Happy I switched to mtt's and mttsng's now. After partypoker shipped me 20k I lost all heart to mass table nl50/100 for small winrates and huge swings and was stalling as a poker player. Owe alot to fugikura who got me into them. Started with a pretty sick downswing but heating up now. Heres my last month and a half graph.
Hey LP,
I decided to make a better blog from now on. I will post positive things, thoughtful experiences, good info, etc. I don't have anything prepared for today, but I will try to improvise.
Very often we see people on the internet (LP included) that seems to seek only to put others down, critic negatively and make fun of others. We see it everywhere: youtube, 2p2, facebook and even 9gag. I have to admit, I was like that once and sometimes I still have to control myself to not be like that again. I have to actualy take a deep breath, think again: how can I turn this into a positive experience? How can I help improve this persons life? why do they have this point of view? Usually a mix of those go through my mind whenever I'm having a mindful interaction with anyone.
This change in perspective wasnt something out of nowhere. It came in a moment where I was a bit lost in several aspects of my life. I had just ended a complicated relationship, my parents wanted me to move back to my hometown(I didnt), I wasn't doing very well in poker (and poker is a big thing for me) and my daily job wasnt something I could see myself doing for life. I needed a change, but I wanted to change everything, I had just started modeling but it wasnt something I had on focus at the moment.
I started reading Logosophy and got into it for quite some time. Logosophy basically teaches the ultimate goal should be the mindful evolution of man. I had to drop Logosophy at one point cause there is a point that Logosophy starts to treat more spiritual stuff, and as and Atheist I couldnt accept any of that without further evidence that what I was reading was real. But the main thing got stuck with me: I wanted to be an amazing human being. I want to be a great son, brother, friend. I want to be wise, to understand everything around me. Yeah I know some of you are probably laughing at me thinking: "lol and you believe in the reptilians". Well I do, I have my reasons but lets not touch in that subject anymore. I said what I had to say about it.
This single decision: to become an amazing human being changed everything. I feel like I have total control of my destiny, like I'm the owner of everything around me. It is an amazing feeling. Before this I would look life in a way that I always had a certain goal that I wanted to achieve, and after that single goal I would be a very happy person. Now I feel like I'm achieving amazing things everyday, I learned to enjoy the journey.
Also,
This is a cover Music Video that me and my friends made. It is pretty cool, take a look.

Heya!!
I've got some thoughts, so I'll try my best and filter through them as coherently as I can.
Liquid poker!!
Great site, awesome and stuff. HOWEVER!!! Lately... It's been kinda shit, for the first time I got the same feeling as I get when I notice I'm about to type in "Facebook" up in the left corner there.
That's not good, not good at all. So when that happened I started squinting with my eyes, I became all thinky!! (Yes, that's a word, I looked it up).
When I open Liquid and I see a new long post by Longple, Ket, or people who write equally impressive posts I get quite excited and happy, I look forward to it, and I usually don't start reading right away. I get all comfy, get drinks and want to make sure I read it properly and take it all in.
I think this is because posts like that brings substance, depth, value, whatever words you want to use. That's what drew me to LP in the first place. I don't like communities that are too big, dislike not recognizing names, what they're like, what they typicly write like, traits, humour, shit like that.
Lately (please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure some of you will even if I'm not wrong lol) I've noticed more and more posts I consider as "noise", just crap, nothing of value, blogs so poorly written you're worried you got a little dumber just by looking at it, stupid trolls, ego boosting n whatnot. (I just took all the rage here in one go, from here on out it'll be a lot brighter and cheerful).
I even contemplated, toyed, played around with the idea of maybe not visiting LP in awhile after I saw that last D_Smart_(random letter here which I can't remember) post.
But that'd be the newbie thing to do. What have I done to lp to contribute lately? LOL, nothing, I just lol in some posts here and there, or try to be sarcastic, funny or throw in a little irony here and there. Blerk!!
So yeap, this is my own call to action post. Time to contribute a little more to Lp, or die in the attempt to do so =]
I'd love to maybe fill some General forum slots with whatever I feel like writing about. I've not been lazy or anything, I'm maybe a little egotistical, I usually just read/write stuff for the sake of doing it, and it's all mine, mine, mine, and I store it away somewhere.
It does however make me feel a little......... After awhile, and I do get some sort of rush, feeling of accomplishment when I do share, sharing is caring longple used to say.
