		<description>Hey all,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. A few things have come up that might require me to ask for a stake on a site other than PokerStars (preferably, one of the softer European sites). If anyone is willing or knows anyone who would be willing to negotiate a 5-10k stake, let me know.

Cheers,

		<description>Hey all,

So after a slight hiatus from posting, I'm back, and I've got some more updates.

First, I'm glad everyone enjoyed pictures of my setup. Penguin has been doing well, but his luckbox abilities are kind of shot at the moment. I haven't taken down a tournament yet except the one on day 3, but I'm going to re-double my efforts (yet again!). I'm planning on mixing up HU, 6M and FR at 5...</description>

		<title>Day 13 - Stars Promos Dictate Poker</title>
		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=517753</link>
		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Stars has hit again with another sick promotion. They're doubling every millionth hand pot, with huge amount of VPP bonuses and such. Tournaments haven't been going great, and it's frustrating not to be able to do whatever you want when you want, and to be tied down to a game. I'm going to stop updates for a week and play less tournaments and more cash, because my bankroll is going lower and lo...</description>

		<title>Day 10 - Thoughts on pot and poker</title>
		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=515311</link>
		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Efficiency is an idea I've been dissecting for a long time. I feel in a constant battle against time to accomplish something, to learn, to achieve. Is efficiency healthy? All things in life require balance, so efficiency must as well, and thus productivity must be sacrificed for well-being and mental clarity. 

I have proposed experiments for studying efficiency. For example, I desire to take...</description>

		<title>Day 10 - Slight change of plans</title>
		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=514552</link>
		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Hey guys,

Here's the plan:

I'm getting my new 24&quot; monitor tomorrow, on which I'll be able to 6-table comfortably while browsing on my laptop (which should arrive in 2-3 weeks). However, I only want to play the big tournaments, the guaranteeds on Stars. Therefore, I'll play a mix of 2-3 tournaments with 3-4 cash games, 6-max. 

The idea is I can play more continuously, i.e. not get ...</description>

		<description>Hey all,

A couple of updates. 

This past week has been pretty unaccomplished. I've gone deep in many tournaments, but haven't scored anything big. However, Stars is doubling all the guaranteed prizepools, so I'm going to attempt to take something down within the next few days. I don't know whether I'll be able to play Satuday, since my girlfriend and I are going clubbing, but I'll try my ...</description>

		<description>Hey all,

Played a lot of tournaments today. Got pretty deep in the $3R, but I busted 450/4.7k. I got really deep in it thanks to Obender, who is a very good tournament player. I hope to learn a lot from him.

Besides that, I busted in about 6 turbos with no money finish, and busted a bunch of other things which I really can't mention (been playing poker like 7 hours straight).

Take care...</description>

		<description>Hey all, 

Two night-time musings:

First, I can't wait until my dick is all better. I haven't had sex in a fucking week and I'm going to start masturbating subconsciously in my sleep.

Second, I'm considering playing high poker, 6-tabling the $12 180-man turbos continuously for a day. Thoughts?</description>

		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=512345</link>
		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Hey guys,

Played quite a few tournaments today. I played the Sunday Million for the first time, played a lot of $12 turbos, and the 20 GTD at 7, as well as the $3R. I do fairly well in the $12 180-man turbos, since it's so easy to get down to like 25 players (FT is usually after 1:30). I FT'ed two of them, though I busted 8th and 6th after getting coolered a bit. I also gave up on the 3R bef...</description>

		<description>Hey guys,

First, a catch-up on day 4. Friday, a friend of mine came over and we did some linear algebra. We're both nerds, yes, and we're trying to prepare a bit for a course next semester with a teacher that has to use an algorithm to transform his students' course grade into a relatively correct grade (his class average is like 50%). Afterwards, we went out looking for a wireless mouse, ke...</description>

		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=510172</link>
		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Hey all,

I'm re-writing this post for the second time, so it'll be slightly shorter.

First, I'm happy to say that I finally took a tournament down - a $12 180-man turbo for $594. It's nothing big, but it's a nice start. The turbos are a pretty big luckfest, but I think there's value in playing them since the field is really horrible. I think I'm going to keep playing a few of them for a w...</description>

		<description>Past few days have been interesting. 

I celebrated my first anniversary with my girlfriend, whom I'm currently living with. We've known each other for over six years now, and I couldn't be happier.

Yesterday, I was playing some tournaments, but I had a get-together to attend. I busted from all of my tournaments except the 8+0.8 I mentioned yesterday. I didn't want to be late, so I called ...</description>

		<author>Oxy</author>
		<description>Hey all,

First, let's start off by looking at the hand I posted last time. 

The hand isn't particularly difficult. Most of us agreed on a call. However, the very basic way in which Harrington analyses the hand is, I think, what many players (even good ones) fail to take the time to do.

		<description>Hey all, and thanks for the welcome reception. 

So far, I've watched three CR videos, two by AaronBeen and one by JSchnett. They're very informative, and I have a much better idea of how to play rebuys now. I'm eager to try the $3R, to be honest, because I find rebuys provide for much less volatility since you usually go in with a solid starting stack.

I've also read half of the HoH1 and ...</description>

		<description>Hello to all that know me, and greets to those who don't.

My name is Michael. I've been posting on TL.net for a little under five years now, and on LP.net since its conception. I, like many people here, transitioned from StarCraft into poker. I haven't ever been extremely talented at either, but I was better than average, and that's all you need for poker. 

My main game for the past year ...</description>
