As far as diplomacy (that game from the last post goes) you can read about it here.
Played a ridiculus deep micro stakes game yesterday. Got owned by Remmember87 in a pot or five. Who the fuck valueshoves AQo on AK7x in a 4bet pot for like 500bb more in a 600bb pot on the turn vs my Q7o when it's so obvious that he should have QJ or JT 110% of the time?
LOL i feel the overwhelming urge to fuck one of my friends girlfriend >-<
i hate the situation but the desire is really strong ...
They are a couple for 5 years and i know him from MMA.
Well she is really beautiful Girl from Poland and i love that beautiful eastern european girls.
So i always found her very good looking and very attractive.
However he is a friend of mine for 2 years whith whom i fought some MMA and so i didnt even think of having any deeper feelings towards her.
I ocassionally talked to the girl when we did party with our MMA friends but mostly she was just the " Girlfriend of a friend"
1 month ago the situation changed a bit.
I dont know the reason but she somehow got my phone number...
I also added her in ICQ ( msn)
So one day she started talking to me
First some random stuff like : hey what u doing ... i am bored , lets talk about X Y ....
After a while we started to talk about everything : Even about what we like about sex and what we dont and stuff ...
I guess thats where it started to become a problem.
U talk with a very beautiful girl about sex ----> u insta imagine having sex with her -> imagination becomes a desire.
Yesterday one of the MMA guys had birthday party and ofc the Girl ( Agi is her Name) was there with her boyfriend.
Was a pretty cool party and stuff.
But whenever i looked at her i feelt such a strong desire to touch her , kiss her , rape her ass and everything
My head was almost exploding by looking at the flesh of her long legs.
Well she also gave me the : Hey i am bored , plz entertain me look.
So here is the situation now :
She : Is in the relationship for 5 years ( shes 19 now and started it with him when she was 14 ...) She obviously likes him , but shes also bored and thinks its time for a new step in her life. She was a child when they came together and now shes not anymore ... She also likes me a lot and i am pretty sure( nah , more like i am pretty sure there is a high chance) she wants to be together with me if i signalise her i want a relationship.
He : is a good friend of mine. Not the very best friend for life , but i d say we do some party together frequently and he also is a cool guy
Me : Doesnt want a relationship but feels such a desire to be with the girl for lets say 2 nights.
I never understood how people could cheat on their friends with grils.
Now i understand .... but i do my best of willpower to not cheat.
LOl i probably should look out for some other girls
Look at how often I flopped a set. Extremely short session because there was no way I could play well after these two hands happened:

Do I have to buy EVERYTHING online now?by JohnnyBologna, February 01
Go to 3 different electronics store to take a look at a 30inch monitor in person and the largest they have is 24"? I want to Look for a nice office chair and the best one they got is 200 dollars? What is a man suppose to do when he wants to go up close and personal to what he wants to buy it. The good ole day's where you can hold something in your hand or sit in it before you pay good money for it.
January Results / February Goalsby Uptown, February 01
The third month of my so called career, January proved to be the most successful - both monetarily and in terms of the advancement of my game.
I dug myself out from the hole I put myself into in late december, having lost 2/3 of my BR in a matter of days. I wrote in January that I was committed to learning the game and improving, rather than simply brainlessly grind; I believe I have stuck to the plan throughout these last 4 weeks. I went from NL2 to NL25, though I am currently doing a stint in NL10 to get my game back in order. While I've dropped perhaps $200 over the last week (12 bis when taking stakes into account), that has not prevented me from being able to have a very positive perspective on what I've accomplished this month.
My ability to choose spots to bet / not to bet has improved dramatically (granted, it's not hard to improve when I had NO idea of wtf I was doing before), and my confidence has grown accordingly. However, I have come to the realization that I need to work hard on the other side of the coin: folding and pot control. Aside from tangible goals, this will be the main focus of February. I've gone from complete newbie to newbie over this month, and I can be proud for the improvements I've made.
January Results
* Silverstar
* +$460
* 7x'ed my BR
* moved up 3 stakes
* 37K hands
* 129 hours
I don't have a BR or profit goal. As long as I put in the hands, log the hours and continue to keep improvement as my primary objective, I will be satisified.
