LAGstars
Mikae, Jan 09 2010
I live in Australia so i usually play during American offpeak hours on pokerstars.
But today, i decided to play early saturday morning and pokerstars LAGS so bad.
The network status on ps says its 77%? and fluctuates erratically.
So my question is, is this normal for pokerstars? or is it just my net dicking me around?
Dialogue with variance
Mikae, Jan 05 2010
Preflop:
Variance:Hey babe, i think its time you stopped playing...
Me:No damnit, i'm not playing enough, i need to clock more hands to make my prop bet...go away, you're distracting me
Flop
Variance:....i think we should have a talk. Our relationship isn't going in the direction i want. I just...don't know if i want to live my life with a 10nl 4 table grinder.
Turn
Me:...I'll change i swear...I'll make my prop bet and then we'll live like ROYALTY. I'll give you everything you deserve. I can't move up stakes without you.
River
Variance: You know i'd never leave. I love you.
Me: I love you too. Now do your thing so i can start coolering people.

So that pretty much sums up my progress in the prop bet so far. Pretty standard. Would have liked it if i hit more two outers. Once, my AA didn't hold up against KK. I slapped Variance across the face. Doesn't happen anymore.
I've got the rest of the month of make 1k to win the prop bet. I think its doable, i just gotta log more hands. My BR hit 1k today and i've still got 130 in ungrinded bonus. Its pretty hard to grind the bonus on micros, it takes forever. Should be more smoother now that i've moved up to 25nl. The downsides of this limit is i no longer see Arcticbeatle on the tables anymore [the live pro from Australia who bet his friend he could make 40k in a year from 40 bux? He's thread is on 2+2]. Would be nice if i coolered him a couple of times. Or just win like 10 coin tosses in a row.
Graphuuuuuuu
In other news, i'm thinking of running a workshop on how to run good. This game gets alot easier when you learn to hit sets every few hands. That's why i'm a good player.
Starcraft News:
Jaedong, please crush your opponents so i can see their tears.
Also, INCONTROL HWAITING. He is so goddamn badass. I would totally watch his reality tv show if i could stream it. Shame he didn't win it. But i'm rooting for you in TSL. Do it. Pull the trigger. DO IT.
Edit: I cashed in those dollar tourneys. Do they cash me instantly or do they wait for the tourney to end? i won like 4 bux so i can't tell the difference >.<
Grinding Pokers
Mikae, Dec 20 2009
Hi everyone, this is my first blog...ever.
I'm going to blog about my adventures of 10nl. I used to play live/internet poker on and off but since then i've been motivated by salutary to take it more seriously. He staked me 100 bux on cake in July and it took me 2 1/2-ish to turn it into 400 bux grinding 10nl. Uni work / finals took over. But now that i've graduated, i've got 2 solid months left to grind micros before I start at my graduate job.
I've just started going at it again in December with 300 on PS. I'm not like most of the bloggers on this site. Variance is my bitch. Running equal to ev is total bullshit. Running 3-4 bi above ev is standard for me. As such, there will be no whine posts from this blog. If i post a hand history, it'd probably be me hitting my 2 outter on the river.
I would like to post a graph of my progress so far, but i dont have any webspace. I'll probably get onto it some time this week.
So the main motivating factor for me atm is a prop bet i have with salutary. I need to turn my 300 bux into 2k before end of January. I think its do-able cause it includes my deposit bonus of around 250 bux and i always run insanely hot. I think i've got 10nl crushed but need to play more. My win rate atm is pretty average, 4.5bb/100 but that was after dropping 3-4 bi because of a few coolers (me failing to hit my 2 outer LOL).
I'm hoping to bump into Verneer on the tables because he's doing a micro stakes vid series on CR. I plan on coolering him a couple of times and then giving him a bad beat.
Edit: Graph
Standard LOL
