Hello, I would like to get a stake for the 215$ 6-max of sunday september 4th, and for the 109 on september 10th. My roll being ~250 atm, I obv can't affort them. Let me know if you're interested in buying a %, or better offer!
first graph is 2/4
2nd graph is 1/2, mostly 1/2 deep.
I had some pretty big swings at 2/4 so i decided to grind 1/2, then i discovered deep tables which have some pretty bad regs, and fish which buy in for 250bbs. I got exploited a bit by the better 1/2 deep regs since i hadnt played deep before, and getting used to the 3bet/4bet dymanics was difficult. Because there are some situations where i would normally 3bet for value in 100bb poker with AQo, but when i 3bet that hand for value in 250bb poker and they 4bet, and im oop it really sucks heh.
overall though im used to 1/2 deep tables now and i can definitely say that these tables are insanely crushable for 5 reasons. I recommend people to learn and play these tables at any limit.
1) i get to know all the regs fast since only 2-4 tables run at a time.
2) sipinho plays 1/2 deep
3) a lot of the regs dont mind playing HU.
4) megafish buying in for 250bb is win.
August has probably been the best month for me so far because i dropped down to 4-6 tables again, instead of the usual 9-12 that i had been doing in the previous two months.
And i measure how good my month is in terms of improvement as well as money.
time until i quit poker multiplied by level of improvement per month= how much money i will gain from poker.
I hope to move up to 2/4 and 3/6 deep tables soon after next month.
Anything Lpers could recommend would be appreciated
will post a couple non-documentaries ive watched so far, there's been nothing but garbage for the past months so its been quite dry.

Story of Troy Duffy (director of the cult movie "the boondock saints"), his (almost) rise and fall to fame, as Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein builds him up as this brilliant scriptwriter who's just an ordinary bartender, then decides to drop him and umake him as he realizes the guy is kind of an egomaniac/asshole. Instance of sick tilt for sure

