.5/1 LHE so far
EXCELED, Dec 16 2008
I started playing .5/1 LHE 6 Max around the last week of November. Being it that today is half way through december I thought I would do a review on how things are going so far.
Judging from my stats I am doing pretty well. You could say I am running pretty hott lately too. Im beating the game from 4BB/100 which is probably not sustainable. However I do think I could for sure beat this level for atleast 2 because some of the games are just so soft its crazy. I do have very good game selction as well so that could be the reason why right now it is so high too. It also looks like I might be cold calling preflop just a bit to much. Its pretty close though but there are for sure some spots sometimes where I jsut want to see the flop when I really shouldnt. I mean there suited right? lol. Easily fixable though
It took me a while there to get used to the swings of a new limit. I was really not to happy with the way things wre going when I went on my -100BB downer there. I did a lot of hand reviews during this time and it seemed like I was just running bad.. not playing bad. -100BB downers in LHE are pretty standard though. I suppose I should be thankful that it was only -100 instead of like 250.
If I didnt make so many withdrawls this month to pay some bills and stuff I would be on pace to move up to the next limit at the end of the month. Unfortunatly now I still need to make around $400 before I can have a very comfortable move to the next limit. I am fine grinding .5/1 for a while longer though.
The worst part is that at the end of the month I am probably going to have to make a huge withdrawl from my bankroll because I will be going to school and I will need some extra money to live off while I try and find a job. I was planning on withdrawing it all except for $250 which would give me 500BB to play .25/.50 but I really dont want to go back down to that game again lol. So Im going to try and make about $300 by then end of the month so I can leave $500 on instead and still be rolled for the game I am playing right now. We will see though...
All in all .5/1 is going really well right now and I hope I can keep owning it for the rest of the month so I can stay at this limit when I move away. Anyways Im gonna go look for some juicy tables and try and make 50BB today before I go out. Im heading up to my buddies place in St. Catherines tonight to get fucked right up and wheel some pusssssyyy. They are all finished exams today so hopefully the bars are just rammed. Wish me luck lol.

FPP Points
EXCELED, Dec 15 2008
Right now I am getting really close to having 5000 FPP points. I havent spent any because I really do not know what the best thing to spend it on right now. I have a few questions though about some of the things in the VIP Store.
Right now Im a silverstar so Im kind of limited to the things I can purchase but heres what I have in mind:
$50 Bonus - This is probably what Im going to get just because I want $50 lol.
$82 Step 3 ticket - What can this be used for? Is there any way I can just get the $82?
Byron Jacobs HU DVD - Anyone seen this? Any good?
Im not really a toureny player so I dont really care for the satellite tickets unless I can get the money for them.
Home from Mt. Tremblant
EXCELED, Dec 14 2008
What a weekend it was. I had a blast. I got in the best runs I have ever had snowboarding too. I already did a recap of the first day I was there so I do one on the last day.
My little cousin woke me up pretty early around 830. He was really excited because is snowed a shitload that night and he wanted to be one of the first people on the hills and so did I. I got up, grabbed a quick shower + a bowl of cereal and left for the hills with him and my bro.
We got to the hill around 930ish and it was pretty dead for a Satuday. We took the Gondola up and my brother said he wanted to do a lot of glade runs right now because all the trails would be untouched. For those who dont know glade runs are runs through areas with lots of trees instead of an open hill. This was a great idea and Im so glad he came up with it. Most of the runs through the trees a double black diamond so I was a little nervous because its been a while since Ive been snowboarding through the trees. Its a nice challange because its really tight in there and the snows so deep that if you stop your fucked so you gotta keep a good pace without running into a tree lol. This was the first time I had ever been through a run that had been untouched. We were the first ones through the area we were snowboarding in... it was amazing just carving through the powder. I ended up falling once to avoid a tree... it honestly took me 15 minutes to get up because the snow was so deep. I would put my hands back to try and push myself up but my arms would just sink into the snow. I had to shimmy over to a tree to pull myself up lol. We rode all which there is until 330. They dont have night skiing there. Im not sure why but If they did they would make so much more money imo.
We had a nice early christmas dinner with the entire family that day too. Turkey, stuffing, pie the whole deal. It was really good and I stuffed my face... probably ate a bit to much lol. After that we all opened up presents too. My aunt and uncle baught my lift tickets for the weekend as my present. They go for $79 a day so I was glad I didnt have to pay that. As for my rents... they are paying for me to go to school so I was fine with not getting anything from them lol.
That night they had this 24hr Ski for Cancer thing going on. People started skiing at noon that day and were going until noon today. Since this was going on they had a bunch of bands playing at night. I went down to the village to check it out.... wasnt overly impressed with the bands but it was still fun. Here are the bands that played:
Creature - who the fuck? terrible band.
Kane - Some french band... might have been alright if I spoke french but i didnt understand shit
Mobile - This band was actually really good. You guys have probably heard some of there songs on some of the EA sports games and stuff.
Hedley - This was the biggest band there but also they gayest. These guys are serious fags. You should have seen what they were wearing and plus they are all skinny no talent queers. I could play there shit on my guitar in my sleep. There fan base consists of a million 13 year old girls. That is what there audience was... a million little girls screaming... needless to say I didnt stay until the end of there set.
It was a really great weekend and I had a blast. Glad I got to ride this year because I probably wont get to do so very mcuh this winter since Im going to be going to school and there isnt a Mt. anywhere near London.
Im pretty tired right now... 8hr drive home sucked balls lol. Probably just going to crash and get up early tomorrow and murder the gym. Ill put up a few of the pics I took on the trip soon. I didnt get many because my fucking camera died the one day I was out on the hills. I was pissed because I would have had some amazing photos. Oh well Ill get over it.
I hope everyone had a great weekend on and off the tables.

