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.
just trying to rebuild really. pretty sure i can restore lost confidence, so good luck to me will be active in hand posting as soon as i get back to 100nl
Sup guys. Poker has been going good lately. And Wednesday I get to turn in my two weeks at Taco Bell because I'm going to drive to California with my Dad. I'll be there for a month and get to see my Grandma and chill in the hotel and play lots of poker and xbox. Which should be sick. Cali is cool too because there is an in and out burger there. That place is legit.
I just found out FTP has WU as a depositing method so I'll probably put like 1k on there before I leave with my Dad. Then when I get back from California school will be starting and I'll get to move out. Well I'ma play some poker before I pce out to bed. Later guys gl hf.
ok so i was playing some nl10 plo, focused 4 tables playing well running good etc then a couple hours in i get bored, then the amazing idea hit me, why dont i jus fuck around for fun? So, here i am 3 hours later after 3-4-5 betting pf and on the flop at almost every street, i have blew 2/3 of my roll. In a way im glad its happened now as its kind of motivation for me to become better at my game and ofcourse NOT TO PLAY TIRED AND THINK ITSA GOOD IDEA TO FUCK AROUND;O. Had funny PF moment where i was $80 deep on nl10 PLO (just after i started being an idiot..) i got away with a 5 bet bluff PF and then it all went down hill.
Also looking if anyone would be interesting in some form of coaching (NLHE OBV) 6max preferred and for payment a profit sharing deal over X hands would be fine on my side (you choose x, i can put in alot of volume) as i think its time i really started putting the hours into my game not just robotting.
Hit me up with a pm if anyones interested.

I doubt I will get any response from this but was wondering if any baller out there would want to stake me for the summer (as I have off from school) for 90 man KO sngs and mtts $3.30 and less on full tilt. Would be 60/40 in favor of backer. PM me if there is any interest in this...
Today I played one MTT and two sessions. MTT was 10$ buy-in on CakePoker and I was doing well but I was out in first positions in ITM when I lost in coinflip (A9 vs. 22). At the same time I played my first session and I was also doing well and was really satisfied with my game. I made good laydowns when I preflop folded QQ and one of opponent has AA and on turn I folded my JJ overpair and my opponent has set as was my read on him. Unfortunately I had bad spots in the end and had also two bad beats (AK vs KQ and then KQ vs QJ). This really pissed me off and I felt like I can’t win anymore. This is graph of this session: http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2684/todaysession.jpg
I know it’s not big deal but I hate loosing. This moth is not going how I imagine and I complained to my friend. He told me to play more and I will win again. I know he is right this is only temporary feeling and every good poker player know it. I will not give up and I definitely know that I can beat this limit so I have to continue try my best.
After couple of hours, in the evening I played second session. I decided to play not four tables as I was playing till now but six tables. I play TAG style and my style is a bit tighter (my stats are 17/13) so I think I can easy handle with it. I think I play solid but I’m still learning. I play poker a bit over one year but with online poker I started in June this year. Back to my second session NL50 sixmax on Betfair and my first sixtabeling. I was doing well and sixtabeling wasn’t problem so without bad beat in this short session I won almost two buy-ins. So total result for today was +$35.2 in 1390 hands. I had in this session one tough spot where I probably made good laydown but didn’t play that hand well so how I should play this hand it better: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/708731 ??.
In the end I have one more question on you guys. I was thinking about what is optimal openraise from SB to BB? 3BB? 2,5BB? What’s your opinion???
need a car by august when school starts. Found a truck for <5K, looks absolutely amazing, looks like it runs great as well. i'm going to check it out tomorrow, prolly test drive it. Only problems is i dont have 5k and this vehicle in such great condition will not last long being priced so low...
Selling WPT action + random updatesby Joe, June 22
Hi all,
WPT Barcelona action
I am back from Vegas and soon on my way to WPT Barcelona. I would like to sell part of my action in the tournament. It is a €5,300 eur freezeout and I am looking to sell 35-40% of my action. 1% is for €60. At the moment there is about 25-30% left for sale. PM me or write into comments if you are interested in buying some piece of me.
Random June updates
- Played 7 WSOP events, cashed twice
- Made 1 deep run in a $1,500 wsop event 34 (i think), ended up 24th out of 2640 or something players after a Californian guy in the big blind called my 15bb push from high-jack and my 88 stood no chance against his monstrous A2o obviously.
- Met surprisingly few LiquidPokerians at the Rio eventhough I was there like every day from June 2 to 18. Where have you been everyone?
- Came back home and won the WSOP ME package the very next day, lol. Probably not coming back though, the flight is way too long.
- So far doing good overall in poker this month, already won more than what I lost last month, so quite happy with that and feeling confident obviously, which is good for the upcoming Barcelona trip. Of course it can still easily turn to a pretty bad month, but I hope it wont happen
Thats it, gl everyone at the WSOP and let me know if someone is coming to Barcelona too.
I'm looking for a stake this sunday for the sunday brawl and the sunday mulligan on FTP. I'm selling 10 pieces of me for each event at 50/50. This is the first stake I have ever seeked so i am somewhat inexperienced with this. Tell me if im doing something wrong.
Mulligan - $216 - 10 pieces at 21.60 each
Brawl - $256 - 10 peices at 25.60 each
claim your piece(s) by replying to this thread or pming me.
