Today i feel much better than yesterday
fever is almost gone , and cough + cold got better , too

So i played some hands again today

first i sat down vs a decent regular and played like 40 hands.
Then i quit him being up 1$
I knew that he was a very good player before i sat down , but kinda did that as a test how strong i stand with my new rules.

1.) If u dont notice villian has severe leaks within the first 50 hands -> quit him and search for a bad reg or bum.
I lost lots of money in the past playing good regs , just cause my ego wanted to beat them so badly.

So i am happy i managed to stick to my rules

after that i searched a shortstack and played him for ~ 60 hands he killed me pretty bad lucksacking settups and took 130$ of me before he insta left
next i searched for bad regulars and found 3 of them.
did profit decently allthough i could have made some more ... however me stupid thinks i can bluff a maniac the hand after i caught him bluff. ( Ofc he shoved and i had to fold 50% of my stack^^)

all in all + 127$ today and i am quite happy

here is the graph of last 6 days ( Pokergrapher shows 7 days ( dont know why) >-< but its only 6)

what happens when you decide to take a permanent shot at a new limit AND clear a bonus at THE SAME TIME?!

december so far:
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1654/decgraphbf7.png

the roflswongs at the end was a ridiculous 200nl hu session vs a retardedly fishy semireg. i ended up dropping 3bi when all was said and done, but added to my sklanksy bucks collection quite handsomely.

before that, though, i had a loooong overdue +10bi session at 6max. i started out playing slightly drunk and poorly adjusted to the fishiness of the tables. quick -5bi, then an epic recovery.

here's the numbers behind the graph with a fancy shmancy ev adjustment. whine.
50nl and 100nl is mostly ftp, building a roll there sorta.

Its been a while since Ive been able to go up and see my buddys in St. Catherines. Last year I was up there so much getting er done. This year though Ive been busy working weekends + hockey so I havent had the chance to get up there. Last night they all finished there exams and wanted to get fucked up so I decided to roll up with my 2 other buddies

I rolled over to my buddy Brents at about 5:00. He is one of my buddies who lives in St. Catherines for school now. He decided to come home for the break but wanted to go back up for the night because the rest of the room mates were still up there + all of Brock University would be out getting drunk celebrating that exams are over. Anyways My buddy Steve who in a previous blog post I refered to as "Clarence" because he was a fuck tard the one night when I was trying to wheel this girl who I am actually sort of seeing now came and picked Brent and I around 6. Our buddy Mark was home from British Columbia for a bit so we went and picked him up to come out with us since its been forever since any of us had seen him. We got him and hit the highway to St. Catherines.

Its a pretty shitty drive to St. Catherines. About 1 1/2 hr. drive from where we live so for once I was glad I wasnt driving. On the way I rolled up a nice joint to make the drive a little bit better lol. My buddy Steve was driving and he thinks hes Jeff Gordon when he drives. Just such an agressive driver. I almost got into a huge car accident the one time with him and ever since then I have really hated driving with him. Hes wrote off his last car but still hasnt learned his lesson lol. Anyways the guy did about 150kmh there so we ended up getting there in 50 minutes which is rediculous.

It had been a while since Ive been to there place in St. Catherines. The last time I was there they were jsut moving in still so I havent really seen the house all finished. It was really nice. Probably the nicest house full of students Ive seen. They just got a sick 50 inch tv with surround sound and there kitchen is unreal. We had so much time to get a pre drink on and I took full advantage of it.

We didnt go to the bar until around midnight. By this time I was about 14 beers deep and buzzin hard. We all were. We called up some cabs and went out to this bar called Big Bucks which I had never been to until last night. This bar trys to be all classy and doesnt let you come in if you have a hat on or a rip in your pants. Really though its just your average bar... nothing crazy special about it. Anyways my buddy Mark brought a beer with him in the cab and wasnt finished when we got there. We told him to ditch it but he didnt. The line was fucking rediculous at this bar so we were waiting there and my buddy was drinking a beer. All the sudden I hear this bouncer telling my buddy he had to leave because he had beer with him and that they werent going to let him in. I look back and the bouncer was a buddy of mine who I met when I went to the Dominican with my buddies in the summer. I went over and told him that he was my buddy and the guy let him stay. Not only that but he let us by pass the massive line and head straight in. Sick.

