I've noticed I've always written kinda, smallish goals, and I don't feel excited, and like "wow, can I really make this". And I go bored and just don't care "goals wern't great anyway" I'm kinda telling myself without really telling myself.
So for december I'm gonna turn it up a notch, even though I didn't make my November goals!!
!!!
- 80 hours or more of playtime at the tables.
- 12 poker vods
- 2 poker books
- train atleast 12 sessions at the gym
- Try keep propper day rythem, always wake up between 06:00 - 12:00 and go to bed before stupid o clock. liiike, try to go bed 22:30, sleep 23:00 / 23:30, wake up 08:00
- Reach C+ with all 3 races in Starcraft (This one isn't that important, training and poker is important).
Weird, I notice I dodge things when I don't do well at them, or don't meet an expectation I set for myself. Annoying, keep thinking "wish I never stopped the blog" and I don't go at it again, because "it's no fun when I have a long stretch I stopped".
I'll try harder not to stop this time around, roarr.
I remember setting some goals in a thread for November, tried finding the thread again now, but I can't seem to find it. But I vaguely remember the goals (that can't be good, means I lost focus of my goals weeks ago)
Think they were pretty "passive" and not that insane, slow start to poker again? Or something like that. Think they were something like this:
- 40 hours of poker at the table
- 6 poker training vods
- read 3-4 books
- train 4 times a week
Hrmpfh, checked my tracker now, I played 37 hours, close but not good enough. Hate playing these microstakes (I know bad excuse). But if I was better I'd be higher, so nothing to blame but myself <3
Ended up 24$ total in 6max and 54$ up in Heads up. Nothing to brag about, but at least I'm in the plus, I think I'll get 260$ or so back in rakeback, so that's around 330$ for the month. Averaging of 8$ an hour, hrmpfh.
On the bright side, I watched maybe 11 poker vods, so that's good atleast, now on part 7 of some HU series on deuces with prinnyraiding in it. Hope I remember all the stuff I see there.
On the book parts, I read atleast one full, and several small thingys, not sure if the small ones count. So not a total success there, and I'm in the middle of another book, so that's semi okay xD
I trained 4 times a week first 2,5 weeks, got huge stomach problems again, due to my sugar thingy, and not trained in 8 days, I'm gonna go train today again though.
So overall, on a scale from 1-10 in completing goals, I'd have to give myself a 5 or something!!
Will be starting this prop bet tomororw morning between 10-12AM eastern and hope to play 50k+ hands in a 24 hour period and show a profit. I am putting up about 13k of my own money in hopes of winning 30k! I will be playing all hands at NL25 on PokerStars and am very confident in my chances here. I feel like I have a good game plan going into all of this and should be able to be victorious. I will post daily updates on my blog and in 2+2 thread tomorrow and hopefully set a new world record for most hands come Tuesday Morning.
Thank you for the support from the LP community! Alot of nice people out there!
Hello LP world, I am thinking of doing this prop bet of playing 50k hands in 1 day with a....wait for it.... POSITIVE WINRATE. As most know my longgg sessions are usually because i am stuck 10-20+ BI but I like a challenge and want to give this a shot. Would be doing it at nl25 where my results so far are subpar. Want to bet with 2.5-1 odds which are really good considering I think it should be more like 4-1 but I Want action! I also will be webcamming the whole thing in my attempt to SET OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD for it, or at least according to pokerstars
The funny thing is, in july I played a session of 41000 hands (down 22BI) which is more then this "record" setter played of 40107 hands. Seems like a pretty bullshit record
Let me know in comments or PM if anyone is interested in betting against, thanks!
Finally got the situation worked out with this username thanks to baal/liquid meat. Much appreciation guys. The emails they were sending me were going into my spam folder for some reason.
My 6 day prop bet is in full swing right now, it is me vs another user on 2p2 who can play the most hands. I think after 3 days he is around 76k hands but I may be off by a little bit. I haven't really put that much effort into it to be honest, went on a date with my beautiful asian girl/friend but not actually girlfriend and then I took a bunch of time off yesterday on thanksgiving when she brought me a tray of food over for me to eat. Think I may have found a pretty good girl actually. The plan was to wake up today early and grind for 12-14 hours but I obviously slept a bunch so didn't get to play that much. I actually almost said fuck it after i went on super tilt playing 24 nl100 6max fast tables because i was losing money and the overall point of this prop bet was to get motivation to grind and actually MAKE money playing/also reach 600k vpp milestone/fpps. I took a short break after that session, ate some food and then decided to buckle up and play 1/2 and not do all fast or 24 tables. Was able to make back what I had lost + some and then went back to NL25 to grind some hands out there/try to master the level. I wanted to see what potential winrate could be achieved at nl25 6max but I dont think the best way to figure it out is playing all fast tables and not thinking about any decisions at all like I have been doing there so far. Was stuck like 8 BI there today and then sat up in my chair and focused and made it all back and was up 8 BI until I zoned out again.
