So as some of u might have noticed I havenīt been around for a week or two. I took the last days off poker, spend some time with my family, went to the bar every night with my boys, had a great christmas and a lot of fun beside all that.

I didnīt play a single hand to clear my mind and to start out fresh and focused in 08. I reread ToP and Professional NLHE and grabbed NLHE T&P to finish this one too. I bought a datamining/table selection tool for iPoker and started a new DB in PT, mainly b/c I screwed up my old DB when I installed PostgreSQL. It sucks losing 75k hands, but I look at Jan 1st 2008 as a total relaunch, so this could probably be a good thing.

My goal for 2008 is to make it to 2/4 and 3/6 NLHE. As I wrote in my last OP-thread, Iīwill finish university in the beginning of 09, getting my diploma in business administration and engineering. I have to be rolled for 4/4 NL live at least at the end of the year to keep poker as an attractive hobby.

I cashed out to buy christmas presents for my family and will be starting out with a BR of $5k. Iīm playing on iPoker with approx. 35% RB plus reload bonusses and reactivated my party account without Rakeback. I havenīt played enough at party yet, but their PartyPoints to cash program and reload bonusses should be giving me something equalling 8-14% RB. If anyone here is playing on Party and knows exactly what rate of RB I can expect, please let me know.


I will be moving up and down in limits with the following BR management plan:

- $5k regular 0.5/1 both FR and 6max, taking a shot at 1/2 FR when tables are good

- $6.5k regular 1/2 FR and 0.5/1 6max, taking a shot at 1/2 6max when tables are good

- $10k regular 1/2 both FR and 6max, taking a shot at 2/4 FR when tables are good

- $16k regular 1/2 6max and 2/4 FR, taking a shot at 2/4 6max when tables are good


Iīm not limiting myself to playing only FR or 6max, mmainly because traffic at FR tables is pretty low at midstakes on working days.


I havenīt had the time yet to put all of my adjustements in words. What I can say so far is:

- I will be tightening up in EP and therefore look for more opportunities to 3bet in LP

- I will be playing less tables

- When Iīm asking myself, if I should play or not I will not play. I wonīt play tired or tilted or when in a hurry. I will only play when tables are good and I am able to play my A-game. If one of these conditions doesnt apply I will go out running, go to the gym or have sex. I expect this adjustement to have the biggest impact on my game. I know I have a tilt problem, and nothing tilts me more than playing like a idiot.

- I will post a sessions biggest winners/losers no matter what. I will go through PT after a session and look at my hands and stats and my opponents. I will make helpful player notes.

OP starts on Jan 1st 2008. [/list]

played a tiny session FR today for a nice $80 profit. Nothing big happened, cards made it a small pot session. Tangled with shorties a lot, stacked some of them, doubled others up....geez I wish there was more traffic on full stack only tables. I wont play a lot the next days, Iīm ill and until now it has been getting worse and worse, today I wasnīt able to stay focused for more than 1 1/2 hrs and I have a gigantic headache.

Todays hands are quite unspectacular

aīight, another day in shortieland. Played 700 hands this afternoon. Iīm ill and canīt go to class, neither can I do sports or date girls or do anything outside my appartement, so I guess Iīll be grinding. Again, nothing spectacular happened and I didnīt think/study poker much at all. Here are recent sessions hands:

Pulling off spewy moves is still probably one of my biggest leaks. I made some moves today I like to hear others opinions to. If these hands might look trivial to you, let me know. I just seem to judge my moves extremely result oriented, like when it works I pwn, when it doesnt the others are donkeys or something.

Yo XTR, you are based in Germany, right?

Is it true they banned poker there too? Or have I (hopefully) been misinformed?

@Jack: Ya, Iīm in Germany. Gambling itself is illegal here, aside from state controlled casinos. Onlinepoker isnīt banned, but isnt allowed either, its sort of tolerated. There are rumours gov wants to ban online gambling, but its practically impossible to lock the poker sites.

Session 2 today - yay yay, feels good to run hot after losing/breaking even for 35k hands.

