    Hit me up!




    I need some inspiration quick. I haven't played many hands at all this week or the week before.

    So, I'm going to put up some goals, for the first time in months:

    Ready?


    $500 for a Metal Gear Solid edition PS3
    $400 for a fucking comfortable chair.



    That's it. Lets see how fast I can get this money in. o/u set at 13 days.


    Now, since I'm planning to get a PS3, I need some sort of HiDEF TV set too.

    But that will be for another race.

    Why the PS3 first? Its a special edition that plays any playstation game ever made up until PS3, and may run out of production very soon.


    GOGOGOGOGOGO! Lets see how many ways I can botch up this one!

    nice. seems like you've stumbled upon the specialty of the house.

    its called a Flügel. don't let the diminutive size fool ya, these are guaranteed to fuck ya up!






    I'm not on pace for $900 in under 9 days now, but I'm up about $250 despite only grinding approx 3 sessions. i made it a priority to only grind "when I feel like it", and so far I have had great results, just not very time-bound.


    My next updates will be slow.

    I just came from a basketball session lasting 3 hours, so im dog-tired, but I still feel good about putting in a quick 1-hr sesh of NL.



    I realized a few more things:

    I matured greatly. Bad beats are now more of a "meh" than an "OMFG"

    I control my emotions much much better, except for my racing heart in tense situations. Its not that I don't "show" discomfort, its that I am not uncomfortable at all.

    I keep thinking clearly most of the time, and when I go on momentary mental lapses, I kinda see them coming and prepare accordingly.

    I am more of a "feel guy" than a "math guy"

    $4 tourneys with 180 participants are not worth my time anymore. I have to play at the very least the $11-180's, the $20-180's, or the $9.90-360's. I need to keep my tourney skills somewhat sharp, as they have a much bigger part in my plan than I anticipated.

    That said, I love cash sooo much more than I love tourneys.



    And no Bjsaust, I have not forgotten about our bet. I hope you didn't, either

    Holy shit, the shift key is so goddamn obnoxious

    Hey Jack, I feel the same way about tiliting. If I get reamed 3 or 4 times in a short period I feel tilty, but I return to normal much more quickly than I used to.

    BTW, I'm pretty much a widower this month cuz it's year end for the wife at work, and she works late most nights every Sept. Therefore I'm not getting lucky. Hit me with something to numb me enough not to think about that.......

    I think I got the perfect thing, cardsman

    looks like we got to get the green fairy involved






    I'm only posting this hand, to remind myself some of my own previously rediscovered mantras

    -don't go for broke in unraised pots (unless, of course, you got the nuts)
    -FUKCING RAISE PREFLOP!


    PokerStars (Tournament): $10 + $1, 9 players
    Sat Sep 06 21:54:28 VET 2008
    (Format: BBCode)

    Hero ($3,990)
    SB ($6,590)
    BB ($5,415)
    B6 ($4,425)
    B5 ($12,885)
    B4 ($2,595)
    B3 ($2,750)
    B2 ($3,580)
    B1 ($6,855)

    Hero is the button.

    Precards:
    SB posts the small blind $25, BB posts the big blind $50.

    Preflop: Hero is dealt :Ac: (9 active)
    2 folds, B4 calls $50, B3 folds, B2 calls $50, B1 folds, Hero calls $50, SB calls $25, BB checks.

    Flop: :Jh: :As: ($250, 5 active)
    SB checks, BB checks, B4 checks, B2 checks, Hero bets $150, SB calls $150, 3 folds.

    Turn: ($550, 2 active)
    SB bets $300, Hero raises to $900, SB calls $600.

    River: ($2,350, 2 active)
    SB bets $1,200, Hero raises to $2,890 (all-in), SB calls $1,690.

    Final Pot: $8,130
    Hero, net: -$3,990, Lost at showdown, has 7 A (Two Pair, Aces and Sevens)
    SB, net: $4,140, Won at showdown, has 2 3 (a Five High Straight)
    B2, net: -$50, Folded Flop
    B4, net: -$50, Folded Flop
    BB, net: -$50, Folded Flop


    amny things are wrong here:

    i'm the button, and I don't raise preflop
    i only raised turn +600, so if he had a flush draw (since he would think that I would not raise if I had my own FD), he'd have to call 600 to win (600+300+550) 1450, plus implied odds if he hit that offsuit straight out.

    so basically, I played like shit, and i have to make sure this mistake never repeats up again.

    here you go




    and sadly, negative on the account. the moment i mentioned "poker", the rep told me "ty, but no go" and hung up


    but i kept researching, and if eventually have the desirable problem of excess cash, i now know where to look

    *hint = singapur



    no poker for me for the last 4 days or so. had to format my pc, etc. last session i played i did drop two buyins though.

