i am exhausted and getting sick i think so this is going to very very brief. i am still in big rapids till sunday mebbe so pics are going to be a bit lacking as well for the next few days. to keep this very short and brief and still retain some form of usefulness when grinding try to reduce distractions as much as possible. turn off your cell put AIM to do not disturb and tell wife/gf/frands to gtfo for a bit whilist u make da manies. the less distractions you have the more you can focus on the poker decisions which is only more +EV the more and more focused you are. also if you listen to music, i would suggest either something that relaxes you or makes you happy. leaning towards something relaxing but happy music is good now and then because most of us play far better when we are happy. like music can influence your play in more ways than you can imagine and it's best to err on the safe side and either listen to something that i talked about above or dont listen at all imo. | |

i have nothing productive to say atm due to tiredness. well that's a lie i'm sure i can come up with something worth your time to read. i learned poker the tag way like every one did back several years ago and it worked very well. i still think it works very well. even so much as to say the nitty side of tag is probably still the way to go in ssnl. anyway along the way i learned a lot about being a lag and it really messed my game up at the time and tbh i still have some lingering effects from it because i didn't know how to apply it into my game and ended up spewing chips in a lot of spots where i shouldnt have which consequently lead to tilt and bad sessions and lots of lost monies. it also lead me to level myself into calling in a lot of spots in ssnl where i shouldn't have because i decided this was a great spot to bluff and he's repping a hudge hand or pure air and frankly a lot of people then and still aren't capable of making big moves with air at ssnl so that was a great cause of distraught as well and to this day it's probably why i hero call rivers a little to often instea of bluff raising or shoving | |

seems to me a lot of people are trying to learn plo. this is good as plo is a great game to learn and if u want to ever take poker seriously for incomes its not a bad idea to learn plo. one thing i notice however is people dropping all the way down to 2 plo to learn. c'mon. lets be serial here. the amount you are going to learn from 2plo and manies made at 2plo is absolutely non existant. example say u played stud all yer life and suddenly want to learn nlhe. so u start at 2nl. how much do u expect to learn with people calling 3 streets with bottem pair, and open shoving 80bbs with Q9o. not much. | |

theres nothing wrong with just dropping down as low as you can to learn what hands to open and stuff like that so you dont spew off 15bis at a higher level. you didn't address this at all in your post, you just talked about how playing against bad players doesn't make you improve, which is certainly false. | |

Finally read through all 3 pages of this beast. On the whole being nice thing, I did a good thing yesterday that made me feel like a boss. It's tl;dr and would just clutter up an awesome blog but totally get where you're coming from on the asshole thread. Being a dick for no reason just seems pointless if you don't know the person. I'm a dick to irl frands all the time because its funny and probably expected at this point, but they know its all in good fun. | |

let's talk about taking time on decisions. everyone says how important it is to take time on decisions and they're correct though i'm not sure if they know why they're correct and in pokers its know the why instead of the what. | |

for a long time in this blog i've advocated quite a bit of useful tips and ideas pertaining to playing solid good poker as well as the mental aspect of said interweb pokers, it is roughly the time where i should probably follow my own advices and take things off auto pilot. moving on up with bb starts today i suppose where i'm changing this blog from stuff to moar of bb writes down what he thinks every day. | |

it is really hard to play solid poker when hungover. if you can't guess why i hate you. but mebbe its just me and everything is slow and everything hurts making focusing on multiple tables rather difficult. trying to keep up with lots of villians and their tendencies is just a giant ass pain when the head is pounding and ears are ringing. so therefore i don't reommend you play poker hungover and if you must i'd recommend cutting down on the tables. now u might be thinking lol duh bikes, but u'd be surprised how many ssnl/msnl pros i know who play hungover every friday-sunday and consquently can't function at what is probably their a game and then they wonder why they 'run' like such dogshit on the weekends. hmm. | |

it's really easy to get frustrated with this game. esp when you have bad days/weeks/months. this is really where mental control comes into play. it's easy to say 'i'm a billion times better than these morans how the fk can i lose' but in truth it happens, i'm not going to explain variance. i can't really explain how important discipline and mental control is during these times. i mean it all goes down hill so quickly when you let your ego get in the way, first you start playing bad then the next thing you know you're playing at higher levels playing piss poor poker if you can't control yourself. this is pretty disastrous and i know plenty of people who would be absolutely crushing if they could learn to control themselves better. so remember when you have some bad days that poker takes awhile and you can't jump from 25nl to 1knl in a month. it's a slow process and it takes a lot of dedication and control as well. if you're not dedicated to the game and have a large amount of mental discipline then you have a very difficult road ahead of you. so remember take a step back and just remind yourself there is always tomorrow if you're having a rough go at it. | |

changing the name of the blog to empire. sounds cooler than stuff. though stuff does sound cool in abstract but then again so does empire. it also sounds more douchey and pretentious which i find luls. meh on second though i'm keeping stuff. sometimes poker and life in general kicks you in the ass many times in a row. when sometimes its hard to continue all you can really do is try again. when your dreams are big you really have to remember that on days/weeks/months that go bad, if big dreams were easy to achieve then frankly everyone would be extremely successful. and thats what separates a lot of successful people from the ones who aren't so successful, they worked hard and decided the pain was worth the ends and went out and got what they wanted. now some had an easier time than others and some had shit just silver spooned into their ass but w/e if its not like that for you its not a huge issue it just means you have to work a little harder. | |

