on the other hand i played a session today, got 2 outered or 2 paired SOOO much after going all in with pretty much the nuts, I was srsly getting sick and about to throw up, I thought I would be down to like 700 or something but miracously i'm still up $6....dunno how that happened but I guess i can't complain. I'm guessing that micro is becoming so easy to me now that even with so many suckouts on the river I'm still up even though i'm fuked by pokerstars neway I hope I can win something next freakin session.

"Typo" bets can be very profitable.

So, I am up $100 in EV at NL10 and down $100 in EV at NL25. I am at 12bb/100 at NL10 and -13bb/100 at NL25 haha.
I keep taking shots at NL25 with too few buyins, and I think it is messing me up quite a bit. Tilting after (very)minor crap which doesn't phase me at NL10 where I have plenty of buyins. I shouldn't of been at NL25 before hand ~8000, but I am confident I can cut it there once I have a proper, nontilt-inducing roll.
Sooooooo I am going to try and just grind up to 30++ buyins for NL25 before I go back.
I find NL10 pretty boring and I am usually 4-6 tabling it. I seem to do fine when I 9 table as well.. so I think I'll be doing that while I grind up my roll. I'll be donking around in the daily 40k to mix it up.. (woo I cashed for $70 there the other day.)
Hope I can muster the discipline & patience to do this properly.
Met my goal of 1300 base FPPs, having played exactly 2,600 hands. That's 5 hours 6-tabling NL200 6-max. The session didn't go that great. I played well, but kept getting bad beat and coolered and ended up down about 0.75 buyins, which is basically break even, but considering I should have been up around $500, it kinda sucks. Both AA and AK were losing hands this session.
So i've been doing well since my last blog and today took my first shot at 25nl. I 4 tabled and really tried to focus. Before i was 9tabling 10nl so a little slower. Over about 500 hands i ended up a buyin. So not tooo bad.
A scandal a day keeps the doctor away... wait... that's not how the saying goes... But if it did, Sarah Palin would be healthy as they come! By my count it's been 4 days and we've had 5 scandals. Babygate plus the 4 listed in this great article below which I think you should definitely read. To me McCain's pick of Sarah Palin as VP adds up to putting country dead last, and political stunts to win elections first.
It's becoming abundantly clear that John McCain didn't bother to take a look into Sarah Palin before naming her his Vice Presidential pick. Reported here on Huffington, and backed up elsewhere, McCain's people are actually vetting the pick now, after the decision has been made.
Joe Klein is right, that this is the McCain temperament at its absolute worst. This is his shoot first, ask questions later personality, which even McCain admits gets him into trouble. The problem, of course, is that this time it could get America in trouble - very, very deep trouble.
Everyday, more comes out about Sarah Palin, which shows that not only is she completely unprepared for the presidency, but has displayed decision-making that is rash, spoiled, too personal, too petty, and detrimental to the people she's supposed to be working for. In short, she's shown herself to be completely drunk with her ability to sack people at her whim.
Once is a fluke...
First, and almost immediately revealed, was "Troopergate" - Palin's attempt to pressure the Public Safety Commissioner to fire her ex-brother-in-law as a state trooper, lying about it, and then firing Walt Monegan, the Commissioner, when he tried to explain there was nothing he could do. Then, Palin replaced Mongegan (who had a very good record on the job) with someone who had to resign after two weeks, because he had sexual harassment problems in the past, which Palin was aware of when she appointed him.
Now Palin is under investigation for Abuse of Power (an investigation that is due to offer up a report just days before the election, by the way).

