So I cashed out a bunch of money to buy a car last month and now I´m rebuilding at 100nl. BR a little over 5000$ atm. Will move back up to 200nl when I hit 8000$. I´m typing on a f.. up keyboard atm, cause I destroyed my usual keyboard on sunday, when I lost 10bi in like 2000hand. Really sick session.
pics of new car. I was gonna buy a Hyundai Santa Fe 2007, but the dude decided not to sell. So instead bought a Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2006 and glad I did. Roads are not to good here.
The F*cking retarded dumbass tilts his roll away..by MasterofLaw, May 20
Yup, that's about what happened yesterday and today during some short sessions...damn I hate poker...and I pretty much suck at it actually...lol.
Lost 5bi:s at NL20 then I got insane and lost 320E on other limits not even worth mention inhere..I started out in April with 575E on the BR...been grinding like a maniac and have withdrawn about 200-250e I think...now I have 150E left in the roll..lol but with my RB for this month I think I will have slightly below 500E again...
So it's back to some seeerious grinding nl20, still my mental status prevents me from climbing in levels. But I think i'm to much of an action-junkie and my problem is that I think it's to small money on NL20 but nevertheless hates to loose "real money" on poker which is a dilemma so i often play underrolled....
NOw i'll take a break for month which all in all have been an ok month a couple of bi:s plus on my regular level and my top score was when my br peaked at 1000e....Goal for next monnth will be 500->700 in poker and 700->1000 i rb.
Thats rigtht bitches, Lemon made 7,500 VPP in 20 days at NL25
Today I just wanted to get it over with, so I had a 18 tabling SH session to grind the last few hundred VPP.Obviously my AK got busted 4 times as usual and AA once+ I made some retarded spews in the morning (I shouldn't play in the morning no more when I play LAG ;o)) so my BR is at 1k now.
Platinum Star-> 80,000 Free VPP At the end of the month -> 10,000 VPP until Supernova after that.
One thing to say: Fuck you Pokerstars for making this promo. It forced me to mass table robot pokerz and my personal progress completely stalled. I did expect this when I started multitabling 20 days ago though.
Now I stick back to my original plan when I moved from NL5- 4Table LAG where possible with only occassional multitabling spells if the Doomswitch will be turned into off position although it doesn't seem like it just yet.
I got exams coming up tomorrow (Behavioral Issues in Finance) and Tuesday (Economics of Transition), after that Its all looking for a new flat, a Year internship job and of course some serious Pokerz which I will play practically full time until I find the job.
better session this time around unlike last time, I'm excited since I'll be done in school this week and If i keep playing like this i don't know where i would end up after summer (hopefully 3/6)

knew he had a 3 with the minraise (90/0 station), i thought he would call down trips but he got there too
I can't get unstuck tonight, down 706 dollars, played a shitload of hands got assraped and nothing really went well. I won 2200 the other day though, still way up on the month even though im only averaging like 1k hands a day this month which is really really shitty considering poker is my only source of income and i only play nl200. I want to play more but none of the regs will play shorthanded with me and all the tables just broke and i tried to play full ring and instantly threw up and left.
It breaks my heart into pieces when regs dodge me -- Especially when they mouth me and tell me how horrible i am. They insta leave at hu after i raise every hand for about 10 hands and on their last hand they 3b to try to recover losses and leave after the 3b hand. Happens every single time i swear. I usually just 4b with any2.
I haven't got to play much this month because ive been sick busy with getting my new house ready to live in, painting, buying shit, building shit, fixing shit. It's pretty fun really, I miss having a real job and this gives me that fix a bit. I dont wanna do it forever though but still, real jobs are pretty cool they just pay too terribly to consider when im making more money a month than 90% of the people who live in my community.
I want a girl in my life. I'm lonely romantically. I think i might deposit some money to stars or just sit and observe some tables and or look around and see if FTP is easier than cake where everyone is a reg. The fcking cake hand converter is broken too, i can't use PT anymore which also shatters my heart into pieces. DWI classes this weekend and i get my license back on the 4th of may!
I dunno want else to rant about i doubt any of you care, life is good!
Well my main goal was to get over $2k which I did for a while where i was at like $2100s. I took a mini shot at nl100 and did fairly well for a few hundred hands, then lost what I made in a couple more hundred, then stacked off in a pretty standard spot.

^ Just making sure, shove turn = best right? Obv if he raises me on the flop I get it in.
Anyway dropped $130ish or so at nl100 with my meager roll so I'm back to nl50 at like $1950 or so.
I seem to run extremely poorly on Mon-Tues generally. Kinda irritating but oh well. Nl50 is pretty sick easy at FR so whatev.

This guy donk bets the PFR 90 percent of the time. and his flop aggression was over 3.9 at 79% percent. Now at first when he donk bet i was like ok w/e i'm pretty sure i got the best hand so i'll raise see what he does. Then he RE raises. MY isntant reaction was to push all in but then i started to think to myself and was like would he do this with a10?! So the more i thougt about it the more i was worried he had me beat, but i couldn't help notice how aggresive he was on the flop and how often he donk bets the flop so i had to call in my eyes. Is it a bad play? This is what drives me nuts. Holdem manager made me call, but my instincts told me to fold.
Most important blog post ever. Please read.by Newblish, May 20
Right now i am sick to my stomach, i felt like i was going to die of an anxiety attack in the last 2 hours. Why? well... lets start it off this way - I thought to myself.. you know.. i know people have accused online poker of being rigged at times.. but well - perhaps it is true after all.. i mean.. how could what happened to me happen at all? My friends it makes no sense for what just happened to me to have happened... it was the worst gut feeling i have ever felt in my life - like i was helpless, i just could NOT win. but why? wtf was wrong? Well the answer is everything.
So it was a normal night where i decided to sit down and session it up again. I started off down a BI, 3 outtered for a $150 pot.. standard, happens all the time.. i moved on. So i grind my losses back.. lose the BI again to another bad beat.. again whatever.. push on like i always do. So at this point i was like: ok.. im going to bum hunt because i want my $$ back and i hate losing it the way i did. Ill get it back the cheap way : play only short stack donks.
So w/e i start it up, things are going ok, then along comes this guy : bailman1
He bought in for like 36.7, so i assumed he was a horrible donk with his entire BR or something. Well.. yup, it looked like i was right. He was opening every single hand to a random number between 2 and 25BB's on the button every single hand. Not only that, but his 3bet % was 50% over 274 hands. So i picked up on that fast and thought : ok easy match..
well... what the fuck did i know? not much i guess, FTP had a little something in store for me.
Now remember this guys : after this he had " $10 ! " Thats it, his stack was $10!!! So i was like : k good, game over i win. (if i could go back in time one time, this would be the time - i would have quit right there)
Or did I? within like 15 hands, he was back to 100, reraising left and right turning 2 pair, turning sets, turning top pair A, etc etc etc. I was like : ok FTP enough please... wtf are you doing this for?
QQ was the nuts 100% vs this guy too.. when he turned over his hand i could have sworn i was about to have a heart attack - it was literally to the point of overshock and i didnt know if i was dreaming or if this was supposed to happen to me.
This my friends made me want to stab myself.. how is that possible? And why did it have to happen to me? is there something i did to deserve that? (Anyone who thinks my shove is bad is an idiot because he was 100% calling even 27o here)
Anyway, being so stubborn i tell myself : THIS GUY IS DEAD MONEY, you WILL get it back, its impossible that you dont. Wrong...
Ok so - i challenge anyone on LP to show me that you run worse than this. I honestly do not think it is possible. Remember - this guy is like 95 VPIP and has 50% 3bet. I mean.. its literally impossible to get coolered so badly.. its practically as if its set up. In fact i honestly would be surprised if it wasnt.
Ill never ever get over this, not ever. I mean fine, give them a few bs suckouts here and there, but.. not this.. this is too much. I almost feel like asking FTP to explain themlseves after this, i mean.. its one thing to run bad, but its another thing to KNOW that youre going to lose when dealt QQ/KK or any fucking 2 cards youre dealt.
The challenge is up guys - has anyone seen worse than this? If so, enlighten my mood. I should have a 20k roll by now but instead its less than half of that.
Ah.. what the heck, im not even mad right now, im not even letting off steam.. im still in shock.. i do NOT believe what just happened.. and i never will.
and meh, feels like my most important blog, but im guessing the next one will be : Newblish got his account stolen by an unknown employee at FTP who claimed it was his account all along - or something like that.. you know.
Ok guys - peace out, this game is honestly a piece of shit.. but hey.. i still love it(for some reason)... and ill never give up.
ps. again - if anyone has EVER come across worse shit than this, im honestly all ears and you my friend(whoever you are have all of my sympathy and i feel terrible for you).
so after looking @ the tournament schedule on cake poker, i cannot see anything thats REALLY attractive. does anyone play tourneys there consistently and if so which tourneys do u play? preferably under 30 bux or so.
also i would like to possibly get a few hundred onto cake poker if possible if anyone can help me.
I started with $5 from pokerstars, and I've been grinding steadily ever since. My first post here featured an $11 bankroll and a risk of ruin of 7%, and some very good advice on how I should continue playing. Finally, about 10k hands later, I have my bankroll over $40 and I am officially rolled for playing NL2. This hand played a crucial role in getting to this point:

So, it's about 15k hands since I started. I'm satisfied with what I have achieved so far. Now it's like making a new start. I just deposited $40, this is my first time at NL2. I am a total fish, haven't played a single hand of real money. This is the mindset I will be going into the future with. Up until now, I have not been making any reads at all, I'm just looking at my cards and the board and betting exactly how strong I think my hand is. My opponents, making tons of moves at the wrong times, and screwing up even this basic, elementary strategy, have been donating their money to me without much of a fight.
Looking to the future, to wanting to be a winner at the higher stakes, I realize that I cannot keep this up. I have to start paying attention to things. I have to start thinking about hand ranges, about betsizing, about thin value and reverse implied odds. I have to stop playing like a robot and I have to start to think. With this new start I will completely alter the way I'm playing the game. I will still play the same, basic ABC poker but instead of looking at the cashier every session and feeling good about upswings and bad about downswings, I will start to look at my decision process and see if I can bring some order into the chaos.
First off, I will be playing half the tables (eight to four) and I will be chanting out loud the basis for every decision.
Furthermore, I will be saying out loud my opponent's hand range before every river call or bet, and see what he shows up with.
my mom will go to some teaching of this orgnaisation.
She is allready pretty fucked up concerning her beliefes
She thinks she has magic powers given from jesus > the ones David Blane has >-<
She also thinks that every good on earth directly is from Jesus and every bad directly from Satan T_T
she is pretty crazy
However i am afraid a bit it will go on a new Level.
I have no clue about this orgnaisation and what they are doing.
Just would not be happy if some day i find out my mother commited suicide to serve as fuel for the spacship of God that he can arrive faster at earth ...
Hey guys I was just wondering whether Full Tilt Poker has something like a "Bad Beat Bonus" like when 2 players go against each other and have monster hands and the casino pays off the winner and loser and the rest of the players involved in the hand. This was the hand:

Is 500/1000$ poker just a commercial set up?by MasterofLaw, May 19
Have been watching Ziig vs Gus today playing PLO 500/1000$...Then some thoughts struck me.How come all highstakes players suddenly have changed to a lot more swingy game than NLHE if they want to make big money? I'm sure these guys would totally crush at a bit lower limits and even there make a great fortune. HOw come they have to play up there and by necessity PLO? Also in the chat today Gus talked about Ziiggy being staked and he was pretty frequent in the chat talking to railbirds. What about the concept that good players don't pay attention to the chat? That factor, at least in my world, points in the direction that the whole of it is just a big commercial set up, like they getting paid per session or hourly to play fun-money up there...It's like 3bet each pf,call, potbet,raise,allin call each and every hand...that's not so frequent on like 25/50 what I've seen...
Anyone got some ideas to straighten my conspiracy thoughts out?
Wasted so much time on BW, tryin hard to quit and play as little as possible, the worst thing is when when I dont play BW I watch vods on youtube! T.T. Kerigen give me strenght to quit. If i play poker in my life as much as I played bw I am goin to make billions!!!!
Just moved money to Stars, gonna be playing a bit more there now.
I have 16 hrs community service to do within the next week, as well as paying off ~500$ in fees and such to hopefully get my license back on the 28th. fml
Things with that from the previous blog are going insanely well, and i couldnt be happier, despite her living 6 hrs away. Once I get the license back ill start visiting her which will be nice
graph confusing me red/blue lines n stuffby dahornnn, May 19
After playin a bit last few days i ran good and played well in spots spewed a bit std but after reading peoples blogs etc it seemed to occur i never really checked my graphs etc out as much as maybe i should?
So i have seen people puttin up their graphs with their thoughts analysis and what not but i could use some advice on the graph, is my red line standard for nl10 or does it show some underlying spewleakage????? or does it explain some other mysterious factor about my game i just can't see? http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/ca77896c3602925d18ada6f77b4ef441.png
Comments/thoughts etc as always are appreciated!!
