BTW for those who read this, i don't pretend to be some PLO master, i just decided to write my considerations about the game cause i needed to get my ideas straight.
Preflop ranges against your loose passive micro stakes PLO fish
VPIP 45+/PR:4, and their range is pretty much any pairs, any double suited cards, any 3 straight cards. They have such a wide range that any flop can give them a set, two pair... You don't know that much about their hand. The rare time they raise, is clearly aces, kings, or double suited high card wraps. The flop comes J43, he could easily have TT43 or something silly.
I found that against these guys who limps A LOT, your better out overlimping a large % of your range, because first they will never limp fold, and so your often pushing a small preflop equity. ie:
Villain1 has Ks7s2d4d 25.44%
Villain2 has Ac2s7h8h 33.59%
Hero has QdJcTh9d 40.97%
Something like that is really really close. Your better off waiting to the flop where you can crush him with real equity. That dosen't mean you should never raise, because QJT8 will sometimes completely crush lower wraps, but you should still be careful. With these people its simply ''which equity do i want to push the most, a 5% or a 15%.''
Again i want to make it clear that this is mainly against loose passive. Against a tag, you need to push any equity you can have, cause thats probably the only one you will have.
First of all, gratz of reaching ITM in the main event, too bad you didn't FT, but still nice score.
Now let me make it clear that I did not STEAL john's money from his wallet. I was informed like 3 days after that happened and I find it quite unfair and really uncool that you guys accused me of it. I am really really pissed off by this.
- i got about 4k from john online when i was in the philippines, paid for my own tickets, but i RETURNED it online like a week before when i decided not to play the M.E., it wont make any sense for me to steal 1500 there when i just couldve kept the 4k and just delete my msn and not bother buying fucking plane tickets. look ive known john for over 2 years now, and im pretty sure ive dealt with him enough for him to trust me with money. im just pissed some you guys suggested i stole from him, esp when im not around to explain or defend myself.
- i sold about 6kusd for his stars money when i got there to john, without any vig of any sort, i HAD money when i was staying at the house (about 10kusd cash), I even slept with my wallet in my pocket coz I didnt want to lose the 4k I had left since i was going to LA in a couple of days.
- i've already talked about going to LA if u remember, i dunno if john remembers it or not, but the only reason i stayed till the weekend was coz john told me to come to the lp party, and i wanted to go as well.
- I havent even seen your rooms or the 2nd floor for that matter, i stayed at the house coz i wanted to meet hang with john, so from staying at the new york new york for a week i stayed in the house's couch, which now i kinda regret after this accussation.
meeting you guys was kinda cool, but i just have to clear my name regarding this whole wallet theft thing, it's just not ok for me to be accused like this. well the thief is prob still there at the house so this is a headsup as well. i hope john just misplaced his money but whatever, I just hate being accused of this shit. i tried calling u up but u were prob playing the ME or something.
Spent the weekend with my lady cause I missed her like crazy and had to catch up on lost time. Had a lot of fun. Friday we went out to dinner with my dad and then partying in Boulder with a bunch of HS friends who were in town. Saturday we chilled during the day and then went to a home poker game with friends that we made while working on the Obama campaign. After the game we went out dancing. Then yesterday we tried to go on a hike but as we were driving towards the mountains we saw huge rainclouds coming in, so we ended up doing a picnic in the park by our house instead and then spent the afternoon lounging. I've had a shitload of fun since I got home =) It's nice to be back in CO!
I'm spending today catching up on a million errands that I have put off and also trying to get back into the online grind mode. Gonna start back into coaching on Wed, already have a session set up with my full time student. If you want coaching sometime this week send me a PM with the info from the bottom of this post. Obv if I've coached you before then just send me a PM with a time you'd like to do it.
