Only played one session, won a bi or so on PLO600 but lost a bit more on PLO1k and broke even in NL1k and NL2k. Made a couple of big laydowns in the omaha, and unless people tried to bluff me of full houses a lot I think they were good. Didn't get any hands at all pretty much but the tables in NL were fairly tight so it worked out anyway. Lost a couple of medium pots to joe though, which kinda sucked. I had basically fucked with him a ton post flop and won a lot of small pots and I think he noticed since he started to 3bet a lot and I got into a really crappy spot with what vs most other 10/20 regs would be a rivershove when I slowplayed a very big hand pf, got a good flop and ended up folding to joe's third barrel when everything missed and I could only put him on like 4 combos for value. In retrospect I should probably call for a split but I just got this superweird feeling and decided to make what I'd like to call a "brain fart"-fold. I dunno, that kinda sucked.

Feels good to not play so much though, going to lectures which are somewhat interesting and have started watching prison break, which seems better then expected.

I've become so nitty that people couldn't stack me, or at times don't want to play for stacks even when they have cracked my overpairs.

On the other hand I miss so much values e.g. I wouldn't put in a raise on a semi-scary boards with a limped set.

Overall it results in a low varianace, modest winning style so I guess that's okay.

So how do I not get stacked?

55 Bottom set 4-way minraised pot + Show Spoiler +

QQ sick flop non-standard check, call-down is standard BTW (since villain's line is monster or bluff) + Show Spoiler +

AhAc multiway in position flop Kc7c3c + Show Spoiler +

Older hands. 77 Set limped pot boat on river + Show Spoiler +

QQ a preflop situation, got exactly what I wanted (shortie 3bet all in after I flatted the original raise) but then 80BB-UTG 4bet me. + Show Spoiler +

QQ reraised pot J-hi board + Show Spoiler +

AA lolwut, well discussed before + Show Spoiler +

Q4hh Limped pot top 2 on flop + Show Spoiler +

[edit -- added] 77 Limped set scary flop so let's play it feeeeeeeeeeeeeebly......+ Show Spoiler +

JJ 1/2 year old hand. epic damage control, when I was still playing NL100 + Show Spoiler +

Basically gave FTP the middle finger and decided to play the most hands I've ever played in a day.

Also won my biggest pot ever today for ~$196. Aces held up versus Kings! OMG INSANE!!!!!!

hey guys just wanted to introduce myself here. im a 23 year food engineer student from germany. been lurking for a while and decided to use this place to brag/whine about my poker restart.
i played for like 6months or so in 2007 , mostly 25nl and some in the end 50nl. made like 2k but lost the passion and eventually had to cash out all of it cause of real life circumstances.
deposited like 10-20 bucks a few times over the last 2 years just to satisfy the farha in me and donked it off immediately.
but now i want to take it seriously again. deposited 50$ to PS and started grinding 2nl the last week with the intention to move up to 5nl at 100$. i started running hot and now im already at 5nl - YAY to myself!
heres the graph of last weeks micro grindaments:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/3531c.october.jpg

im planning to grind NL5 to 250$-300$ and move my roll to FTP to get rakeback. that would definately benefit me , right? or are there flaws with FTP nowadays? suggestions about that are welcome...

thats it! be nice to me LP!

I'll be the first to admit I'm not good at PLO, but there are some seriously bad players handing their money to me tonight. This is my first time grinding a decently long session at PLO and I'm pretty happy with my results thus far. I'll edit in a few hands in a minute.

a couple hours after my post about the bad beat jackpot i get a PM from NeillyJQ saying:

i have my online mtt action covered on stars, live action covered by local pro and friend, and looking for online action covered on Cake Poker. Looking for $1500-$2000, play until $12,000 (1-3 month investment) (terms negotiable)

Chop goes 7k to you 5k me at end after investment or however we negotiate. Make-up is loan makeup- which means if i lose it i pay back 50% of your investment when I have a 15k bankroll. (in essence your covering 50% my buy-in)

If you cant and know someone who can forward me to them.

I have all my PT3 since moving back from vegas you can see at any time.

You can always watch me play via teamviewer / skype if you can help me or know someone who can. im selling all my action prolly til 2010 unless something magical happens.

Lemme know,
Ryan

what the fuck is wrong with this guy? i'm cool with him posting on his own blog about needing a stake and all but really? asking a guy you've never talked to once in your life? this is like the most retarded PM i've ever received. who the fuck wants to give 1.5k to a kid that has no credibility with me?

I feel pretty comfortable at 5/10 but I'm still having issues with tilt lately. I hit a peak at about $200 and dropped over 10 buyins.

This hand is what set me off and after that I went on complete spewing spree :

The title, even though just there to draw attention, is true. I don't mean, like, a gynaecological picture though.

