http://zalfor.liquidpoker.net en-us Sat, 04 Jun 2022 02:03:44 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=1176082 Zalfor I come back to LP once every few years. It's been a while, almost a decade. Haven't played poker in forever, I'm definitely a fish now. Kids, job, career, etc. Although I remember someone trying to do a btc poker site back in 2011, I guess I missed out on that one. How is everyone doing?

But seeing as how I keep lurking here I might as well keep posting some stuff here. So, 2010 I graduated from college. I spent 3 months during that summer playing poker, playing golf and spending a lot of time with my friends back in California. By the fall, I started my new job as a trader in C...

XD life is going well for me right now. =) Sat, 25 Jun 2011 07:26:43 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=976400 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=944455 Zalfor Well, considering that I've just finished a really bad session @ nl200, I definitely don't feel too confident about my game. My HU game is great, but for some reason my 6 max game hasn't been faring too well. I think I need to nit up a little bit. Other than getting flush over flushed in a 3 bet pot today, most of my other plays were a bit aggressive, but not bad imo. I'm going to work on my ga...

I'm still accepting 2 more students. If you already got in contact with me, don't worry. Currently on a life upswing, going to be taking shots at nl200 HU now and try to grind out some nl100 HU and nl200 6m Sat, 13 Nov 2010 18:17:40 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=933480 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=932226 Zalfor Hey Guys, I realized the last time I put up a coaching post it didn't get very many responses, so this time I'm going to give a year to date update and reoffer the coaching. I was watching my old nl25 vid that I made over a year ago and It really motivated me to get involved in the community a bit more. So far, I've started full time work and I really want to still involve myself in the poke...

I felt like I was gonna puke halfway thru. Def. not going to do this again for a while. Good thing though, is that I didn't go busto, haha.

PM me if you guys wanna talk about poker today's sesh was just bad. I spewed off a little, and then lost KK vs JJ and then just stopped playing because I just didn't feel...

Damn, i got a lot worse. I don't feel as crushing when i play against the nl100 regs. I need to get my ball sacks back and start playing better. First 500 hands I played were pretty bad, but then I got better as I kept playing. It's all comin back to me now. Overall a solid sesh so...

I'm gonna update you all on how it goes, but right now it seems to be 100% golf. gluck guys.

[if ur interested in coaching, see last post] Life has been good, got better, having fun in china, been going out a lot and having lots of fun with my gf and other friends. not playing too much pokers, maybe 1 or 2 2 hour seshs or so, and I'm winning decently ...

I want to offer coaching for nl5-nl50, but mainly for nl25 and nl50 players struggling to win monies because they have been stuck at the rut where they become rakeback pros or just want to improve so that they can get the guidance they need to beat these games. My background is that I started p...

I think that's because coaching doesn't help a lot of people. In fact, I was talking this over with my old coach groupies the other day and apparently I'm the only one that got anything out of the coaching deal. My other groupies said that their game got worse because of the coaching (lol), but I still attribute that to t...

Mainly not for money, but for my own benefit in thinking out my own poker process. That being said, I think I can offer anyone from 5nl-50nl some really solid advice on how to improve from those stakes and have the right poker mindset to climb mount robusto. Given that it's my first teaching lessons ever, I guess I sh...

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 08:31:10 +0000 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=894009 https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=893487 Zalfor Today I took my first few shots at nl200. I put in my money good in some spots and ran up 2.5BI, but then started spewing off money and decided to quit my session around break even. Overall, I definitely feel that 1/2 prob. has more fish, and overall it's beatable but the regs are definitely more aggressive than at .5/1. Seeing as it the first time I've ever played nl200, I think I have a g...

I put in 600 into pstars a while ago, but ran bad/ on tilt and ended up withdrawing the remaining 400 because i thought i was spewing too hard. That was all the poker i played for May. But now its June and I'm taking a vacation in china. I deposited 600 on FTP 5 days ago and now its apparently a good roll. I'm playing nl100 with relative ease and hoping to move up thr...

I've def. grown a lot as a person over these past 4 years and its time for me to move on with life. That being said, i have a final in 10 minutes and class is 20 minutes away.

My desktop graph is like 17k hands of +4BI poker, so my overall winrate over 25k hands is more like 2500 for the month so far. But overall, my game has improved tremendously. I def. feel like I understand poker at a deeper level and can crush people at my stakes right now. I really love the coaching program as my coach is really wise and ...
