Longple gave me an hour of coaching in exchange for some video help that I gave him earlier on his blog. Even though I'm a microdonk he still came through and not only coached me for the hour, but gave it a really good effort too. I walked away from the session feeling way smarter about how I played and I feel more confident about my ability to eventually reach small stakes if I keep working at it. I highly recommend purchasing coaching from this guy if he ever offers it.
Ok so I decided to start grinding more seriously and I'm looking for a good rakeback /vip room that offers like 50% rakeback so I can get more motivation to play
Bc I'll start my regrind from the micros I'll be able to rake ~1.5k for the first few months...
I'm looking for something safe , with descent traffic 6max , good rakeback etc..
I already have some good deals for Entraction but IDK anything about this network.. does anybody from lp play there? how are games on low/mid stakes ?
I'm thinking between Entraction,Microgaming (not sure if i can get their 50% rb vip level at current stakes) and Ipoker (goor traffic but I belive their vip sys sucks) but ... idk but I would love to hear some of your guys suggestions
I heard that ongame lowers your rakeback if you are wining player bc of their essence rakeback system.
I play 1/2 FR, 2/4 soon, but I have no tournament experience. Do you guys think it's +EV for me to start playing in the Sunday millions?
I've only played in a few tournaments in the past year, I often get impatient when playing them, and I usually regret wasting my time when busting but I imagine I'll improve in those areas as I play more
Hello LP, some of you guys might remember my name from TL and if you do then sup dude you're one of the few TL 'veterans' :D
I've already watched quite a few poker coaching videos, but even tho that i'm running really bad, i sure that i'm missing way too many spots and that i probably give too much credits to my opponents. Most of the videos that i watched were something like 2years old, but do you guys believe that micro stakes really changed since then or does theres a specific series i should watch again and try to find out if i missed any key information?
list of the videos that i have watched so far: MicroStakes Strategy by frosty012 (this one is free and legal since it's on his blogspot), and all the following series from DeucesCracked: Coaching Kristy season1, Real Life Micro NL-Grinder: Unlimited Texas Hold Them, From The Ground Up!, Moving on Up Full Ring.
Can you guys suggest me any really good 6max micro stakes video coaching series that would help me improve more? and if not anything specific, which website between deucescracked/bluefirepoker/cardrunners/dragthebar/leggopoker has the best coaches or content for 6max micro stakes NLHE and should i pay 30$/month for it or should i just focus on applying what i learned already from the videos i've seen?
One last thing, everyone keeps saying that the most important thing in micro stakes poker is value betting.. but since i almost never get to go to showdown when i hit monsters or good pair.. should i keep betting nearly pot on flop and turn (depending on stack sizes of course.. if he's not 100blinds deep i would bet less) or even people playing NL2 have an idea of bet sizes and therefore won't call 90% pot cbet but would call 70%/65%?
also tell me if i should post any HEM graphics that would help you finding out something that i'm doing wrong.
thanks
hey guys.
I'm new to poker, started about a month ago and lost all my free $25 on party and started on everst with free $50 again yesterday and lost a bunch. Since I suck so much and I didn't get into longples free coaching i'm just gonna post here before I play today and see if I can get any help from you guys.
Here are my crappy results from yesterday -36bb/100hands http://i.imgur.com/gtQ5S.jpg
I was calling allins with top pair and shit and tried to play with 6 tables when I'll probly lose playing with 1 table.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
Meaning I'd need to play about 300k hands or 10k hands a day at the current winrate.
Withdrew money today so I have $75 in my account.
My friend and I are going to have a prop bet though on this and wondering what odds would seem fair for both of us? Wouldn't be a sizeable prop just something to add a bit more excitement into this :D
Plan is NL2 upto $150, then play NL2 during the day and Nl5 during the night when the tables are fishier. (with dropping back to Nl2 if I fall below $120 everytime.
So after tilting away about 95% of my roll yday I thought "NO MAN FUCK THIS I AINT BUSTOING", so I built it up again starting with 1.5 BI's. Some yday, most today. Todays garphament
I swear the huge swing at the beginning is NL25 aswell. The next 28000 hands im a VIP Bonus whore. Now i gonna grind on hoping to hit a milestone hand!
Self employed and very busy my work ranges from being very intense and stressful to being very challenging and rewarding. I usually go through phases of being stressed whereby everything seems to just mound up on my shoulders - i decided upon coming home from work i'd take some hash to 'reset' myself. On my way home i stopped at the store and purchased some natural yogurt, i arrived home and took out my stash, putting some olive oil into a large spoon i dropped a marble sized amount of hash into the oil on the spoon - using a candle i melted it all up and stirred the cooled mixture into the yogurt. I knocked it all back by washing it back with some water and waited for the effects to kick
Where I live there's a wood nearby so i decided to take a trip there and walk around by myself until the effects started to take hold. I brought some headphones with me.. About T+0.40 i started to feel the first effects, feeling very deep and relaxed i danced through the wood until finally finding a nice place to sit down and enjoy nature. Staring at the trees the forrest floor seemed to liquify into what was waves of the ocean. I headed back to my house at T+1.00 and could now feel the effects coming on quite strongly.. I got a huge bag a potatoe chips and headed back ot the forrest and ate them *ALL* at this stage the music in my headphones was beginning to sound incredibly 3d, it was the most amazingly sounding music i have ever put my ears to. Everything seemed to merge into a perfect synergy, i felt completely relaxed and unthreatened by anything or anyone, i felt at one with nature. It was a wonderful feeling.
It began to get dark so i decided to follow an animal trial back to my house as opposed to the normal path. I pranced and jumped through the forrest until reaching my house. I decided to take my laptop and sit on my bed as to avoid any contact with my family members who would not be happy to find out i was spaced to the nines! The effects came on stronger and stronger - i could feel waves from the music i was listening, different music gave off different waves of energy and i could feel it actually effect me in a conscious level.. something i truely believe effects us without us knowing. I think the pot allowed me to really feel what i was feeling at an unconscious level. i switched the music on my headphones to leftfield.. what a fantastic choice of music to listen to whilst stoned! I became extremely high at this point and some intruments in the music began to startle me.. noises coming into the tune i thought were buzzing in my head! this was not an unpleasent feeling but rather wonderful!
I also went through a stage of giggles at approx T+3.00, i spent almost 1 hour laughing solid at the simplist things - it was great. I could not wipe the smile from my face.
I became very sleepy at approx T+5.00 and found i could stay awake whilst on the very verge of falling asleep. When i yawned it could make the yawns last which what seemed to be 5 minutes at a go and each yawn felt absolutely wonderful. I began flipping between what seemed a TV/OBE view of myself. It was like jumping out of my body - a wonderful experience.
I woke the next day feeling completely refreshed and on my way to work was extremely happy to be alive and appreciated things i would not normally notice or care about.
I don't know much about audio, but I was tired of listening to my old altec lansings while grinding. So I started searching for some nice vintage stereo amplifier and speakers. Caught two good deals on some local auction site (similar to ebay).
Here's my new setup which I think sounds fantastic. Will try to learn a little more about the subject regarding speaker placement etc.. suggestions welcome.