#4 Villian is a known 10/6 16-tabler, non-thinking and static. His flop range is 66-88, TT, JJ, maybe QQ. Heīs dumb enough to bet JJ/QQ on the river, tho Iīd have a hard time calling

#5 Villian is an unknown TAG. Heīs the villian in hand #2, I had him on 4 tables and he didnt get out of line once. Checking the flop was probably bad. On river I was planning to call any reasonable bet, but he insta pushed what I usually read as JJ trying to make up missed value. Iīm getting 2.1:1 and am splitting at best me thinks

We have the following options:
a- 4bet shove flop
b- call/lead turn+river 2/3ish
c- call and go for a crai on turn

Iīd probably go for option a, but Iīve found it hard to calculate each options eV with villians draws/our redraw.

Session 2 - full ring

Tables were very soft tonight, I havenīt been in too many sick spots and didnīt make huge mistakes. Inspired by wufwugy Iīm dumping 22-55 UTG and UTG+1 for a sample of 20k hands. Its not a question, that playing these in EP is marginal at best, but playing them profitable (if possible) requires great hand reading skills and excellent postflop skills. Neither am I a good hand reader nor do I play optimal postflop, so I guess itīs a good thing to dump these and maybe start playing them later, when my hand reading improved and the opposition becomes a bit more predictable. Iīm curious if we could get a large enough sample together to see, if it could ever be profitable to play small ppīs in EP. So far I can say, that I donīt feel like Iīm missing a lot, but Iīm avoiding many situations where I had the chance to make a mistake/spew chips.

My plan to tighten up in EP and therefore look for more opportunities to 3bet IP/from the blinds worked well. Iīve discovered the great secret of poker, that I shouldnīt adjust actions but ranges, meaning that I ainīt 3betting anymore "b/c heīs raising wide otb" but widen my range and stick to it. Pretty trivial, but it took me years to completely understand this.

+ $45
BR $5510

Iīve already posted a hand in the full ring forum, here are more from tonights hands:

#1 Biggest pot won: Button is 18/9 and thinking. We have a long history and trying to play each other as often as possible. He views me probably as thinking and slightly spewy TAG, his flop raise could be anything from mid ppīs, fdīs, sets or queens.

#2 Biggest pot lost:

Thats he hand I posted in the full ring forum. BB is a station and called down with 2nd pr before. Heīs passive and could show up with a random 9 as well as JT/QJ/AJ, why I decided to value the river. In retrospective I may have folded to the river c/r, but it didnt make any sense to me and getting like 4:1 I was commited anyway, right?

Just a general question. Why do you raise so little LP after limpers? Is it to keep the SPR low?
On hand #3 can you put villain hand only on 65/55 or 66? Can't you put AQo?
What was his aggression level on turn/flop?

These small raises with big hands are just to mix it up. I usually raise to 4BB+1BB for each limper with a wide range and make these mini raises only with AXs-type hands which dont mind many callers.

Hand #3 is very read dependant. Opponent is 16-tabling and running 10.5/6 for a long time, weīre sharing the tables for nearly 4 months. Heīs one of iPokers Rakeback proīs who play horrible poker and grind out 2BB/100 with RB and FPP races. Heīs non-thinking and static and heīs playing this exclusively with 66/55, AQ would have been a raise preflop, he only limp/calls 44-JJ UTG

aīight, back from the live game. Played a 15euro 24 man tourney, busted out 11th. I had a solid chip lead, but then I had to give up on a couple of blind steals and were down to 13k. At blinds 1k/2k I called a 4k shove in the BB w/ AK and his JJ held up, two orbits later Iīm down to 6k in the BB and button moves in. I call w/ 33, his TT takes it home. gg


On this afternoons session:

I dropped $160 of which one $100 stack was unecessary. See here:

I 3bet CO 4 or 5 times before. He insta check-minraised and I decide to spew off my stack. I suck, nh CO

Session #2:

Wow. Night session was sick, tables were crazy and I swung like 5 BI or so but fortunately managed to finish $140 in the green

BR $5510

Iīve been nitty as hell 11/9/5, but table conditions rewarded my play. No need to get fancy when 83s and other crap shows up in 3bet pots (no joke, prove follows). I dont know who quoted "Its okay to play ur cards face up, when the opposition is blind", tonight was the best example.

I planned to talk about squeezing, which is totally new to me and I feel like Iīm the only on at iPokerīs 100NL full ring tables whoīs heard of it, but most attempts to squeeze were actually value raises. Iīll get back to that, when tables are filled with ppl who can lay down A3s and shit.

