72k VPPs for the last 48 days now, graph is looking like a lifetime graph, wtf, hard to believe this was just the last month and a half:
i'll send FTP for pokerstars. looking to transfer a decent amount 5K-ish. any amount would help. i'll send first to reputable members or send in increments. pm me with ur Skype or AIM.
For the first time in my life I agree with Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, and even Geraldo! Finally we all have an issue that we can agree on because it is so blatantly obvious - LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!
I need to know if my comp can run a 30 inch monitor at max resolution.
Comp specs:
OS: Windows Vista SP 1
Gfx card: Nvidia Geforce GT120 1GB version
Processor: Intel Core 2 quad Q8200
Ram: 8 GB DDR2
If I can't run it, what needs to be upgraded? It's important that the monitor can run smoothly at max res because I am going to be playing a lot of tables.
Thanks LP!
Yeah thats right, I got colluded against in an online game of team fortress. lol. They introduced this dueling system whereby you can challenge other people to a duel in-game, and whoever kills the other the most wins. You get this wearable badge with a track record of your progress that everyone can see. Of course being the good player than I am I accept any and all duels, and only challenge opponents at the top of the scoreboard.
So some random player insta-challenges me as soon as I join the game which I thought was weird, maybe he knew me or something. I accept, and start pwning his ass 2-0, but noticed it was pretty damn difficult to accomplish. Then he starts getting kills on me, and im like "fuck this guy is pretty good... *respect*". Then I run up on him again and all the sudden he's in uber mode which makes him invincible. I haul ass and survive, find him a minute later, and he ubers again. Then it dawns on me, this punk mother fucker has a pocket medic following him around. Thats why it was so damn hard to kill him the first 2 times. As I continue to seek him out, there's his little bitch boyfriend medic by his side keeping him alive time and time again. By the time I realized I was being set up he had overtaken my lead 3-2.
The match ended and I lost my perfect 15-0 record. Then what do I behold? He snap challenges someone else, someone who was like 8th on the board, a random player like a pyro or something, totally worthless. This fucking cuntbag is running around the server issuing duels against people and then stacking a medic against them to inflate his shitty little dueling record. No fucking class. I think I'm just gonna delete my badge and try to start over.
Played some more...still running really good in them...would like to get a good days volume in tomorrow...only got about 20 Ninety mans in today...but running at over 100% roi is fun...weeeeeee ride the heater i guess....gonna play some more...also...anyone around the STL area know any good casinos with low stakes (20-30 dollar BI) tournaments that run regularly...looking for some live action just to have some fun and screw with fish...
meh... fun fun
Busted the ME at the end of day 1A after being CL at some point, then was down $3.5k at cash so shit was going bad but then I got even after winning a 720bb pot -> 97cc x 43 on 2x56cc 8c (BINK nice flop slowplay -> turn overbet shove, bro).
And then played the Second Chance and took it down for ~$13.6k. Ship!
Ok I was at the autoshow toronto this year but I didn't stay at the Jag section long because they were all snotty pricks and only had 3 cars to show. I finally looked over their cars tonight after seeing the new Saab 95 (which idk seems okish just depends I guess) and moved on to better things.
So here is the new XJ, I like the front and tbh I think they pulled off a pretty nice car. Their other XF front end is kind of gayish but that car is decent too. Pretty much the benz CLS was my fav 4door sedan, but I mean there are lots I like. So here are some pics of the XJ, thoughts?
I'm in the process of just trying other sites out but I have 25$ on FTP that I would like to use on Stars. If anybody wants to trade I'll go first to reputable members. 25$ may not seem like much but I'm still learning so yeah ~_~

still running good after yesterday's momentary madness
consciously tried to tighten up, im folding AJ and KQ in EP, but I'm still running at 24/20
I cut my 3betting from 9% to 4% and doing my image some good
learning to give up more post flop and i find it really helps me fold when I tell myself im going to post the graph haha..helps me fight the curiosity
Big thing i want to work on is playing in the blinds. Im not losing alot, but I feel like improving in this area would really help.
Whats a standard calling range?
vs a 17/14 reg with 45% attempt to steal?
vs a 13/9 tag who's playing 17/14 OTB?
and on the flop, i pretty much have no clue what i should do with my entire range....TP/SP/backdoor draws...
any good literature on this topic would be very appreciated

good night and good luck,

Very very close and yet so far. My MTT game has really improved but there are some situations that I would love to discuss with solid players. I will post some hands but if anybody wants to talk theory/mindset in certain spots please feel free to PM me.
This month, thanks to scammy FTP black card marketing I played my most ever:
There is the "Macau Poker Cup" coming up in two weeks, and I am really on the fence about going. I'm sure the tournament is going to be very +ev, but I would be paying the buyin in full (2.3k) as well as hotel / flight / opportunity cost of grinding. I would also be playing other events of course so we're looking at risking 4-5k. Really have to put some thought into it.
Hello, my name is Michael and I am 22 years old. I've recently graduated the University of Florida with a degree in Economics. After graduating I had a lot of down time just sending resumes and looking for jobs. After no real interest or response from the job market I started to play a lot more online poker. I dabbled in it for some very small pocket change at my time here at UF (I strongly recommend focusing on school) and decided to pick it back up. I was able to beat nl 10, nl 50, and nl 100 and am now about to move up to nl 200. This will probably be my hardest challenge yet as I believe there to be a somewhat steep learning curve at nl 200. Also I am now mainly a live poker player looking to move to Tampa (Hard Rock).
I don't really know why I am writing this but I just had a strong urge to do so. I don't really recommend poker as a lifestyle or a profession but as a stepping stone or corner stone for further development financially and humane-ly (progress as a human being). There is plenty to learn and although it is not the beautiful art form that Chess and Go are perceived to be it is still a valuable self test of discipline, analytical skills, determination and more.
This post is somewhat disorganized as half bio and half inquiry of potential coaches and rates.
I feel like my skill has grown where I feel VERY comfortable with playing a somewhat wide range of hands post flop in mainly SINGLE raised pots. I think I navigate very well and I think this is my MAIN source of profit/edge on other players.
I am dabbling into the world of 3 betting but quite frankly I find it largely unnecessary due to my solid post flop skills in single raised pots.
I do have a hard time playing in 3 bet pots mainly because I have such a hard time putting people on hand ranges. I used to try and trap with AA and KK pf, but I don't feel like they value-cut themselves frequent enough, and instead I would call 3 barrels when they had random 2 pairs like K9 or random sets/etc. As with everything in poker I'm sure it's situational but I suppose I'm looking for some clarity in 3 bet play.
I guess lastly I would like to know any recommendations of coaches and prices and if anyone is willing to do a shorter half price session just so I can see your style of coaching.
I put this topic in the general section but didn't get a response so I'm posting it here. I am willing to put $20 on the Giants getting + 3 1/2 points vs the Cowboys tonight. If anyone wants to take the Cowboys I will confirm it ASAP. I can transfer over FTP. Game starts in 15 mins.