The bar was pumpin. So many brods it was unreal. As soon as I got there I checked in my coat and went on a cunt hunt. So much potential at this bar. I knew it was going to be a good night. Tyler, Steve and I went around talkin up brods but none of them were that great. Then we stumbled across a group of 5 girls who were all pretty decent except the one who was kinda.. "thicker?" I started chattin up the one blonde and before you know it shes grinding my nuts on the dance floor and all my other buddies were working on her friends. We stayed at the bar until about 2am and then I asked this girl if she wanted to come back with me and told her she could bring all her friends too. She was down and so were her friends. I told her I would meet them outside, I just had to run and get my coat. They all went outside and I went over to coat check.

Now I just got my coat that I wore out about 2 weeks ago. Its a really nice coat and I probably spent a bit to much on it but whatever. So I go to the coat check, give the girl my ticket and she brings me the wrong coat. So I said to her "this isnt my coat..." she goes "It has to be this is the number on it" so I said "Well its not so keep looking" She then tells me that I would have to wait around until the bar closed now if I wanted to get my coat. That wasnt going to work because we had a group of brods ready to come back to the place. I was actually really pissed so I told her there was no way I was waiting around because they fucked up when they put my coat away. I told her what it looked like and the dumb bitch finds it thank fuck. She says "Next time dont be so rude" So I said "Next time, dont fuck up... it makes things easier for everyone."

When I got outside apparently these girls came with 2 guys from there residence and now the guys were coming back.... shitty deal but whatever. We get back to the place and there one guy friend instantly passes out on the couch because he was so fucked up. Ty, Steve and I took the girls into one of the rooms and started wheelin. I was workin on a cute blonde, Steve had the other blonde and Ty.... had beer goggles going and had was workin on the "Thick" bitch lolololol.

Now the other dude that came with us was kinda lurking around the room being a fucking cock block. I think he liked the one girl I was workin on and he kept giving me dirty looks. I was kinda getting pissed at him and honestly wanted to slap the shit outta him for a bit but then after talking to these brods for like 15 minutes Steve and me decided that they were actually really fuckin whack. I mean they were talking about the stupidest shit and freaking me out a bit (I dont really remember many of the things they said but I wanted them outta here.) I left the room to go see the rest of the guys and told them we gotta make these bitches bounce because they were crazy. Ty on the other hand was lovin the fat heffer and kept wheeling. He honestly is that guy who will just fuck anything. Some of the brods Ive seen him wheel I wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole. Whatever though... lower your standards, increase your numbers I guess. I went back into the room to tell these brods to bounce but the cock block was way ahead of me and already had all the girls ready to go. We happily showed them where the door was and they all left. Except the fat one. Ty was going to take down the war pig.

After everyone left me and the boys smoked some dope and called it a night. I ended up sleeping on a couch in the living room. They just got this new cat and in the middle of the night it jumped on me. I ended up sending the thing flying because it scared the shit outta me when it jumped on me lol. It didnt come back after that haha. I woke up today at 11 to the sounds of someone puking. It was Ty lol. He must have rolled over and saw the bitch he poached last night which resulted in him throwing up. Eventually everyone I came with woke up and we all bounced.

All day yesterday the house smelled like dope. I kept saying it but the guys who lived there kept saying they had just blazed. I knew this was bullshit and in the morning Ty was like you Mitch I wanna show you something. We go downstairs to one of the room mates rooms. He wasnt there and had a huge fucking luck on his door that I thought was a bit excessive but when I went downstairs I kinda figured out why he had it. It smelt like some serious weed down there. We go into his room and Ty opens the guys closet. GROW OPERATION! It was honestly the sickest thing lol. They had about 10 plants growing in this guys closet. They were all pretty much ready to pick and had huge buds on them! The set up they had was so sick too. They had the lights in the closet on timers so they dont use a shit load of power with the lights. Such a good idea to make some extra coin. I decided I am for sure doing this at my place when I move. Not sure how much its going to cost though.

Today I am not doing shit because I am kinda hungover still. Prolly going to crash for a bit right now. Hope everyones having a good week.

PZzz.

Just in case i need to show something to play the tourney on luckyace

Finished the exam (and think I did good) in 3.5 hours. Didn't see anyone go before me so I probably was top5 or so in speed at least.

Went over to a my friend Simon's, me, he, his girlfriend, my roomie and a another guy called Jocke then went to the liquor store and bought some beer and I added a bottle of champagne for 80€ or so to the shopping cart to celibate. People kept talking about how James Bond apparently drinks that kind and I got a little bit tilted cause I felt like a retard. Shouldn't bought a different bottle.

