CAN SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY HELP ME CASHOUTby try, June 05
I just cashed out my roll which was 500+
but i just received my rakeback of 108$ on cake poker however check min fee is 500$ so i can't cash out again
i don't have time to play anymore because baby on way and just got engaged
i can transfer 108 to your cake account first if you promise to send me 100 on paypal preferred! or /ultimate bet or fulltilt because they have 100 min
It seems I start to run good again, but my soul has not yet recovered from the Doomswitch, and I find refuge at NL10 and always spend my sessions there until I make at least 4BI, and then I take a 'shot' at NL25.
I feel like I have a shrapnel near my heart from the -40BI during 12 days explosion and it starts to hurt whenever I get a bad beat.
Hey birders, its about time I wrote another addition to my blog so here it comes.
I am currently on the floor of ToTMidians bedroom, hes asleep obv, he needs SO much sleep its unreal, like 12+ hours a day, incredible. Anyway, ive been in Mansfield, England for 8days now spending time with Jamie at his parents place, we've been doing lots of catching up, drinking, poker since we haven't seen each other since wcg cologne 08. I am going to update you on stuff we've been up to and poker and the future!
I arrived last thursday afternoon after my epic journey from my sisters, caught bus from my sisters at 9am arrived in Mansfield about 2pm I think, lots of train exchanges, lots of waiting, pretty standard stuff. Jamie and his mum picked me up from the station and we hed back to his place for some catchup and alcohol before going out for curry meeting up with Jamies friends which ended quite a drunk/fun/interesting night from starting in wetherspoons and ending up in liquid the "local club" :D I obviously had to show Mansfield how to drink/dance and bird. - Bird is a word you shall become familiar with if you know/talk to me or Jamie
Basically all week I have been getting up around 8-10am and playing some poker before Jamie gets up at like 12-1pm and then we watch poker videos, rail each other, watch UFC, grind the xbox and then hitting out basically every evening/night for pool/drinks/food/socializing with friends. Its been cool and Jamies friends are really nice, funny and good to hang out with and we all get on pretty well.
I've been bragging about this "sick event" that I wouldn't post about because I wanted to keep it secret from Jamie for aslong as possible but as mentioned in his blog, I am going back to Seoul, Korea with him on Sunday for 8weeks! Its going to be really good to spend the summer in Seoul, play poker, get drunk, eat korean food and just basically chill out for the summer there, going to be really immense. So if you are around Seoul this summer, please come out, get drunk with me and come birdin' =) I already think Kwark_UK and Artanis are coming to stay for a while with us so join us!!
Pokerwise, as most people know, ive been on some epic downswing recently which I honestly do feel is ONLY about 40% of the actual downswing content, after reviewing my play, understanding whats happening to me, I feel that I am playing worse than normal, I am overplaying hands and forcing situations to happen which is resulting is extremely -EV play therefore is hurting my longterm game. Over the past few days here, I have realized my problems and am in full flow of pluggin leaks and expanding my knowledge, understanding and general approach to the game and wish to keep this up over the time spent in Seoul. Watching poker videos, back and forth railing between myself and Jamie is obviously going to help my game a LOT and I am super thankful for his help and patience with me Not many people are as lucky as me to get such a sick friend =)
As you can see, I started the month in a rapid upswing and then coasted downnnnnnnnn until the month ended =( Like I said I do believe only 40% was actual downswing, running bad, I believe at least 30% was tilt, 20% forcing play and 10% complete dogshit poker.
The BIG difference between me now and me a few months back is that I couldn't handle running bad and refused to understand WHY it was happening and just constantly tilted/withdrew etc. I have overcome this and have been playing poker solidly from the start of May which is a huge improvement for me in terms of handling the game mentally. I will continue to improve my play/style/mentality and hope to see some large results from me over the summer!!
Speical thanks to Jamie (Midian), Roseeker, Silver, DoC.Lemon, Dahornnn, bbq, Oli, Artanis and Neilly for support throughout May, and any1 else i forgot to mention.
I'm free to choose who I see any old time I'm free to bring who I choose any old time Love me hold me love me hold me I'm free any old time to get what I want

So no more school for a couple of months, and no "real" school for a year or maybe a year and a half. Just made a new DB. Gonna play 100k hands of 2/4 and 3/6 before I go up and play 5/10 again. I've made a bit of money so far this year but I'm not sure how mcuh and it's not more then 2/3rds or so of what I wanted to make.
Right couple of minutes ago a I actually got superowned by a 2/4 reg too. Felt weird, lol.
Had a blast yesterday and even though my two oldest lawbuddiss couldn't make it to the party I'd like to say thanks to everyone who was there and made it a great night. Also, rednaluks statement just before he went home will go down as one of the greatest lines I've heard in a long while. Other then that the religious one bought a beer, asians are great but they've got shitty taste in guys, I need to work out and look more aggressive, The fat one and his brother are sort of fun to hang out with.
finally ran good today and had a sick cooler set up vs this guy 3buyins deep but instead i AM A FUCKING RETARD and misread the board and only won 1 buyin when i had the sickest sickest cooler on him
I had a fine day but this is just retarded, i feel like a complete retarded failure of life cuz i can't even read a board right
lol...
otherwise things are good, housemates 'n I been partying a lot etc
railed pooruser grinding online for like 2 hours which is rly good etc
maybe a real update l8r.. didn't sleep much. really tired.