Lets start with my biggest winners:

#1 Both villians are idiots, Iīm flipping against a range of TPīs/JJ, straight and flushdraws and made straights. Pay attention to UTG

While Iīm scanning the tables for todays 6max session Iīm gonna write about squeeze plays on full ring tables. For most ppl here probably a trivial topic, for me itīs quite new. Weīve all read the chapter in HOH1 where Dan squezes with T4 or something, but he talks about tourneyīs and doesnīt go too far into detail. Beside that, itīs a topic where I really think about it myself and becoming a thinking player is my ultimate goal.

I havenīt searched the forums nor the web for articles about it, so the following content is potentially worthless.

Weīre assuming a 100NL full ring table, active players w/ 100BB stacks.

Thereīs a raise from MP1, std TAG with PFR >8, to 4BB and one or two caller in HJ/CO/BTN with VPIP>18.

Weīre OTB/SB/BB. Iīm treating those 3 position the same way for a simple reason: If we 3bet OTB opponent will assign a wider range to us, but canīt open up too much, b/c he will be oop. If we 3bet from the blinds, villian may open up a bit, b/c he will have postion on us, but cant open up too much, b/c 3bet ranges from the blinds are usually pretty tight.


MP1īs opening range is something like 66+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs for a total of 94 combinations

HJ/CO/BTNīs calling range is 22-TT, 78s+, JTo-KQo, ATs-AJs, AQo for a total of 134 combinations, assuming heīd 3bet anything above that range himself

Our standard 3betting range is, depending on style, JJ+, AK, AQs, which has 56% equity against MP1īs range.

Now, with two caller, thereīs 13.5BB in the pot and we raise to 16BB, laying 2.5:1 immediate and 8:1 implied odds, we probably fold out anything but JJ+, AK and AQs.
Note that these hands arenīt in our callers ranges, we assume our HJ/CO/BTN arenīt prone to slowplay premiums preflop.

This means, we fold out 50 combinations or 53% of MP1īs hands for an immediate profit of 13.5BB. The remaining 47% villian calls/raises with a range against which our standard range has 50% equity.

For the sake of simplicity we ignore the times where one caller overcalls our 3bet and changes our equity drastically. (an overcaller with 55-77, JTs has 25% equity. I love pstove)


Letīs see how far we can expand our range to make our 3bet 0ev:

We assume MP1 4bets KK+,12 of the remaining 44 combinations or 12.7% of his total hands, leaving 34.3% where he calls w/ JJ-QQ, AK,AQs.

In case villian 4bets we obv shove KK+ for 0eV and fold anything else for a net loss of 16BB

If MP1 calls, we see a flop with a pot of (16+16+4+4+1.5)BB = 41.5BB against a range of JJ-QQ, AK, AQs


eV = 0.53*13.5BB - 0.127*16BB + 0.343*X*41.5 (!)= 0; where "X" is our equity if called

(I ignore bets on subsequent rounds, b/c itīs getting too complicated and my head is already asploding)

--> eV = .53*13.5BB - .127*16BB + .343*X*41.5BB (!)= 0

5.123 = 14.2345X

X = .36 or 36%


Means our 3betting range needs 36% equity if called to let us break even on this squeeze.


Now play around with Pstove:


39% equity

6,270,457,248 games 0.005 secs 1,254,091,449,600 games/sec

Board:

37% equity

9,195,072,480 games 0.001 secs 9,195,072,480,000 games/sec

Well, thatīs it so far. Iīm gonna ask around if one of our math guys can go through this and give me shit if my math wrong, if not, Iīll post this in the full ring forum and hopefully start a discussion on this topic.

Tables were soft, not too much trouble. Interesting hands were against a regular TAG, who decided to donkbet a ton in raised/3bet pots. I gave him credit for a smart set, a friend of mine told, that heīs doing that shit frequently. Gotta think, how I should be adjusting to these donkbets followed by 3bet calls on flop. See hands (Iīll post them in fr forum as well)

Well, no poker for me yesterday. I didnīt feel confident and tables werenīt inviting so I decided to ride BMX and watch some TV after that. TV brought "The Island" and man...I didnīt know Scarlett Johanson can be so hot Wink

Iīm going to the gym now and may have the time to put in a tiny session of 100NL 6max this afternoon. Iīm out this evening to rock a sick wallride I found last night and will hopefully come back without broken bones, so I can put in another session of full ring tonight.

much appreciated. 1) I was fighting back to a possible steal, 6) agree

Todays session....Good news first, Iīve made the sick wallride I found yesterday. Didnīt get enough speed to pull it really high, but it was fun Very Happy Very Happy









Poker

Played 100NL full ring and dropped $90. After being tight the days before I ran 18/16/7 and it was sooooo fun. , played an incredible bad guy HU and lost $360 for a net loss of $450. The I dude I played HU put me on wild monkey tilt I must admit.