We get some burgers and start a homegame with me, Jocke, Simon and rommie. 1/2 SEK, I won like 700 or something. Biggest pots included 4betting AKo and flopping Jxx that gave me a flushdraw and getting it in for 200bb and spiking a K on the river vs AJo. Funniest was probably when Jocke opened UTG for 7, Simon made it 27 on the button and I squeeze from the bb with 82cc to 82. We're both like 800bb deep or something. Flop 863r, no club. I decided to go for pot control and check, Simon checks behind. Turn 2 rainbow, DING!, I bet 120 and get called. Pot is now about 400 and river falls a 6 counterfeiting my 2p. I check, Simon bets 400 and I start bitching about how life's not fair, I fucking hate this god damn deck and that live poker is rigged and destroys my soul. I do this for a few minutes but later decides that he's not having a QQ+ hand because he'd probably 5bet that pre, he doesn't play 99-JJ like that cause he's stuck and stuck Simon can't spell pot control and he's not having a 6 because no one gets trips in 4bet pots. So I called and he mucked. I also won a big pot on vs roomie when I valueraised 2nd pair on the river on KxxxQ and called his bluffshove. Then he owned me with TPnK vs total air for like 250bb or so bvb on a superdry board.

Went to the pre party, met a lot of law students naturally, got hit (somewhat hard!) on my arm 2 times by the hostess just because I pointed out that even though shes good looking in a classical sense she's not someone I'd consider hot but rather cool in a general sense. She's cute though. I opened said bottle of champagne and the fucking thing exploded over half the kitchen, and like half of the damn thing got out before I figured out that I maybe shouldn't hold the bottle upside down over the sink. Also, it tasted like crap. New theory about champagne: The prettier the bottle the worse it can taste and get away with it without anyone complaining. Sorta works like girls :/

We would've had to wait like 2 hours to get into "Snärkan" so most of the pre party, or maybe half of it, ended up in "V-dala". A bar. I wanted stuff on bottles brought out to us and I didn't feel like standing in line. Girl behind bar wasn't appreciative of my need. I told girl that I couldn't accept such outrage and gave her a couple of bills and told her to keep bringing us stuff we looked like we could need until it looked like we'd had enough and then take the rest as tip. Girl changed her mind. Actually think she was somewhat honest about the deal too, don't think she took more then like half of it as tips and everyone got drunk as hell. Got called over by a friend at another table and got orders to "take care of" someone named Katarina. I have no fucking idea about who Katarina is. I don't know any Katarina and frankly, unless she's Russian, it doesn't sound like the name of an actual hot girl. Didn't bother me though, promised to take care of said girl and then I sat down next to a dude who told me about his mafia connection and a girl I went to class with who's nice enough. I immediately noticed that she looked really good when you're drunk as hell. Spent good 15 minutes staring down her cleavage before Jocke came to the bar. Talked to him and got even drunker. Then I think the bar was about to close and people talked about another party. Decided I loved life to much and tried to phone black girl (TM) and inquire if she wanted to do something, you know, just hanging out. Not quite sure if she answered, don't think so, and also remembered that she lives in Lund which is probably a good 7-8 hours away from me if I really tried and spent a lot of money on Taxi fares. Annoyed by this sick beat I decided that I couldn't be bothered with this anymore and needed to sleep so I went home. I really like black girl. She's an attention whore, drunktard, compulsive worker and has absolutely hilariously shitty taste in boys(friends). I'll probably end up marrying her.

I need to better pace my drinking because I lose all motivation to do stuff other then look at boobies and drinking more after a while. I also feel that I should tell people how wonderful they are.

lol I've been 4 tabling and this ended up happening.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/1b3d6dcb68d4d10ce2d6b954906f81f6.jpg
(I lost my concentration and noticed I went back to being too passive for a spell near the end, look how my winnings immediately dip..sick..)

Really though, I'm trying to focus on being less passive and really turning up the aggression postflop. It seems to be working out ok and I think I've learned a thing or two about where to c/r bluff and shit.

