Sick sunday swingaments ....

Last 2 days i grinded pokerz like i never did before in my life.

moving out from my parents and getting my own room in another city really helps my pokerz

So... I'm not working on the road anymore. It's too hard on me mentally to have to be alone for 3 months at a time, never having anyone or anything... whatever, I have been home for a month or so, hoping to pick up where i left off being a microstakes balla (lol yeah right). I can't win at poker though, i had a 4k bankroll when i came home + money in the bank and i'm busto now. Granted that a lot of that was lost playing like $500 wcoop events and shit (I really blame wcoop for being busto) and once i got under 2k i just started gambling excessively playing games I couldn't afford to be in like nl100 hu and stuff trying to use variance as my double-edged sword and reclaim some sort of realistic bankroll for sustaining life. My bank account is dwindling to say the least and I have applied for all kinds of IT jobs but no one has contacted me at all.

I'm really started to get concerned with my well being, I don't know how long I can coast but I hope I can find some hole to give me some wiggle room and find the light at the end of the tunnel and direct myself towards it.

I'm going back to school in the winter as a more humble individual and I think i'm ok with being normal. I haven't really decided what I want to go for 100% yet but I think I either want to be a teacher or a network administrator or something.

Guess I'm gonna go play some aion... maybe try to turn some fpps into cash or something, prob taking a break from poker for a while strictly because of my financial status although poker is such an integral part of my daily habits I have no idea how the fuck I am going to be able to maintain myself without having my day mostly based on grinding.

1) Surrogates movie SUCKED.

It seemed short,the plot was lacking any depth and also I have seen Gamer two weeks ago so the concept of remote life was boring this time around.

2)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/userpoll/draw.php?poll_id=923
Poll: Do you think that using sunbeds is gay?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No


3) I shaved after 3 months, got a haircut and went for a sunbed. Not that I care how I look like but it brings a little bit of sun into this Scottish dump called Edinburgh -.-

If it wasn't for the suits I am wearing all the time, people might have actually mistaken me for a homeless person.

I also ordered creatine/protein powder and I really want to get back to weight lifting and exercise again. I actually gained about 17Kg in 3 years which is pretty horrendous.


4) Poker wise: I am still grinding NL10. I had two failed shots at NL25, both during the weekend. The fact that its weekend changes everything as you know, as the games are ridiculously soft.
But that also means that variance kicks in brutally(although in the long run my graphs would be hugely up-swinging in this environment), and I found out that when I go 40 times all in and am forced to ship any TP like 30 times per session, only to lose to them random 73o 2 pairs, I need more than 20 BI.



Even at NL10 which I beat at 6bb+ over 80k+ hands sample I experience 10 BI swings.

5)Doing some maintenance:
- I purged my database (My PC couldn't handle it and I had ridiculous loading times, there is no need to have a large database at micros anyway)
- After my pimp chair didn't arrive and my money was returned I ordered another one from a different supplier
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41jN0OdZmqL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
-I ordered a phone. I am actually getting one of them HTC smart phones with QWERTY keyboard, I really wonder what excel on a phone looks like :o

6) I want to remind you something that is very true :VARIANCE IS THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU CAN MAKE DECENT MONEY OUT OF POKER


7)) My plan for pokerz:
I will grind it up to 30BI for NL25 this time around, and then go to NL50 with 24BI 4 tabling where I never had any troubles as the variance is a lot lower than at NL10/25.

I will try to read 2 Pokerstrategy articles per week and watch 5dc vids


BR: 540 (from a low point of 320 lol)


HF Yo, thanks for reading

Started school again, so I dropped my electives (since they stress me out, too much work) and I'm concentrating on my core nursing courses. I have to complete 32 hours of clinical every 2 weeks and I'm placed at a surgery floor. So far my preceptor is really nice and learning a great deal from her. 12 hour night shifts (7pm-7am) kinda such but I'll get use to it in time... I hope. Also been trying to play 3-4k hands each day that I do play. I'm working about a little less, but still in the gym 2-3 days per week. The graph below is for 200nl for the past month or so (All thanks to Tom, he teaches me well).

Hey lp im trying to find a site full of hilarious comics (no its not cyanide and happiness)

Im pretty sure there was a thread about the comics on this site way back. I distictively remember one where this little stickman stands before a huge deamon like thing and the dialogue goes something like

-what are you doing here human?

- I got lost on my way to the kitchen

- You ended up in the 7th plane of torment on your way to the kitchen?

- I am not a clever man

Or something like that. I know the description sucks but hopefully someone can help me. Just spam sites for me plz

I drove 22 hours on Thursday, stopped at my friend's place in Little Rock, AR for Friday, and finished the last 14 hours of the drive today. So sick I didn't think it could be done in 2 session.. Back home now.

I hope things are well here for my family 'n friends but from the little bit I talked to my sister for when I got home it doesn't sound like things are that great $$-wise atm, but I guess I'll learn more tomorrow 'n monday when I see my pops.

