hey, its my first blog post on liquid poker and i shall celebrate it with a poem:
I am swimming in a pool of fish
betting
bluffing
No regular calls as much as me
I'm the thought process that rules your mind
sets flopping down my cascading tables
I wish only to stack the sweet sweet flush+open ender draw
The rake that i have bleed for thee
gushing
no rakeback for the gold vip
(grind)
ENDLESS HEATER
So, i have been trying to play through it but its lasting way longer than I thought
approx 50k hands in 100nl the rest 50nl!
~50bins under ev. fml? i guess compared to isildur1 not so much.
Serenity now....
but
I am close to getting the 200k bonus so that should cover it. Like sooon2b I am looking for people to talk to about this fucking game, anyone interested let me know... if any highstakers want to coach me, please do. I will not pay you... but will ship you a bonus when a month goes really well... basically what I am trying to say is, i have potential, help me for free
Wow I woke up this morning insanely motivated to grind after the small struggle I had lately. I told myself I would play 8k hands but 6300 hands and 7.8 hours later I think I'm done as I feel fucking amazing after conquering this once disgustingly brutal day. Ship the feel good mother fucker. The funny thing is, is that I started off playing 6 tables and then went to 8 and then to 10. My AA and KK lost me a total of $200 today as I got them in 3 times vs QQ twice and JJ once - all of which hit sets. But rofl the redline -- lovin' it
I ran a stake last sunday and returned 3:1 to my stakers. I would like to sell about 50% and would ask that anyone who staked me last week to please reply to this and confirm that I am to be trusted. Thanks.
Does it mean I'm a nerd if I just went through the stuff we have stored in the basement and gathered what I considered to be a box of awesome, and in that box is:
-Extended versions of all of the LOTR trilogy
-Episodes 1-6 of Star wars
-The first 5 harry potter movies
-The 2 newest zelda games
Cause as I was coming upstairs I thought "wow this is a box filled with everything awesome"
Now I face a dilemma, which is what I need you to help me decide... what to watch? I just want some background noise while I do other random stuff around the house so it's not like I'm gonna be sitting down watching anything.
Vote now! (LOTR won so now need input on which one)
Got blazed and tried to go play some 1/2 at the goldstrike here. I had to wait in line for like an hour just to get a seat in one of the 2 NL games going. Some 30ish something guy in a full white sweat suit (rofl?) with matching hat was in line before me and got sat to the right of a older kinda nerdy guy wearing a dirty WSOP white tee and sitting on like 1.8k. Apparently hed been up for 30 hours trying to qualify for a freeroll for players who qualify by getting enough hours in and had started with 150. The sweat suit guy turned out to be some guy who made like 250k on the tourney circuit this year and made a final table of some wsop event that wasnt televised and also won some 250k guarantee cake poker tourney.
I got sat at the other table...for 3 hands....SB BB and button. I was forced to switch with sweat suit because 'hed requested a seat' at my table earlier. Meaning he saw that there was a drunk as fuck super fish seating deep on the table i got onto and prolly didnt like getting sat to the right of the big stack on his current table. Either way i lose as the new guy and got sat to the right of the giant stack. I shoulda just quit then and came back another time....i had a bad feeling.
Although, the feeling i had was that big stackaments was gonna push me around a ton by 3 and 4 betting light. It turns out hes was just some zonked out mega nit who would overbet to 100$+ pre with AA/KK/QQ/AKs. When i figured that out i felt like it might be worth it to stick around. Most of the table was weak passive and very exploitable. Infact, i ended up garnering alot of info from the big stack about alot of the players in the area. Being so chatty with the guy on my left prolly led to me playing bad because i spent about 2 hours breaking even. Good lord i just never hit a damn thing and pretty much bluffed my way to break even poker.
Rhen some maniac guy who limp/called 90% of his hands and then bet like sonuvabitch post flop shows up with like 8 in bills and 4 hundo in chips. I raised light a few times to get iso w/ him knowing hes calling ATC but had some bad shit go down like me A2, him T2, and flop coming 24T and i cbet and get raised and am forced to fold.
The worst hand of the night was me SB with KQs (spades) against a button raise by this older kinda wacky guy to my right. i know im ahead of his range at this point from reads and yet i failed to 3bet him for some reason. I flat and so does a limp caller who had just sat with like 200. Flop comes K83 two clubs, i check (horribly...notice a pattern of fail here?), new guy limp caller checks, and button cbets it to some standard amount. I check raise about 3/4 of my stack which is just about 3x and get SNAP CALLED by limp caller. Turn is a Q of clubs and i ship the rest hoping im ahead some how. River is a blank club but it didnt matter cause he had K7 of clubs so i was busto.
I rebuy for 2 hundo and punt a shit ton of it when i pick up a decent hand but whiff the flop and it hits everyone else like its a pot of fucking gold under the rainbow. I try to convince ppl to flip for my last 80$ or so for ten mins. I got no takers. I end up just shipping AJ vs 99 pre vs some londoner and punt the rest. w/e...part card dead...part tilt...part wtf ever. As soon as i got moved i knew it wasnt gonna work out. I think ill trust that instinct next time.
