My grinding days are officially over-there is nothing to grind for until January 2010, and my full time job starts in 1 month.


Poker will all about fun and improvement, without the immediate pressure on results or hourly rate. Sweet.

Played some cash games today and on the wrong side of variance. So, this made me quite happy. Its not much, but it is one hella cheap way into the tourney and for a guy like me with $1400 bankroll, I am quite excited

I made 2 FT's today, one for a 90 player $26 sit n go and one in the 21k KO tourny. I won the sit n go and I was 8/9 going into the FT with about 16BB and a few hand in i picked up AJs in mid position. I went all in and was called by some guy who had half the chips in play with AK. Wish I coulda doubled up and made something happen. Yesterday went pretty well, two winning days in a row which is pretty tough for tourny players.

When I started playing 8 months ago my goal was to make 10K by the end of the year. I have already passed that mark, although I have dropped down a bit since my peak. I have decided that if I can make 100K by the time I graduate college, which is about 2 1/2 years away, I will take a shot at being a professional poker player. This would mean taking a year off after college and playing poker full time. I know it will be tough to achieve but I think it is very possible.

Yesterday Recap:

21K GTD KO ---------- 9/1313 ---------- +$396
50K GTD ---------- 274/376 ---------- (-$163)
20K GTD ---------- 283/511 ---------- (-$55)
$24 KO SNG ---------- 1/90 ---------- +$590
22.5K GTD ---------- 125/371 ---------- (-$75)
12.5K GTD KO ---------- 121/865 ---------- (-$26)
30K GTD ---------- 45/374 ---------- (-$109)

Total: +$558

Starting BR: $7199
Finishing BR: $7757

Well it looks like I'm going to have to try to supersatellite into the ME today and tomorrow

gotta miss frinkx's party, oh well T_T

I refunded everyones money, after doing like 20 transfers its giving me some error and wont let me transfer the last funds to f4zi, i'll have that sent to u tonight or tomorrow

I'm going to go play a $550 satellite

Jlost me and Reid are going splitville on the satellites and im gonna try to get in and go 33% on the ME through one, if i dont win a seat who cares, gives me something to do with some seriously good roi if i win a seat

Just chillin, wonderin if i should play in the 10AM or the 4PM, any input would be greatly appreciated

"roughly 300 ppl in each tourney, $500 tourney so top 5/100 get a seat so 15 seats most likely"

should I go in the morning and play the older players or afternoon and play vs the internet players

GL LP,
Ryan

My first blog post....
been a lurker here for a few months. Just to give a little intro of my play: I play $5-$10 sit-n-gos at FullTilt for profit, cash in about 25% of my games. Started playing cash games but thats been a fail.
Anyways I decided to start a blog cause I won first big cash last night. I've been going to a poker room in Rockingham, New Hampshire every other weekend for the last couple months. Bout a month ago I played in my first local live tournament: $40 2 rebuys. Lost soon after my table broke up a couple hours in. After night I realized I had played foolish, folding hands I should have shoved and bluffing in spots I could have easily stealed.
So last night me and my buddies decided to head out again. We all signed up for the $40 rebuy again. There was a big turnout... about 50 players and 50ish rebuys. The poker room took 20% of the prize money... about $1000 is that common in poker rooms? I felt like they were robbing us.
Anyways after a good start I lost half my stack KK vs A-8 offsuit preflop and then bled chips for awhile til button put me all in with ace-rag and I doubled up with AQ. After that I played the best poker I've ever played. Stole lots of pots, made good folds, and got good value on my monsters. Entered final table 4th in chips. Won my first race of the night and stole lots of blinds at the bubble (6 got payed). When it came heads up I was down 4:1 but got lucky on a all-in and played great after that. Winning hand was Ac10s for a club flush. 2nd place was steamed cause he shoved all in with QJo and I called with A10. Felt really good when I realized I won 1st for $1000. Treated my buddies to dinner afterwards. Was a great memorable night.

So this is my 1st blog I m gonna keep it short.
I have a bankroll of $18.70 on Stars and, I made this blog to add for discipline and motivation to achive my goals, which are:

"Move to NL5 with $100 bankroll"

I m gonna star at NL2 with 6max and playing only 4 tables at once.

Also have other goals that i wanna achive on a weekly basis or daily basis.

1. Update the blog after each Poker session.
2. Read at least 3 poker articles a week.
3. Post at least 20 hands a week for analysis
4. Make at least 10 deep analysis on micro stakes hands in the forums.