Now comes the ugly things. Iīll never ever play a HU match while I have other tables running again. I have villian buddylisted and notes on him that he calls atc preflop no matter what and likes to bluff paired boards. gg him, should have left after I lost the first stack.

I don't play much FR, but here's my take on those:
Hand #1, Shit happened. Sucks to share all the J's and still flop 2pr. No shame there. You're ahead often enough and the flop is drawy. Top 2 is not a spew.
Hand #2, playing draws OOP sux. I would fold pre since you are mainly playing for your draws here to any reasonable caller. 2 things about draws OOP: 1)Hard to get paid after the draw completes. 2)Put in too many difficult spots w/ no free cards available.
Hand #3, I think the river is b/f unless you have a read that he'll play that passively & push with a worse 2pr.
Hand #4, Nice. I wish I made more strong plays like this. How often are you getting looked up by AQ here?
Hand #5, Standard.
Hand #6, Fold pre, or fold flop. He wants a raise w/ that tiny bet.
I'm not going to comment on HU play since it is so read dependent and dynamic. Although it seems you might have been over aggro and he trapped you a bit.

I'll start commenting more and maybe finally post my own blog that I have threatened to do for a year. Then you can stop by and comment on my play. Good luck XTR, Oh and nice wall ride.

Thx for the feedback SillyString! Your comments are always much appreciated!

As for #4, this isnīt standard for me without reads, but opponent was incredibly weak, which made me try to push him off his AQ/AJ. In fact he tanked, folded and typed "33 nh sucker" Very Happy

Todays session was horrible, -$320, which means in the red for this month so far.

BR $4960

I probably didnīt play my a game, I missed opportunities to steal and to value good. Letīs look at the hands

#1 Villian is unknown. He is unlikely to have hit this flop, but so are we and he wonīt fold his 77-TT, Jx. C/c turn is the better play.

Final Pot: $108.54



#2 Is more interesting. Villian is a 20/8/6.6 reg with whom I have some history (see the donkbet-thread in full ring forum or above). My Att.to steal was 34% so we can assume heīs defending somewhat light here 77+, AQo+, AJs+, KQ, QJs. His cbet is quite large and indicates he wants me to fold, weighing (sp?) his range towards 88,99,JJ,QQ,QJ. Now comes the part where I may be outthinking myself or overestimating my opponent, but my shoving range contains a lot more draws than locks and therefore push>>call

#3 Small sample, villian calls wide preflop and seems to an suboptimal player. He minraises flop with AJ,KJ,QJ,JT,JJ,77,66,76 against which I have 40% equity. Assuming he folds some weak Jīs this is marginal, but okay I guess.

#4 This guy is a total station 52/7/0.7, this hand occured within the first two orbits no assume no reads here. Cbetting flop is std, turn gives us 15 outs to the nuts so checking is out of the question. River is questionable, at first I thought Iīd fold out hearts, then I figured that I have some sd value against hearts, now Iīm editing this the 3rd time, since the T Heart makes a huge part of his range.

came home from class, after rankine and carnot cycles in powerplants itīs time to study some poker Wink

I played 1.2k hands of 100NL full ring last night for a net profit of $180 running 15/13/3.7

#1 SB is a taggish regular whoīs pretty good postflop for these tables. I suppose he respects me somewhat, it seems like heīs avoiding big confrontations against me without strong hands. I didnt 4bet to keep QQ/JJ/AK/AQ in the hand.

Raised big with ISFīs thoughts about range manipulation in mind, intending to make him fold diamonds and shove 99/66/33, especially since his minbet screams "fd"


Letīs go back to yesterdays session. I did okay and ran okay. Hit some big hands but lost millions of $20 flips against shorties

#4 Ugly things do happen all the time, but this time itīs my fault. Made the huge mistake to give him spades as the biggest part of his range, which was quite stupid even without seeing the result. too many Aces in an 42/6īs range to fuck this hand up by not raising turn.

Hand #1, played perfect, especially in position.

Hand #2, Played well with read.

