A program or something that lets me view my housemate's monitor from my monitor. He's learning poker and I figure it's easier to sweat him on my computer. I know these programs exist but I dunno which are free and easy to use.
50k Hands/20 Hours Prop Win for 33k! Stats/Graphs!by Joeingram1, December 04
I was going to wait until I officially recieved the money in my PokerStars account from the escrow fantasticcow but he is in Australia playing APPT and needs to verify his account in order to send me that large of a transfer, so until then I am pretty busto
Thanks to Liquid Poker for putting an article about me on the front page of the site!!! Much appreciation! I googled my name and actually found similar articles on about 10-15 other sites in just about every possible language, I really had no idea it would be that popular or I would have aimed for more hands!
I am happy to say that I achieved victory in my latest prop bet of playing 50k hands in 24 hours while showing a profit. It actually only took me 20 hours 2 minutes to achieve and after that time I was up approx 33 Buy-Ins from playing and $33,350 richer in prop bet money. I put up 13.5k of my own money getting 2.5-1 odds originally.
I must admit that this was probably one of the easiest things I have ever actually done and I felt like I could have played for days more while profiting in the games. How did this all get set up some have asked?? Well it was really all a perfect storm that came together. Originally I saw the article on pokerstarsblog.com for innerpsy playing 40,000 hands and I was a little annoyed because I had a session earlier in the year where I played 41,000 hands in about 20 hours so I felt the record should have been mine. Then I got into a hand prop bet with someone from 2p2 where we bet who could play the most hands and most of those hands I played at the NL25 games. During this time I realized these where quite possibly the worst players on the face of the earth playing here and if I actually tried there was no way I could possibly lose. This got me thinking about a prop bet I thought of doing long ago which was 50k hands in 24 hours while showing a profit. With this in mind, I knew that tableratings would be tracking my NL25 sessions so during these sessions I put in 0 effort at all of actually making money. I didn't use a HUD and basically just watched TV all session to get in hands for the prop bet I was in. Doing this I found it impossible to be down more then 8-12 Buyins. Finally during my last nl25 session before the bet I lost 600 dollars . After seeing all this people were lining up to bet against me!! I don't think they looked at the sessions I would play right after where I made 5+ buyins at 1/2 6max or 10 buyins at .50/1 but more so focused on my bad nl25 results. How could I really be a 2.5ptbb/100 winner at nl100 6max and losing at nl25?? lol. Anyways I made the thread on 2p2 and the gates flooded with action! I was obviously trying to take the max amount I could possibly take because I figured there was a 98 percent chance I would win this without a problem. I wanted to wait until Tuesday morning to start to take on more action but I knew Chiren was starting his million hand challenge at NL25 then so I had to do it Monday morning.
With many people following along in the 2p2 thread and on my webcam I was able to achieve my prop bet in 20 hours! I thought about going on for the extra 4 hours just to set a record no one could break but honestly my whole motivation behind this prop bet was to make the most amount of money possible in one day at NL25!
The world record was an afterthought that in the grand scheme of things really didn't mean to much. I mean Chiren played 6k more hands then me yesterday in 24 hours and he made $21 dollars. I did the same thing and made $34,000 lol. I am actually very glad Chiren is around because he really is the only person out there motivating me in these sort of mass volume prop bets. Some people think I am hating on Chiren but I really like him and am happy to see him putting in hands. It gives me a goal to shoot for in the future if I choose to do so. One thing I do find funny is all his WoW fanboys in the thread on 2p2 saying only Chiren can do 1 million hands and he is the ultimate grinder. I am going to be honest, if I wanted to play 1.1 mill hands in a month then I could do it without 0 doubt. Could I show a profit during it all??? I guess we will wait and see in a future prop bet
I am actually trying to come up with some ideas for future prop bets. I have been thinking about doing winning 10k at NL25 in one month, winning 13k at NL50 in one month, 1.1 Million Hands in 1 month with profit, 105k hands in 48 hours. All of these interest me but idk if I really want to put myself thru the hell that will come by doing any of these. After this recent prop bet I have more money then I ever dreamed I would have total in my bankroll so I don't know if it will be worth it to me to do another prop bet right now. Time will tell....
Many people have been asking me about my setup/hotkeys/scripts I use while playing. I will admit, these are things I would rather not give away as I feel like I probably have one of the most efficient setups with a combination of comfort playing/ability to utilize scripts and I feel like I could give most people out there my exact setup and they would see a good jump in there overall results.
My plans for December/January are to get myself back in great physical shape since I have been neglecting that part of my life the past few weeks. Book my trip to the PCA and meet a bunch of random online players that I have never met before. Try to make a profit in the 2/4+ games on PokerStars lol!! Continue falling in love with a certain asian woman currently in my life!!! LOVE!!!
Anyways here are my stats and graph for the epic session!
ever have a set of 4's beat by a set of q's?
how about a set of 8's beat by a set of k's?
what about a set of K's beat by a 1 outter for villian to catch quad 3's?
what about a flopped nut flush beat by runner runner full house, when all-in is on the flop?
What about having all of this happening within 15 hands? yeah... my life...
A great start of the monthby lolpetedotnet, December 04
Things has gone really well for me lately. I feel like I have developed my game as I am starting to really crush the games. I hope I can move up to 3/6 soon and 5/10 eventually but I want my roll to grow even more before that.
Last month I had a pretty good month and this month so far has been amazing, being up already $8,500.
If things continue to work out for me this month could be my best month ever. I really like my chances because December is probably the most action filled month of all months.
