there's no easy way out and i'm not really sure what i was looking for all this time.
so here's to hands, volume, hours, effort and hopefully the results i'm so desperate and eager to discover
any nl200+ player willing to share advices, share hands, trade coaching plz leave message or pm.
i think i'm going to make a video if there's enough ppl willing to leave feedback. i'd be very grateful + more than willing/happy to do the same
That's a lot of swing in not that many hands... lol, sometimes I seem to get in this annoying place where I get 3bet 10-15% pre and ppl raise my flop cbets all the time... It's funny how much mindset can change when going down instead though, just trying to not let it affect me and do my best to sort this shit out.
Yo, havent been here in a long time. had to cash out pretty much all my bankroll due to RL reasons and had no time to play poker.
Now i wanna play abit again mostly for fun and to get back into it. since i noticed that i still have like 15k fpp on PS but only have like 20 $ there and no vip status i want to get my remaning 48$ from ftp to PS
so if anyone wanna help pls pm me. can offer 3$ for your trouble (45$ ps for 48 ftp). will send first to known/oldschool members.

just a few...almost busto after all this shit, time to find a job i guess
Functionality is 100% almost and gonna have it designed coz i wanna make it look pretty. thanks to edzwoo for the logonerds tip, they do a decent job for a good price. Also like to thank Lsdead for one of the most fun I had with this open source forum platform and wasting 1 month of my life trying to study it lol.
Lp is great even for non-poker related stuff that's why I love it here. Sure there's 2p2 and a zillion sites for poker stuff but this place just seems to have the right blend of people who smart,funny and cunts lol.
I hope Naz comes up with a stock/trading/forex or any kind of business site after LP coz i would hate to outgrow this site once poker becomes less and less interesting for me and or some people who wanna do business and still keep with the old-school starcraft mindset that has developed a lot of our skills in life over time. I like it here
Thanks and gl at the tables everyone
I remember asking this over a year ago, but I think alot has changed in the coaching world since then. I finally have some free time to play alot of MTTs again during December/Jan. i would like to invest some money into either a Poker Training site that has good current videos of MTTs or into someone who would do some coaching with me. I am rusty, and I do have a small bank roll. (Not playing anything more than $22 buyins)
I would be more inclined to join a training site first, unless someone gave me a very good offer! I ask because I looked up CR and I see some of the reputable names, have not been very active on there at all. Are there better sites out there for MTT players now? Who are the top video coaches out there now?
And regarding personal coaching, if anyone is doing this, what is the structure of it?
Cheers
Edit: Oh and also, if any fellow low stakes MTT players out there wanna discuss stuff, PM me, and we can exchange MSN or something. I need some MTT allies
At least I think it's #3, might actually be #4, i've lost count. NL5 rush, announced the 4 outer gutshot villain needed to hit to make his straight vs my set, allin on flop, boom gutshot on the river. Mike tyson punched the screen, wont turn back on. Although it wasnt snap tilt. I had already lost 5 allin's (one-tabling) in under 100 hands so my hands were already shaking at the keyboard. I think losing a stack every 20 hands or every 2 minutes is enough to rattle anyone. Whats worse I was $2 from hitting my bankroll goal and moving up limits. Told myself I wouldnt take any early shots and that I had to hit the $2 mark before I would try.
Anyway time to go borrow one from work. Nice 24" Dell's though, just hope the refresh rate is high enough so there's no ghosting while playing Team Fortress.

