Besides the obvious Sunday Million (and Turbo Takedown), between FT and Stars, what are some good MTTs to try to bink today? Since I'm in Taiwan, I will be flipping my sleep schedule in order to participate (its 10pm as of this post), and figure I should maximize my value by playing some more +ev (but actually -wallet) donkaments.
There should be a lot of good ones, seeing how its double guarantee week on FT. Any recommendations would be good. Buyin is flexible, 6max preferred but not a necessity.
Have been playing really poorly recently, down around 1.6k this week, most if it largely unnecessary. I really need to stop playing poker under sub-optimal conditions - often I'm hungry, not totally focused or mentally sharp and small mistakes with a few beats lead to tilt and it just spirals out of control.
Just finished my last semester exam on Operations Research, so will definitely be buckling down and grinding the tables during Chinese New Year break. Bought new lights and an air purifier for the apartment so the stage is set for a fresh start.
That's it for now, will post graphs and everything at the end of the month. GL to all.
Ninja edit: Almost forgot - as customary to all of my blog entries, here's a link to directly watch the 08 Olympics Badminton Gold Medal match: Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei (the #1 and 2 in the world)
I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker! The WBCOOP is a free online Poker tournament open to all Bloggers, so register on WBCOOP to play.
Obviously standard but pretty crazy for a relatively small sample size. Just whining a little bit. Also wanted to rebump because everyone should watch the doubles game I posted at the bottom of my November post - it's really entertaining and probably one of the coolest games of all time.
OK month, again, didn't play enough, but its okay. Made about 1.5k on stars, but it tilts me how HEM shows the Euro hands in US dollars so won't post a graph. Ran a little bad but that just makes last month fair.
Will start to really push myself on moving up, that or at least learning PLO.
This is a friggin amazing game played recently, one of the best doubles matches I have ever seen, so if you have any interest in badminton, watch it - you'll be impressed.
Goals for next month:
o lose 4kg
o ~40k+ hands
o pass Operations Research (anybody the nuts at this class?)
It seems like for a while it hasn't been possible to datamine observed hands on FTP (ever since they started using the new replayer that doesn't show an HH)
However, I realized that in the Isildur threads people are not only posting HHs, but are even showing graphs with EV lines? How is this being done, and if this is possible, then surely datamining is still possible? (How does PTR do it, etc.)
Yeah, I played a total maniac HU, he's was fucking ridiculous.

He sucked out so many times and managed to go from 50->100->200->400 from a hat trick suckout. All in all though, slammed down the hammer and am obviously pleased.
