vegable

I am seriously peeved at interface between users/software/hardware. My relationship with the laptop is seriously irritating this month. First, I wake up one morning and HEM decides to revert back to trial status. It takes up 4 days of troubleshooting on a clusterfuck of googling, post lurking, email, reinstallations, and finally a teamviewer session with support just to straighten it out. That kind of sets me back goalwise for poker.

Just yesterday my google chrome stops working on start up while firefox + IE works just fine. It takes within 10 minutes of boot time for chrome to connect to the web. My tableninja somehow suffers the same problem, god knows how these two problems are tied, while HEM works fine at the time of start up. Still haven't resolved this one so tiltinggggggggggggggg.

So today I'm rockin to music on earbuds when I adjust my seating with my textbook on the cord. I get suddenly blasted by 10,000 hertz of infernal buzzing on the 3rd study floor of a silent library. Sound stops working, so I reboot and apparently had to choose an operating system now every time?

I readjust my volume slider only to find it sliding down from max to 0 in three seconds flat, sliding like a stripper down a greased flagpole. I open up word document and nothing was repeating so wtf? after a full hour of investigation and uninstalling/reinstalling sound drivers, I found out that I SOMEHOW inadvertently held down the shift key for +8 seconds and enabled stickey keys. There goes study time :

Computers are the biggest time trolls ever. Holler if youre with me

Hey guys its been a while. Well as you may or may not have noticed, I've been mia at liquidpoker for the past few months. Naturally, I've been playing less poker these past few months but heres a short run down on what I've been up to.

October was a great month of poker for me. I had been steadily growing my BR by patiently grinding and learning the game. I got the roll up to a peak of about 4.4k and was on the verge on taking shots at 200NL. from that point on, I thought to myself, "why not reward myself?"

From the middle of October till now I've been pledging for an asian interest fraternity for my University. as a poker player, life behind the 15.5" screen can get very lonely, very fast lol. In attending summer school at uni it wasn't much different than my earlier school days where just going to school/playing poker filled up most of my time. My 2nd semester at the uni was a chance to jump start my social life and a fraternity would do it. as the weeks of pledgeship progressed, the process got exponentially difficult. There was so much work involved in upholding every aspect of your typical fraternity, from wild parties to community service to philanthropy, and of course contributing to the fraternity itself. It was not unusual to give up 10 hours everyday for weeks on end to get projects done.

I made the decision to pledge for an extremely physically and mentally demanding fraternity. Do'nt get me wrong, I learned so very much about myself and interacting with others through this process and had more fun than the past year combined. No details are necessary but they are absolutely nojoke lol. after 10 long weeks, I found myself financially broke and borrowing against my bankroll to cover real life expenses with no income. This week was the final week of fraternity pledgeship, and after giving so much I quit at 95% of the way. It was not something I could see myself putting in any more effort in order to perpetuate their values. It hurt to swallow my pride in deciding to throw all that work away, all for nothing but I feel that personal integrity comes first.

So here I am, completely broke with a wrecked car and a $2k bankroll from poker losses/borrowings. I'm also a little bit wiser and aware of myself as a person. Succeeding with poker is a goal I set for myself first, and I'll let nothing take priority before this goal. I guess a small group of trustworthy friends is better for a poker player compared to eventually having to maintain a network of 1000+ people. I'm moving into the dormitories in 2 weeks to better experience other aspects of this huge university.There will be no shortage of awesome debauchery there

Hey guys.

So Earlier this week I was feeling sleepy and accidentally hit hibernate before going to bed. I figure it would be too much of a hassle to wait for the damn thing to power up and power down properly, so instead I held the power button down in hibernation mode.

Bad move.









apparently when you hibernate, your pc takes a snapshot of your computer's activities which takes hard drive memory or something, and hitting the power button locked it all up. My comp could not get to the desktop and I was forced to take the laptop to a repair shop.

apparently I got a "bad hard drive" and was forced to buy a new one from them. I have to say that those clever chinese dudes are good at not speaky english when I ask technical questions, but great about highlighting shit like "we put in new anti virus software, got your music/pictures, recovered some data that seemed to have been LOST FOREVaRRRR!" but I did not get to revive my treasured personal documents and hand histories which was MOST important to me. I can't help but feel that I got played and felt so helpless against it lol. Did I get played yo?

So I lost everything and will spend a day recovering my shit. I last backed up my comp in March. So guys, back up your comp right after leaving a reply :D

this is a shoutout to all the dudes that have been valuebetting a fish perfectly, bluff raising him in the most opportune spots, and yet he runs hotter than the sun and gets 300bb deep with your money vs a whole table full of sharks.

a toast, de@r sirs, to those fellow poker players who had the discipline (to stay on the tables even when you're 2 hours overdue for an appointment just to get your green back. and it feels gooood man, now to share my hands in chronological sequence

So I just got back from the 18 man tournament. I'm surprised so many people showed up on labor day to play this, first prize was $200, followed by $150 then $100 for third. I started with about 9500 chips, which was about average among the better players who began with 12-20k. The non-regulars of these freerolls began with 1k + any other winnings they had accumulated before. Blinds started at 5/10 lol so splash city. Basically all my low cards were flopping pictures and high paint seeing low flops. I hit some hands trying to force big action but everyone was so uptight wtf? So I begin getting impatient.

at 25/50 blinds, I open ace-queen offsuit in the cutoff 175, and a kid my age who I had knocked out countlesstimes before makes it 350 to go. I call. Flop comes Ks108s. He CHECKS to me so I'm like yeah mother fucking bet!!! 750, he check/minraises to 1500. at this point i'm like fuck this is gonna look super dumb if I fold. Hes got me covered at 11k chips. I look for any reason to peel or make a move at his face and he swallows nervously, very legit without breaking eye contact. I throw a 5000 chip on the table to show him what internet poker is all about son! He deliberates then shoves...I muck and ohhhhhhh god, for the next 5 minutes there was a shitstorm of comments there. I've officially branded myself as a grade-a donator. Totally felt bleh after doing something I would never do, even onlines!

