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:

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 ...

Anyone knows that Orgnaisation ?

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:

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?

I had a blog on another site that i rarely updated and really feel like blogging more so i thought this would be a great site to start new.

Quick cliffnotes of my poker history

Started with $150 on UB

Bounced around alot of diffrent sites for diffrent reasons.

Won a $4 180 man sng for $216

Won the $2 128 man HU winner take all on pokerstars TWICE for $250 a piece.

Won a $1 rebuy on UB for $1100 (My luckbox friend had a quarter of my action so i had to send him $275)that i was only in for $1 and acouple hundred ultimate points.

and just recently i won a $2 1 rebuy 1 addon tournament on fulltilt for $480

Right now my BR is at ~$1400 i've been playing alot of holdem both limit and no limit and winning pretty well in both im up alittle over $200 this month in cash games (most of which happened in the last couple days). im down like $50 in tournaments this month though but oh well just have to keep grinding cash games. im hoping to start moving up to $50nl soon so if any other micro-low stakes players wanna talk poker or anything else pm me with your AIM or MSN. Cant wait to see how poker goes the next couple weeks im pretty excited.

gl everyone

So i'm grinding on, up 2-3bi:s for the month and like 16bi:s on rb...However I made a slight withdrawal a couple a days a ago to finance some upcoming events and to try Svenskspel out again. Deposited 200bb and played hu,took 15min before I raised with A4 and hit A42 with fd and gut crushed vs 53...so no more SvenskaSpel again for a while. However yesterday I made a successful comeback in the world of MTT. Decided to play a cheap 2€ rebuy 200€gtd tourney. Made one addon during the first periods and then I was in the lead until the FT. There I made a juicy chiplead with my A4 crushing my opponents and the former chipleads A3. However the hand after I went into the new nr 2:s slowrolled AA on BB when I was SB and I did hit tp so we came all in on turn..lol. Finished in 3rd place out of 109 which I consider pretty ok since I don't do MTT on a regular basis or at all. Was rewarded 56€ for the convenience....

Today I have to hand in a memorandum to one of my bosses so right now I've had an extensive 12min lunch, "kebab and fries". Very nice and greasy..lol. Tomorrow however is a "half-day" so you're allowed to go home 14 if nothing comes up. Then thursday is a holiday thanks to jesus deciding to fly to heaven like 2k yrs ago and us swedes deciding to celebrate that or something in that way..ty jesus.Friday I've have vaccation and Saturday will be hell of a day and night. Me and some friends going to a big ball very you dress like a pinguin in tail coat. The pre-pre-party start 14,pre-party starts at 16 , the dinner at 18, the main party at 22-23, tha after party 04 and the breakfast at 09. It will be a sick long night...

Over and out

Really happy with all the good content I'm finding, was really encouraged by the protege series on Bluefire, so I looked through all the other sites as well.

I heard people recommended Vital myth's leak finding ones, so I watched that this morning and I decided to take notes of all the most important stuff.

Gonna copy paste



(Comments/notes to Vital Myth's Leak finder vod on CArdrunners, saw it had gotten a lot of great review, so watching it now. It's 50nl 6max 4 tabling)

- Starts with, in general, people need to start playing more hands
- We play a lot of Axs
- also hands like QJs gonna fair pretty well (people usually don't do to well vs it, you gonna win on a lot of A high, or K high flops) and J and Q flops u have showdown value and you can flop a lot of draws n stuff to
- Squeeze!! (he thinks there's a lot of oppertunities people don't capatalize on) Also say that most ppl squeeze with to big bets, rather make it a bit smaller
- Call IP vs nits!! (almost with any two, 35s, T8 blabla)
- Reason ppl dun get good notes, reads, see good squeeze oppertunities is because they play to many tables! Suggests 4-5 tables. People spent over a year same stakes because "it's not fast enough, they get bored" and don't take the time to just think and play better
- Bet smaller and less frequently (most ppl just play their own card, and dun care how you bet) People don't bluff and hero call as much as you think they do. He feels people bet to large, too hard when they got the board crushed.
- Induce bluff ?? (If we think our oponent is not capable of making bluffs, we wanna bet smaller) Try very hard to induce those 1 barrel bluffs ppl love to do
- Big confusion-spews! Regulars in particular, only spew when you do lines that makes no sense, or when they tilt
- 3/4 into the movie he comes with a bold statement!! 90% of poker is making read. And a discussion about how it might seem he contradicted another cardrunner pro who keeps pestering about betting larger, and he's been talking some about betting smaller, checking, but that's in certain situations, vs certain ppl, and same goes for the betting larger!!
- Recommends 3 betting more in position Arag, KJs, QTs so forth, if it's vs nits, maybe not so much, rather stay away cos they playing premium hands and it can get ugly. If you have read people play a lot of hands, then kinda gives up more, passive or a bit weak, perfect spots as well (Good mentality, as long as it keeps working, he keeps doing it, once it stop working he tends to back off a littlebit)
- Whenever you think there's dead money, attack it, try steal it (Take them small pots) (One of the most common mistakes ppl do)



Oh, that's about it, now I think I need to rest, wait 10 minuts before I do anything else poker related!
I once read in a Tony Buzan book that when you get a lot of information in ur head, it may be clutterd, confusing and not make that much sense right after having gotten it, but if you wait 5-10 minuts your brain makes sense of all the chaos and you have it more aligned up or something!

Oh, and then I think you were suppose to go through ur notes. So gonna do that, wuhu!!


**** UPDATE ****

Ah, had a little under 2 hour session, started out okay. Then I think I started to run bad.

One hand I flopped a set, guy bet, flop something like 23J I just called, turn another J, he bet again, a flush draw came on the table, so I raise it up, we go all in, he has J4o, river 4, so just a cooler.

Then I got my pokertracker working on a new site I switched to.

These 3 hands were pretty big losses for me:

So I started Day 1B of the 500k Deepstack at Borgata today at 11am, and ended up playing until about 10pm before going busto =[

I had been really cold-decked the entire day, with a lot of big moves on some decent combo draws always missing and a complete lack of any real starting hands to play for about the first 8 hours. The first sign of hope was when I doubled up to about 30BB the hand before the dinner break with AKs shoving over a few limpers and winning a flip against 77. After that I still ran pretty cold, but managed to keep my stack up winning pots without showdowns.

In the end I had about 24k @ 500/1000/100 and raised ATss to 2500 in the CO. Just the BB called, and flop came 929ss. He checks I bet 4k and he snapcalls. Now I'm pretty sure he is on a FD and he MIGHT sometimes have a small PP here. Turn is a 4c and he shoves me in for 17.4k into like 14.5k. I end up calling because I don't want to fold and leave myself to start day 2 with like 10BB, then drive an hour there and back to AC just to shove every hand pre until I bust, and besides I already think I'm ahead a lot of the time anyway. He ends up showing 34ss and holds =[. After that I hung around to watch the table for a bit before finding a 1/2 PLO game, in which I won $390 back in about an hour before going home XD.

Even though I busted, I'm now pretty confident in my play. I managed to last almost the entire day and start day 2 with almost 20BB despite getting verrrrrry few playable hands, and only had to get my stack in once to do it. My reads were also spot on the entire day, and every time I guessed what people had in big hands I was right every time it got to showdown (or was shown down, in some cases). I'm sure if I could ever just get a big hand in a tourney like this while still having a decent stack then I can really do some damage if I keep playing as well as I think I am.

Oh and I got to meet Ari "Bodog Ari" Engel, too. He was in the seat to my left for about the last 8 hours of the day, and he's a pretty cool guy and a REALLY solid player. It was fun watching him play, and I think I learned a little bit from it as well. He was one of the more pleasant table mates...there was this other douchebag who called the clock on me 4 FUCKING TIMES without me tanking for more than a minute before calling the floor. By the third time both Ari and I were kind of verbally annoyed and wondered wtf he was doing. Then he yelled at the dealer for dealing him some stupid cheap bad beat like it was her fault and he stormed out of the poker room for like 15 minutes lol.

<3 teh deepstacked live pokers. Can't wait for WSOP!

GL all,
-Joe

has to do with original concessions skew model and Hamilton's rule.

S - pG < r[(1-p)G-L] ---- model

P = [s-r(G-L)]/[G(1-r)] ------ staying incentive

L = Lone dominant productivity
G = Group Productivity
p = Subordinate Share
S = Lone subordinate productivity

The Problem

#1 (I have solved this)

The concessions model of reproductive skew assumes that a dominant female will yield a minimum share (p) of group offspring (G) so that the inclusive fitness of a subordinate female that stays is just equal to the inclusive fitness of a subordinate female that leaves. Let's assume that when the subordinate female leaves she produces (S) offspring and the dominant produces (L) offspring.

When S = 2L and G = 5L what share (p) of group offspring will the dominant have to yield to the subordinate to keep her from leaving? Assume that these two females are diploid mammals that are also half sisters (relatedness = .25)

p = 2L-.25(5L-L) / 5L (1-.25)

p = .266

----------

Problem 2 (having trouble)

Now assume (for the same values of S = 2L and G = 5L) that the dominant has lost her ability to control reproduction such that the subordinate can take as much reproduction (p) as she desires. Solve for the maximum value of p that will be tolerated by the dominant before she kicks out the subordinate (i.e. the inclusive fitness of the lone dominant is equal to keeping the subordinate in the group).


- I am having trouble reworking the equation to solve for this if that is even what I am supposed to do. I don't know how to tie in the inclusive fitness of the lone dominant