I got dealt these hands consecutively which makes it worse. I should be up atleast 100BB this session but because of this clown I am up an amazing 15BB. Gonna stop playing for a bit and go eat becasue this tilted the fuck out of me.
Mt. Tremblant Day 1
EXCELED, Dec 11 2008
My Uncle, brother, cousin and I left around 9:00 this morning to go to Mt. Tremblant. I passed right out for the whole ride because I slept like shit last night. My cousins dog kept jumping on me in the middle of the night. I wanted to smack the shit out of the dog but its so small and just wanted to play even though it was 3am.
We got to the Mt. at about 11:00. The hill is only open until 3:30 because they dont have night skiing here... why? No clue. Anyways we got our tickets and went to the gondola. Most ski places Ive been to have short chairlifts. This place actually had a closed in Gondola that took about 8 minutes to get to the top of the hill. There wasnt many people here so we didnt wait in line once all day which was so sick. I heard the lines a so fucked on the weekends so Im going to try and get in as many runs tomorrow.
Anyways the hills were amazing. Ive never gone down this big of a hill and I loved it. Theres so many different routes you can take and it was all fresh snow. My little brother actually got pretty stuck for a bit in the snow once he fell. It sucks when you fall in deep snow because its such a struggle to get up. You want to put your hands back and push yourself up but all you do is sink. He finally got up after 5 minutes of trying. It was pretty funny watching him. I couldnt help him because otherwise I would of sunk in too. I was pretty happy I didnt take any mean spills on my first time out of the year. I felt great out there. It could have been my new board. Its x10 better then my old piece of shit and just feels so much better going down the hill.
It was such a solid day of riding. I was pretty damn tired though when we were done. My legs were burning. I decided to head down to the hot tub for a bit after and relax. My bro and cousin didnt feel like coming so I soloed it. We are staying at a little place called Club Intrawest. Its like a series of apartments. I was hoping to meet some sexy brods down at the hottub and see whats going on tonight but had no success. Instead there was two old bitches sitting there. Good thing they werent in the hot tub outside because I didnt really feel like talking to them. After the tub I came back and my parents were just getting here. I helped them unpack and hten passed the fuck out for about 3 hours. Apparently they tried waking me up for dinner but it wasnt happening lol. I was out cold.
I woke up, had a bite to eat then tried to put in some hands but this internet is just so shit and every once and a while lags like a fucking bitch. I was running like shit and just kept disconnecting too much. I decided to just call it quits because I wasnt geting anywhere. I ended up down -30BB. Looks like Im not going to be getting in many hands here. Thats alright though.
Tomorrow Im probably going to get up early and try to be one of the first people out on the hills so I get em while its still fresh. Ill probably snowboard until 1 or 2 them take a nap. Tomorrow night they have this ski 24hrs for cancer or somehting. They put lights on one of the hills so all you do is ski down all day and night. You get a team and take turns. Going down one hill all day sounds so boring lol. Because they got this event going on there are some bands that are playing tomorrow. I just check out the set list and I didnt recongnize any of the bands/singers other then Hedley. Im not a big fan of these guys... Infact I think there little queers.... buuuuuut there is probably going to be a ton of bitches down there so I will most likely find myself down there tomorrow night. Im going to take a shit ton of pictures tomorrow too. Ill put em up probably when I get home or something. You guys gotta see the view from the top of the hill. Its seriously amazing.
Anyways Im gonna have some beers with my dad and uncle then pass out.