Then suddenly my table catches my FPS fever. I see the same kid overbetting 11k into a 1.5k pot with 77 into 3 people on 855. Some dude calls with trips and I'm going WTF???? Curse of the 5k graychip. Then some other dude bets the flop and shoves turn with 8J on K910 in position out of nowhere, and I think hes actually pretty balanced as far as play goes. Everyone began losing their peanuts and I'm sitting here going oh god wtf, there is a lesson to be learned here.

We go on break and I go into lockdown mode. This white gangsta kid I've been battling hard with (but not flopping in my favor) raises utg. He is super loose aggressive and splashy but reckless to the point where its obviously unprofitable. We are 5 handed and hes got me covered at 5k+ chips, blinds at 200/400. I raise 2600 over his 800 chip minraise and he calls, what?!??! FLop is 642, he checks and I instshove, which I've been doing with bluff hands many times and getting caught, he looks me up and loses unimproved with ace-queen off. Ship it I'm at 11k!!!

Third break finishes, blinds at 300/600 of the final table, 8 players. I peek down at JJ utg and make it 1800. This brash lucky level -1 thinker has got me covered, and checks his holecards befoere I do and goes "now I'll show you how to play some poker" and continues to talk nonstop. He had been chatting casually with a lady next to him and it folds around, he shoves into me and I'm like easy turbomuck.

Let me tell you about live set ups. There is so much stimulation going on that it will mess with your mind a little bit. I decide to indulge in this stimulation, not knowing how to make any use of the information I might gather lol, but might as well play C-list hollywood like any other tom, dick, and harry at the table. So's I starts chatting this 40 year old up, whos obviously way way more than socially equipped to handle any comments I might have. So I smack him with "those chips will look pretty good once I double up", and he goes "no I won't be out, I'll still have some left". Blah blah some other comments to goad me and the table goes "ooooh". I lose the battle of wits and my ego does not like that one bit. I'm boiling like day fresh Maine lobster in a dutch oven. Its high time I show this grandfather clock what web hold'em is all about. No shortage of gamble here!

From an independent overhead perspective, such as one might find in an online setting, folding KK here wouldn't look that bad, with ~9k left at 300/600 blinds. Some table banter from other players sealed the call. it was curtains as he flipped over the nuts.

I went home with an XL t-shirt.

So in the past two weeks I've been attending some live poker events under the United Bar Poker Tour, where 5 nights a week they host free to play poker games at different bars every night. I've gotta say that playing live really kicks ass as far as the socialization part goes. They host two games a night, with two winners. Prizes as follows:

1st - 2500 chips
2nd - 1000 chips
3rd - 500 chips

Winners accumulate chips every night toward the huge winners tournament that is happening THIS SUNDay on september 6. I've been going for 2 weeks so other people have been accumulating for longer lol. so here are my results.

Finished 1st 4 nights in a row. One 2nd place finish. I've got a total of 9500 chips, with some chip technicality when I should have 11000. Chipleaders have about 15-20k. anyway, the players are pretty bad, others are pretty solid nits. With so little hands happening its hard to see what their full game plans are but over a 6 night sample things are beginning to get clear. I've kinda established myself as a monster on the table lol with people fucking flatting me in position n trying to win flops/outflop me. Even getting some hate/jealousy from the bad players while the tournament chipleaders are trying to befriend. The better players are definitely patient I'll give them that.

Its a $500 prize pool so first gets ~$250, 2nd $100 something, etc. I pretty much just attend for fun but winning will not be that easy. I'll let u guys know how it goes this sunday wish me luck!

another 3k hands played today, between 4-12 tables. 5.56 hours!

July was a flippin disaster. My June ended pretty badly but for this bullspit to repeat itself in July just drains my balls. I started the month off with a 6 buyin downswing - boom. Move back down to NL50. Grind some there, and still got owned with bad runnings + megatilt.

Deposited $500 on fulltilt to clear a bonus and busted it all in 7k hands running like poop.

Granted I did play breakeven poker because of the extreme stuff that was happening but this is just rediculous. July

This is so FUCKING ridiculous thanks for reading

This is 21 days of June, as i had finals during the month. You can tell where and how the 10 day break from poker refreshed my game. 4-6 tabling.



Thoughts: I had been playing pretty solidly this month. I've been getting more confident in making moves with seemingly reckless abandon, where the majority of regs would rather lay down their hands rather than try to deal with me. The spots I choose to shit on people continue to be refined and with 75000 more hands under my belt, I should be able to completely master this level. however my leaks need more attention than my offense.

Its difficult to play straight when running super super fricken bad in the past week. I am now 10 buyins under expectation. I expect this to happen. I respect and welcome the almighty doomswitch. I did not expect it to hit me so intensely early in my 100nl experience.

Its not the suckouts that get me, a 3 second King Kong f-bomb quickly dismisses the transgression against his holiness. What gets me is throwing away a buy-in because of TILT, more specifically, the inability to channel the patient fearless decision maker within and follow through with His order. When I lose touch with this beast of a poker player, I become The Mummy whose immortality has been swept away by the King's ghosts.

I've been through this before on lower stakes and to my delight, it hurts only at about a 33% pain level of the first time I ever experienced something like this. But its a prolonged dull pain. Today, July 1st, I run almost -2bi under expectation. Mark my words July, I'm going to explode all over you.
