It's funny to see that my last blog post was in 2010... I got a job about 1.5 years ago with an American company (still working in NZ) and finally pestered them enough to visit their HQ in California with paid flights and accommodation. I'm now on holiday on my own and where else ...

There were a few times I wanted to post one of the many suckouts but I just thought eff it, I made the correct decision so I think I made some progress in having the right mindset. Still, losing a lot of times when I'm the favourite takes it toll (br-wise mostly) and I'm not really keen on the sng...

I'll be posting lots of hands from sessions with my thoughts based around applying the concepts from the book so if you think my thought process could be improved on any hands, please chip in. Setting myself a pretty easy goal to play 20 hours o...

I think using it will be fine since I'm not completely horrible at the micros and the sweet sweet ftp rakeback helps if im breaking even. Basically: When you have enough for 20 buyins, play that level then drop down when you are down to 30 buyins of prev level. Then grind back to...

I've now come back to cash and my goal for this year is to become a winner at NL25. I currently have $205 in my BR. Steps to achieve my goal: Grind NL5 to $300 Grind NL10 to $750 Grind NL25 for money (winrate of 2ptbb/100) I'm going with a 30 buyin br management so I have less stress ...

I played 6 max and HU sngs on stars and ran my 15 up to $600 (including 100 from a propbet win). I work fulltime with pretty good pay so poker has been like a hobby. I moved to full tilt in september because of rakeback and promptly ran into a big downswing which continues. I'm down to $200 from $600 and I'm taking a break till...

Well... [img]http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/4956/94168914ma5.png[/img] So now it's back to NL5 for the moment. I'm still commited as hell to reach my goal of reaching 625 for NL25 (BR management ftw). It felt so sweet to hit 250 for NL10 so I guess I'll nut in my pants when I hit 625 :D No...

Like what if some fool pushes me into traffic? You have to be smart to survive in this world. Another obvious one is not using public toilets if you don't have to and not touching anything when you actually have to (use feet to flush etc.). A few times I really needed to take a shit in a public toile...

A while ago at my friend's girlfriend's 25th birthday party I made her cry by somehow insinuating that she was fat and dumb. She only cried and didn't punch me so I didn't have my question answered. Oh well. Anyway, after replies to my previous blog post I'm taking shots at NL5 with a BR of $170. My first session was negative 16bb (-$3) which is not too bad consi...

To help me celebrate, PS rigged the tables for me so I started my 500 hand session with $119 and ended up with $147 including the bonus. I probably would've ended up with more but I was fucking everyone's shit up so I made a few spews knowingly. I was just like, oh it ...

While watching a table and trying to figure out who the retards were, I noticed on one of the tables that a couple of guys were having a bit of an exchange. One of them (we'll call him Cool Dude) was hassling the other (we'll call ...

Well, not really, I just wanted to give teacher Silver(MEGA BR Nit) a bit of a heart attack :P These 2 weeks I was playing NL 2c with $2 buyin and reached $30 so Silver told me a few hours ago to try playing with full buyin of $5. I was quite nervous as 5 goes into 30 only six times. What that means I wasn't sure but I just had a bad f...

Silver got me started with 15 bux on Stars and he's given me tons of help (thanks!!). This blog will chronicle shit that I come across while playing and if you're new at poker you might get something out of it too. My goal is to grind 1/2c till I get 300 then move up to 2/5c, as per Silver's advice. I've found it pays to listen to him. For exa...
