I just started playing poker again at 0.05/0.10 NL and was wondering if anyone can give me constructive criticism on my current statistics. I should also mention that I play 6max 20-50BB tables.
Is it possible to graph a specific limit in HEM? Like for example I want to have a graph of my 1/2 life time. If not wtf? If so how do I do it? Thanks!
I'm looking to play a bit on Full Tilt Poker just to get a hang of the games and I'd rather not spend days waiting for my Stars account to cash out. Would anyone be interested in a trade for my $50 Stars for your $50 FTP? Given my post count and non-existant reputation, I will be sending first if you are somewhat reputable.
I realize I haven't done an intro blog even though I meant too months ago. Just never got around too it after I got sick. Long story short, I've been playing poker the last 2-3 years and although I started playing strictly 12-tabling 6-max tables I now gravitate between 50/100/200 NL HU cash games and MTTs when I have a chance. I've lurked the site for the last two years and decided maybe I should give it a shot. Basically do cash on FT and MTTs on both when I have time.
Today has actually been the first good day I've had this week. I managed to get 14th in the $8.8 25K 2xTurbo on Stars, which actually got me incredibly pissed of as I managed to make Final 2 tables yesterday prior to meeting the Doom Switch. Luckily today I managed to place 5th in 11:00 AM $75 $35,000 KO on Full Tilt for a $2,275 take. At first I was upset I didn't make it higher obviously, but the irony of it all is that I should have came in 9th as I came in as the small stack.
About 5 minutes after the Final Table started, I had a serious case of the runs [wtf!] and literally had to bust out my best road-runner impersonation as I went to pay homage to the porcelain Gods. At any rate, I come back and hover over my folded hole cards [TT] and do my best "WHAT THE FUCK!" face. However, as I immediately see 2 separate players move all in with AA and AK respectively, I realized that maybe luck wason my side today. The rest was history.
The weeks been rather testing but I'm glad I'm logging time again. I've been able to log 48, 40, 60, and 51 tournaments each of the last four days [TY FT for Multi-entriments], which was more than I ever did which was around 30 on average whenever I had a chance.
Busy weekend so only playing some MTT's on Sunday. Going for a 5th cash in the turbo take down, cmon 500 bonus!
All 25PLO, need to play more hands next month im sooo lazy. If anyone wants to do a sidebet for motivation im down. Something small like $50 to the other guy if you dont play 60k hands.
I'll take the weekend offby DustySwedeDude, January 28
Ok, so I've decided to put January in the books. My profit isn't great by any means but it's ok. Still more then twice what my parents does toghter, lol. Poker makes weird things to your perception of money. I've played pretty low and after two losing months it always feels good to turn it around. As far as the goals I put up goes I'd say I did so-so as poker goes. I put in the right volume, but not the right quality. I've started coaching a little bit and even though I havn't really got the hang of it yet it's ok. Slow but steady. I haven't watched enough poker videos, mostly due to some problems with my Bluefire subscription. I should probably fix the last part this weekend and the take steps to organise my life a little better.
Also I tend to see the girl I'm seeing right now for to many hours at a time. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that she's both fairly pretty and smarter then me. It's weird to actually have a conversation with a girl about anything remotely interesting (ie: not feelings) and stuff I actually have some use for in my every day life. It's fucking up my sleeping schedule even worse then poker though so I'll need to fix that.
As for the other goals I've started talking more to some interesting people, I've read two and a half book (but all by Pratchett ) and I haven't done enough BJJ. Investing is going semi-decent though, and I've been taking a lot of long ass walks and eating fairly clean. I'm down to something like 87-88kg from the 90 I started at in the beginning of the month so that's nice. I've also done reasonably well in school and managed to clean up my e-mail, rrs and facebook account a little bit so that I don't spend half the day figuring that shit out.
Overall I'll say it's been a very interesting and fairly productive month despite the fact that I've underperformed slightly. My plans for February would be to get my sleeping under control, figure out a good way to get a few hours of poker in most days without playing to bad and getting my bluefire account active again. I also hope to get a lot of BJJ in, I really start to feel that it's fun again.
What video sites out there are good now days for a former biggamerollaballa winner thats now losing on nl10 (starting again after 123 years off poker)?:D
.The piano and sax samples are definetly from another song and not recorded specially for this track if someone remembers from which song they are please tell me
Is gonna be so hard to keep up with the VPP pace. Hopefully will get to 40k this month then 150k by february. Also played some MTTs tho today and cashed $0 so dropped 1k ish there.
Looking to move about $250 from Stars to UB. I'm willing to send first if I think you're reputable and I have people who can vouch for me as well. Thanks!
tl. dr. wikileaks is bs and is easily predicted what the cause of it is(and so are other systems)
1. Assange put a face on it. Why?? Why label?
now wikileaks doesnt release anything. Who cares about assange, just leak the damn info.
Why are the cables taking so long? You said you have fucking loads(gigabytes)? Is there any useful info in them??? Just leak the shit out. The public will sort out whats important and whats not.
2. What is the most hyped up leak of wikileaks? killing journalists. Shitting me? Is this even real.
3. Assange makes fun of people who ask him about leaking ufo files. Why?? Dude wtf.
"Many weirdos email us about UFOs or how they discovered that they were the anti-christ whilst talking with their ex-wife at a garden party over a pot-plant."