So since I have a target and I consider myself a pro (well, I live from poker), I decided to be a bit more disciplined and play more. I really didn't feel like it today, but when you have a real job you can hardly phone up your boss and say "Hey mate, it's Oly... yeah... look, I can't come in today... nah... I just don't really feel like it; I think instead I'll just sit in front of my computer and watch old Simpsons episodes with my hand down my trousers slowly touching my cock until afterwards I finish myself off in front of some hardcore porn." So I dumped off 3 buyins on slightly -ev bluffs into the nuts and quit. Those two sentences are unrelated.

I had a mental halloween as intended. I dressed as a WW2 RAF officer, cos my mate (the bearded one next to me, I'm in the middle) is into clothing and stuff (not fashion ugh), so leant me his actual uniform he got from some army shop with the words "do what you like with it as long as you don't rip it up, dry cleaners are fucking clever". So this is us before going out:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/39e7f.DSC00252.JPG

We knew about a recently closed children's hospital in town and thought we would break in. It was seriously amazing. We got to look round all the old operating theatres and stuff. obviously all the kit had been taken out but you could work out just about what was what. We even went in the morgue downstairs. Spooky! Sadly not too many pictures because we only had mobiles for lights and by this time already, my bloodstream was flowing with quite a complex solution, and I always forget to take pics when fucked. Here is a picture of me next to a kiddie picture on the wall, the best I could get by way of evidence:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/2a5b8.Captureme.JPG


After that we went to a a party. Since I was hammered on MDMA I get really lovey and flirty but also very impatient, so was just running round doing what you might call pussy teasing. I later found out that a large number of girls there were lesbians, so my memories may be somewhat happier than the actual occasion. I think it's ok though cos they all know me from the past and give me some leeway lol.

In the morning I thought I was going to die but I had to go for Sunday lunch with my mum, dad, granny and uncle and it was very difficult. "yeah, it was a lovely party... yeah I just had a couple of pints... (but you got back at 6!)... we just stayed up talking and forgot about the time... more apple juice please... now... do you have any paracetamol?". Anyway I think I pulled off being kookily charming. My family already thinks I'm a weirdo so I can get away with it.

I am a technology fish and only today did I get a usb wire for my phone. This means I can relate a story that happened a few weeks ago. I was up in London visiting a friend when I receive this:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/693b3.SL384100.jpg

That is the promised picture. On my little phone screen I couldn't see any face at all, but her body looks exactly like that of this girl I had just started seeing (though I didn't remember the belly button stud, that confused me). Also the underwear is the same so I was sure it was her, even though it was from a different number. I replied something along the lines of "you look fucking hot babe; back in Brighton on Monday...". The next day I get a text saying "I'm sorry! I'm so embarassed! I sent that to the wrong number! But thanks for the compliment!". So that evening I got a friend to draw a smily face on my arse and I texted that to her. I am obviously not posting that here. She hasn't replied, which is a shame, as I hoped she might continue a fun game, but whatever. I now have a plan to push this even further and have just made a little hat for my cock for the next picture. I hope I don't get arrested.

p.s. LP admins, you know what would be really cool... a little button to save a draft of a blog entry as I go along so I don't lose it all when I accidentally navigate away, which is annoying. Or maybe even a popup window warning me I will lose my message like hotmail has. One can never write an entry with quite the same love the second time around. Luckily here I only lost the first few lines.

p.p.s. I just realised that this is really long and nobody has read it, so I can safely call you a cunt. You cunt.

p.p.p.s. If you have read this far, you obviously like reading, so may I suggest reading anything by Hadley Freeman who writes for the Guardian. I am in love with her and shall marry her.

my windows crashed a few times. i lost a lot of data which is really annoying.. including handhistories and notes and ofcourse a lot of pictures and music. also means i cant do a monthly graph

my new appartment is getting shaped up a little bit. i also got an office space that i share with other people in the beautifull centre of Amsterdam. it's awesome to get away from grinding in my bedroom.

all the expenses (including very large security deposits) are putting some pressure on the bankroll though. not happy with this development since i would like to increase the BR and be able to take controlled shots at 400nl.
as you might know from experience moving is very taxing and i also took a weak off the grind to chill out in Amsterdam and do some catching up in the reading department. so fewer hands then i would have liked maybe around 50-60k? but the results seem from account balance to have been very reasonable.

on a very cool note: RobertFripp2 (stars 200nl FR grindbeast and now also a HUHERO) is visiting me in Amsterdam from Buenos Aires. i'm going to feed him all the disgusting dutch food i can find and tank the dutch specialty liquors ofcourse hehe)

oh and gororok piss off from my tables and stop 3betting me
