Hello dear reader. My buddy d.Apollo left my place on the 6th August after a 2 month stay and since then I have to stop drinking alcohol. I've had gastroenteritis since leaving the Phillipines about 3 months ago, it's supposed to simply go away by itself, and although it's much better than it was I still get stomach pains now and then after drinking or eating particularly oily foods. I went to the doctors a few weeks ago and they told me that the problem left a scarring in my stomach which continues to get inflamed every time I drink alcohol or eat oily foods and that I have to stop for an entire month. Naturally this was not possible while d.Apollo was here as he is a king of birding and alcohol consumption and I followed him on many a night out. I find myself wanting a drink very often, it's frustrating but I know I have to do this because my birthday is the 8th of September and I want to be able to drink by then without problem, and especially since I have some guests coming around that time.

Poker this month has been pretty damn awesome, I've played a total of just over 1 hour of poker and have made enough money to satisfy myself for the month despite playing so little.



Obviously winning every flip, coolering people and getting called down by weak holdings when I have the goods.

It's nice that I 10k last month playing just a few thousand hands and being up 7k this month playing only 400 hands, because I really am not enjoying the game again. I think it's because of that long stint pissing around on 100nl, 200nl trying to make my stats pretty and being tilted a large majority of the time playing poker. It wasn't fun and I regret that I wasted so much time doing that, and I'm paying for it in more ways than one. Firstly I made 0 money playing 60k hands at those limits, when I should've been playing higher limits and most likely actually showing profit over 60k hands of 600nl, 1000nl so I missed out a lot in terms of $ made, and also the fact that I don't enjoy poker because of playing those limits means I play much less poker now also, again impacting on money made. So I'm really happy that I've been able to make 17k in the last month and a half because I really shouldn't be making much at all considering I've put in like 4-5k hands over that timespan.

Since I have so much free time due to not going out and the lack of interest in playing poker I've been playing a lot more StarCraft. I'm finally beginning to feel like I'm improving somewhat and I hit B+ on iCCup with a 68% winratio yesterday playing ONLY Korean players. I literally dodged non Koreans because it's tilting to play in a laggy game and they're also less good on average, and as I would like to improve I'd rather play the Korean players and have tougher wins and more losses in order to improve than try to get A- with a prettier winratio and not struggle that much. Too many people do that nowadays and I really don't think it's much of an achievement to get A- unless you only play Korean players. A lot of Korean A- players, even with 50% winratio are better than all but the top 5~ or so non Korean/Chinese players, and it sickens me to see people like lastshadow boasting an A- account with a good winratio just because he dodged a shitton of Korean players. Try playing against Koreans exclusively and I bet that guy wouldn't get past B rank, and if he did he would have to play a shitton of games and would have a shit winratio.

I've also restarted playing a little bit of diablo2 on the asia server, it's the game that got me into online gaming as much as I did and I kinda love/hate it for that reason. I can't play StarCraft all day and I'm bored of WoW also so I'll continue to play it a bit here and there when theres nothing else to do. Something else I did to pass some time lately was download an emulator and play some super old games. I finished double dragon the original yesterday, I used to love going to the arcades to play that game when I was like 8 years old haha, feels so funny to play that game like 15 years later.

I'm moving apartments on the 19th, moving into a 2 bedroom place with the girlfriend, but with seperate bedrooms. We both like our own space, time and privacy so that was the reason for that. Anyway, the place is bigger than the 1 room studio apartment I'm in right now, has a nice enough living area and is cheaper than where I'm at right now. It's also only a 10~ minute walk from where I'm at now so I'll probably still be going out to similar places which is a major + for me as I really like this area.

On the 29th I'm going to Japan for 2 days with Susie to meet up with Manifesto7, who stayed at my place for a few days not long ago (His blogpost is here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=99096¤tpage=3). I have to leave Korea every 3 months because I don't have a visa and that's the excuse to visit Japan, but I'm looking forward to trying out some real Japanese food, staying in some luxurious hotel (pictures here: http://www.fushioukaku.co.jp/english/) and seeing the differences between Japanese and Korean culture.