Another January Blog :Dby DarkDevildog, February 01
So this month was only 3 days for me :/ but those 3 days were good. I deposited 200, then got staked 500, wanted to play HU but didn't have the roll so i got another 600. So far i'm glad with my progress.
I love HU so much, A LOT funner to play than FR imo.
I think I'm gonna create a kind of format for my month end posts so I can track stuff.
Goals Going In To Jan:
I started this month having recovered from a horrible holiday downswing and determined to do well. I wanted to get up into NL200 and was willing to take shots as long as I was over 4k. I wanted to hit 6k and do a 10 BI NL200 shot. I also wanted to start a new work schedule where I spent 3 days on poker and 2 days in the office. Lastly I wanted to clear a 1.5k supernova bonus and get at least 20k vpp so I'd be on track to hit 100k vpp in June and not lose supernova.
I got killed on NL200, mostly running bad. Did a lot of mixing 1-4 NL200 tables in with my NL100 ones which worked well. It allowed me to play the higher limit without feeling different or nervous. I played the same game on the NL200 tables as I did on the NL100 ones. I notice that sometimes if I 4 table NL200 then I don't play the same as I would if I was 4 tabling NL100, but mixing tables in really stops me from doing that.
I did great in NL100 for the month and got my BR up to 5k. Came up short of 6k but I feel like I will make it there soon. Ran pretty bad for some stretches and never had any solid heaters to make up for it. Dropped to NL50 a couple times when I was feeling tilted or like I was running bad and grinded mass tables there. Broke even on NL50 but I think I overall saved myself money by being at the lower limit for a bit where I could get my calm back.
Also got over 20k vpp and cleared my 1.5k bonus which I cashed out, and that's really nice. Gonna keep going for the 1.5k bonuses even though it does take a while to earn the FPP and then clear, but if I make it to NL200 that time will be cut in half and be pretty reasonable.
Jan Results Snapshot:
Total Profit: $2,058.90
Bonuses: $1,500 cleared / cashed out
BR: $5,041.46

VIP Status: Supernova
# of hands: 56,270
Hours: 82.08
bb/100 / ptbb/100: 4.72 / 2.36
Goals For Feb:
I'm gonna grind 6max tomorrow (Sunday Feb 1st) around the superbowl time and hopefully hit a heater and get up closer to 6k. Will mix in some NL200 tables if they're juicy, which I think they will be. Then starting Monday I'm on a mission to learn HU from my coach. I'm gonna start @ NL50 HU till I learn wtf I'm doing. That could be 1-2 weeks, it could be a month. I can be quite a slow learner and variance can always be a bitch, so I'm not gonna rush it.
Once I hit 6k I'm gonna focus 6max sessions on NL200 for a 5 BI shot. If I drop under 5k I will mix in NL100 tables with the NL200, and if I'm under 4k I will only do NL100.
Going for at least another 20k vpp. That should put me at 100k fpp and allow me to buy another 1.5k bonus. So by the end of Feb I hope to have bought the bonus and then I'll be clearing it in March.
Longer term my goal for the year is to be a NL200 reg with a 50 BI bankroll and 3 months of expenses in the bank, and be taking shots @ NL400. I think I can do better than that but I'd rather aim a bit lower with poker goals since downswings do come and shooting too high or too fast can lead to serious tilt when you fall short of the goal due to variance.
So I was playing NL 10 on stars after having a devastating downswing on UB back in October where I blew my 3k role. I worked the $100 deposit on stars up to around $360 where I took a shot @ NL 25. Cooler and cooler and I couldn't stop till I realized I was down to $180 - Lmfao well a few days later I was sick of poker and said fuck it and blew the $180 @ NL 200. Decided it was time to go back to ULtimate Bet after some convincing from my girlfriend and another friend that I shouldn't give up on poker. Well I deposited $100 on UB lost it. Another $100 - Lost it. Another $50 - Lost it. Another $50 and my 2 month downswing was over. Because over the past 2 months I would sit at a table and discover who the worst player @ the table was ( With a decent stack size ) and would mentally note their tendencies so I could take advantage of them. But every time the time would come they would suck out on me. So things finally started falling into place and I was able to stack the idiot fishes ( Which CROWD NL 50 on UB btw ). Went on a nice little heater and my $50 is now $740 after 4 days. Also, there is a NL 50 reg which tell his hand by his betting size. Every single time here is bluffing the flop he will bet $3 - EVERY EVERY SINGLE TIME. So I am pretty happy about this and I have him on my buddy list =)
Had a nice session today after the weekly 100k, got 250th, idk what i won, i think like $40 or something.
