Hello,
I would like to buy a game on steam but it doesnt allow me to pay with moneybookers obv
I need 25$ so if someone can help me with that it would be very nice.
I can pay back on Pokerstars, Partypoker, Carbonpoker, Moneybookers.
I send first of course.
Thank you.
I moved to ftp for bonus and rakeback. I stayed at nl2 because I sucked so hard last nl5 shot. Insane heater at 6max. Don't know if I run bad at FR or should I just fold kings pre flop.
I have stop-loss of 2 buy-ins first 100 hands into a session. Way too many -2bi sessions
I'm probably going to get rid of that because I don't go on monkey tilt anymore.
Got to final table at $1.10 buy in donkament for around 70 bucks prize.
BR now $380. I started at $50.
Starting tomorrow I will play nl5
Here's most of my hands played on ftp. Missing like 2k hands played on laptop.
Worst day of poker I ever had. So frustrating, had set over set like 3-5 times ran super bad, couldnt win flips ect. Ran 4.5 times below ev for the down 10 BI's but tried to keep positive and tried to get even. Poker gods said nada. Was gonna post an ev graph but couldnt upload it. just had to get it out. On a good note I didnt tilt or spew at all which im still learning to control that, so even though losing 10bi's sucked i was proud not to tilt or play higher to get my money back. Gonna take tommorrow off go through a couple hands and see if i can find any leaks.
Im thinking about joining a training site, any suggestions? dueces crakced CR leggo?
1 million dollar slowrollby LiLZhiMiNG, November 13
sure most of you have seen this already but for those who haven't if you are going to slowroll someone do it on a tv show and not on the poker tables -_-
A while ago i pitched the movie Butterfly Effect(_director's cut_) to k2o4 and he seemed to like it. Well tonight i've decided to take a chance on recommending another movie.
Remember the Bucket List? That movie with 2 of the greatest actors of our generation that, when just came out made the coveted IMDB top 250? You probably do. But did you know that it was a remake? And that it was complete garbage?
You probably didnt. Given that this information is never mentioned, or that only 6 thousand people have cast their votes in favor of Knockin' on Heaven's Door IMDB or the fact that it is made in Germany instead of Hollywood.
This movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. An unadulterated Bucket List, brutal in its truth, but funny. There are no miracles, no breaks, no rich guys to give you happy endings.
Granted it does have comedic value to it, and the protagonists do get into a whole amplitude of dubious situations, it still remains true to itself, true to its message.
Well, don't listen to me mumbling, just watch. It's one of the most important movies of the last century you might've overlooked!
Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
Ship the run good + play good! Only 12 hours after finishing reading SlowHabit's new book I had the best day of my poker career in terms of winnings and just overall play. My decisions felt all around a lot more crisp and defined. I deployed a couple of his techniques against some of the regulars. A couple of them didn't work but I took notes and hopefully it will set something up for the future.
im thinking about getting a stake
anyone interested in staking me 2/4 - 10/20 and online tournaments
80% HU
across 2-3 sites
maybe for 6 months.
graphs, details, positive recommendations and everything availiable on request.
get in touch.
do we keep playing hoping he will unbecome jesus eventually or do we run to another table as soon as shit becomes evident? Took me a little while to stop being amused and retreat
i know i played these bad but i was tilted at the point because he ran hot every hand he played and all of this happened within like 5 minutes

Well i decided at the beginning of this month that i will try and get the 200k milestone bonus on stars. So, ive been playing quite a lot in the attempt to stay on pace to make 72k vpp's over these 2 months.
This may not sound too hard to some of you but tbh i dont play much at all, previously my biggest volume month was last month which was only like 65k hands lol, so to do 220k hands in 2 months where xmas and new years etc is coming up is a challenge for me :D
So today i played a 10k hand session which took 10.67 hours 16 tabling, was pretty tired of poker towards the end
Results are good, just under $900 which makes up for how poorly ive run so far this month a little.
I have no idea how people do this almost every day for a year, its ridiculous.
Made and excel sheet to keep track of my pace and im ahead now thanks to this session~
After being extremely unsatisfied with my game at 100nl I made a cashout and moved down to 25nl to completely rework things. I used to be one of the biggest winners at 100nl-200nl for a longtime. This is back in 2006-2007. But times have changed. I felt like I was getting owned in 3bet pots and really playing bad overall. I mean dont get me wrong I was still winning like 4bb100 or whatever but I just wasnt feeling confident in my game. I felt like a lot of the regulars were owning me bad and I was just getting money from the fish. And ya I mean a lot of them were just retarded aggro monkeys but still they were putting me in super tough spots that I def wasnt comfortable being in. The game has changed a lot and I had to man up and admit that my skill level hasnt increased with the competition over the years. So basically what I did was really try too up my aggression. I had been brainwashed by the cardrunners cbet flop then give up unless scare card hits style for far too many years. So what did I do? I unleashed the beast. Careful to always stay mindful of whats going on and my image.. I think how can I win this pot, whats my opponents range etc. If I think he is marginal I will overbet all streets and he cant call with his random trash... and if he does I insta adjust. I find by 3 barrel bluffing a ton I pickup so many decent sized pots that it more than makes up for the badbeats I get. This goes back to what doyle says in super system. (btw I recommend his new autobio its amazing) Anyways I play 6 tables now usually only like 1-1.5k hands a day or so. Lifes going pretty good. Probably going back to school next year.. which will be exciting for sure. Also have a 2k prop bet going with someone I know. Its a 6 month bet of who can lose the highest % of BF %. So this will def get me off my ass and in the gym every night. Also the dieting and exercise will help my focus and stamina.
19k hands played, was up about 1.5k for the month before dropping 800 in a stupid session today at 1/2 ofc
seems i can never really string together consistent results at 1/2 yet. I've only played about 58k hands to date at 1/2 tho, so the sample is still pretty small. Over this sample i'm down about 4-5 BI, so its nothing major....
otoh, i have a 20 pg paper due that i havent started yet and it's due on the 18th.
Also, played some FTOPS satellites today and turned 2 75$ tokens in to about 800$ in t monies. /whee
also , i ahve the flu and i hope to fuck it isnt swine.
Took my first shot of nl50 today and ran really well. Hit my sets and got paid off on most of them. Went up 3.5 bi which is a pretty big increase to my bankroll. Really wish I had the first time deposit bonus though, but I deposited $100 back in the day and wasted it. Here is my lifetime graph, I find it pretty amusing. You can guess where I started playing nl50
masta33 bets $0.50
Hero has 15 seconds left to act
Hero raises to $32, and is all in
masta33 calls $16.60, and is all in
Uncalled bet of $14.90 returned to Hero
Showdown Hero shows two pair, Queens and Sixes
masta33 shows a flush, Ace high
masta33 wins the pot ($67.95) with a flush, Ace high
Hero adds $35.10
