I've been sucked into the world of poker with iCCup being down and with a large amount of free time now that fall is coming through and my work is not as busy.

However, I refuse to just jump in. I am of the firm mindset that if I learn the theory behind a winning hand and the mentality with which I should approach the game, I will be far more successful.
So this is my starting point, and this blog will serve as my progress (and failure) journal as I delve into the realm of online poker.

Just a little update, still 4tabling nl25, I feel comfortable here for some strange reason even though I'm losing over 5k hands. Gonna keep grinding it over the next few days atleast, will update in a couple of days.

I'm a waste of oxygen, I fail at this game and I can't beat NL25 anymore.

So ill do what I can do best... play NL5 for the rest of my career LOL. I've probably become mentally retarded or something, certainly one of the worst players around here.

Btw I failed at O8PL too, busted my 50$ roll at FTP at the micros there trying to learn the game.

Well enough of the emo talk, here's my graphs from 2009!

NL5.

hey guys

after playing sc for 3 years and being a teamliquid member, where i read alot about poker, i finally wanted to try it out and deposited 20$ on pokerstars 2 weeks ago. im mainly writing this blog because i dunno where else to ask some newb questions.

i really enjoy reading all the hand evaluation threads here, and im impressed by the effort and detail lots of users put in their answers. the outthinking and putting the opponent on a hand part about poker is what i think id enjoy most, although im getting the impression that one shouldnt use that aspect of poker at all, until you reach a certain limit. since the strategy most used at 0.2/0.5, which im playing at right now, seems to be call with anything preflop, check until river, call any size of bet if you got a draw, then bet half your stack if you got something, theres not much outthinking or holecard guessing one could do. although i only played about 30k hands so i might have got the wrong impression.

so my question is at which limit does it start to be profitable to apply these concepts?

also in lots of hand evaluation threads, the OP often posts the vpip of the villain. where does one get that information?

i guess that was all, id appreciate any reply

What up all....
Long time reader.....Jon McGowan ( You might know him as JonnyCosmo) got me on to this site awhile ago, never had the time or wants to actually make a blog. Still dont know if I am doing it right.

I reached a milestone the other day. On Sharkscope, I am officially labeled as a SHARK! As funny as that seems, and Jon will say the same thing, I never thought I was good at poker. Just hit good hands at good times. I've been playing a lot of PLO HU SNGs, and lots of Satelite tourneys. When I win the satelites, I never can play in them though, as I travel from Sacramento to the Bay Area every weekend to see my gf, who is a school teacher down there. I got my own job, as I am in charge of $15 million sports complex, equipped with a field turf soccer field, 3 Field turf softball fields, a plaza style skate park, basketball gym, weightroom, racquetball courts, and cardio room. It is the premier sports complex of the Sacramento area. This leaves me little time to play poker, and unless I win big in some donkament, I will still work my job.

Anyways, gonna try and actually become a member of LP, and hopefully meet some of you in the near future. Only time I get to see Jon now is when he is home for thanksgiving and Xmas to play in my tournament that I host during those times. And to think, Jon used to be in our homegame, now he is playing big time.......


Mike

Can't be bothered to join but in this people list screen names they think might be superusers. I've beaten the crap out of at least on screen name mentioned on 10/20 so yea, people are stupid, don't understand variance and I'd be really surprised if there was superusers. Not saying that everyone there is a retard but who hasn't gotten owned by some random who ran hot from time to time? Damn, if it didn't happen enough to get people upset it'd be better proof of something shady.

Also, in this topic a couple of people mentions me as one of the best 2/4 regs. First of all I'm down 30bi on 2/4 over the summer, mostly due to 9-tabling like a retard playing loose as hell to get VIP-points for some race. The other thing I'm annoyed about is that half the people they mention me with are worthless, and to make matters worse the superbumhunter "Given" posts on the same page. He tilts me so hard, before him I wasn't even sure there existed people with his lack of self respect, ego and balls.

In other, happier news, I've started this month out only playing 5/10+ and 4tabling. Been doing decent and I feel that I can hold my own against most regs. Played this guy Kriga HU for a couple of 100 hands today and took him for like 1.5bi at 10/20 and even if it's no sample at all and I ran pretty hot it feels good coming out ahead of playing some guy who sits and seems to play almost anyone at 10/20 and 25/50. I think I've played decent overall, really good some of the time and "ok" most of the time. Only really played bad for a couple of 100 hands. Fucked up a bit vs some nits some of the time, but other then that I'm happy with it all.

Really happy with most stuff now. My little china girl will visit tomorrow (such a cliché), Saturday I'm going to my cousin's kid's birthday party which is nice since I haven't seen them in a while and then I've got a week of mostly poker before Pinball comes to visit before Unibet Open Prague, which will also be tons of fun. Probably getting a homegame going somewhere in there to with most of the Swedish LP-mid stakeers.

Tired of bouncing around at this stake not going anywhere. I'll just stick to 25nl and crush it and at least show a decent profit. Overrolled for 50nl but really not worth the headache.

trying to grind a free 20 bux they gave into something respectable to cash out

...hit the micro tables and find...average pot...0! tables full of tight shortstackers...what happened to the party poker of 2005 where average table vpip was 40!