- why the fuck he degrades people who esquire about the ufos(it is interesting enquiry!! its like he changes personality when he answers that question, in a totally differnet tones to all other questions.. why??).
I believe ufo was a big propaganda during the 80s. ANd if there is hidden info about it. It would shed alot of light on wtf is happening. COs dude if they actually found bodies of aliens. And i think they were claiming that they have. THat whould change everything. Kaboom. But that info is not available for public...it is kept safe! by your government! for your benefit! Patriotism!!! woohoooo!
aliens? kept secret from me for my benefit? how exactly???
4. a challenge - we release a huge file heavly encrypted. If you can decrypt it. You will know wtf we're hiding. Wtf man. Thats the military style encryption. Military..
And we all know what military does. Right? Carries out wars.
To see where Im coming from you have to sort of dip into the thought that all mass media is propaganda or at least a tool that is used and abused for to benefit someone - those who can control it. Tool utilised to remain in control.
An institution that tries to survive as long as possible.
But anyway this is only my opinion, my theory. A thought that I came to by observing the way we live. And exist in the system that we are in. I believe I can predict the system. ANd this is why inherently - this 'system' will always selfdestruct.
History is prime example. Societies always fall. Economies fall.
But anywayyyyyyyyy
thats whole another planet i live on.
Needless to say. I just came back from BDYO in sydney. WHICH WAS FUCKING AMAZING BY THE WAY. TOOL - i submit to my new overlords. Geniuses at making music.
Was on a FT of a $2 180man (I won btw) and some guy kept saying "SC1PIO BROTHER NEED $3". Felt like I was doing him a service by not giving it to him to support what I assume to be a gambling addiction.
Gonna try to finish out January strong, gonna grind some NL10 short while it still exists and smash some fish.
Hi everyone, this is my first blog post and I just have a simple request for anyone who's willing to help me out.
Due to the recent eCheck bonanza, I cannot withdrawal using this method, and I am forced to do wire/paper check only. So, instead of waiting a few weeks for one of those stupid paper checks, I'm asking to trade my Stars for your PayPal, even if that means losing the extra $$ from PayPal fees. Looking to trade about $60 by the way, and I will send first if I recognize your LP name or you have some refs.
On another note, I've finally started playing a good volume for the first time in my poker career too, so wish me luck guys.
A week ago I decided to leave Stars finally and move to Merge. A site with higher (WAY HIGHER) RB than my goldstar bullshit. But I decided to leave $50 on Stars => You know, nostalgia and stuff. But then I found out my debit card doesn't work and I will have to wait a week for a new one in order to be able to deposit. So I was left with $50 @ Stars, just like in the old days and I just made a challenge to do something with that money, and run it up until I get my card back and can deposit money I withdrew to Merge.
My strategy was different from the two degens that decided to have a run at NL50 HU at this site.
-Start at NL2 BSS, 16 table, and $2 HU SnG
-Add some NL10 SSS+NL25 SSS when I'm tired ( never played SSS but a monkey could do that. I have 0 Respect for Pokerpoopy being anything special)
-Once I had around 18 BI I went for NL10 BSS
-Once I was below that, I went for NL5 BSS because SSS sucks balls
-for FPPS I would buy into Sunday 1/4mil Hyperturbo 235FPP sats. With winnings I would unregister, and trade with LP or play HU SnG.
-I'd play also HU SnGs, $2-$10 I played like 40 of these. Its also a good way to trade in your T$ for 100%
-If I didn't stop, I'd keep grinding NL10 and move to NL25 at 20BI
I ran like shit at NL10 6max, some 10BI below ev (that's a lot when you play with 20BI roll) and pretty much broke even there. I also noticed that no matter what stake I play, being attentive is super important, and when I 20table 6max NL10 and watch a movie at the same time my win rate is slashed to almost breaking even.
The same lesson comes from HU SnG, at the micro level its pretty much only about having patience, finding a counter strategy, sticking to it and not snapping. Beating the 100VPIP fish or maniacs is also much harder than in Cash HU, as if you wait for too long to play just non-marginal spots you blind out.I had some epic battles including a 1hr $5 SnG vs a solid micro grinder which went into 100/200 blinds in a regular SnG.
It was quite hard getting used to 20 tabling when I 4-6 table almost always, but I was freaking obsessed with the re-grinding so I stuck with it. I didn't feel fired up for poker like this in a very long time, and it was really surreal and I didn't shave or go out almost at all, a true obsession
I think I ran out of gas for day 6 when I couldn't focus on 20 tabling 6max, and had to just go for some 4 table crushaments (the spike at the end). Imo if I played 5 days fulltime with 2day no poker weekend it would be sustainable to keep this up and be attentive at the same time, but i was too drained for the 9k hands day 6.
So anyway, I started with $50, and after 6 days my Stars roll is at $250, for a decent NL10 tilt roll. My debit card has arrived and its now time for Merge, where you get a ton of hands on the same regs because of the small player pool and where NL25 HU is present and the fish/reg ratio is higher.
Still it is good to know that if I do go totally busto, there is always a way back for me
Now I am back to LP (sorry for not replying to PMs guys, I was submerged in this thing ;o), and my usual 4tabling routine and stakes, just on a different site, but it sure was fun to start from the bottom once again and to know I can do it
