Carthac, Jun 17 2010
Got 3 more invites to a private torrent site. If you have a good number of posts and are still somewhat active, post here.
I will basically pick who I want to avoid 10 post counters getting one, but the invites will most likely go to whoever posts first. Good luck!
P.S. To make this better, post a funny/random/sexy image!

Been happening a lot to me over the past 2 days playing NL25 rush. People calling with simply garbage hands out of position and just catching. My 3bet is somewhat high playing rush as I try to take advantage of the infrequency I see some people, but today it seemed I could not get any credit for my 3bets, even when I had monster hands such as this.
I adjust of course to the regulars that have a good number of hands with me, but I still 3bet my wider range with people I have fewer hands with. Should I adjust to everyone and narrow my range or chalk this up as 3bet variance and continue with my current gameplan?
The fundamental poker qualm
Carthac, Jun 12 2010
Why does it hurt so much more losing an all in shove on the flop with 16 outs vs top pair crap kicker against a complete donk fish than an extremely talented player that you admire/respect?
Same move, same odds, same pot, etc. Players may have gotten to the decision in different ways, but the situation is still the same.
Ego? Self image?

First 1k I have made at poker since I started at NL10 with 60 dollars in January (technically October but I only played for like a week with $30 then quit when I lost lolol)
Pretty glad I stuck with poker. Not for financial aspects as I havent spent any of my poker money or anything, but for the enjoyment I have gotten out of it so far. Never would have thought before that poker had any sort of meta game or strategy to it. I thought it was the equivalent of a slot machine with playing cards O_O
TLDR version: /brag post and trying to justify it by saying poker is complex but fun
edit: adding graph from the past 1.5 weeks at NL25

I bet A-9 suited in CO, BB calls
Board comes 2-4-7 rainbow, Villain checks I check behind
Turn brings another 7. Villain basically throws his chips and bets pot, I call
River brings a blank. Villain stares at me for a while, then bets about 1/2 pot, I call. I show him A-high pretty confident that I'm good, and he just about has a shit fit and mucks.
A few hands later, he asks me "Were you on a draw?" and I respond "nope." He grabs his drink, says somewhat under his breath "the donkeys around here are ridiculous," and walks out wearing his shirt that says "CARD SHARK" with a pic of a royal flush on it and his gay fuck phil hellmuth imitation glasses.
Just about made my life complete with that :D
Sick Heater
Carthac, Jun 01 2010
After my recent bout with running bad, while also playing pretty terribly in certain situations, I played NL25 rush to get my rakeback above 500 for the free deucescracked account from LP rakeback (lol liquidpoker plug), and everything just clicked.
Ended up going on an 10BI heater(started the day losing a few BI at NL10) after being just absoloutely crushed by the limit a week ago. Lolfishluck or me playing well? Really dont care, guess I will find out later. Just happy to be on the +side for the first time in a good amount of hands
If for some reason image not working; http://img297.imageshack.us/f/carthac1.jpg/
Where to go from here?
Carthac, May 27 2010
So over 2 days, after moving up from NL10 to NL25 after I had accrued a $560 roll, I have lost over 12 buyins at NL25 and am sitting on $250. I have no idea of what to make of this. I definitely had a pretty unlucky run, but can it be all bad luck? Is it most likely poor play mixed with terrible luck?
My question to LP: Do I continue attempting NL25 only having 10 BI's left, or do I drop down once again and grind up until I reach enough buyins to take another shot?
Man this sucks. As far as my poker game goes, I literally feel like a deflated basketball
TLDR version: Got smoked at NL25, crazy unlucky but can't rule out bad play, do I drop back down and grind back up again?
Whos mother did I fuck at FTP?

Pretty rough first day for me at NL25
Carthac, May 27 2010
Pretty rough first day for me at NL25. Even with all the variance, I still felt I played pretty well. However, a few of the early beats made me tilt off a few hands I really should not have. I actually climbed back up to where I had started the day, before plummeting back down another 7BI lololol
Wish me luck tomorrow guys!