My big goal right now is to find some live cash games to play in locally. Now that I've seen how ridiculously easy it is I wanna keep building up a live roll. If I can find a NL200 game live it will be so much easier to make decent money =)
mohegan sun in ct is strating their summer series starting on the 22 on july and just wondering if ne1 is gonna be out here for it...not big BI tounies xcept the ME 2100 i think. but their having 2 tournies with a 150k guarantee and the ME is 700k guarantee. If ne1 is gonna be here pm me. would be cool to finally meet some lpers
Sweet, so this will be my first blog and depressingly it won’t be about poker, but about a girl. Read further if you want to, whatever. So, I’m taking a microbiology lab course this summer. The first day of class, I was a little late and so I found the first table with an open seat. As I go to sit down, I kind of notice through the corner of my eye that the girl sitting next to me has been staring at me, although I’m not too sure so I look and our eyes lock for an awkwardly long time before we both smile. The girl is very cute and I’m thinking cool beans. As we begin our first lab, she introduces herself and tells me her name, Joanna. Since that first day, she has been extremely good to me. For example, everyone gets their own safety goggles, gown, etc for lab from the storage shelves, but she always gets my things for me. She gives me a ton of attention and is super, super nice and she’s giving a ton of vibes that she likes me, including waiting outside of class for me if she finishes her exam or quiz first, etc. We have great chemistry and are really hitting it off. She giggles and blushes like a little school girl at my lame jokes. I am like, 99.99% sure this girl is into me. Damn these manly, rugged, handsome good looks of mine always getting me in trouble.
So we had an exam this morning, she finished about 5 minutes before me and after I finish my exam, as usual she is waiting for me in the hallway like a dog waiting on its master. She drove today and kindly asked me if I wanted a ride. I snap say yes. So, we’ll in her ride and she starts talking about how her parents are going to Florida for the week and she’ll have the house to herself. I’m like, damn, this is like flopping the nuts! Full boat baby!! Ship that shit mothafker!! Eat my penis bitches!! And then she says that while she would of liked to have gone to Florida, she will instead go up north this Thursday. So okay, fine, I ask her what’s going on up north? She says that her boyfriend has a cottage up north and she’ll spend the weekend up there.
Wait, boyfriend? Come again? BOYFRIEND?!! WTF you cock tease! Gawd damn shorty, why you gotta be all nice and flirty to me and shit for the past 4 weeks and then telling me your parents are gone for the week making me think I’m gonna be riding that sweet young juicy rump of yours to kingdom come this weekend. Boyfriend WTF, boyfriend?!! R U SERIOUS? I feel like I misread the board, or my reads, or something. FML. Not sure what is going to happen from here on out, she is sending some weird mixed signals, maybe she just wants to be friends, or maybe is interested in a new BF, I dunno, I’m quite confused and I'm kinda in shock right now. I mean, I did not think she had a boyfriend the way she was treating me. I don’t think I’ll be flirting with her anymore. Yeah, I know, “there’s plenty of other fish in the sea” but I was really liking her. Plus, I was thinking that I was going to get some action this weekend, but now the only action I’ll be getting is from other micro donks like myself, super nits who always have the nuts, and Rosey Palm.
Anyways, poker wise, I’m still toiling in the micros while guys I started out with are in midstakes and higher like Exhilirate and Rockman. Another FML. Also, I just missed getting into grad school, FML again. Gonna go listen to some Interpol…..GL everyone.
Sup guys. Haven't been playing for a while now, and it feels good.
Also got a job now, so I will not have to cash out anything, and I can play without feeling pressured at all, which is very good.
Been playing a bit of NL25 today and yesterday, only 4 tabling now and really concentrating a lot, will continue doing this. I'm also implementing a stop loss, which is vital to protect myself from my tilt monkeyness.
I have been thinking about my game a lot in the past few days, and I think I do have some big leaks, and instead of dispelling this further I'd rather like to fix them. My redline has never been great,sometimes it has been slightly positive but lately it is just slowly going down and down, I think this is the result of bad play in the blinds.
