They've been out for a while, but they still get me on the grind... plus ski season's over which means wakeboarding and Stellas to these joints soon enough. I LOVE COKE RAP.
From now on, when I am ending a session I am ending it AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT. No more of this "sit out until next blind" shit, hoping I catch AA. Because this is what fucking happens on 3 tables simultaneously on your last free hands of the night
[x] won 20BI at Poker in 16K hands

Bad
[x] did medicore at university ( failed a big test + wasnt motivated at all this semester >-< )
Just cashed out every bit of profit i made this month at poker because i didnt realize how fucked up my financial situation is. I gotta quit living like so much of a baller apparently or all ballers are massively in debt.
Looking forward to being in the green again but fuck its so depressing . I guess there will be no nl200 when I get my rakeback check.
So overall like +950-1000$ Month which is solid since I just started over again on 3rd or 4th of March with a 150$ roll
Also reached Gold Star sometime last week :D
Goals for April:
[ ] Platinum Star
[ ] Finish deep in at least 1 SCOOP event (mainly playing satellites to low ones)
[ ] Don't waste that much Money on MTTs
[ ] 30k Hands Cashgame
[ ] 1.5k$ Month
Ok so as you could see in my previous blog i'm now broke on Titan after 650+ games and my 30 starting euros from pokerstrategy are now 0.03 euros.
Basicly i was even at 1+0.20$ sng after 600+ games. Yea i know that's not enough to be considered a decent player and of course not a winning player. It was 6 players sng btw.
Then i was tired of being even and raped by rake so i tried 5$+0.5 sng and got raped by variance ( a real bitch imo ).
Still being ~0% Roi when you start poker for the first time on tables with 20% rake is not that bad. I still have faith in myself and i believe i can improve and moreover i enjoy this game so i will keep playing poker.
So basicly i need to find another room and a cool starting bonus because i don't want to sart deposing money online ( i would feel so fishy ).
What i need:
- a room with LOW rake on micro-sng or NL2 ( if i try again cash game )
With this bonus i get 50$ bonus if i deposit 50$ right ?
Then i have to play and get points to "unlock" the bonus ?
Pokerstars have no rake back right ? They give you points to buy goodies in their store right ?
If so how many points you get for each $ of rake and what is the value of those points ( in $ ) if you want to buy their goods ?
Is this offer better than the "tell a friend" for me ? What's the difference ?
My goals:
- Being like >5%ROI on micro sng
- Buying cool softwares with the money i won to get better at sng.
- If i fail start NL2 again ( is stopped because i enjoyed more sng )
- Being EV+ and buy Poker tracker with the money i won.
If i fail again i could quit poker happy without having spend 0.01$ of my own money

Economics Plans of "Father Obama!"by capaneo, March 30
As some of you know I dont visit this site anymore and I have a blog some other place and this is a copy of my last post there (If you want to leave comments about why am I still posting here and some other stuff like that please PM me)
So Government is now into the business of insuring cars! As you may know GM is basically done. And US government spent around 14B to get to the point that I and many engineers said around 4month ago. GM CEO had to leave and as a matter of fact the whole company has to go bust and get bought by small sectors. And you can be sure that in 3 month there wont be any GM. Unless obv Opera or Limbaugh come on and say something about it and congress in fear of not-getting re-elected pass some new laws. Which will only postpone the inevitable.
I actually read their plan few month ago about how they are going get out of the mess they are in and its very interesting how people running biggest car companies on the planet has absolutely no fucking idea where and what the problems are.
Also Chrysler is hoping to get bought by Fiat. To just remind you how low things have gotten. read This article from around 4 years ago. where Fiat was forcing GM to buy it back then!!!
Another interesting sad point is that government is trying to practically flush a big chunk of cash down the toilet by propping up New Energy/"Green" companies. As someone who is in the middle of the mess and into the research of these things I can tell you that there is no need and future for this type of stuff at the current stage we are in. There wont be any clean energy and there wont be anything getting invented by any of these guys and they all know that. The are just too dumb to realize the whole picture.
The only way we can move on from fossil fuel is by oil running out and prices going up. By pumping money into these non-efficient "zombie" companies who are only alive because of lobbying and politics, you are avoiding resources to efficient people who are driven by demands and needs of the market. People who can make stuff that are actually useful.
Oh God March Summaries will now flood the blogsby thewh00sel, March 30
That being said, here's my March summary---
Wow, what a swingfest March was. After playing 5 of the first 8 days of the month online multi's I was sitting down about $700, so about even still and a little annoyed. I had played one of the events at The Wynn Classic and busted out at 200-400 with a mistimed reshove. The following day I took another crack at The Wynn and played the $1500 event #9. Good decision i think . I ended up scooping it no chops etc for $84,400 and that made me a happy camper.