Not positive yet but we'll see ;o!

although i realize i am totally not rolled to play 10/25

i couldn't help myself.

so other than getting bad beat and tilting a bit (-100 out of my 250 BR), i started playing 4 tables of 6max nl25. Strangely enough, I got nice heaters, mostly bluffing people and playing solidly. So now, i'm at 430 ish on my bankroll for a net gain of around 170 for the day. =)

hopefully i can play enough so i'm actually rolled for nl25 (i hate playing underrolled...)

the main thing is that i'm actually earning VPPs, whereas on nl10, i earned like no VPPs, but now i'm almost on my way to silver star!

i really hope this continues >.

yeah so I threw up like 5-6 $4 SNGs, but then something happened and I was running insanely well.

there were a lot of fun hands, this one is the highlight of the night.

neilly was in my SNG and I saw him earlier with like 1000 chips or something when the bb was like 150. and here he comes back and has position on me with 10k.
then: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/590102

this is so fucking sick. he had almost like 12:1 to call with his remaining stack, and had to fold.
i asked him what he had in a pm after linking him the hand (i promised him in chat) and he told me he had + Show Spoiler +

. this is my only hand with neilly, and he went on to bust pretty soon after.
note: I hate playing with neilly oop



random pot committed call with terrible hand, just cause I have so many chips:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/590125
and the guy who waits ten years before shoving with AK calls me a donk

this hand skyrocketed me to #1, pretty much guarenteed me the FT:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/590130
I c/rai pretty confidently with my combo draw, and he fucking snaps it off and I see I'm in deep shit. but I'm running good tonight.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/590141
I squeezed the original raiser who had like 33 pfr and had been min opening in lp the last couple of hands. the cold caller is like 44 vpip. this is a great time to pick up a lot of dead money with a squeeze, and unfortunately I run into a hand
I get berated by almost everyone here for snapping off J6s, but unfortunately I was committed by my squeeze and ran into an actual hand.

things fell apart shortly after that but I find in a lot of my SNGs now I am a more consistent finisher getting pretty far, even though i do not have that one sick score or multiple decent scores yet. I feel I'm improving a lot in my MTT/SNG game and I'm willing to 3 bet light and squeeze light, even though it did not work out for me THAT hand I feel I would do it if given the opportunity again just because of the villains.

I also played NL10 today only on 4 tables, and practiced taking more observations on my opponents and trying to open up my 3 bet range in order to improve my game. I run into a few coolers and lose two buy-ins but whatever, I do feel my game has improved even though my profits cannot reflect that.


I have only one more exam before I am done (this Friday) and after I get done with it, I'm going to really focus on my poker game. I feel I've opened up my game considerably just by a few minor tweaks talking with my friend allen and edzwoo who I just met I think a day or two ago?

Fuck the money, it's about the game

p.s. any other no limit micro grinders want to talk about hands over AIM or whatever?
PM me if you are willing to help me out or even want help because I believe I can help out too, or just if you want to have another person to discuss with. just send a PM with your AIM and I'll reply with mine. I'd like to get someone who is good at MTTs as I'm trying really hard to improve my game in those, and would like more opinions.

afk studying about the eyeball. peace out LP

p.p.s. WTF THE LP HOODIE SHIPPING COSTS $32???!?!?!?!

p.p.p.s. fuck study gonna go

So I transfered my roll from PS to FTP a week ago to start NL25 + RB and bonus. Cash out from PS was a bit long and had some problems trying to deposit on FTP so I took a little break. I finally started to play friday and things went pretty well + I achieved my first personnal milestone.

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n301/zealit/nl25.png

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n301/zealit/1000.gif

It's been a bit swingy =o.
Still trying to work on that won without SD. Was worst than that at NL10 on PS. Actually I find the NL25 games on FTP to be softer than NL10 on PS, pretty weird.

Hope to make my first shot at NL50 early next month.

GL at the tables!

And damn its cold In the dorms the heat was on like 24/7 and now feels like 0 degrees inside my room.

well, at least results for playing with cold fingers today is pretty good:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/f451b9d92b6083525090d3e19ff9a65e.png

If i can keep up this rate, i should reach 600 in 2 days lol! then i hope to transfer the money to FTP to play there so i can get rake AND $600 deposit bonus that LP offers.

I felt like i spew way less today, even thought i lost 9/12 of my flips against $2 shortstacks. I was "in the zone." But maybe thats just my music, i dled some really "zen-like" music lol. If anyone is interested i can try posting it, just dont laugh at me XD

Good luck at the tables!

P.S. What is the best way to take money out and to deposit to get that deal @ FTP? I am wondering if anyone with experience can tell me the do's and dont's.

Thank you very much.