Hand #3, Is this really a raise in UTG+1 in a 7 handed game? Small PF raise may be exploitable. Please take idiot's money after the turn. He may call more on river if really loose passive. y/n/m?

Hand #4, Turn bet is suspect if in position. Flop caller, and turn completed FD. I b/f this OOP, but check turn behind and call reasonable river IP. I would give up value from QJ+ to avoid paying off FD or trips.

Hand #5, I do the same vs. a loose player that I don't have much read on. The min bet reeks of a drawing hand. Again though is raising A9s in EP profitable in full ring? I would rather cut that holding and raise a wider range in LP if you need to keep your stats up.

I dont get it!! why would you want a FD to fold or any hand your beat and only let hands you lose to stay in. doenst make sense, your losing a ton of value this way and opp play better vs you.

Wink thx for the feedback. Took me a second to realize you were referring to my second last post Wink

to #3 the old "Iīm mixing it up"-story Wink Given his passiveness I figured a TP hand to be his most likely hand and therefore bet smallish.

to #4 checking turn gives up too much value, since he could have SDīs as well. I believe b/f river wouldnīt be a mistake

to #5 Raising A9s in EP is definetly not the most profitable play but it isnīt all that bad either on a table with one sucker and 8 nits who fold too much and 3bet QQ+, AK exclusively.

End session #1 : 925 hands 100NL 6max on Party.

+$300
BR $5470

Ran hot, hit well and made only medium mistakes/bad plays, no silly stack-off this time.

#1 42/3/0.6, I thought about checking behind river, then I saw the post-it note I put on my monitor saying "Get value, sucker!" and bet. Checking behind against this guy would be retarded.

Happy friday! finished session #2: 1k hands on iPoker 100NL full ring for a beautiful profit of §230, totalling +$530 for tonight. Poker is so EZ bitches Very Happy Very Happy

BR $5700

Before I go through hands some random thoughts.


DaGOATīs straightforward comments on that A9s hand helped me even more than he or I could expect at first. It made me realize, that I did the same mistake I already did before when it came to blind defense, squeezing, 3betting light and other semi-advanced concepts:

I try to apply a new concept and two things happen: I do something, just to do it. I do not adjust a range or choose the appropiate situation, but just adjust actions and disregard basic concepts I learned a year ago. Sometimes I feel like my mind is a rack with limited storage room and for every new concept I try to apply something in the back is sorted out. I put a "Get value, sucker!" post-it note on my monitor now.

Todayīs session werenīt much exciting besides recovering a good part of my BR. 6max session went like crazy, I had a table with av VPIP>40% and av PFR <8. So sick, but high variance and u can expect to get kingjacked once a night.

iPoker full ring was pretty standard for a friday night. Couple of regular nits and huge donks spread all over the tables.

I talked to one of my fellow iPoker nits from Latvia ( place to go, beautiful girls whereever u go Very Happy ) who also said that iPokerīs 200NL fr is dying. iPokerīs loyalty programs benefits everyone who stupidly grinds along. Nearly every skin runs a fpp-race, most Rakeback affiliates do and several skins add "most hands"-races.

Every cashback is based on your fppīs, which means you get rb when u were dealt cards and not from what u have contributed. This leads to todayīs perverted situation, where -0.7ptBB/100 shortstacks make roughly 2.2k/month simply by putting in way over 150k hands. I believe it was NOIQ who started the additional "most hands played" race, the leader after 14hrs already put in 16k hands. Whats your max hands/day Mr.Spoon? Friends of mine moved up to 200NL fr, one of them switched to Stars going for SNE now, two switched to 6max.

There was a discussion on 2+2 recently covering that topic, one guy mined the 200NL tables for 3 weeks and the av VPIP dropped to 16.x% if I remember it right, and its still dropping. It isnīt hard at all to play these tables, but its neither juicy. Now youīd say "Hey, 12/7īs are easily exploitable" and youīre right, but thereīs not much to exploit against 30% <40BB shortstacks. Man, Iīm glad to find 9 tables w/ av 450BB in play.

To cut a long story short, IPN 200NL sucks so bad, that even 2+2 regulars consider going to Stars or FullTilt.

On tonights fr session: I ran goot. tables were loose, I nitted around 13/11/3.52 and made profit, surprisingly with a w$@SD below my av 50%.
I slowed down on flops oop against shortstacks and gave them more opportunities to bluff at ragged flops and therefore c/red a ton with good results. I havenīt been into trouble, Iīm wondering if itīs the 2% vpip oop that makes life this easy.

