Well, I've played about 15k hands on my way back up so far. I plugged my "patience" leak and it seems to be helping. I'm also running pretty well being 4 buyins above expectation. Trying to pay attention and make sure I'm not playing in some bad spots and getting lucky.
@ -134 from my -334 low. Hopefully I'll be back on top asap!
I decided to start playing Poker, but I've got a few questions.
I've browsed this website for practically, three hours last night just reading through whatever I stumbled across and was wondering if there is a lingo list, because even when reading the Rekrul interview I didn't understand half of what he was saying. So far I think it is safe to say NL is No Limit. But that is all I know at the moment I think.
Also, I'm just a bit confused on Poker Stars. Is it legal (or doable) to play at the age of 18 in the United States? I watched the Poker Stars video on the website and it showed how to create an account, and it had a check box that said "Yes I am 18 or older" so I assumed that was correct? I remember some law being passed though that stopped you from depositing cash in the United States on gambling websites? Is this true? Or am I a bit misguided?
And last but not least, I turn 18 this December actually, and was wondering what is a good software to replicate Poker Stars (or any professional poker software) that is free? I know there is Yahoo, AOL, Facebook poker, and I'm not sure what I should be practicing to be getting the closest experience I can to Poker Stars. Is Texas Hold 'Em the standard poker being played on Poker Stars? Or is there multiple types that you can play? Which should I be practicing first?
Sorry if this is a hassle, but any response will be appreciated.
Ok, so after yesterday's session I cashed out 300$ as mentioned in my own reply and thought it was a good idea to get either HEM or PT3. I read and heard a lot of great things about HEM and that is has some more stats that can be very usefull that PT 3 doesn't show (I remember reading something about 3-bet percentages and so on). Now I am still only in the trail version but I am planning on buying it if I can get it all setup right.
Here is where the problems come in... I don't understand jack shit of it and I can't even get the auto import to work (while I did get it work with PT2 on my other PC). I'll just screw around with a little bit more and hope I get it all figured out. Anyone else had any problems with this ?? Is it me, HEM, my computer or PS ??
Btw, for anyone ever interested in having a kid, here are some usefull tips:
I hope you all learned something from those 2 most epic blogposts and if not then at least learn something of the pictures above. You're doing it wrong !!!
i met this girl online because i put my phone on craigslists and she kept texting me so obv being the optimist that i am, i thought she'd be hot. turns out she's fat and kinda ugly and gross looking. not like obese but you kno. and she's white and she tries to act all ghetto and stuff which = THUMBS DOWN
btw i'm also playing in some $11 tourny on stars and i'm like 178/300 which is more or less not gonna be itm.
cliffnotes:
started out with fancy play syndrome
then I sorta snapped out of it and started playing good and hit a wall of shit which has made me a little impatient
getting and staying focused is harder today than yesterday
yesterday = no music but today = music to get me in a groove and keep me in it
I took 2 small quick breaks to stretch let cat in etc
think I caught a 2nd wind
gonna reboot and find out
I wanna sell pahud serial for 15$ @ ftp or PS.Im playing on betfair atm where it doesnt work and i ll be staying there for a while so dont really need it but wanna play some micro stts at ftp or ps to build some roll.I cant really guarantee that i wont be using it ... i mean i cant really make a proof or smtng so u gotta trust me.
I'm 19 years old and really unsatisfied with where I am in my life right now. My narcissistic ways tell me that I deserve better so here I am to write down my goals to be accomplished within the next year from this date.
- Get a job, and not quit having a job for the whole year (i have interviews already)
- Set my poker goals easy yet high at the same time. (Move up 1 limit a month and have 100k easily by the end of the year in my br)
- Get a girlfriend. I've never had one and it's probably -ev but I want one.
- Keep eating more healthy + maybe start working out + keep drinking way less like maybe once a week
In the end of all of this or if i just totally crush my goals i wanna get a poker house to live with other guys who play poker in some area away from where I live now.
The plan for right now? Play like 5-10k hands a day and really get the ball moving. There is a local poker tournament with a $550 buyin or so that is gonna be totally sick with 200bb starting stacks and stuff. I wanna have half of my action on it so I need to come up with $225 or so to play in it + find people to buy the rest of the action. If no one will online I'm pretty sure i can find people in real life who are very interested because im sort of a local celebrity in my small rural town for playing poker and they all think im a god or something because i sorta made a living from it + crush every local homegame ever played.