Have a drink for me~ Cheers

Today has been a bad day for multiple reasons. However overall poker results this month have been better, mainly because I actually sat down and played some $5/$10, albeit very few hands, but have still been unable to stop myself from playing more hands lower than higher. Here are the stats:



Pretty funny how whenever I sit in $3/$6, $5/$10 games I continue to run well, play well and have good results, but whenever I play at $1/$2, $0.50/$1 my results blow, my play blows, I run like crap and tilt a lot. I guess I should consider it a good thing, better that I run well at higher stakes than lower stakes when it comes to money, however it kinda hurts my ego to lose to "inferior" players, hence why I tilt so easily when things are not going my way at those stakes. I wish I could just run good at $1/$2 etc so that my mind would be at ease and I could stop playing so many hands there when I should not be. Today I lost $1.3k playing $1/$2, I was tilted before I even started the session which was not a bright move and a few coolers, few beats, few gay board runouts later and I was tilted enough to call down 200bb with 55 in a 3bet pot on 4487, obviously something I would never ever do in a higher stakes game, and just shows me why I lose at these stupid stakes but win at actual decent stakes.

The lack of volume this month is largely due to StarCraft, I've played 200+ games in the last 3 or 4 weeks and created a stream where people can see me playing in First Person when I log on. The link is http://www.LiveStream.com/MidiaN but I don't stream very often and when I'm not streaming it just has some StarCraft2 battlereports on loop, as I needed to loop something in order to get my account verified. I've barely been active at any point in the last 2.5 years and my skills are significantly worse in comparison to other players than they used to be obviously. I've got used to some of the newer build orders a little bit but don't have the feel for the opponent that I once did, and I end up losing a lot of silly games and a lot of games to players who are clearly pretty horrible at the game. This has happened a lot today imparticularly and further bruising my ego today and making me feel like I actually suck at the 2 main things that I'm supposed to be good at, poker and StarCraft.

I've been going out a fair bit this month too, you can find some pictures in my girlfriend's blog at http://www.teamliquid.net/blog/lilsusie . Anyway, I'm off to the gym for now to take out some rage -_-)

Last time I posted a blog, early this month, I had just moved from Stars to iPoker with the intention of playing $3/$6 and moving up to $5/$10 and beyond asap, but I came back to Korea on the 8th and couldn't get any tables going on iPoker due to timezones so I've split my roll across FTP and Stars again. Before coming back to Korea, this month started pretty decently, being up $3k in the first 5 days of the month. Despite only playing 3k hands and running $7k below expectation it made me feel like I was getting back in the groove, winning in the way I used to, however since moving back to Stars/FTP I've been losing again despite running above expectation as you can see here:



I'm still up for the month including the $3k won on iPoker and $500 won in live games here in Korea, but I'm still super super tilted. I spent 50k hands on Stars 100NL over the last 2 months and was barely above breakeven, and now I'm playing some $1/$2 deep on FTP and doing even worse than breakeven. I've definitely ran bad in terms of running into more than my fair share of coolers, and not coolering people very often, simply not making many big hands to start with and not being able to hit shit in a reraised pot. I know that I can still win at $3/$6 and $5/$10, but can't I win at $0.50/$1 and $1/$2? I know I don't play my best games at those stakes, and I get tilted easily because the shit I see is so stupid and yet I'm still losing to it, but I used to crush these games when I was playing them, and I sucked back then. Ugh. I'm interested in sweating people who play these stakes, and also being sweated if anyone is up for that (PM me). Although I think that I think a lot deeper than most players at these stakes, maybe I simply overthink things and end up playing bad because of it, it's like I valuebet thin in a spot because I'm repping tons of missed draws and not many value hands and they end up tanking and calling with better. I bluff in some spots where I'm repping almost no bluffs at all and they snapcall with some garbage that sucks vs my entire range, unfortunately I always seem to have the wrong part of my range in these spots, maybe I bluff more than I think I do in some spots, I don't feel like I am, but maybe I actually am.

I'd talk some about my life but not too much has been happening. d.Apollo has been here for more than 2 weeks and we've been going out often, he's been "birdin'" a whole lot and we've been to the casino a couple of times too. I've finally quit wow and have been getting up earlier in the morning the last couple of days, allowing me to put in a shitton of hands (5.5k in the last 2 days). Also finally been going to the gym some, something that I've been talking about doing for ages but never went more than a couple of times before and never with any consistency. Hopefully I can continue working out, getting up early, putting in a lot of hands and hopefully start running good or figure out if/what I'm doing wrong sometime soon.

I intended to move my roll to Prima, but I couldn't get a deal set up so I moved $10k to iPoker leaving another $10k on neteller to move to Prima at a later date. Anyway so far iPoker has been going pretty poorly, the games are not that bad if you can find 50bb or Full Stack tables, but I've been running so far below expectation due to a continuation of bad luck. Before moving to iPoker when I was attempting to make my stats pretty by playing 50c/$1 on Stars I ended up running about 30 buyins below expectation in the last 10k hands or so, and this trend has continued with me running almost 10 buyins below expectation in 2k hands at iPoker. To make things even worse I've had aces dealt to me _ONE_ time in almost 2k hands, and I'm -$1.3k with KK over this sample. At least at $3/$6 I've been playing more focused and tilt free than when I was messing around at 50c/$1 on Stars so that's a good start despite the results.





d.Apollo, who shall be referred to as Shaun from now on arrived here a couple of days ago, we've been wasting away the majority of the day just nerding it out in my room playing some poker, watching some videos etc. Later in the day the plan has been to get some drinks in and play some UFC Undisputed on the xbox for a laugh, it's kinda fun with friends and drinks. We also watched the Champions League Final where I won $10 from him on a bet, ship it!. We went out last couple of nights and met up with a couple of my friends. Nothing amazing happened I guess, though Shaun did do some strange antics on the way back home, for instance randomly doing pushups in the middle of the road, getting his cock stung by nettles and somehow ordering a hot n' spicy pizza with like 4 full chilis on them. The guy put 2 on and asked "you want more?", but he was some Indian guy and Shaun didn't understand so he just said yeah sure mate without knowing what he said, he was almost dying after he ate half the pizza and I had to help him out with it -_-. I did end up falling out with a couple of my friends last night, dunno if they were acting that way cause Shaun is here and they wanna make fun of me or show off in front of him or what but I got pretty tilted and walked out on them. I dunno I guess it sucks when your friends all have 0 money and they constantly try to make you feel guilty about having any success and suggest that it's the only reason anybody likes me etc, even though they have known me way before I played poker so they prob. aren't being serious, but still they do it so often that it just got to me this time.

Shaun had been talking about some event that he was saving/planning for in his blog and I learnt what that was the other day - he's coming back to Korea with me when I leave on June 7th. It surprised me a little, and although I did have a slight suspicion that his saving up had something to do with his visit to see me, I didn't guess it would be this. Anyway I'm pretty happy about it, will give me more shit to do when I'm back in Korea, which is one of the worst things about living in Korea for me at the moment. Another friend from home, Tom, is also gonna be coming to Korea in June also, as an English teacher so I'll have 2 more people to hang out with.

I feel this Summer is going to be a pretty important one for me in terms of life direction, in Korea I don't have that many friends, and those I do have are not gonna be lifelong friends. I mean I may stay in contact with them but everyone, myself included, is moving around a lot so I'm not gonna be able to see them much regardless. I leave Korea in December and after then I'm gonna come back to England and immediately start searching for somewhere to move, my "friends" are all gonna be outside of Mansfield, but I'm not sure if that bothers me the more and more I think about my friends anyway. I do need to settle down somewhere though and get a better set of friends, right now I really wanna just get a place with some poker players, preferably Ket and others since he's a far better friend than my "closer" friends anyway and it'll prob be way more fun to hang out with poker players than hang out with my broke real life friends who do nothing but try and make me feel bad for having money.

Meh, rant makes it sound like I'm feeling way worse than I am. It's good that Shaun is here, and that he's coming to Korea with me, and I'm also happy with how I'm playing poker lately even if I haven't been playing that many hands in the last week or so. I guess I just needed to reflect some considering I fell out with my friends and the upcoming life changes in the next half year or so. Anyway, that's all for now.

I can't stop. I posted in my last blog that I had finally quit playing 50c/$1 and moved back to my regular games, and then 2 days later I was back at those tables trying to push my winrate on pokertableratings.com a little higher, god I hate that site. I ended up losing 12 buyins and running a good 24 buyins below expectation over about 8k hands and now my winrate there is back to breakeven. However, I have found an escape! I have withdrew all of my money from PokerStars and will be moving to a smaller site, this is something I did when my confidence was running low and I was running bad around about a couple of years ago, and I'm gonna be moving back to that same site - Prima, I hope I can access that site from South Korea or my options are gonna be really limited when I move back there on June 7th.

Right now my confidence is extremely extremely low, and it's not because I don't believe that my A game is still good, just that I have wasted many many hours, about a month of time and 50k hands playing 50c/$1 just to make my stats pretty on some stupid website when I shouldn't even care, and even worse - failing at even achieving that. Looking back over those 50k hands I can say that I played awful, I don't think I played my A game for longer than a stretch of a couple of thousand hands, and was often times tilted from the moment I sat down at the table. Many small things tilted me even further at the table, when I saw people raise my 3bb button open to 13bb from the blinds with 100bb stacks that tilted me, when people would slowplay on like the worst boards ever to slowplay like 77 on 678hh I got tilted, when people would check back top pair on dry boards I got tilted even if I ended up winning the pot, when people flat called 4bets with aces I got tilted. I saw a lot of things that I deem to be either bad in a vacuum and/or game theory wise, people at these limits don't care at all about balance whatsoever and play in a very exploitable manner, and I'm really pissed off that I didn't exploit them anywhere near as much as I should've. I played against a few low stakes LP regs and I'm sure they are wondering how I won at $5/$10 for 5+ptbb/100 over 100k hands and 7ptbb/100 over 30k hands at $10/$20 last year, and frankly, I'm beginning to wonder to, maybe I just ran like jesus. I mean sure I struggle to take 50c/$1 seriously when I play there, I get tilted easily even though the money means nothing, but even so I should be able to DESTROY those limits and I just ended up getting beaten by unbalanced exploitable regs that make senseless plays and don't seem to understand hand ranges at all, and even worse, often times losing money to the vast amount of complete retards (a la 80/10 types) there.

This new start is going to be good for me I think, I will jump straight into $3/$6 games and there are no tracking sites that I'm aware of that tracks Prima hands so I can have the anonymity I would like. I tried to get my ID changed at PokerStars cause I really don't like people knowing who I am at the table (Not that I'm famous or anything, but I just prefer to be unknown), but it's not allowed so I'm definitely happy to be able to get a new screenname and play where nobody knows who I am. Despite wasting so much time, energy and running below expectation I've still made $8k profit in the last month and a half since restarting poker and I know that I can still play a good game when I'm on focus, in a good frame of mind and caring, I just hope that I can regain that frame of mind and my confidence when I move sites.

I don't have any screenshots of stats etc, I deleted my database from PokerTracker since I don't intend to play on Stars for a while and there is no other reason to keep the hands in the database, but if you want a laugh you can look up my stats on that gay site PokerTableRatings.com. Look at me! I can't even beat 50c/$1...!

I feel like my last few blog posts have mainly been about those OCD tendency and my overcaring about my statistics looking pretty, but hopefully this is the end of it and I can get back down to buisness, I'm looking forward to it because I'm actually quite motivated to play a lot of poker lately and am starting to enjoy the game more than I have in the last 6 months or so.

/whine. Peace!

Had enough of fucking around on 50c/$1, I've played like 40k hands there just to make my stats positive, and now finally, they are. I'll go back to playing some $3/$6 6max and $3/$6 HU for a while, and rebuild my bankroll etc. My online bankroll has taken a bit of a beating lately as I've got $8.5k staked, and my bankroll hasn't really been going up much lately since the money you make at 100nl seems like peanuts nowadays, and is probably a huge reason why I was playing like shit there half the time. Hard to take it serious when you were playing $5/$10 like 2 years ago, and never really played below $2/$4 during that time.





Pretty funny how easily you can spot the difference in swings between 100nl and the other stakes I've played at, makes me wonder why I bothered wasting so much time at those stakes. Just couldn't help it I guess, too OCD, needed to make my stats a little prettier. I'm still not happy with them as they are, but I've wasted enough time on them and at least they are positive so I'll give it a rest now.

Life has been a little boring the last few days, although it's nice to be back in England in my own room, I kinda miss the food in Korea and miss the time I spend with my girlfriend. I like spending time with my friends also, but it doesn't feel the same as it used to for some reason, maybe cause they have no money and never buy drinks, and also because the pub that we used to go to sucks monkey balls nowadays. May go check out Angels and Demons tonight, never read or saw Da Vinci Code, but dunno if that's necessary anyway. I've started to get back into more Doom Metal etc lately, like I used to. To anyone who enjoys that type of music I highly recommend Doom:Vs - Dead Words Speak, I've had that album on repeat for about 6 hours today and I'm really enjoying it.

Probably won't blog for another 2 weeks or so from now, d.Apollo will be visiting me around that time and then I'll have something to blog about again, so until then farewell!!

