From 88$ ...

At the weekend I couldn't play at all because I was at my gf's place (as I'm nearly all weekends) :/

So basically I've decided to change my game from FR to 6max. Reason is obvious, FR seems to be really just waiting for nuts. Because I have quite nice BR for NL25 I've started there. I know that it will SERIOUSLY pause my progress in building BR but I really want to have fun and play some real poker not just waiting at FR so I will sacrifice some time to learn 6max to have more fun (+many ppl say it's more profitable)


I'm too much overagroing and c/betting on flops, I lost nearly 60$ on that. It isn't that easy to change from FR to 6max but I will work hard and analyze my game to be good there asap! I just need more patiance and BR managment (no, going to NL50 6max wasn't great idea with my BR!)

After little readjustment to 6max I've started to feel better about my game there and started to gain some $$$ but then suddenly (ALAS!) bad beats came to my town plundering every pot that should have been mine. So with AK on AKx flop I've got called by QQ only to get rivered for flush. Or holding QQ on xx6 flop get called by K6 and river card is ....... the King !

I've let of some steam and hopefully I'll play some more games tommorow.

Yesterday I've decided to make a minor investment. I've cashed out precious 200$ from my BR to buy a new 21`CRT monitor. It's because I have now 17` and 15` monitors (how professional !!) so I want to improve number of tables which should give me more money (with those 6 tables I'm really bored now)

Today I've played for about hour, first I've got to somewhere like +20$ but then several C-bets failed and then I've lost 1bi on KK on AAx board where my oponnent luckboxed AQ. Another buyin was with AK on AKx board when my oponnent had KK.
The first one was maybe mistake but this AK hand was just bad luck.

So with that investment and bad session my BR was hit badly down to 800$ (I've got some 50$ bonus ahead). But I think it's still ok, I will play some NL25 until I have about 1100$ then I'll play NL50 again.

In this weekend we made with my friends a little LAN-home-party filled with playing Starcraft, Natural Selection and Counter Strike. It was pretty damn good fun there but there wasn't internet ( friend's grandparent house) so I couldn't play any Poker .
Today I get back home and played about 2 hours of NL50 and even with some errors (like calling pot bets with QK on Kxx board when my guts were telling me my oponnent has AK (which he had)) I've managed to get one and half bi up.

I've discovered major mistake in my NL50 game, I tend to bet too low because I'm kinda scared of that much money there and I'm still accustomed to NL25 range betting.
Second mistake is that I don't know how to play 2pairs properly. I tend to under-value them and I'm scared as shit of better 2 pair or set, which considered that with 1 pair I wont be scared is pretty ridiculous. But everyone good had to learn in past,....so I'm learning :D (or try to )

Today I've made it ! After clearing bonus at empire poker I've got 1000$! To be exact 1003$.

I've played a bit of NL50 just to evaluate how Tough it is there. Now i'll tell you little secret. It's very very easy! I've run very bad session when I've run into several Bad beats AA vs AK board xxQJT and so on but mysteriously I've managed to end up like +1/2 bi which is nice concidering what I went today through.

I will try tommorow or later today 4 tabling NL50, it is so great feeling to play for 2x more My biggest pot so far was 97$ which I never saw before (anything close to it ! . I know this can and will sound very silly to everyone who plays mid or high stakes but I'm happy about it

I hope I will never have to grind NL25 again but If I will drop few bi in NL50 I will quickly move to NL25, dont want to fuck my BR by some tilt issues.

I wanted today to play (obviously) PP and Mansion, but for some strange purposes PP seems to be frozing with my account every like 5 minutes so its unacceptable to play there.

My friend told me about up to 150$ bonus at Empire poker which I'm heading to clear (how nice is 3 hours long cashing out from partypoker )

I kept/keeped (past tense of keep is kept or keeped or?)grinding Mansion poker which seems to be pretty easy. I've played about three hours and managed to grind it to 910$ total so I hope that tommorow I'll manage to grind to magical 1000$ BR

So today, after 6 days and few hours of cashing out from Pacific, I've got my money. As mentioned in previous entry I missed because of this 100$ party promotion. So my plan is like this I deposited ~700$ at mansion for that 700$ bonus then cashed out 350$ to move it on PartyPoker (where I already have like 60$), because on mansion are like 2-3 tables on NL25 so I shouldn't keep entire BR there.


So I'm now at 36% rakeback 6700$ bonus at Mansion + I keep grinding those fishes at partypoker, there are some completely ridiculous games that shows how easy it is there. I hope I've developed my game and progress with my skill a bit I have a good feeling about my game and lots of self confidence.

