Poker Blogs

Anyone ever had an issue with unstable internet? Mine has been going in and out every few minutes when I play poker, pokerstars lists my connection as 20%-80% for most of the time when it usually sits at 100%. It's been doing this for about a week now, tech support didn't offer any help other than to reset my modem. Anyone know what this could be? my ISP is COX

Also, does this have to be a problem with the internet or could this be caused somehow by my computer with a virus or a lack of RAM or something?

Made my first 'real' deposit (not counting 50$ one time like a year ago that I used to donk off slowly) and have been running 3bb/pt over like 10k hands on FTP NL25 FR. I ran sick hot for the first few sessions but have leveled off since. Im starting to make better folds and am getting reads and trustworthy notes on a lot of players. Im sticking to 2 and 4 tabling for now since my robot poker 9+ table mode is a losing proposition right now. The first 50$ I donked off before was used to robot mode NL2 since it was so tilting trying to play cheeseburgers. W/e live learn abahlbhllhabhlab

Ive also been making some MTT days and am playing a bunch of the 5.50r, 3.30r, Daily Double, and Midnight Madness tourneys. Im cashing prolly 75% of the time but I keep running into a bad beat/cooler when I get deep and havent made a final table yet. I also cashed 3 out of the 5 Mini FTOPS events I played last go around but made a few bad moves deep and missed out on big money. I hope to pepper the tourney performances thread with a few take downs soon.

Im debating whether its worth it right now to buy HEM or PT3 while playing these limits. Also feeling pretty dumb that I didnt make a rakeback account when I first started.

Oh yeah!

Im leaving for dealer school in Tunica around the first week of November. Ill be going to the Casino College of MS thats next to the Harrah's (i think). I dont really NEED the school seeing as Ive been dealing on and off for a local bar poker league for a few years now. It was actually decent money for a second job at night. Plus I got a ton of live practice in before I starting playing the live 1/2, 2/2 games out in ATL. I have a few friends that deal the WPT/WSOP tourney circuit right now and theyve been urging me to give the professional thing a try since Im still out of school (going on like 2 years now!!! ARGH!!!). I also happen to be an excellent dealer. Im just really hoping that this little certificate I get and the job placement programs they have will help me score a job fast. Im hoping to get a gig in vegas, san diego, or foxwoods after Im done with their program but that is sounding like a long shot. The guy who owns the place was telling me my best bet might be the tourney circuit but we'll see. Anyway, if any of you LPer's are in the Tunica area and want to grab some drinks and/or help me take down some rednecks on the felt feel free to give me a PM. Woteva...jakey's...yellow shirts, etc.

are rough....

I got told firmly to "fuck off" by a middle aged woman trying to barge past me.

I promtly told her to fuck off and she tried to get the guy next to me to start a fight with me, i told her to fuck off again and then security kinda popped their head over the fence as she tried to get me thrown out for standing in my place.

Then later (my gf was stood infront of me) another woman tries to barge through (we are like 2 deep from front fence) my GF kind gives a stiff shoulder and this woman gives her the mad stink eye, and like a baseball umpire i decide thats it for this bitch, grab her shoulder and yank her backwards.

Security guard taps me and tells me no, i say "wtf" and go about my business.

Honestly, ive been to so many metal gigs and shits never breakin down into verbal fights.

These women need a fuckin sweep kick.

The first womans drunk ass chode husband nearly got his ass kicked a bit later after they tried to barge through again, he got thrown out the 2nd time. Wish he was close enough so i coulda given him a swift jab to the face and called his woman a dried up old hag.

Awful people.

Apart from that gig was sweet.

Fergie is a babe

I've been watching this show Dollhouse nonstop today and finally decided to give it a rest and play some actual poker around 11pm or so. I need to clear this 4k FPP bonus and get closer to the 600k milestone so I decided to 24 table some nl100 6max. Haven't really played a long session at nl100 in awhile and basically was just playing nutso for awhile. I didn't look at my HEM till about 8k hands in to see how much I was down and I was stuck a lovely 13BI lol. So I decided to start trying and stop watching movies/talking on AIM and recovered in about 3k hands. Was a pretty overall boring session for me as I wasn't really trying to make money at first but just pass some time and get in some hands.



Graph for the session

for 2 hours nowim messing around trying to get either one of them to work. i read all the manuals i can find but my problem isnt answered anywhere. i also made a post in the pt3 forums but they couldnt help me. i use pokerstars and configured it properly, my hand history folder is full of .txt documents with my hands in them. pt3 and holdem manager recognize pokerstars and they also recognize all the .txt documents but they dont extract any hands. i tried automatic and manual hand extract but nothing works, i only get the message 85files found(the .txt documents), but 0 hands extracted. i reinstalled both of the programs twice but that didnt help. any ideas what im doing wrong?

had a pretty good session today. lots of player dependent reads. playing fewer tables and keeping an eyeout for the fish was pretty +ev. was able to make some light call downs, felt like i was play some pokah.

anyway just checkin some lines

hand1 + Show Spoiler +

standard fuuuuuuuuuu spot. i'm wondering if anyone ever talks themselves into a call here. it would be kinda sick if a retarded set played it this way with a cheap stab on river. about 3:1. that implies i only need to be good here 25% of the time righT?

hand 2 + Show Spoiler +

heh....i dunno why i didn't bet the turn...(i sorta remember thinking i didn't want to get check raised and blown off here)...but TT JJ would just check river right?

anyway pretty worthless blog post i guess so here are some boobies.

