Had a great session today. 6 tabled and really focused on playing good poker. 3 bet a lot in position, and just played really well. First really good session at 50nl actually. I think i'm gonna keep playing like this . Got some coolers, QQ v KK, and KK v AA, but thats standard lol.

Hey LP I got off to a terrific start this month and really burned things up at NL50. I got enough FPPs to buy $184 in their June bonus credits and cleared a $250 reload from a while ago to get my roll to around $2000 and decided to take a shot at NL100.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/vickter/junenl100.jpg

I was break even for the first stretch of hands and then lost like $200-300 and decided to play NL50 the rest of the month. I also played in some HU cash games for fun and I played very well I thought, as seen here:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/vickter/junenl50hu.jpg

Towards the latter half of the month in NL50 6-max, I got off to a small down swing as you'll see below. I got over flushed and over setted a couple times by fish and I think I played badly only in very little spots.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/vickter/junenl50.jpg

I played 62.18 hours this month and put in 28170 hands. I feel pretty good about this, and I have made $1200~ this month including from bonuses.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/vickter/junepoker.jpg

I just hit Platinum Star today which is pretty cool, and thought that I should take a break for the rest of the month from cash games. I will play in the Turbo Takedown tomorrow though, and hopefully score something decent. I got $40 in the last one (I think?) which isn't the best, but definitely not that bad.

Next month, I will be taking shots at NL100 again. I also have an announcement that I will be going for Supernova. Even though it is somewhat of a late start for me, I only need 84287 VPPs more and it is definitely doable. I need about 216121 hands for the rest of the year at NL100, and only about 36000 hands a month. I will be sticking to this goal as long as I stay at NL100. I am very excited to be attempting this, and hopefully clearing it. Good luck to any other players that is still late in the race to hit Supernova.

After 1.5 years of playing pokers im now down to nl5 and losing. i lost all of the profits i made and deposited 200 which im in the process of blowing at nl5

if i can't beat it after like 30k hands ima just quit or grind only for the rakebacks fml lol

not all bad, im just a casual fish and i've taken up bodybuilding like eating 8 times a day and lifting at home while saving up for a gym membership (1k a year wtf) so hopefully less suckouts there ffs

poker sucks when you haven't got the time to put in tons of hands to reach the longer run but w/e ima just give it one last go till the end of this year and then quit if i haven't gotten to like nl25 or w/e

gl at the tables yo

I'm looking for some input on your guys's cashing out practices. Currently I have about $2600 (52 buyins). I don't need the money atm and I don't have anything I want to buy but I'd like to take some money out for savings for a couple reasons. Most importantly because I want to have some real "profit" from poker. I still want to move up in stakes as well and I don't want to use all of my money to judge my bankroll management because eventually I will move up and go on a downswing and I'm screwed.

Is there anyone here that has cashed out money when they still weren't satisfied with the stakes they were playing and wanted to move up? I'm thinking something along the lines of cashing out 50% of my winnings and using the other 50% to build my bankroll to move up in stakes. Any advice is appreciated.

I just started poker again earlier this month after a 3month break. (3months ago I tilted most of my roll after a shot at nl100). Been rebuilding and running great at nl25, although every time I take a shot at nl50 I run like shit

I'm down in omaha, NL400, NL600 and donkaments this month. Up on NL1k and a little bit up at NL2k. Think I might turn this month into a decent score. To bad the hand wasn't just 300€ deeper or so, would've been able to post it in the "I'm a retard"-section of HOTW.

I was pissed in the morning. The Suckouts and my tilt were so sudden that 5minutes beyond stop lost cost me like a billion bb.
+ Show Spoiler +

-200
I can't stand NL10 any more
1 Month until my full-time job starts
back to $600

So I decided to fuck it all, take my measly BR and do one do or nothing session at 9 tables NL25.

My plan was clear - I would quit poker into 1hr/day mode if I went under $450, as I have not played standard last 50 days.

Well, looks like I will hang around for a while.

Just one rule- no NL10.

I have one month of free life, and I will either rock it in style at NL25, or simply not rock at all.

