Hey all, this will be my introduction to the LiquidPoker community. I have been a lurker on here for quite some time, and have been a very irregular poker player.
The start of my poker "career" came in 2007, when a kid who lived on the same floor at my dorm transferred me $10. Thinking I was a hotshot, I immediately sat down and tried to out think everyone and never gave anyone credit. I soon found myself down to ~$4-5 in my account. So then I decided that I would start reading over the articles here since I had known of the site from my time as a TL lurker.
After doing all the reading, and trying to use the knowledge I gained, I quickly became a winner at 2nl. With about $60 in my account, and a long, long night of drinking under my belt, I sat down at a 50nl table and quickly donked off a BI. Since I couldn't reload, I quit and upset at myself for my lack of control I took a break from poker. With a year break due to school and work, I took another shot at 2nl. I turned my $10 into $50 again within a month of sporadic play, but school and work took over and I had to stop.
Now, I am back and attempting to try and finally conquer 2nl and move up through the ranks. I know my play won't be as constant as I would like, but I do have my mind made up that now is the time that I want to play some poker, so I decided to start up my blog and try and post to get better, even though I know I've missed the peak years.
So I have to work the front desk of the dorms tonight for 8 hours, 2 of which i already worked earlier before lunch. I tried to play FTP earlier in the first two hours of work via the computer in the office. I was able to dl ftp about 2 weeks ago, but now that i have to dl the update, i am being blocked by some kind of admin password firewall device that my boss put on the computer. Why i could dl this 2 weeks ago and not now boggles the mind.
Is there anyway i can download the ftp update and bypass the password?
Also chris brown promotes his album on ABC morning show and ragetilts backstage when all questions asked to him was about him beating up on Rihanna LOL
just watched "Limitless" , pretty entertaining film and highly recommended, also watched "Battle for L.A." and surprisingly thought it wasn't as bad as 2012, "Paul" (simon pegg & company) was hilarious
Anyone in need of FTP funds? Need halps plzby YoMeR, March 23
Hey guys, been a long time since my last blog post. I've been really busy with some business stuff. I just recently opened a new cell phone business in my local area and it's been quite hectic. Anyways on to my main point. As most of you know opening a running a business, especially a start up takes lots of capital. I have a good amount of capital. Well better word for it is had since FTP can't fucking cash out for the love of them. So I propose anyone a cool deal.
I'll give you a 2% premium if you do a transfer with me via real money through wire/bank transfer for my ftp funds. I'll only accept amounts over $2000 tho. So for example if we do a 5k transfer I'll ship you 5000 + 2% on ftp and you can wire me the money via bank transfer of your choosing.
I'll do a better update in the future when I'm not so strapped for time. But as for poker it's been pretty meh. up and down and prob break evenish for past ~20-30k hands. (only got to put in about that much volume in feb/mar so far)

My my, how life has changed in such a short amount of time. It is so easy to be depressed and demoralized, thinking the world is going to end due to the circumstances in your life. I have no become a millionaire or a rocket scientist but I can't help but feel that I'm in a great place right now. I also know that happiness is temporary as life has its own low and high swings. It's a matter of dealing with it with the right attitude and I'm hoping that I have the maturity to deal with the variance as it comes and goes.
Enough of the MySpace talk and onto poker! Now that I have a part-time job with very little expenses (still at home), depositing money is not much of an issue and I find that it's doing wonders for my BR psychology. Granted this is mostly due to playing at the microstakes (5NL) but it's still good to know that losing my BR is not a big deal...if I lose it to bad variance that is. Tilting it away would still be very painful due to my competitive nature.
As for actual play, I have been practicing my ABC's by re-reading some articles that I glanced over three year ago. I'm debating whether to commit to FR or 6max but at the present moment, I'm leaning towards FR because I think it fits my personality more. I'm also running the trial version of PT3 and am probably going to buy it when it runs out because it's such great software.
I'm very glad that this community is still thriving as it's filled to the brim with very helpful people. I know that if I make a post that some good soul will reply with decent advice pretty quickly and this I take not for granted! I hope to contribute just as much if and when I get better. The tone of this post is actually sickening me a bit because it's so optimistic and full of cliches. I guess I'm still a cynic at heart
On spring break right now, gotta type 8 pages-double spaced worth of jibberish for my writing intensive class and work at the restaurant is always a bitch. Basically got like 3 days to put in 10k more hands. In the beginning of march I set a goal of putting in 50K hands for the month, but for no real reason. I just want to make that $$$ yo.
Been avg 8 tabling the nl 50 with even red line, but then I semi tilted and swung my red line down but whatevers. Starting to run below ev but really can't complain since the majority of the month i've either been running at EV or slightly above it. I just want to make sure I keep my sanity and consistently put in quality work.
The mean IQ of the population of eight graders in a city is known to be 100. You have selected a random sample of 50 children for a study of educational achievements. The first child tested has IQ of 150. What do you expect the mean IQ to be for the whole sample?
If you read this, answer whatever comes first to your mind. I expect 100% correct answer from poker players of course
Hi.I play mostly 6max, but really want to start playing HU as part of my poker progress.So here is the question, which site should I choose for a soft competition on the low HU limits.I see myself playing 20-50NL HU and I've noticed that many players prefer PartyPoker, Ipoker, and sites like this for such kind of games, so what would you recommend?
I've been looking to buy one for a longgg time and now I don't have to play poker on a 17 inch laptop screen anymore. This one looked like a pretty good deal for $150 but I'm not really sure. Already bought it so I'm pot committed but I'm curious about how good of a deal this was.
Also potentially looking to buy another one so shoot me some recommendations if you find any.
Trapped inside this octavariumby CrownRoyal, March 22
Life is hard, i'm at rock bottom.
I can't even get a job in a factory until i find something better and i owe my parents and jlost on this forum money. I feel rly terrible and it feels like the worst ive ever felt. I have this problem where I think im really special and should be doing a lot more with my life than being a common man and it pains me to even think about working for minimum or near minimum wage. I went to college last semester as a pre-engineering major in a community college and I just didn't have anywhere near the motivation to succeed and make it through all four years and since I have just been trying to find a full time job. I have had lots of leads to do work like I used to and make very respectable money. They always fall through and i waste a month or something trying to get it setup. I have a real understanding and experience working with IT stuff but it's nearly impossible to find a job doing it in a rural area like where I live. Moving seems out of the question too, I hate not knowing friends and stuff that i can spend time with going to bars and stuff. Also, beyond that, I have no resources to move to begin with.
Don't ever let yourself get in this position LP, Never forget the cardinal rule, don't ever let yourself get in a position where you are vulnerable to not be what you want. life is just.