Wassup. I've been back in England for 5 days now and I'm enjoying it so far, feels good to be in my room once more, be around my "stuff", my friends and family. I think my mind has been a lot clearer and, in general, I've been playing a more solid game. Unfortunately I've been wasting it continually, playing a TON of 100NL just trying to make my stats pretty -_-. On that front, I have been making progress though, I was -20 buyins at 50c/$1 6m and -6 buyins at $3/$6 HU a week ago and now I'm -0.5 buyins at $50c/$1 6m and -1.5 buyins at $3/$6 HU so my stats should be in the green soon, and then I can go back to playing $3/$6 6max and working my way up in games I should be playing. I'm just too neat and OCD, I hate to see my stats in the red lol

It's really annoyed me how I've managed to be breakeven over 30k hands of $0.50/$1, I mean almost all of the regulars are bad and there's a huge amount of complete station donks. I've ran really bad overall, tilted a lot, etc but I feel like my long term edge in those games SHOULD be a minimum of 6ptbb/100, and that's just not been the case so far. I guess it doesn't help that I find it hard to take the money seriously since I've basically been playing stakes 10 times as big regularly for almost 2 years. Despite that, I think that these hands may have actually had a positive effect on my overall game, I've had to go back and reevaluate a lot of the basics and I may have even improved from playing idiots, as funny as that sounds.

Here's some updated stats since I restarted playing early April:





Can't win without showdown at 50c/$1 heh, people never fold -,-

A few days ago I used up over 100k FPPs buying stuff, I got 3 £250 amazon.co.uk gift certificates with which I bought a shitton of DVDs, music CDs, some Sennheiser HD595 headphones some other gadgets and also got a 32GB iPod Touch, which hopefully arrives before I go back to Korea on June 7th. Also got a couple of xbox games, Resident Evil 5, which I didn't like so far mainly because of the controls and also got Street Fighter 4 that I've played a lot with my brother, beat him like 11-2 in best of 3s, and enjoyed the game a lot so far. d.Apollo is coming round mine in a couple of weeks, there's def gonna be a lot of drinking, pokering, pool and probably some birding on his part, though finding a good looking girl in Mansfield is like finding a needle in a haystack. Got a friend's birthday party coming up in a week in Nottingham too, which is a much better night out than Mansfield, though it's still a really rough area, might be able to get some pics from the night out that I can upload in a future blog, will have to see.

I staked Myth for 12.5% of the big WSOP event coming up so fingers crossed that he does well on that, it's the first time I've really done any kind of stake for more than $500, so Corwin fighting!

If I had never tried to make any $0.50/$1 videos I would have never lost money and thus my stats wouldn't have been in the red in the first place, and I wouldn't have been playing there for the last 30k hands trying to make my winrate positive, so I'll leave some of you with that feeling of guilt!

Hey guys, last blog post I made I posted that I had moved down to $2/$4 for a while, then built back up to play at $3/$6 again, well since then things have continued to go well, and I'm now up decently for the month, considering how much I was behind. However I've been playing at $2/$4 and $1/$2 HU a fair bit aswell as $3/$6 6max and this wasn't really my plan so I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't stuck to my plan, but results have been good in those games anyway so I can be happy about that. My bankroll is back up to $28k and be rolled to move back to $5/$10 when I hit $30k. Despite a really slow start, I feel really good about how I've picked my game up this quick and things are turning around, however despite the fact that I'll be rolled for $5/$10 soon, I think I'm going to ignore the bankroll requirement and continue playing $3/$6 before moving back into those games. I'm still negative at $3/$6 since restarting and would like to get these numbers into the green, and above 2ptbb/100 minimum before moving back to $5/$10

Here are updated monthly screenshots:





On the last day of my holiday in Phillipines I picked up diarrhea and some stomach pains, and since coming back from Phillipines over 2 weeks ago, I've continued to have frequent bowel movements and pretty bad stomach pains both after eating, and before needing to take a crap. I figured it was just some bug that would go away, but I guess that's not the case. Today, for the first time, I've been feeling a little bit nautious aswell and have taken a crap 3 times, one time was very diarrhea like and the pain in my stomach during that crap was worse than I've felt yet. It also felt like my ass was bleeding, though it wasn't and it's really annoying me, so I think I'm gonna have to go to the doctors tomorrow. I hope it's nothing serious.

Tomorrow the LP poster 'Uptown' is coming to stay with me, I've met with him before and had fun so I expect more of the same when he's here. I hope he can put up with my shit, ha ha ha. . . . . !

I made yet ANOTHER attempt at making a video today, despite posting that I would give up attempting to make one, and again it failed. After I save the video it compresses for a while and I eventually got an error message saying that it had a problem merging the video with the audio or something like that. I'm gonna assume that some settings are wrong, even though I copied all the settings from this thread: http://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-foru..._Free_decent_quality_size_videos.html apart from one thing: The K-Lite codec pack I installed didn't have the x264 component that that poster said is necessary so I had to use a different video compression method, maybe this is the problem I don't know. If someone could fix this problem I would make a $0.50/$1 video. I'm extra annoyed that it didn't work this time because I got into some really interesting spots that I think would help people out a lot, and although I actually broke even in the session I think I played great poker and people at these stakes would've learnt a lot about how to think about some of these situations.