    fuck you lee jones, my ass hurts


    today and yesterday, in a nutshell


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($10.20)
    SB ($168.10)
    Hero (BB) ($25)
    UTG ($22.75)
    MP ($25)
    CO ($34.30)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with ,
    3 folds, Button calls $0.25, SB calls $0.15, Hero raises to $1.25, Button calls $1, SB calls $1

    Flop: ($3.75) , , (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $3, Button calls $3, SB calls $3

    Turn: ($12.75) (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $5.75, Button calls $5.75, SB calls $5.75

    River: ($30) (3 players)
    SB bets $16.25, Hero folds, Button calls $0.20 (All-In)

    Total pot: $30.40 | Rake: $1.45

    Results in white below:
    Button had 8, A (straight, eight high).
    SB had 6, 7 (two pair, sevens and sixes).
    Outcome: Button won $28.95




    down like 8 buyins over the weekend, so now only up like 4 since the start of the ps3 thingy



    god i hate this shit



    in another perspective, this happened after I A) played > 4 tables, and B) started playing noticeably tighter. hmmm...

    most probably i simply cannot play TAG, or misplay draws (since none ever hit), or someone jinxed me

    yes, button had 5.95 left, he called instead. i exected him to reopen the betting though, and then i'd push over the big stack.

    after getting raped all day, you really do start seeing monsters under the bed, except these monsters are very real and specially when you play for stacks.


    it seemed like everybody would hit every single out they had yesterday and the day before everytime. the effect of these bad beats seem to compound, with every one "feeling" harder than the next. right after you double up, and keep playing, then BOOM two-outered again now for 200 big bets.

    and when you are running bad, no better way to celebrate than bubbling a 4,40 180, in motherfucking 19th place.


    and after that, to rub salt in my wounds, Q3 > T5 in a limped pot on a QT55 board for a buyin at ongame's 20NL, and I decided this shit is impossible and I should quit like for life.

    this is true. i was trying to experiment and understand how people would run with VPIPs like in the 15s~20s. it seems like a very bad idea, its boring and they outdraw you worse.

    it seems like i'm made to be a laggtard, and it should be high variance. but when everyone hits every single draw and every single out and everything goes against you all night all day like that, it truly ain't fun.

    so, i'm done with this tightening up and play more tables bullshit. fuck vpps, fuck rakeback, fuck bonuses. i'm reverting to old me yet again. play few tables, play many hands, never play tired, and read their souls.
    also, i'll be on a "bankit" strategy for now.

    i will take a short break to cool down. i will take some money out of my PS account, just to resist the urge to move up to chase losses. just let it sit there on moneybookers, or withdraw it and spend it all on bitches and booze.

    he cant re-open the betting if his shove is less than a minraise, all you can do is just call at that point, if you want him to re-open the betting you'd bet like $2.95

    There. that felt better.


    I went into heavy PES mode, trying to get my head straight.


    I did play a few games today for the first time in a long tim (not helped by the fact that electricity went out seconds after I had registered for 4 SNG's), but before that, I got stacked in a SNG in the strangest way. I will find that HH later today (I also did a some OS reinstalling recently) to post. What bothered me was not that my aces got cracked. What bothered me was that the river PSB for full stack went in after I was drawing dead. At least he tanked before calling me down with T4s on TJ25T board.

    The money went in bad.

    Nice!


    I also found some great music to grind to

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjOQ9...eature=related



    \\I have also been trying to learn how to make electronic music. I got software and everything, I only need like a keyboard and shit.

    of course, my genres would likely be lo-fi, lounge, chillout etc.
    making stuff like this (Jens Gad - Northern Horizon)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyxvqR2eSbw


    its a distant project of mine, hopefully not too distant [I want to make this type of music and write novels and shit]

    I ask you for forgiveness, dear poker gods, for having put up monetary goals.

    I will not do it again.

    now can I return to form? I already paid my positive variance for having flopped a royal flush earlier with 297973180884810 KK vs AA pf ai losses, not to mention constantly get river-3-outered or stacks. please let me run at least a little less bad.

    Thank You.

    So, poker.

    I've took down about $1500 from my online roll. I currently left:

    $180 stars
    $130 FT
    $220 ongame (i forgot about this one, or I would have withdrawn it too)
    $ 50 PKR

    there currently is no plan. In this time of economic uncertainty, I am just looking for a good opportunity to put my money in an EUR account and make some extra on speculation. My currency is tied to the dollar .
    I'm closely monitoring the currency market.


    I won't be grinding as much anyways.


