My local live game which is 10 min away has had a new structure for the past few months, small blind = 2, big blind = 3 , 5 to go, must bet in increments of 5 unless all in, max buy in = the deepest stack at the table.
current stats;
feb +1950
march + 5650
april + 2650
I just had a $2100 losing day playing pretty spewy and semi tilted, I need to invest in an Ipad to keep me from getting bored because I'm pretty sure I'm raising too loose from early positions. My best day so far this year at this game is probably around +$1800. I definitely have to keep improving my game even though I pretty much have an edge over everyone that goes there, and I'm not even super good.
quick question, has anyone ever taken notes on people during live sessions? I was thinking about starting to do that if I buy an Ipad or something.
Sure got burned for the second time utilizing one of these online video streaming rental services (google play, vudu). Rented the hobbit last night, got bored watching it, came back to finish it tonight, EXPIRED. You know what? Fuck you. Fuck you hard bitch. I tried to play fair. I tried to give you a reasonable chance not to horse fuck me. I gave you my money. I played by the rules, and this is what I got. An unreasonable time frame. Well good job MPAA, you just drove another user to 100% dedicated piracy. You had your shot, you had one of those elusive users who knows all too well how to steal your shit, but decided that because he can afford to pay that he should pay, and this is how you return the favor. You put me in a situation where undoubtedly the goal was to see if I would pay twice. I mean afterall who can only watch half a movie right? What other possible motive would there be other than to stack the deck so that the movie expires during the next logical viewing period (the same time the next day). Why wouldn't you give someone 48 hours? What do you have to lose? What advantage does this give me?
Anyway downloading HD version right now along with half a dozen other movies that were in my wish list to pay for.

Why do I overwhelmingly lose when I'm overwhelmingly ahead? People on zone are the dumbest mother fuckers in the entire online poker world possible, and they are the most lucky pieces of shits ever. They constantly shove preflop with 72o, a3o, 96o; as long as you have a decent hand, you're always ahead. AA and KK NEVER get raised unless it's someone who actually understands that you should raise those hands, which are the people you want to avoid. It's the easiest things to spot the complete mass of menstrual clots, but god damn it sure is fucking impossible getting paid off when you're ahead.
AND WHEN THE FUCK SHOULD I SEE FLUSH DRAWS? ITS BEEN THREE FUCKING DAYS AND IVE BEEN TWO TABLING AT LEAST FIVE HOURS A DAY!
Hi ya'll,
I am doing a giveaway of horror game Daylight
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_(video_game)) (watch pewdiepie play it in early release )
My plan is to make a promo video for the giveaway and just enter in anyone who replies to the video for a random raffle. I'll ask a simple question so commentators and I can get around the one anti-raffle law I know of that says "entrants must pass a skill test" or whatever
This video is a channel update for my youtubes and the UNOFFICIAL daylight giveaway announcement http://youtu.be/Go9f8T9jiyk
Just looking to let you guys in on the gig a bit early since you're in my "in crowd"
So I'm planning on travelling to Eastern Europe this summer and am going to be looking for a place to live permanently. A friend has invited me to Bucharest this summer to check it out and show me around, so while I'm there I'd like to also stop by and check out some other places.
I'm looking for any kind of information or experiences you guys might have had in these places and recommendations regarding which cities you think are best. A very important requirement is that the general population be able to speak a decent amount of English. I'd like to travel to 4 or 5 different cities and then make a decision from there. I'm not interested in anywhere outside of Eastern Europe.
EDIT--If there's anyone in that part of the world that would be interested in taking an afternoon to show me around the city I'd be very grateful. I could in return share some poker knowledge, or take an hour to review a video of your play.
The following hand accurately reflects almost every hand my opponent played for approximately 3 hours at this table. Thats right, I am going to show you just one hand, because this one hand is all you need to know how this player plays, because this is all he did all night long. This isnt a whine blog, i finished this session +300BB's. I'm just trying to figure out what the best approach is to someone like this with hands other than the nuts. I can only presume his stats would have been around 80/50/30. I'm getting a hud after this session since it would have really come in handy last night.

