Remmember87 is often the voice of reason in our group. Natrually this makes him unpopular. A couple of weeks ago he said something along the lines of me probably getting my ass kicked by 5/10 regs HU. I obviously, in a somewhat drunken state, didn't admit this. So now when I'm having my monthly "beginning of the month getting fucked in the ass by variance"-thingy I decided to just sit on all 5/10 HU tables. Results was as follows:
I fucking hate HU regs. As most I think I had 8 tables with regs sitting out (I just sat at everything) and two with me sitting alone before "justtransfer" got sick of me and gave me action. This is just sick considering the fact that it's a saturday night.
In other news I need to stop shoving flushdraws/random crap into sets on the turn slightly deep all the time. It's apperently not a winning strategy.
Okay, to play upon the NL10 my full tilt account was not smart, should probably follow BRM at low levels as some people said. I broked down to $ 6 the day before yesterday.
Today as I thought there was not an idea to save them $ 6 for the account, so I started 5st SNG tournaments. Won one and came second in one, and it was 45mans so now my bonus-bankroll is $ 28.80 instead.
Maybe I am a tournament player instead of cashgame? Well, I will try it again.
hi yall. can i get some feedback on my production? ie the mix, everything clear etc.
plz don't rate the actual song. well ya can if ya want but that's not what im asking for
just a short 50 second clip (incomplete song)
NOTE: i know it's quiet. volume comes up during mastering.
NOTE 2: since this post I've edited the guitar fuzz off the intro (just before the staccato hits come in) and turned the drums down slightly.
The last couple of days I have been out so much I havnt had time to write a update. Its been "valborg" so every student in uppsala goes nuts and party a lot the wheaters been excellent too so now I´m a small scrimp
As for poker and april its been pretty bad in everyway. I dont know why, but I played less then 3000 hands (which is kind of a new record for me). The last day I also tilted a bit (and played bad and so on) so I lost a lot and therefor ended april down 4BI (800$, only played NL200).
I dont know how poker goes in May. I hope I can find time to play but Im not shure at all. I guess I have to make time for it if I shall have the slightest chance of going to vegas this summer.
Things that can ruin poker in May:
First of all Im going to play in a musical called "Christina von Duvemåla".. its gonna be like 4-5 concerts in the middle of May and I guess it will take some time since the first rehearsal is in next week so its pretty close to the actual concerts..
Here is my favourite song from the musical:
Im really looking forward to this!
Second I have to study alot for the exam in the beginning of june. Have been pretty lazy this semester...
Third: The wheather is always nice in May which is never good for the motivation...
Guess I have to move in at Dustys so he can motivate me to play more I am alreay longing for next semester where I am taking a break from law school to study some economy courses and finally get in a lot of hands
wanted to ask: do you think it's useful or worth having a 3 monitor setup? have 2 monitors at the moment and i use the alternative one a lot more than i thought i would. which makes me wonder if 3 would be even better, but at the same time it could be a waste of money/desk space. input from anyone with 3 monitors would be appreciated.
(i'd only use the other monitors for other stuff like browsing and general use, not using them to play poker)
also wrote my own song in a program called FL studio, same thing i used to attempt a remix in my last blog post. but its kinda shitty at the moment, will probably upload it once i make it sound better
My current system was build in July 2005 and therefore is almost 4 years old.
Athlon XP 3000+
1GB ram DDR 333
Geforce 7600GT 256mb ( did upgrade in 2007 from the original radeon9800pro)
80GB Seagate IDE + 250GB USB HDD
Asus Mainboard
Asus Tower 360w power supply
So i can run
FTPoker 12 tables + HEM on it without problems
Starcraft without problems
UT 2004 with 120fps average in 1650x1050 4x AA highest details
I dont have time for nerding single player games anyway since i have University+Poker+MMA
So my new PC shall meet the following requirements
Can play Starcraft 2
Can play some nice Multiplayer Shooter for eaz fragging when i dont feel like playing Poker or doing MMA
Can play FTP 12 tables + Hem smoothly.
This is the system i favour right now
Core 2 Duo E7400, 2x2.8Ghz,
4096 MB DDR2 800,
500GB SATA
Asus Mainboard
Thermalke Soprano Tower + 550w Be quiet power supply
Geforce 260GTX 896mb 216s
Vista 64bit ( I was told its necessary to have 64 bit windows since 32bit Versions only supply full use of ~ 3500 ram ?)
This all together would cost me 704€ ( 620€ the computer + 84€ the Windows Vista64 premium)+ no shipping fee
Havent found anything better for 620€ so far.
Pokerwise = havent played the last 10 days or so
fuck university >-<
Okay so I figured I would post this first in my blog to see if I get any kind of decent response since I don't want to clutter the "main poker" threads unnecessarily if I don't have to...
I've thought a lot lately about what I want to do with my life, I considered travelling the world for a while, only to think about it and realize how much I hate traveling. Might be second to walking into oncoming traffic. I thought about going back to San Diego, but I have a bit of a troubled past there and think I want to just get away from it. So my best friend asked me to move back home (the east bay area) where we grew up to achieve basketball coaching greatness.
So my number one priority for a place to live is going to be one where I will meet a lot of people my age, specifically females, obv, and to be in this area close to where we will be coaching. What I'm looking for is if anyone here is from the east bay, and knows specifically the Walnut Creek/Concord/Pleasant Hill area, I'm hoping someone might know where the spots are to be for someone in their mid twenties.
I have a flight booked on the 8th to head up there and apartment hunt, but I have no idea where I should be looking other than a vague understanding that downtown WC might be a good spot.
Normally I don't post on LP. I started online poker on Cake Poker and soon realized I should get as far away as possible from that site and their software. I re-deposited on PS and had a great run at the beginning in NL10. Soon, the BR started to drop when the cards went sour so I decided to drop the stakes and play it slow and small so I wouldn't cripple the BR. After hitting a rocky start things started to turn around. As you can see, in only a few short hands the game didn't so bad. Hopefully this is only a glimpse of what is to come.
MMMMMMMMMM yea april didnt end so well. i started off quickly getting $2000 in my bankroll so i took a shot at 100nl. that didnt go so badly. through the 5.5k hands there i swung between -2 bi to +3 bi. i never completely moved to 100nl though, usually played it with a mix of 50nl and towards the middle of the month i stopped playing it due to a loss of confidence in my game. i think i should be able to beat 100nl, it doesnt seem too different from 50nl, aside from a little bit more preflop aggressiveness (3betting and squeezeing). im not quite used to the money though.
again my volume was lacking. just not putting in enough hands during school, but ill be done with school on the 16th this month so ill be looking to put in at least 20 hours per week during the summer since im not doing anything else productive. i also need to start reviewing my sessions more. HEM's hand marking feature is great and i havent been using it as much as i should with trouble hands.
on a last note, what do you think about my stats? its a little bit tight for 6 max i know, im still trying to open up some (i played 15/13 or so at 25nl). am i folding to 3bets too often? i havent adjusted all that well to the increased 3betting at these 2 limits.
gonna keep grinding, kinda annoyed, not really focused on winning money but making the right decision on each hand, guess its only 10k hands of downswinging, still really annoying.
this rant could be extremely long and pissy, bottom line comes down to i'm 75-95% almost everytime last 3 days and just keep getting shit on, on the river =[
I had a pretty solid day at the tables today. Always nice to start the month off with a win. I played a lot of full rign today and it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part and didnt end up in many tricky spots. I played about 3k hands and made $54. ID say 80% NL10 and 20% NL25. The NL25 games are terrible on UltimateBet and theres never anymore then like 9 tables going which sucks cock because they always have a fucking waiting list. So I settle for the NL10 fish which are always plentyful so I guess its not so bad.
At one point in the day the there was no real good tables going on and the wait lists were huge so I decided to play a bit of HU. Ive had some decent results at HU. It would be interesting to see my graph lifetime heads up. Im pretty sure Im in the green by a lot. But anyways I got a decent fish to play against and things were going pretty good. and I was making SICK calls on this guy. He was stabbing at pots all the time and I looked him up a few times and was right. Then we played one big hand where he rivered a full house on me and he was pretty much even. I wanna say It was a good call in its own way becasue he 2 outted me on the river but he had the best hand so I guess it was a bad call?. I think 99% of the time vs that guy Im good there. But yea... Bum hunting at HU is probably the most profitable poker game I think so Im going to be looking to play a bit more here and there but my main focus of course will be full ring.
Very happy with toady and the last few days obviously. I played a tournament today and did pretty well too. There was 400 ppl in it and I came 25th for a whopping $20. SHIP IT! lol. I ended up getting it all in with AK, buddy with a monster stack called me with K10, Flop K104 GG. Woulda played it the same way so cant complain there either.
Tonight Im going to a kegger that a buddy of mine from class is holding. Should be pretty good. Hopefully I can meet some new people and maybe wheel a brod or something ahaha. Im probably going to end up going to meet with some of my buddies at a bar or something but Ill be pre drinking at the kegger lol. Hopefully its sick and then I dont have to go to the bar and spend money lol.
Anyways Im gonna go get ready for tonight.
Cheers guys,
Got back from uppsala today after celebrating "valborg" with some friends in uppsala. Valborg is basicly a holiday that is celebrated hard core in uppsala since its a huge student city and it revolves around 40k students getting shitfaced in several diffrent ways for like two days. Its pretty fucking crazy, i didnt bring my camera but I might upload some images later if I can get my hands on a friends pictures.
It was a real blast and the weather was fucking awesome so I really enjoyed myself. So after two days of heavy drinking im sound asleep and all of a sudden im crudely awoken by a fucking bumblebee stinging me in my hand, it actually fucking hurt! I feel like such a wuss because the bumblebee is like the most pussy sounding animal in the entire insect kingdom. This was 14 hours ago and my hand is still swollen and it still hurts. What the fuck, it was a fucking bumblebee!? Anyways, I naturally beat the crap out the little fucker with a newspaper so its all good.
As for me quiting poker I have to admit I have been cheating a little bit. Ive mostly been dabbling around with some sattelites to the wsop as I really wanna play that this summer. No sucess so far though.
Owell, spring is here, hot girls are everywhere and its looking to be a really fucking great summer so life is good.
