The site im playing at is VCpoker (Victor Chandler poker) and they are having an event the next 10 weeks where the top 3 active/successfull players every single week at 3 different stakes will advance to an 10 ppl SnG.
That SnG will contain:
1-5$ 3 ppl
10-50$ 3ppl
50+$ 3ppl
+ Victor Chandler himself, rofl
I came in 3rd place (week 2) in the 10-50$ area and advanced to that SnG. The player busting Victor Chandler will recieve an bountykill.
But the winner will win a trip to Spain in some live event. + Play Victor Chandler for 100.000$ HU (live).
I also won a bonus of 200$ cuz I came 3rd. Wich is 20 buy ins for me, always nice
So for the PokerStars milestone bonus, I noticed there were like 90k hands left until the next milestone, so I instantly joined as many of the penny fixed limit tables and auto posted my blinds.
Was grinding NL 25 and decided fuck it - way too many coolers every time I try NL 25. Decided to skip ahead to NL 50 - 6 tabled for about 3 hours and had some pretty decent results. If I can stop my spewing and bluff shoving in bad spots I think I can sustain a decent win rate @ NL 50.
edit: talked a bunch with YK over aim, I'm ashamed to have tilted and moaned in such epic fashion =/. Leaving this up as a reminder (aka public humiliation) to hopefully restrain myself in the future.
after my monster tilt, did some recovery. I found out that i win most of my money from shortstackers. What does that mean? im a donk? im a nit? im an idiot? i play too tricky?
This is pertaining to my previous blog entry on coaching, I received more requests than I had expected and will not be able to take everyone on... I have prepared a application of sorts for anyone that wants to fill out and PM me if they are interested.
Thanks everyone,

Had a losing day today, lost $150 and stopped, kinda needed a day off and want to prep for the weekend
I'm taking my 43,241 FPP into the 5400 FPP Sunday mil satellite tournies tomorrow (I have enough for 8 of them and I'll have 41 fpp left)
wish me luck, hopefully I can get a large br boost, i quit tournies a while ago, but I think that this is the best option for me to do with my platinumstar status (I can't save for the $1500/$4000 bonuses until I am a Supernova player, and the $650 bonus is pretty much saying that you're being impatient, since you can just wait another week or two and get the 100k fpps)
I know its highly unlikely, but to get top 4/10 in all 8 is $1720, which would be TITS! (and get me pretty close to nl100)
But honestly, winning 3 of them is what I expect, and anything more than that is awesome imo. Thats $645, $5 shy of the $650 bonus without having to clear it.
my br is sitting just over 2k right now throughout the swungs of NL50..
meh, not a good day to play for me, lostaccount and i tried hitting the milestone together a couple times which was fun, but to no avail, milestone wasn't meant for me today :-)
Oh well, lifes going great, I feel good, I'm going on vacation for a day next week which will be sweet (hope im going skiing *PLZ GOD ONE TIME*)
I'd like to thank lostaccount and whamm! btw, they're true kings of LP and should be respected and treated like Gold.