I'm just really happy about how I'm playing right now and, although I'm running like a GOD right now I think I'm playing really good too and hope this continues.

Until next time, so long fellas!

Hey again. Seems I'm getting "addicted" to blogging about my success or lack thereof again, this was one of the reasons I had my blog deleted the first time, I spent so much time merely posting brags or beats and it's all a waste of time and space, but here I am doing it again.

Anyway, for the first time in about 2 years I had to move down limits due to losing money. I've moved down limits before, but it was never because I was losing at a limit, it was always because I made a withdrawal, leaving myself with too little of a bankroll to play a limit, but this time it's because I continued to lose at $3/$6 to the point where my bankroll is down to $12k. I'm using 30 buyins to move up, then move down a limit if I drop to 20 buyins at that limit, so I had to move down to $2/$4. It served as a bit of a reality check to me, I haven't been winning in poker the last 50k or so hands I've played, including just before I took a 4 month break and I'm beginning to think that, although I have been running below average, it's not just bad luck. I have to admit that I'm doing a lot wrong, and so I approached $2/$4 with a little bit of a different mindset, a refreshed attitude and I started to have more success again. I've been playing 6 tables instead of 4, playing a bit tighter preflop, making extra effort to adjust to preflop situations where players are overly aggressive, overly tight or shortstacked players behind me.

I have built back up to $18k and will be playing $3/$6 again later today, hopefully I'll be able to maintain this surge through $3/$6 and bounce back to the games where I feel I should be playing, $5/$10 and $10/$20.

Here are some HEM screenshots so far:





My graph with showdown/non showdown winnings used to have me positive in both showdown AND non showdown winnings, but since restarting over this time my showdown winnings have been TERRIBLY negative. This is because I've been running bad overall and playing bad a lot too. Since moving down to $2/$4 some 8k hands ago or so, my showdown winnings have stabilised at approximately breakeven, which is a good start.

I had posted in the last blog that I would make another video, and I did exactly that. 3 times. However every single time I had a problem with Camtasia saving it, or producing it, despite changing the version of Camtasia and adjusting settings. I effectively wasted about 5 hours trying to make one and still don't have a video to show for it, so I'm not gonna bother. 2 out of the 3 videos I felt were really pretty good too, so I'm really disappointed, but at the end of the day I'm not gonna spend my time making videos that won't even save when I could be playing for myself at the stakes I normally play. I've tried to help people out a lot both back in the StarCraft days on TeamLiquid and here both by videos (I've posted 2 or 3 total) and on the forums so I feel like I've done enough for the community anyway. Sorry this video didn't work out, hope you enjoyed the $2/$4 one as that's gonna be the last one I make most likely.

Until next time, adios.

Hey again guys, gonna write a blog entry almost exclusively about poker this time.

Last blog post I talked about how I'd been doing, how in general I was swinging quite a bit, but the trend was that I've been losing since restarting after a 4 month break from poker. I'd tried to experiment, but largely unsuccessfully, but also posted that I had started to recover the style that I used to play with some success, and this is how it's continued since then. By and large I've been playing much better poker in the last few days, and although results don't show it, (see below) I'm still happy with the improvement that I've been making. It's taken me a while to remember what I used to do well, why, and how it worked, but my confidence has regrown and I think that I can turn around this month, which I'm currently down 4.4k in, and bring it back into the green by the end of the month.



Despite the new WoW patch coming out just a few days ago I've still managed to put in a lot of hands (above is 15th April until now) and minimised WoW time to just raiding in the morning then not logging on for the rest of the day.

In a previous blog I also talked about visiting Cebu, and here is a report and some pictures: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=91548
and also some pictures from my girlfriend's birthday dinner, where some popular names from TeamLiquid and LiquidPoker were present, including Rekrul: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=91469

I'll leave with the note that I intend to make another video shortly, somewhere between 50nl and 400nl, but I'm undecided where just yet. I'm leaning towards 50nl or 100nl at the moment since I made a already 400nl one before (That I wasn't very proud of, but still ...). Leave comments if you're interested with what you wanna see, choices are limits and number of tables, up to a maximum of 4. The video will certainly be 6max.

Laters!