If I can't play in that tournament though I'll live with it but I really just feel completely obligated to play it in my mind and it's a really good goal to motivate me so that's what i want to do even if its pretty much way outside of my br.
I've already played 3k hands today (fuck you chrisT18 whoever you are @ lp you run like god seriously) and it's time to go play like at least 3k more hands.
If anyone would be interested in buying action on the sick structured live tournament If i make it to a financially respectable position within the next 12 days or so i'll post here and see if anyone is interested.
Help me not to fail, I hate losing and im playing against a pretty tough opponent that is my bad habits.
Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:
* Objective morality does not exist.
* No action is logically preferable to any other in regard to the moral value of one action over another.
* In the absence of morality, existence has no intrinsic higher meaning or goal.
* There is no reasonable proof or argument for the existence of a higher ruler or creator.
* Even if a higher ruler or creator exists, humanity has no moral obligation to worship them.
The term nihilism is sometimes used synonymously with anomie to denote a general mood of despair at the pointlessness of existence.[1]
Movements such as Dada, Futurism,[2] and deconstructionism,[3] among others, have been identified by commentators as "nihilistic" at various times in various contexts. Often this means or is meant to imply that the beliefs of the accuser are more substantial or truthful, whereas the beliefs of the accused are nihilistic, and thereby comparatively amount to nothing (or are simply claimed to be destructively amoralistic).
Nihilism is also a characteristic that has been ascribed to time periods: for example, Jean Baudrillard and others have called postmodernity a nihilistic epoch,[4] and some Christian theologians and figures of religious authority have asserted that postmodernity[5] and many aspects of modernity[3] represent the rejection of God, and therefore are nihilistic.
Finally something that actually describes my feelings about life. Kinda depressing I know but so fucking true :

I've been losing so much with AA/KK recently i came up to make bad decision like the last hand, i fucking folded KK on the button vs a 4 bettor as deep as me. 1 week ago i'd have fist pump called instead, i think i've lost all my confidence and i'm struggling to break even, dropped like 30 bis now ? didn't keep track of my losses...
I feel like shit and i have to admit i almost cried like a little girl after being 2 outted for the xth time. Oh and i just killed my mouse too, why would someone be that affected by a game ? Time to quit and move on maybe ? Time will tell.
I don't know many poker players and I need to find some people to discuss hands/talk poker with in hopes of further improving my game. I'd prefer HU players but it doesn't really matter since I'll probably play more 6max/fullring/donkaments in the future.
I only have msn so pm with your sn and I'll add you
I really want to play and I really want to get good at this game, but it is taking forever. I beat nl2, had a roll of 250 and was ready to move onto nl10. That was 4 months ago, now I'm back grinding nl2 and running like garbage. Yeah I'm playing like shit and I know my leaks, but they don't consist of stacking off deep with marginal hands. My leaks cost me ~$2 a session, yet somehow I always manage to break even or down and quit after less than 1k hands. I'm sick of watching my premiums be destroyed. I know it will end and I'll get through it, I also know that I'm bad at this game and if I was better how I'm running wouldn't matter at these stakes. However, I suck at poker. I know how to beat nl2, I can play ABC poker decently, and I know I should be making ~$20 a day if I played as long as I'd like to after work. The only problem is I come home only to run into setup after setup after suckout. Yeah, some of my hands hold, unfortunately I have not had a hand hold for over half a buyin in the last two weeks.
FML, I want to play this game and I want to be good at it, but right now I just don't have the drive to do it.
Hello. I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't really gone anywhere. Played a good number of tables since internship ended but just not running as well as I used to. I'm having trouble figuring what my leaks are...notice how long I hung around 150-160. Ghey
...to run good. I used to crush 25NL and now I am taking my shot at 50NL and I just keep on losing... I reviewed all the big pots, the only one I did win was my TT against villain's JJ me flopping a set. Got to love irony, losing every pot you enter as a favorite and winning when you are at the short end.
72o instead AA for preflop nuts anyone ??
Oooh, I guess a ''yay'' as this is my first blogpost. Not sure if I'll keep it up to date much... Thought everyone has a blog and seen a lot of ''I run bad'' posts lately so I thought I might as well join in.
I need to stop running bad when I take shots at high stakes this month. Also, it tilts me when retards pwns me despite obviously not knowing wtf they're doing. lol
Still up like 6k€ or so. I think I'll try to make 10k/month my new goal for a while.
Only make this post cause I feel better when I make then "still up" and stuff posts. FUCK!
