| | Progress report - NL25 by edzwoo, March 08
So as some of you know, I used some FPPs to bink Sunday Million satellites, which I turned into cash and gave myself a shiny new $500 bankroll. I've been itching to play some limits where I would be able to have some stress free fun, so NL25 seemed somewhat of a good idea. There are some people in my club that are struggling around these limits as well, so I figured why not journal my progress and sessions? It'll help me think a little clearer when I'm trying to explain stuff to other people anyway.
I'm going with the approach of playing very loose and not really caring too much if some hands may be marginal or arguably -EV. I think this is extremely beneficial for me because I am forced to find more difficult bluff and vbetting spots. Ideally this is educational for others as well.
So anyway...

The stats are mixed with some 2-4 handed, so with 6 people I'm running somewhere around 35/25 8% 3bet. I was also trying to 12 table, but I kept timing out. There was also this one table where two people to my left were 3betting 25%, and I lost like 15bbs before I realized what was going on. So I cut it down to 10 and things got a lot better. If I wanted to play my super A+ game though, I'd probably need to drop it to 6 or so. If I do a video at some point, I'll probably have to do 4 since my thoughts are usually pretty scattered when I try and talk while playing. It does help that I'm running hot too  .
I'll just go over 2 hands I thought were interesting, whether or not they were played well.

This is a spot that comes a lot, but to be honest I never really tried to do because I would be too scared. It should be rather standard for midstakes people to understand, but probably not something people at this limit would ever think about.
Villain is a relatively loose and bad Supernova player and raises UTG. I am flatting here extremely with things that don't even do well against a UTG range like QTo because both blinds are passive fish with 50+VPIP, and getting into pots with them should more than make up for being up against UTG's range.
Flop and turn is pretty simple. I have top pair. Maybe you can argue folding turn against nits, but I think on a KTx board you have to consider sometimes they might barrel gutshots.
River is funny. Villain bets 70% pot flop, 70% pot on turn, then tanks for a few seconds and bets under half pot on river. I'm just going to jam here because I think he's almost always betting here for value (in which case I don't beat him), but he probably bets like 7-8 if he actually had a flush. The second point is that I can rep a flush/straight pretty hard if I jam here since I'd take this same line with an FD.
One big flaw though, I honestly can't say I have a clear cut read on the guy other than his general weak playstyle, the line he took, and his sizing. Still, it felt good to me.

Flop and turn sizing was for value and protection on this texture. This was one of the villains that had 25% 3bet, but it dipped a bit to 16% (went to war with him twice, 4bet failed once and worked the second time) and his vpip/pfr evened out to around 19/12 or so. I made the mistake of thinking we were CO vs BTN here which imo affects this spot a lot.
Thought process at the time was he's probably 3betting KQ and better, and I figured my hand was good a lot, but I think he can have 8 combos of QJ and I don't want to lose to that. Also, if he does have something like KJ which peeled two streets, he's gonna be in a tough spot. Oddly enough I completely misread what his calling range was, and a big factor probably had to do with him assuming my range was really wide because it was SB vs BB. In a results oriented sense, I guess I played the hand perfectly since his calling range at this moment had every Ax and Tx, but I can't say I did it on purpose. It is kind of an enlightening thing though to realize your range can sometimes be perceived so differently.
Anyway, looking back I don't like how I played the hand with the reads I had. I'm already making a bit of an assumption that he can never have something like KQ here, and I honestly can't say he was going to fold QJ or KJ there, not to mention a flaw in my thinking is he probably has combos of KT. I didn't have much time to think it through and it was mostly narrow minded, "I'M GOOD A LOT BUT QJ MUST FOLD." I like my flop and turn play though.
There's a lot of other minor things I wasn't considering like possible slowplayed flushes and he might be raising QT on the flop, so it really doesn't make much sense to turn my hand into a bluff here.
Anyway, I'm getting pretty tired. Ideally I score a few more big wins and get to play some NL50 . Then I'll definitely beat Teng out of that prop bet.