For the total hands I am at 71k hands in 3 days! Not bad but could be doing better imo.
Time to get some sleep and then play a bunch tomorrow. The girl wants to hang out tomorrow/do something fun but i dont know if I will be able to do that and still win this prop bet. Might need to sacrifice some life ev one time lol!
So yeah, I lost my iphone in vegas this summer and long story short, some cab driver found it, contacted me in sweden and asked me to get a fedex account so they could ship it back. Me being a lazy bastard and fedex being so fucking anoying I couldnt get a fedex account set up and eventually I just gave up. I realized that it would be such a waste to buy a new iphone when I knew where my old one was so today i finally called the cab company again and they said they had given up on me and shipped it to verizon.
Anyone knows how that works? Is there any way of getting the phone back from verizon realtively easily or should i just give up?
So I realized that updating my blog on a weekly basis is just too much work. I really wanted to get some pics of the beach house I live in now (moved in at the end of August) but I lost my camera which sucks. Anyways, Evan and I moved up stakes in life and now we live in the WindanSea area in La Jolla with TeeJayOrTJ. Other than that life has been chill past few months. There are a ton of online poker players (Like 20-25 players that I know of) living here in San Diego and a bunch of us have taken up golf, so recently I've been golfing atleast 1-2 times a week which is a blast except for the fact that I'm averaging losing ~$500 in prop bets everytime I go out with the boys. I'm a sick betting fish apparently, but atleast my golf game is improving. First round of golf I shot a 180 (I'm sure most people would just give up counting strokes, but I wanted to see how bad I really was) but now I'm averaging around 125 strokes from the middle tees which is nice. I've even shot my first legit birdie already!
Been playing mostly live the past 2 months and been crushing until the last week of October where I pretty much ran like dog shit and probably didn't play my best while running that bad. I had a set goal on what I thought I could maintain monthly at Palomar (the cardroom I mostly play at in San Diego) and I was on track until my very tragic last week of October. Sucks to run bad on one of the very few times the No Limit game runs with $10/$20/$40 blinds. Lucky for me, my next door neighbor is | Scubba | the cap NL wizard, and watching him play & crush Ivey at $500/$1000 cap NL got me motivated to play online once again. Actually ended up learning a lot about playing vs short stacks from watching one of his sessions and listening to how he thinks about the game. So far thou, my own online en devours have been slow, as I feel like playing live vs mostly fish has set me back on the learning curve. Been watching a bunch of videos and studying up so hopefully I can return strong! Other than that, I got myself into a relationship and it's cool caz my girlfriend is basically awesome in everyway. For some reason, my mind set is on such an even keel no matter how bad or good I run and I feel it's mainly caz of her.

And I need to change my email this account is registered to, who the heck do I have to email/ get in touch with to be able to change my password because when you sign up they just randomly make you something and if your email gets deleted, how the H do you change it???
A fun graph of how I suck
cant think about poker ne more, need to workout
And to the gay people that commented on my halloween costume lol, I am not a fucking bodybuilding workout machine pro. I workout a few times a week to stay in shape. Sorry my so and so doesnt line up right with whatever else. The women still enjoy it from reading the comments I have like the worst physique of anyone in the poker world though apparently
played a 16 table FR session for about 1 hour ago 10 minutes after i end the session the bad beat jackpot of 602 000€ went to a french fish on one of the tables that i played on during that session
as fast as i saw that the BBJ was won i made the idiotic desicion to check in HEM if i played on that table during the session.
OBV i did.. -ev to check it, but couldnt help it
massive tilt.. MASSIVE, woulda got around 70 000€ just by sitting at the table
Am finally getting settled in out here in San Diego. Me and my friend Kris moved out here about a week ago and finally got my computer desk/bed/chairs in my pod today and unpacked most of that stuff. Our place we are renting out here is pretty sick, the complex has pool/jacuzzi/workout room/tanning place/bunch of other random stuff and a bunch of good looking women which can't ever be a bad thing.
Some pics
Theres a few other poker players that I have been hanging out with here that either live her/renting including fantasticcow, petteytheft, bw07507, zachvac, abstractpb.
Me, my roomate, cow and bw went out a few nights down in PB and for Halloween in downtown and it was pretty amazing. I dressed up in my chippendale costume and it was def a super ++++ev costume to have it. The women loved it!