And my logic is this; If I just try to do whatever I can to help, share ideas, take up concepts, throw out food for thoughts to the community, imagine how awesome if more people ship in with what they're good, or excell at, share their knowledge, stories n crap like that. (Like Puerto, he ships in his thought here and there, and he's doing his own thang with the MMA thingy). I think It'd be quite amazing, imagine 5-6 KET posts in a day? (Not that they all have to be written by Ket, but same quality).
Ok, getting too mushy. I'm a run in the hall, grab some notes and start making posts in the general forum RIGHT NOW xD
Oh!! And when I'm done, I'll add links to the first few posts I make in this Blog, right underneath my rants, until the blog get knocked down from one of the other featured posters, yeap.
So i think i am gonna quit the Dog food selling the next days.
Been working there for 2 month and made close to 2,5K € (3100 USD) net winnings within that time span.
It was easy money allthough i hardly can stand the boredom anymore.
I am not sure how you guys see it.
How long can you do a job were u basically do nothing but sit in front of your computer and talk the same commercial text 50-80 times a day for 7,5h a day in case u get 10$ to your bank account every hour that passes.
Its also important that u have no emotional connection to the product u are selling. (I dont care about dog food at all)
I somehow find this idea kinda interesting.
Basically its free money.
All u have to do is invest 7,5h time a day where you dont have any intellectual or physical challenge.
How long can u sit on a chair and do nothing when every hour that passes u are given 10$ ?
So tired of nobody helping me start tables etc.by barbieman, June 18
So tired of regs not wanting to start tables, if I join their tables they sit out. Waiting for a third person to sit in. If a fish joins they often leave the table to rejoin with a better position. It's fucking easier to get a table started by opening a new table yourself as well and hope for a non-reg to sit in. Of course instantly 4 regs sit down in pos on the fish giving me a shit position 9/10 times.
Even if you don't think that you have an edge vs. me, you almost always only have to play 5-20 hands before the table starts to fill up. OMG you lose $0.01-2 in EV, HOLY FUCK!!!! And people picking up my bb to then sit out when tables are breaking. UGH
Got bored and felt like playing some HU, gave up after 20min. Played 6 or 7 opponents, one of them played more than 20 hands vs. me, everybody sat out after they had played their button. Everybody taking up several tables and refuses to play somebody that isn't a fish it seems. WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WROOOOONG WITH PEOPLE. AND ALL TEHSE SHORT STACKS, FFS. STOP MAKING THIS GAME THE MOST BORING SHIT FUCK THING EVER.
Okay, I can play 6max pretty much whenever I want, but these things are annoying me so fucking hard. I needed to get this off my chest.
Forgot about this money I had on Lock, and the withdrawal minimum is huge unless you wanna take a 10% hit through Western Union. I would rather not deal with that company and instead ask if someone here would be willing to help me out. I'll throw in 10 dollars for your trouble.
I'm reputable around here. If you need someone to vouch for me, let me know. If you are interested, post here or send me a PM. Thanks!
I've been trying out 50NL on the new Lock Poker revolution network. It feels absolutely fantastic to be grinding online again. I've been playing 4-6 tables and feel like I have a large edge in the game. Playing so much live poker has helped me discover the fold button... which is pretty important IMO!
I'm not sure how much of a roll I want to keep on the site. I would like to grind 100NL but not so sure I want to keep 4-5k on there. I realize it is a big risk to even be playing online in the USA right now. The main reason I'm doing it is to keep my game sharp and to test myself against good players. I guess making decent money is a plus too. I guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope the cashout goes through when the time comes. From what I have read it is taking about 2 months and requires countless e-mails to the support team.
Here are the results so far. Running good and playing good!
Haven't really followed any tv shows lately and looking to start a couple series.
some tv shows that I liked off the top of my head are weeds, spartacus, breaking bad, misfits, lost, heroes etc. Pretty much mainstream stuff but I am really out of the loop with whats good now since I haven't watched tv in like a year so help me out lp.
just curious to your opinions, me and my friend were debating this and in general would like some feedback. i feel as though there are a lot of Z whiners in general (i play Z myself) but feel as though T > Z > P?
tough to say with all the patches and metagame shifts and even map changes. but it is nice to see that nestea is a 3 time gsl champion/mc is a 3 time gsl champion and that mvp was a 3 time gsl champion.
and secondly which matchup besides mirror matchups do you feel is most balanced? (TvP imo)
Tired of D3 or just got an extra key sitting around? Looking to buy cheap accounts/keys in exchange for pokerstars or paypal (also have cash on a few others pokers sites if you prefer).