Progress : 18.70%

so after playing a bit drunk, and playing like a real lag fag, it was crazy how much i learned from the experience as a whole. my 3 betting everything was such a dumb idea, and i'm so happy and glad that i've finally moved from it. i've been playing plenty of hands to showdown, making plenty of decisions post flop. another thing i've done is really try and keep an eye out for what my perceived table image is.

anyway up 4 buy ins today. maybe 5 more buy ins and i'll take a shot at .25/.5
i imagine it's about the same but ppl probably want to 3 bet a bit more lightly.

also learning all this cash has def changed my winning sng strategy into a losing one. i feel like austin powers and i just can't recover my mojo!

heather graham, elizabeth hurley, please save me~

Played 2 decent sessions today and I had two hands that were somewhat interesting....

This is the lesser cool one but not bad because at least I win. I had no read on the guy but I really never thought that long about laying down my TPTK.
http://i40.tinypic.com/zjw904.jpg

Now this hand is weird. I'd only been at the table for one orbit and it was clear this guy was nuts. I had KhQc by the way and I was pretty stunned by his holdings.
http://i40.tinypic.com/195gzn.jpg


-This is a totally separate thing but I had pocket 7's this hand and 3 people call. Should I always just c/f on a scary board like this since it's very possible someone has a Q?

Hey, I've been around LP for awhile just reading post and looking at other peoples blogs... figured it was time to make my own. Been a very marginal winner at cash games and had a few big cashes in MTTs. Mainly play SnGs (DoNs), but I love the community here. After working a whole lot with SnG wizard over the past couple days I reset my graph Thursday and this is what it looks like...

Does anyone think that this is sustainable? I mean I feel like my play is almost perfect now.

$10/million Pokerstars play money. i'll take roughly 3 mill. maybe more. depends on how sexy you are.

sup motherfuckers. this is he, the most badass racist dragon you've ever met.

pokers going good. my goals toward making enough money to get a dick enhancement are rolling along at an alarming rate. much to the chagrin of my other dragon friends

moving to the city soon, to a sweet new pad - gotta completely furnish the bitch, but that's ok. i'm not racist towards furniture. only minorities and majorities.

anyways. i want to buy some play money chips. why? because i'm a fucking poker champ. and i like to show how large my dick is by shoving chips harder into the middle of the pot than a thai hooker working the corner. and i just can't do that with my normal stakes whilst drunk. sad panda stare. and as genjix says, it's actually better to prepare for playing higher stakes by playing lower ones - people are more stupid, more silly, and all around more unpredictable. so basically, i'm preparing for nl400 by playing play money. it was either this, or prepare for nl200 by playing nl10, but i decided to play it safe.

i'll pay 10$/m, and of course you're sending it first. because i'm racist, so shut your dick hole already.

oh ya. my laptop is a cuntlicker, and HEM HUD keeps fucking up, so i've got into the habit of setting it to factory settings and downloading like ~65 updates, then installing everything and finetuning my firewall and shit.

i'm like a fucking pro. fuck dell, call the racist dragon

i'd post a graph. but i've got into the perpetual habit of only havin like 20k hands then having to wipe my laptop. so fuck graphs.

later home slices

So now that I've been finished with classes for the summer since friday, I thought that I'd start grinding cash again the days I don't have work. I started at NL25 on stars because I've only left about $750 for myself online, but this week has ust been a fucking disaster. I haven't been playing anything near my A game and I know it, and it is really pissing me off and making me play worse. Add that on top of the fact that I am running insanely fucking bad as well. Bad play + bad luck = bankroll death, and although I'm no where near busto I'm down about $315, which is about $360 below expectation. FUN FUN FUN! Here's what my HEM looks like since June 28th (I've had to move down to NL10 since then):

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/58cb6a57a165c587b8467ef547b9d8ec.jpg

NOTE: The NL50 hands were just from some 1-tabling HU a few days while I was bored or something during the last week of class iirc, before I took $1k offline because I needed cash. So I guess I'm running a little better than I thought but it still sucks. The NL2 hands were from my session testing TableNinja.

Today was the worst single session I've had in a looooong time. I ended up down like 6.5BI in about 3500 hands and was 7BI -EV. WEEEEEEEE!!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/6579f5d81fb104ddf95d1f4a0602db11.jpg

So I'm playing like shit and running like shit too, so life really sucks right now. Hopefully this weekend is awesome, though. I have a lot of plans with my friends and lady friend so it should be a good time to just take a break for a few days and get a little fucked up. woot!

GL all,
-Joe

I remember reading here that someone here kept bugging support until they let him open a new account for rakeback? Is this true?

Anyways I e-mailed support asking what options I had. I made it clear I already had an account with no rakeback. The person told me they gave my information to rakebackpros.com and they will be in further contact with me. Is this BS or what? Or can they actually add rakeback to my pre-existing account?

Any info/help would be appreciated.
