after almost 4 years away from poker :)by PplusAD, July 18
Played some poker last week.
Realised again why poker is nothing for me
Not "real" Poker though.
CS:Go Poker ...where u deposit skins and then play poker and after that cashout in skins....
1000chips = 80 cent skin value
Deposited all the CS:Go Skins i dont need (Since i dont play CS:Go more then 2-5h a week anyways i dont really need skins)
Got in 18K (14,5€) in Skin Value and started some 4K chips HU games. (I somehow never managed to make a solid BR Rule ever ^^)
Competition is basically CS:Go Players who never played poker..... Its like in the good old pre 2010days on Partypoker
Played super standard ABC oldschool poker....
Just value betting/ 3 betting PF
C betting most flops
Value betting turns and rivers
No bluffs , no crazy shit
Won some pots , lost some pots ....got my ass handed by some big suckouts but always came back and after 4h i had managed to make it to 78K chips
then i joined a 20K HU table.... (Well Poker BR... again)
Villian was an incredible calling station , calling 100% 3 bets pf with K2o and stuff like that.
After some time we both had around 30K chips
------------------------------------
I get AQs
He raises pf i 3 bet he calls (as always)
flop 873 all Spades
I bet flop he 3 bets i shove all in , he calls
and he shows A3 no draw
turn 3 river A...
he wins with Full House...
-------------------------------------------
I cash out the remaining winnings and decide that
it was a good Idea to quit poker almost 4 years ago
Its just not for me
(Some) Billionaires: Take + Hoodwink + Bamboozle.by RiKD, July 17
"Oh, and I say it again, you've been had. You've been took. You've been hoodwinked. Bamboozled. Led astray. Run amok!" - Malcolm X
Reasons to watch this video:
- John Olliver is fucking hilarious and shares news based in truth, fairness, and goodness.
- Billionaire owners negotiate hundreds of millions out of taxpayers to build stadiums for hundreds of millions in revenue that gets cut up 100% owner, 0% taxpayer
Been rollercoasting a lil bit recently, got pretty short after rent etc and deposited on wsop.com
won the 5r turbo 2 nights in a row and have had a few other FT's with some good results at nl20/nl50 so far, so enjoying that, prolly the best site i've ever played on, although we will see how much that changes going into August
Tonight I was playin live cg's with my buddy.
Just brought 300, went to the V.
had a hand go down vs a guy that was really splashy and overcalling alot, he had a lot of leaks, a pure mtter that just busted the 5k.
so i have 55 UTG, I limp for just 2 bux.
he raises to 10, 4 callers, i call 55.
flop 5KJr
i check he bets 30ish everyone folds i just flat cuz rainbow and hes lagtarded etc.
turn 9d, brings FD and QT but both not in our ranges much, i check he bets i jam over hoping to get called by AA AK QKss etc, also wanted to protect here. he says "your not gonna like this one kid." flips over JJ. I check raised turn bet, he bet pretty big.
so as im walking out waiting on my local buddy in town, i run into The CLeaner from LP
we took a quick pic, he seemed really down to earth n with it, was leaving though so didn't get to grind with him.
was standing at the entrance, he walks up and says "Ryan?" instantly knew who it was lol
meh btw i only had 2.8k when i arrived, after a ton of swings im near that right now and doing quite well, lol i was down to like dirt then found wsop.com! if ur in LV its really really good to play on most hours! Lives been picking up, my games been evolving a ton, look forward to some big sessions. won $960 yesterday or something like that wasn't bad just ran over everyone at that table.
been table selecting lookin for all the fish, if theres .5-1 fish i just find a new table insta

Return is going pretty well. Was on a stake until about ~8k in the graph (it's right before the $9k ds). Still splitting for the highest limits I'm playing but most of my action is lower so it doesn't affect me too much. Pretty nice to have a bit of extra income again.
Some attempts to (re?)learn 6max PLO and FLO8 have stranded so far, but hopefully with improvements and time I'll get the hang of those too. Still focused on building my roll first though.
Inspiration for a getaway somewhere in Europe?by Balzamon, July 09
What do you do when poker is tilting you, and the weather in Sweden is tilting you even more? The first half of this summer has been sooo bad in Stockholm, and another 1-2 weeks of 15 degrees and rain seems to be incoming. Really feeling like going somewhere else, but where?
Going with gf for around 4-5 days, looking for it to be fairly cheap. I would prefer it to be a mixture of a cool city with beautiful nature closeby (would like to do some hiking). But I suppose a sunny place with just good nature/water environment would be OK as well, not just a tourist trap place (ie Aya Napa, Sunny Beach, Magaluf, Split and so on) with a zillion people.
Never been to Eastern Europe, so thats feels kinda interesting, ideas that popped up in my head:
- Budapest: heard the city is AWESOME, how is the countryside close by? Hiking friendly?
- Prague: same about the city, but again, how is the surrounding area if you want to see something else than just a city?
- Belgrade: friend been there and told me its super nice, and cheap, and friendly. Again, more to do than just city life?
- Croatia: really want to go here sometime, but think I wanna go for a longer time, also seems to be really "in" to go to Croatia right now, is there any place that is not overcrowded but still worth going to?
- Greece: In genereal is there a good idea to go there right now? Be a baller when everyone else suffer? Where to go to avoid the tourist trappy places?
- Spain/Portugal: I would like to try some more surfing,where are some affordable places in July? Looked at San Sebastian where I've been before, but really expensive during this season...
Ideas on these places and others would be greatly appreciated. Also would be cool if some local could tip me of their area and possible give us some guiding when there
Update: After some extensive reading I'm focusing on Macedonia (Skopje) which sounds like a perfect combination of nature and good food and very priceworthy, Budapest, Prague and maybe Malaga (not sure if priceworthy, but sounds like a cool city with some chances of surfing?). Anyone been to / living at any of these places?
If anyone is new at poker but has some experience with Daily Fantasy (you know how to make projections in excel) hit me up. I'd be down to trade a couple poker lessons (nlhe, plo, hu or ring, whatever) for help with getting my DFS setup going.
Just started learning about DFS day before yesterday and plan to go hard.
Trawling the internet and came across this rhythm game who's objective is to unlock more advanced melodies by executing streaks. I dunno why but this shit is just art, and I cant stop watching. There's just something beautiful about taking something ugly like a blocky ass pixelated game and painting it with rich music and a ridiculous challenge, especially in a sea of battlefield games and $1000 video cards.
There's like 5 sequels to this game and a ton of levels each with their own tunes.
