Warning, newb math here (been a long time i've not done math)
I'm only silverstar statut, so here's the deal :
How much do i need to win the 280 fpp hyper turbo S&G (6max) in order to make more profit than the 25000 fpp for 285$ with selling T$ to LP (forget the additionnal vpps for clearing the 285$ bonus) ?
With my maths, i need to win 1 time out of 3 in order to make profit but i'm not sure if i've made it right.
Plz feel free to correct me. If needed i'll ship 5$ (i'm a nl5 grinder, it's not much but hope it helps)
alternative software for ipod video halp?by whamm!, January 03
I've have a 3 year old ipod video which i barely use for songs and vids coz i cant understand itunes at all. i hate how fucking complicated things are when all i realy wanna do is fucking drag and drop shit like a regular computer. is there any other software out there you guys know of which can simplify/convert-real time everything?
Little late getting to my year end results, mainly because I didnt even bother looking. But after deciding to do so, I think I actually have something to be proud about.
And hey, look at that, only -8BB/100, so not like I was a total donk out of the gate!
So, I have improved! This is great! It means I am learning something afterall! I'm still waiting for my next real landmark, the $0 point. As sad as that sounds, I actually dont feel depressed looking forward to the day I break even. But I do think I'll get there, and much much further.
That is all. Happy new year you smelly bastards.
P.S. This does not reflect live earnings, of which I added up from my ATM deposits to be roughly $500.
P.P.S. We are also considering moving to vegas. More on that later.
Happy New year everyone, hope ya'll had a good party.
I recently moved into my new apartment here in Bangkok. I was living with 2 other poker players for nearly a year here so we all eventually decided to see what it is like if we were to split up and get our own apartments. I think it was a really good idea 'cos somehow now i feel much more independant.
Poker has been going OK i guess, if u put into account how much i've been spending thus hindering me from moving up stakes. Playing the $6.5 18 man sngs mostly. had a really bad roi% due to mostly having some leaks once I get ITM (playing too loose) and prob playing too many tables as well. With the fpps rakeback i made and some small tournament cashes i made around $2.8k in December. Which puts my hourly to a miserable $21/hour
I've been playing NL10 and sometimes I lose like 6-8 buys in one session, but im rarely ever up that much in one session. Is that normal? I usually multi table. Sometimes I can't tell if i'm running bad or playing bad.

I'll let you guess against whose i'm losing the most.
Obviously fishes because they'd never fold, just call even their 3rd or 4th pair...
Really need to stop spewing money against those donks cauz i'm even more stupid when i make like pot sized bet on river with nothing.
God.
Hope this January i'll wait for good hands and move up to nl25 asap... Then see if my read and bluffs are better...

first post here - never much a poster, but visiting this site like every day for few yrs...
I'm playing on ongame n stuff and don't know much people here, on my MSN I have only like shaw67896 (hello Greg! sry for misspeling these numbers lol) and I dont play that much on Stars and hey recently I received the email from PokerStars that they invite me to their Juno Invitational freerolls..
My cousins taught me the multiplayer over xmas and I'm hooked now, looking for some LP guys to play with. I have a grand total of ZERO steam friends, haha.
2)3bet - as expected, the profitability goes down from NL10 to NL100 gradually.
Still this potentially can be something I can improve upon, I will refresh Professor Plotkin to get the math behind 3bets right and try to push them higher. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/6a910.KEKE.png
Facing steal AND 3bet in SB and BB
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/fdcd1.KEKE.png
Call 3bet preflop - leak, kinda obvious one.
I don't play back too much in 3bet pots. I have to watch Plotkin and fix this, I really am calling just to fold when I miss way too often.
A super thin play, the dude was a huge fish as far as I can remember

