I like this month a bit. It's not by any means a good month as far as incomes goes. I've lost about 20k, running about 20k under ev in various PLO games. Been taking some fairly serious high stakes shots playing up to 50/100 (but just a few hands) but most of the volume is at 10/20. Been running as at 10/20 and 5/10 and fairly good at 25/50. Had a bunch of bloody stupid hands, including:

God, high stakes is so much fun.
On the other hand I've gotten a few things done and I've bought a car. A Subaru Legacy from 2009, which ran me a bit over 20k. It's kinda of pretty and I think it'll end up being a fairly cheap car considering the has a very good reputation of never, ever breaking down and the fuel economy is great. Now I only need to remember how to drive, lol.
I'll probably play the scoop PLO HU thingy this afternoon if I feel like it and unless I make a serious splash in that I'll probably go back down a bit and regrind some confidence. Thinking
of 8-tabling zoom for a few weeks just to get a lot of hands in since I've really been slacking in that regard so far this year. Also it's very low stress, which is nice.
Also, summer is finally showing it's face in Sweden. That makes me happy, it's been long overdue.
Pretty fucking pumped. I used to go bananas everytime Apple would have a show, release a new ipod and somehow make me have a deep feeling they were ahead of the world. Not anymore.
Now we have Google pimping some ridiculous life changing software and user experiences that just show fast we are developing. Before it was ergonomic and small tech gear, now it is deep root life software.
Since this is my first blog post I will start out with a little bit about myself. I am from the USA and I have been playing poker for fun since the age of 16. I started playing online at 21 and I have a fulltilt account. I never really developed my game and have been pretty much a break even player. I mostly have played poker because I just enjoy the game for what it is. Obviously with black friday I have not been able to play or hone my skills unless I decide to go play 1/2 at either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. I have played sporadivally since Black Friday.
Now onto a question for the very learned players from the U.S. that have been dealing with this black friday issue. I have some funds tied up in fulltilt still and was searching to find information on how to file claims or if they have even started the claims process. Is there anyone that can tell me if www.fulltiltpokerclaims.com is legitimate as they ask for quite a bit of my personal information. I figured some people here would know if this is a scam or not. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
got a free 100 euro br offer on a trading site
Like poker bonuses I'd have to pass quizzes from lessons they provide and afterwards need to clear the money before withdrawing by trading x amount of times. Got some weirdly confusing varengold metatrader software too.
questions I have:
1) How much time do I have to spend to start making money
2) Is it worth having it as a hobby? Will the 100 euro be useful at all or is it too small of an amount to do anything. Maybe learn with it and then get capital once I get good?
3) any success stories here and how much money did you start with?
I'd invest max 1hr/day into it, seems fun as you read about companies and they have all these classes for free. Plus chicks must dig when you tell them "oh I just play the markets a bit honey" + doing well must look pretty good on cv http://www.mamamia.com.au/wp-content/...2011/03/charlie-sheen-wall-street.jpg

Lovely hand after the bubble burst!
On a seperate note - I signed up to complete a charity challenge - 40mile bike ride/4hour hike/1hour canoe in 6weeks!
Any sponsorship would be massively appreciated - trying to raise £4000 between us Even a few dollar!
Switching over to omahaha and need a tracking software. I have a HEM2 pro version which I'd be willing to trade for a Small Stakes version of Omaha Manager or the PT4 equivalent.
Since I'm a complete no-name here I'd obv. be willing to trade over mine first so there's no possibility of scam or anything.
So my gf had a run in with the Swedish health care system and came home crying because the doctor told her that it was probably unnecessary to do anything about her back. Then he left without actually telling my gf that they where done. She been to four different physiotherapists, two different chiropractors and a naprapath, most of them asking why on earth no one has done X-rays on her back since it's obvious something is wrong. The last 1.5 years or so we've spent about 5 or 6k on physiotherapy and stuff like that.
At least at two occasions I've really wanted to hit someone in the face due to their complete lack of giving a damn. That's not to say that everyone's a moron, but it does seem like it's fairly random if you get someone who cares or someone who doesn't.
Today, when she came home crying, I had enough. I googled private health care and found some place that had the correct doctors using the logic that if they actually have to do something to get paid, it'll increase the probability that they'll do something. Some receptionist answers the phone and I tell her about the situation. She starts talking about how it's expensive and whatnot before I interrupt her and tell her that I made my first million SEK when I was 21 (which I'm not sure about, but it's close enough, might've been 20 or 22). Now we've got a doctor's appointment in two days. Private health care rules, should've done this at once and saved some money.
Hopefully it's an issue that's not serious, but if they find out that it's actually is something seriously wrong with her back I'll be tempted to see if I can get something done about the guy who refused to actually check it out. It'd be interesting to find out what a law degree, lots of money and ample spare time can do.
