Arteezy now my new favorite player, hes so sick beyond words. I got to see most of the matches, including the semi-final with navi and dk which was quite sick too (4+ rapiers i think were bought on game 2).

Just got a new laptop, installed the game spectator mode but not really willing to pay 30$ for the game when almost everyone got it for free. I filled out the survey 3 days ago but havent gotten an email back from steam.

Confidence & motivation regained?

flounder44 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:15:28 +0000

During Mid august i went on a massive heater and got up to 4k from 100nl. I took a 200nl shot at 4.8k and got up to 7.2k peak to late august. Then the doomswitch happened.... i went from 7.2k all the way down to 5k in 48 hrs(11 buyins or so)... I was geting owned hard by good regs/reg fishes/ whales and shortstacks. Got it in plenty of times with overpair vs toppair and it never held once. ...

However, most of the time i dont make it to...

flounder44 — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:28:53 +0000

Lately ive lost all motivation to play poker and i refuse to play now unless i feel like workign on my game etc. Im down over 10 buyins this month from 200nl running really bad set vs oversets, losing QQ vs AK-AA etc. And Overpair never holding up on 3b pots allin on flop. Basically im really soulcrushed right now and was wondering where i could get cheap coaching for 100-200nl. I know most coa...

Besides all that i had th...

finally fixing some leaks in my game. Took a shot at 1/2 and started off up like 5 bi then ended up net down 4 buyins so (6m and HU) after some more shots. i dropped down to 50/1 again to fine tune my leaks. I dont think im gonna be playing 1/2 hu again the swings are so huge and i think i may have tilt problems hu. I think one of my biggest weaknesses is discipline and being too results orient...

100nl May Results

flounder44 — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:41:05 +0000

Lots of tilting obv but i feel like my style is opening up a lot and ive tried so many different things. Some worked some dint. When i was tilting i kept calling with like QTsuit at bb or like 78suit or 3bet... then i gained my sanity again and started folding again. I highly reccomend using PTR.com a lot to determine your play vs people. [img]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6219/may2009.png...

Dont tilt, when on tilt tell friend to change pw.