Low SC and gappers - the upswing is recent when 4 tabling, I think this is a clear indication that I should tigten up when I don't play my A game soul reading all over the place on 4 tables. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/9f20e.KEKE.png
Well, my PT3 froze now daaaam. Its 1:20 anyway, I will analyse this tomorrow and add more graphs and try to get some conclusions together/areas to focus on.
If you guys could tell me what other filters are significant in terms if leak finding, that would be much appreciated.
Please note that these hands are from NL10-NL100 from past two months as I played them (NL10-NL25-NL50-NL100 as I moved up)
I think I am getting used to playing NL10. I posted how frustrated I was about NL10 yesterday night. And since then I have made some adjustments. Namely, not stacking off so easily in big pots. Having this more "cautious" approach has definately made me value bet worse, but I think I can gradually adjust to this and I hope to do well at balancing the two in the future.
I reduced the tables I play to at first 10 tables. This has helped alot. I plan on increasing the number of tables gradually, as I feel for a Full Ring player, the ability to multitable well is really important.
I logged in 5400 hands since last night. It starts around hand 62000, and I think the graph points to a significantly lower variance style. Notice the decrease in variance near the end of the graph.
I hope to keep this up. I think I can do it. But wish me luck anyway!
TY for reading.
PS - thumbs up to Midan and Iverson2k2k. Gave me confidence after losing alot of it yesterday.
actually up ~$50 cause of bonus/rb but whatever im so happy cuz There wuz a point i was down like 15 BI and was like wtf i suck TTT wrist emo but the past 3 days have all been +++. also dl'd trial version of PT3 but 0 clue how to use lolol XD
i wonder if 35k/2 weeks is good volume or w/e but i bet ppl do lots more.
also how do u increase tables at ftp. they were like, email us! -been 2 weeks no reply-
guess cuz its holidaysz.. Hmmm. also my friend wants to play poker too but lolol hes n00b and has no credit card. self-level imo.
Going to try to reach SNE this year, I think last year's unbelievably ridiculous breakeven stretch (300k hands with -120 bi's (yes buyins) under expectation) has taught me I need to take poker more seriously and I can't get away with 40-50k months any more.
In any case, just finished my first day at NL100 and for the first 5k hands (first half of the day) it felt relatively easy and that I might be able to do it without at least partial insanity...the next 5k hands (one long session) brought me back down to earth. The last hour or so i was having trouble telling which hands were taking place at which tables and i had to coast a little bit to get to my goal of 10k hands today...even still, huge day. 10k hands in 3628.44 vpp's and $1816 in profits all at NL100
Wish me luck LP, gonna need it but at least today showed me I can grind out a really nice profit at a pace higher than whats required for SNE. good thing too, i'll need some days off
My plan was (http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=653588 , http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=766136):
POKER GOALS 2009 starting from 01.01.2009:
[] avg. of 50$ a day - in terms of sklansky bucks (18k profit)
[] plan some kind of schedule for watching movies from DC
[] Lifetime goal: Run like artanis in flips
[] Lifetime goal2: Play like djforever on 6max
[] Lifetime goal3: Play HUs like Fayth
[] Goal for 2009: NL200 till the end of 2009
[] Goal2 for 2009: Make 200k vpps and buy 2k milestone
[] Goal for june: try to be break even and [ x ]make 50k fpps which I need to buy June 2,4k instant cash bonus (down like 1k already ).

After getting hit by the holiday doomswitch and having 4-5 days in a row of pain I decided to stop and just enjoy the holidays since poker obviously just wanted to shit on my head and expected me to turn my face up, open my mouth and eat it with a grin.
Had a great time over the holidays with family. Just got back to CO last night and had a awesome new years with my lady. Today we went with my dad to see Avatar on imax with 3D. When I saw it the first time it was on a regular screen without 3D. Gotta say, it looked pretty damn good. I wish I'd seen it like that the first time, definitely woulda been worth the money.
Now I'm having a hard time getting myself to grind again. Taken 7 days off and the thought of poker provokes memories of pain right now due to that horrendous downswing. I swear downswings are the worst when they happen in times like the holidays where the tables are insanely juicy. So I gotta get my mindset back and get into the grind again. I think I was much more thrown off cause I was traveling, so I didn't have time to do my regular routine. I think I was more tilt prone. I feel like if I'd had the same downswing while at home, using my setup with the space to do my routine, then I'd still be doing much better right now. But there were a lot of distractions, a lot of physical pain due to bad chairs/desks/mousepads, and many annoyances due to not having my dual monitor setup. I feel like I've done a very good job of creating a solid poker routine and putting together my tools in a way so that when I grind I can focus 100% on the poker, but when I'm traveling all of that stuff gets messed up and my focus is torn away. Plus the physical pain is no good.
So while I've set myself up very well to play good poker here at home, I set myself up for hard times while playing poker traveling since I'm so used to my nice home setup. Gonna have to learn to adjust.
Anyway, this is basically just a ramble blog, as most of mine have been lately. Hehe
