Bluefire rules by DustySwedeDude, August 17


So I have a credit card. I don't like buying shit on credit but it's golden and looks cool. And I got it for free since I had a lot of money in the bank (and still have some of it left! Yea! Go me!). The bank wanted me to do various crap with my money but everything they suggested seemed like it'd be a great freeroll for them and fairly crappy for me so that card was pretty much the only thing I got after having a meeting with my "Personal bank contact" or whatever the hell they call it. Anyway, I figured that a golden card should attract chicks. That was the plus side. The minus was that I was, and still is, in a committed relationship. Whatever, maybe I could get sex more often, right?

Anyway, turns out the damn thing is useful for something. My regular card did not work with bluefire poker so I just used this card to sign up since my man crush on Galfond could not be cooled down by anything less. So basically the only thing on my credit card bill each month was like 29 US or something for my bluefire subscription. Today I got another one and it struck me as odd that I still gave them money every month despite not really be able to remember that I ever renewed that thing.

So I sent an E-mail and asked them.

They replied that "oops, we've been taking zee monies for 4 months without giving you anything for it... Can't pay it all back due to anti fraud regulations and crap, do you want a free 6 month subscription?" I did want one. I'm happy with that deal. They replied really fast too so I just wanted to state that I like how they handle things. Also, now I can finally cancel my golden card and only use it to have something to flash in my valet.

Other then that poker is going ok. Unibet has turned on the ethernal doomswitch and I keep turning top2 + flushdraws 150bb deep vs bot set and losing every damn time. Up a ton on stars though, despite running below equity. I think something like 14k+ plus a bunch of points. Not bad for someone who played PLO50 a couple of months ago.

Did BJJ today. Felt tired as crap but pulled through due to "tired Dusty stubbornness". I'm probably the most boring grappler in the world when I'm tired. My gameplan when tired is something like:

If on my back: Go to rubberguard. Find out I'm not having shit for angles. Remember that I'm limber as fuck and go for (and mostly fail) omoplatas anyway.

If on top: Put lots of weight on top and hope it's uncomfortable. Wait until they fuck up. Go for, and mess up due to being slow as hell, armbars and try to get into full guard when they turn shit around. See "If on my back".

When I'm not half dead I'm not doing stupid rubber guard shit, but my top game sucks anyway. I seriously managed to miss enough armbars from month that I'm fairly sure I have a higher success rate just going for mounted gogoplatas, and that sure as hell ain't a solid "go-to-move". I have a hard time thinking I'll ever be more then a halfway decent grappler, but it's fun as hell.

One of the people I roll a lot with is a girl who's a 60kg purple belt. I'm about 100kg. I should probably weight like 85 if I was in good shape, but it's still a big weight difference. She still owns me for the most part due to her being really, really good. She lost the finals of the Swedish championships in submission grappling last year to some girl who went on to survive for something like 7 minutes against Kyra Gracie in adcc later that year. Anyway, she's in the hospital now due to running around at work with a pencil in her mouth(!). Dunno what the f happened but apparently they need to sedate her to fix her mouth or something, so that's kind of weird and I hope everything turns out well for her. While she looks like a monster she's actually really nice.

Debut at poker by Sacr3D, August 17


I started poker back in 2009. I didn't have a lot of money so I kept depositing 50$ to try and grind it up all the way to major money. I didn't have the patience to do NL2 because I thought the money was too low. I eventually played a bit of SNGs and saw that I was winning more than 50% of them so I kept playing and made a few hundred of dollars.

At some point I played a SNG triple shootout tournament and won about 350$ which gave me lots of confidence and helped me out switch to cash games and do NL10. Again I somehow managed to grind until NL100 but thats where I started to lose. Problem is though I had major poker leaks especially since I had no job at the time and that 2000$ I made from poker was the only money I had. Made me tilt and I started ignoring my BR management and eventually went busto. I did learn a lot since I played like 300 000 hands in a year. The moral of the story was to not play poker when you don't have a freaking job.

I stopped playing since then but I went to Vegas this last month mainly for partying. Of course as any poker player here there's no way you wouldn't try to play poker there, So I did. It was my first time playing live poker and even though I lost 200$ at the Venetian (Didn't want to play more than that) I found it extremely fun. A lot also happened since 2009, I'm now wiser and have a good paying job. So I decided to give it a second shot at poker.

