Poker is very weird for me lately, having huge swings but not rly moving from place, today i won a 10$ satelite for 190+10 350k GSOP event on Ongamenet network and busted 1700ish out of 2000ish, i rememberd why i hate tourneys. I am starting to transfer to shorthanded poker more because fullring is boring the hell out of me. I concetrate more on playin hands correctly, and getting most value out of marginal spots. And fullring is much of a hit or fold fest when u are thinking about folding KK preflop and when u dont, u are like wtf why didnt i fold it preflop it was so obviouse he had AA. But the biggest thing i hate about ongamenet is the number of players on each table. There are 10 seated Fullrings and 5 seats shorthanded. I think 10 is way to much for poker game, and 5 is too little, 6-7 is optimal for me. So i am thinking about changing site and getting some nice Bonus up.
ad1. Prinnyride is sick human
ad2. DaEvils is also sick
ad3. I <3 Deuces Cracked
ad4. I hate sets
ad5. I got to stop listening to hiphop and shitty black music in generally cos it makes u stupid
ad6. This is mybrute plz challenge www.maixccc.mybrute.com
playing long sessions when u feel good and are motivated is very important !
Thinking like
Oh i am up 100$ after 30 minutes, i feel good and relaxed lets quit and call it a day = -EV
or fuck i am down 150$ after 30 minutes despite playing good -> quit session
is very -EV in the long run.
I play okayish , and just got unlucky -> fuck results -> continue grinding = very very +EV
One thing every new player must realize to become succesfull with pokerz
run very bad whole session except for the last 30 minutes
+128$ for the day
i am happy
allthough i play lower than i played in the past i think i improved a shitload as a poker player
( my cardgame skill probably didnt change .. but everything that has to do with taking poker serious improved by 20miles !)
So I have reached the mass of $550, exactly the ceiling that many sites will match with a bonus.
I love Stars, but this bonus would be a great boost, and I can always come back right?
FullTilt seems very similar and it has 100% match to up to $600 bonus and 27% rake back.
The Only thing that keeps me from doing this is Tableninja. I got used to it so much... Is there anything similar for Full tilt?
Do you think its worth it?
(You know me and my massive BW-like volumes ;o, I don't think it would be for too long)
P.S. I'd play NL10 SH there until $750, than NL25 (Are the blinds 10/25 or different?)
Warren Zevon was the man and quite possibly one of my top 10 favourite song writes of all time. He also seemed like a really cool and in some ways weird dude. This is a clip from his last apperence on Letterman;
Dude knew he was about to die and still joked around about shit. Pretty nice.
Some songs:
Mr Bad Example
The Hockey Song
Also, if you have spotify or something check out Roland the headless thompsson gunner, lawyers guns and money and I dunno, whatever else you can find.
did my first session in a long time and poker feels real fun again! I played solid, surprisingly, since I didnt think I would do that after this long stretch without poker.
What reaction do you get from this?by kantoiki, April 19
I suggest not watching it if you're feeling a bit down already...
I was shown this by a friend and whilst he didn't really get upset I felt quite a strong reaction to it.
My personal reaction went from curiosity at first to 'oh wait... no ... don't do it... oh good god...' and throughout and for a little while after felt quite upset. Not crying but just feelings of sadness I guess?
Wondering how each person feels/reacts when watching this video and why you think you react the way you do?
lol. Over the course of my last 4 NL5 shots I am 18bi under EV over 9k hands. Back to NL2 again, I'm thinking... I feel like I've been playing decently. My red line is break-even or slightly above across the shots, however my W$SD is pretty bad in the 40s and I'm prolly 3betting too much. But I still can't help but feel that I can beat NL5 and that this is just variance. 9k hands really isn't anything.
I do beat NL2 at 3ptbb/100 over 40k hands. Which still isn't much, I know. But these players are so bad -- Whinewhinewhine I know
I'm tempted to just deposit $250 + my NL2 roll, and just jump to NL10 and put in mad hands and make it or bust lmao ~_~ Tilted like mad. EV nonsense says that I should only be 8bi under breakeven (accounting for a total of 26bi negative) which I think is pretty accurate, because I've easily spewwed more than 8bi tilting from the fucking suckouts...
So, inspired somewhat by LemOn[5thF] and his insane amount of hands played, I decided to grind out about 2000 hands tonight... played probably about 4-5 hours... 4-6 tables 6 max.
Recently I've been trying very hard to find my inner fold button. I was making all my money without showdown, but whenever it came down to showdown, I was getting raped. Sometimes it was badbeats, but alot of the time, I was just getting it in bad because I was playing over aggressive.
Anyways, this is where I'm at right now. Trying to keep learning and figuring out the game.
The run-bad continues! The real problem is that I sat with this cute girl flirting for 2 hours and I didn't ask for her number before she left. After she was gone 3 guys on the table go 'did u get her number or what?'. I'm all totally like, "oops nope". They go 'LOL WTF?' Life downswing.. self inflicted now.
Poker downswong better end asaply then I need to find me a pretty ladyz.
New here, sort of a lurker on teamliquid for a while, been playing some poker lately after doing the no-deposit thing at full tilt.
So... I'm sorta making money finally after trying to figure out a good strategy that works for NL2, and losing too many buy-ins in the process.
Also playing some low-stakes PLO, wish there were more tables available so I could multi-table it, because I'm making lots of money at that, tons of fish there from what I've seen.
Not a single hand in 3 hoursby blackjacki2, April 19
So I went to play live poker last night. As soon as we sat down 5 handed I got some of the sickest cards back to back to back. First 5 card draw I got dealt trip 6s. Then 5card stud I got dealt an ace with an ace in the hole, which is a crazy good hand. Then Omaha I got quad jacks. I also got a few other pretty decent hands. I ended up winning 6 of the first 7 hands and I was up a buy in in 10 minutes.
Then I went on one of the coldest streaks I've ever seen. I couldn't even make a pair in Omaha. No draws, no nothing. For three full hours I didn't win a single pot. Luckily I very quickly realized I wasn't getting and hands so I tightened up and managed to limit my losses to usually no more than $1 per hand (not hard to tighten up when you get shit). So after three hours my $100 stack turned into $30 (buy in was 50) without winning A SINGLE POT. Then I one a decent pot from a 5card draw hand where my pair of aces turned into trips on the redeal. I lost a lot of that profit a few hands later in the same game where my kings up lost to a flush.
Then I didn't get any more hands. Finally we agreed one more go around of the table. With about 3 hands to go I was down to $15 and I got AAT4 double suited in Omaha. Basically 99% of the hands we play for Omaha, someone just bets a dollar preflop and everyone calls. So I checked and waited for someone to bet the $1, everyone called it, and when it came back to me I raised $3 more. The flop came 2 spades, giving me the nut flush draw. I bet the limit $3 every street and I was so confident that I was going to hit the nut flush on the river, which I did. That pot was about $37.
I finished the night with exactly my buy in. Fortunately we also do this thing sometimes where people chip in $5 at the start of the night and whoever has the highest hand of the night wins the pot. My quad jacks held up over the night so I went home with $15 profit. Not too bad, but I wish I got some more cards cause I was playing pretty well and this is a really easy table to beat.
