Ever moved two stakes in one month?by CrownRoyal, June 24
I started this month with 7.5k in my cake account which isn't all of the money I have, but it's all the money im going to dedicate to it. I have money saved away for dire straits and some money invested to get familiar with it and for fun but enough ranting. My account has 3k now.
what the fuck is going on, im not playing irrationally, i'm not playing out of my br and im putting in huge hours now that im concerned about my well being considering ive been way irresponsible with poker up until now and never put in good hours and always made good money.
I hate it when people do this and I think for the most part people exaggerate but I'm almost positive if I take the time to look in HEM and prove it ive won one race in the past 10k hands, my big hands always lose to implied odds hands like 77 or 67s in crucial spots where I can't really fold etc and I'm not getting any action on any of my good hands that I'm definitely getting.
I really dont want to move down to nl50 but I need to cashout the minimum im gonna need to pay my bills/buy groceries and I dunno if I can do all of that. The only good thing in all of this is that i can't handle losing and i'll play 200k hands if that's what it takes to continue but fuck i hate my life right now. I really just want to go to bed and fuck my bitch that I don't have but instead im sobering up from going to the water with my friends today to handle losing 500 more and im gonna play poker. Thank lee jones for rakeback, it's the only thing I'm playing for.
Taaaaaking a break, from playing!by dahornnn, June 23
Well looking back over my HH etc and the time stamps of my sessions it has occured to me that as of late i only ever have time to play when im busy doing work stuff and 8 tabling, or im playing at a rediciulous time whilst tired, so my focus is gone and i miss simple things like 'this guys a nit..' and even things as retarded as eff stack sizes jus a scroll of the mouse wheel and a click of bet raise check or fold, no thinking which isnt good. So, ive decided i will stop playing untill i can effectively sort myself out and have free hours during the day when i am at maximum focus w/o distractions which would probably take q a while so for now ive cashed out what was left of my roll. A bonus that comes out of this, i still get the beauty of going over HH on LP and i can spend my time studying poker when im tired instead of playing (has to be slightly more effective in the long run no?). Also wondering if anyone is up for letting me rail them through migoko or something so i can get an insight intoa 'higher stakes' player than my experience.
gglgllgLP
p.s if anyone recommends any good books/articles/shit to read plz let me know
I'll send first to anyone reputable. PM me or post or whatever. There's a couple people that can vouch for me, if you're not reputable and you want to xfer.
Thanks.

Before I get into my new prop bet I am trying to come up with I will update my day for those who have started reading my blog again. I will answer some of my comments from yesterday at the end also. I started yesterday with about 4.3k online after this awful month/-52 BI session so far and the graph I posted early yesterday I had been 24 tabling nl50 6 max and nl200 6max/fr. I put in a nl100 Fr session later after i woke up from nap and towards the end played some more nl50 6 max. I will say the day went very well http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/0ef0aa3eadcd34325a6e3e15c2e121a8.jpg
At the end I decided to play some nl50 fr and start a buncha tables and play like 9 HU at once lol tilted like a mother fucker though but overall am very happy with the day and my recovery.
Onto my newest prop bet idea and really would like some suggestions from you guys. The original idea a friend proposed was 50k hands nonstop at full-ring with positive winrate. With my really good results I have been having at 6 max the past few months 24 tabling I thought why not 50k hands in 1 day/24 hours at 6 max. I haven't really crunched the numbers to hard yet but it would be about 29 hours 24 tabling fast tables at full ring and 6 max I believe i get about 2100ish hands playing a mix of normal/fast tables but I am positive I could do all 6 max fast tables very easily so need to find out an exact hourly number but it should end up being 23 hours straight 24 tabling fast 6 max. I am pretty sure 50k 1 day sounds more impressive but what do you guys think would be best to try out. Obv would use webcam, stars verification and all the same things from my last prop. Am pretty sure I would do it at a combination of nl25-nl100 also. Would be aiming to do this late July/early August depending on my bankroll online and probably would look for 3-1/4-1 in odds but am not really sure about this number, hopefully you guys will have some good suggestions on this. I def think with my recent graph of me losing 52 BI i could get action on this lol.
