Haven't blogged in ages since I announced I quit. Long story short to anyone who is wondering, I started back in September with $44 and have since made around 15k. Really have been working hard and it's gone well.
Anyway, just so I dont forget this session I played today, it may literally have been the most ridiculous/crazy session I have ever played in my entire poker career. Literally 5 different times today a guy sits against me with a full or slightly less than full stack and proceeds to bad beat/cooler me into the ground that they all managed to build their stacks up to or around 700 BB's. The emotional roller coaster was just ridiculous, I ended up getting pretty tilted and frustrated. However, despite feeling nauseous I never once closed a single table. Miraculously, only one of those 5 people sat out and walked with a $700 stack. Every other guy fought me to the bitter end. To my credit, I ended up beating 4 of them and retrieved every penny and even a bit more from a few of them. It felt great. However, they all happened 1 after the other, so the emotional roller coaster went from - Feeling great to feeling awful 4-5 times in a row. At one point I was down $1400 and I'm not even playing nl200 right now. My graph today looks pretty funny. 4 of these insane and long matches were on pokerstars. It was weird because I swear to god people run up massive stacks ONLY on pokerstars. Literally like 14 of the last 15 times a guy has ammased a gigantic stack at my expense has been on pokerstars. It's annoying, but at least this time it ended in my favor. I ended up $120, which is VERY satisfying after being down almost ~15 BI's. I made up for the one guy who walked(and a bit more) by beating lots of other people on anywhere from 1 to 4 tables at a time(1 was always one of my big deep stack matches).
So basically after multitabling HU for around 12 hours today.. it's time to sleep. I'm very happy with the way this turned out and learned A LOT about how I should adjust and play in 3bet pots. I'm happy I'm able to persevere through tough times and not give up as well.
If you have random numbers in your screenname...probably a fish
If your name is not spaced or capitalized...probably a fish
If your pic is your dog or yourself...probably a fish
If your pic is of your baby/children...omg, you are a fish
If you are from russia...99% of the time you are a fish
Im sure there are more prejudices I hold, but are they valid?

Long time no blog. I didn't play a hand of poker for a year now and feel pretty good about it.
Much has happend over the year.
Finished my first major in international business and almost finished my second major in finance and accounting.
Got a job in a large bank as an analyst in the business intelligence team.
So all is good I guess
But this post is about programming! Recently I started learning computer science and I love it! It gave me a whole new perspective when I think about solving problems. I found an interesting video that shows why everybody should learn to code:
I have been learning how to programm for 6 months now and I am finally getting to a point where I can write something usefull
I learned Python, HTML, CSS, and Javascript and am all set up to write web aplications and I hope I will be able to write a simple site by the end of the month.
If anybody wants to learn programming I recommend some MOOC (masive open online courses) like MIT OCW or udacity.com
fucking stupid shit i hate it
lose with every premium hand every time now
was able to get to step 3 and make that dollar once every while, now I just lose.
Lose lose lose lose lose
I can't wait to play a legit AMERICAN LEGAL site.
Maybe that will take away the bingo syndrome.
ive got a red line that way above the other lines, and a blue line thats way below everything else
Been a while since I posted on here! I have started to dabble back onto some poker in the last few months, however, I don't have any bankroll left.. after spending it all in the last few years. Though, I have 3 months left of my final year of my degree.
I am looking for someone to stake me on FTP and Stars mainly for HU NL cash games (0.5/1 to 2/4, maybe even 3/6 if you can afford) and the odd 3,4-handed when necessary.
Also, looking for tournament stakes up to 200 dollars per tournament, especially on the weekends. I am able to play weekday evenings and weekends. So average about 25-30 hours a week.
Let me know if anyone has some ideas or is interested!
A new Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef highlight video that came out two days ago.
This is the best Manhoef highlight that I've seen so far.
