| | september plans by KeanuReaver, August 17
So August hasn't gone quite as well as I'd hoped so far, but still not too bad. 55k hands in and +1,900 in cash games (running about 2k below expectation) with another +1k+ in rakeback and the reload bonus. I'm really determined to make my 150k hand goal so much so that I've promised myself and my gf I'm not going to be going out at all for the rest of the month so if I can hit a decent patch of rungood my 10k month is still well within my grasp.
It's really important that this month ends up being very good as well, mine and my gf's birthday is Sept 9th and since it's her 21st we're going to spend it in Vegas...I'm wanting to get one of the better suites in the Bellagio to spend the weekend so I'm planning on spending a pretty huge amount of cash. It should be tons of fun though, most of our friends from down here and going to come too and we'll be partying it up so I'm really looking forward to it...if you're in vegas the weekend of the 11th send me a pm, wouldn't mind hanging out with some fellow lpers.
after that, I'm finally going to cash in my APPT credit and head to seoul for the APPT event held there late September. This vacation will probably be a lot more laid back than the one in Vegas, I really wouldn't mind just laying around all day on the beach after the tournament. If any baller lp members are going to be playing in this tourney hit me up.
In any case, my gf is still trying to do well in poker. I've been watching her play and she makes a lot of typical rookie mistakes (bad bet-sizing, too much fit-or-fold flop play) but otherwise she does pretty well. She's been basically breakeven since starting (probably around 30k hands, although I could be way off) which isn't bad considering she's a beginner and considering I haven't set up holdem manager for her yet. Her ability to grind still amazes me, yesterday I put in about 7k hands and was reasonably proud of myself, when I tell her she says nonchalantly "oh I got you beat, I'm at about 8.5k", pretty sick. She wants to go for supernova next year but if I can get her playing reasonably well and her bankroll higher she could easily make SNE.

| | Neilly is my HERO!!! by Gsr_01_integ, August 17
Shout out to Neilly and everything he has been showing me over the last couple of days as far as MTT's goes. After just a couple Teamviewer sessions and some long talks on Skype i really adj most of my game to include what Neilly showed me.
As far as the new goals ive been pondering on what to play and what i think is best not really sure what i want to do. Taking a couple days off to enjoy the nice score of the $109 turbo 20k gar score from last night.
I have plans to go to pitts tomorrow and go to kennywood for the first time with my new girl. We are going there with a group of friends and then since she seemed to enjoy the crappy baseball team we have here where i live i figured i would take her to see a MLB game even though the pirates suck balls every year the stadium is nice ranked for a #1 tie. We have center field seats in the front row and the VIP passes to watch them practice and meet them i think (this is not open to the public)
Well im going to enjoy my next couple of days GL to all LP

| | A good day! by longple, August 17
ive waited for this!
first decent winning days in months
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/c805b.1234555.jpg
(25NL €)
some sick 300bb deep pot around the 150hand mark vs huge fish.
+ Show Spoiler +
to laazy to edit the HH, (but i had JJ)
he was this superpassive fish that never woulda bluffed a missed draw / even bet trips by himself im almost convinced, he was just sick passive..
cut down tables to only 3 tables today. obv it went well, and felt well too
Played pretty loose this far aswell, around 26/21 with 3bet of 9%
alot more laggy than i use to play. 2-3 tables might be a great adjustment for me atm to make since ive lowered my goals on how much $$$ i make and more of how i play
yay me!

| | School and Poker by StArCuE, August 17
Man ooo man. School starts today and I have 3 classes from 4 to 8. I'm always excited about school until the day it starts and today it starts. MY first class is English then intro to Chicano studies then Math I think.
I've been playing alot of 50nl and 100nl recently and I've come to the conclusion that 100nl is so so much easier to make money. Probably b/c the games are so much aggresive compared to the 50nl games.
In other news I got this sick Astro A40 Headset. It's sick as fuck. http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/51/CTS-Headset/
Anyways I know some of u nerds play halo or cod so drop your ID here and lets play. Pce Chris.

| | I hate omaha by DustySwedeDude, August 17
So like, I was up like 35k € or so after 3-4 days this month. Right now I'm stuck 200€. I'm feeling fairly well. Anyhow... Not really in the mood to have a losing month so I've decided to take the easy way out and just 4-table for a while. Thinking of making like 10bi on 2/4, then 10 on 3/6 before moving up. Probably learning more about the game that way too.
In other life news I'm back in Uppsala. Been working out with my roommate a times and we'll get onto some kind of "every 2nd day"-schedule. Aiming to be able to bench 100kg before Christmas (which should be easy enough). Also trying to eat really healthy and keep away from fast food and such. It's not all good though, my room smelled really heavily of tuna yesterday.