Some answers to comments I have gotten recently, my stats for 24 tabling 6 max started out at 19/16 but have gotten it up to 23/19/8 percent 3bet which I'm not really sure if this is nitty/tag or what it would be considered but hopefully will be able to open my game up a little bit more.
I'm not positive my ptbb/100 at nl50 6 max because I have fr/6m hands combined in my database but I'm pretty sure its around 8ptbb/100 over 80kish hands so far.
As far as what my setup i currently play on its 2 24's and 1 other monitor thats hooked up to other computer for music/movies/tv shows and can just dedicate my living room computer to poker. Going to be upgrading my chair asap for my upcoming volume prop bets. Sorry crappy pic
Good session turns into dumb sessionby BalloonFight, June 23
So I was playing 12 tables and having a pretty nice session and then I got into 2 pretty big pots equaling more than a buyin when my internet discs. Annoyingly it wouldn't work for the rest of the night so I had to end the session prematurely. Really frustrating to blow a buyin there when I had the nuts on one table and almost certainly was going to win the other hand as well. Luckily I still ended up for the night but meh.

My best month to date, also the most poker i've every played, currently at 105 hours for the month, i feel im playing my A game. Finally moved up to NL50, things are good. Bonus's are getting smashed, Rakeback is grrowing. Menz are getting smashed on the ball court (i wanna be able to dunk by the end of July) and inside the Muay Thai ring. I'm also joining Hyi_vams of PokerStars first poker school, hes a sick 2/4, 3/6, 5/10++ Pro. Anyway i went to his first class and hes basically promising us he'll teach us to beat 1/2 NL, BUT we must take a staking deal with him after the course is finished. So we have to sign a contract at the beginning of the course stating we will take a staking deal with him at the completion of the course and another contract at the completion of the course stating are staking terms. If we refuse, he wants to charge 4k for the coaching. I think he can really elevate my game, seems like a win-win situation for me. Classes start when hes back from the Main event in Vegas. Im pretty confident this guy will turn me into a sick baller
Summer is here and the broads are wearing less and less every day. I think this summer i'll wife a latin and white bitch, i had an asian one last summer so i gotta switch it up.
Run goooooooooooood one timeeeeeeeby Cooper83, June 23
Just got a callback on the application I sent in. It's a really good company to work for sick sick benefits, but there looking for someone with more experience. I do however know a couple people that have some pull there so you never know. The HR rep also mentioned they weren't having a lot of luck finding someone with more experience so hopefully I run good one time and get the job because that would be awesome. On the poker side of things I was mid session when she called so had to close it down, it was going pretty well, no big hands to post. Reverted back to what was profitable which is basically just abuse the idiots at the table and stop getting cute and trying to outplay people. The adjustment was needed and while it's a bit nittier then I will need to play at higher limits it crushes 25nl because they just call call call regardless of image. Anyway I'll probably play another session later and if I have some big losers that aren't total setups or suckouts I'll be sure to post for some criticism.
My buddy offered me 150 bucks to get me to convince the girls to ditch out on their plans that night and stay out on the boat longer, I was so close to closing the deal when her friend called and bitched her out. >_< asshat. I don't have a picture of the other girl that came with, I have a video on my phone but it's too big to straight up send to my email I guess, which is pretty gay because she's pretty fucking hot, drunk, and dancing to rap music in it. aka epiccccc xD
In all it was a fucking great day, It's pretty relaxing not worry about grinding anymore. With school around the corner I might just take an extended break. I'm probably going to be hitting up the lake again today, I'll post some more pictures if you guys are interested I guess.
theres too many times where i will have a strong hand, like a flush or a straight on a paired board and be too afraid to raise river when i face aggression
in other news, it's my birthday today
i am turning 20.
BTW stars is treating me good for my birthday (from about midnight last night and a session this morning). -5 BI in ev.