I'll post my positional stats and I'd be very happy if someone of you could give any input on what you think about them. These stats are from NL25 and mostly while 12+ tabling the last months.
As you see, my blinds are really AWFUL. If I were to fold ANY hand in the BB/SB, I should have done better than I did, is that correct? Because assuming 6max tables, I am in the BB 16.67 times out of 100 hands, this means I would lose 16.7BB/100 which is HALF of what I'm losing now. Same about the SB, assuming I fold every hand there I'd lose 8.3 BB/100, still better than what I did. Or do I have any flaws in my thinking there?
Since starting to play limit about a month ago it has been amazing. So much fun and it brings so much life to poker to learn a new game. The beginning of the graph is me learning limit on .50/1.00 and 1/2. Little bit of a struggle here and there but the players are so bad that its hard to stay stuck. It didn't take long (of course 8 hours a day are spent either playing or being sweated by my coach or discussing dynamics and lines of the game) before I was comfortable playing 2/4. Of course my bankroll isn't large enough at all to play as high as I am but I feel very confident in my game as of now. The latter part of the graph is 2/4 with some dabbling in 3/6.
Also I hit platinum for the fist time this month and found out that after taking 5 months off from poker this year I can still hit SuperNova. Ship the bonuses.

There are more I'm too tired to find them. So flustered atm, poker is being such a faggot.
Speaking of that, I watched Bruno in theaters tonight. Pretty good, but the crowd I was with seemed deeply disturbed by some of the stuff in it. I thought it was pretty standard (very rofl of course). Less meatspin would've been nice.
My gf is entering a makeup contest and the theme is looking like your favourite purse(dont flame me, i'm just the messenger). Anyways, if you could watch the vid and give her 5 stars that would be awesome, so she has a better chance of winning Thanks. Plus I think she did a good job.
been seeing alot of shortstackers at night. kinda gay. i'm just gonna write about my experiences with them so far, any tips/advice is always welcome.

Shortstackers: A summary
There exists 2 types: fish and shark. Fish tend to limp/call at will so always bet for value against them. They shove sometimes with no reasoning, and will lead for a retarded amount. I've had good success just raising their raise and they seem to fold fine. The shark type usually conceals himself with a shortstack. And people usually will stack off with them light. Unfortunately they tend to stack off with JJ + and AK exclusively. I think people in general like to stack off way to light with these players, mainly because it's kinda fun to stack off for 5 bucks.
Due to short stack, there are few decisions for them to make. You are essentially always risking their shortstack with a cbet. There is no way to outplay them. There is really no room for higher thinking. I like to narrow my range, and bet a little extra with good hands and force my good cards to balance his gay short stack play.

Also, something i've been doing is more or less immediately getting up if a gold/platinum star sits next to me. I feel like in nl25 there isn't much poker to be played, except properly value betting, and properly concealing the strength of your hand is all you have to do. I don't even bluff much at this level either. I figure the gold stars + will rarely spew, and there really isn't a point in playing them. However is there anything to be learned by sitting with them?
Anyway, just wanted to say I'm selling percentages off of myself in Unibet Open London (http://www.unibetopen.com/tournament-info/), which is a £2750 ($4430) donkament starting this Thursday. It has a really good structure imo and there should be 250-300 players.
I'm primarily a cash game player (I play 2/4 eur atm), but this year I started playing $400-$1000 live tournies in Czech Republic and to a lesser extent abroad. It's a really small sample, but I have about 140% ROI in them so far. I also took down the Supernova Freeroll for about $7.5k last year. I definitely have a good idea about tournament theory and believe I should have a significant edge over the field.
There's no premium, so I'm pretty sure it's +EV to buy some.
If you want to buy or have questions, you can post here, PM me, MSN me or whatever. I accept PS$.
Tom and I were planning on making some low limit videos 5nl-50nl 4 tabling at http://www.pokermuscle.com, so new players learn how to play. They will all be free to members. What stakes should we do?