Hey, recently had a phonecall that my regular cash game live was gonna be running again (it stopped coz of WSOP vegas and ppl traveling all around). Mostly consists of bussiness guys, one live pro that plays ok and myself, mostly 7-8 handed NLHE.
We used to play a lot of 25/25 at first 4k min buyin, then it was upped to 25/50 10k min but they always wanted to up the stakes (Which I didn't want because I didn't feel comfortable, most of them are multimillionaires). Now they wanna do 100/100 (which im gonna try for it to be 50/100) with 20k min buyin. I'm not really comfortable with this big a buyin so I wanna sell pieces of myself.
How we go around this for people more into the live games and staking?
I wanna sell 50% but dunno what good odds be, probably like 1.2:1 in my favour? game is really easy for an onliner like myself. I do have a lot of live cash game experience as I've played in this game a lot before and I'm up a fair ammount like 40~50k on it, although it should easily be 120~150k EV wise as I've been in a lot of bad beats.
Anyway, anyone interested contact me. Games are supposed to start today or tomorrow.
After more than a month of grinding live poker 5-6 days a week my biggest problem is getting my wallet to close and fit in my pocket because its so full of money. This is a good problem to have. I love you live poker!
Quick question - is there a way to get Merge HHs to show correctly on LP's hand converter? Want to post a hand on the forums but the Merge HH format is really weird and isn't converting properly. Thanks!
Been trying to improve my game by subscribing to DC and watching videos, playing every day etc. Its my last week of dealing at the CNE so pretty excited about that.
After a couple of months at break-even at 25NL I decided to try and take my stab at the $11 SNG on party since I know a bit more about them than cash games, and tried to grind those for a bit until i got crushed.
So I decided I'm going to grind 10NL for a bit, try to win at that level, mixing in some SNG's here and there and find something I can beat. It's pretty frustrating right now but hopefully I'm getting better...
Pretty much beating Live Poker however, and that feels good. There's a Casino Staff poker tournament soon and I'm pretty much going to destroy that and everything else about life other than online is pretty much fantastic, but I want to get better at this game...
Good or bad deal? Jason and I want a car like right now. Nothing fancy, just something that will last us and get us around.
We're total car fish though, so if it's reasonable enough to buy, my older brother suggested we take it out to a mechanic and check the carfax report to make sure it's not rebuilt or something.
Have taken a week or 10 days off poker to get my mind of things, unfortunately other stuff keeps falling to pieces and I'm supremely annoyed and not at all in a good mental state for poker. Haven't been able to sleep until like 6am in the morning for the last 5 or 6 days and various crap goes to shit. Got really annoyed a while ago when I was sure that someone was trying to rip me off, but it turned out that it was just someone I should be able to trust who hadn't told me everything because "it was embarrassing" which fucked up a good 3 days for me. I need a break from crap.
Only good thing the last few days in the gold and silver prices but unfortunately I've run into some negative variance with some mine that crashed down and fucked up some shit for a company I've got a fair bit of shares in so I'm not actually up anything lately, despite timing everything perfectly with my last buy (Sandstorm Gold). Spending a few hours every other night figuring out financial statements and shit so my investing game might actually get better.
Playing primas 500k grtd today (and tomorrow if I happen to stay alive for 4 more hours and day 2) but then I'm going home to my parents for a week or maybe a little more to figure shit out, get some school stuff out of the way and do a lot of long walks, fishing and maybe some other "nature" stuff with my phone off. I'll probably check my e-mail once or twice every day but other then that I aim at being "of the grid" and not worry about anything except getting a bunch of work done for a while and hanging out with the parents.
Irene is the beginning of the END!!!by Gnarly, August 28
It's been a few years since Katrina, and Ike. I say Ike because that did damage to Houston and Galveston and all that crap. It's fucking hilarious though, that people are "reporting more and more dangerous hurricanes". Katrina happened YEARS ago, not THIS YEAR. How the fuck are these people thinking that a hurricane that went back to cat 1 easily is the end of the world? OH NOES, THERE'S SO MANY STORMS IN THE GULF RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!!!
How fucked up did the West coast get from Irene? Not that bad at all? Oh, WELL EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOU LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know it's been a while since I've written anything about the start-up of the business I run with edzwoo. To be honest I just didn't really know what to write about. From where I left off last time, a lot has happened but most of it is administrative stuff that probably wouldn't interest you guys very much. So instead I figured I'd talk about the house I just moved into along with what's happened over the last couple of weeks. If you read edzwoo's blog post you'll know a bit of what's going on.
I moved into a house with edzwoo, acckerman and a friend from high school at the beginning of August. It's a four bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2600 square foot house. edzwoo and I rented out the house for the sole purpose of running our eBay business. We figured we would use the entire first floor as storage and hoped that it would be enough space to last us for the year. We were wrong. This is our house two weeks after we moved in.
We purchased somewhere between 10,000lb - 15,000lb of inventory since we moved in and we're bringing in around 2,000lb - 4,000lb worth of inventory each week. We're at the point where we actually have to start storing things in our backyard. It's pretty likely that we'll need a warehouse soon. The only reason we decided to rent out a house instead of a warehouse in the first place is because edzwoo and I are pretty lazy and wouldn't want to drive to a warehouse every morning. We also don't plan on staying in Illinois permanently. If things go as planned, by next August we will be somewhere close by San Fransisco because that's where a lot of the major shipping ports are located. We would be able to directly import products from manufacturers in China and Pakistan instead of having to go through wholesalers in California. Pretty much all legit wholesalers are located in California because of the port locations and the cost of freight transport from California to Illinois accounts for 20% of our total inventory cost. Because of this, it didn't make much sense to us to invest in a warehouse, set up industrial sized shelves, purchase pallet jacks, etc if we're just going to move after a year.
We also recently transferred our proprietorship to a S-Corp which greatly limits our liability if we are ever involved in a lawsuit. Also, edzwoo and I each received 500 shares of stocks which I think is pretty awesome. You gotta feel pretty legit when you can say that you own your own company and it issues stocks, even if the stocks are not public. So the whole process of forming an S-Corp costs less than $300 if you fill out the application yourself. Our lawyer recommended that we just file the documents through his firm so he can take care of all the paperwork and handle the incorporation process. He estimated the bill to be around $1000 which didn't seem bad but he ended up charging us $2500. We got value-towned pretty hard there. Our accountant is also charging us $950 to go through our transactions for the last six months and integrating all of that into Quickbooks.
Well, that's about it. Holidays are coming up which means we're going to get a ridiculous amount of sales. From mid October to mid December last year we had so many sales to process it nearly killed us. I stayed up for three days working on eBay stuff and studying for finals. Hopefully we will be better prepared this year.
Day 2/3 240 Hour Challenge 21k Hand Sessionby Joeingram1, August 27
Think I might be finished up here of Day 3 of my 240 Hour Challenge for the next month but might play another session. Yesterday sure was interesting. Day 1 I decided to play fewer tables and ship the monies but when I woke up yesterday the idea of doing all that again sounded pretty boring and didn't appeal to me so naturally I loaded up alot of tables at once. First session was a 2 hour one that didn't go well. The 2nd session ended about 14 hours later and I played 21086 hands, graph at the end of blog. I really feel like I needed to play a super long grind session because I was starting to doubt that I had the ability to do something like that still. I did not win any buyins at the table but after the 5x Fpp multiplier for Supernova Elite I ended up almost breakeven for the session and closer to a back to back SNE goal. My sleep schedule is back on a non normal one which is the way I like it, my bedroom doesn't have black out anything though which sucks for sleeping during the day but I am learning to go with it. I haven't actually slept with light coming into my room for the last year and a half in San Diego so its an adjustment.
Goal for rest of the month is to end up around 250k VPP and juice up my online roll a bit before I can get started on the super grind these last 4 months here. Me and Ballcup friends just moved up here and ended up finding a place in the same building as us. Luckily they won't be staying at our place anymore which can only be a good thing for the grind, was pretty distracting. I'm also trying not to meet any women so I can get my head back in the grind mind, we all know how finding a cute girl can throw things off and not always in a good way, I came up to Canada to make a bunch of money and not mess around with random Canooks lol
Did 2 more mini video updates and wish I did something like this when I was getting SNE last year because I can only imagine how beat up I looked and probably worn down/burnt out with my super long hair and facial hair goin on. Day 2 is towards the tail end of my super long session and you can see the energy is gone. After 3 days I am at about 34.5 hours right now so making good pace and hopefully can complete this challenge easily
Some people in the comments last blog asked what my go to PLO book was, the one that has helped me alot and still does help me was fellow LP'er SlowHabits PLO book, would recommend it for sure!

Noooo Playersonly halved the amount of moneyby ManofFire, August 26
I get per month for doing absolutely nothing except playing freerolls and playing on other skins. )=
used to get 250$ a month, now I only get 150...
my life sucks.
btw how does this website keep afloat? I don't see where they are printing all this money they can give out monthly. Are they just planning to reopen in the US and pull an AP/UB when they get shut down?
