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

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!

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:

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.

For some reason I never went to sleep. Fixing to hit the sack after 30+ hours of awakeness running on 4 hours of sleep. Shits retarded brah.

Bigredhoss showed up at the house today so that was cool. Big group went to naked fish(super sick sushi joint) tonight:
myth
myth's gf
frinkx
frinkx's gf
bigredhoss
Teej
RobbieV
Nazgul
NIGHT2O1!!!!!
VanDerMey.. fuck I don't know how to spell it
Pooruser
Citizenwind

Fuck there were 1 or 2 others I think but they were across the table and I honestly can't remember at the moment lol.

Was a good dinner.

Also met Fraser and MiPwNYa the other night, which was awesome as they both turned out to be really cool dudes. Played pool, played a sit 'n go with the sick line up of Peachy, Pooruser, Fraser, MiPwNYa, and I. Obviously, Pooruser and I chopped his 4:1 chip lead due to his fear of me heads up. Also played Tennis. By 7AM Fraser was stuck $120 to me in propbets but obviously I got hustled out of it when we all agreed to flip and quite frankly, Fraser is the smaller-stakes Artanis when it comes to flipping IMO. Pooruser got hustled the sickest by Fraser in flips though, so I don't feel too bad.

So things have been good except for poker which I'm sure will pick up and I'll go on a massive heater soon. Definitely been playing an hour or 2 of nl10 PLO on FTP where I will be experimenting and see what I think of the game (I've been having a lot of fun so far). We'll see if that goes anywhere... Otherwise just trying to think about my NLH game and try to sort of hit my next breakthrough

/edit
FUCK I forgot Ket, I hardly talked to him because he was way across the table

Have been hit with a downswing playing micro cash games so I switched to Sit n Go's for a change. MY downswing continued and I must suck.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/a9467157b334d6b2e636bc55e21fe878.png

I played one guy heads up 13 times and he ran insanely hot but had insane betting tells so that sucked. What resources are there or should I just build a larger roll and get used to it?

Thanks

I have started playing again after a 2 month break. My bankroll is big enough for nl200 shots, time to donate !!!

1)It's finally starting to cool down outside from this 95 degrees with 90%+ humidity, having swamp nuts from sitting in a chair is just not pleasant.
2)GF is coming for the weekend woohoo.
3)Played 3 sessions today, first two I started out well and missed a couple combo draws late to finish up about 1/2 a buyin in 2k hands which isn't bad I'll take it. The 3rd session however, went extremely well. I won every single big pot I was involved in 2 of which were flips when it went in. It feels really really well to be on this side of things, overall +6 buyin session which I'm really happy about.

On that note I need to go shower my GF should be here soon. Hope this heater continues

4 and 6 tabled 50nl today rather than do my usual 8-10 tables really worked on my game, overall it was pretty solid. Played a laggier 23/21 which probably was just a tad too loose for the games, but /shrug. Was trying to work on my red line.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/krzxalien/sesh.jpg

was gonna end the session +4 buy ins then the last hand I was gonna play this happens:

Villain was 20/14 over 109 hands. Could anyone fold this, or just a setup?

+ Show Spoiler +

Hey guise, what's the best coaching site at this time in your opinion? My holidays are starting and I'd like to watch some poker videos.
Appreciate any input.

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot play cash games effectively with a 20-25 BI bankroll. I let -3 BI sessions get to me, when they really shouldn't. Its only 3 BI. When I was playing NL10, 3 BI was really nothing. It would not effect me. Then at NL25 it effected me a little, but not too bad. Now at NL50, it effects me. I start to tighten up after loosing some standard beats, and stop playing at my best. Even if I go take a break and come back, I cannot get rid of it from my mind. I tell myself, to not think about the money, but I guess loosing $150 in space of 30 minutes with a $1200 bankroll effects me.

