a test where there was over 1k ppl/job applying, so I'm really the hard-working kinda guy. I started grinding online poker in august/2009 and I'm currently playing NL25/NL50. poker has always been good and thats not why I'm blogging this.
other than money, my life has never been very good. I seem to atract the wrong girls all the time, its just like a very sick bad run. last months my life has been shitty and everything seems to be going the wrong way. due the fucking hard depression I'm suffering I'm gonna start psycho-terapy tuesday 26, gonna get a license from work cause its kinda impossible to work with my current state of mind. I'm starting the treatment with a antidrepression medicine called Amitriptyline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitriptyline . the treatment is supposed to last 3 months. wish me luck!
sorry if the english is not the best

| | FR or NL50? by Sicks Macks, January 22
I love Rush Poker, it's really got me enthusiastic about poker in a way I haven't been in a long time. I guess I was always paranoid about being played back at or exploited, and now I get to play without that stress. I run much bigger bluffs than I normally do, because fuck it, only 1 guy tops is going to see me be a monkey. Stylistically there's some other cool stuff that I get to do comfortably that I couldn't do otherwise, though I don't really want to talk about it yet. On the practical side, Rush allows me to get in enough hands to fight against variance even though I work full time, ski weekends, and generally never have time for poker. So long as games continue to run, I don't think I'll ever touch the normal stuff again.
The thing is, I want to 6-table this bitch (8, maybe, someday...). I'm definitely playing 4 tables of NL100 6-max Rush, but what should I add for the other two? NL50 is a little small for me, but I'm much more comfortable with the table dynamics than at FR (must... not... fold... jacks... pre... must... 5-bet shove). I know (hope?) none of you know my particular game well enough to give specific advice, but what are people's thoughts about mixing FR & 6-max? Is it easy enough to figure how to play the first 3 positions in FR? Does folding AQo UTG hurt every time you do it, or do you get numb to the pain?

| | 1 year of NLHE by Uptown, January 22
Haven't played since November, which puts my playing time to roughly one year.
Unfortunately I no longer have the time to commit to improving my game, which has really sucked the joy out of the game since the improvement process was what really had me hooked. I have to be grateful that I have a job that allows me to be (hopefully) financially secure, even though the hours are truly brutal.
I managed to go from NL2 to NL100 when I was 100% committed to learning the game, so I can take this fact, and the few K I managed to rakeback pro  .
Lost most of my gains towards the end as I started sucking and running bad as well, and it definitely helped that I managed to bink LP fantasy baseball
I still love the game, but I'm convinced it's the right thing to do.

Goodluck everyone! Wishing you the best~

After a good start to the year finally at a comfortable stage to move up to NL25.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/55bd3.graph.jpg
I've only really taken one shot before and it was a bit ago and decided to just grind NL10 a bit more.
Anyone got any advice/tips for it?
Will all be useful and appreciated! Thanks!

| | January Update by veryGUd, January 22
Po po po poker has been going pretty well. Having some spew issues, calling strong lines too lightly, knowing already but trying to remember that people don't polarize their hand ranges with strong lines. Also sometimes when I am not planning out my hand I get rushed into a decision and end up making a mistake(usually calling too much). Fairly happy with the progress i'm making, feel like I am doing a good job preparing to play well everyday, and trying to focus the entire time i'm playing, not checking facebook, turning off IM, not checking HEM until i'm done with the session. One concern is my redline has tanked last 12000 hands, but I played a 4 table session to check my play and lines i'm taking and everything seemed fine. Goal is to be playing .5/1 fairly regularly, by the beginning of March. http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6186/januaryupdate.jpg
