It's been about one month since I decided I wanted to give playing poker seriously a shot. The idea of building a bankroll from nothing really appealed to me so that's what I attempted to do. I started off inspired by a post on LP about selling play chips for real money and decided I'd try to grind up some play chips while playing a few freerolls each day on Full Tilt. I figured that the rakeback from Full Tilt would end up making it a better choice than Stars, but after recently looking up the rake structures because of an edzwoo post, Stars does seem slightly better (but it's too late now!). In the first few days I got up to about 150k in play chips by basically open shoving AK and JJ+ and getting about three callers every time. My first poker lesson was that surprisingly, people actually fold to pre-flop shoves at real money tables. By the end of the first week I ended up cashing in two Canada Freerolls, the first for $2, and the second for $5 and that was the start of my bankroll.
Before starting to play on cash tables I downloaded the free trial version of HEM which I'm still using (I just haven't closed HEM for the last 20 or so days lol). I started off playing one table of full ring $0.01/$0.02 NLHE buying in for $0.50 (feeble attempt at BR management) but quickly moved to two and then four tables. Between bad play, tilt, and bad beats I was down to $3 pretty quickly. Lesson number two: tilt is evil. When playing one table tilting wasn't so bad, but tilting at four tables quickly ate up a large chunk of my undersized roll. After learning how to unclick Autopost Blinds when starting to tilt, my roll started moving in the right direction again. By the end of November I was up to about $30.
One memorable night I had was playing against a giant fish that ended up playing 78% of his 154 hands. Easy money right? Apparently not as he coolered me for multiple buyins. I had 2 flopped sets cracked by straights, and AKs owned by A5o for 300BB in total. This tilted me pretty hard and after spewing for a bit, I started closing down tables, but I still wanted my money back from the salmon. I ended up closing all my tables except the table the fish was sitting at. I was determined to felt the tard. Besides the fish, the rest of the table was pretty nitty, so I decided my strategy for getting my money back would be to raise to 5x every time the fish limped (my standard raise is about 3x) which he would invariably call and I would take by cbetting. I had missed out on this goldmine earlier because in my first hand against the fish, he hit something and called my cbet, putting his fold to cbet stat at 0%. I didn't notice the sample size and ended up not cbetting him at all until I realized my mistake down 300BB later. After chipping away for a while, I eventually won back around 100BB when the rest of the table decided they were tired of my overaggression and left, leaving me heads up with the fish. This was my dream scenario, even though I didn't have much HU experience, I was sure I could turn this fish into sashimi. Three hands later I had his stack and he quit. Now I realize this could have gone pretty badly considering how tilted I was, but luckily it worked out and I got the immeasurable satisfaction of felting a total and utter megafish that had the audacity to get lucky and steal my money.

