I'm almost reluctant to do this but w.e. certain people I take seriously said I should seriously consider writing one and reading Dr. Giggy's blog has moderately motivated me so here I go. For those of you who don't know Dr. Giggy is pretty much my new hero since Stellar Nubllar decided to be a moron.

Anywayz yo I'm BB, I'm 20, out of college at the moment due to a bad case of strep when my program started last August. So I've pretty much done nothing but poker, sports and fap. Unfortunately I have a lot of tilt issues and have only made like 15k in the last 7 months. Hopefully I'll learn to resolve those eventually. Anyway my current game is usually whatever the hell I feel like playing. I know I'm proficient in every form of NLHE including FR 6m and HU cash, turbo SNGs, hyper turbos and MTTs as well as full stacking, deep and 20bb cash. I realize this may sound like arrogance or overconfidence but I think its pretty true. However I get bored really easily and a bad stretch at anything I'm playing will make me switch games so while I am proficient at all the games I'm really only great at HUNL and the variance of the game drives me insane so I don't play much HU anymore.

In the following months I have to do several things. Firstly pick a god damn game and stick to it. No changing every other week. Except Sundays, hyper turbos are way +EV if you have a good 10-15bb stack strat and know even a slight bit of ICM. Second, I need to fix my tilt issues. All the people who I've helped with their game are now crushing higher stakes and it kills me inside. Obviously there's no one to blame but myself and my lack of emotional control so I need to get the tilt under control and stop destroying solid session after solid session with one giant disaster. If you look at my TR graph its pretty much the story of the last 6 months. Thirdly I need to put in more volume. There is no reason whatsoever that I shouldn't have SNE this year. I need 3.2k vpps a day for the rest of the year and if I don't make it I've lost some serious monies just because I am lazy and lack work ethic. I think I've only had like 5 +2k vpp days this year and frankly thats really pathetic. Definitely need to work on that. STOP FUCKING TILTING and the other things will come easy.

Props to IRC and GL at the tables everyone. Out
Tilting is the toughest thing for any poker player to deal with in my opinion.

I'm sure you will stop tilting and keep your emotions in check.

good luck!

Hey Guys,

So I haven't really blogged since about before my vacation. Things haven't gone so well and frankly its not that fun to blog when nothing is going right because it just turns into a giant whine-fest. Anyways Florida was kinda ruined by star's bankwire fiasco as they pretty much screwed up everyone's bankwire and the wire I was supposed to get on the Monday before I left came on Monday the week after the trip ended. Awesome. Though I will say I had an awesome 21st, spent it with a few best friends and just stayed in.

Poker has been going umm, decently? I don't know if I can use that word to describe it or not. I've been ss'ing for about half a week now to try and catch up on lost vpps that I couldn't get while in vacation. Umm I'm not very happy about it and frankly there are a lot of things I would rather be doing other than ss'ing 10k+ hands a day but w.e. I'm so far behind pace right now I really do not have a choice. My ptbb is like .75-1 so that mildly offsets that I've been fpp proing recently for no other reason that I need vpps. I figure in like 30-45 days I'll be where I want to be vpps wise and can finally go back to real poker, that is if Stars doesnt make any changes mid april which they announced they might. Frankly I think theres no chance. They know all their high volume players can't leave because their VIP system is miles better than anyone elses and the break even players simply cannot leave. Anyways ss'ing is not awesome and thankfully I won't have to do this for very long.

That all being said I'm really looking forward to summer. I get out of this shitty town and I'll be back home for a month or two. It's gonna be awesome playing footy and football again and nice weather is something that is going to be all the more awesome seeing as there is a permanent cloud over this stupid f town.

Take care everyone =)

+$1927 on the month. Despite thinking poker went poorly this month it wasn't bad or anything esp considering I took about a 10-11 day hiatus to go on vacation. Am really excited to grind again and I've been doing 7-9 hours a day again. It's really tiring but I've really neglected to put in hours for the past few months and I need to get back into habit. Gotta make that paper and the only way to do it is to play, a lot.

Also my car is busto and I can't go home for Easter. Which makes for a sad me because I miss out on the smorgasbord that is Easter food. Which kinda blows. Whatever I suppose, its outta my control so nothing I can do but plug along. Only 2 more weeks in this god forsaken town! Woot!

Take care everyone.

Leik PMG! Hai 2 u.

Enough with the pleasantries obv. So this month I've decided instead of mindlessly chasing vpps like planned that I would work on plugging on some of the leaks that I have accumulated due to not caring, being lazy, and frankly not giving a shit. Anyways I've been playing rush in order to plug some of these leaks, retool my game and just work on my game overall. I'd like to say its going very well and the results are starting to show. Which makes for a happy bb. Also dear frand ge00fish is going to be taking his paternal leave soon. Which is awesome. Things are going really great for him and rightfully so, he deserves a lloooooot, hahahahah canadia words, of run good for putting up with me. So to him we wish the best!

Also heading home in a few days and outta this shithole town. So much happiness. Tonight should be the last night of fun I have in this town so gonna try to live it up a bit.

Take care everyone =)

Hello to all. I am back home and life is awesome. Being outta Big Crapids is absolutely wonderful. The weather is instantly about 10 degrees nice on average and there is no gale force winds blowing though town. I mean what can I say other than I never ever want to go back to that pit where souls go to die ever again. =)

Poker is going well, which is really cool. I'm playing a lot better now that I'm happier about my life situation overall. For obvious reasons its a lot easier to play your A game and B game for longer durations when you're happy as opposed to being sad/angry. I've been doing a lot of rush poker lately and it's really helped me as far as not leveling myself into stupid calls or shoves that I used to in the past. Which definitely improves the winrate a substantial amount.

I'm really looking forward to this summer. It's gonna consist a lot of grinding, getting back in shape and hanging out with friends from high school. Basically just going to be a lot of relaxing and seeing friends I haven't seen in about a year and then filling in all the gaps with grinding and working on getting my footy skills back. I gotta say I'm really excited to get back into shape fitness-wise. All my friends and I are 21 now so it's the first time we can all legally drink together so epic disasters pending the plan for the summer is:
Vegas sometime mid June
Lemon-fest mid July
Canadia - most likely late august pending a few things.

Also bonkthorne and I have another prop for the SCOOP of which I can crush his soul in yet again. Esp since I don't think I've done any kind of donkament stretch since our last prop. So the victory will be that much moar awesome for me. Suck it Thorne.
