I been really loving poker lately, I have so much fun playing now.. really grateful to have it in my life. Im going to be taking a nl200 shot tomorow, im usually very bad at taking shots since I play over aggro or scared money and end up tilting, but im over rolled now.. so I don't see myself tilting, hopefully it goes well wish me luck
Went to the casino again to play 2/5 now that I had the bankroll for it enough to buy in and easily made 1.3k despite running bad (chopped 64 x 63 on 578 on 1st hand and then 53ss x 53o on 42ssAx) After leaving the table I remembered Byrnesam's comment on my last blog and headed to the roulette tables, only to find out THERE WEREN'T ANY WTF!? They don't have neither craps or roulette in there, sick. So I left disappoint.
Also played a small sess today, even tho I was 10-tbling at some point:
Checking this draw on the flop vs aggressive regs makes them do silly things. If he removed flushes from my range then why is he bluffin w/ the nut blocker? Does he really think im folding a flush here? He should have just lead on the river.

Just curious as to what the feelings about this are on this site. What I've read on other sites is pretty much against it. I personally don't see how it can be a good thing.
The high stakes level is going to now be saturated with regs and good players 4x and then some fish 1x'ing. It also hurts the lower level in two ways imo
1) It will push more good players down to that level. People playing 26's are now going to be playing 5's 4x and so on.
2) It makes its MUCH more difficult to get started and BR properly
If you are a micro guy, and they make too many of these tourneys multi-entry then you are screwed into playing out of your BR, or doing the -EV thing and single reging. I'm fine with having this as an option, but they need to make new tourneys so rather than change current ones.
Apparently the entire double guarantee week is going to be multi-entry, every tournament.
Seems like its going to be bad.
Also the way merging works seems to be terrible. If there are 2 tables and you have the top 2 stacks, and it breaks to FT you get hosed. And I don't even want to think about the ICM calculations that people could come up with...eww...
All in all, I kinda like that FTP is trying stuff, trying to revolutionize the game, but this isn't it, and I hope they don't get out of control with this idea.

Hi all,
I've decided to try to get better at MTT/multi player sit n goes. Since there are quite a few good tourney players on this site, I thought I'd ask a simple question. What stats do you put on your HUD (if you use one)?
Went to a casino for the first time ever, Hard Rock Casino on Hollywood, FL. It's awesome, so many degens in one place, sick! Ppl just throwing money away everywhere!
Only had 200 bucks with me so I wanted to put it on black obviously, but my nit friend made me go play poker, 1-2, he thought it was smarter. Steamrolled the table full of 20bb nits to win a whooping $200 (which is what I would've won on roulette anyway ).
Still not on "SNE mode" so only playing a few games here and there, things back to normal rungood-wise since my last post:
PC must be powered on and running for 1 hour before any poker sessions begin. My sweet gaming rig has had a defective video card for the last year now, that seems to crash as the system warms up for the first 30 minutes or so. Entire system freezes and I have to reboot to clear it up. If it has sat for a good hour then it runs stably for the rest of the night. Nothing like getting home, opening a table, flopping the nut straight on a 234 board in a 4way raised pot OTB, just to have my pc lock up as I'm typing in my raise amount.
In fact, I've heard of people keeping a laptop on standby as a backup in such crisis as down internet or something. I'll keep my cellphone tethered to that too just in case.
I was about to sleep at around 3am when i see this filipino act's music video and just wanted to share it coz its about bret's favorite topic lol
pretty cool tune
Last 50 hands were single tabling against sick maniac after I lost 90bb (250bb deep) folding 66 on 557K to a 3bet, flop b/3b, and a turn overbet. Turns out this was a terrible fold, as he proceeded to play 70/40/20 and overbet both flop and turn with any two. Finally got my money back after playing 100% VPIP for a couple orbits and waiting to flop a pair.