    Oh, and about the PS3: its also currently put on hold. I'm keeping an eye on the production on the specific model I want to buy. If they decide to slow production or not make them anymore, then I'll buy. I expect production to remain in full swing until christmas this year.


    dark times ahead


    and props to moneybookers, hasslefree cashouting

    i need something strong



    and btw, fuck online cash. i just dont have the discipline nor the mental toughness for multitable online cash.

    i though i did and in theory i do, but in reality i get a sense of entitlement whenever the pot is big and I am a slight favorite, that when i lose i go on silent tilt; my handreading because of my dominoes background is top notch, so when i put that sucker on a hand, push the turn he calls and he has that exact hand, only to luckbox-3-out the river, i feel like i want to kill puppies.

    now, if this happened in moderate succession i'd be able to regain composure, but it seems (again, perception) to happen like sooo many times back to back to back to back, every time for full stacks, every time i get fucked, and ever time i react in the same way: i go on spewtilt. the multitabling aspect of online poker makes it fairly certain that this happens multiple times back-to-back. i seem to go berserk when this happens.

    case in point: for the ps3 bet, i was up 12 BI at one point, immediately followed by being down 13 buyins at another point. this, followed by the fact that deepstack tables are few and far between at 25NL (maybe on fulltilt, but because of account issues, i cant get or take away money from that specific site as easily as the others), makes it impossible to get unstuck quick. and this adds to the berserkness.


    and then it struck me: i suck at online multi cash, but i rule at single table cash. for some reason the beats do not compound when i only play a single table. but this is also boring as heck. i much prefer it live, or HU online.

    so, i kinda made some slight adjustments, since knowing oneself is key to Zen, and I frankly think i now do (somewhat more). I have no problems with multitabling (4-tabling, 6-tabling, always in batches) SNGs, because a win equals +4.5BI (+3.4BI NET). so now I'll take the tourney donk route again (see my other blogs). i'll only play (some) cash a single day of the week, just to not forget how to play with a deep stack.

    so, in short, fuck online cash.






    there is a regular cash game live at one of my friends houses. i am planning to take the following pokerstars items when i get there in vpps:

    http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/store/...ories/chips-2/
    http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/store/cards/

    the cards are bridge size though. not sure if that would matter. not even sure wtf bridge is

    yeah, if you tilt to bad beats then multi-tabling cash is silly. especially cos a lot of these beats are - as you say - in situations where you're only a slight favourite anyway.
    I have that same perception thing - man ft is rigged, one outer bs, why it always happen to me etc. but then i calmly forget the one outers i hit...
    My all in EV over a decent sample is about as it should be (within a buyin or two), that helps keep the tilt in check.

    i just remembered this

    http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...07.html#637907


    and now I also remember fully well why i did play that hand that way

    and now i also found a chapter in slanskys tourney book that belatedly justified my play in this specific spot


    so i am happy i played it that way, and would most probably do it again

    SHOTS, YO!





    there is something undescribably nice when you hold poker money in your hand

    i have some of it it now stashed away in a box. i immediately got all sorts of inspiration to continue grinding.

    i also bought a $40 cigar, a $35 cordless phone for my mom, a $50 trip to the strip club and am going to proceed to buy about 5 new poker books.



    common tourneys, one big score for me plsss!

    Many people want to go to heaven, but few are willing to die to actually do so.

    This seems like a cliche but it has quite some application in the real world. Time and time again I see this particular situation getting repeated, every time with different actors...

    Including me.


    I'm proud of myself lately however at how I've been working so hard this past week or so at this poker thing. But, as expected, "this past week' is not nearly enough to work very hard at, and become as good as I really want to. So I have to keep going.

    Keep grinding, keep studying the game, keep reading and rereading poker books, keep grinding some more, keep lurking around here, keep occasionally spouting some abstract wisdom here, keep getting myself in situations over and over again, keep studying etc. The circle is endless, but I have to tirelessly go around it.

    In short: get off my lazy ass and work at it if I really want to be that good.



    And right now i too am willing to die to go to heaven. Game is on, baby. Lets drink to that, bourbon pls (tnx flomo)

    I think I found it.

    I subtly suck while a little sleepy, or with any degree of sleepyness in. Maybe tiredness counts too, I have to deepen on that claim.


    Subtly, in the sense that I tend to lose patience, but not notice this.


    This has historically cost me a lot of money, and now that I have realized it I have to somehow deal with it. There is the obvious solution, and then there is the real solution.


    over and out

    nice guys, that's what I'm talking about!

    here, lemme bring out some from the cupboard





    some hand-made Vanilla cigars too, soft and smooth




    I'm still on sngs, but fate is perverse and evil. nothing tilts me more than electricity falling out when in the middle of a tourney (SNG or bigger ones). This has costed me about 16 buyins (4x4, since I now 4-table em standard per session, every "go" is now 4 games with very little effort) since my last withdrawal.

    but even so, i'm not down (or up) much. I try my best, like XTR, not to look at the cashier during play. But I like what i see when playing.


    All is well
    My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...


    Cogito ergo sum

    VHS is like a book? and a book is like a stack of kindles.
    Hey, I'm in a movie!