#1 Crazy hands first, no stats, 2nd orbit. Villian has open shoved 3/4 of his hands preflop so far, got his stack by sucking out on A7o w/ 34o.

End session 1, 100NL 6max on Party. Swingy-swongy but managed to finish +$110

BR $5810

Iīve bn super nitty 16/13/3.3, I think thereīs no point in loosening up as long as I get my pay off regardless of my stats. Been into a few awkward spots, gotta reread ISFīs comments on floating in 3bet pots


#1 button is retarded, SB is fairly solid. His small raise is suspicious, putting him on a range of 22-55,AsXs,KsJs,KsQs,TT,99 I have 57% equity and I dont think heīs folding these to my shove with BTN caught and commited in the middle

#3 crazy. Opponent sat down a couple of hands ago. As he went nuts on flop I figured his most likely holding to be a hand, that doesnt want to see another heart fall, like 2pr/set/weak flush. Possible spew, but I said it before, i hate giving credit for flopped flushes

Hey people,

quick update after finishing 1.3k hands of 100NL full ring.

+ $50
BR $5860


Poker bored me, it wasnīt fun playing tonight. Iīm tired and will rather have a couple of mango-maracuja smoothies with vodka instead of analyzing hands, lets do this on monday.

Tomorrow Iīll be out some big mountain riding at a bikepark not far from here. Tomorrow night is reserved for a girl I met this week....time to get laid, wish me luck Very Happy

Thanks for the support Wink Unfortunately I had to cancel my date Sad

Riding with the boys was so fun, the track was extremely muddy and wet and was actually more like a 5 minutes lasting powerslide Very Happy One of the youngsters took the huge road gap for the smallish step down two corners ahead and broke his left wrist. We had to take him to the hospital and came home too late around 9pm, why I couldnīt meet blondie.

Iīm gonna include some more pictures, to make this OP more attractive Wink

On Saturdays full ring session: Like I said earlier, grinding bored me on Saturday. I didnīt run bad, nor had I bad seats or tough opponents or took brutal beats. It simply wasnīt fun and I started drinking, fortunately I closed tables before I could have done something stupid. Letīs have a look at the hands:

#1 Villian is a 35/12 shortstacker who plays for entertainment. Actually a cool guy, this hand is nothing but a cooler at the end, I had "auto post blinds" already disabled.

#2 No reads here. I was lost putting him on a range, he has sets, FDīs, 78 and A9, depending on his style TT, 77 and 88. Bet turn to get a better idea of where Iīm at and given his weakness there I discounted sets. 78 got there on river, nonetheless his bet has to be a mised fd only one in 10 times to look him up.

#3 Villian is 12/6/2.1. Preflop is close getting slightly better than 8:1 implied, but a nit limp/raising has pretty much always KK+. Surpisingly he folded turn with like 30 behind, didnīt expect him to be playing back at me w/ junk.

Aloha peoples,

tonight I had some poker, 1.3k hands 100NL fr:) It was fun again and I did really well. Unfortunately I got coolered once and played a second time so this session ended $15 in the red

BR $5845

Check out the hands

#1 Villian is a 13/7/4.2 regular, he probably views me as TAG, pretty fast postflop. He doesnīt raise sets on flop usually ( see hand #2 which occured 10 min earlier at the same table), so I figured his most likely range to be 66-TT, 44, AhQh, AhJh, KhQh. Iīm quite not sure, if shoving is the optimal play, but Iīd shove my FDīs and AK here as well, I donīt know if heīs smart enough to know that tho

Spend the afternoon in the library doing some research for my economics seminar and while browsing the web I stumbled across this article http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/GameTheory.html. Iīll post this in BC as well, since itīs great article and is very helpful to see what gt is all about and why itīs so important for us. Since I havenīt spend much time on this topic so far Iīm going to do so the next days. Iīll be absorbing economic books anyway and I feel like I have a better motivation/work ethic when Iīm learning something I can apply later or what will help improving my game.

Again no poker for me. a friend of mine celebrated her birthday yesterday and I got wasted. She had some traditional drink, beer mixed with doppelkorn, which is a clear liquor with 40%...Iīm soooo hung over that playing poker would be -----eV.

Received a $500 Bonus on iPoker, from what I have to withdraw $400 to pay for taxes and insurance of my car next month.
