So i decided to update my blog because some things about poker have been crossing my mind and I want a little time to think about them (writing about them makes me think about them).

New beginning

So I cashed out exactly 1007$ from PartyPoker and I asked my girlfriend to deposit me 70$ on PokerStars since my card don't work but hers does. I thought about depositing myself once my money arrived on my bank account and started playing the NL10$ tables at party.

NL10$

So NL10$ was far softer than I expected (even more than on Party!) and now after 2 and a half weeks or so I turned those 70$ into 500$. Yes, I'm so cheap!!! I saw the tables so soft that I didn't even deposited from my own money

.

So I got 1000$ to spend on shit and bought my gf a very nice wallet and I'm planning to take my mom to dinner at a very fancy restorant

.

Actually it was 560$ but here's the very depressing part:

NL25$

To keep it short, I was doing pretty good here, winning 70$ or so, when this happened:

and

and after this of course got me a bit tilted so this had to happen:

all this are in order but all almost at the same time, in different tables. I know the play wasn't the best and a little tricky but the results would've been the same anyway.

I feel so jinxed about NL25$, I'm gonna take a break until tomorrow. I'm still green on it on PS tho (

!) but only like 28$.

BR : 508$

Ok I calmed a little. Onto the other short subjects.

Poker Books

I decided to buy some from Amazon (gonna use my PS FPPs to ship some clothing with the PS logo (pretty fucking cool) But I'm still not sure which.

Thinking about Aces on the River, some theory of poker (not the david slansky yet, but any of the sort) and a book about tournaments.

Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Full Tilt or NoIQPoker??

Yeah, they both have the same bonuses so i'm not sure which one to choose (or even choose one at all) when I reach 600$, but I definetly want rakeback and I will come back to PS once I'm pretty high stakes (If i'm ever there).

Still undecided

Anyway, I still don't know how to paste graphs (and wouldn't be much useful anyway since I play from 3 computers, depending on where I am, and only have PT on this one).

Gonna beat this fucking NL25$ once and for all, I know I'm better than a lot of this guys but I keep getting owned but 1 2 3 outers... Ok stop whining, I know luck will come my way.

Regards,

David.

C u and good luck at the tables!

Never played on NoIQpoker, but I actually quite like full tilt. Good rakeback and pretty soft games.

ace on the river is a good read. It deals more with poker lifestyle rather than actual technical stuff. I'd suggest theory and practice by slansky over theory of poker (only because theory of poker deals with other forms as well as nl however, though it wouldn't hurt to get both). I'm reading a book called Improve your poker by bob Ciaffone. It's actually really good. I was also reading this crap book I got on pokerstars fpp called why you lose in poker... the book is attrocious I couldn't finish it so don't get it lol

The bonuses are not the same, on FTP your rakeback is detucted from the bonus. THat is not how it is on Noiq (not detucted) and the level of the players is much lower also

Yeah Ace on the River is not really great, i think it's more valuable if you're a live player than an online player. Greenstein describes all the stuff you need to know when u make a living playing poker in Casinos and private card rooms, but not much regarding poker itself. I didn't finish it yet (100 pages left barely) but it looks like you won't learn much in it to improve your game.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt
