I set goals when I came back to poker in October 2008 and I have been unable to achieve those goals. Along this path I also have uncovered a side of me that I never want to see again when it comes to my temper and self control. I still enjoy playing the game but not with the pressure of multi ...

If anything it probably hinders it because I waste time fucking around on here seeking out sympathy when I should be on the tables grinding. I'm also considering quitting poker at the end of this month. We'll see what happens.

Started another session today and lost 3 buyins real fast. I still have 40buyins for NL100 but I just can't win, FTP wont let it happen. All flips lose all 80/20s. Everything its disgusting and I feel depressed as I write this. Regind NL50 and win $1k I guess.

I can't stop shoving AK into KK/AA to small stack fish over and over, them hitting gutshots all in on the flop, and on top of that I'm getting set mined by regs in 3bet pot and obviously they hit all the time ldo. Kewl. Thanks for the one day tease Full Tilt.

New record cash day :) 8 buy ins. This gets me a little into the green for the month so it's all profit from here on out GOGOGO [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/237b1.recordday.jpg[/img] Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:47:57 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=828337 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=828219 RICHI8 After feeling like absolute trash last night I tore through HEM and looked over a bunch of things for about 2 hours and watched a video. I noticed I was being too aggressive OOP in 3-bet pots and playing too loosely from the blinds, the typical mistakes someone moves up makes. I've tightened up my preflop strategy and am even using a hand chart just to double check things while I'm playing and ...

I'm getting run over. I can hit shit and Im just awful. just gonna listen to drake -successful over and over again and hope maybe some day I'll be a winner. I hate not being a fucking winner. I have so much anger inside of my body built up that I need to unleash. I'm breakeven at NL50/NL100 for the last 70k hands now and I don...

I broke even at cash games (NL50 and NL100) but I managed to play 40k hands while I was working full-time. Luckily I cashed huge in a tournament so that's where all my monthly earning came from and rakeback. Here's my graph, can anyone tell me what happened to my red line? :[ ...

Over the past few months I've had a lot of close friends and family say to me "you haven't been the same lately....

[b]Reputable people only.[/b] Can't put up with this ugly FTP software and riggedness any more. Willing to do multiple transfers if some people only have parts of it.

Full of just absolute shit buckets. Unfortunately FTP would not let me capitalize. Maybe next year. Can't wait for January 1st to get back onto PokerStars Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:57:58 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=825546 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=824731 RICHI8 Not sure how this happened or where it came from but if FTP can take 11 buy ins from me in short then it's definitely appreciated when I get 8 of them back. Happy thanksgiving everyone. On a side note the tables are gushing with fish tonight. It was hard to stop but I'm sleepy.

Classic KK into AA, set over set, two pair losing to turned straight, flush over flush, set to flush. Everything, the whole assortment. I even table selected so well. I had 2-3 fish at every table and most of them on my immediate right. It's just indescribable how I feel right now...

I'm only 6 tabling and focusing on getting reads and finding unusual spots to get value from the regulars. So far so good. My first 2 sessions were killer as I completely pwned. Todays session was long, grueling, and full of coolers but I battled back to only lose a little bit. I've been working on my mental game a ton. I'm not a tilty p...

Today was my first session. This may sound funny but there are seriously more super fish at NL100 than at NL50. I didn't have any problems finding tables with 1-3 fish. It was awesome. I didn't run too good but I'm confident Ill be beating it soon.
