Have no motivation to play online atm, not putting any volume. Only 4k VPPs away from my goal so there's really no point in playing, I find it hard to set money goals, it just creates frustation. Really really bored with the grind, so I moved up but I run sick sick bad at the 115s because apparently -150k fishes hit gutshots always. Also really busy with uni.
Today tho I went to play some live 1/2 3-card holdem and in a short 3.5 hours session I busted everyone at the table (~10 ppl) except one guy (who didn't wanna play HU for some reason ), for a 2.5k profit, so that was nice. 3-card holdem is the shit, basically you get pairs every hand and hit sets every other hand and stack ppl when you do because no one folds anything ever its live poker duhh.
Well since im far to lazy to build a computer and i figured there'd be good deals right about now i thought id look for a new computer since mine is getting a little old.
was curious as to what people think of this computer? probably wanting to play some games ( not competitive games where i'll need 100fps or w/e ) just some of the newish single player games to play about when high/bored and dont feel like pokering. will this type of machine run them decently smooth?
Anonymous tables on Primaby Almebeast, November 25
Played my first session in november today and noticed that they had added this annoying invention. All villains are just named player 1-5 and their avatars dont show. HUDs and notes become useless since stats for player 1 are gathered from all player 1s at all tables. Notes on player 1 appear on all player 1s. You cant even keep handwritten notes beside your comp since there is no way of recognizing a player after that session.
Has anyone played these things? My first impression was that the anonymous games seemed to be drawing all the fish (low stakes NLHE). They do however take away the edge of using stats,taking notes, table selecting etc. Even so I think they're probably more profitable for me than the regular games used to be. However, they're incredibly boring imo since they kill the history/table image aspect of the game.
Also, the regular games are now fewer and tougher since only the regs who use huds and/or take notes have any real incentive to play in them. So that's not really an option anymore.
I guess Ill be playing this crappy version of poker for a while and see how it works out.
When I haven't played poker in a while, I tend to not be able to stop after I start especially when the games are really good. It's 6am, and I just finished playing 50plo for over 16 hours. I don't know whether I should be happy that I've just had my best session ever or that I have problems quitting. I have such a huge headache right now. It doesn't feel like I've won.
need more chat buddies in skype groupby whamm!, November 24
we have a small group of LP members in our group but both dogmeat and lildean have sold their soul to the pokerstars SNE program and cant really chat until the end of the year lol. fujikura, me and some other people are still active most times and would like more non-shady LP guys in it - its been around for over a year and wed love to see it grow. you can avoid hearing the sound of updates or chatter if you find is annoying/disruptive theres an option in skype for it. it would be great to add more people in this group. we dont make any intrusive group calling shit so you dont have to worry about that haha. just pm me or fuji and well insta snap add you if you're not a 10 post Lp member - maybe 11 will do lol. peace guys and gl at the tables.
Ok I have some cash from a recent Vegas trip exploiting those 1/2 happy players BUT I would like to add some of that cash on to my FTP account. However the only way I can do it is to convert to GBP £ sterling and then convert back. I figure this will cost me at least $50 so I would rather give it to someone here.
What am I proposing?
I send (via fedex whatever cheapest insured) a VERY reputable US LP member $1050 USD and they credit my FTP account with $1000 once the cash arrives with them.
Any takers for a risk free $50 and to do me a big favor please PM me.
If you leave the topic empty while creating a blog, the entire blog gets wiped out! 13/10/3 is apparently losing strategy vs 40/5/0 players. Gonna run a test. I am playing only JJ+ and AK+ for 1000 hands. GOGO!
will be looking at newegg.com black november specials
amd motherboard vs intel motherboard? (along with compatible case)
then which processor?
then what video card/sound card?
then what ram?
then what hard drive?
then what disk drive? (including burner)
then what cpu fan/power adaptor?
Desktop for gaming, school, entertainment
p.s.
will i be able to switch out my disk and hard drive from my hp lap top to build the desktop?
EPT Prague - selling action ?!by sChOuA, November 23
Hey there
I'll go to Prague for the EPT Main event starting on the 13th of december.
The main event is EUR 5k + 300 buyin and its going to be my first big live tournament.
For those who dont know me, I'm playing since beginning of this year regularly the nl400 games and getting into nl600 and even 1k as of lately (I started grinding online in Nov 08 at NL10).
I'm up close to 100k this year, including rakeback so if i'm not on one big upswing i guess i can beat the games.
I'm thinking to sell action at 1:1 and just want to see if there is any interest here.
Please leave a post or send a PM if you are interest.
If i sell action the minimum is 5% (EUR 265).
Cheeers
PS: If someone else is going there which i dont know yet, shoot me a PM and we can meet i guess.
PSS: all my older posts got nuked because of a technical issue, so i'm not a scamer or whatever you can ask any mod for confirmation, just to have it clear :-)
So yesterday I played a $1 double or nothing sit n go at PokerStars and from that experience I came to the conclusion that I could probably get to top5 by just folding every single hand. Not this game however.
I went up against a round of player who seemed to employ this very same strategy, folding everything unless they got a high pocket pair or broadway cards. By adjusting my game, I was chip leader the entire game because everyone folded their hands. A lot of the time I ended up raising ~5-7 BB with absolute trash hands and raked in the money.
I think I played maybe 80% of my hands, yet I only saw the flop maybe up to ten times, five of those when other people called each others all-ins for eliminating the other player.
Are these kinds of styles common in micro-stakes sit n go tournaments? I've played some turbo ones but I've never really got any good hands and lost because I either played poorly preflop and postflop. Should I avoid turbo sit n go's all together? Are they bad for someone who's pretty new (~2500 hands played total or something)?