I deposited 200$ only and start grinding at NL10 and see what I can do. So far so good. I unfortunately don't have a lot of time to play so for now my BR is going up slowly. Here's my graph:

WCOOP Stake! by player999, August 17


Starting my WCOOP 2012 stake. It's gonna be a make up system of 65% investor/35% player, the total is 100 shares of $400, the total of WCOOP buy ins is around $20.5k, WCOOP 2nd chance buy ins for around 7.8k and the rest of the stake money (total $40k) to be spent on regular scheduled tourneys (mainly $109s/$215s), decreasing the variance of the big WCOOP fields. Obviously I won't be able to play some of the planned tourneys, with the eventual missed tourney having its BI returned to the stake BR and spent on regular scheduled tourneys.

5% - $2000
2.5% - $1000
1% - $400
0.5% - $200

History: I have 38% ROI in MTTs according to sharkscope and solid HUsng results for almost 70k games. I have made similar stakes on SCOOP 2011 (+105% ROI ), WCOOP 2011 (+71% ROI ) and SCOOP 2012 (-71% ROI). I also have live MTT results, some tracked here (2 BSOP Event wins).

SCOOP Stake End by player999, August 17


So after a +105% ROI SCOOP 2011, and +70% ROI WCOOP 2011, my third stake comes to an end at -71% ROI. Even though I didn't have to, I did try to recover after the SCOOP end, willingly playing over 20k deep in make up, and did win a little.

I feel like I played a lot better than the other ones, despite the results, sadly MTTs are just about getting the big score, 20 deep runs are worth less than 1 1st place. I did get deep runs on every single Sunday Major (ironically except the 215 HU ), just couldn't take any of them down. Final results:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...dGpyalZxNllheUViM2YyamZkM194TlE#gid=0

Finishing it right now since I will be unable to play in the next 2 weeks, and after that the WCOOP starts, and so I will be starting the WCOOP Stake. It will be in the same format as this one, I'll make a detailed post tomorrow, but quick details are below. Each $250 piece on this one ended up worth $72.45, everyone who had action can PM or post here the ID for it to be shipped, or you can reserve action for the WCOOP instead and send the difference. Here's hoping we run better this time around

Life, Job, House - Random Updates by Svenman87, August 15


Hey LP ^_^

Hope all is well

A few major changes coming up for me in the near future but first I'll update you on the house situation, ended up appraising for about 10k below what I offered, I didn't want to pay and the sellers didn't want to budge so the deal ended up falling through. Oh wellz, I ended up getting a place with my buddy close to downtown (minneapolis) that we'll rent for a year or so then re-evaluate the housing market (was slightly pissed at my realtor and how he handled the situation but oh wellz, will work with someone else next time that will want to work for their client not vice versa.)

Starting a new job within the bank at the beginning of next month, will be pretty sweet 2:30-11 is the hours I'll be working so it'll be pretty baller, work downtown, stay out downtown, get drunk downtown, sleep in and go to work with no problem...

Also recently started up my own business which is going very well so far, looking to hire a FT employee maybe in the coming months since I'll be tied up in the afternoons and evenings now with the new position. Hopefully in a few years I can really take off, but the extra income is always very... very nice xD




Anyways I hope all is well - oh also I'll be going to UFC on FX 5 in October - UFC coming to Minneapolis, going to get baller seats with a few buddies - so be on the lookout in a couple of months for some sick UFC pics.


Peace ^_^

Genjix + Bitcoins by Emi, August 14


Hello guys,

I have not posted here in a very long time because I lost the password and just did not bother as this was anyway just a procrastination source for me. However, due to recent event, I wanted to blow some anger and steam towards one of the player here : genjix.

cliffs :
- lost 60k$ due to the extreme incompetence of some people, one of them being a ex poster here genjix
- Have been a long time lurker here so even though nobody know me I know you :D I basically know everybody here
- I have been a "professionnal" poker player for roughly 3 years before finally getting too bored with it and getting back to the real world.

Ok now for the longer story.