For some reason in December I decided that I should try limping in with any two cards that remotely connected and try to stack a fish if I got lucky and hit something big. This was a terrible idea. I got lucky with the strategy early on but that luck would run out pretty quickly. Soon I hit session after demoralizing session of pure losing poker. Who would have thought that loose passive is a losing strategy? I dropped from $30 down to a low of $18. Only when I started playing more TAGish poker did I start winning again. The last few days have been pretty big winners and I'm up to $47 (woo finally fully rolled). I'm up to playing seven tables on two monitors and I'm debating adding more. I could easily play eight tables without any overlap, but to add more I would either have to overlap tables or make the tables on my main monitor smaller than I really want. For anyone else doing the micro grind on Full Tilt, you might want to check out the Academy. I'm doing the Jennifer Harman "Sizing Up Opponents" challenge over and over since you can do each challenge up to 10x. The challenge basically completes itself through normal play unlike some of the others where you have to bet a specific size or something. The hardest part of the challenge is winning a hand preflop by reraising without a pair or an Ace. It's surprisingly hard to move people off their hands with a 3bet (people have called with some rediculous hands). I've almost got enough Academy points to buy a $26 tournament token, although I'm not really sure that will be of much use to me with my current skill level. But I figure I might as well get every bonus I can. Hopefully this wasn't too long and boring. I know $0.01/$0.02 is super exciting.
I started grinding hardcore about 4 days ago, played about 35k hands of NL10 24 tabling, only to show about a 40$ profit. Decided to switch things up today and play some 6 table nl25 shorthanded and it went pretty well. I've gotten about 1500 VPP over the past 4 days, and i hope to get platinum by the end of the month.
Here's my graph and stats from todays session. Any comments or critiques are appreciated.
Oh and shoutout to Dino for hooking me up with a holdem manager key, its helped me alot.
I need $50US on Paypal to buy poker books on EBAY... I will send you $50FTP. If you can help me out, pm me/reply here. I will send first to trust members.
on the life of a degenerate seeker of +EVby vltava, December 11
One particular idiot yesterday chastised me for smoothcalling a raise with pocket aces in a live single-table SNG at Hawaiian Gardens. "NEVER slowplay aces", he declared. He babbled some faulty analysis of the hand, then left the table, as he no longer had any chips. Then he wandered back to berate me some more, and I explained that I was not actually interested in receiving a poker lesson from him. He went on to say "Well, every pro agrees with me," a spectacular claim. Irritated, I told him that couldn't be true, since I did not. He said I must not be a pro because he had never heard of me, but at this point he was satisfied with his trolling, and departed for good. Aside from being an abject douchebag, he also betrayed an inherent lack of understanding of what the word "professional" means.
I play poker for a living. I am not famous. I am not rich. I simply show a net profit when I play poker and it is adequate to cover my living expenses. If I ask what your profession is, whether you answer law clerk, dental hygienist, options trader, or fry cook, would it not be most peculiar if I stated you must be lying about what you do for a living, since I had never heard of you?
I suspect that NO poker pro would categorically say that you must NEVER slowplay pocket aces, although naturally pros at all levels hold varying degrees of opinions on the frequency with which such a play should be employed. If someone is making a living at poker and holds such a belief, I'd really like to have access to the games he or she is playing in.
One of my favorite movies is the awkwardly titled "White Men Can't Jump". Awkward not because the title isn't catchy, but because it's not really about basketball, and it's not about some white/black culture clash. It's about the life of a marginally successful hustler, a guy who is perpetually a fish out of water in the environment in which he's chosen to immerse himself to make a living, and the impact the lack of security and his questionable decision-making skills have on his personal relationships. Like Billy Hoyle, my life is strange, free, exhilarating, heartbreaking and frustrating.
That is the name of the last episode of The Eightfold path to poker enlightenment.
I am about to watch it and I am so excited that I have to bore you with a blog post about it. http://www.deucescracked.com/videos/1062-Episode-Eight
Recommended by my coach, this is the best series or anything else really that I saw in regards to poker. It had an impact not just on my poker play, but also partially on my real life.
I will now demonstrate the impact the 7 episodes I saw had on me with my with the help of my December EV graph so far. + Show Spoiler +
BOOOOM. Bathe in Sklansky bucks.
Anything like this would tilt me just a month ago. Badly. Very badly.
After watching the series and thinking very deep about what has been said and trying to apply some of the advice several times per day at poker tables and at work, I feel nothing else than pure joy from playing poker.
No bad emotion, nothing close to my C game, no sense of injustice, nothing.
I just find myself taking a deep breath after hands like this one,+ Show Spoiler +

I feel hysterical joy, jump around the room and go bore my gf with a 10 minute story about it.
Also, when I felt tired I didn't play 3days in a row, while reading the forums and reading about poker. 3DAYS IN A ROW, not a single hand, even though I had a lot of time for poker and wasn't doing anything else!
I have also been practising advice from The Right Speech episode, and edited countless posts here on LP and didn't post with negative tone in so many good 'spots'.
I still need a lot of work on this though - I posted a 3week old graph where I was hypertilting when I had flu with the intention of not be let down by the obvious berating posts and not replying once.
I still had a huge urge to 'defend myself' and some responses hit my ego, but I didn't respond apart from one joke post that I immediately deleted (it was defensive humour obv).
As you probably will know now, I have huge expectations of the final episode (which is about 70% longer than the others).
Afterwards I will just dl the series to my iPod and listen to it once again, and then every year or whenever I start feeling negative emotions in connection to poker.
If you guys don't have DC subscription, this should be the only reason to get it (and you can always go for the free trial and dl the whole series btw).
I will now sit down straight, take 10 concious breaths, eat the light dinner my gf prepared for me, and let my mind submerge in the grand Finale called Tiltlessness.
EDIT: Halfway through, I have to take a break and have a shower. The stuff in this ep is too deep to watch it in one session.