Ok so im 1/4 thru clearing my bonus and it just feels that this stuff is designed to tilt haha the best is when someone calls your bluff and the red timer ticks 3 times then shows your beat after you think youve won and fistpumped n shit.
Anyways the players here are horrid yet im still an idiot that sometimes donks around in HU plo out of my roll for sure.
Anyways just getting my thoughts out as its 2:20 am, got to be up at 8 for college and will probably go bed around 4-6 cos im a degen retard when it comes to sleep & college
ill post graphs n shit later mebbe
ps anyone know how to get ongame hands out of PT3 text hh to work on this site? wont work on hands ive tried :S
pz lp







EDIT
for those who do or dont give a sh*t, here is my graph
Notice how sh*t it is running on 20bi trying to move up and this happens lol http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/9d8c9.fun times.jpg

if anyone would be kind enough to sweat a sesh sometime id be greatful

I'm tired of turning fpps into cash and then losing on the bubble in the 3r after having a huge stack or whatever, sigh.

anyone want to stake my retarded ass? I'll post some graphs i could find from my old monthly result posts or alternatively you can look @ my ptr where i am a donk over an insignificant amount of hands on stars. Or you can look at my sharkscope where i raped sngs over a huge sample as my first real success in poker.

I dont really wanna play anything below nl25. I'll play mtts like from the $3-20 range or $12 180 mans or wtfever, i don't really care im just tired of making like 1 cent an hour and then losing my 100 cents after what seems like an equivalency of 100 hours of work.

ps - i don't care what you think fayth, or loco, ive beat every limit ive ever played, i don't feel like doing it again, i want to cheat a little, ok?

SO if someone wants to make some money on a risk or whatever, I'm not going to fuck you over, i'm not going to mislead you, i just want a jumpstart and i don't have any money that i can spare to deposit onto a poker site at this moment. I doubt anyone wants to stake me for nl50 or nl100 but that would be optimal, regardless, pm me if you're interested.

Maniac (yeah I mean him this time)

Fish (I was considering shove on the flop to look cool, his raise was SUPERSTRONG)
+ Show Spoiler +

All this and other stuff led to this.

(Retard I know)
+ Show Spoiler +

I almost cracked the Matrix as I now fully understand that variance is the one and only reason why anyone but the casinos/clients can make good money out of poker, but I still can't control my spewy heart.
I feel like I am on a great way to recovery though and one day I will not get tilted at all.



+ Show Spoiler +

Weak tight fish (On the turn I fold out pocket pairs that he would call flop with, he didn't fold so I am like cool c/f when he fires the super transparent blockbet I have seen him do with crap before :D)

It was most likely -ev play as I didn't have appropriately large sample to be able to put this villain away from the NL25 median of players with these stats, but w/e, I am not here to win money, I am here to learn.

And tamtadada....

GREAT SPOT TO COLD 4BET BLUFF AT NL25
First time at limit below NL50 I must say.
non-spewy tags, position, blockers, some postflop value - I got it all baby, I though it would be a sin not to 4bet.

raiser: 32/23/1 /80% fold to 3bet
3Bettor: 19/17/3/ 8% 3bet who was 3betting 'In the field' a decent amount.

last month was so fking good, down 3.5k this month, suxx...

had first winning session this month yesterday night on stars. won like 7BI at 50NL 6max

Gonna need to turn this around now again like last time i ran/played this bad

also thought alot about what loco wrote in Nights blog

I quote:

On October 11 2009 02:45 Loco wrote: you set yourself up for disappointments when you blog about your results daily. it's something i could personally never do because it would affect my judgement way too much. it's really easy to think you're crushing the game because you run good for a while and you make it public and you start believing in it, and when it doesn't go your way you have enforced the belief that you 'deserve to win' or something, just because you've been winning. it's the main reason people tilt i think. they don't understand that there are two sides to the coin and if you are running abnormally hot it's going to come crashing sooner or later and it shouldn't affect your game because you should know it's going to happen. i don't tilt at all when i don't blog about my results and i'm never disappointed in my performance because of this, whereas i was scared to lose coming up in the low/mid limits and blogging often, and every time i had big losing sessions my play/mood was tremendously affected. tldr; i found that playing to improve for myself and myself only, not making it too public how much money i was making was actually much better for my game and emotional stability.

really wise words imo.. that i will try to plant into my game/life.
So this might be one of the last resultsoriented blogposts of mine for a while. i need to stop being an attentionwhore about everything and just concentrate on my game.

and thats just not posting results and shit thinking im some kind of god when i run good, just my whole sight of poker as a game. dealing with beats and stuff. just not be so fucking shortterm effected all the time.

ty for reading all!

Well when it rains it pours xD

Have been getting rolled pretty hard at the tables, I have a very loose style of play so it happens but it'll still always hurt when you really tighten down for a bit to get back on your game and still get raped.

Oh well I'm sure I'll come back, just have to play through it, might play tourneys for a bit to mix it up.


Anyways, this weekend was fucking crazy, lullz gawd I love college. Beer pong + drunk girls = boobs + win. :') it's a beautiful sight to see to girls taking off their shirts and bras and then making out... (brb fap fap fap fap fap)

ok back, also a side note... It's fucking snowing in MN SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW wtf : I don't want snow for at least another month. :[ it's supposed to be like 40-50 for halloween so all the sluts can slut it up on campus and at parties.

Well I'm off to make some breakfast and then hitting the gym (gotta get my fatass in shape)

Anyways take care LP :D hopefully I'll upload a few pictures from the party.
