I played good/okay things did not go my way at all. However I put in 8k hands and thats all well and good. Plenty of time for a solid month still considering I started yesterday.


    GL 2 all. Except deanglow, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

    Gogogo Bikes! You're too solid a player for variance to stop you. Looking forward to seeing your result for the month but remember not to sacrifice profit for the sake of making a prop bet.

    first bunch of hands this month done. fml im running abso awful. i think im stuck like 20 bi. which obv fucking blows. it really fucking blows a lot, i cannot describe the amount of doubt i have right now in myself. obv its all illogical but atm it doesn't stop the thoughts from formulating. see above statement for why downswings suck for confidence. i'm running abso awful in every possible way from ai's to coolers to the best turn card to barrel or pick up 2 pair or something and the worst fucking rivers. flopping fd's in 3b pots is not good either as they always have sets. i'm posting one beat because it describes how this month has gone make that 2,

    awesome situation > get fucked.
    Stacks:
    UTG ($115.85)
    UTG+1 ($27.50)

    SB shows three of a kind, Queens


    SB wins $637.35 (net +$197.05)

    On the 2nd hand as we are 200deep and as villain seems fishy, shouldn't we get away?

    At least we are only 1/6th of the way through the month. Just keep making salad plays and you'll crush again in no time. Or if you need to, drop down a stake to get confidence BACK!

    from about midnight on the 12th to about 3am the 13th i think I played about 16 hours of internet pokers. which is a lot. probably the most ive played online in about 3 years.


    sometimes u know, you just gotta play 16 hours in a day. i guess i'll post some fun/funny/sigh hands from yesterday.

    sometimes you just gotta flop sets.
    UTG: $54.85
    UTG+1: $39.60
    UTG+2: $46.30
    MP1: $53.90
    MP2: $40.30
    CO: $54.65
    BTN: $123.30
    SB: $50.45
    Hero (BB): $70.70

    Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with 8 8
    1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $1, UTG+2 raises to $3.75, 4 folds, SB calls $3.50, Hero calls $3.25, UTG+1 calls $2.75

    SB shows A K (two pair, Aces and Eights)
    Hero shows 8 8 (four of a kind, Eights)
    Hero wins $8.30
    Hero wins $152.65


    sometimes you just need to b/c KK on the A high boards and c/jam turns. unfortunate the turn is a heart to make my own look less owny.
    BTN: $96.75
    SB: $40.40
    BB: $74.75
    UTG: $53.40

    Hero shows K K (a pair of Kings)
    Hero wins $192.75
    (Rake: $3.00)


    sometimes you just gotta run people over.
    Hero (SB): $98.85
    BB: $50.75
    BTN: $48.75

    Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with A K

    Hero shows J J (three of a kind, Jacks)
    BB shows 3 7 (a flush, Jack high)
    BB wins $105.40

    sometimes you gotta fold full houses.
    BB: $25.20
    UTG: $50.00
    UTG+1: $52.75
    UTG+2: $53.95

    Dear Stars,

    I've played on your site for like 3.2 days now. I say .2 because I started back about 3 hours before I went to bed. Let me first say I'm not the biggest fan of your software but whatever. Cannot complain too much I suppose. Let me secondly say that you only gave me my account back when I shipped you a picture of my FTP MGR for the last month. That annoys me, I waited 15 days but as soon as I sent you that picture, surely enough 2 hours later, DEAR BB ITS STARS LOL HEREZ UR ACCT! GENERATE US SOME MONIES. Normally I'd be pissed but I'm pretty happy to be back at your site. So happy I decided to do this



    Yes. I gave u like 1.1k monies cause lets be honest starting from bronze star at 10vpps for the year is utter shit for rb. Blah blah blah, it's your fault you let supernova expire BB. Anyway after 3 days of starting at 0 vpps for the month I have like 8.3k vpps and Platinum Star back. PLUS THE REWARDS! OH THE REWARDS! THEY'RE SO STELLAR! Anyways the point of this being YOU COULDA MADE SO MUCH MORE MONIES OFF ME IF YOU GAVE ME MY ACCOUNT BACK SOONER! LIKE 14 DAYS WORTH MORE MONIES! Damn you for making me play on FTP and making them monies.

