Currently rebuilding... going very good I'm in 14+ table robot mode on NL5 and if I continue doing this a few days I should have a semi solid roll for NL25 again. Hope I can run good 1 time there then. Also when my friend gives me back my money I will deposit that on my poker acc, even though I have a strict rule of never depositing my own money and I never did it in my entire life so far, but I gave him the money on PS and thats why I can cash it in again as soon as I receive it.
Won't cashout a shit during the next few months either.
Listening to Asher Roth's recent album, and I gotta say, I am impressed. Pretty under-rated. It has got some real nice tunes on there. After busting out of a live tourney near the bubble a couple weeks ago, I heard a tune of the album on a late night radio show as I drove home. Not had internet access for 6 weeks, and I am now online today, I have been able to get myself a copy of the album.
I know there are some Kid Cudi fans on these forums, and well, check Asher Roth's album out (thread title).
Ugh I was tilting so ridiculously easily yesterday and I spewed and I dunno wtf I sux. My emotional control is all out of whack, maybe I'm on my man-period.
Seriously though I've been really impatient the last couple of days at the table and have been getting tilty/whiney and that isn't how I like to do things. Gotta stop that crapz
I've felt like I've been running really bad this month and everyday has been an incredible struggle to break even or turn a profit, maybe that's just built up on me and whatever. I dunno. I just know I can't allow myself to spew blah!
Finished 2 / 4 exams so far, and iv been rather dissapointed by my own performance. Been studying a lot, stopping all my usual partying, gym and other random activity's. Spent up to 10 hours at school everyday, just reading and doing tasks. But still when the exams have come up, iv performed really lousy.
First one was an oral exam, and i just drew some really bad topics. And whenever i actually hit some spots i could talk about, it seemed like the teacher was more interested in something else. An example was routing, were i was gonna fire up some talk about Dijkstra algorithm (just bear with me, if you got no clue what i am talking about) and he just went like: "Oh, i am sure you already know Dijkstra, can't you tell me something more about "insert topic here".
Next one was a written exam for Signal treatment, and id been killing the practice tasks all day long. Finishing up old exams and stuff fairly well. Like the 08 exam, the two first tasks was for 70% of the total score and i could do it perfectly. Leaving me for a minimum of a decent C. But with the exam we got, i was messing around even at the first task. It was the same kind of tasks, but all the numbers and equations were a lot harder. And without a calculator (no help allowed) it was a mess right of the bat, and it kinda shock my confidence. No grades for awhile, but i am pretty sure that didn't go to well either.
Only one week left now, and two more exams. Got one on Tuesday and another on Thursday. Hopefully ill manage to do better inn these, like having a good draw on the last one for another oral presentation. After this i plan on finally going out and drinking some again with my friends, been skipping a few good party's lately. Last weekend was my birthday, and i spent the entire Saturday inside studying for my exams!
Other than that, seems like i won't be getting my normal job this summer. Seeing as they don't need anyone extra this year, maybe just a couple of weeks to rotate vacations around among some of the guys. I am planing on getting my ass started on some poker again, and ill be trying to play 1000 SnG's asap after i am done with school. Hopefully ill be able to manage a 5% ROI on the games i play (20$ SnG's) and make around 2k (RB included) real fast so i can boost up my roll again and play some different games. Wanna be able to play 50 and 100NL 6-max / HU and also 20-50$ SnG's.
Don't think i am gonna put a time frame on myself for this, seeing as iv got some catching up to do with party's and friends. Plus iv got a girl i really enjoy spending time with now day's. But i figure i should be able to do it in a month, 33 SnG's per day. Probably nothing to most grinders around here, but iv got issues with sitting on the computer to much. It bores me to death.... With this amount, i should be able to keep up, even if i go away or can't play a couple of day's during a month which eventually is gonna happen.
I also wanna go visit Kalle again this summer, as i had a lot of fun with him last time. He said i should come for a week or something to Bergen, and we could grind out some hands and also enjoy summer. So that's something ill definitively do even though i am pretty broke right now.
Well gonna finish up this wall of text now, get myself in the shower and wait for my visitor! We are gonna make some lasagna, and just enjoy the weekend.
Longest Session + Biggest Potby LilDeano89, May 09
Just played my longest session ever, 4 hours straight!
Also, i won my biggest pot ever, both in BBs and $ (90% of the money went in on the river btw, I didnt suck out!)
95 MR2 NA. Well not really new. Bought it on Craigslist used with 36k miles from previous owner and a salvage title from front fender crash but repaired. Its a work in progress meaning im gonna continually be adding stuff to it to make it look nice. Just ordered ROTA D2 wheels +700 bucks. will be putting them on when they come http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w176/smokedyou/car017-1.jpg
May has just been a disaster so far. To be fair, I can't complain that much given how good I was running prior months, but 5/10 has been my dream stakes since the day I started playing, and I'm down like 6.5k this month there in like 2k hands. Yeah yeah sample size blah blah but it's not like I'm a 5/10 reg, I take like shots at 1 or 2 tables when they're soft, so it feels like a "lot" to me
So...a pretty big hole I've dug myself here. I think I'm going to stop with the 5/10 shots for a WHILE, stick with 2/4 and MAYBE some 3/6 shots (where I'm doing pretty well actually). Maybe even grind 1/2 again during off hours. It's going to take a lot of grinding to dig myself out of this one, GL to me.
OMFG what a sick short session I just played. Nothing worked. Straight vs runner runner flushes, straights vs higher gutshotstraight, set vs set, overpair vs runner runner flushes, set vs runner runner straight and so on...
I blame all on Jocke, my friend who came over tonight from Uppsala to play a shitload of poker with me. Shitload was an hour for me, now I quit for the day..lool!
Hate when poker is like this...back to start for the month almost, but have some RB to rely on atlest..lool.
borrowed a friend 350$(he lost it all, now he has to pay me back in real life,) after i cashed out majority of my roll + running bad once again on nl25 got my bankroll down to 200$ lol. now i have to grind nl 5.
feels so crappy to be back again where i started in february. but its all my own fault.
i need to get a fucking job so i can fucking quit cashing out and get somewhere. sooooooo dissapointing though, i can only run bad on NL25 its like this shit is cursed, and yes i know how soft this limit is supposed to be.
Someone point me in a direction......by PowerHausAA, May 08
It's kind of sad to put all my stuff up on craigslist right now. I'm excited/scared/anxious/nervous/happy/sad every emotion i can possibly feel right now. I've been living in NY for over 15 years and just to pick up and move to Vegas and not know anyone or even have a place at the moment. I'm planning to sell/throw out everything and have laptop and one luggage to my name when i go there. I just feel that if i stay in new york my poker career will go no where. My online career is been a success to this point in my opinion but the thought of just doing this over and over was eating me up inside. What will change when i move to vegas........maybe nothing maybe everything, but all i know right now is that i have to take a step in any direction. You could say that this takes a lot of balls but in my opinion it takes more balls to not do anything.
Anyhow, as most my friends do not understand my lifestyle i thought id just vent/holler in cyberworld and for this i thank everyone here.
I actually forgot that the topic was "Someone point me in a direction......" if anyone could point me a direction to live or possibly room together in vegas thatd be greatly appreciated.
I'm glad I came out here and am staying with myth. I frequently randomly ask him various poker questions and he teaches me so many useful things.
Like today. The internet in the apartment was taking a shit, and it got me thinking about how the internet randomly quits out on you during important hands in online poker.
Me: [revelation]You know, live poker mis-deals are like when the internet goes out while you're playing online!
Myth: Totally, its like when you have Aces and a 7 comes on the flop.
Me: You're right! Aren't 7's like the 2nd most commonly dealt pocket pair?
Myth: Common misconception-- they are actually the 3rd most.
Me: Ohhhh.. That's because someone at the table always has 72o [atleast, someone always has to complain about 72o as they muck preflop], so its less likely that 77 is dealt, right?
Myth: Incorrect.
Me: ?
Myth: Sometimes, poker seems counter-intuitive. Just stick with me and you'll learn a lot!
Then the internet came back!
Other than that, I saw the Wolverine movie today and enjoyed it a lot.
Pokerwise my goal is 10k for the month and I haven't played as much as I ought to for various reasons. I'm at 1.8k so far, so I'm almost 1k behind pace for 10k. I have been really experimenting with some play styles and in other spots have made some REALLY horrendous spews. I feel comfortable experimenting a lot (mostly being really laggy and messing around with a LOT of different turn lines), but I really need to stop a couple of really spewy calls and a couple of bluffs I've made. Luckily I knew they were fucking horrendous calls/or bluffs, I just have to follow through with the fold or whatever.
Thinking of that sort of brought a thought to my head earlier, and that was simply that the discipline to fold or to give up in certains spots was something I think I had conquered a lot better online. It is just something I need to reestablish my dominion over in live poker.. its cropped up again because live poker moves so much more slowly is all~
Well when I wake up its going to be Friday and I don't think anything interesting is happening this weekend, so I am going to try to put in 40 hours from Friday-Sunday. Hopefully it works out and I run good. I might let myself do like 30 hours if I go out on one of the nights or if I run sick good and have to quit before I winner-tilt half of it away. Anyway, hopefully I will have a monster weekend and I'll catch up to pace, since that is when most of the money is won anyway.
