i was forced to take off from work today becuase i drank to mucch scotch with my mother. she also took off from work. i threw up in waves around 7:00am, i felt alot better after that. my boss told me i had to work in the city today(manhatten) and me and my shop are in queens. i would have been changing live elecctric panels in a 40 story building. im an elecctrician.
i have been crushing $5 heads up sng's also doing well in 10NL
my fucking god damn c key is broken and inconsistent so if there are any typos just add a fucking c in there and see if it makes sence
After about 7 minutes of playing, I had 350 big blinds and I asked pinball to give me odds on winning this donkament (since I wanted to bet like 10 dollars), but he gave me 2:1 so that kind of sucked.
is everything going wrong? or is everything going right?
I think everything is going as planned.
I had a rough couple of weeks, but i think in the greater scheme of things, this is how its supposed to be. Everything happens for a reason.
1/2 and lol drunken old towniesby JoeDeertay, October 20
Ok, so I'm a little drunk right now so forgive me for any errors in the upcoming post. I went to play 1/2 today at a friend's place and won about $125, and my friend Sam was there and he won $400+, so we decided that when the game broke at 1am to go to a local bar in town. We met up with a few of his cute friends there (although he called dibs on the cutest one early, so fml imo) and started catching up with them quick while the bar was closing in the last half hour we were actually there. While we were chugging pitchers, this one guy kept telling me about how he was 43 and was complaining about his life because he was wasted and was at the bar alone, and kept saying how hot our friends were and that he wanted to get it in with at least one of them. So after last call my friend Sam and I run to a bottle shop like a block away to get there before they close, then we meet up with the chicks we were with outside the bar and chill on a bunch for a while as they smoke a bit and try to sober up. Meanwhile, this old douchebag from the bar walks by and and starts talking shit about how he has a 10 inch dick and he is wondering why the girls are with us instead of him, and all other kinds of bullshit, so I jsut start having fun and going back and forth with him.
Eventually he says that he really only has a 7 inch dick but it's really thick around, so I tell him he has a chode and he thinks I called him a toad, so he gets pissed and throws this bag he is holding at me, and I get up and ask him if he really wants to do it and he says yeah, so I get ready to beat his ass. Then Sam and the girls tell me to just walk away and we start making our way to their apartment, and the guy says something about how I'm obv smart based on my chat and therefore he will leave us alone. So we go to their apartment building and all of the sudden he comes back screaming shit at us about how he doesn't understand why the girls came home with us and how he is going to rape the two of us. I procede to say something like, "so you are going to fuck us right here in the ass, huh? Come on then, I can't wait" as I bend over and keep pointing to my asshole, which gets him really pissed off and he starts coming at me. Then we get face to face and the girls are obv scared shitless at this point and Sam keeps telling all of us to come inside the building and close the door, and as I'm the last one in closing the door I tell him to "have fun on the internet with yourself later faggot" and he procedes to start punching the glass doors to the apartment building with a clenched fist over and over again.
I REALLY wanted to kick his ass with the help of Sam, but apparently Sam is a pussy and was more concerned with fucking this Kaitlyn girl we were hanging with at the time then beating down some 43 year old asshole that clearly was asking for it. I had a 6pack of Dos Equis in my hand at the time, and if I really needed it I was prepared to break one of them over this mother fucker's head and put him in a god damn arm bar to make him beg for mercy later. Would have been sweet. I broke my jaw in 3 places over this kind of bullshit in July, but I was fucking ready to do it again for sure, esp if it ended up in me getting some kind of 8+ pussy tonight (although it didn't happen because there was no fight and I didn't really like the other girl we were with, so eh).
I had the $50 deposit bonus and I finally made it to 425 points, but now the thing in the Bonus Status screen is gone...how do I redeem my points for that bonus?
When you spend like 1 hours to win only 1 buyin and then lose all of it in 1 hand, you say to yourself "ok no problem, shit happens" but when you spend like 4 hours and still getting this shit, and don't move up, you can't help but wondering if you're playing it right... And then you lose the confidence...

Argh.
Hello. I am excited about getting back into poker. Recently, I've been running good in life. My future education plans have solidified. A close friend from college has come back into town to room with me. He is set on starting his career in poker. All in all, conditions are perfect right now for me to get back into the game. I'll be playing microstakes to work on my fundamentals and slowly get my head into the game. I'm looking forward to getting some great advice from people here.
grinding the quarter for nowby kyodaix, October 19
I used to play 50nl and 100nl and just cashed out most my roll recently. I'm going to try and rebuild at 25nl again FR and it seems that the 50bb tables are not that fish/retard infested as it used to be early this year, but obviously I could be wrong and just played at a bad time. Anyway I'll be posting graphs soon enough and going to be grinding a lot more hands than usual since I've taken a long break now and I feel quite refreshed to be back playing poker again.
My road to high stakesby DustySwedeDude, October 19
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough When you get knocked down you gotta get back up, I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know, If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
I'm sure that if I just hit my head against that god damned wall enough times it'll break. My head is good that way. It's like a less cool and slightly uglier version of Rocky Balboa's.
One year from now I'll read this post again and be all like; "REDNECK PRIDE!"
Except I kinda like black people. So only the funny parts. Not the parts about dressing up in white sheets and burning stuff.
Confidence & motivation regained?by flounder44, October 19
During Mid august i went on a massive heater and got up to 4k from 100nl. I took a 200nl shot at 4.8k and got up to 7.2k peak to late august. Then the doomswitch happened.... i went from 7.2k all the way down to 5k in 48 hrs(11 buyins or so)... I was geting owned hard by good regs/reg fishes/ whales and shortstacks. Got it in plenty of times with overpair vs toppair and it never held once.
Early september i cashed out like 1.5kish cuz i was going on midlife crisis and hating fulltilt... just seeing 2 cards together made my stomach sick. So i refused to play another hand until i felt like it again which was about a period of 30days or so. In the meantime i focused on school/classical guitar/dota/SF4/drinking on a regular basis to get my mind off poker. I seriously considered quitting and cashing the rest out (4kish after cashing out 1.5k). The only poker i playd was when my rich friend offered to stake me for sunday million cuz hes a huge degen... that was a pretty good waste of 215$.
Bouncing back:
Then the other day i was at my friends house(i go there almost every day) and i was bored since he wasnt there yet, so i booted up 3 tables of 200nl 6max. (Before my short hiatus I was 6-8 tabling 200nl lol.) This time it was different tho... from 15vpip i was playing 30vpip and putting people on tilt/making bad calls/folds etc. I was about even at friends comp.
Then i got home pretty early that night yesterday (12am) and din't feel like sleeping.
So like a true degen at 12am i boot up an HU table vs any reg and play cards(normally i played 2-3 hu tables). He made a lot of out of line bets where I would bet flop, then 20 on 27 turn and he'd always reraise me some weirdass amt. And i actually had the goods a few times and he got caught out of line... then he got really lucky when he went allin on QK4cc Tc turn when he had Ac9h on 3b pot and i had AJo and he rivers Jd for split. This was the last hand before he jet. + Show Spoiler +