I shoved because he had paid off earlier with top pair bottom kicker so I figured surely he has something here. But in general his entire playstyle was similar to the above. Just lots of nonsensical raises from out of position, floating every flop etc. I dont know if he was a maniac or just trying to pick off every single pot when he perceived weakness. Regardless, I was dealt all sorts of hands like 44, 76s, ATs, KJo, that I didnt know how to play vs him. Should I bet 3betting the ever loving shit against him? 4bet too? Or just call?
i think i'm good enough at dota 2 to play at a high level. please send me a direct invite to Liquid Dota. me and DeMoN will wait for our invites patiently. thank you
I've just been grinding tons of CG's @Bovada and livin life, relaxing w/ family and friends @ home atm. Just load 4 and crush all day, its kinda fun, feel so much happier everyday, greeds not runnin this train anymore, just desire to win.
I have quit tournaments until at least June, then maybe re-evaluate *lost passion for them and pretty much just hate them now*
(although i do use points random MTT's, makes for good rakeback),
I'm feeling healthier than I have in a very long time, thank god, I wasn't taking care of myself for a while there...
Was nice to enjoy the sun in like our first nice spring day today in PA. Been back from Canada for like a month, not sure if I'm going to be going to LV or NJ but most likely LV, unless NJ gets the international bill going asap.
In the General discussion forum I saw a lot of outrage at what news we have been given about the state of online poker in the US etc, I wrote this there, but figured blogging would just be better since its been a while.
The US Lottery system that is making $800 billion a year (i could be way off) has joined our coalition. This is HUGE. They want to keep this wagering going 110%, they have our backs, and they make Sheldons bankroll look like peanuts. This was the best thing to happen to USA poker last week, along with New Jersey pushing through a bill for International Poker, to play with the rest of the world, the first in the states to do it, and it passed through the first senate vote.
Online Gaming isn't going anywhere, legal or offshore, its going to be played.
California is also doing everything possible to get the Native tribes to agree to ALLOW PokerstarS in California, because "that is what the players want" - we'd go there NP.
was all over pokernews.com last week.
things are battling back and forth, its like a soap opera, just keeps going on.
a huge plus this week is that New Jersey has pushed through a bill for INTERNATIONAL gaming for a larger playerbase which will move most of us from the USA to Jersey overnight.
This is what you should be looking forward to.
Also, Sheldon Addelson *sp? has kind of made an ass out of himself in the past week or two, he has hurt his case some. I do believe he will have some sort of short term impact here, but nothing sustainable.
The #'s have been coming in (hands/profits for sites) and its in the millions, and continuously growing and the casino's have tied in tens to hundreds of millions of dollars for upstart costs, this is locked in for at least 10 years (there is a 10 year clause somewhere in the Bills) without a complete VETO from the house, things will continue to progress.
The Wire act will stay as is, its been through the courts.
Even if it gets changed back, nothing changes here, and we have plenty of good sites + casino's to play in, with random grind trips out of country, its a blessing, if you view it that way.
but yeah, take it from someone with OCd who reads every article for the last 2 years 11 months and 2 weeks. Things are only going forward, one man with billions has a problem with it, the online gambling lottery of the USA has a problem with Sheldon, they side with us 100%, because if the wire act is repealed, then ppl can't buy tickets online, which would crush there industry etc.
when i go play at the usual game, i find that im usually never respected, even though im quite a nit. ill show down with top 10 hands or so, and i ALWAYS manage to get some fucko to call me down on a 15 bb preflop pot with 84o expecting to get lucky. then, of course, they have to get lucky. this makes me tighten up even more, because i feel like an open book since they will NEVER lay anything down to me unless i have the nuts which they'll fold the very first time i bet out.
i just dont understand how to play when no one will ever fold to me, i will never EVER win a hand, and there is always at least one hand better than mine. i expect to lose with AA and usually right at this point in time. i dont feel i can ever bluff, cause im fucking open book, and everyone already expects to get lucky against me, that other people start picking up on my bad luck and start playing against me with literally any two.
how can i earn respect when the cards dont respect me? i mean, shit, the ENTIRE game felt bad for me tonight and kept giving me rebates.
am i being results oriented or am i just really fucking good at knowing when im beat?