I've played for like 1-2 hours and managed to crush it pretty much.

This is one hand I've posted just to let measure skill of NL25 pp players

Here is most part of my conversation which should cover how frustrated and sad I'm about this

Nikole2: When I reviewed your account I saw that the funds were processed back to your Neteller account on March 4th 2007 so you should have then by the end of March 6h 2007. Nietherr: Oh my god.... Nikole2: that is the standard processing time frame for returning funds to your Neteller account Nietherr: let me type something please Nikole2: sure go ahead Petr. Nietherr: now let me be honest, there is deposit bonus on other site that I really wanted to clear(100$ bonus on PP ), I knew how slow processing of cashing out from pacific poker takes so I've cashed out on Wednesday. Now, let me say that on most another sites like partypoker or pokerstars it takes 2-5 hours at most ! . anyway... wednesday was 28th of February, the deadline when I can deposit was 5th march 11:59 PM... So I thought I gave it very much time... But as it turned out, because of some problems I dont understand I wont be able to clear that 100$ bonus which isnt SO much but it's really helpfull for NL25 player Nietherr: it is really pityfull I didnt expect much from your "cash out" department but now I'm not even dissapointed by how long it takes but also I'm 100$ poorer Nietherr: Howgh Nikole2: I am sorry for your obvious frustration by this situation Nikole2: Here is my suggestion Petr Nikole2: as you obviously feel very strongly about this issue, I will forward these issues to our Managers attention. Nikole2: How does that sound Petr? Nietherr: very nice, thank you very much for your care about this situation, I really do aprecciate it Nikole2: you are most welcome Petr. You should get an e-mail response from our managers within 24-48 hours Petr.

Damn I'm looking forward to that manager mail. If it would be those automated stuff like "srry if u would have any problem contact us again blah blah" or if they would really do something about it because come on, 6 days are SIX days

Today I've finally cleared bonus at Pacific Poker so I can get out of this bloody place full of fishiest fishes that I've ever seen. I must say that if they would have more max tables then I'd stay there and continue to "print money" there. Tommorow I'm leaving to visit my GF until sunday so that 3day of cashing out from pacific poker won't hurt me at all.

Other plans? I wanted to go straight to 36% rakeback at mansion + that 100% up to 1000$ deposit bonus but there is apparently some bonus on PartyPoker so I'll clear that first.

Today I've run again pretty good if I imagine that 30 hours before I have 434$ then yesterday/today night I had 610$ and now I have 684$ then I must say its really good . 10 bi is nice and I didn't run extra good, it's just so easy there .If you don't run really bad you have to make money..pitty that 4 tables maximum

If I would have regulars, they would be curious why I didnt post for 10 days. So let me summary last days.

With my shiny BR of 640$ I've continued to play those NL25 cash-game tables full of donks @ mighty pacific poker. But Mrs. Variance and Mr. Luck decided to play with my BIG ego and confidence. I've run into many bad beats for about 3 days straight, it was like I couldn't find a way and hand with those I could beat my opponents. To make things even worse I went 2 tables nl50 which luckily I very soon realize was a MISTAKE and after losing 40$ because of (again) bad beat I GTFO. I didn't want to start to tilt (which I had to already) + I didn't felt like playing poker at all, at BR mark of 420$ (-8 bi ftw !) I've decided to sto playing for while and let of some steam by playing Broodwar and some Dota + w3 (how could I beat lvl19 when I played if for third time ? lol ).

Today armed with couple of

and


I've started at 5PM CET to play again. Now its 1 AM CET and from BR 434$ I'm currently at 610$ but I'll keep playing for a while because mr.Red Bull won't let me sleep for a while.

Thanks god they didn't let me cashout from pacific poker because those fishes there are so great at giving away money. I don't know what to say else about this so let numbers speak for themself


18th February 07
BR : 607$ (+83$) (about 50bb/100hands !)
stakes :0.10/0.25$



On the other hand, we have discussion with Joe about where to move after completing bonus thingy at pacific. Do you guys think that UB competition is not too tough? I have 2 options I think, first is UB (100% deposit bonus, 30% rakeback) and then Joe thought that Mansion would be cool too (same bonuses and 36% rakeback).

I dunno I'd certainly want to try UB because I like that software but if mansion would be better with softness and rakeback which are 2 main factors while creating proper BR for higher limits I should maybe go there