So I recently finished my deposit bonus on Pokerstars, so I transfered my bankroll to FTP to get a bonus there. I play 5NL, and have noticed FTP doesn't have that big of a player base right now, but did before Black Friday from what I hear. For example at peak times there's maybe 15-20 tables going at 6max 5NL and on average maybe 8-10. I was just wondering what the traffic was like pre Black Friday, especially at the stake I play. Just curious.
i'm going to argentina for a few months starting in july and noticed the difference between the official exchange rate and the "blue dollar" rate is really huge: http://ambito.com/economia/mercados/monedas/dolar/
from what i've been able to find, it seems like the black market exchange is semi-standard and more or less out in the open. but being a tourist with mediocre spanish i'm obviously a little worried about getting scammed.
anyone on LP from argentina or been there recently who has any advice on this stuff? the different rates of exchange are kind of crazy.
The previous post has been up for 24H and didnt get much interest. Only 5 people interested in some pieces of my self. Unfortunately the H component didnt get sold fast enough and didnt hit the quota I wanted to play.
The fact of the matter is, I really wanted to play the H events along side the M, as you know I have to wake up anytime between 1am-7am for these tournaments and I just dont see the point of waking up at 1am to play a $215 tournament with only me owning 50% of the winnings if I cant play the $2100 along side it.
If there are some serious stakers out there who still believes in me, try and contact me on skype to discuss. But as of now my plan is to play all of the M on my own dime, so atleast when I wake up in the dead of night it'll be somewhat worth it. But if there big interest in my H tourneys, specially juicy field ones like the Mainevent i'd be interested in selling up to 80% for those at a rate of 1.1:1.
My apologies to daut, solarM, Arostt and TJ.
TLDR: only want to sell action in M if I can actually play the H tournaments on the same day, and unfortunately there wasnt enough interest!
hi,
I'm working on my heart beat rate since one month while playing poker.
I have a tool to mesure it that I stole to my grand mother (she never uses it anyway). I'm doing this because I hate having my heart racing when playing a hand, I find it very stupid especially since I play micro stakes to rebuild my br atm.
One month ago when I first tried I peaked at 170 bpm during the session with an average of 85bpm.
Now I still peak at ~170bpm during big hands but my average is ~75bpm so I've made some improvement.
My average while not playing and resting is ~60bpm.
Anyway, the point of this thread is:
Do you have any advices/tricks to maintain a decent beat rate while playing? And especially during big hands?
Also do you, professionnal players, work on it too or am I the only one to care about my heart bpm?
notice that I'm not talking about tilt or anger management. I still feel shitty sometimes of course after a bad session but it only last about fifteen minutes so I'm not talking about that.
EDIT Mate told me that the way I worded the bottom post could compromise the buyers in the event I win the first tourney i play and decide to play all the tourneys to reduce payout.. So i'm going to list all the tournaments I will most likely play. In the event I am sick or something comes up and I cant play it I will refund a % of the buyin you sent.
For the list of H tournaments I'll attempt to play (based on our much action i sell) I want to sell up to 90%
1 $2100
2 $2100
8 $1050
10 $2100
15 $700
17 $ 2100
20 $ 2100
21 $2100
22 $2100
29 $1050
Selling action at 1.1:1 (My your 1.1 for my 1)
Totalling $17500 1% = $192.5$ and 5% = $962.5
For the list of M tournaments I'll play. Only selling 50%
1 $215
2 $215
8 $109
10 $215
15 $82
17 $215
20 $215
21 $215
22 $215
29 $109
44 ME $ 1050
Selling action at 1.25:1 (Your 1.25 to my 1)
Totally $2855 1% = $35.69 5% = $178.44
So havent played too much poker due to family and the whole engagement thing. I'm also very busy with working on my whole website.
Anyway I have 50k hands on a computer in china, but I lost a bit with about 40 buysin behind ev there and 40 buysin behind ev again in this picture. Also been running terrible postflop, especially at 10/20 and 5/10, im basically only playing 2.5/5 and a bit of 200nl PLO till i get my roll back up.
Anyway, Im feeling real good albeit all this badluck hehehehe. I feel like my luck has hit bottom and its about to rebound and hopefully in a big way!
Anyways, im going to be play a bunch of NL games tourneys, selling M tourneys up to 50% at 1.25:1 and H tourneys up to 90% at 1.1:1.
As for which tourneys im playing, it will only be FR or 6max and wont be any rebuys. When ever I play will make an update here and I will verify and confirm that money received (marked how much $ for M and how much $ for H) before the start of the first event SCOOP 01 May 13st will buy a piece of what ever I play in the entire SCOOP series.
So for example, I receive $1,250 for M and $1,100 for H from LPBALLER and I end up playing $5,000 worth of M and $10,000 worth of H. LPBALLER will be getting 20% of ALL my M action this scoop and all 10% of all my H action this scoop.
