1st month of poker since NL50 in Feb. ran hot first few days at NL50 coming back. moved up to NL100 and stayed there, played a few thousand NL50 hands when I was bored.
that huge drop around hand 80k is due to fucking rust from a week vacation of no poker. somehow I managed to get my groove back :D
my red line has recovered from -3600 to -2500 since hand 70k. It's actually trending upwards now instead of just going down forever, I hope that continues!
The long story short: I need someone who has a moneybookers account to send me $25.
The long story long:
I have exactly $63 stuck in my Propaganda poker account and I want out of there.
I had my moneybookers account confirmed by propaganda, but now that they've moved to betsafe, I have to confirm AGAIN. (I talked to support, and it is the only way)
So, in order to withdraw the money, I have to confirm my moneybookers account by depositing at least 15€ which is $22.23.
So who can help me by lending me $25?
I will use your money to withdraw my money and then I send you back your money.
PM me if you can help out, and I will send you my account adress.
If NLHE is the Cadillac of poker...by acdawg712, October 29
then what is PLO?
I was thinking something European. Cadillac is the 'best' American car, I guess you would pick a high end European brand but then again it originated in America. I'd also want something that reflects the gamble nature of the game.
For now, I'm going to go with Pot Limit Omaha: The GM or BMW of poker
In essence, we are splitting the tournaments itlr, but you are covering my 50% of the games right now because I'm not currently rolled for the games after my recent move across the states, new car, place, life, a couple downswings, etc.. You may also cover any sundays 55 and higher
Just grinding NL50 right now and looking to be at 10k soon to be back at NL100.
but have been playing alot of FR this month, and it has been like free monies. every1 at 50 and 100nl really sux. the regs are horrible and dont know how to even valuebet properly vs 80VPIP fish, they play every hand with potcontrol like it was vs a nitty reg giving them action. they sux at adjusting is what ive noticed so far is what im trying to say
anyways i filtered my hands, some scary shit (from last 3 months)
Since i dont get much time to fuck around and photoshop LP stuff these days, I thought id share what i spend most of my time doing at work - which is doodling.
Its something ive always done ever since school and any piece of paper im ever given inevitably ends up with doodles around the border.
I have years and years of work which has slipped into the abyss by being thrown out or drawn over, or stolen by someone.
But since i now have a camera phone, I thought i might start documenting my pictures for future reference.
So here are some of the highlights from my recent scribbling sprees. As you can see the medium of choice is biro. I perfer black but the office insists on only buying blue which is kinda tilting coz everything looking cooler with black ink.
zomg I didn't luckbox EV for once! First time in 8 sessions! Pretty epic heater imo.
I think fish bashing is probably the most fun thing ever. I'm going to post all the hands that I found amusing.
Not really one hand, but ez 5bi at NL100 off massively tilted person + Show Spoiler +

Last hand my roommate (dabbles at NL25) was watching me. When I saw the J river, I gave him this crazy look and I was like NOBODY CAN FOLD TRIPS WATCH THIS
Ive been playing for over a year now and I have nothing to show for it. The high point in my bankroll was over 8 months ago and since then I've never been over $1500. Part of me wonders if this game is just some unreal dream I'll never experience and I think lately that is becoming more and more apparent, especially with so many mid stakes players experiencing the biggest lows in their careers and shit. I realize a year is nothing if you ever want to be successful at anything, but I'm not asking to be the best, I just want to be a winner.
I've made a promise to myself. If my bankroll is not over $2,000 by January 1st, 2010 I will quit poker and never look back.
Doomer and Mezs' blogs have inspired me to write a long entry as well, here it goes:
So poker has been owning me pretty hard lately and I'm a little unsure of how to approach it honestly. 2 months ago I took some "shots" in higher buyin tournaments that I normally don't play. One of these "shots" was in Barcelona where I went with Clay and his sister. I played 2 1k's (i think), 1 2k, some super sats to the main, and a bunch of 2/5 and 5/10 euro cash. The cash games there were a JOKE. Seriously the Spainards have to be the worst poker playing culture in the world! 5/10 euro there compares to like 2NL online, it was ridiculous. I started off running pretty badly in cash losing about 2-3k euros and could never really get anything going in the first few tournaments I played in.
About the 3rd or 4th day there I played in the 2k euro, which was a lot of fun. I had William Thorsson or w/e to my right for a big part of day 1 and he was raising every hand preflop and trying to bluff everyone cus he's so awesome at poker. Everytime he would play a hand, I would just think of Saki's rant blog about him and just lol in my head. I ended up doing really well in day 1 and had around 60k (750/1500/100 blinds i think) going into day 2 with 40ish left and 27 making the money.
After day 2 started, I busted in 4 hands. 1st one I fold some trash utg+2, 2nd I min-raise up A9s from utg+1 and crazy looking euro guy calls in MP. I double barrel a QxxK board and he tanked forever on the turn and shoved on me, fml oh well. Next hand I get AK utg and min-r again, folds to older man euro in bb and he flats, I missed flop and it goes ck/ck, then he bets a blank turn and I fold. My bustout hand I pick up AK in the BB and good online player raises utg and the same crazy euro looking guy flats in mp, I have a little over 20bb's left, so I just ship it in. Online guy folds his QJs right away obv and then the euro tanks again forever. I tell him I'm on massive tilt and want to be knocked out. This tilts him into calling me with 22. First card on flop was a 2 and I was out. BIG SIGH.....first was around 150k euros too...oh well.
From there on out, I just grinded a bunch of cash and a few more tourneys maybe. I had no success in them but I did manage to grind back all my losses from tournaments in cash, so as far as poker playing goes, I broke even on the trip which isn't too bad I guess. Overall was a pretty exciting trip and I def learned a lot more about poker from talking with Clay and a few others.
When I got back from Barcelona, I was super motivated to grind big tournaments and take more shots at 3/6. Well in short, I ran terribly and maybe played a tad spewy in certain spots in the WCOOP series (bubbled like 3). My 3/6 shot also went terrible as I lost 7k in about 2k hands (4k below EV). Also just been getting owned at 2/4 on ftp and stars recently. I think I've been a bit spewy lately and on ftp, I sorta just assumed the regs would play the same as on stars, which doesn't seem to be true at all.
The one positive thing lately has been staking. I've staked 2 of my good friends irl to play in a 2/4 game back where I use to live in TN. They've both had mixed results but they're both improving a ton and starting to make me a bit of money. Also, I've been staking strato for a bunch of sunday tournaments and he had a sick 10k+ score, so that was nice too.
Since then, my bad run has continued and I think I'm going to do what Clay did to regain focus and motivation to play. Going to move down to 100NL on Stars and only move up once I have made 20 buyins at each level. I'll probably post results if they are pretty to look at lol. We'll see how it goes.
Also I run terrible with women lately and I hate them all. f m l
