Swingy month, but ended well. Spewed a few BI vs river fish, but still managed to pay the rent
Cleared half of the $300 stars bonus as well, so no complaints
Thanks to all previous posters on the hands I put up, very helpful!
Chemistry time.
Peace LP~
I'm b/e ONLINE for the month right this second if you include rakeback. I've hardly played live since the first week of august where I busted all of my cash (almost.. expenses have been eating into the tiny remainder). God what a rough month this has been...
Hoping to post a good result next month at live & online. Hopefully playing well online too.. gonna need to get some sweats n stuff.
I accidentally registered for a HU sng deep no blind increase. The guy I played was 20+tabling these. The thing is, he only played AA. He literally folded everything else. Maybe he was playing KK, dunno. HH:

So this weekend me and a bunch of buddies went on a foat trip and had a ton of fun being retards got back at 9 last night and passed out til 9 this morning got up and went to church which was amazing. I know alot of you here despise the word church but honestly its nice to go at the end of the week and refresh. Anyways I've had a ton of sleep and got my grinder hat on so it's time for big scores and some run good.
good luck lp

Also my Favorite song atm....
Think this is my 2nd or 3rd biggest month ever. Was down for the month a week ago or something.
Other then that I'm off to dinner with a few old friends and then we've got tickets for Inglorious Bastards or however Tarantino wants it spelled. Also sat with 13k or something on a 10/20 table yesterday. Never had that much money on a table before, so that felt kinda cool. Getting a fairly good grasp of hold'em I feel, but still leaking a lot of money trying to play omaha. Guess I'll need to learn it sooner or later though.
Also, thanks to SugoGosu for recommending Street Dogs. Two Angry Kids and Kevin J. O'Toole are both really nice songs.
made hands, got paid, lost some REALLY absurd absurd hands to 90/40 types but not bad for 6 hours. won small amt at 2/4 again, something wrong with the universe??
Looks like money goal will be met and things will kick off in 2 days. I both can't wait and am dreading it.
So I came back, still tilted and not paying max attention really and playing 6 tables instead of 4, but cards started coming and I am completely unstuck for today!
Hint: There is one hand where I confused my holecards with other table, guess which one

The thing is, as I set myself a rule that I instantly withdraw to 20BI once I start multitabling and go under my stop loss in the process, I took my BR down to $1k, but overall for the day I am breakeven (now at $1270)
I can't move to NL100 properly only because of the multitabling and spew issues unresolved, so here is what I am going to do:
I will keep the cash I took out because of the anti-spew rule in my Bank account, and if I manage to get to $2.4k without multitabling turbo tilts during at least consecutive 10k hands, I will instantly ship the $1k back to my Pokerstars Account, having 34BI NL100 Roll and a 14BI Shot at the limit.
If I will keep breaking the rule, then tough luck - I will take a shot at 24 BI only for 4BI, as there is no point in playing NL100 if I can't keep playing without turbotilts.

Phil Galfond wrote down so many truths in here I had to post it. Most of them are old truths but they are none the less worth reading again.. Its also interesting to read how highstakes players think in certain areas..

It completely Screwed my graph since I started rebuilding at NL10.
I continue my never ending trend: Crush at 4 tables, get uber raped at 9+ (all three spikes down could be at about 60% would I stay at 4 tables)
I do that whenever I am extremely tired and my will is weak. I really need to improve my condition and find better balance in things.
I started reading Ace on the River from Barry G and this is exactly the thing that he describes as a distinction between winners and losers at the high stakes games he used to play seriously - he was winning only 50% of his sessions and 1/3 of the year was losing for him, but by always quitting under unfavourable conditions (he was tired/tables was -EV) he made it into a big winner as others always played even when not in top shape.
Love that book so far btw, let it be my inspiration, looking forward to chapter Poker and Family especially.
Now I hope I will pull myself together between the EPIC SATURDAY FREEROLS