Hoping to move up, keep learning, 'n make a bunch of money over the next couple months and ofc I will spam updates here as per usual ;D

Gogo 1/2 crushing this month???

ttyl

today was a good day, i lost about 300 playing 6 max like it was heads up...
took a break and just decided to play heads up (went up like 8 buy ins). i kinda want to remember today so here's a brief snapshot

i played a nit + Show Spoiler +

i don't really care wat anyone says about this hand, he 3 bet twice before and showed AQ and KK and folded way too much pf, i'm actually fairly confident i'm beat here on turn.

i also got to play my first real opponent hu. this is the first time i've ever experienced actual real game dynamic, upper level thinking, and even felt opponent changing gears. i never really put much stock into intangible concepts like these but today it was slamming me in the face. just a recap. most of these hands i've already forgotten the thought processes behind them :/ (it wasn't just hand analysis, it was previous hand history, transition to more aggressive pf action, etc)

there were so many epiphanies during this session, and i've rarely had more fun playing poker. i played 3 tables 6 max and played one table of hu. i think it's really fun. anyway just a recap of the session.

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +

as we approached 4 buy ins deep, my heart began racing, my body began trembling and my hand uncontrollable :/ i pretty much wussied out, and left the table.


anyway i've got some new focus, and i hope i dont lose my current passion and focus for the game. i just want to put massive volume in, get to 1/2 on 6 max. the path has never been so straight~!

Well after posting my last blog Ive been on a pretty nice heater... running really well
5 10 has been going much better as has 10 20...Its also really nice to be able to take shots at 10 20 and 25 50 knowing I can always drop down to 3 6 if need be and grind it out.

Ive decided that I am gonna start training muay thai starting tomorrow which Im pretty damn excited about should be lots of fun and a great workout

Ive also finally got back into playing hockey again after a year and half or so of not playing which is awesome... Sigh as I type this the Leafs are getting crushed by Ovechkin and company.

Anyways September:

4890 hands 5h 36 minutes 8-10 tabling 6max Nl50
3 minute toiltet brake after 3h.

Session overview

Session was starting pretty dissapointing.
-165$ after the first ~ 800hands

1)
couple KK vs AA pf and i also lost Flush to FH and got sucked out always vs 25bb shortstacks who call my QQ-KK pushes with Aj-A5 and ofc hit an A on turn or river ^^

2)
then i made back my way to breakeven till ~ hand 3000
pretty much grinding it up -> getting a sick beat -> grinding it back-> getting a cooler -> grind it back always around +1BI-1Bi

3)
last 1890 hands were pretty good and i ended the session + 236$
didnt get any suckouts and and did some nice valuetowning + some idiot bluffed his set into my flush pot bet on river for 250bb pot

overall session was around 4ptbb/100 which is decent results imo consindering first 1K hands were horrible bad luck

( aiming for 5ptbb longterm)


lol 4890hands concentrated poker in a single day

hurray ship it

How can it happen so consistently that I am able to beat a game 10 sessions in a row and then lose exactly everything I make within 15 minutes into the 11th session? This pattern has happened 4-5 times in a row now. I never knew run bad could be so methodical.

Some hands (all happening within 15 minutes)

+ Show Spoiler +

Last one isn't really run bad but of course I lose a flip for a 5 buyin pot during my doomswitch session

*surprise surprise* it seems I am better at cashgames then at tournaments!

Cashgame IQ: 133
Tournament IQ: 110

If you wanna do the test yourself its here: http://www.wsopacademy.com/pokertest/

The big disadvantage with the cashgame test imo is that its 10-handed and doesnt give any real hard decisions. It also feels like pokerstars software
But as a fun and small pointer at were you are in the game I think its good!

two big ps3 titles that i've been waiting for come out next week, which should i get first?

demon souls = action RPG where you can go into other peoples game and wreck shit up (or do co-op with them)
uncharted 2 = action adventure game that plays kind of like a cross between tomb raider and gears of war

Short Summary of September:

Not enough hours, not enough hands, being owned IRL overall. Played mainly 2-3 tables all month in order to really focus on my game.

NLHE (nl25-100)
~ +$500
~ 43 hours
~ 9k hands

PLO (10-25)
~ +$500
? hands
? hours

August was 45k hands, -$2800, 120 hours so I'll definitely take september, thanks.

incl rb and I'm probably +1200 for sept,,but w/e. Making progress is encouraging and exciting. Improving steadily, just need to somehow find the daily routine that allows me to play 1-2 hours of poker a day on weekdays and I'm good X_X

October I really want to stop being distracted by PLO and get back to playing 1 session every day for 1-2 hours really focused 4 tabling. No other goals other than playing consistently every day and working with my coach on a regular basis. I need to play more to get more hands on regs so that I can continue to play better based on opponent reads/stats.