Additional information: Manhoef went 3-0 (plus 1 NC for having a serious gash on his shin), in 2012. His most recent fight was an impressive TKO via knee to the body vs. Dennis Kang at DREAM 18.
hey guys, i want to play this special sunday mill today. its been a while since i dont have any $ online and my ccard wont deposit.
my poker profile: i played professionally for 5 years (am now an entrepreneur/fashion designer). lol. i was a nl400-600 reg. i even made a sundaymillion FT back in 2008, took 2nd also had some wcoop deep runs, played in 5 EPTs (never cashed ), etcetc
so, i think i am a good investment. i am looking for a 50/50 split, also for motivation sake
Poker in February was fairly bad. Played probably like 10-15k hands and lost a couple of K's. Was up 15k or so mid month and then proceed to drop it in a couple of bad-ish 10/20 sessions. Annoying. Played a big live. On ~400€ PLO event with something like 40 players in which I finished probably 2-3 spots away from the bubble. Did not get any hands but out of the ~25 people I was at the same table as during the event I found 1 person who I considered half decent and in all likelihood someone who had played the game before. Then I played some 1.2K NL thingy which I did decent in until I ran 80 bbs, or 2x avarage, into topset with my 88 on T84ss against some guy who I had tangled with a bit. I also played some live 20/20 SEK which is something like 3/3€ or so some Saturday night since my girlfriend wanted me to tag along to the casino to see some friends of hers.
Played one hand that wasn't super standard. Before this hand I sat with 3000 SEK or so after having shipped over a squeeze while talking like a mad man and overall made my best "I have AA"-impression which got me folds. Young guy who seems to be friendly with some good tournament players and I've seen in some highish stakes tournaments (like 1-1.5k buy ins) raises in CO to something like 5 or 6bb's with like 200bb behind, some other 25-30 y/o who seems like he is some kind of "live reg" and sits really deep calls and some fish calls. I call BB with T7ss which obviously is questionable. Flop is A87 rainbow with a spade. I decide to lead to get rid of the guy I suspect might be good, he mumbles something confused and the live reg calls. Fish folds. I think I put something like 450 into 600 or so but I'm not completely sure but pot is ~1400 and I've got 2400 or something behind. Turn is 9s giving me a straight draw and a flush draw to go with my seven. From the moment I put money in the pot on the flop I've started talking a ton of random crap with some tilted fish who isn't in the pot and also made a couple of weird claim about my hand. I keep doing that and put 900 into 1400 leaving me with 1500 or so behind in case he calls. Likey y/n? I can't play NL lol.
The weight bet is going fine. In 4 weeks I've lost 7.5 kilos and I think I'm losing just over 1kg/week right now which is about the right amount from my perspective. I'm still fairly low on energy from time to time but I feel fine and I'm seldom hungry thanks to my paleo-ish diet. Still favour a lot of fruit and stuff rather than fat but that's mostly to keep my calorie intake very low. Getting down to ~90kg by late June would be good for me and then maybe something like 85 during late summer would be ideal.
I'm also very happy that my small bet on Okami over Lombard worked out. Was a little worried in the third but Lombard is simply not a very smart fighter and I suspect he has some cardio issues. Dude's just a brawler and he has too much muscle on his frame. I was right when I wrote:
"Huge size difference, Okami having much better wins the last few years and the fact that Lombard haven't really beaten anyone in the top 10 makes me think that Okami might decision him.
Also before the KO (that he probably learned from) Okami was schooling Boetsch who got a fairly close win over Lombard, so unless Lombard brings his real A-game I don't think he'll actually win standing unless he gets the KO."
UFC 158 seems like it'd be hard to bet on though. Maybe Nate over Ellenberger if the odds are good enough, but I'll probably just end up watching it and rooting for Diaz. UFC on Fuel TV: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi will probably have a lot more good opportunities to put bets down. I think Robbie Peralta over Akira will be a fairly safe bet if the odds are reasonable and Ryan LaFlare "should" win over Alloway. Might wanna look close at Amagov vs Spång too. Unless Amagov decides too grapple Spång will be a live dog.
I didnt blog about January cause i played like 9k hands only ( exams took a lot of my time ). In February i felt like there were many coolers for my opponents.
But obviously im very happy with my results and i hope i will stay concentrated every time i sit down to have a session. ( and not just focused when im winning )