On the poker front, I have not really been focused on poker at all lately. Had a few bad days that cost me alot of money but meh, will have to grind it back eventually. Right now just trying to enjoy all there is to offer out here and hopefully find myself a wife in the process and see all the fun places in california. Time for bed, thanks for reading
september was fantastic for me, my first robusto month to date. ending almost 8000€+
with my head maybe a little to high october started horrible.. started off with a 50 buy in downswing, had to step back to 50nl and have recovered really well these last 2 weeks of grinding at first 50nl and the last 20k hands 100nl again with great success.
€ wise im still down about 1000€ this month, but with the 1800€ rakeback coming in now after the weekend october will still end up a little in the green.
ill take the day off tomorrow since its halloween and shit.
i hope november will be a good one, since ill be able to start off with a good roll for 100nl once again. im planning on playing 100k hands next month with alittle other goals like exercise/eat more healthy. with a more "helathy" time schedual, getting out of bed in the morning and stuff. doing most of the grind like a 9-5 jobish style.
but have been playing alot of FR this month, and it has been like free monies. every1 at 50 and 100nl really sux. the regs are horrible and dont know how to even valuebet properly vs 80VPIP fish, they play every hand with potcontrol like it was vs a nitty reg giving them action. they sux at adjusting is what ive noticed so far is what im trying to say
anyways i filtered my hands, some scary shit (from last 3 months)
Since i dont get much time to fuck around and photoshop LP stuff these days, I thought id share what i spend most of my time doing at work - which is doodling.
Its something ive always done ever since school and any piece of paper im ever given inevitably ends up with doodles around the border.
I have years and years of work which has slipped into the abyss by being thrown out or drawn over, or stolen by someone.
But since i now have a camera phone, I thought i might start documenting my pictures for future reference.
So here are some of the highlights from my recent scribbling sprees. As you can see the medium of choice is biro. I perfer black but the office insists on only buying blue which is kinda tilting coz everything looking cooler with black ink.
Call Center Eddie - Bored at Work.
Cross
Piranha
A dragons claw or something... I dunno
Friendly Clown
Dont kill whales
Caveman and Dinosaur
Pentagram type thing
Flower design - I had been watching a lot of Miami/LA Ink at this point
A gay-ass robot rocket or something
Rough sketch of the gates of hell.
Spectre or something, not sure.
Was gonna be a big demon squid but i didnt have room.

Some girl drew the girl side of the picture and asked me to add on to it, and i got carried away...

for november im planning on doing a hand/training/eat healthy challange thingy.. (only for myself)
Why am i doing this?
~ LAS VEGAS ~ LAS VEGAS ~ LAS VEGAS ~
i wanna go to vegas, i wanna have a roll for vegas. good friend of mine who knows our own LPer Nolan is planning on going to vegas after newyears. getting a place together there and i really wanna go with em. havent met nolan but he seems like an awzum layed back kinda guy, a guy of my taste.
anyways i was asked to come along but i dont have the roll for it yet. and i wanna do this the right way. just getting a good mindset/lifestyle to try and make this goal happend.
$$ wise i hope to make atleast 10 000 € these 2 months (wich i almost should make only from rakeback if i play 200k hands +++) and ill have enough monies in total to go to vegas
i think its very possible as long as im not losing while playing. i just need to put in the hours.
The plan at first was to play 5000 hands / day for a total of 150k hands, but i think thats pushing it since im not gonna be able to play every day prolly. with girl and shit like that.
Im gonna try to keep 3333 hands/day over the whole month, wich is gonna be ~100 000 hands in november.
Im gonna try to move my ass for atleast 45 minutes 50% of the days, so 15 times.
Im gonna try to eat little better since ive noticed i feel alot better if i eat at "normal" times and just trying to keep a ruitine. obv im no master chef but ill try to keep it kinda healthy, with mostly meat and vegetables + couple fruites every day.
Im gonna go up at a decent hour. And also try to not drink to many times, like 2-3 times tops for whole month.
Just a normal week should be (the first day of the week, say monday)
9AM go up, go for a run (run/walk if laazy) for about 45 minutes, pick up some grocherys from grochery store so i got food/fruit/veges for the week
10AMish, take shower, change cloths, eat breakfast, drink coffee and shit, listen to some good music
then play about 2k hands (will take around 3-4 hours)
2PM eat some lunch, watch some series and stuff
Play another 2-3 hours
Try to eat something decent for dinner
Maybe put in a little extra session if i have stamina for it in the evening.
free to screw around with girl im seeing at the evenings, watch some movies and w/e.
shouldnt be so hard? should it?
starting off at 100nl right away i think, hopefully dont need to move down or anything anoying like that. hopefully get up to 200nl in december sometime
(ill do the same thing for december, if i need to, ill put in a little extra hands/day)
(i live atm with 3 friends so from a social aspect u dont need to worry that ill become some kind of psycho only playing and eating apples all day long)
