btw im having problems with motivation. I read in previous threads that spending money = wanting more money, giving you more motiovation to grind. I really dont spend that much money, since I dont really need much to live the way im living right now. What do you guys think about this? should i spend more money lol

I'm looking to get out of poker at least until the summer because engineering is hard! However, I only need 200 more FPPs on pstars to clear a $150 bonus. After that I'm going to withdraw some/all of my funds.

I have ~$275 on Cake that I'd like to exchange for $275 on stars since I don't play on ever playing at cake again. I will send first to known/reputable members. I'm known at teamliquid.net!

-thanks in advance

Im generally bad at cashgames, but still gave it a try. Since i had 50$ for a while i played a lot of nl10 to get the hang of it, then SUCCESFULLY transfered 200+ (ty lachlan!) so i played nl50 and ran pretty terrible but still had pretty cool result i guess

This is my first post!

I'll keep track of my attempts to become decent at Omaha here. This is my first attempt to maintain a bankroll. I have 7.8k hands of PLO5 logged so far. PLO5 games on Stars are deep stacked ($10 buyins), but hopefully that doesn't affect my play in higher stakes with smaller buyins. My goal is to get to $400 then move up to PLO10. Sitting at $140, long way to go.

Hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/791078 - Gotta get this all in given stack sizes I think.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/791082 - I only have second nuts, but I felt like this was ok to get all in.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/791084 - Villian stack size obligates me to raise/fold, surprised to find myself slight favorite.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/791093 - Interesting hand, as the villian I would probably go all in here too. The higher end of villian's OESD is negated by my higher draw which probably accounts for the odd difference.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/791097 - Villian is a fish, I was expecting a set.

Results:

735 hands
+$6.52
17.7bb/100

Summary:

Overall I'm happy with my play. I do play too tight compared to what various online forums have suggested, and even though I've been trying to 3bet more / play more hands, my sessions have me at 19/10 with very little std dev. I'm not confident with 2/3 barreling, I will probably lose a couple buyins experimenting with my reads.

Graph:

The sudden $20 drop at around 3.2k hands was due to some tilt that lasted exactly 2 hands. Even with those hands I'm at a good 16bb/100, without them I would be at 21bb/100. Hope I can keep it up.

This shit is so much fun. I will now play it exclusively. I've run some really cool bluffs. For example:

DISCLAIMER: this is a FTP$ / PS$ swap post

who wants to play, but you have no money on FTP!??

the rush games are a total fish fest. see fazi's post for reference (but hes also got skillz). and they'll only be this soft for 24 hours, until cardrunners comes out with a rush poker vid. this is the opportune time to reel them in.

also does anyone have any good table selection tips for Rush Poker?

I voted for a Republican Senate candidate in Boston, MA today... and we won. Maybe libertarian Republicanism isn't dead yet. Anyways it was nice to see regionalism fall apart a little bit, and it's always nice to introduce a little gridlock into the legislative process.

I have spring break from 2/27 to 3/7. The LAPC is wrapping up around that time, ending 3/2 I believe(the main event). I have heard the cash games are very juicy during the series. Will they be as strong near the end? I may also consider EPT Berlin which runs 3/2 to 3/7. Anyone considering either one of these?

This is one of those venting blogs that i need to write before i fukin kill someone.

I left FTP not long ago but decided to throw some money on there to play the rush games, which i figure will be fun plus im gonna make sick rakeback on top of what i win due to so many hands. Obviously FTP had not forgotten about me, and I came back just where I left off. FUKIN DOOMSWITCHED. I played 1.2k hands in about an hour and lost 5 buyins running 4 buyins below EV. THese are some of my favorites, some of these dont even factor in to EV just fukin coolers. TY FULL TILT U FUKHEADS.

JQ vs AQ on QQ7 board
A9 vs AQ on AA4 board
AK I 3b on btn and lose to a moron who cold calls from the sb with 77 and hits K72 rb flop
77 vs QQs on AK7sss
QJ vs 99 on QQ2 flop, all in turn 9
MANY FUKIN MORE JUST LIKE IT

PERSONAL FAVORITE

THis was just at the beginning of the session and I still kept my cool. Guy raises UTG and 3 people behind him call. I squeeze OTB with AQss, folds to the 3rd caller of the original bet, who decides to represent absolute SHIT and shove over my squeeze like a moron, I snap his face off and he tables 22, flop AQ2.


Glad i could get that off my chest, BUT I DO NOT FEEL ANY BETTER

Can you guys just give me some encouragement? tell me its not just me????

I really enjoyed it. Played for about 10 minutes but almost immediately I realized something. Since there are new players every hand couldn't someone just 3 bet every hand they play and take down at least 8/10 making a profit?

Was watching some old HSP episodes and noticed that Kaplan made a chilling prediction that came true
