This is a first post, so it needs to be a bit introductory.
I've started to play last year. It didn't take long until I realized that I like tourneys, and since then I am trying to improve, but apparently it doesn't go well...
So after the last PT3 update I started to play around with it a bit. Here what I came along:
Who wants to play sc with me? $5/$10 per game ch: LP Bet
On another note, my NL25 shot didn't go so well, lost 6 BI so I went back to NL10 :[ I'll take another shot next month I guess when I grind my way back up. Best of luck all!
+91BI NL100... Almost to Goalby Joeingram1, July 17
Almost have achieved my goal of 10K at NL100 this month. Last few days have just been taking it pretty easy and working on my tan. Still have not had a losing session since my big 53 BI downswing a few weeks ago. Have been switching back to 6max and full ring with most of my play being at 6max lately. I have also started playing some more HU play and doing pretty well. I started a session today and found myself 2 tabling 2 people and playing a few other random fish. Felt I did pretty well and was immidieatly down about 3 BI losing flips and came back to end about +2 BI so I was happy with that. Feel like my heads up game is improving alot, my results for just HU play at all tables is really good and I should probably try to play more in the future. I really wish I didn't have that big ass downswing, my 4.5ptbb/100 winrate would be like 6 or 7 which would be sick awesome but meh, can't change it now, just have to avoid having another one.
Last 40 BI I have just been crushinggggggggg hard, 10k hands +40BI
I am almost out of the negative on table ratings also finally, now I just need to not lose 10k+ at higher stakes and keep it positive when i get there!! I really wish they had all my nl100 hands I have played since september but o well, people can assume I am still down monies.
What is the best way to prepare yourself for a night of sex? I am going to hang out with this girl on sunday night and it is basically agreed upon that we are gonna do it all night. Last time she wanted 3 rounds and I couldn't deliver round 3, just didnt want it bad enough.
So I was thinking like wank it maybe 2 times on friday, take saturday off, and be ready for it on sunday. I also have some crazy pills called stamina-rx that u can even buy in 7-11 stores and they make u hard as a rock even as good as viagra. I figure I will save those for round 3 if i don't have the energy haha.
Any of you guys have any special preparation methods to make sure u have stamina?
Had a really crappy table for the big part of the day with a bigstacked Mike Macdonald (timex) to my left, some 5/10 reg I know a bit to the left of him and then some 50/100 player from bossmedia or whatever in the next seat. Got my fair share of cards during the earlier levels and despite some suboptimal play due to random factors including my lack of live experience I played fairly tight and ran good enough. I think the day started with like 113 players or something and it's 27 left now. I'm in place like 13 or something with a little less then average. Have 37k going into day 2 with blinds of 500/1k and a 100 or 200 ante. Not quite sure. 150? Whatever. I guess I can steal a bit to begin with and then just tighten up and reshove on people. I guess like 60-70 people will make it to day 2, and maybe top 25-30ish will get ITM so when I'm rested again I think I'll bring the out the big guns and see if I can make a run for it or at least go out in a blaze of glory.
Also played the sexiest hand of my life.Miss Belgium minraised UTG, I flatcalled AcTx on the button, blinds folded. Flop comes KcQcXc, UTG checks, I stare at her, ehh, eyes for like 30 seconds and then I bet like 2/3rds pot. She folds pretty quickly
I'm python817 just made a new lp account was so close to getting even today but obv it didn't happen and am now down for the month thanks to today and the -5.4k day 2 days ago

someone commented on the 32s hand being bad. i almost always flat there but with the dynmaic of what had happened in the last like 30 hands and how bad he was i think its fine. he gets it in with an 8 100% of the time there and sometimes a 3 or 5( yes hes that bad) and its really hard for him to have me beat. only hand really is a runner runner higher flush. any set/2pair raises gets it in 100% on the flop.
Now that all the WSOP shananigans are through...by GWi, July 16
Wife is better so we're going to Vegas for a few months. Staying mainly at the Orleans, because we did well there back on our honeymoon. Even though I'm 24 I'm totally gonna take a Clark Griswold approach wardrobe wise (fanny pack, mint green shorts that reach about 4 inches above my knees, and some r-tard shirt) for like the first week @ the 1/2 tables... I should probably get one of those green see-through visors. I probably won't be doing that at the orleans so much as the strip casinos during pre-afternoon/immediate post-afternoon hours. Later bitchez.
Last night and the following morning....by Cooper83, July 16
My best friend came to town and we went out last night. Did the whole bar hopping thing got way to drunk etc. Naturally he thought it was a good idea to drive and I was to drunk to think it was a bad idea. On the way to a bar in the busy area known as the square where there's always a ton of cops I decide I need to puke and force him to pull over into a parking lot. Were parked(very poorly) and I'm puking by the bumper when the cop pulls up and asks me how it's going. I say fine, just not feeling so well. They ask if I'm driving I say no, at this point my friend decides moving his car anywhere would be a bad idea as they would be watching us. I agree so we walk to a bar and grab a drink no big deal I've left my car parked there before when I was to drunk to drive. After the drink at the bar we call it a night and walk the 4 miles home staggering drunk. On the way we naturally walk through the Taco Bell drive through for food where we order 20 tacos for the two of us. We finally get back and we grab a couple beers and just relax. Eventually we passed out, pretty normal night out when we get together. We woke up this morning around 11am and I take him to go get his car only to find out that there is some festival going on downtown so his car got towed. At this point the rage starts to set in, he has quite a temper which was honestly hard to keep a straight face. You have to realize things like this just happen to him, he is literally a shit magnet, bad things that rarely happen to any normal person always happen to him. So we go to get his car and he finds out it's gonna cost $170 to get it out. I'm splitting it with him, but yeah outside of the money it's fricken hilarious cause it's him.
Another example of the random bad things that happen to him, were at a nice restaurant where he knows one of the waitresses. We finish eating and he has to drop a deuce and because he's dating the waitress he doesn't want to at the nice restaurant(he's an idiot). So we leave the restaurant and go across the street to McDonalds where he proceeds to relieve himself. He was in such a hurry to get into the stall he didn't really investigate much which was mistake number 2. So he comes back out to the car and I smell something awful, we start investigating to find out the source only to realize that his pants are covered in someone elses shit from the bathroom floor and it's all over him. Needless to say it was insanely hilarious but another one of those only him moments which bring such joy to everyone else.
just came back from work and was highly motivated to play some and make some money.
then all of a sudden RAGE tilt kicks in for no appearent reason. maybe because i couldnt win a fucking hand to start with. then it goes on me cursing at every player, not thinking about the game at all, mindless calls and tilt bluffs that even increase my rage more.. i just realized it and was like wtf am i DOING here lol.
and suddenly im calm again but i'll stop playing when i lose 1 more BI. New inforced rules yo. God what I would sacrifice for being tilt-prone. It would save my life.
Hello. I play poker from november 2008. Through that months i try to beat micro nl 6max holdem. Today i play nl50 with really low winrate or maybe even i have negative winrate. I watch a lot of dc videos and I figure out that couching is ev+. But my english skill is barrier for me. So i can't do that. I have idea that this blog and writing on lq.net could help me.
During last two days i lost something like 600$ playing on 6 tables. That isn't downswing or something. I'm pretty sure I lost that money because i play like spazy donk. I have huge bankroll but i get that money especially from bonus rakeback etc. I have 11bb/100 winrate on nl20-nl25 but nl50 is different story. I have many problems with 3bet pot especially OOP. I looking for some other players for talking about hands and other stuff. If i find someone i can improve my english and my poker skill so if somebody want to do that pm me.
I think i need go down to nl20 one more time. I think i can post once a week couple of hands and hem graph. After that i try to beat nl50 one more time. But if I couldn't do that. I need to finish my journey with poker.
ps: I know that i have many mistakes in that post so if you can indicate me that i will be very happy
I can see from this stats i'm more agressive on nl20 because i can outplay villains but when i play nl50 i turning into weak tight shity player. I espiecally worry about w$wsf on nl50.
I was under the impression that with the rakeback it made more sense to start grinding on FTP now that they had .01/.02 tables instead of stars, but that once you got up to NL100 where supernova was achievable Stars evened out the rakeback battle thanks to the concierge option. I wanna know cause as you can see in my blog post below, I'm starting my GF out on poker and I was planning to have her start on FTP as they've fixed their software up a lot so that it's close to being as good as stars and they have rakeback. Now I wonder if I'm making the wrong choice because of this PM I got from Edzwoo:
Just a quick heads up, even after a standard 27% rakeback deal is setup on FTP, the rake is actually still worse on FTP + rakeback than on Stars.
Basically the rake rates are as followed for NL2-NL10
Stars rakes you at 4.92ptbb/100
FTP no rakeback rakes you at 7.89ptbb/100
FTP + rakeback rakes you at 5.76ptbb/100
FTP recently changed their rake numbers, but it's misleading because they rake a smaller % but more often, so it really didn't change at all. I have friends that play NL2, and those numbers are from 50k hand samples of each, so they should be accurate.
Also not including that bronze star on PS is worth like 10% rakeback in it of itself.
regs played back lots of more on 50nl then 25nl actually, i remembered 50nl on ipoker to be much softer than this when i played on ipoker..
FUCK YOU BOSSMEDIA
anways lots of fishes though so think its gonna be fine with time.. so regrind and go for another shot
with my sick 45% rakeback it didnt hurt my BR that much with the shot since ill get back much of it..