After that win unfortunately I had 11 losing days in a row. And in the results department that equated to a $34,000 downswing and it seemed like another disappointing month, (for those who don't know I had a 66k score at the beginning of February and ended up losing about $30k toward the end of the month to finish at right around 35k for the month). So yeah, I was pretty annoyed. Only $15k of the losses came from online, the other $15k was a 2k and a 3k live tourney followed by a 10k losing session at 10/20 where I shipped a draw into aces and didn't get there.
Anyways, after that brutal swing I managed to final table and take 2nd in the $100 rebuy on pokerstars, followed by a win in the FTP 100 rebuy, ousting jse81 (lilholdem954 on stars) in 2nd and a 3rd final table in the stars 100 rebuy in a span of 3 days of playing. That resulted in an overall profit of $50k and gave me my first $100k month of 2009.
Hit my goal of platinum star yesterday, and taking my first NL50 shots, everythings going fine so far, going to grind 10-20 buyins more on NL25 and a bit of NL50 combined, probably like 8 tables of NL25 + 4 tables of NL50. I really like NL50 so far, doesnt feel a lot tougher than NL25, which is great. Time to build a healthy br right now.
I'm going to be a real bankroll nit this time because I will never repeat the mistakes of my past again.
Haven't played that many tournaments lately, but I had somewhat of a revelation on of how to play them, which catapulted my tournament playing skill. I'm only playing $5-20 tournaments so the fields aren't that hard. The last couple of times that I've had a playable stack deep in a tournament, I've just started taking down loads of pots, Building a stack. But lost an all-in close to the final table. Therefor I felt like a tournament win wasn't far away.
This time I won that important all-in just before the final table, a 2:3. Shortly after I had the fortune to pick up KK when another big stack had AK = aipf, after that i didn't look back and just owned the final table.
NL50 has been decent this month, started the month a bit slow by running bad and playing far from my A-game. About halfway through I started playing way better and hit a heater shortly after, making my results to sky-rocket and pump up my winrate to 3BB/100. (I have about a 100k sample as a 5BB/100 winner on NL50, I'd be surprised if that's my real winrate tho.) This is definitely my best month so far, looks like it's gonna be very close to a +$2K month. So I'm on pace for my 2009 goals;
Play 200k+ hands in 6max cash games
Make $10k profit
Beat NL100 (& NL200)
I have a couple secondary goals as well, I guess I'll work on them when I start running bad/ get fed up with 6-max nlhe;
Improve my tournament play
Start playing some FR cash
Learn PLO
-Told my dad over a nice sushi dinner, he is religious in a weird way so gambling is evil to him, but he says everyone can do what they want, and didn't put up any opposition
-my ex-gf randomly text me today trying to convince me not to go (from the dropping college/where will you be when you're 25 angle).
-Saturday at the nightclub was awesome-fun except for my idiot friend.
-I'm reading a really awesome book called Fool by Christopher Moore. I had a really really cute girl at the bookstore suggest a good book and I took it.
-I got Farcry2 yesterday and I played it for about 6 hours, would of been longer but the fuckin game has a terrible memory leak that makes it unplayable after an hour and you have to restart the client. Game is really cool though. I can't believe they haven't fixed the fucking memory leak. Why can't every game company be Blizzard?
-Yes the longest bullet point is about a videogame when I'm in the middle of a life changing move.
-I procrastinated like always (:D) and I have to do 90% of my packing stuff today. Gotta clean my car ughhhh.
-Any suggestions on what I should pack for my move? So far: Clothes, Computer, Razor, Wii
You know these dudes. They didn't come to play poker, they came to GAMBLE. They pull a bluff here and there, but sometimes they have the hand and they stack somebody.
Well I guess my march ended up the way it started,with a huuuuuge downswing .As you can see from the graph I pretty much crushed 100nl after the ridiculous start I had and even managed to make a decent winrate.So far so good,butttt in the end of the month I decided to take a shot at 200nl.Probably wouldnt be that disasterous,if I had reduced the tables and played more focused.Ofc I didnt and started to play straight my 100nl game 9tabling which combined with running relatively bad lead me to some pretty discouraging results,killing nearly my whole winning for the month,fml!.Thank God that IPN are kind rakeback wise and including it I ended up about +1,3k $ ,so after all... it could be worse right ?!
Here are the pics:
Btw as you might know I'm playing on IPN atm,but I'm planning to deposit on some OnGame skin to see how good are the players there and mix the games when the tables on IPN suck.Any of you has any impression about this network or any other propositions for softer 100nl network ? I'm also thinking about LuckyAce Poker.Any thoughts would be apriciated