Chillen in Ottawa
EXCELED, Dec 10 2008
Im in Ottawa at my uncles place. My family is going up to Mt. Tremblant tomorrow so we decided to leave a day early and get most of the driving done and stay at my uncles place here in Ottawa and then leave tomorrow morning to the hills. Man I seriously love this city. Its so gorgeous and there is so much to do. Its to bad it took 7hrs to get here because I would have loved to really go out and enjoy the city. My uncle just moved into a sick new place. Its huge. You'll never guess who is neighbour is? Jason Spezza! lol. You should see his place it looks so dope. Heated driveway, sick cars and I saw his wife and she is banging lol. Didnt get to see Jason though because there playing in Chicago tonight.
I havent been snowboarding yet this winter mainly because there hasnt been a lot of snow at all so far. There is a shit load of snow up here in Ottawa. Apparently over the last 3 days they have gotten atleast 30cm of snow. Hopefully Mt. Tremblant got double that so all the runs are open. I have never been to Mt. Tremblant and Im pretty excited to check it out. Where I live the Ski hills are a fucking joke seriously. They are so over priced and so small. It might as well be a fucking toboganning hill lol. If you want to get in decent runs you have to drive all the way to Blue Mt. which is like 2 hrs away from where I live so needless to say I dont get to ride much any more. Its going to be sick to finally get to ride a real hill where runs are over 5 minutes lol. I just got a new board too so Ive been dying to test it out.
Anyways on the poker side of things I just got HEM. I like it more then PT thats for sure. Still trying to figure out a few things but for the most part they are pretty similar programs. Im glad I finally own one of these programs lol it was worth the money. The last couple of days have been really solid for me too. It might be the HEM boomswitch but Ive made about 200BB in the last 3 days which is so solid right now. Im probably not going to get to play much until Monday because I will be snowboarding / spending a lot of time with my family. Next week though Im going to be grinding like a maniac. Im hoping to hit the 1k mark by the end of the month. I would be there pretty much if I didnt make a few withdrawls to pay some bills but I think I can do it if I put in there hours. Anyways I gotta get to sleep because were leaving pretty early tomorrow and I wanted to be rested so I can get in a good day of riding.
Take care folks.

I got HEM. Need a bit of help
EXCELED, Dec 09 2008
So I just purchased HEM because I heard it was a lot better then PT3. I really like it so far. I managed to import all my hands that I had on PT3 which is sweet. I cant seem to get the HUD to work though? Can someone link me to a tutorial on getting this up or just tell me how to do it?

EXCELED, Dec 09 2008
Its about 4am right now and I cant sleep. I woke up with a huge thirst going on so I grabbed a drink and opened up FTP to see whats going on. This is what I see.
First of all I just wanted to say that Durrrr is a beast. It makes me sick to think that he has all this money from a card game and hes the same age as me! That is another ridiculous stack again. Apparently just the other night he won 1mill playing these stakes online. SHIP IT!
Im the kinda guy that if I made it up too like 3/6 5/10 I could grind it forever because I would be happy with beating those stakes. I dont need to play the highest possible. I just want to be able to make a solid income all the time!
Watching this game has seriously inspired me and Im setting a goal for myself. By the time my next birthday comes around (June 13) I want to be rolled for the 2/4 - 5/10 LHE 6 Max games. Its going to be a serious grind but I am going to be putting in some serious dedication to reach this goal.
Wish me luck