The bad stuff :

Some of you may have heard about bitcoins.
I was storing bitcoins in a exchange / bitcoin bank called "bitcoinica" for a sum that now amounts to roughly 60k$ (5021 btc)

Genjix was one of the operators and owner of the website, and leaked the source code of the website where there was a password in PLAIN TEXT and UNCRYPTED in those sources that allowed a subsequent theft by a hacker.

This allowed a theft of rougly 1/3 of the bitcoins, which amounted to around 450k$. The funds are now locked due to total inaction of genjix and the others co owners.

My life and the one of some others have been pretty crused by this event, and they showed very little care, nor show a lot of guilt. Like "whatever I lost 400k, it wasnt mine so life goes on !"

Just wanted to let you know.

Even though I am not poor, this is still a huge amount of money and you can bet how angry I am.

Ps :

I still read likidpoker and know most personnality and drama around here.

I would probably not have been a "pro" if it was not for you guys.

I think my favorite posters are MiPwnYa & Daut

MiPwnYa is such an amazing poster...
The kind of guy you can only wish happiness as he look like both generous and fun, always sharing and never in contempt.
I still remember a long time ago I won a VIP tourney of stars for like 2k and he almost won the other one (the one for supernova) the same day

The posters that shaped the most how I play are people like Daut (which is very good at explaining his thought process) and Myth (that was good at thinking outside the box, probably too much ). At the time when I was a beginner, those 2 guys really opened my mind.

I have followed the epic adventure of Floofy, Nelly, the "coach" controversy of myth, and everything else. I used to play those weird betting game with Floofy.
The guy has an endless imagination despite all the others issue he have at seduction

Best luck to everyone here. I love you guys

Ps : I forgot to say that I browse the ROFL thread like 20 times a day. This thread is just AWESOME

PS 2 :
I wonder why people like Daut who won 1m+ at some point still bother with grinding low stakes for amounst like 10k / month.
With 1 million, that amount can be made without effort in financial market, thats basically the average expected return of financial markets.

funny party story // more hands from 10k challenge by MARSHALL28, August 14


I noticed you guys were asking me to post the big hands from the match with Zach. We played our 2nd session on the 6th, which was a little over a week ago. I hadn't slept in about 2 days and was pretty drunk, but it still seemed okay for me to play him. I felt like he played significantly better this time than the previous two, I would be very surprised if he hadn't gotten any help. Maybe I was too out of it to realize though and was just playing bad ... I definitely made some HUGE mistakes that I don't generally make. I ended this session up 1k so despite punting off a couple of stacks and getting coolered for 160bb his AA to my KK ...guess it's not that bad of a result.
have been doing really well in poker last 2 months. even with that big 36k downer right in the middle of it, still up a lot and making more than i ever have in my career. moved into my beach house like 4 or 5 days ago and it's pretty much been crazy here ever since.

Anyways ... here were the significant hands:

tournament strategy by Tizerguy, August 13


hi all, im kinda new to poker(been playing about 18months), and i really need help to improve my tournament strategy. i play tournaments on a daily basis but rarely do i make profit. i would say that im a quite tight player and rarely play marginal hands except in position and stealing blinds etc..

Time To Learn Plo by Mariuslol, August 13


Several people who I respect and look up to have been telling me that I've been a bit of a pussy lately, for not giving PLO a shot!!(A couple have just called me that for no apparent reason as well, but that's not related to this post).

We can't have that, so now I've decied to give PLO a shot lol!! I think MiPwnYa pushed me over the edge, let me quote him:
+ Show Spoiler +




The first month, Juli was just here and there. I just spent maybe 10% of my time on it, I started looking at hands, watched through the PLO episodes of Poker After Dark.

I think first hand of PLO I ever played was late Juni, so kinda fresh over all, and knew "nothing". Had to have the two card thingy explained over and over lol. But I used to beat 100nl when I was living out of poker 2-3 years ago. So I know "normal" poker quite well.

Anyhow, I felt it was a cool idea to make a PLO Diary, a weekly one. So I did that, I started it last Sunday, or Monday, not sure, think it was the 6th. So the scribblings from my Diary is for the entire week that has just passed.

It's not marked by days or anything, but when I think of stuff, study something, or have questions to myself or hands I'm proud of or felt I played terrible, I post them in the diary, sometimes lol.