Hero raises to $15
SB calls $10

i could do it in a shorter period of time for sure, but 5 hours/day i feel that i can play good too. im no joeingram i cant keep my head straight for 10 hours+.
goal is to pretty much breakeven but actually winning anything at my first ever 24tabling attempt makes me feel very motivated to do this.
will get 4000$ bonus + 800$ milestone during this challange. if i can win anything at the tables too would be very sweet.
will be starting off the challange at the new appartment @ the 10th of january, hoping to be done at february 23rd.
a 1bb/100 winrate over these 350k hands and ill be very happy.
poker overall for me feels really good right now, im very motivated.
wish me luck!
wont play much more the rest of the month, tonight ill get drunk as hell celebrating a friend of mine turning 22y old today.
ps. check out the epic kid in my last blogpost, lots of fun!
I would be in profit if I was a better player, though, so I will keep working on it best I can. I just don't feel like I have a lot of power very consistently over the past (brutal) couple of months. Still working on iiittttt.
There is still plenty of time left in the month and I have a sort of minimum goal for myself of 2k hands or 5 hours of play a day averaged out over the month. I had to cancel my prop bet with The Cleaner (sorry bro), but its for the best right now. Hopefully I can find 1 or 2 people to prop on most hands played at some time in Jan.
Been at my dad's since Wednesday night and I'm feeling better already. I already know its going to get a little bit boring though, since I'm like ~30min away from the city. Going to mix it up a bit and ride our go-cart and ATVs though.. Wish I had some friends out here aside from my Dad & Uncle (who is a lot of fun) though.
best of everything to all u foo's out there!
Oh yeah, I have a question and want some ideas:
Aside from acquiring discipline, does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent myself from looking @ my HEM graph etc until like I deliberately need/want to at like the end of the day or every couple days or something haha. I don't have issues checking my cashier but today for instance I checked my graph 800 hands into my session (was up 3.5bi woo) and I notice it had an effect on my judgement after that.
Whatup LP. Im new here and its officially my favorite site. Mostly because its the only poker site I can access at work (clearly a sign), but mostly because you guys are fukin hilarious and this site is the shizzznit. I stumbled upon this here site a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love/stopped working at work. That ROFL thread has kept me entertained for days, im not even sure I've done anything else for the past week, hope I get a big bonus this year. Anyway im starting this blog for 2 reasons. Reason 1 - gloating, i will gloat about my minor successes, and Reason 2 - bitching, i will bitch about bad luck keeping me from other minor successes. Actually im hoping this will help keep me focused on my goals for poker/life, but thats not gonna happen so fck it.
About Me - i work for a big invesetment bank here in NYC and I play poker pretty much everyday but I dont have all the time in the world so I maybe get in 5k hands a week. I started taking poker seriously a few months ago and I have built my 200 into roughly 2500 from 10NL to now 50NL. I was up to 3100 and took shots at 100NL, obviously the deck pooped on me and then laughed, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, here I am again at 50NL. I dk why I cant run good ONCE when I try to move up. Whateva. I find myself surrounded my monkeys but I constantly run into their good hands. They raise half their hands for an hour then wake up with KK when i have QQ. Bastards. Ive sort of accepted the fact that im lucky in life but not in poker, or maybe its just selective memory. Either way, ill keep grinding and see where it takes me.
HIGH Stakes Hands, PTR/Stars Articles, Girl Pic!!by Joeingram1, December 11
Whats up all, this month has been going pretty well for me so far after my recent prop bet victory. Have done a few interviews for poker sites and I've found articles wrote about my prop bet on a ton of differnt sites in every language, kinda cool actually and something I didn't expect from doing the prop bet. Thanks alot to one of my favorite sites, LIQUID POKER!!!, for putting an article on the front page about me, much love!
Icemonkey9 aka Sean Gibson is friends with the other guys that have a poker house out here in San Diego and came down the other day and interviewed me in person for a few sites he writes for. Very cool guy and thanks to him for writing my answers up in a nice way!
I finally got my money from the escrow on Tuesday so naturally I jumped into the highest games running/table selecting. I was doing really well a month back doing this but my downfall was when I started playing every 5/10 table running and not table selecting at all. Im pretty confident if I can stick to semi-strict table selection/not get it all in with 2 cards under 10, I should be able to do fairly well.
Here are my results so far for this month along with a few hands

Was super unsure what to do in this spot, small blind was a pretty big fish and wanted to try to hit my draw and win a big pot! After PFR raises his donk though I don't really want to call OOP so went for some positive redline lol, thoughts??

So today went like complete shit. Busted wat i was working with. Ran like complete shit, sets over sets, every scare card that i bluffed at they hit, ect ect. Heres the graphs --
I started loosing up when my BR hit over 300, played like id normaly would if i had a BR to back it up, as u can see by my red line. Doesnt do much when u cant win a showdown tho..
-_- Got a 5 day weekend and nothin to play with now. Sounds stupid cause im new here but if anyone wants to short stake me for HU.. I got older graphs ect. Dont wana reveal myself here unless u pm me. If not then i guess ill have to wait till i get more money to deposit which might take a while.
Anyways, i guess ill update when i get the chance to play..
GL all!!
