How to not get scammed on paypal?by blackjacki2, January 07
I hear that you should never do a transfer with someone that wants to give you paypal money in exchange for poker money. Can someone tell me how this scam works and if it can ever be done safely? There has to be some time frame that I can have the money for that eliminates the possibility of getting it back? Anyway I need to make such a trade and I need advice on how to not get scammed because it's been said constantly on this board not to deal with paypal.
can't believe I didn't just not play the past 2 days instead of playing and tilting so much... its just that I only have until the 13th to grind seriously and then i may not even be able to play for a whole month.. so wtf.. I let myself play..and i lose another 10 bi
i erased the spoiler just cuz I'm feeling much better now
I was at this FR table and everyone left but one guy so I'm like oh kay, some HU would be fun.
the guy proceeds to fold his SB over n over, then i figured out he folds his BB to any small raise,
any only raises with QQ++ or AK or something like that. been watching the 2 table he/she/it's at and been doing the same thing
name : xritax at .02/.05 lol
was taking like 3 bi's off the thing till the table filled up
So there's almost a half foot of snow on the ground and it keeps coming over here in the Chicagoland area. I skipped class this morning since I have to drive about a half hour in a mustang to get there and there was basically no way I was going to do that, and I have the day off of work...so it's time for the first 12 hour grind session I've had since I started school since I basically am out of the house from 7-7 every day because of work and school.
After running really bad in SNGs I've grown pretty frustrated and am going to revise my January goal to win 40 in cash games at 2/5. I still think that's a pretty modest goal, and I fully intend on breaking through it. I'll probably update tonight with how my session goes...I'm only 1tabling right now because my br is so short that I can't really afford to sit in more than one. I've doubled up once already and hopefully I can keep the trend of going up instead of losing big hands
Played 8.6k hands today, the most I've done in a day. 12tabled NL5 for the first 3.7k hands then 20tabled whilst watching the MSL ro8. Then moved onto 9tabling NL10. Scored another winning session at NL10. Hopefully I can keep this up. BR finally over $500 as well.
During the past few days I've been working on my play, using the tips I received from my previous blog. My red line these days arn't as crap as before, so thats good. I've begun to see how important representing hands are, and how at times, it is really simple to see bluffs and make bluffs. Been stealing blinds alot more; its somewhere around 25%. I'm still having problems finding spots to 3bet
wanted to ask someone who plays WoW and is known member here -
I need to purchaes WoTLK and pay subscription for upcoming month, but my credit card is not available atm, so want to ask if there is someone who could purchase me this, i will send money on Stars... i will send first obv
One of my other ex team mates sent me some of our screenshots, posting them here again. Theres a ton more stuff in the blog below this if you like this sorta stuff. This is just a continuation.
So 2009 was a very lucky year for me, but not a very encouraging one.
Cash games I made ~$50k less than last year and played around 80k less hands, but ran like God.
However I probably shipped $30-$40k luckboxing the few tournies I played. Swapping 20% with Wobbly in WSOP ME also helped me break even for the Vegas trip.
I'm a student from Belgium, Flanders to be more specific. Been playing on and off for 2.5 years now.
About a year ago poker started to become very boring and frustrating because I didn't move up as fast as I wanted (went from 100nl to 2knl in 8 months). So I just quit. Then after a while I realised doing nothing is even worse then playing poker. But I needed motivation to start playing again so I thought I'd restart at the lower stakes and I also wanted to learn omaha.
Nowadays poker is fun again, and learning omaha is also very exciting (still a big fish at it tho).
My biggest interests in life are psychology, philosophy and politics.
My main concern is my success rate with Top Pair Weak Kicker or worse. I am assuming its J kicker and Lower.
What does this mean? Im guessing its a major leak? What can I do to fix it...in terms of my preflop actions and how I approach value betting marginal hands.
Hello every1 on lp, my name is jesus cuellar, im a mexican and a reg in the latin version of lp. i dont post comments or hands here but i usually read a blog, article, interviews, etc before starting a poker session. i´ve been telling myself to be more involved in the international version of lp so my game would improve and i decided to start this by making a blog
Actually i play nl5, passed thru nl2 winning about 20bis, then i won a donkament for about 250 usd, then passed thru nl5 winning about 12 bis.. i was still overrolled because of the tourney, decided to move from stars to ipoker and clear some bills, that left my br in about 210 usd and decided to move up to nl10(maybe worst decision i could make because im kinda scared money and like being a br nit, makes me feel secure).
I was coolered and batbeated time after time after time, entered a -8bis downswing with my ev only on -3bis... back to nl5 (actually 4) still on ipoker. i still have 210usd of br since i have a bonus in ipoker so im actually kind of even. im up only 3bis on nl4 (still buying in with 5usd).
When would you consider it is ok for some1 like me to move up to the next limit? ive read a lot of br management strategies and articles, but still would like lp guise who have passed through this to tell me their opinion
tl;dr im dumping graphs and stats gimme ur advice + Show Spoiler +
Ipoker stats (both limits shorthanded 6 max) http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/67770.ipoker stats.jpg
i would like special help on nl10, eventough my ev is not as bad as the actual graph it is still down, and noticed i have a huge postflop leak when looking at my red line
ill start posting interesting hands and comments on lp international
Struggled to win a hand all day today, 'n I have a lil bit of spew going on too. I didn't have any trouble playing a lot atleast.. 5k hands today. I have decided to take a different approach and instead of having a minimum daily hand requirement I will have a daily hand cap and goal for a while. for now Its at 5k.. lets see how much I play tomorrow.
I somehow managed to lose 10 buyins in nonshowdown in 5k hands today. Luckily only down 180bb though. I don't even know or care about wtf is going on atm.. just going to grind and try not to be tilted until I'm feeling better about things I guess. Just have to be careful not to bust or w/e haha