I have a goal for this month to play 85K+ hands and I have already played 10K hands the first 4 days and today i not over yet so I like my chances here as well. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/f3f49.This month1.jpg
A lot of the hands I have played is on the £ tables so the $6,7K is not quite accurate.
After coming back from a trip to Poland I expect to move up. In a week with the winrate I was having. But the month was less than steller- it was me trying to keep my head above the waves. Little profit.
Anyway last few days made 1k (woop) and moved to NL100. Funny this Poker thing.
Now got to crack on and get 6k VPPs by Dec 31st to get SN.
been playing a ton last the 3 days and I have no confidence left. I'm getting run over. I can hit shit and Im just awful.
just gonna listen to drake -successful over and over again and hope maybe some day I'll be a winner. I hate not being a fucking winner. I have so much anger inside of my body built up that I need to unleash. I'm breakeven at NL50/NL100 for the last 70k hands now and I don't have any answers. I'm a fucking bust. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/3ba76.sincenov1.jpg
Gonna win back 5-10 buyins at NL50(lol yeah right) and go back up. I have no way to describe the anger and pain I feel right now.
So I tried stacking tables for the first time and masstabling like my hero JoeIngram does.
I must say that its a completely different experience than when having all tables tiled.
Every hand is played in isolation, and you almost never see results.
Its hard to tilt when you don't know that you got sucked out I must tell you, and playing stacked tables seems much easier than having them tiled as you have only one focus point and you don't have to search for hands on the screen (I am always under threat of hypertilt when I play 12 tables tiled and I see all of them)
Still, I need some practice doing this, and I will do 1-2 practice sessions per month on 10-15 tables to see if I am capable of playing well at NL50-NL100 like this.
There is absolutely no need whatsoever to multitable while I have a fulltime job as my goal is a mere $700/month including rakeback for next 9 months and skill>>>profits, but when I turn student again and will play 8+ hour sessions it will be nice to have the opportunity to grind it out when I am tired of 4-6 tabling and when reaching milestones.
Two things that have changed; the same regs are adjusting well and not letting me run them over in 3bet pots, and I'm running really bad.
Got a bunch of those standard fish calling turn shoves with gutshots and regs stacking off dominated, but meh don't really care since I played those hands fine. Ran something like 1200 under EV.
Buuuuut I'm timimg my squeezes and light 3bets badly and I've had problems pulling the trigger for the third barrel or the 5bet shove (did it twice, BrocheN called me super light with a mid Ace and I binked a K with K9 or K4, something like that, second time it worked). So even if I ran normal, I don't think the way I've been playing would give me very good results (which makes me really sad).
The other big thing is I haven't been table selecting at ALL, which definitely has to be killing my winrate. I'm going to be starting tables again instead of sitting at random tables with an empty seat.
Gonna have to turn this around tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Any advices ? I'm currently sitting with 265 and decided to move down when i get like 240 or something.
Just want to take a shot and see what it feels like, but any additionnals advices are really welcome ! http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6914/sanstitrejq.jpg
Czech Ladies Championship- Czech Poker Festivalby SmartDonkey, December 03
24.11. I played Czech Ladies Championship: buyin $130 and 64 players. I finished 3rd and won about $1400, best thing - I won cup .
All Girls played so tight, after 2 hours of playing first girl drop out. I succesfully tried to exploit their tightness.
I Droped out allin pf with A9 to KQ, flop comes KKK and that meant end in this tournament.
I have 24k pts left to go for nova while grinding @ nl100. I've decided to just take a break off poker for the rest of the month, or atleast finals are over. Gonna organize poker plans/goals/routines for the year of 2010.
It seems that it's too risky for me to mass table nl100 to reach nova. There's a high chance for a player like me to become broke. If i had 10K points left to go or something I would definitely strive for it by 4-6 tabling. I've learned a lot about poker from playing 100's of thousands of hands from the nl2 and up, from this forum, and from watching a lot of vids on cardplayerpro. I came to realize when I mass (9+ tables imo @ 6max) a lot of stuff I learn doesn't get used it my thought process since i'm rushing most of the time.
Next year i plan to be more focus and even more serious about poker. I'll be more strict on my tabling, and try to be more patient with poker in general. Hopefully i'll end up playing something 600k-800k hands for next year and show a decent,consistent winrate. Playing poker has earned me almost $4K (with the help of a lot of bonuses) for the year while I had part time jobs and school, but I should've earned so much more if I hadn't tilted/spewed so much and play beyond my limits.
No more excuses.
The year 2009 was my year for getting introduced into the internet poker world. I've read poker books already and put in thousands and thousands of hands at the slums. 2010 will be the year goals will be made and accomplished.
Obviously standard but pretty crazy for a relatively small sample size. Just whining a little bit. Also wanted to rebump because everyone should watch the doubles game I posted at the bottom of my November post - it's really entertaining and probably one of the coolest games of all time.
Taxes and you: The untold storyby SCC-Faust, December 03
Srsly now, when do I claim taxes?
I've read so much bullshit on this subject and learnt nothing. I'm withdrawing $25 a week and haven't been paying taxes because it is such a meager amount.
However, I know when it comes to making money in other things than a job, once you exceed $600 in a year, you need to fill out a W-9 form. So how do you guys do it? What happens when I want to cash out over $600?
I asked my father just to see what he'd say and he is like "just pay taxes at the end of the year". Either way WTF someone guide me please this shits gay.
had like 55k at 500/1k blinds. big stack raise utg and idiot calls i squeeze to 11.5 bink a QJ9r board. Checked to big stack and he bet 15k, other guy folds and I ship. Guy calls with TT and rivers the T
Since i got so much hate for my last blog, heres some more:
