So I have focused on playing cash games recently and dropped down to play NL200. Since I live off my winnings, I increased bankroll requirements to reflect that, even if I have a big losing week, I still might need to withdraw money. So from now on, I want at least 70 buyins for a given limit (so $28k for NL400 say). Said cash games have been going quite well. Over the past few months, a lot things just came together in my game, and my winrate has been steadily growing. I also got rakeback at FTP after having an account with them for years and not playing on it ever since clearing my initial deposit bonus. Having rakeback there lets me table select between Stars and FTP. While neither is all that hard, FTP does seems to be softer with more tables with fish.
Here is my April graph so far. I also broke my dry streak in MTTs, cashing in the Supernova 75k for $90 (fuck yeah!).
Birthday on UFC night is ballerby Highcard, April 18
Yo, so at least this birthday I have something enjoyable to do on my birthday, going to go hit up some bars to watch UFC. I don't know how many single girls will be running around the bar for a UFC night but I hope many lol. Anyways, here is some more Kutiman (refers to previous post).
was watching a myth CR video and i had an epiphany. i used to think i was a nit at heart. i'm actually a station. i don't like making so many blogs but this is such a huge revelation for me that i've gotta make a note here in case i one day become extremely famous. then i can look back and be like "yeah see, poker changed my life. right here i discovered i was a station when i thought i was a nit. and this changes everything."
SallySpectra raised PF, i called, strategiclee called.
What do you do on that flop?
- i folded because i have zero fold equity against SallySpectra imo? so i'm probably behind when he calls my shove.
So: probably behind + 0 fold equity = fold that flop
Am i right?
Played pretty well, had a couple questionable hands and got sucked out once for a full buyin KK
I realized I don't have any poker friends, so add me on AIM yo. Scal4Three44
I'm getting adderol for something not poker related, but I've heard it helps you play longer and stay focused. Anyone have any experience with it? Thanks
Might play one more session later but have my last final on Tuesday and then I'll be done with school until September. I plan to play a lot this summer and hopefully do quite well.
As said i have almost no clue about the new maps since i only know LT,Luna,Gaia,Legacy of Char, Azalea,GaemaGowon,NamjiYagi etc. and that stuff
So after going 7-0 vs D players my newbness finally got map abused ^^
Terran walled in and build some marines
i didnt see him going fast expansion nor did he have a lot of marines
so i figured i will go heavy macro before going lurkers + build some zerglings to be save against drop.
then suddenly 4 vultures are in my base killing my drones ....
i was liek wtf how did this happen ?
I have overloards in my base to see drops ... i have lings in front of his base to see dropship going out or any ground unit going out ....
So what happend was -> he sent 2 scv at start -> one into my base to scout and the other doing a proxy factory
i had killed the first scv so i felt save ...
second scv mined the mineral patch who blocked my backdoor ramp entrance to main ( i didnt notice)
4 vultures sneak in.
I only had like massive drones and 8 lings ...
he microed a bit and gg
pokerwise yesterday was good
2,6K hands + 67$ 9 tabling Nl25 6max
So i am only down 75$ for April.
the bad thing is i am down 550$ on NL50 6max in just 2,7K hands this month >-<
Whenever i have a hand at NL50 i got pwnd hardcore by dealer...
since i cashed out a bit for snowboarding i think i will just 9table grind Nl25 6max for rest of the month.
played 13,6K hands in 4 sessions of Nl25 6max this month and achieved + 370$ profits
Took 2.2bi shot at 5-10. I played wayyyyyyy not like myself at all and made some really crappy errors + ran bad in one spot. Sigh. Fuck. I won't play 5-10 'til may.
I'm still up (and haven't spent lol) quite a bit of my profit for april. I'm just going to grind 2/5 and if I keep running bad I will drop to 1/3 or what not. Really, my goal for april was to make 6k and I'm right at that mark now. I just hope I don't run bad much longer.
Played some 2/5 after my crappy 5/10 session. Went pretty well, I was up a buyin. Then my last hand UTG I have 77 and flop 745dd. Get it in on the flop for 100bb. Obv he flips 68dd and I don't boat up. Second time I've gotten stacked UTG on my last hand. Sigh.
So -2.2k for the day.
Gotta play my normal game when I play 5/10 next.
No downswing plz poker lords.
oh yah, myth sat'd into the 25k today(Saturday) at bellagio, glglglgl
Hey again guys, gonna write a blog entry almost exclusively about poker this time.
Last blog post I talked about how I'd been doing, how in general I was swinging quite a bit, but the trend was that I've been losing since restarting after a 4 month break from poker. I'd tried to experiment, but largely unsuccessfully, but also posted that I had started to recover the style that I used to play with some success, and this is how it's continued since then. By and large I've been playing much better poker in the last few days, and although results don't show it, (see below) I'm still happy with the improvement that I've been making. It's taken me a while to remember what I used to do well, why, and how it worked, but my confidence has regrown and I think that I can turn around this month, which I'm currently down 4.4k in, and bring it back into the green by the end of the month.
Despite the new WoW patch coming out just a few days ago I've still managed to put in a lot of hands (above is 15th April until now) and minimised WoW time to just raiding in the morning then not logging on for the rest of the day.
I'll leave with the note that I intend to make another video shortly, somewhere between 50nl and 400nl, but I'm undecided where just yet. I'm leaning towards 50nl or 100nl at the moment since I made a already 400nl one before (That I wasn't very proud of, but still ...). Leave comments if you're interested with what you wanna see, choices are limits and number of tables, up to a maximum of 4. The video will certainly be 6max.
INTERACTIVE DRUNK BLOG! HELP LP!!!!!!!!by Svenman87, April 18
Welcome to Sven's Drunken Novel #1
Relax and enjoy your ride through my mind and my Effen Vodka.
Well I haven't made one of these in a while...
one sec need a shot.
dfkjsfd warm vodka
anyways, so that hot girl is like conflicted over her bf & me. Which is actually fine with me. I doubt I'll win the war, but I don't mind winnning some battles in the meantime.
And for all you haters, fuck off you wankers. I'll take a picture of us next time she comes over here or I go over there if you think this is some fake post which would make no sense why I would post pictures of some random chick I found pictures of on a Poker Website. It's not a sidebet or some fucking thing so stfu.
Next, I would like to say wtf we're going into a world government within the next 50 years, I'm predicting it now folks.
Okay now back on topic. This girl likes anal, she fucking orgasms off of it... However I have done anal with one girl and was absolutely repulsed by the fact that I'm putting my dick in the same hole where shit comes out of. Is it better with some girls than other? Or are we all in agreement that it's fucking weird.
one sec need a shot.
you'd think they'd get easier to take after a hwile. But fuck they're double shots and all I have to chase is one can of monster which I am trying to save so I just take like a little sip xD.
Anyways I feel like this is a pretty good turning point in the chicks I've had to the chicks I'll get.
From Strippers to models.
I like that transformation personally.
/needs another shot obv.
Remember when I said she was conflicted with her boyfriend and me? I am relatively posiitive she'l go back with him and call me on the side. I guess I feel slightly like a whore, but at the same time I feel nearly normal... aka emotionless and unable to feel upset or happy at the chance of getting or not getting this girl.
I also realize the fact that she is fucking me while she has a boyfriend, why would I want to be her boyfriend? All I can answer that with is the same reason I started this, there's something about her that makes me attracted to her. I live once and I don't want to blow it away for nut peddling a decent job and a safe life.
okay another shot before I end this. Actually two because I didn't tak eone the last time I said I was going to take a shot. one sec.
okay 1 more shot >_< almost done with this fucking bottle..Fuck!
EXTREMEEEEEEEEE
/coughs fuck >_<
she just text me and she wants to meet later on monday. I have officially 37 days before he rboyfriend returns. LP What Shall I do?
A.) Call it off dude she's bad news
B.) WTF You type to welll to be drunk, you're faking
C.) Why don't u use the fucking make a poll button you fuicking fuck
D.) Fuck her and post pictures
E.) Slow things down and try to make her your wife
(I went trhough the alphabet to see what went after E at this point)
G!!!!!! ) ENTER YOUR SUGGESTION!
apparently, he started playing poker only 3 years ago! i have a lot of self-evaluation to do, considering that's when i started dabbling in poker as well.
Roommate's brother was over. Guy basically runs like Jesus. Won some 9-man SNG playing any two all-in all day. I was jealous since I'm still running like death at 6-max so I asked him what was up. At some point in the conversation my roommate wanted to take the brother's car to another town so he could get to church tomorrow. I was playing 6-max at the time and spewing money like a Jew recently turned hedonist. To help assuage my frustration I naturally lashed out at my roommate's religiosity. I made fun of him for a while and as I began to run worse my comments veered heavily into the blasphemous.
At some point it was suggested that my lack of faith was a possible cause for my bad run. I sensed opportunity. I offered God a propbet: If my luck turned around and I ended up at neutral or better, before midnight, I would be at church on Sunday. As of 11:58 my BR was +$6.
God 1 - 0 me.
Ship a capital G and me at church. Well-played sir.
I went on such a crazy heater on the 15th, came up 5k with basically no effort in 1500 hands. So I knew something was about to happen, knew I was due. It's been pretty sick some of the stuff that's happened to me.... Let's recap...
Earlier today, I was overset for 200bb against a fish in a 3b pot on Q52dd when I had 55, he led for pot, I raised obv, he shoved and I called. Usually I'd be very sad but I wasn't at all for the reason that I knew there's nothing I can do about it and it will happen occasionally, so whatever, I took a break. I came back on to try my luck on pokerstars. Within my first 50 hands I was stacked 3 times. Once all in preflop AA vs JJ, spiked J on river. Once KK vs AQo all in on 245r flop, he spiked A on river. Then one where I turned trips on AQQ4r in 3bet pot against very loose 3bettor who bet turn and shoved river w/ 44. So I stop lossed.
Let's see what else, turned straight gets all in vs rivered boat. Turned gutshot gets checkraised, so I flat to induce on the river on very innocuous board of 823r-4c. River brings seemingly harmless 4d, villain shoves, I call to see the 34.
QQvAA, QQvKK, KKvAA. Flopped Q high diamond flush vs naked Ad, 2d hits the river.
Oh, and yesterday, Ashman sits in on one of my 2/4 HU tables, and I just couldn't click the sit out button fast enough, so I was dealt a hand. I had AA so I figured I should probably play it. I obv get stacked this hand when he c/r 986dd flop, I peeled instead of raised since I had Ad, turn is 2d, he bets so I shove and he snaps it off w/ KTdd, I brick river.
Whatever, I've been hitting some very lucky cards in the earlier part of the month. I already had one 4k downswing on the 2nd so I guess there's no reason I can't pull out of this one. Just a bit drunk and a lot frustrated.

not meeting my goal/quota so far because of new outside interests that keep me from grinding more and more as they grow
I have max of 1 week left before it's withdraw time again - thinking about maybe cashing in the 650 bonus to leave myself afterward
I can still make the bottom end of my goal if I bust my ass this week
I was just going over some hands and I decided to do a post about how things are going pokerwise.
I got in about 10k hands really fast at NL10 and did alright. I was fucking around a bit but still did well. I was getting so fucking bored of NL10 and one night I won a satellite to the big Sunday tournament on UB. I said fuck it and took the monies so I could get back to NL25 and tell NL10 to suck it.
Nl25 has been going very well so far but I find myself making a lot of terrible calls on the river the last few days and its really making things harder on me then they should be. Most of these hands are sets or big pairs and I just have trouble laying them down when I know that Im beat but I still make that stupid call just so I can see something I already know. I would be up WAY more this month if I could stop that shit. Im workin on it.
I was hoping to get in 40k hands by the end of the month which I think will be easily reachable still. I plan on putting in a ton of hands the next few weeks so I can have a healthy rakeback payment heading my way and possibly moe up to NL50. Im undecided what I want to do when it comes to moving up. Im pretty sure I can beat NL50 but Im just not sure if Im ready for it yet. Originally I was planning on moving up to NL25 after I get in 100k hands at NL25 and see how she goes or when I get my roll to $1500. I want to have a very comfy roll from now on because it can be stressful when you are considering a move down. I will for sure be very close to $1500 at the end of the month with rakeback but I think Im just going to cash out my rakeback earning so I have some extra money kicking around and just grind up to $1500 playing. Once I get to $1500 through strictly winnings then I will move up. Who knows tho Im still undecided becasue the money I can be making up at NL50 is nice.... hmmmm.
Alrigt so some hands here... fml lol.
LOSERS
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674717
This is my worst hand of the month. Its vs a reg at my game and I should have known this deep that he is not re raising that big with anything other then the straight. I dont really know what I was thinking but I mean Im pretty sure all I was thinking was OMG I HIT A SET OMGOMG but really it was the worst card for me. This is an example of what I was talking about early about bad calls. I mean I do have the re draw for the boat but for the amount of money it was going to cost me to get there I think this was a fold on the turn sadly.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674718
This one just sucks. I read the player to my right perfectly. I knew he was making this raise with top pair so I figured I was good and would isolate him to myself. To bad buddy flopped the straight.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/674720
I really hated this one. It went down today and all I can remember was saying this guy has AK I should just fold. Sure enough...
Those hands are what are killing me lately. Half the time the initial read I make is dead on... I just cant talk myself out of it lately lol. But anyways its a pretty easy fix imo so after I make it I will crush :D
Going to roll a joint and go joint to roomies at a baunfire.