I haven't posted any hands on the LP forum, don't want to clog up the site with Microstakes hands.


I 4 Table.

Here's for August so far, I +' all the minutes and divided by 60, 39 hours or so
+ Show Spoiler +



Here's the positions
+ Show Spoiler +




When I write, I seem to ask a lot of questions, I do that about pretty much everything lol. If you feel you've got a solid answer, tip, idea or you think you can help me in any of the questions you find in the diary, don't be shy. Copy the question, and then write your answer underneath. (Maybe be all cool like and make the questionz all like this, tilted to the side a little.But that's entirely optional xD



Poker Diary, 6th of August till 14th

Ps, Been a Busy Week lol

US Politics by mnj, August 12


I've been making a conscious effort to read about half an hour or 3-4 news articles daily. Despite my efforts it is really difficult to keep everything together, what platforms which candidates/parties stand by. Was wondering if there was any goto site that keeps track of everything with minimal bias.

Lastly I've read both Bossypants by Tina Fey and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns) and have to only recommend the latter after reading the latter. Although Bossypants was an enjoyable read/audiobook (have a tablet so can read/listen depending on my environment ie bus or class) Mindy Kaling's book was so much more touching and well written. After reading her book it is obvious to me that she is both intelligent and kind.

Growing bored of poker already? by Watkyn, August 12


My past month has been a bit weird. A little over a month ago I started playing online poker again.

I get obsessed about things quick and have a good worth ethic. I enjoyed playing it and started playing 8+ hours and later even 12+ hours a day a couple of days straight. I was in this mindset for about two weeks.

I was doing pretty well too. I turned about $20 into (currently) about $750. I enjoyed seeing the progression in my play, moving up the stakes and finding new challenges.

As I had to work all day yesterday, I planned on playing 8k hands today. I would 9 table (I normally 6 table) 25NL for the whole day like I did the days before. I found myself not having the motivation in the morning like I used to have. I forced myself to startup PS and join 9 tables.

I didn't reach my goal. After almost 9 hours I "only" played 5k hands. The worst part is is that I didn't feel the motivation, the excitement, the desire to play better and win more. I sat there and played because I made myself to.

This might partially because of 9 tabling. I was nitting it up (11/8, I normally play 17/12) and it was simply less fun.

Later in the evening I started 6 tabling again, trying it with less tables. Again, I didn't give a flying fuck the whole hour.

Anyway, maybe I've been pushing myself too much the last couple of weeks. My progression (both bankroll aswel as skill) has stagnated a bit. This might also has contributed to this.

My goal was to be rolled for (25BI) 50NL before college starts again in september. It still should be a realistic goal, but we'll see.

...just had to get that off my chest. I'm taking a break tomorrow. I haven't worked out in a month since poker, so that'll probably be a good idea too.

Odds Oracle / EV calc help! by TianYuan, August 11


So, I was playing around in OpenOffice + Odds Oracle to figure out how to make a sheet to calc EV of calling 4bets (never really used OpenOffice before so this is all pretty new), and just as I was done... I realized there's a native function to automate this inside the Odds Oracle program already -_-

My problem? I'm getting a different answer for the EV from the Odds Oracle than I do when I calculate manually / with open office. Could anyone check what I've ****ed up?

Google docs copy of the relevant formulas:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...g56hz-dFNDSllWYll6MlJfQ2d5aklPYlhLdnc

What I enter into the Odds Oracle's PQL interpreter:
select avg(
case
when minEquity(hero,flop,0.3006)
then 42.75*riverEquity(hero)-(5.55+12.85)
else 0 - 5.55
end
) as EVCALL

from game='omahahi',
syntax='Generic',
hero='QQ33$ds',
villain='AA**'


Note: I don't know any PQL, this is cobbled together from a post by someone on this forum and some perusing of the FAQ (link: [url]http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showpost.php?p=28772831&postcount=145[/url])

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could show me where I screwed up, thanks!

NOTE: Am aware that unless you set trials to some absurd number the % will fluctuate a little bit everytime you query (so the numbers I entered manually for, lets say, avg equity, will fluctuate slightly but the difference should be in the 0.02 range rather than 0.2)
