Sup people.
So yeah I met this girl in Prague at the wedding yeah... You guys said don't be dumb call her yada yada
I did, seen her 2 times afterwards and then she emailed me that a friend pulled out of a holiday in Bulgaria, it;s her and another couple and if I wanna go. Snapcall innit. Here is the pics.
Couple days before the holidays I lost my flat in Liberec, Landlord couldn't get me normal internet in 12 months, always was here like 4times per month, and a year is a good time to move... And there's a room in Prague for $300 incl. all bills good location in a flat where my younger sister stays and mum rents...And it's 3km from her flat. So in a couple weeks I'll be moving to Prague to pursue proper pokers. Summer is almost done and with it getting bombed 3-4 times per week.
Stay cool LP

Not really a natural poker playerby The Dean, August 27
This is a question that I have asked myself many times and the fact that I am asking the question at all would confuse an awful lot of people. I play poker so I must be a “poker player” would be many peoples reply. Of course there is some truth to that as anyone that plays poker is technically a poker player but that isn’t what I was referring to. When I say “poker player” then I am referring to being a “natural poker player”. I think natural poker players simply take to the game and have to do far less work than other people.
For example you have already mentally evolved before you come into poker and because poker is a mental game then any issues that you have away from poker will be highlighted within the game itself. So if you are easily bored then you will probably become easily bored at the poker table. Also what about compulsive behaviour? If you are prone to compulsive behaviour by way of over drinking, over eating or anything else then you may have problems controlling your behaviour at the poker table.
At its very core then poker is a simple game although it has the capacity to be complicated immensely, it is just that as humans we tend to automatically complicate things. Also because a human being is many times more complex than a poker game then what we have is a relatively simple but easily complicated poker game played by unbelievably complex entities.
This is why poker can be so frustrating for many people because of the fact that it can seem unbelievably complex. At its very core then we need to concentrate on three key areas to be a poker player.
These are our overall poker system, this is our style of play that we end up playing after we have studied all that we can about the game. What we end up with is our poker game and this poker game will either be good enough or not good enough to make us money……that is the bottom line. Most poker games will need to have certain environments for them to be able to make money. For example depending on your level of experience and ability then your own game may need to be played at a level that is no higher than NL25.
Even then if your own destructive personality traits are holding you back then you may struggle to make any kind of meaningful money. The next question is when you have found a way of playing poker to then estimate your edge. This is more difficult than what it sounds which is why I have designated two ways to go. The first is to use conventional theory and hope that your opponents or a number of your opponents do not know it. The problem with this way of playing poker is that you can find a way of making money fairly quickly but the profit potential will be limited.
Conventional poker theory isn’t called “conventional” for nothing and years ago then the data that you had may have been sufficient to make money on its own but not anymore. So I think that the biggest edges in poker these days are gleaned from understanding theory in an un-conventional way. While this may not ultimately work for many people, it at least allows you to do something different to what the masses are doing which I think is very important. I think that if you play like the masses then your results are going to be broadly similar.
I simply cannot stress this often enough. You are better off thinking about the game differently even if you end up going down a few blind alleys along the way. However if you are working very hard on your game and you still find that your results are not what they should be then there is every possibility that you are simply not cut out to succeed in the modern world of online poker against the new breed of shark. Learning theory simply isn’t enough unless you want to recycle money.
In the games that I play in, most players tend to have a good grasp of poker theory at levels as low as NL25. So this means that getting an edge in terms of knowing more theory is difficult. In full ring cash games then you need to devise a solid strategy based on what your opponents are broadly doing. If you can learn to think strategically in poker rather than merely on a hand to hand basis then you may just find that you can make considerable money from the game. Any player that can make $60/hour and find 40 hours per week to play online is an absolute monster in online poker.

are delusional and talk smack like they're the god of poker then they lose a pot and get all butt hurt, hammer fisting the table and criticizing other people's plays. Semi tilted after tonight's session playing significantly under my A-game and donking about 600$ to this idiot, and 400$ to other folks.
I hate people who can't take even the small losses at the table and cause an uncomfortable tension. Why does this fishy type of player have to be such pain in the asses at live games? It surprises how many of these people who probably have at least upper middle class income can act like such babies.
Even Though I know, I Can't!by oldmemory, August 24
I know I should stop playing after 12+ consecutive hour session. Yet I can't stop until I literally pass out.
I know I should fold in a lot of situations recently, but I couldn't resist to call trying to believe he got the lower end of his range.
I do believe I know how to beat nl25/nl50 yet my hands betray my thoughts. I've been playing underrolled as well. Maybe im a gambling addict.
Went bust yesterday, don't really care about the money, as im financialy and job stable... as soon as my self-imposed deposit restriction can be removed I can put money back in..
But until then, I have 4-5 days to chill out and think over my actions.
It's a shame I can't complete the summer challenges as I can't deposit - so if anyone is reading this miserable blog, and can transfer me 1 USD on stars 'oldmemor' I can transfer on paypal with 50% interest maybe 1.5$USD + 20% of any Shootout Winnings as I can't deposit now.. just so I can play a zoom hand and get in today's summer stars challenge.
Renterd a place for AUD $410 a week at st peters - pretty much 5 min walk from train station, 20 min from my work. So its good.
Living by myself, my really good friend lives about 2 min walk from me so thats also good.
working on a new project - upgrading 3rd busyiest train station in sydney - wynyard.
So pretty large project. Doping really well at work and got a good rep at the moment.
Going for promotions soon hiopefully.
havnt played poker for ages, still have like 300 bucks on PS probgonna install it up when i feel bored.
the game I studied most, and didnt finishedby Forrest Gump, August 20
This is Triple draw 2014 graph. I lost last year hands but I lost 2K trying to learn the game from 0. Key things about the graph:
- first 17K hands are 1/2 - 5/10
- then its 2/4 - 30/60 and started table selecting better
- average is 1BB/100
What I learnt from this game:
-Best EV drawing decisions
-Think about ranges
-When to 3b with 2 card draw pre
-Avoid dangerous instaplays
-Card removal and blockers dont change the game a lot (unless you saw the 4 cards of that rank)
What I need to review:
-The never ending search for the best way to split ranges
-How people is biased with the first hands you play against them
-Automatize my HU lines
Thanks for your time, I just needed to write something somewhere and kill time
i just don't get it
there i am on the turn
and im barreling out like usual
but then he decides to call
and im like, great, this didn't work out, AGAIN
i show my hand, and he his kings
So I've gone back to training again after a long break and I've been playing lots of live poker over the last two years as well. I seem to have a problem thought with playing poker after training. It's like my adrenaline is way up and I don't think as clearly, play often on instinct, and am much more reckless with my play.
I know there are several guys on here who also do both, was wonder if anyone had the same issues and hoping maybe they had come up with some solutions. Other than the standard get a nice post work out meal in and kick back for an hour or two before playing. Even when I do both of these I still run into the same issues.