Two is a coincidence...
Next, we found out as Mayor of Wasilla, Palin canned the Police Chief and the Library Director for not supporting her campaign for Mayor. Palin never contended that these people weren't doing a good job. To her credit, I guess, she was up front that these good public servants were on the chopping block because they wouldn't support her campaign.
Palin faced a recall effort because of her decision, and eventually had to reinstate the Library Director, and came to an out of court settlement (a tacit admission of wrongdoing) with the Police Chief, basically paying him to go away.
Three is a pattern...
Today, I discovered that Todd Palin, Sarah's husband, also had a say in hiring and firing decisions. A long-time aide to Sarah Palin, John Bitney, who was a childhood friend of hers, was unceremoniously dumped from his job. Apparently, he found out he was fired when his Blackberry stopped working, and when he called to see what the problem was, discovered he was no longer on state payroll.
His mistake? Bitney was dating the soon-to-be ex-wife of a friend of Todd Palin's. Todd Palin didn't like that insult to his pal, so he had Sarah fire her old friend, and long-time aide. Again, Sarah Palin never even tried to contend that Bitney was doing a bad job, and no one had charged that he was doing a bad job. He simply pissed off Todd Palin's friend, and his head rolled.
Four is an effin' disaster for America...
Another scandal involving Sarah Palin's tenure as Governor is Dairygate (I know, I'm sick of the 'gates' too, but that's what they call it up there).
As Palin came into office, the state Creamery Board, after years of study, concluded that state-run Matanuska Maid Dairy was beyond saving, after years in the red despite heavy taxpayer subsidies. It recommended that the dairy be privatized, as the only way of rescuing the dairy, and saving Alaskans from giving tax dollars to a failing business that inflated dairy costs.
You would think that Palin, the so-called maverick cost cutter, would be thrilled. Nope. Instead, Palin fired the entire Board of Agriculture and Conservation, and replaced them with loyalists, who in turn installed themselves as the new Creamery Board. Palin contended that Mat Maid Dairy just needed better management, and these guys would do it. In short, like another person I know (hmmm...) Palin didn't like the expert's answers, so instead of dealing with the facts, she fired the experts to find "new facts."
Except not so much. Nearly $1 million in subsidies later, including $200,000 in Alaska tax dollars paid to farmers to dump raw milk into the ground, this new Creamery Board came to the same exact conclusion as the old one - Matanuska Maid Dairy was a failure and a drain on the state. Oh, and the kicker is now the dairy has been reborn, and subsidized with Federal tax dollars, otherwise known as "pork."
This would all be funny Northern Exposure politics, if John McCain didn't impulsively choose to put Palin one heart-beat away from the Presidency. One heart beat away from managing the Federal government, and picking who would run departments. One heart beat from hiring and firing security agency heads. One heart beat away from the Red Button. One heart beat away from managing two wars (and maybe more if McCain has his way).
But, this is not a joke. This is the future of this country. If John McCain is serious about "Country First," if he really cares about the future well-being of Americans, he will come to his senses and ask Sarah Palin to leave the ticket. Now.
It would be a disastrous political move for him, for sure. But, if John McCain is who he says he is, and values this nation above all else - even more than his own political career - he will not allow Sarah Palin anywhere near the Oval Office. And, if he doesn't admit his dangerous mistake, he's as bad of a political hack as George W Bush is, and as she is. Nothing more.
Btw, probably later tonight or tomorrow I will upload pics of Mile High stadium... just been lazy and spent all my free time reading up on Palin.
Oh, and one last thing - about Babygate, I find it funny that the right wing bashes the shit outta Jamie Lynne Spears's mom when she shows up pregnant @ 16, but rally behind Sarah Palin despite the fact that she pulled her daughter out of school to hide her pregnant belly away from the world and was on track to hiding it and lying about it until some bloggers caught wind of something suspicious going on. I guess it's because Sarah believes in abstinence only education while the spears family didn't, and if abstinence only education fails it ain't no biggie, the mom did all she could, while if anything else fails the mother is a horrible person. Ok, that's not totally fair, I dunno that to be the reason for sure, but god it feels that way.
So I decided instead of spending money to satellite into the $1050 WCOOP NLHE event, I will just buy a ticket using FPPs. It costs 65,000 FPPs. Currently I have 808. As Supernova, I will need to get 18,571 base FPPs to earn that, which is about 1300 FPPs per day for 14 days. This should keep me motivated to put in the needed poker time. Here we go!
Okay i will probably semi quit Poker for the next 2 months
But i have a very nice reason !
I have an upcomming amateur MMA match in Poland on 24.10
So next 2 month i will spend hell amount of time to train my ass off.
If u go into an MMA bout without being prepaired very good u basically land in hospital for sure
I am not to keen on that ( allthough i am well aware this might still happen .... but if i am well prepaired chances of winning teh fight and not getting injured too much are good)
I ll do my best to prepaire myself as good as i can.
I will train a shitload of different things the next weeks which requires like all of my free time.
-brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique , Muay thai technique each 3 times a weak several hours ( this training will mainly just contain relaxed tequniue to get the right flow and a good arsenal of weapons to use in my fight)
-weight lifting and cardio ( running + shaddow boxing)
- special explosive and fighting related strenghth train with bodyweight.
- some wrestling + sepcific MMA training.
- lots of sparring
Allthough this means i dont have much time for poker , if any at all
i am really happy and pumped !
gogogogo me ^^
here is a nice video that i allready posted in my blog a few times
However this is my favourite fighter and i feel so happy and pumped when looking at it now
Finished 5th in the 109$ 13:00 ET on stars. I registered 4 mins before start, only because it had 25k overlay. When late registration finished it had 2,3k overlay...
anyway i ran real good in the mid/late stages of the tourney. Was chipleader all the way from 36 to 11 players, then got too nitty. At the final table is didnt get any hands as usual, but folded myself to 5th place for 2,8k. My 2nd biggest cash so far, so I won't complain.
Nice to have something to blog about again. I was just chilling/doing an internship at my gf dad's law practice the whole of august. Hopefully now its back to grinding again.
Oh and i passed my Diploma in Law exams, which brings me no official title whatsoever. I will start my LBB (Bachelor of Laws) soon though, so that should be cool.