for the same reasons that it's difficult for me to blog when things are going bad its equally as difficult to blog about when things are going good. one seems like whining and the other seems like bragging. both are pretty meh to me. that being said i had something brought to my attention from a frand today that i've always known and never applied. i've thrown away a lot of good days by playing that one last session before bed or when i can't sleep. i never play great and things usually to always go poorly. so i'm going to stop doing it. also from looking at my graphs and various graphs and opinions of 2p2 frands we've concluded if we actually ended our sessions when we want to instead of waiting for the sit out next bb to come along we'd probably be thousands richer. this is probably due to the brain not wanting to think about poker anymore cause brain has decided sessions is over let's think about all the fun stuff we're gonna do and thus we don't focus on the pokers at hand and horribal decisions are made in the last 5 mins of a session often with catastrophic results. which is why i just completely started nitting it up to obscene proportions when i click the sit out btn on all my tables. this way i get my vpps and dont do anything incredibly stupid. | |

one thing about is poker has its ups and downs. what we are trying to accomplish is to maximize the ups and minimize the downs. if you don't then this game eats you alive. so what i'm going to say is this; enjoy poker as much as you can and do all you can to make sure you maintain that enjoyment. sometimes you have great days where you made great plays that were rewarded with positive results and frankly you should do everything you can to enjoy that feeling. then there are those days that suck balls where you play like shit and run like shit. do all you can to brush that off as quick as possible and get back to playing good pokers. otherwise it just compounds itself. likewise with playing good compounds on itself, you make good plays eventually they work, your confidence and happiness increases as a result and you make more monies. ugh this is not the most useful post ever and i don't want to delete it because i like the message i just hate the way i wrote it. anyway make sure you enjoy poker and find happiness in it as much as you possibly can and you probably go far in this because the best people in any field are usually the passionate ones who find true joy in their work. | |

poker blows balls sometimes. ie you run QQ into the 60/23's KK on 4 different occassions or you start the month out awesomely and then u lose every ai, flop nuts and bdf always gets there and they always have it. don't respond to this post i'm just venting and that is all. | |

what i really want to discuss is the people who mass table the micros with little knowlage of the game. this is a really really really atrocious idea. i mean the point of mass multi tabling is when you get to the point where you platuea as a poker player, as we all will because lets face it the elite in this game are very very rare and chances are no matter how well you work at it you probably wont hit 10knl online, again not the point, where you start to break even so you drop down a stake and crush the level playing lots of hands and winning lots of monies as opposed to breaking even at a higher level. i mean to short yourself on time when making important decisions when you are just learning this situations and you don't quite understand what standard is yet is just going to completely cripple your growth as a player and lead to future frustration of a large amount. | |

since my last post had almost nothing good in it. i say almost because holy fuck kristen stewart. fucking twilight ruins loving her. anyway let me talk about doubt. during everyone's career you will have a soulcrushing god awful downswing. usually this results from running range cold for an extended period of time. running range cold is running into the tippy top of everyones range at every medium/big pot spot. ie sets in every 3b pot and what not. and this causes some serious mindfuck. i really cannot stress how badly running range cold fucks with your brain. what it leads to is doubt. and doubt destroys good poker players. and i mean destroys, you start seeing the nuts everytime you get raised and thus making redic folds at absurd times. this makes it increasingly important to really check through hands to see if you either A) got lucky or B) got really unlucky or C) made the correct play. otherwise your head just spins constantly and as a result you play piss poor poker. | |

Much Love for you last post. Poker is easy when you are beating a game and running decent. It gets about 500 x harder if you aren't beating a game or running range cold as you put it. Doubt --> less volume --> bad habits. |

I live that post every day BB. Around december last year I was beating $100NL for quite some time and was playing full time on a semi-tight BR. I made my move to $200NL and had no problems, but I left myself short in BI's over Xmas and ran into exactly what your talking about. I have been seeing ghosts and running horrible at the same time. So much time spent on trying to get back to where I was. I really feel like I needed to learn all over again | |

playing against the ge00fish. a very strange and difficult multi headed monster to play against. itt i offer tips to slaying the beast. the first ge00fish many will encounter is the A game ge00fish. where he is not stoned or frustrated. in order to combat the ge00fish type 1 u must first realize on the flop he is going to flop the nuts. and if u do not get the monies in on this street, lee will punish your lack of bold and aggressive play and allow him to keep his nuts. so in order to combat this you must MAKE BOLD AND AGGRO PLAYS. which he will see right through but lee rewards aggression and lets you suck out on him and let's face it ev is a useless number. example QT2 rainbow. you get the 89. you must c/rai on a single raised pawt. he will snap u off with AQ, but lee rewards you with the J on the turn. or ge00fish 4b's you and you 5b shove the big lick 69 of red. he will indeed flop an A but lee smiles upon u and u runner runner a flush. | |