I am ready to start grinding again. Whats the best site to start on?
Also, if anyone wants to make $1, stake me $10, once I get to $20, I'll send $11. I'm an RA and have to work the front desk for 6 hours tonight, so i'd like to play tonight, and I can't send money using debit card b/c my bank won't let me.
If you can help let me know!!
Thanks

| | STAKE?! by thumbz555, March 07
Looking for a stake for... SCRATCH-ITS! 83/17 in your favor, whatever amount you want. This is +EV for you, cuz I'm DUE!
http://imgur.com/pS4fQ.png
Just so you know, last time I got a scratch-it, I doubled my buy-in.
We can grind micro-scratch-its, or we can move up to where they respect my scratch. Your call.
UPDATE:

| | Microsoft Excel Help by Chewits, March 06
Any excel pros help me out here?
Basically I want to be able to put scroll bars into a single cell. I have a database that in certain sections, a cell has lots and lots of text, and does not fit visibly on the cell. So I want to be able to have a scroll bar to scroll through all the text in that single cell.
I suck at googling and not having much joy so far.
Cheers

| | IM BACK by GoTuNk, March 06
I didn't wanted to blog anymore as I felt I failed in every goal I had for the summer break and felt kinda embarrased, specially about poker.
I didn't excercise, didnt eat healthy (doesnt matter as I was expecting to massive drink) and did REALLY bad at poker.
After losing around 40bi's at nl100 I moved down (should have waaaaaaaay earlier) I lost another 8bi to almost busto at nl50, but I've made around 15bi during february that makes my bankroll healthy enough. I didn't cash fpp though, currently at 105k (1300 usd for non supernova)
I still think i've learned a lot of poker and should just put the volume to move back up again.
My business going great, sells won't stop and we even ordered a 2nd shipment with 8k, 12k, 32k and 48kg bells (we had 16,20,24 kg before)
I also picked up STARCRAFT again with the intentions of quitting when summer break is over, but I will quit after I win ISL =). I qualified for Ro32 of ISL given i'm a huge geek and played 200 games in 3 weeks after quiting for like 1 year and I'm very good at
p v z (ISL=http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=190866)
Anyways, I think its time to come foward and actually pick up the EV+ route of cut on drinking/play more poker so I can get fit and win some moneys finally.
Wanna a add an e-blow job to TalentedTom cause I really like his advice for every hand that is posted here.
Also I'm looking foward AC Milan to finally win Serie A after gattuso's goal which meant 1-0 over juventus and a momentary 8pts lead over Inter (it makes me super happy aside from being Milan fan cause I actually look like gattuso and play football similar to him lol)
Also wanna tell everyone interested on working out to read "Power to the People" by pavel Tsatsouline as I think that book changed my life forever for good.
I'm semi drunk now which makes my grammar sucks, but I hope u enjoy this entry which means nothing but my current situation.
Regards, as always I love lp, u guys are awsome =)

| | Introductions and Ramblings by Armodafinil, March 06
TL and LP lurker, deciding to finally get involved in the community here. I'm a bad player starting to grind at microlimits, trying to learn and get better at this game. I'm looking for other players to discuss hands and such with, send me a message!
I study mathematics at a university in Colorado. I'm very interested in abstract algebra and mathematical logic. If you also do that sort of stuff or are just interested feel free to message me or whatever, I love discussing ideas with people. Also feel free to give me shit about how the math I study isn't actually relevant to poker in any way.
I have a sleep disorder and am awake at extremely varying times, having people in widely varying timezones to talk to would thrill me. I do a lot of stuff and study a great variety of things, conversation doesn't have to be about poker.
TalentedTom is my hero and my poker career goal is to troll the shit out of Hellmuth in person.
Cheers!

| | life by NighTLesS15, March 05
It is amazing how quickly life can change. In the blink of an eye it can go from good to bad, and bad to good as well. I was fairly nervous about moving to school, but as of right now I can not wait to get away. I will be attending Humboldt State this fall so if anyone on here goes there or is going there maybe we can kick it have a beer when i move up there. I do not really know how what to do with these next five months, but one thing I can say for sure right now is that I am glad I have the opportunity to get away. Also Trying to turn into an optimist as opposed to the permanent realist i have been. So lets go school? .. weird