Also, I will take aggressive shots at NL50 with $1000.


The following month will decide if this game is really for me, if I have high stakes potential in 3-4 year horizon, or if my time is better spent elsewhere.

Ideally I should have supernova (4k VPP left) and be spending most of my time at NL50 by the end of the next month to make grinding worthwhile with my job

The HU graph...

That's the story.. I had a stake for the last month that didnt run well.. It's over now and I'm looking for another stake!

Please post your conditions.. im up for almost anything .. ALMOST!=

I would love to play NL50 on a stake.. But I guess that's a bit too high to start off with - so a NL25 stake would be nice!


Contact me via PM if you got any questions and/or are interested or ask for my MSN!

I'm still selling pieces for the WSOP ME

I'm selling pieces at $95 for each 1%
(automatic +ev deal given 1% of the ME is worth $100)

I'm still looking to sell 30-40% *just sold 5% more* 25-35% +5%, +1, +1%

Still selling 18-30%

You can opr me and sharkscope me or look a couple posts down

lemme know lp

Ryan

If I win this tournament, this is a $95 investment for around $70,000.

I'm peaking in MTT's and in my poker mindset.

This is war motherfuckers.

STAKE!

Back to $600.

I haven't played normal poker in about 50 days.I had brutal downswing in May, then moving, forced withdrawal (about $700), PC troubles only to run into yet another brutal downswing and -EV stretch


I start a full time job in a month, and am seriously considering just quit poker or play like 1hr/day, ask family for cash and enjoy the summer.

Hey, so I haven't really played poker much for a while cos of uni work and stuff, but I thought it might be fun to share my latest assignment with you guys.

I'm doing an assignment on computer graphics, and how to avoid aliasing (visible as moire patterns and jagged edges) in computer graphics.

To the point, I processed a picture of Karina Nose for giggles:

https://ouihfa.bay.livefilestore.com/...fPWYpTYQjbc7LP2adNg/Karina%20Nose.png

Now, if you can be bothered reading past here, the description of each picture follows:

Original picture (large image)

dumbly resized image: one pixel in every square containing 49 pixels is taken, the rest are discarded.

slightly less dumbly resized image: the colour values of 49 pixels are averaged to give one pixel in the smaller image.

another slightly less dumbly resized image: a random pixel within the square of 49 pixels is chosen, and the rest are discarded.

a little bit smartly resized image: 25 random pixels are chosen from the square of 49, and averaged to give the colour of the pixel in the resized image.

For fun, here is Eva Longoria processed in the same way:

Passed on going out tonight cause I wanted to play the event tomorrow. Played 5/10 for a couple of hours at the red rock casino instead. Aj has talked about how soft that game is on the weekends but idk really. The game was soft but crappy cause of a couple of shorties and shit. I ran over the table pretty brutally but aj owned me in a couple of pots and i ended up down 1,5k or so. So I come home a bit pissed and shit cause Im down and because the game broke all of a sudden but w/e, Im playing the event tomorrow so I feel good about coming home pretty early.

Well, I guess not. Just talked to nolan on msn and apparently the event is full and I havent registered yet FML.

Such tilt cause I passed on a solid dinner at naked fish+ a night of clubbing with lpers to play a shitty 5-10 game and losing money.

Fuck this bullshit

Does anyone else feel like their happiness is tied to their poker success? I'm pretty sure my happiness is based around any success in life, because that's all i strive for.

Also, i'm pretty sure im as close as someone can be to socially awkward and not be, everyone always loves me but I think it's because im drunk most of the time they are around and im a social animal drunk. I'm drunk right now and i love life. It makes me feel great when no reg will ever sit and play me shorthanded, it's like my only medicine when im losing. I've played 15k+ hands in the past 2-3 days and it's turning around but fuck, a few bad beats and I could be in shitsville again. My roommate couldn't find work and went to work in michigan and im all home alone. I've been with plenty of girls but the only one i ever cared about is coming to see me tomorrow and I hope i can convince her to stay with me.

I <3 lp I dunno where I would be without you guys, I'm buying everyone drinks in vegas next year so you better be there.