Hey whats up people. So apparently my account was still negative 10k when I woke up this morning and on tilt I decided that fuck this I need cash so I transfered like 20k from my other account so I could cash out a couple of grand from the atm. I do so and decide to head to the cage and see whats up. Apparently both my wire transfers went through and I had a 29k wire waiting for me even though my account was good for only 15k WTF? Ok whatever so I try to get all the money in chips right away so I can go play poker and it takes foreeeevveeer with signing shit and w/e. Eventually the queen of the cage comes forward and goes on a rant on how they need to know that I will use this money at the bellagio and not the rio(which I was intending to but never said duh) so now I can only cash out 2,9k right now and I have to use my fucking bellagio retard card to get more money for the poker game and establish myself as a poker player there or whatever. Fucking morons tilt gahh.
Anyways, I decide to try and get as much money out as possible so I sign up for 10/20 and request 5k in chips with my retard bellagio fuckcard. Apparently this takes forever and it seems to be a process that involves floormen running around asking eachother stuff for 30 min. I finally get my money and I get snapmoved from the mustmove table to a table that is 5-handed with a couple of what i presume are live regs.
I have come to the conclusion that live regs really do suck. They are good at one thing and thats being intimidating. They sit with like 40k at 10/20 and throw chips around but they take shit lines and they generally dont understand the importance of position. Anyways, I weak tight myself down to 3,5-4k and then I play a couple of sort of interesting hands:
I pick up AQ in MP and raise to 80, btn who is a live pro covering my 4k bumps it up to like 240, I call cause I cant really 4-bet and I cant really fold. This guy has been really active and likes just bullying people out of the pot. Flop comes KJ2r I check he bets like 2/3 and I call cause Im stubborn and retarded. In hindsight I think this was a misstake but I was pissed and w/e. Turn is the 10c so I bink the nuts. I checkraise his smallish bet to like 1700 leaving myself with something like 2k behind. He tanks and calls, river is a 9 putting a 4-straight out there and I shove and he folds KK face up. ( felt kinda owned but later on this guy folded KK pre after getting 4-bet oop with 8k effective and the winner showed J10o lol)
About an orbit later I pick up AKs otb, mp raises I 3-bet and sb coldcalls(sb is a reg that kinda looks like a mix between prince valliant and arnold schwarzenegger, hes agressive but kinda dumb oop). Original raiser calls aswell. Flop comes 8s6s2x, checked to me I bet, price valliant folds and old dude shoves for like with a smaller flushdraw. Flush binks and I ship the pot.
A couple of orbits later I call this nitish kinda guys raise in mp with 89dd, price valliant calls aswell. Flop comes 57Kdd. Original raiser bets I flat cause I think raising kinda sucks and valliant calls. Turn is the 6h giving me the nuts. Checked to me I bet 2/3 pot both people call. River bricks I bet 2/3 again both fold.
I played some other random hands that werent all that interesting, raised some flops barrelled some turns etc but w/e. Ended up +4k or something like that which feels nice. We also played some 5/10 at the rio later that night but I was on the nittiest table ever so it was pretty boring, ended like +$300 after like 4 hours. I also bumped into naz and daut at the rio which was pretty cool. They where railing on of their horses that was at the final table of the 10k plo(i think?)
Meeting lpers is always nice but meeting naz kinda made me starstruck.
Cant think of anything else to write about so yeah, until next time bitches
Hello again
It's been a while since my last blog post! From now on I will be writing on poker , and non-poker related stuff since I don't play much.
University - 1 out of 2
For the last couple months I was focused more or less on getting done with my university. I finally defended my dissertation for Managemet & Marketig major which I'm happy about. I have a pretty good chance of finishing with honours - so that's sweet. I'm taking about a chance, because a committee has to asseble and then decide if I'm worth or not. But it's not going to be a bad beat if I won't get it.
