Also any helpful tips on this journey would be greatly appreciated.

I just learned the notes (high e, b, g, d, a, low e) and now am working on chords. If anyone has any advice or help they would like to offer please do so via whatever. Thanks.

Roll is gone and I'm out. Not a big deal as last year this same exact thing happened to me and I came back in July and ran it back up. However, I don't know if a comeback is in order since I am completely discouraged to ever begin playing online again. FTP has once ...

One of the most brutal sessions in my memory And after losing 8 of the last nine flips in the tail end of my session it was capped with this: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/888634 http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/888635 http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/888636 [url=http://imgur.com/UgfIW][img]http://imgur.com/8Qprg.png[/img][/url] At least I got a taste of wha...

Before I always looked at poker as - when I was winning I was playing good and things were supposed to be that way. And then these horrid downswings of mine were just plain bad luck. I will not deny that I do believe my downswings are worse than a lot of poker player's but surely not the worst. However, I bel...

Once again then only time I flopped sets today it's on a FD+SD flop and either the opponent flopped the nuts or they flat and the worst turn always comes. I haven't touched poker since my last blog on Jan 11th and I figured I would give poker a 3 buy in sh...

And I am lost for words. This is EXACTLY what happened last year. I lost all of December and all of January and eventually had to cash out the remainder of my roll to pay for bills. I have about $1400 left in my checking and about $1550 left online. I am quitting poker again and getting my job back once school settles this...

I have taken 3-4 days off between each of my last two sessions and just continue to lose horribly. I have booked one winning session since December 4th. SLIT!!! So many times I would 3 bet broadway cards and I had so many people call with SC OOP and just ram me in the ass over and over. If I did hit top pair it usua...

Took a few days off and came back today only to get three more sets cracked. Disappointing. [img]http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/2479/decd.png[/img] Wondering when I'll bounce back. Last year it didn't happen till Feb (My downswing started the same time this year as it did last).

On 38 buy in downswing - 18 buy in under EV - of course that doesn't include all the times I flopped coolers. One winning session in 2 weeks. Gotta move down now and try to scrap together what I have left.

That surely soon in the future I would run worse than I thought possible. Before I started playing poker again I had already experienced this. I went through 2 downswings over 40 buy ins and another for about 25. Well, it's here. It started off slow - Just barely managing to break even over the sessions I played this week. But ...

Me and villain are 230bb deep. "Unbelievable" is what I said at the end of the hand when we got it in on the river after he turns a set with 99. Two other funny hands: I 3 bet button with 55 - he flats - Flop J46r - I cbet - He flats - Turn 5 - I c/shove and he shows 78s. I 3bet light with A...

I am raged with tilt right now. I had one of those sessions where you start off losing and you continue to lose. I swung down $600 then I was down only $200 then I swung down $800 then I got back to fucking even and I hate not making a profit every fucking session so I continue to play. I never EVER fucking got $1 in the green. As soon as I get close to even I just...

Started on the 12th (Was in LA playing live poker the first 1/2 of month) and ran into quite a bit of trouble at first. But everything smoothed out and I got comfortable and activated beast mode.

Every big game (including Georgia vs Georgia Tech) was down to the last minutes. So sick - Go Auburn!! And rofl at the biggest upset (Nevada vs. Boise State) Since Appalachian State vs Michigan 3 years ago.

If I could post graphs I would but I'm a noob and can't get it to work. Anyways so I was hanging out with my buddies last night till about 1 am and decided I feel good enough to play a NL 100 session. I usually use a 3 buy in stop loss but I looked at my cashier 25 minutes into the session and I was down $500. HOw? I don't even know... All I could remember was getting ...

Getting a fucking grip of this limit and starting to shit on the regs. For the first time in my life I am playing well within roll and it's given me something great. I am the type of player that HAS to have 40+ buy ins behind. I love to make moves and maximize my fold equity in many spots and put tons of pressure on the opponent. Of course I fail sometime...

It was 10 hours and 9k hands long and the most ridiculous thing I think I have ever played in my poker career. My first session was yesterday and I finished up $40 after 1k hands so I didn't really get a taste of the difference in NL 50 and NL 100. The aggression is 5 fold. People don't just check down boards when they don't hit. They double barrel - cons... Mon, 15 Nov 2010 03:21:53 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=933797