    Love,
    BB

    Good luck me getting Supernova back by like end of July.

    day 2.
    day 1 of not wanting to play at fucking all. this is at 1/2 cap so like 25bi under ev in 4k hands. fun. was considering meeting some 2p2ers for beers but theres no vpps irl. still might go if i can hit 10k hands within a reasonable timeframe but that's pretty unlikely

    need to play a fuckton before month ends cause have been absurdly lazy due to absurd bad play and sorta run bad. have only 105k hands this month which is pretty unacceptable given i moved to thailand to play the internet pokers. this month sucks but not playing doesnt make it suck any less.

    have 7 days left in july want atleast 6k hands a day avg if not higher. will update blawg every day again with hand updates obv.

    ok. so to start off it's the 6th day of the month. technically its the 5th since i'm running euro time, doesn't matter for all intents and purposes. basically i've only played about 9.5k hands so far this month and that is pretty unacceptable. and before you say OMG BB THATS MOAR HANDS THAN I PLAY ALL MONTH. well thats fine but you didn't move away from america to thailand to play internet poker. so i should probably be playing a crapload more than you DOUCY.

    anyways i have this giant problem of whenever i lose over an extended period of time my confidence shatters. and i do mean shatters and i spend an equal amount of time picking up the pieces which only makes things worse. which is obviously a problem. usually it results in me bouncing between games, which isn't the end of the world tbh and possibly might be beneficial. but the bigger problem is it involves me either in play till even mode or i dont want to fkn play poker mode. which are both huge problems.

    so anyway my head is not on straight atm and it shows. the months ive been in thailand ive played 130k and 140k hands and that includes spending 3-5 days in foreign countries with shiet or non existant internets. plus days lost in transit as travel drains me to a point of exhaustion which i cannot describe throughly. anyway i need to start playing again and play well again so basically just gonna do this prolly

    100k hands of 50nl
    200k hands of 100nl
    and back to 200nl

    might move back up sooner dependent on a lot of things but this is a nice framework. people play piss all awful at 50 and 100nl which will be nice for confidence even if not so nice for wallet. but again monthly expenses in thailand are so tiny that i can focus on what is probably good long run and ignore the short term crap for a while. and let me say if i was truly in grind mode like i used to be a long time ago this could probably be done within the next 30-35 days but if i get it done within the next 60 i'ma be pretty happy. and tbh it's not a bad chunk of change if everything works out right.

    gl me.

    Yeah bikes, stop being a bum. Maybe you need to set up a reward and punishment system to help motivate you. For example switch off your air con and eat nothing but Thai food until you hit a certain number of hands each day. Then reward yourself with tacco and cold air once you hit your target.

    The way I see it, play more hands or get a job back in the US. Poker may be sucking right now, but it sure beats a job. So grind the shit out.

    Ridiculous. People would expect that a good poker player is at least able to devise an untraceable scam.

    what are you doing for table selection? i know you play a lot of tables and that as you move up its pretty tough to keep doing that, but at 50nl and 100nl PS has >130 FR tables right now for each, so its def possible to do. get a big db, use tablescan turbo, and join the waitlist for the top XX tables and then every hour or so, rescan the tables and leave bad ones and join good ones. it may be annoying, but you are giving up money by not doing this, and if youre having a tough run, playing easier games will only help

    thank you for the tips andy will definitely look into doing all of those things. its hard to remember things like table selection help so much when having bad runs. tried to do more of it today without tablescan, probably will get that shortly.

    5.2k hands today

    bitching on

    i really really really hate this insomnia. i've had it since i've came to thailand. i can never really get a full night's sleep and as a result i'm pretty much tired and feel exhausted all the time and it sucks. i've tried a lot of diet and excersize changes as well as white noise makers and all that stuff. valium is not very effective either. it sucks.

    Still adjusting to time zone change? Or something else bothers you.
    Anyway, here's a neat trick, I think it should work, but never actually tried it.
    1. Don't eat anything for 10-12 hours before going to sleep.
    2. Go to sleep at designated time. Sleep (or try to ) for 8-10 hours, or whatever you normally do.
    3. Wake up at a specific time no matter how fucked up you are, and eat a big meal, like lunch (no coffee and cigars and junk food crap).

    This should actually set your biological clock to wake up every day in a time for that big meal. I suppose you should also repeat the process for couple of days, and once you settle in you can bring back your evening meals in your daily schedule.

    GL.

    Go in to a Boots or other more western pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist and explain your problem and they likely will be able to help you. If not, go to a more local pharmacy and ask for xanax, but be careful you dont use it for too long

    also, for the poker front, i have been thinking about getting into nlhe again and considered FR and came across this book that had good reviews Best Poker Books | Dynamic Full Ring Poker

    its geared towards micros and small stakes, but for $100 it has to have something in it that would make it worthwhile, but either way, thinking about the game more and looking at the basics is a good thing to do during a bad run. id really say to buy the book, find a place to print it out, and then spend a day pouring of it, taking notes and creating gameplans for how to implement it

    downswings suck and are really demoralizing, but if you can move past that feeling it forces you to re-evaluate your game and stops your game from stagnating
