I really started playing poker about this time last year and spent the second half of 2007 learning as much as I could and putting in a ton of hands, even grinding out supernova at NL100. Unfortunately the result was a severe drop in my stamina and disipline to put in a lot of hands per month. This year I have averaged les...

Stupid procastinating caused me to have to run a 20+ hour 10 tabling poker marathon. Sooo tired now. Anyone else supernova cramming?

I ran decently at NL100 and horrendously at NL200 including [url=http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=339730]the hand from hell[/url] [img]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/4317/novptyj7.jpg[/img] Plus the equivilent of $1462.50 worth of bonus money brings me to nearly 4k this month.

I really don't understand how it is possible for all of the setup coolers and sick beats to happen to me night after night. At what point does the probability of me spontaneously combusting overpass it? Let's take a look at a few hands. Beats: - For the biggest one (2.5 buyins) see my last b...

[HAND=318034] It hurts SO BAD :( Note the beautiful over-raise which he falls for perfectly :( Mon, 19 Nov 2007 04:12:37 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=339730 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=333998 ShaunR Last night I had a loooo...oooong 14k hand multitabling session where murphys law was in full effect. During my downswing of 11 buyins everything that could go wrong, did, and I got destroyed by more 3-4 outers in huge pots than I thought was possible. My all-in luck graph on PokerEV was -5 buyins alone, and that doesn't count the coolers. Here are a couple hands which sum up the theme ...

Things started out well and then started to go very bad and I'm down 3 or 4 buyins before I know it due to a combination of coolers and not being able to fold AA/KK when I got hit by a set. This didn't phase me at all. I'm completely used to dropping 3 buyins and then making it back and then some within the same session. I...

While many of the NL50 tables had VPIP averages in the low 40s, almost all of the NL100 tables had them below 30. Basically I assumed the competition would be much tougher and tighter than the NL50 tables. I only played about 500 hands, but from what I saw I was wron...

I've been a long time reader of teamliquid.net, as I used to play starcraft quite a bit - so that's how I found this website a few months ago and have been reading it ever since. In the past I've also been an avid MMORPG player with my guild, [url=http://www.conquest-guild.com][b]conquest...
