but decided to play a bit more of nl100 for a confidence boost, since ive been beating it for like 5.8bb/100 over 56k hands (while still running about 10bi below ev) so i was like YEAHHH LETS CRUSHH YEAHHHHH
since it was liek 6 am my time i decided to just do a 6 table session because i found some fking amazing 60-90% vpip fish , i also played the 15k guar
said fish started playing back at me as i started 3b isoing them , and ended up stacking off to me on J34 with KJo to my AJ, binks his 3 outer in a 4 BI pot, halp
then vs another fish end up getting top top in against his turned set for another 4 BI
then busted out of the guar when super fishy station called my flop OB on 462ddd with Kd7h when i had 66
might play some live tonight, but ffs, hate it when you trap fish and go "YESSSS I GOT YOUUUUU" , then they bink their 5% chance , and leave the table. /rage
honestly tho, im only down 2bi, but just gross cause i should be up around 4-5 or so ..need teh monies to play nl200 yo
I just got back from a 6 month stay in Bangkok. Going back there in a month or so for another 6 months.
I'm taking a short 2 week holiday in a friend's 3k euro/month apartment in Malta (st julians)
I walked to the casino last night which is pretty close to the apartment. some quite attractive ladies go there so i think it must be a pretty good pickup spot.
Life is depressing, all the answers i look for just make it worse.
I'm convinced im insane, I feel really close to figuring out what it is. I need to go back to having no conscious thinking and just impulsively living life before i drown.
So i quit poker for the summer, its just been so nice enjoying the weather and just being out in the sun instead of all day in front of a computer. I figure i can cash out my roll for the summer and its not like poker is going anywhere and will still be there for me to redeposit in the winter time when boating isnt the main thing for me to do. I had the decision to finish my car and get all the body work and painted or buy a boat. well obv the boat is more fun than having my car all hooked up. I have a body kit and rims on my integra just sucks its not painted yet but to get a person to do all the body work around here u have to wait a month or so just to get an appt. I wish everyone on LP lots of luck im sure ill still be browsing around here now and then. GL to all and enjoy life cause u only get one life to live.
the past 2 days I have played great poker again! There is something about my room, when its all calm around me and I can focus 100% on the poker - then I play so good! Today I was in the zone, I read my opponents well and I ran pretty well. I played for 6h straight, kinda lost a little in the end when the hunger kicked in, but before that I am more then pleased with my play.
The result reflected the play, 6+BI, and now I´m a couple of BI up again for the month. In the future I think I will try to stay home when I am grinding so external elements cant effect my results in a negative way... I love this feeling I have right now about my play
Played the 5k PLO today. Busted on the second blind level. The quickest I've busted from a decent field tournament ever I think.
Table fish was playing 95% of hands and raising about 90% of them. I had iso'd him a few times and did again about 90bb's deep with KK9T double suited black.
Flop Jd 3c 4c. Fish check/shoved and I called.
Lost to Ah Jc Tc 9s. Turn red nine and no help.
Probably going to play the PLO tournament at the Venetian tomorrow afternoon, maybe box some of my loss back.
Went and saw the SakiSaki over at the other house. He generously provided me a Snus and I am quite pleased with this development.
Well had a good session running a bit over ev which is always nice so im overall +2bi sick ;o. Had a friend sweat my 6max and give pointers/leaks so i feel i can really improve from here and start to see some good results instead of nit ringing :D. I can't play untill sunday as im not home i have to go to london (maybe i can play in gamerbase?!). Most people on this site play starcraft, i however haven't ever played it but i do play cod4 'proffessionaly' you could say so ive got to go to london for a tournament and a show match, i honestly cba id rather sit at home living a sick life and work on my game but it should be a fun weekend being out with like-minded gamers for a weekend lol. Potential to win a bit of cash but not too much although its enough for a student (if we win..) and the travels/accomo is free so all is good on that side.
Afaik going out saturday night so i probably wont play till monday cos playing with a hangover sucks ass.
Rant over ! :D