As for my Finance and Banking major I need 3 more exams - so I will be done with studying on July 10th. However, the biggest sweat is July 1st beacuse I will be writing an entry exam for master studies in Finance for Warsaw School of Economics. I am supposed to read 14 books from the list which the university prepared, but I think half of it is just fine=P Tests seem not as easy as I would imagine, but since it is A/B/C/D it's always better. Those tests that are put on the site as examples are written very well, and when I mention word "well" in this particular context I mean that without knowing anything about a question you are able to exclude 1 or 2 answers if your thinking, and logic is right about the sequence or association of words.
SUMMMMER
It's hard to really get into specific details of what I will be doing, beacuse if I don't get in for my masters I will become a bum and have a summer for 1 year ROFL. But in very short:
July
Finishing my last couple exams and start writing dissertation for Finance degree on the "Impact of financial crisis on Fannie Mae". I like the topic, but writing and analyzing their financial statement is pretty poopy coz they don't want to reveal too much. Also I might go to Cyprus to do some kitesurfing and visit a friend who owns a windsurfing school there
August
Hopefully I will be defending my dissertation ( 30% chance ). And I think I will concentrate on playing poker online. I will be playing 45, 90 and 180 man on Stars during peak hours, and try cash games first time in like a year. So I will deposit probably 100$ and start from NL10 go up. 25th August -> LV
September
I haven't booked a hotel yet in LV beacuse I'm not exactly sure which one, but I figure that Imperial Palace is gonna be good. It will cost me like 1,5$K for a month and I plan to start playing 1/2NL and take shots for 2/5 if the game is good. I heared that the location is very good, and that standard is also ok. I don't think I need much more than that, especially if I will concentrate on the game.
I have a roll of around 10$K, +30K$ stock market money. It doesn't mean that I will be using it, but if a good game of 2/5 will occur I will play. Also, I don't play cash games online at all so I'm not confident at all.
BMX
Weather is nice, so it's time to ride for a while! After that - studying.
I wish I was the rider in this movie, but can't say I am. If you don't like BMX, you might enjoy the track =)
I played a long session this morning and it was really really crazy. I think it had everything a session should and more beyond.
It started as usual with me loosing a BI on a cooler. I decided that I could loose 10BI on coolers and still not quit or tilt. So the pokergods decided not to test that theory for a while and let me run normal. So I grinded for a few hours, winning a few BI but nothing remarkable happened.
So it was almost as a session should be.. Soft and winning small all the time. Well, that cant happen at FTP!
In a 3BI pot I lost against a oneouter on the river and the next 5 minutes I lost a few BI more on coolers. Then it changed back and I won 3 flips in 10 hands and the table went like crazy and a reg started to curse like crazy for me being so lucky... didnt think regs had feelings
So I might have given up some value in not VB like 30% pot on the river but instead tried to get his whole stack again: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/708866
I only wish I was like dusty and could talk him into a call (guess there wasnt time since he folded very quickly).
after this it felt like his head kinda exploded.. we had a long nice and very very calm discussion in the chat.. he actually thought I had a set
10 minutes later a guy sits down to my left at another table. One of the first hands this happens: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/708858
I cursed a bit and decided to fold since I had no reads at all on him and we were pretty deep.
I guess i regret that later. He did this time after time after time. CO raises, fish calls in the SB, flopp 985, fish donkbets 87 in 13, CO folds. Noone calls in like 15 minutes. He just continues doing that and I just sit and hope to get a hand and get it in!
Finally fish donkbets as usual on a 632r flop (115$ in 25$ pot or so), reg goes AI (deep) with KK and fish instacalls with 62. Fish hand holds up and leaves the table with a few BI profit. FAIL at getting money!
Guess I was happy when it all calmed down after a while. If I ever believed in a rigged site I would post the HHs of that hour. Never seen so many coolers and 2-outers hitting all the time. It was almost an AI every 5 hands everytime I got some sort of a hand pre I knew we would come AI, the question, would I be the lucky one winning it?
Well, the session ended well after about 6h, winning like 5BI. If I had been somewhat lucky I guess that would easily have been doubled or tripled.