My topic keeps getting closed in general forum. I feel this is unjustified. As the topic is not bringing any harm to anyone. If you don't want to read don't read. If my ideas are whack, the topic will die. BUT WHY CLOSE IT? What is the benefit of closing a topic?
so...
Ok how about this.
1. US wants to build a defense shield in Poland.
2. Poland people strike, Poland says no to shield, the shield is put off.
3. In 2010 the plane that carries the president of poland, president of the bank of poland, minister of foreign affairs and senior polish military officers all die. Plus many other powerful people total of 96. ALl die, all of them, the plane just crashes because the pilot cant see cos of big trees. Yeah right.
4. Recent news: Russia and USA declare to build a joint defence shield.
I hope they dont have the guts to build the shield in friggen poland.
This smells fishy as hell.
Somebody tell me your thoughts on this?
Now, I can hear you saying, blah blah blah. Its such a big thing and so hard to be pulled off.
We are talking about Russia here. The agencies like KGB and CIA specialize in assassinations and other diversions. Just look at history for examples.
"During the morning of the 17th April 1984 an unarmed policewoman by the name of Yvonne Fletcher was gunned down in cold blood while on duty outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St. James Square, London. British accusations that the Libyan Government was responsible were incorrect. Yvonne Fletcher was assassinated on the direct orders of the American CIA in a coldly calculated 'Psyop' (Psychological Operation) designed to generate intense British hatred against Libya. The operation was a complete success. Two years later when the US used British air bases to launch a vicious bombing attack on Libyan civilians, only a handful of British voices were raised in protest." - src - http://www.mathaba.net/info/27a.htm
ANother one:
"The murder in London last week (1996) of KGB defector Alexander Litvinenko takes us back to the horrible memories of Soviet murders during the Cold War. Millions were murdered within the Soviet Union, but well-planned, selected murders took place in the free world." - http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18406
Other examples include assassinations of leadership of afghanistan when russia was at war with them. Replacing with their own people and running afghanistan. Back when cold war was at full swing.
What about this one:
"The assassination of Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian journalist, writer and human rights activist, took place on Saturday, 7 October 2006. Her murder, which occurred on Vladimir Putin's birthday, was widely perceived as a contract killing, sparking a strong international reaction." - wikipedia
If they are that COCKY to kill her on Putin birthday, then they can do bigger things. Just lift it to a whole new level. Because people will just think its not very feasible. Its too big. Label it a conspiracy. Hell, all you have to do is sabotage a plane with 1 CIA or KGB agent.If you know all of them are travelling in one plane. Why the fuck not? ANd voila, the plane will crash. It's not that hard. It doesnt have to be the pilot kamikazing. It doesnt have to be 1000 people in on the conspiracy. It jsut has to be one order to one dedicated KGB agent to plant a device that will cause plane malfunction.
Doesn't seem so out of the character to me. As wikileaks shown recently, there is no point trusting our leaders, they hide information from us to protect themselves. Just dont assume you know, have a speculation.
All im saying this things line up far too well in favour of the government policies. And its foolish not to question them or have a discussion on such topics.
I would like to ask you for some help.I need to clear some bonus till end of 2010 at stars and need somebody to send me 500$, i'll send to your FTP first... thnx a lot

opening Q5o against weak blinds although in a vacuum may be +ev may or may not be truly ev. there are a lot of intangible concepts here and therefore this entire section may somewhat be neglected, but i'll try to explain. if you are playing over 6+ tables and open a wide range that consists for example Q5o it may be +ev to just fold it and pay more attention to more quality hands or hands currently being played. you may have a hard time keeping up with an aggressive dynamic where the blinds have finally caught on and may be willing to 3 bet light. when playing mass tables there is always a risk of paranoia when you get 3 bet across tables and this may induce retardedness 1 every few thousand hands that will stagnate your winrate. also there is some argument that if you are easily tiltable and have a hard time resisting double barreling you should prob cut back on wide ranges.
hand reading
- accurate hand reading helps you bluff when your behind but more importantly helps you make razor thin vbets. piecing hand ranges together through information from pf, flop and turn is quite hard to do and will take alot of practice. i suggest playing 4 tables max and practice hand reading in uninvolved hands as well.
shot taking
-do it often. do it aggressively. shot taking (for me at leasT) makes you a little bit more desensitized to money (which i think is somewhat neccessary). it helps you play your best game with no consequence for money when you move back down to your own limits. because it's like playing for chump change. it sorta removes a sense of fear and intimidation. also taking shots may help you realize that you aren't so bad after all. that the skill difference is marginal. playing for higher money may also motivate you to reach that limit in the future. when i reached 1/2 i was amazed that stealing the blinds yielded 3 whole dollars. 3 mcdoubles. real substantial monies vs nl25 where you win .35.
horizontal vs vertical learning
-lately i feel that my fundamentals have expanded. like you learn about hand strength. and then position. and then blind play. and then 3 betting from the blinds. and then calling 3 bets in position. and then 3 betting in position. and then how imba and unexploitable position can be. this is what i consider horizontal learning where you are learning somewhat newer information and newer skills. personally, i feel as though there is not that much more for me to learn horizontally. however vertically alot of my skills are laughable, shabby, and exploitable. vbetting includes much more than getting value over 3 streets for instance. i vary my bet sizes so infrequently, i reuse the standard lines i've developed and run them into the ground. i suppose you can consider it "creativity" but what it really comes down to is developing your current skills vertically so you are much better and adept at vbetting, 3 betting, etc. i can tell you for a fact that it still blows my mind how i don't vbet larger. although preflop/cbet sizes should be somewhat standardized there is still so much room to increase winrate through a little bit of thinking about the simplest thing, bet sizing.
although it may be somewhat relaxing to mindlessly grind away over 10 tables and solidify good strong lines and simple ranges, it behooves you to try your utmost hardest to think deeply about the game whenever possible and to try to max out all your current skills while still learning new ones.
lastly, the part no one wants to hear
-there is nothing wrong with playing poker as a hobby. furhtermore there is nothing wrong with being a losing poker player. there is something wrong though if the money matters. if money spent on poker should be spent elsewhere like family, bills and savings. i hope you are either smart enough to know when to quit, or have friends around you who love you enough to put themselves in hard and awkward spot to make it known to you of a potential problem. this is prob a somewhat delicate subject and this is all i have to say about that.
in conclusion, i hope this guide is helpful and having received lots of generous help and tips myself this is my way of paying it forward.
