Just a quick comment on the hand i posted last time. I talked it over with some very good players and the one who's opinion i consider highest (i wont say who cause he likes anonymity) told me he shoves here cause of stacksizes and folding with that little less on a paired board seems really hard. But if we were a bit deeper he thinks flat calling he could be a very very smart play. I agree with him (assuming we werent too too deep, in which case it would become very hard to get any value out of sets on a flush board).
Ok, so my first full month at 25/50 is over (I got back from pca on the 11th and started playing on the 13th). here are my stats for the month for PLO and NL respectively:
Things went pretty well for my first month at higher stakes, I dont think I ran particularly well or bad, so I hope this is sustainable. Ran pretty bad in omaha at the end there but I still feel I have a pretty significant edge in the games on stars.
ok, so i basically made 150k the past month. Now for the ballerism:
So I called my credit card company earlier because the limit on my card was $1900 a month and I needed it raised a bit for hotels and flying to tournaments and stuff. I'm on the phone with some lady when the following mini-convo comes up:
After that, she asked me if I wanted my credit card limits raised up to 35k, the highest I offer. My mom (also on the phone, it was a 3way call) yelled at me for telling her I made that much and I decided to just raise them up to 6k, enough for hotels/flights/creditcard roulette degeneracy at restaurants.
Oh yeah, one little tiny rant. Pokerstars wont sponsor me for the monte carlo tournament, WTF.
| | Hello Ryan,
My name is xxxxxxx, I work in marketing at PokerStars. I recently
received an email from Tamar regarding a sponsorship for you to our Monte Carlo event. Unfortunately we are choosing not to sponsor any additional players to Monte Carlo at this time. This decision has been made in part because of the ever-changing state of online gaming in the U.S right now. We are scaling back much of our U.S marketing and sponsoring players located in the U.S falls under this part of the budget.
Please feel free to reply with any questions, and I'll be sure to be in
touch if our U.S marketing strategy changes in the near future.
Best regards, and congratulations on your PCA win!
Talk soon,
xxxxxxx

That sort of sucks considering last year's champion is on team stars. I hope the US online stuff clears up. I really wanted to be a part of team stars and bring a young face to some of the tournaments. Oh well, its just donkaments.
My new goal for the year is to have my cash game winnings for the year surpass my PCA win total. I think it's attainable, ill be playing a lot of poker this year, and I basically have to avg 130k a month or so, which is hard but doable if i put him like 40k hands a month.
Ok, thats a fairly long blog entry.

Wow, Congratulations on a huge month, and goodluck in the future. Though, by the sounds of things you won't need it  |

All those red lines in your PT stats clearly show that your are a big loser, sir. Quit poker NOW!
And I have inside Pokerstars sources confirm me that their refusal to sponsor you comes from that clever little Cardplayer interview, which content was related to farting in general and how to use it at a poker table in particular. They feel this is not something that can positively affect the state of online gaming in the U.S right now. But of course they'll be sure to be in touch if their U.S marketing strategy changes in the near future.

Doesn't the fact that they are questioning the stability of online poker raise anyone eyebrows?

| | (Interesting anecdote about my Credit Card situation: I had a bad credit history and had been refused Credit Cards a couple of times in the past. Around Feburary 2005 with my new improved financial situation I again applied for two more credit cards. For fun I decided to apply for a Gold Visa and a Platinum Visa expecting to get refused. On the application forms for both of them I stated as my profession : Professional Poker Player and for expected yearly Salary I just made up a figure of $300,000. I sent the two applications off expecting to get refused. Two weeks later a brand new Gold Visa card with a $20,000 Credit line and a Platinum Visa card with a $30,000 Credit line arrived in the mail. Money talks =) |
Reminds of TillerMaN's Creditcard situation  |

20k only lol wtf you suck at life. |

| Raising preflop more than 10% is somewhat wild. 5% is average. Less than 3% is passive. | |
