Well June is basically over for me.. I have some golf tournaments coming up and shit that will keep me busy for the last couple days of the month so I figured id just call it quits a little early.

At the start of the month I was basically in 2/4 trying to regrind after suffering through a long breakeven stretch which included buying a condo and totalling my car... which made me need to buy a new one. SO needless to say I was hoping for a good month to make up for the money i had been spending.

I went basically from 2/4 through to playing 5/10 towards the end and even took a small 10/20 shot all with relative success.

Also on July 5th dzoo and I are going to vegas for about a week so anyone whos there and wants to go out for dinner and stuff should lemme know... We are staying in Ballys, should be good times

Day 27: 27.6.09

After yesterday I didn’t feel in good condition today. Most time of the day I was sleeping or relaxing. About poker I only watched some videos on CR.

Day 26: 26.6.09

Today I played one session in the afternoon. I played exactly 1100 hands and won half BI. I was again sixtabeling and I still feel good about it. In the evening Johny called me that he has some party in his house so I was ready to go. I came there late but it was really very good. Party had everything what it has to have: drinking from preserving jar, loud music, bathing in pool at 3 a.m., angry neighbors and also morning wake up was good...Ouch

Total result so far: 12633 hands, -$252.96

We will stay all July together in another campus where they have summer accommodation. Our plan is grind all month as much as we can and win as much as we can. and YES WE CAN

Day 24: 24.6.09

Today I didn’t have much time for poker. Cause in the afternoon I had some think to do and in the evening we had party I mentioned yesterday. So I played only short session which has around 300 hands and I finished -$10. In the evening we celebrated that couple friends of mine has passed bachelors exams. It was pretty cool and I also celebrate that I successfully finished this semester.

played some full tilt...

won a 3 dollar 90 person ko tourney for like 70 bucks i think, yea it's pretty sweet. also won some cash monies so at around 165 on full tilt from the 50 that i got. haven't really gotten the bonuses though, but i guess i have another month to unleash it. pretty sweet results.

played a few hands on pstars...

ran pretty good, lots of coolers lots of set/set but i sucked out way hard on some lper (i recognized the avatar)

this was cool
http://www.liquidpoker.net/mytlnet/myhand.php?view=item&id=711076

i was teaching a friend how to play and i said "i'm betting here on the river to induce a shove see?"

and we were shouting like mad when he shoved and snap called fist pumped popped champagne shot flare guns and then just started dieing of laughter to this ridiculous outcome.

anyway first night i've ever played for so long through the night drunk and tipsy. and i guess go ahead and add first winning drunk night as well.

thoughts on poker:
all the frustration and anxiety from poker seems so far away from me right now. i love this game i guess. meh it must be so easy when you run good (to love the game i mean).

Seriously, this is getting sick.

One spew where I called push on flush board with AK and one TPTK beat by a set of a total maniac which could be avoided perhaps.


But apart from that its just suckouts, coolers, and heaters later TT

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

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!