Tonight i played some 20$ rebuy event and i swear to god, ive seen better structures at house games. Shit shoulda been allinaments by level 3 if u didnt double buy from the beginning. Obviously everyone played weak tightish and it was real easy to pick up alot of chips from blinds and antes w/o having to even see a flop. In fact, i should have been opening more pots but the nit in me kept me from doing optimally i think.
Either way, I found myself in a few weird situations. One was a social thing and one was a poker deal. The social thing took place when I was utg+1 or something and mucked an A3o. Two players ended up all in and one showed AKs and the other showed AQo. I casually mentioned after the cards were turned up that I had mucked an A. Then, this loud senior from the 1/2 game at the gold strike told me to never mention what i folded if he was in an all in hand because he finds it rude. And that he would consider reaching across the table and slapping that person in the face if they did so. I just gave him a weird look, brushed him off, and mentioned that his reaction was a bit overboard. He then said that he wouldnt be surprised if I took offense to his comment and whooped his ass in turn. WTF? I guess I gave him the evil eye when he chirped. I dunno. He ended up being all friendly to me in passing during a break. DOUBLE WTF.
The poker situation was me in the BB with Q7o. A shorty utg shipped for like 3k on top of my 2k BB. He got snap called by a guy sitting with about 2/3 of my stack in mid pos. Its folded to me in the BB and for some reason i took a lot more time to call then i usually take for (to me) obvious decisions. The board comes 735 rainbow and I (again with the fail) check. The mid position guy then overbet ships like 20k and I fold. He shows ATs and wins vs K6. Wtf...i felt like i butchered the shit out of the hand. I even put him on a bluff for a second then still folded...wtf. a;sldkjas;dklj. I just didnt see betting into the dry side pot with nothing.
Didnt turn out all that bad. I ended up finishing 5th for like a hundo so I made the money but just barely. Busted shipping a shorty w/ A4o vs a BB's 97o. Cheers. Also, I got over charged at a memphis boozery for a 6 pack of sierra nevada celebration ale and thats not cool.
Gonna be buying myself a new laptop soon, replacing my late 2k7 macbook pro. So far, I like this laptop best for the following reasons:
I love the new macbook style keyboard.
I like that its 16.4" rather than 17 or 18 inches, with the same resolution.
I like that its a sony and not a dell or some other brand. (Fwiw, I love my mac, just not for poker.)
I like that its $1500
Here's the specs:
Sony Vaio FW Series
# Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9600 (2.80GHz)
# 6GB (4GBx1 + 2GBx1) DDR2-SDRAM-800
# 500GB SATA Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm)
# 16.4" VAIO extra-wide HD display (1920x1080)
# ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4650 graphics with 1GB dedicated video RAM
# Large Capacity Battery (VGP-BPL13)
# CD/DVD playback/burning
# FreshStart™
# Black
# Genuine Microsoft® Windows® 7 Professional
Wondering what you guys think? If I read correctly, the fresh start option cleans all the random bullshit that just takes up space before I receive the computer? I was also wondering if it would be better for me to get a solid state HD. Would it make my computer much faster, or would the inconvenience make it not worth it?
Main program's I run on a daily basis:
Firefox
Trillian
FTP/Stars
HEM
ITunes
Pokerstove
MS Word
plans for next year (SNE+live)by domyouji, December 09
Many of you don't know who I am on lp because I am barely active, but I do check this weekly to read blogs and stuff so I know alot of you alrdy. I still have 1 semester of school left until graduation, so gonna tough that out and get a degree (4 years of uselessness). I recently turned 21 so I'm going to AC or maybe foxwoods to play some live games on weekends if they are profitable (if anyone has experiences in either places drop a msg in quirks you found or w/e). Main goal is to play to get SNE next year assuming everything goes well with legislation. I don't really know if I should play 100 or 200nl for the entire year because I don't know how well I will do in 200 as I have never tried it and 100 is just grinding with other nits with occasional fish which can be tiring sometimes. Although 100nl seems to be safer bet as I won't go busto and atleast probably will breakeven at worst for entire year. Right now I'm sitting with a little over 20k so yea opinions are welcomed.
Going to Asia (Korea, Cambodia, Thailand)by k2o4, December 09
My girl and I just finished booking our tickets to Asia and we were able to get our layover in Seoul extended to 6 days, which means I get to see the Pro BW Scene! That's a long term nerd fantasy come true for a guy who started playing BW @ 12 yrs old and remembers reading news about the first time Grrr went out there to play =) So if any of you guys are in Seoul in January let me know. I'm gonna be staying with Midian (thanks Jamie, you rock) which will be totally awesome.
After we leave Korea we'll head to Bangkok. From there we're gonna backpack around Thailand and into Cambodia. If we get time we're also gonna try for Laos and Burma. I am so insanely excited right now, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
Helllzzzz yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!
We'll be gone for at least 1 month, at most 5 months, and most likely around 3 months. It all depends on how long we can stretch the money we've saved for the trip.
