Just decided that I'm gonna play the BPT Main Event! I don't have this money on my bankroll so I'm gonna have to buy-in with my own money. The Main Event costs $1,450.00 and its expected around 600 players. My dad has an apartament very close (3 miles away) to the Hotel Transamerica (place were the tournment is gonna happen) and I already bought the ticket to Sao Paulo (I live in Brasilia D.C.), it costs around $80, so thats OK.
I'm excited about this, hope I run good!
13 days left, lets do this!
Hello.It's been strange these days - US players banned from PS and FTP, later on FTP got banned..For some time now I'm watching some good NLHE players moving to PLO, so to make it brief - poker is changing.And I think it's a good time to consider some change in my poker life aswell.
What I'm thinking about is investment - investment in my poker play.I don't rely on poker about money, but the truth is that I have been in this game for too long and maybe I should give myslef a chance and try and take a bit more professional look to my game.
So what I'm thinking about is starting playing HU in PS.What I need is information so I could be able to decide if it's worthy for me to make that investment or not.
I am not a multitabler.I enjoy playing 1 table 2 at most.Also I'm willing to start from 100NL, but considering my lack of experience maybe I would accept to play 50NL.Also I think that if i make this step I will definetly make it with some sort of long term coaching.
So for now I would ask you to help me to do my math - I want to make some calculations how much money should I need to make this happen, because this will be the main factor to decide weather I'll do it or not.
To sum it up - I want to start playing HU at PS at 100NL(maybe 50NL), I want to do it by playing 1 or at most 2 table and I want to make a long term coaching deal.Could you help me with the approximate sum that I'll need to begin with - how many Buy-ins for the limit given + how much do you think I'm gonna spend for a reasonable coaching for a reasonable period of time?
Thanks
I'm thinking about running an internship as the final part of my study in Vancouver, for about half a year. I'm very much wondering what you Americans and Canadians (or others) have to say about the city. Or would you rather go for something exotic? Vancouver obviously has more well known companies which is good for your resume. My knowlegde about the city is basicly zero aside from people saying it's an awesome city.
free coaching and 2 awsome vidsby longple, July 07
yo (edit: forget the 2 videos thingy in the main title ill post those later, they are way to good to be posted in a post like this, they deserve a own post)
late 2008/beginning of 2009 i started posting on LP, and i made my first blogpost in january 09, back then i played 10NL
i climed to playing 100nl 200nl in 2010, and now 2011 i started off with playing 2/4-5/10
the last couple of months ive been playing almost only 5/10+ on a couple of different networks
this is my overall winrate from the last year of poker, 98% of these hands are played between 1/2$ and 25/50$ (ive never played higher then that, but my sample on 10/20 and 25/50 is not big at all as i havent really taken that jump just yet) http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/057adce75c7755c689b8344268e0713d.jpg
i havent really coached much, but ive coached some in swedish and i enjoy talking poker with people, and im thinking of maybe starting to offer some coaching for struggling players mostly on 0.5/1-3/6$, maybe even 5/10
and maybe some smart 50nl players out there, im looking for to get some interesting discussion out of this for my own winnings and interests aswell, from my coaching and just not plugging "standard" microstakes leaks not to sound to badmannered or harsch or anything
i dont think im the right choice for a microstakesplayer as they probably can get the same amount of help from any random video/smallstakescoach out there anyways i dont look to coach microguys
i havent coached in english before, so i thought about maybe starting off with some freecoaching to hardworking/struggling LP'rs that wanna climb the stakes
im starting off with stroggos, gonna give him maybe 2-3 sessions starting off tomorrow, he recorded a 45min 200NL video that we are gonna go trhough together/just talk poker randomly as a whole
if i like the whole coachingthingy i might start charging for it for those who are interested but mostly i wanna do it for fun/i think it can be good for me aswell to talk poker, especially for example if im in a downswing i think it can help alot to focus maybe more on some1 elses game and just talk good poker as i think even over peroids where i play my C-game i think i still can analyse spots of some1else to the fully anyways.
basically I'd like to have something to fall back on when im not in the best mood to play!
So im thinking this, after im done with stroggos id like to take maybe 2 more people under my wings and offer them 2-3 hours of freecoaching
to give me feedback basically as a coach + i wanna give something back to LP
PS im thinking of maybe making a video or 2 for LP aswell, and i wonder how the fuck to do that basically? ive done videos before with camstudio or camtasia and some other program i think, mostly they get 1gig+ in size, and i wanna know how to make good quality videos of maybe max 2-300mb with a good program, can any1 maybe help me for this?
even if ur a microplayer id love to give u an hour coaching/looking over ur game if u do help me with this, first to give me a good enough advice to get this working wins this side competition
PM me or write in the commentsection about urself and ur goals as a player, basically why i should coach just you for free and i will pick out 2, maybe 3 people,its important that u try to motivate and tell me alittle bit of ur story as a player for me to do good picks for this
hope this will be of interest for people, stay tuned for some videos from me hopefully
two quick questions. whats a good book to read to get good @ blackjack really quickly. secondly, anyone provide anything for someone with dark coarse chesthair that grows back fairly quickly. cannot get it smooth @ all and it grows back so quick.
played live last nite in the back of a resteraunt (a weekly game)
its 1/3 and 9 handed. i got 100bb
i have been playing with these guys for about 3 or 4 hours or so, pretty sober so i can really pay attention... i get into a hand with an loose/aggro player who had forced me to fold 3 or 4 times in the night. almost all of those times were when id make a late pf raise, get called and c/f the flop. he was a thinking player who pretty much trys to sense weakness...
so i get A7s in the CO+2 and i make it $12 to go.... (this is somewhat standard small raise in this game) i get called by the guy... flop comes down J 9 3. i check and he bets $30. i call. the turn comes another 9. he bets $70 now and i call. at this point im like so sure hes got absolutly shit. so the river comes its a 5. he shoves all in for remaining $150... i think for like 2 seconds and say call and insta flip over A high.
he was going to muck his cards when i said call but i showed to fast and he realized his bluff hand actually beat my bluff catcher... he showed up with A10...... if i wouldnt have flipped my A over i woulda took down the pot since he is like an insta mucker..... fucking god damn it........
so gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i got up n left i was too tilted to reload
anyone feel like hookin up a fellow grinder with a user name and pw via PM...ill only use like maybe 10 searches a day if that. just like to have the features to edit certain days and all. used to have one but lost all the info after the whole black friday thing
I'm out in Vegas for the summer and I've decided to play the WSOP Main. I'm cutting it pretty close but I want to sell out up to 50% of my action at $125 per 1%.
I've played over 10k tournaments online with marginal results. Maybe 80-100k profit lifetime. Screennames are:
jchysk on FTP
jchysk3027 on Stars
jchysk on Cake
I've had a couple WSOP cashes, and various other cashes in other tournament series, but nothing ever significant. I have quite a bit of experience with live play and I've got a really solid combination of reading players and live tournament understanding. Also, my mathematical abilities + knowledge are of the highest tier in the poker community.
As far as reputation goes: I've been a long time member of the LP community. thewh00sel or shAAArk can vouch for me on LP, and half a dozen well known pros would also be willing to vouch for my trustworthiness IRL.
I live in the US so I can't accept online money and will only take cash from people also here in Vegas.
PM or post if you're interested. TY.

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 .