So I could move back down to NL25 and grind up a more comfortable bankroll for NL50. But I do not like this option. Why? Because my NL25 winrate has not been amazing. The truth of the matter is, i make a ton more money from tournaments than I do in cash games. In fact if I didn't play cash games, I would probably have a lot more of a bankroll. In fact in the last 40k hands, I have lost a total of $700 playing NL25/NL50. Yea thats right. $700. Yet I am a constant winner in large field sit+gos.

And I have come to the conclusion as to why. You see it does not effect me if my Aces get cracked by KQ in a $4 donkament. It doesn't effect me in a $12 donkament either. it has no effect. I see it as standard and I continue to play my 'A' game. It really is down to my bankroll. Some people can play with 20 BI bankrolls. But I have discovered that it simply will not work for me. I cannot always play my A game with the amount of bankroll.

So my new goals. I have decided that the month of July I am going to playing a lot of sit+gos and donkaments, to build a larger bankroll to go and attack NL50 again. Depending on this success I may not even go back to cash games, as if I have a sustainable edge at sit+gos, why stop? my only concerns of playing the 180man sit+gos, are that the non turbo ones take up a lot of time. Average of 4 hours for FT, is a long time. And it is pretty mentally draining as you cannot really take any breaks if you are multi tabling these, as the breaks overlap (yea stars plz get FTP breaks asap). So I think I will take a look at the turbos as well, as a lot of people play pretty poor in these.

I remember Boku amazing us all by making $10k in 15 days from $100. It reminded me that there is profit in sit+gos. I feel this is the right way to build a bankroll for me.

I am thinking of around 4k bankroll for NL50. What are your thoughts on this? if it goes well I might even grind roll for NL100!

See you at the tables

Well, $25 is not really much to start with. And I'm finding it very difficult to actually figure out what the best way to try and build this roll up without going insane. I don't have enough of a BR to play basically any SNG, and I'm finding it quite pointless to grind out hours for a measly $5 gain or so. Seems just like a waste, and the .01/.02 tables though very easy, are again kind of annoying to be spending hours playing.

Unfortunately, this job search has been going absolutely terrible. I have a Bachelor's Degree which I think absolutely hinders me. I went for an interview for a job working at a front desk for a gym for $10 / hr, she said that I was "over qualified" for the position since I'll probably leave for greener pastures. In response, I said "Have you been out there looking for jobs recently? There is no such thing as "overqualified" anymore" It's terrible for that job there were 14 interviewees. And for a cheese clerk position there was 12. Luckily I was one of the 3 finalist where I had to spend a volunteer hour working to see if I could beat out the other candidates. I don't even know how much the job pays, but it's probably not much, and the woman said that if I didn't get a call before the weekend then I didn't have the job. I applied at Dunkin' Donuts as well, where there was actually a sign that said "Help Wanted" The man gave me a puzzled look after looking at past experiences and education.

I just don't know what to do anymore. I am completely flat broke, and I must say a bit depressed. I don't really have a reason for being the least bit depressed, but money issues are constantly lingering in my head. I'm not going to give up on looking for jobs, that will never be the case, because it's money that will never have swings associated with it, other than taxes: . Plus, I really love interacting with the general public. However, for the time being, I'm really thinking about asking for a stake. I never thought I would ever conceive of looking for a staker, but I don't really know what else to do.

For one, I have no idea what the rules are with staking. All I know is that someone puts out a sum of money for you, and in return there is some sort of interest put on you etc. etc. etc. So, I think I'm going to ponder the idea for a bit. And I was looking for help from the community in helping me make my decision. If I was going for a stake, I would like to start at 10NL. I would really like to start at 25NL but I'm a little weary, because I've never used another persons money. So I wanted to know what is a reasonable stake to ask for? Also, if anyone would even be interested? And what the stake would actually entail as far as payback. I'm sorry I don't have any poker tracker results to back me up. But I am a winning player at 10NL and I was a winning player at 25NL for a very long time before I cashed out my roll.

So Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
