Back in business (with graphs!!)by Oly, October 31
So about a year ago I got scammed by wakeboarrder, threw all my toys out of the pram, and flounced off from LP. Well, obviously the draw of this place proved too much so I might as well recontinue the blog. A bit of time ago I found this on 2p2. If you look at the later pages you see wakeboarrder getting roundly humiliated. Oh the sweet fucking justice. The sheer schadenfreude.
I have spent the past year being an alcoholic, drug addled womaniser and hence have been stuck at 1/2 for all that time. Even though I have a winrate over 5BB/100, and won longterm at 2/4 when I was there. Before I blew most of my roll on other shit. I have spent this time playing the minimum hands each week to support my lifestyle, as there are other things I am aiming towards than poker or money, and as long as I have enough money for the basics I'm quite happy. In the last couple of weeks I have decided to push back to 2/4 and then dedicate a huge portion of my free time to laying myself a financial buffer for when my attention completely moves elsewhere, so this is to document how that goes.
Variance: It's hallowe'en yay! We are having a fucking huge rave on the forest and I'm going to take so much shit that I glow in the dark. Also the girl who I hope is in the bank says she is coming dressed as cauliflower cheese. What?
That girl looks a bit, but not exactly, like this:
And to finish off, some football porn. WATCH THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL!! I am on a mission to remind the world that Matt Le Tissier was the greatest. Ronaldo et al can't do this shit:
Also, shoutouts to RockingBastard and Oskar, keep spewing yo. And night20one or whatever, you seemed to be having a nightmare yesterday and I'm not Twisted or Myth but if you ever want a sweat or some shit, I'll be happy to help if I can.
Very pleasing month, didn't put in the volume (a lot of HU) but did do some good smashing. Best month to date, which is pretty sweet seeing how this was at NL1.
Had a little downswing there for a little bit, but its on its way back up to being 5bb/100. hopefully soon I will have enough to play nl50 and have a big enough roll to not play thru the varience. Also not a bad month for SnG's and MTT's sharkscope shows me up about 1.3k for the month as well so about total of 1.5k in profits for the month.
Hope to put in about 30k hands next month and continute to crush nl25
Well its late im stoned and tired going to go blaze one more watch some tv and pass the fuck out
Playing bad not sure where I'm going wrong tbh. My redline is 100x worse than usual I guess I'm giving up on pots a ton without realizing I shouldn't.. I felt like I was playing well through this session (the last 2k hands) and apparently I wasn't.
I guess I am not 100% following my thoughts when I play and a lot of people are disagreeing with my hands so.. guess I have to figure out how to fix it. Check my hand history for a couple of hands with a lot of posts/discussion if you're interested. Wouldn't mind more thoughts or deeper explanations.
It looks like I'm over valuing hands a ton and it looks to be a consistent theme for as long as I've played (I remember in nl25 people were telling me I was overvaluing 2pair and stuff) but I seem to be terrible at understanding why.. whenever I see value I go for it but apparently I'm seeing value where there isn't any too often....
I'm going to 4 table 1/2 and pray tomorrow and sunday (unless I lose 5more bi). Supposed to go party with my good friend who's in town tonight.. going now and hopefully my life outlook improves eh..
don't really feel like posting graphs since i made a new database, but pretty much all of october was grinding nl10, moving up to nl25, running bad, regrinding nl10, moving up to nl25, running bad, regrinding nl10..etc
it sucks because i'm at a limit where people are basically throwing their money at me, but i can never win a hand.
so im pretty much break even for october.
-155.10 at nl25
-163.60 at nl25 6 max
+276.10 at nl10
+23.15 at nl10 6 max
+5.89 at nl5
I have this problem that when I haven't touched poker in a while, I get really cold and start shivering. It actually takes away from my play because I'm continually thinking "Jeebus it's cold in here". Brrrrr...
I played one session in October, it was just now, and I lost some money.
*shrug* Oh well. Here's an e-mail I got from FTP:
Dear XXXXX,
Thank you for playing on our tables after 29 days of absence. Full Tilt Poker would like to reward you with a shit ton of coolers.
kthx,
Howard Lederer
PS: FACKAHHH YOU DOLPHINNNN
Thus ends my boring blog. No pictures or graphs, since I just installed Windows 7 and haven't gotten my poker stuff aligned yet.
I really only update monthly just in case WBCOOP comes up.
september was fantastic for me, my first robusto month to date. ending almost 8000€+
with my head maybe a little to high october started horrible.. started off with a 50 buy in downswing, had to step back to 50nl and have recovered really well these last 2 weeks of grinding at first 50nl and the last 20k hands 100nl again with great success.
€ wise im still down about 1000€ this month, but with the 1800€ rakeback coming in now after the weekend october will still end up a little in the green.
ill take the day off tomorrow since its halloween and shit.
i hope november will be a good one, since ill be able to start off with a good roll for 100nl once again. im planning on playing 100k hands next month with alittle other goals like exercise/eat more healthy. with a more "helathy" time schedual, getting out of bed in the morning and stuff. doing most of the grind like a 9-5 jobish style.
My gf entered a brazilian makeup contest, its a 8 min video, you donn't have to check out the whole thing, the end result is at 6:21 to 7:20. Check it out, link is below. If you liked it please give her 5 stars, thanks.
well were going to see the lawyer today since the case is infact a homicide. what makes it a homicide is mike was hit from behind by another speeding car (2 26 year old black kids) yea, as if i dint like black people enuff already. his certificate reads "blunt head trauma, skull fracturing and brain injurys"
i have been playing some 10nl and my 5.25 HU sng's. steadily winning at 10nl and quite frankly beating the $5 hu's on stars.
sometimes i get the feeling hes making me lose KK to 82s preflop in ring games on purpose...its like hes fucking with me lol

I can somewhat relate to everyone that complains about HU variance now because this happened enough to make me lose 4bi lol. It didn't get to me though, and that made me feel pretty good. I ended up winning most of it back.
An LP reg sat with me and I ran pretty hot against him (won a 240bb pot with Q4hh on 356hh vs QQ). Then I played this hand which I'm pretty happy about:

Aside from A-high calls being cool and all, that's not the real reason this hand made my day.
I was talking with my girlfriend who doesn't really know how to play poker, but she knows that I do. I showed her this hand and she goes:
