It happened to me again.... Dunno why but Stars have reset all my settings.
Maybe I used Icon from Programs instead of Start Shortcut Menu I dunno...
I log on and all settings including my saved login details are gone, all settings to default and I have to change even themes.
So I try to put everything back and set it, Theme, auto rebuy Tourney pop-up blocked..
GUESS WHICH FEATURE I forgot to tick when My Settings got resseted at Pokerstars

Once he re raises all in i was pretty sure i was crushed or he had like AK with the king of clubs. That's really the best i could hope for. Maybe he floped a flush and i'm drawing live, but i really tought he either had AK with a redraw or a set. Let me know what u guys think. Is it really possible to get away from this? I figure i donk bet it maybe he's got an ace. Then once he raised i thought maybe big ace with redraw. But then once he moved all in i was pretty sure i was beat i had so much in there too after he did that.. Even if u think he's got a flush do i have odds to call with my set? His numbers really pretty normal. Like 24/10 and agression on flop was only like 1.0 or w/e it was. I was like fuck..
So...after quitting/getting tired of grinding NL2and NL5 and tilting away my small bankroll....I'm trying to rebuild it with dollar 45 man sit-n-gos....theres just a big pond of fish in them.....i just run bad...in the last 22...i've final tabled in 11....and 5 places cash....and I haven't cashed in any...im life tilting hard....AK is no longer better than AJ apparently....unless someone else has AK and i have JJ or QQ...then they are favored...just venting...yeah...
I'm sure many of you are wondering what that word actually means. I myself was curious and being the luckbox I am I had the awesome opportunity to learn on Monday. The day started off well, went to work did that whole thing and then around 2pm things started going more poorly at a very rapid rate. I get a call from my manager requesting a meeting(*note at this point I know I'm getting shit canned). In the meeting they don't use the word fired or laid off, no my friends I was "excessed". Apparently it's the new rage, still fucking sucks regardless. Awesome economy strikes again, on the upside I got some relevant work experience and my boss and the director are going to write me letters of recommendation. There was four of us that ended up getting "excessed" in the department and probalby 50-100 company wide. The only part that is really irritating is it was based 100% off senority and 0% off performance. There is one person in particular who is utterly worthless and everyone knows it including the manager. The women's on a work plan which basically means if she does not improve she's getting fired in 3 months, but since she's been there longer she still has a job. Now I can follow my true dream of being a 25nl grinder that has very little ambition to play mass hands......LOL yeah I think this will work out nicely.
Goodbye profits, hello breakeven.by d.Apollo, May 20
So ermmm yer, downswing is gut. Save to say ive basically lost the majority of my profits this month and almost breakeven apart from fpps/vpps, guess I should be happy iam from UK and get this VPP promotion, sigh. Still rolled for 25nl, going to take break then try and continue to fight on. Sinking feeling but its pretty standard for most people =/
I lost $400 in 50nl (shots at different times of the month) so I am still technically a winner at 25nl, just on a downswinging player.
My sessions have been really short ones recently because the setups are getting annoying =/ So as soon I start to feel tilted annoyed I just end session.
So I cashed out a bunch of money to buy a car last month and now I´m rebuilding at 100nl. BR a little over 5000$ 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.
