Thank you for your attention and have a nice day
I don't know how to word this, but the thing I care the most about is to improve my bench/squat an deadlift.
I am currently making continous gains and train 5 times a week. When i'm not training, I spend time reading books and materials about how to improve my technique and different training methods for when my progress begins to slow down. Now that my wrist is injured I spend time on studying and practicing w/o weight the most efficient way to bench.
I also hate weekends cause I can't go to the gym -_-
I was at a meeting 3-4 weeks ago, where I squated 115kg, deadlifted 185kg and failed to bench a 100. Had only a month of practice though.
Unfortunatately no bench or deadlift yet, so i've been focusing on my squat and can now do 130kgx5.
Here is my deadlift at the meet, 2nd total at my weight class in that lift, only thing that made me proud there (Must be noted I did it completely raw, belt/knee wraps will most likely help a bit but gotta buy them and get used to them first).
Here is the guy I need to outlift to become the greatest lifter ever at my weight class.
I don't think its doable, so i'm focusing on winning my national meeting on november 25 atm. Hopefully I'll be able to squat + deadlift 500kg and bench 100+ to win it.
I'll get u guys a video of my 5rm max when I squat 150kgx5 (twice my weight) in 3 weeks.
Was also wondering how good I would get at poker if I liked it as much as lifting heavy stuff. I might pick it up again, not sure when yet though =/.
Took up poker seriously again about 2,5 months ago after a 2 year break and I've been doing fairly well on lowstakes, mostly playing at our swedish site Svenska spel at the nl75 limit. I need to keep pushing myself to get in more hands tho, been pretty successful with that lately I think since i played 35k last month which is more then I usually did back in the days when I were a midstakes reg. My goal is to be back at nl200 or nl400 before this summer is over and I think that is a very reachable goal as long as I can keep putting in at least 35-40k hands a month.
Trying to decide which poker site I should move to. I have considered Pokerstars but feel I could get more rakeback elsewhere for the limits I play (50nl-100nl).
I've heard of people getting good deals on Ipoker and was wondering who to contact for this.
I was playing on FTP and play around 8-12k hands per week.
This is not a poker blog.by XoXthajmanXoX, July 02
And yet you still opened it.
So it's been almost forever since I last did anything on here save check the ROFL thread so I figured it's about time for an update for the 7 people on this site who know I exist . As those 7 may know I've been trying my hand at stand-up comedy the last few months. Things kind of got off to a rocky start in the whole mix and I have to say I appreciated some of the input that lp had given in the past.
Anyway, a few months ago I entered in a comedy competition one of the clubs was having for the city. After luckily bringing enough people to scream for me in the preliminary rounds, and actually preparing some decent material for the Semi-Finals, I've made it to the Finals.
Over 60 comics gave it their best and now it's just down to 8 funny bastards, and I am one of those bastards. $1500 is at stake for the winner :D <--hopeful smile.
The show is less than 2 weeks away, 7-13-11, I doubt any of you can make it considering the vast array of different countries this site represents, so the chances of anybody on here being within reasonable driving distance to Grand Rapids, Michigan is almost nil. So I guess I'm posting this here because everyone on facebook is sick of me talking about it and myspace is stupid.
Anywho, I'm excited. You're probably not, but can be, so do it. Here is the video of me not losing in the Semi Finals earlier this week. Quality isn't superb, but it was free .
Haven't blogged since capping off my 2010, and have mostly been working on my startup. In fact I haven't even played poker this year, and of course there was that whole Black Friday thing...
So why am I offering coaching? I think I still possess some small iota of ability, FTP's lock up of my funds is taking its toll on me, and I'm offering it at $40/hr. Decent deal as I used to coach for 150-200/hr at my prime (I used to also coach for free). Frankly after Black Friday I think at least Americans should be a lot more pragmatic and realistic about income generation and realize that even $40/hr is quite a lot of real world moneys.
This is by no means a sick deal on your part, like I said I haven't played at all. But I think I can be like that guy in Happy Gilmore, the old guy who's washed up but was still integral to Adam Sandler's improvement.
That said, I obviously don't believe I'm capable of coaching 400nl anymore, perhaps not even 200. Maybe even 100 is a stretch now? So this is mostly for lower stakes players, where the level of the games may still be similar to the games of 2010.
Past general theoretical knowledge, I'm pretty good at HU, I can teach a thing or two about emotional control, and I have a plethora of old material like old coaching videos (where I get coached) and assorted stuff I've made in the past that I don't mind giving away anymore. Lastly, I've spent almost a good year researching and understanding the silicon valley tech industry so anyone with any interest in tech startups (or starting one) can pick my brain for free as part of this.
It's always been better for me to coach people who I could talk to every so often as an actual person rather than some dude I'm making $ off of. Having said that I'm more partial to names I recognize for this offer but if no one wants to take coaching from a washed up player then I'll take anyone I can get .