Was really motivated after i busted out (had a misclick that cost me 20k chips and kinda tilted after that for the remainder of the tourney, oh well who cares, donkaments)
So I played a few more hours of 6max today, my last blog is this mornings session and this blog is this afternoons session
Going to bed, eyes have been burning lately, gonna have a good rest and have a fun superbowl day sunday. Hope to put in some quality hours of grinding as well, probably right after the super bowl or around noon
Well I started Janurarey trying to reach platinum star by 9 tabling 6max, was kind of a disaster lol. Ran especially bad at the beginning, and the tilt got magnified over 2x. Made a decent recovery.
For the last week of January I cut back down to 6 and its amazing how much clearer my decisions/reads are. For Feb I'll just concentrate strictly on learning the game and instead play 100NL constructively while getting platinum with ease, rather than grinding my nose off at 50NL.
obv I know where my edge is but 6tabling got so mentally taxing for me that i just had to switch gears & play robotic for bit. thats just how i operate i guess!

Very shitty month overall, but could be worse as indicated by the graph. Ran unbelievably bad mostly; lost nearly every allin with AA/KK, literally every AK/QQ flip for like 10 flips in a row, etc. I also played kinda bad for a while, was calling too many thin river vbets thinking they were bluffs. Oh well, hopefully feb will be better. On the bright side, I have about 300 pages of bio to read for midterm next week.
This month gave me a shock, i had set my goals high and ready to destroy 25nl for 2 months to give me a roll for 50nl big enough for 30-40 BIs to withstand any coolers/variance that may come my way.
The month was going fine, up $200 within the first week, but then things went wrong, i dont know whether it was due to lack of focus considering i was playing in Spain at night during my vacation visiting family, or whether i run like shit (considering set over set happened to me 9x on its own), and countless set vs straight/flush suckouts, 2Pair vs set coolers etc.
I went on a -$730 downswing which was pretty unreal, being -$530 after taking away my profits, i was pretty distraught, a 30BI downswing was enough to almost completely destroy my roll (i use a 20BI rule, move up at 20 down at 15), but i remained calm and fought my way through it. Played some FR which i hadnt done since last year to try and reduce the variance while i rebuild what i lost, which worked out good and also went to my old routes and stomped on some 50nl HU fish. "Digitpl" stop avoiding me ! I won both my 5400 FPP sats to cushion my roll, and after a week of being back i started winning again.
I'd like to thank everyone on my MSN list, namely Luke, Devin, Shane, Micheal, Jonathon, David who put up with my whining haha. Devin special mention ofcorse for reviewing my hands and letting me ghost him for 1 session .
Also shoutout to NeillyAA and the sick railing we done during the 100k.
ROFL redline. Unlike what you'd probably think, my blueline isn't plumetting due to showing down garbage hands (although I do sometimes, of course), but from calling down hands that I definitely shouldn't be. My biggest leak hands down right now is making horrible calls.
I think I need to cut down on some tables occasionally to get some solid reads and notes on the regs. I'm certain I've been running pretty terrible this month, but I've definitely spewed in a ton of spots that I shouldn't have.
Anyways, February is gonna be a breakthrough month for sure. See you at the tables.
I started playing a lot of tournies the last week and I've done pretty well. I won the $55 rebuy for 12k a few days ago and got 2nd in the $320 freezeout today for 20k but I swapped 10% with artanis so 18k. I got 2 outtered HU leaving me with 5bbs and busted a few hands later but still good nonetheless.