btw anyone play dota? pm me if u wanna come play some games some time :D

My biggest cash to date. When starting this blog my original goal was to reach 10k from 0 in 1 calendar year by playing cash games and moving up the cash game pyramid. When I hit a rocky stretch I figured "there has to be a better way." So I switched to tournaments and have become a tourny regular. I wouldnt recommend the switch to everyone but it is definitely a better fit for me. Now I'm at the 10k mark in around 6 months of play. I'm going to adjust my goal to try and make it to 25k by years end.
Now for the favor. I've been playing exclusively on FTP for 6 months and I know that I need to get money on PS to really start taking advantage of the guaranteed tournies. On FTP there is usually only 3 worthwile tournies every 2 hours. So I was wondering if a trusted member of this site, probably a microstakes players would want to earn $20 to help me out for 20 minutes. I made a new account on PS and I want to see if they shutdown my account the second a real money transfer is made to the account.
I was banned because one of my irl friends multi-accounted and we sent money back and forth all the time so they shut mine down too. They needed me to send in ID and I was only 16 at the time so I didnt have any options. So if someone could help me out, I would want a $50 transfer on PS and I'll send $70 on FTP. Thanks.
I'm sorry I have not blogged inawile. I had lost like 4k playing 1/2 and was left with like 1.5k to play and had lost a lot of motivation to play poker. I'm really disappointed in myself for that because I am the last person to get discouraged about something when things are going so well. It's kinda like when you get into a slump of losing games on iccup or something. It gets really easy to just stop playing. Like if you don't play starcraft for one day. It's very easy to just stop playing. For me anyways.
However, I've been 24 tbling 25nl and running pretty good and 12 tbling 50nl. Such a nit fest though.
I got a job at Taco Bell at the beginning of the Summer. And I have to be honest. It sux dick. Place is busy like 24/7. But I'm lucky and grateful to have a job and money to play poker. One thing is for sure though I can't wait to go back to school in the Fall. I'll be able to put my 2 weeks at Taco Bell and just focus on school and poker and shit. I'm going to be living in Downtown Denver too where my school is. The place that I'm staying in has the sickest view of the city. It is going to be awesome to finally get out on my own and out of my parents house. Even though I love my parents.
Also I wanted to give a shout out to NeillyAA because whenever I log onto the world wide web I check his blog. And something I really admire about the guy is that he not only blogs when he runs good, but, also when he runs bad. He also vacationed to Vegas and decided not to leave. So he could pursue his goals and learn more about poker and shit. I dunno.. It's just cool to see a guy go for it. I don't know him or have ever talked to him but he seems like a really chill and humble guy.
Anyways, yah I can't wait to start school and move downtown. Btw I love playing Cod 4 and Halo 3 send me a pm if you wanna play. Pce guys.
Btw heres me on a plane watching replays. http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/e1da0157db6e0a88a1e076e6d5f81671.jpeg

i was qualified for some rakeback 3k freeroll on cake, out of 174 i got 21st for 30 bucks played good, picked my spots wisely, folded around to me, got it in w/ 4.5k on 400/800 blinds, guy with 12k on bb insta calls, i have A9cc he had K8cc, rivers an 8 =*(
...I supposed to play poker if every monster I got I have to fold ??
this is unreal, can't believe that this shit isn't rigged, because it makes no fucking sense!!
After yesterday I had today a bit free day. I played only two satellites but with no results. I was doing some work most of the day. Tomorrow I want to play and also watch some videos from CR.
Today I played two sessions with my good friend who is regular on NL100. We played 1142 hands but with result -$98.33 because we were unlucky and also made one bad play and stacked off there. But I think that our game was good and we had a few very good moments but highlight of our sessions was this hand - http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/706239. Opponent said that he had called us because he knew that we had nothing. After this we couldn’t stop laughing for a long time.
In the evening we went to card club to play live cash game (blinds 5/10 CZK = 0.25/0.50 USD). I was doing well but lost something in the end and finished almost break even (-14 BB). I had one good suckout when I 3bet KQs preflop vs. shortstack, flopped flush and pushed him all-in. He called me with top pair and caught running full house. But it was fun only for 27 BB. We finished late and in the end it was fun because we also played other games like 5 card draw, 2-7 lowball, ...
All signs are pointing that I'm not good enough to beat NL200, but I don't actually believe that? This is my fourth failed shot, and I think I've had only 2 winning sessions over 11k hands.
