Poker Blogs

All of my bitching and moaning the last few days has given me an opportunity to review SlowHabit's new book for free. I'll be taking some time off the tables the next few days so this will give me some time to read through it and hopefully learn a lot. I'll be posting up a brutally honest review after wards and let you all know how it is. You can read about it SlowHabit's website. This is the same site with the CTS' book that was greatly discussed on here. I should have the review up in a day or so after I finish reading it. Here's more info:

As far as poker goes I've been going out of my mind recently. Sessions have been ridiculously swingy with me starting off going negative immediately, grinding back, and then slamming back down. I've just been grinding it out and sticking to it. I probably would have given up had I not recently bought a 24" monitor but it's kept me motivated to grind and I'm on pace to play the most hands I've ever played in one month + I was on vacation for a week away from everything and I work full-time. I probably bitch and moan as much as everyone on here, and maybe even more, but I'm also the kind to celebrate when something goes good too.

This hand gave me so much joy preflop, crushed my heart on the turn, and gave me life on the river. I'm not close to going busto but I am close to going insane. So here it is:

And here's my graph for the month:

...and feeling bad about it.

yesterday i was sitting here with a mate drinking beer and ranting about various poker stuff while browsing the lobby for cool games to spectate.after 1 hour and a few beers later i randomly click on a 1/2 table and a guy with a 900$ stack gets my attention immediately and im like "look at this lucky fag , sitting with almost 1000$ there!". my mate looks at the name and says "haha i know this guy. i was sitting on a micro 180 FT with him. he was shit talking to ppl all the time". we open up ptr.com and look him up. turns out hes -2000$ on 1/2 over 500 hands or so. we also find out that i donked off around 500$ over the past 2 years with my small deposits. we have a good laugh about my huge fail and then come back to the 1/2 table. my mate a bit drunk already proposes like a true degen "lets get this guys money!". naturally at first i say no but eventually he convices me to buy in for the minimum of 40$ (remember thats still 4 buyins at my regular limit) with the deal that if we lose it he will pay the alcohol next weekend.
long story short - after 30minutes of 1/2 gambling im sitting there with 308$ when i call it a day after losing our first bigger pot. we couldve won more of that guy probably but we played so scared money. we checked KK 2 times on a 25T9J board cause villain played his AT so aggresive and we didnt get it in with JJ on a AJ8 flop cause we were afraid of aces hahahaha.
so now im sitting here with a 500+$ roll ready to play nl25 just after 2 weeks of starting at nl2 with 50$ and im kinda feeling bad about it!

I didn't play in Oct, so November was my month to get back into it. Luckily for me, November is "Run 11bb/100 Under EV Month" at FTP, so it's been really exciting.

Oh well, it's ski season soon, which means that it's psychologically impossible to be unhappy. I've got 10 trips to NH slated: Bretton Woods, G-Rock (for when I'm drinking in Boston the night before), and some others. Plus Jackson Hole and maybe St. Moritz! I think I'm going to go buy myself a pair of these:

On the topic of other fun stuff, I'm going to buy a PS3 this week for the sole purpose of playing Tekken 6. Are there any other Tekken-heads out there?

Run good everyone.

Just had a 7bi session at nl25 on stars today and also finally unlocked my reload bonus after 5k vips, bringing my roll to over 1k. Asking edzwoo to help me transfer my roll from stars to ftp, I deposited $100 back in the day so no bonus for me :-(. Hopefully I'll be taking my first shot of nl50 tomorrow. Thought it was time to start a blog. Been at nl25 for the past month with a lot of breakeven sessions. Almost took a break, but it looks like this was the session I needed to keep playing. Pretty excited about moving up.

Helping a friend move his roll to FTP for rakeback.

I need $1184 of your FTP money, and will give you $1184 on Stars.

You send first unless I know you, we can do increments if you want.

I got ITM in yesterdays daily dollar. I was really high on my pain medication for my back and some weed so I ended up passing out with 8000 chips in around 900th place. I wake up to find that I landed somewhere in 538th NOT BAD. WISH I wouldn't have passed out though, I prob woulda lost anyways but maybe coulda gotten farther into the bubble. This tourney is hardcore. I don't remember what time I passed out at,(Maybe around 12-1.)

538 out of 10000 people, isn't to shabby

~$200

Because of all the possible ways to scam with PayPal I'm not doing this with anyone not reputable.

edit: nvm, don't need a transfer right now maybe in a few days~

I guess it will kind of spam the blogs on LP if I post a graph every day, so I'll just post them in here after each day. Here is day one! Kind of a sick heater, but it feels so nice to get 19% ROI 50 tabling muahaha. Honestly, I've been below EV for a long time, so this isn't really a brag or anything, just me running way over EV ^^

I've wanted an imac for some time just because its sexy but that have never justified buying it, but when they recently released it with a 27" screen to a reduced price i had to get one.

So far i love it and its way more comfortable with one big in front of me instead of two small screens. Was a bit disappointed with that it could only fit 6 full size tables with no overlap (i think 30" can fit 9 or 12?), but since i play 6 most of the time and 8 tops it wont be too much of a problem. Windows 7 runs smoothly on it too (i use windows just for poker and os x whenever im doing other shit).