Payment will have to be in paypal unfortunately. Besides that, I'll try to make this as beneficial for you as I possibly can. I realize this is the end of the line for me in poker, so I'd at least like to go out with some fulfillment.
Not really a blog just a question lol.
Was watching GSTL Venus group week 2 FXOpen vs ZeNEX game 2 and the casters referring to a guy in the stands said"there's Midian, one of the best foreign zergs of all time"
Are they referring to the same Midian that posts on LP?
wich is 20k$ from EU sites, mostly an italian randomsite, where im now banned cuz i won 10500€ in like max 3-4000 hands of 2/4-10/20€, so they banned me not to play there anymore wich sux (super retarded decision over such small sample, they said i rake to little playing that high and win to much, lol, it was good value, but atleast i got my money, some volume on bossmedia aswell where i made ~4k€
my swedish mainsite i only made ~5k$ on in the end, but 1 week ago i was stuck about 16k$ there so there was a really nice recovery, graph from there can be found belove.
played alot of interesting hands this month, so if ur bored u can check my latest hands out, there are some discusssion/comments etc about the hands, i mostly just post the interesting wierd ones, mostly... (aliens)
not a great month, but decent concidering how bad it was at some points, in total live and online i ended + 15k$, plus some rakeback, not sure how much, maybe 1k€
hopeing for a big nice one next month
if u havent seen the show kenny vs spenny its awesome, check it out
edit: i realised its halfyear too, and i also realised im on the right pace of my goal of 1 million SEK (~150 000$) wich is good i guess
im + on EU sites too, not sure how much as alot of my volume has been on wierd sites that my affiliate fixxes me in on, played on like 3-4 different italian networks wich dosnt support any trackers, maybe 30k$ if i estimated some kind of a guess so im well on pace, hopefully ill make it + around 100k$ so far online 2011
Little bit of history, used to play live 1/1 games (£) and won a fair bit up and down, but couldn't build a roll as a typical student always spending and being a standard degen. Long story short won 2k in a week, spent most of it, busted the last of it. Standard. While playing live, I've always just donked about online, usually at 9am when getting home from the casino, just donking away $100 without caring as I was so tired. As I said typical degen So all my stats look terrible in my history.
So after busting my live roll and being unemployed, I thought I'd do the pro thing, and deposit $10 and grind my way to $1mil
Online is very different from live, so didn't start too great. But 50k hands later here I am. Binked $200 cash in storm and running 8bb/100 at Nl2. Cashed out a chunk and purchased HEM today so can finally get all my graphs and stats.
Kinda suprised to be running 15BI's under EV, knew I ran badish but wasn't expecting that. But oh well, can't complain, It's NL2 and thats the point of it :D
Sorry to bore you all but any quick obvious leaks that you can spot?
I need to stop limping and especially open limping OOP and even IP and nit up from the blinds massively and to stop double barrelling (live habit).
Kim Jong-il Plays Poker Online!by be_higher, June 30
I was playing on Black Chip Poker, a Merge skin, when I encountered a player from Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the official name of North Korea (South Korea's official name is just the Republic of Korea).
He must be Kim Jong-il!
- Few people have the Internet access in North Korea. The only man powerful enough to have that access AND be able to put money into an online poker platform (North Korea has very strict control on money processing) is him.
- He was pretty aggressive, 4betting me with TT when I had played very tight. We know Kim Jong-il loves to fight.
At the end, I took about $5 from him. I'm really worried that he will come after me for the money and this blog, but truth needs to be shared!!!
ive hit a wall and i want to smash it with my fistby Stroggoz, June 29
basically when i started playing poker again this year i went into the mentality that it wasn't worth playing this game unless i was good.
unfortunely i've hit a wall of improvement and can only beat nl200 at 1.2 BB/100. While this is pretty satisfying if u like living on 60k a year. It is not enough to live the life of cocaine and hookers that i've dreamed of ever since i was a child. And it is certainly not enough to pass onto any children i might have in the future.
I've been looking at other peoples profiles and see that people like pobolero beat 1/2 at 3 BB/100, and nanonoko beats 5/10 at 2.9 BB/100 (WTF!!)
anyway, imma try a month of 6 tabling to see if i can still actually improve by myself, if that doesn't work then i would be interested in coaching from someone that can beat 5/10 by more than .5/BB100.
Also i'm fairly interested in making a grindhouse in new zealand next year, if anyone is interested lemme know. Its a long shot posting this on LP, but meh whatever.
Also a lot of people have been taking my posts too seriously on lp, i will point out now that i have a severe case trollisitus. Which is basically when i subconciously troll in nearly all of my posts. This is a growing disease for me and i really dont like trolling but its become somthing that i do without knowing a lot of the time, and it makes me look like a massive dick because i have to disagree with every point of view even though i may not actually disagree. I will try to control this disease after this post but just letting you guys know that i have it.