Out for the night, nl50 is fun, I'm gonna be there for a lil while longer than expected, but who cares, I have all year and I will fix any and all errors I have in my game and work on my spewy calls whenever I get tilty *pretty much the main leak I have now*
I was 3betting too often from oop as well, but this has built me an uber image, you guys can expect me to nutpeddle for about 5-7 straight days in the coming week, mixing in a few aggro sessions here and there just to keep the regs on there feet
OK. Enough is enough! I have taken so much shit throught the tournaments i've played in my life it is just sick. Cash-wise i am ok but when it comes to tournaments it just seems like i am doomed to get badbeaten. The last several hundred sngs i've played the Boss Media soft. has just raped me, then ipoker did that too. So i started cash. But from time to time i relax with a tourny cause the guys playing tourneys with up to 20-30$ buyin are so UNBELIEVABLY bad it is mindblowing. And yet their flush draws, OESD , gutshots always rape my sets and so on. But i don't lose hope cause theoretically everything will come to place. So, i decided to try FTP, about which i constantly hear "rigged".. much more than any other site. I bought in for 2 tourneys, 8$ and a 10$ (with bounty). I quickly doubled up on both of them and i realised that i have never in my life encountered such bad players. Almost everyone at my tables was ready to get it in with air or call with 2 overs or a g-shot! I flopped a str8 and set and was like "lol it is not rigged at all! ". Then... AK on one table, JJ on the other. I went allin on the turn with AK with TPTK, villain had AT, 3 outs. T. Busted. On the other: a shorty calls a minraise, i 3bet them, only he calls. Pot is = his stack. Flop 787, me allin, he calls A7. Nice hand, nice calls preflop. Then i recovered and i have 15k, blinds 400/800. me: AA. UTG raises 3BB, I 3bet smallish cause he is a huge shoving donk. Folded to him, he calls. Flop AsTd2s. He leads allin, I very happy with a smile call thinking how finally i might hit big in a donkament after 3 hours of play and playing good and all those feelings. He shows me JK. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....(silence)" during the silence, a Q came on the MOTHERFUCKJING RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!? HE CALLED MY 3BET WITH JK, SHOVED ON A-HIGH FLOP AND RIVERS HIS 3OUTER. How many times should get fkngly raped. I play play play play play and BANG FUCK YOU U R OUT cause u get it in 70% with the better hand. I just can't believe how the hell can this happen. Every time i think this has to end but NO. Every fucking donk in the universe has a big hit a tourney and i can't cause my huge hands get buttfucked so massively. Maybee if play 20+ tourneys a day i might hit stg or prlly lose it all. Sometimes i click on final tables of random tourneys and i see the HUGEST DONKS win the shit just raping everyone else. 62o allin, no problem, AK is busted! Every single tournament i have FTed the biggest donk won it! WTF!?!? The better i play tourneys the less i cash. If i do cash i get badbeaten right after the bubble. Does anyone else feel like tournaments are HUGELY fucked up by the Poker Force. I am just sick from those luckfests. The donk rule the tournaments. I don't even know the purpose of this blog. Just tell me that you too get buttraped by the donks in tourneys. I feel alone now. I am just losing lil by lil my money on these shits. You play for hours and just when u feel like cumming your dick is cut out. Painfull and disgusting and unfair!!! FUCK TOURNAMENTS! FUCK DONKS! I am secretly wishing i could get a huge tourney donk in a dark room and just beating the hell out of him hearing the screams. That would make me so happy just fkn enjoying the huge donk getting fked up and beaten . God i hate them!!!!!
Why does anybody play nl10? NL5 is easier, the blinds are less expensive, and the pots are bigger! I get paid off with my huge hands EVERY time and the pots end up just as big as nl10 pots if not bigger (like 8 dollar pots). NL10 sucks!
I feel like my stamina pokerwise has dropped since december-jan. I keep putting in 1-1.5 hour sessions and then I'm kind of crapping out concentration-wise. I've been trying to combat this by playing 3-4 of these sessions a day. Not sure what's going on. My drive hasn't decreased at all..
I need to keep improving my game, and I ought to stop making certain mistakes that I know are bad as I'm doing 'em.. >
Today was gooood and, well, lets just say my EV has equalized for the month. LOL

Really on a heater this time and playing well at the same time, after winning 10bi the other day and 12 yest, this morning i started and just ran stupid bluffs and kinda spewed in some spots tbh, im thinking, "all this good happening can't be true, must i rectify this and trigger a downswing?!?" lol anyway i did win it back easy, prompting me to think im really crushing this now and not only some sick heater, which is really what i wanted to know. up almost 5bi today and im gonna shoot for a lot of hands coz im like 13k hands behind for me weekly concierge of 31kpp which is really 500usd instaship for me run good everyone