Today I watched two instructional videos and then played second NL50 session on Betfair. My session wasn’t good again. I had one hard suck out and despite I was almost all session wining I finished -$32. I played 341 hands and my stats were better then yesterday, I had 21/16.
The biggest pot I lost was when player OTB pit sized openraised and I call on BB with pocket eights. Flop came 8J4 I checked and opponent (34/9) bet pot. I raised him 2.5-times his bet and he pushed his last $30. I called and he showed an overpair as I expected (QQ). But dealer had one of his classic brilliant moments and dealt Q on turn and I lost.
In my session I also two times lost aces. First time it was against BB who called my raise with J7s and caught trips on turn. Second time I check-fold my aces on turn but I’m not sure if bet-fold wasn’t better play then giving up this hand that easy. I have posted this hand here on liquidpoker, here is the link : http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/700455
In the evening I watched final table of EPT in San Remo Season 4. In four players Jason Mercier made great call when he was calling all-in bluff on the river with bottom pair. He has finally won the tournament.
lol poker this month has been shit. NL200 Started good as usual. then ran shit. So i cashed out and playing NL100 till i hit 4k again.
BUT BUT BUT
IM FINISHED WITH UNI LOL. Finished my thesis. WTF unbelievable. Need to do one mroe exam on 26th of June but its gonna be piss easy. So now im just going to wait and see what im going to get for my thesis and look for a job. Prob gonna graduate next semester.
so yeah. Not gonna do much. GOnna look for a job and play poker. GL HF!@!#!@
down 2.5 bi's or so today. ran bad in a few big 200b pots, and made two bad calls -_-;;
however still think im playing alot better than when i was a month ago. I still need to improve a tonne but this new style ive incorporated at nl100 is quite fun. Only problem is alot of the regs have started adjusting to me by tightening up and not making moves on me anymore =(.
feeling pretty confident still. wont have much time to play this weekend cause of a big hockey tournament , hope i dont lose it

2009 graph, since I returned to play in march, the downswing started at may 31, and since then, I didn't make not even one positive session, I'm running like shit and my confidence is gone, so I guess I'm playing bad too
around 29buyins down counting nl50 + nl25 in the last 13k hands
I tried to take 3 days off, but it didn't worked
I currently play nl50 at pokerstars, I tried to move down to nl25, but the same shit happened
and still have around 45bi to play nl50 in my bankroll
but I'm stucked for a looooong time ( like one year )between nl25 and nl50, maybe because I cashout every month, but I think I can't have a decent winrate at nl50, like 3BB+
I can't take too many days off, because I don't work and my only money comes from poker
what should I do ? I should move to an Euro site and play 76 tables and be a rakeback nit ? pay a coach ? kill myself ? quit poker ?
stop whining because 29 is standard ?
how does one make their redline not dip so low and actually make a profit off it?
i'm assuming it's most possible while playing 6max, but it seems weird because to win pots w/o showdown, you'd either have a tight image or just come into less pots and when you do you'd be going to showdown most of the time.
NL50 is kinda tilting me so far. At the start I had the feeling that everyone was just playing back at me and as a result of that I saw myself doing ridicolously stupid plays.
Started off going well this month but I'm not feeling really confident playing atm, even though I know the competition is a joke. And confidence seems to be so crucial for my game because whenever I play full of confidence and am really focused on the game I crush it, but I didn't feel like that today. Annoying..
Maybe its the bigger money that scares me but this is ridicolous because I used to play so much higher and I got a 40+ buyin br too.
Meh, I hopefully will get used to it and destroy it.
Today's session almost brought me down to the red numbers for the month though.
Gonna continue playing tomorrow, I will also try to rethink about my game, and try to make it better. Maybe going to cut down the tables to 8-6 or something also.
Im making a blog to keep track of my progress with pokerm I have been randomly playing every now and then for about 6 months now, and im rolled for nl10 so im playing 4 table SH ipoker. I got some free time for about two months so I plan to play as much as I can and move up on the limits ASAP.
Today I played my first serious session in a while which didnt go as well as I played but wasnt that bad either. Here is the graph.
Not much been going on lately, decided some time ago if I got over 3000e roll id relax, play heroes, sc, watch vods, series the days before Vegas, and I am!
I was also stupid enough to go out drinking here the other day, soooo stupid, cos I'm allergic to any sugar, so now stomach ache, uuu!!
Got sick hangover next day, puked nonstop, and felt sorry for myself all day, was in bed 16 hours as well, so couldn't sleep at night, and didn't fall asleep close to noon next day, so day rythm is fucked as well!!
Grrrr...
Tried some starcraft again, literally not played in 5 years, my god i suck lol
but fun nontheless, easier to appriciate the vods after having played some lol
Oh well, moving out in a few days, getting ready for Vegas, nervous and excited, eeek