| | Today, emo, 5nl by fenner, August 17
This is todays graph, I masstabled nl5 for a bankroll boost, unfortunately it didn't boost my bankroll at all. Tomorrow I will do this again and the day after and the day after that. My official date for quitting poker is the end of October, if I'm not a solid 50nl winner by then i will quit, although I have no idea what I will do with my life. I'm nearly 20 years old and have no skills at all, no way of earning money and have no real life friends, most of the time I just ignore it but sometimes it depresses me.
The only skill I have is photography, which is a joke skill as its really easy. Making money from photography, as far as i know is really hard and would need a big investment beforehand - of which I do not have. Why am I telling LP this? I have no fucking idea. Anyway there should be more blog updates coming from me lately as I will be grinding much harder than the past, hopefully atleast 8 hours a day untill the end of October.

| | Rakeback pro'ing by Night2o1, August 17
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/1c54d.breakevenlollllll.jpg
The downwards part is nl50 hu, the upwards part is nl100 hu. Children, let this be a lesson in moving up to chase your losses.
Anyway I'm still down a fuckton this month @ live (I try not to let it haunt me.. but I had the sickest fish of life during all of my sessions and got owned by the deck<3 though there is one hand that I could of made a super sick hero call for.. would of changed everything ><), had a bunch of stuff I had to pay, and had $400 stolen from me on Friday (this MAY get refunded but we'll see). So my roll is really, really raped.. but I can recover.
Only problem is that I need to win quite a bit in the next 4 weeks between online & live, and I have no live cash and I'm only playing nl100 online lol. SOOoooo we'll see about all that. I might be looking for sum steakz if things aren't looking like I'll be at an acceptable level in 2-3 weeks.
Really just trying to get my grinder spirit back after getting crushed at the start of the month and return myself to glooooory! I've played 7800 hands in online HU during the past 4 days which is OK and I can hopefully maintain that, with a little live sprinkled inbetween if I get my hands on some cash.
I also *REALLY REALLY* need a place to stay in Vegas from like the 25th or so - mid/late sept. I'll pay by the week, and need highspeed internets.
I really want to give thewh00sel a shout for being very cool, even though we haven't even properly met, and to corwin for being corwin-y.

| | Mid August review by WilsWils, August 17
Coaching finished and i'm alot more confident in my play now...putting in alot more hands this month compared to the shitfest that was july.
coach helped point out some HUUUUGE leaks that i didnt know were apparent, and now its just a matter of applying them and putting in the hands to crush the stake.
As a whole, i'm comfortably beating nl100, but am not crushing it, so i wont be moving up until im beating it for at least 4-5ptbb.
(just need to hold in 400bb pots vs whales and my graph would be alot sexier looking)
anyway heres the mid month graph. all those big dips are from losing huge pots when playing on the deep tables vs humoungos spewtard whales but im still up soo.. (oh, took a small shot at nl200 too that made a little bit less than a bi)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/0444f.aug.jpg
made about 490~ or so in RB so far.
still gunning for a big month.
HOLDDDDDDDD ONE TIME

| | Slacking already by effen, August 17
Had a weird day today, started off with a session and played the $27 wcoop sat to a $215 event, the 500 fpp sat to whatever, and a $23 HUSNG. Broke mostly even, eventually shut off the tables as I sort of got near the bubble of the $27 sat, and busted that. Shortly after busted the 500 fpp, and actually kinda said fuck it and played the HUSNG weird and kinda poorly. I started to fire up another set of 20 tables and I caught myself, I was in a mood. A mood where I didn't care, a fuck it kind of mood, and that's not conducive to winning poker. Caught myself and stopped, cleaned out the car, took care of some finance stuff, played with the dog. I probably avoided a losing session.
Anyway, all told only got in 6k hands today, made $500. Ran not good, nobody folded ever, but this time I practiced a lot of avoidance and ate my liver a lot. Just gameflow stuff but this was probably better than trying to play normally given my lack of hitting hands and it being Sunday. Ran below EV again, every move I made failed so I adjusted to it and stopped making moves, lol. If I can not say "fuck this", I'm going to be a lot better off I think.
Tomorrow I'm going to be busy till like 6 in the PM but I'll try to get a morning session in. Right now it's all about making $ and less about hands/VPPs. I've gotta have that 20k by September. And I will. I hope.
BR: $16,343
VPPs: 303,404
