ive slacked off so badly this month, just being back at school and having so many other distractions. 8.5k hands in half a month is really inexcusable -_-. need to rededicate myself bcuz Uptown has passed me up in volume, stakes, and skill.
edit: but its ok, vlseph hasnt cuz all he does is grind full tilt points all day.
First session where I was raping every living creature was interrupted by parents, which kinda sucked . (+5bi / 800 hands)
Stopped session 2 b/c I felt like I wasnt playing particularly well (in fact I think I was playing like shit, bluffing these 80/10 stations way too much), esp towards the end . (+1.5bi 1400 hands)
First session of 50nl was a success, I made about 3 buyins. Was up a bit more at the peak but oh well no big deal. I was disappointed that the hu tables are going to be down until monday. I am really looking forward to doing some bum hunting. Should be able to build my roll even faster that way. Im still def going to play 6 max primarily however. I may also play some 25 plo in the near future.
Tomorrow im going to play some mtts even though last week they did nothing but tilt me and waste my time. However, that sickass 10$ buyin 200k guarantee seems like it is too good of a deal to pass up. I think it had 28k for first place, that is really sick.
On a sidenote I took the comptia A+ exam and passed it today so that was pretty sweet. And also I have decided that this next week I need to start working out again. I used to be really into bodybuilding like 5-6 years ago and recently ran into some of my old training partners at a nightclub. So seeing them was pretty inspirational and kinda fired up my competitive spirits again. Plus I think working out will def help my poker concentration and tilt management etc..
I feel a bit degen/tempted to donk off $215 in the super sunday mil tomorrow, I really probably shouldn't though lol. I have a ticket to a 100k gntd on cake tomorrow.. Perhaps I'll just satisfy my degen desire in that tourney lol (I satellited in, basically got a heavily discounted ticket). I'm just running so good lately it is so tempting ;p
Anyway, I'm really WTF'ing my red line. Luckily my showdown winnings are running hella good. Here's the month
Step 2 officially done + a question.by ConquistadoR, February 14
Ok so after 4 days grinding I officially made my goal of making 200$ at NL5 as well.
Im not sure, I might grind out another 100$ here, and then change to NL10, make like 300 there and then go NL25. I've seen some small differences between the play there and the play at NL2, I'm really thrilled to see how ppl play at NL10.
So far everything works out really good, I'm feeling how my discipline is coming back, and I also nearly never get tilted anymore, because I get a lot of suckouts and just getting used to it!Have been mostly 15 tabling without a HUD, and just grind grind grind. Too bad I couldn't hit a milestone though. T_T
I'm also thinking about using this deposit bonus from Pokerstars, but problem is that at the moment, nearly all my money is on PS, and I kind of don't have any left that I could deposit. I wonder if anybody here could help me, it would go down like that : You send me money on FTP, or Neteller, and I deposit at Pokerstars and send you back your money + a little more for you immidiately. As an insurance, I send you half the amount of $ in advance @ PS. Just an idea, I am terrified by the idea of not being able to use a potential bonus that could help me really much. If anyone of you has another idea how I/we could do it feel free to post! Thx in advance.
I'm looking to sell up to 40% of myself for either the warmup or million tomorrow or both. I'm not the greatest tourney player at all but I'd think I'm slightly +EV.
I just played a bunch of tournies today and finished with 1 cash in the $109 rebuy busting 13th which makes me breakeven for the day. The bustout hand I think it would've been better to make it 45k and folded to a shove but whats done is done. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/632450
Tomorrow I'll be playing all the $109+ tournies on stars probably up till the second chance as well as the remaining 2 ftops. If anyone is going to play these donkaments feel free to pm me your msn so we can rail/help eachother out or something.
After tomorrow I'm going to go back to cash games and try to get even for the month and hopefully put like 30k hands in for the month unless I magically win the sunday million.
Well i could go back to Nl100 HU now but i somehow have no motivation at all ....
my months have been so swingy and i really think i need some smooth steady income for my mental health
dont know ...
maybe u see me at the NL100 HU tables tomorrow >-<
maybe not.
I tried some caplimit tonight.. most of the players really sucked big time. If the table isnt too hard I guess I even have an edge at capNL1000..
but sometimes thats not enough - I couldnt win anything tonight, and JJ was my biggest enemy. Think I lost 3 times AI pre at NL1k with a higher pair and JJ draws out. I also lost a couple of capBI against people who outdrew me or really big setups.
The overall result for the night was however saved a little by them giving me a lot of small pots all the time. Some BI was however lost to the fish. Why cant I win sometime when I make a shot?
Looking to see if someone wants 1/2 my action for the warm up tomorrow for $107.50. Note: Applies only to warmup, I'm taking my own action on the million.
I realize this being my first post there may be some skeptics but I have lurked on LP for sometime and anyone not satisfied with the first hour of coaching can have a full refund.
I started playing Full Ring full time in January 2008. I 24 tabled and was able to achieve a hourly of >$100hr last year. Unfortunately in the early part of 08 I only had a 20gb hard drive as I was using an old computer so I had to delete many of my old hands. I improved drastically last year and had a win rate of approximately 2.5 ptbb/100 for the whole yr. which i maintained while 24 tabling.
Towards the end of 08 I began to get incredibly burned out by the grind of 24 tables so I finished clearing a milestone bonus on stars and switched to ftp. I now plan on playing 8-12 tables at a time and really focusing on improving my game and moving up limits.
The top database is the last of what I had on my computer from 08 on stars and the bottom database is my winnings on ftp so far this yr. I really haven't been able to play many hands this yr yet as I'm pretty lazy and was at PCA.
I prefer to coach using Skype/teamviewer and sweating the student or having them sweat me and then going over important hands at the end of the session. With me you get a coach that can train you how to mega table to crank out that pretty hourly or how to play less tables and really focus on crushing the fish and other regulars.
My current coaching fee structure is:
50nl = $40hr
25nl and lower = $30hr
I will most likely go over an hour on most sessions as I am not a clock watcher. I also offer a discount on bulk hour purchases.
