You know when you shouldn't play when you 3bet AK, bet and board comes AxQT against a very nitty player.
You are 4tabling and think long about every decision.
You know that he wouldn't bet any hands you beat, so c/f is the best option. So you check, and he fires a large bet.
Everything goes by the plan, you laugh at the nit. You look at HEM popups for a bit to pretend there is something to think about before you fold.
But you don't fold, you shove instead into his AT, and just stare at the screen in disgust.
Not a bad start to the year.by dingking, January 16
I know 10k hands isn't much but i only 2 table at the minute sometimes 3 in happy hour on ftp but i find i can focus better on 2. Havnt got to play every day either.
Hopefully will be able to keep this up for the rest of the month and take some shots at NL25.
3buyin stop loss now so i dont go crazy like hands 2600 ish after i get coolered and go on monkey tilt.
Together $1 million is possible!!!!!by k2o4, January 16
As many of you saw in my previous blog post, the non-profit organization I've been working part time for (PeaceJam Foundation) made the top 100 charities in Chase banks give away on Facebook, which shipped them 25k. Round #2 just started (only lasts 1 week) and the top 100 charities are competing to win $1,000,000. First place ships the million and the next 5 ship 100k. Pretty sweet.
So I'm calling on the poker community for help - please log onto Facebook and vote for PeaceJam, and then invite your friends to vote too! I truly believe that with the poker and starcraft communities working together we can take 1st place and get some money to deserving charity that will do lots of good with it!
You get 5 votes and can only vote for each charity 1 time. Voting ends in 1 week! Below are some links to the PeaceJam website with more info for those of you who wanna do a thorough vetting process beore giving out your vote =)
of time! Spent hour and half doing nothing but browsing shit on the internet that has no use at all to any productivity or amusment. Could have been grinding. Hard fail. Time to get out of house and get some shit done. Then back here to grind some hardcore shit all day.
I take photos. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about integrating paypal into a web gallery for selling prints? I'm pretty clueless at this.
There are lots of sites that do this automatically in the US, but for Australia there isn't any... Atleast that are decent anyway. So I want to create my own and print myself and send them out myself.
Since I'm playing on both sites, I had to use HEM to combine the results of my Stars and FTP accounts. The "minutes played" tab is pretty off; I only played about 90 minutes per session. HEM seems to have added the times together or something.
I withdrew about 2k in the past week for various reasons, but I finally decided to spend some money for luxury purposes. Here's what I bought:

Hey guys, I have achieved certain goals that I have set for myself as far as poker profitability, skill, and game understanding are concerned. I have been playing poker as my sole source of income since I was laid off at my job in finance two summers ago. At that time, I was playing NL50, which made it a less than ideal time to start, to say the least. Since then, I have played significant amounts at up to NL600 online and up to 5/10 NL live and have gotten to the point where my poker income and my confidence in my ability to improve are such that I do not intend on seeking another job. I use the extra time and freedom I have thanks to playing poker to pursue my two main hobbies, which are competitive swimming and writing. As a mandatory part, here is my graph over the past 150k hands:
As of right now, I will be offering lessons to players up to NL200 6-max. I will focus on correctly using opponents' tendencies and detailed stats to identify ways to exploit them. In the process, I will also take a look at what stats the student uses and make suggestions as to how optimize their HUD and which stats to pay attention to. This will apply to making plays that many players, especially struggling ones, at NL200 and below have trouble with, such as floating, 3betting, responding to 3bets, multiple barrel bluffs and value bets, as well as making correct folds.
At this time, I will be doing only individual lessons and lesson packages, though that may change later. I will set my hourly rate in subsequent posts. For now, since this is my first coaching offer on this site, I will offer a first-time special. I am offering one two-hour session for $100. We will start off with a short discussion of the student's game and areas that he or she wants to focus on during the lesson. After that, we will do an hour-long play session where I will observe the student play. We will conclude with a final analysis of the session with specific attention given to the areas the student wanted to focus on at the outset. If we run over the allotted time, I will obviously not expect any additional payment. Finally, if the student wishes, I will offer another one-hour session for another $50, either right then or at a later date, where the student can sweat me 4-tabling their stakes and commenting on my play.
Since this is a good offer as far as poker lessons go, I will not pick the student on first come first serve basis. Instead, I will pick one person from those who respond to this as well as those who have already responded to my previous post.
If you are interested, send me a PM and include the following:
-What stakes you play (up to NL200) and a brief summary of your poker history.
-Your own honest assessment of how you are doing.
-Your poker goals for the next few months.
-What you hope to gain from the lesson.
Finally a few administrative details:
-The lesson will take part, preferably, early in February.
-Payment is due immediately before the start of the lesson. I will accept Stars or Full Tilt transfer.
-We will use Skype to talk and screen-sharing software so that I can see what you are doing, so make sure you have a microphone (duh).
So after grinding the no deposit bonus at Absolute Poker, I find out I have to deposit first in order to withdraw. Looking for someone to transfer my Absolute Poker money to for Full tilt Poker ~770. Will use credible escrow or if you're a reg with credible references I will send first.
Hoping there isn't a mandatory deposit to transfer.
just reuploaded a couple grand at stars to play 100nl again (felt dirty yes) but i felt that rebuilding from 10 or 25nl was not working out for me although i did get to 1k at one point and just ran bad at 50nl plo losing 4bi asap then proceeded to be mindfucked/tilted at micros, lingering and just dicking around playing all sorts of limits spewing coz i felt everyone was an idiot and got so tilted when they berated me lol. results were i just wasted alot of time not going anywhere.
wire transfer just sucks at stars coz you have to constantly email them even after the 4 working day timetable they give you coz they dont give a shit and have a lot of work they attend to, so now im really doing stupid shit shortstacking underrolled plo , losing money, winning it back , then going to micros and spewing all that then rinse repeat the whole process. one thing this whole experience taught me is NEVER withdraw too much to hurt you online and just rely on "rebuilding" from scratch. admittedly after 3 years i have no more experience/patience nor love for poker to grind micros again and rebuild. so once i get my roll back up with the wire ill be starting at 50nl FR and some PLO, then just leave enough for that at the minimum and never leave a microstakes roll. but at least it gave me enough time to fix my table setups with tableninja and HEM and did a dry run of megatabling again and seemed to be easier now and im quite excited to be back at grinding tons again.
atm im running really bad downloading movies, ive prob watched 10 bad movies straight past couple of days
