first thoughts that i'm borrowing from otehrs

"plo is a stupid game for rich people who hate money" - Dave Lemon
"confirmed. all too salad." - fat-b

5 spades

or stars i guess

bigger tits pls, but great job otherwse

few thoughts after 4.9k hands so far today.

in the game of NLHE as you move up be aware of your image. certain regs will think you're abso stupid and will do things as adjustments. esp when some reg berates you in chat. you insta know so much info from wat he says.

ie. "omg fkn fish call" - he thinks you be a station
"wtf r u doin wif dat hand" - he thinks you be too loose pre
"jfc i should know better than to bruff you" - he thinks yer a massive station
"ffffffffffff coolered by the maniac" - he thinks you be rly aggro and rly loose

make adjustments based on what you've done and gauge how much people are reacting to you. if you play std tag then this isnt the most important thing in the world but as u start 3bing moar and get away from 18/16 6m stats becomes moar important.

and no i 3b liek twice in the last orbit is not history. on that note take good notes on what hysterical or unusual plays you've made or had preformed on you. this is out of the ordinary and is rly important. esp take notes on what regs do in 3b pots as thats were u'll make the most money off regs because people become so less nitty in them. others dont and u want notes on these things.

i've been playing a lot of plo lately and i consider myself no where near qualified enough to give any infos, except that i play pretty nitty compared to some regs rocking the 80/34 or 65/40 or the 30/4 for that matter so i leave u wif some luls.

hit yer freerolls. prayers to lee halp wif this.
weaktight | Hand | JsKh9h8d - $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
win yer 3 way arrrrins pre sorta deep for shallow tables
weaktight | Hand | 8h7d6c5c - $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
dodge draws
weaktight | Hand | KcTd8d9s - $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
and suck out when necessary
weaktight | Hand | KhQdQhKd - $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Hi

people play rly bad but plo is a game where everyone has decent equity so dont let SWONGS get to you either

thats all i feel like typing so hawt chicks

ignore warpe, this is gonna become my most-frequents thread on ftr

ya, tits are just fine so far. imo. wtf warpe.

proceed.

k have something to talk about now.

people constantly tell people at like 100nl+ they dont know what its like to play the micros or w/e. its a far different game blah blah blah. as much as i hate blanket statements i think this is v wrong. and before u give me all kinds of crap ive spent the last month and a half rebuilding so yes ive played down in the hamburger stakes, cheeseburger, steak stake, w/e the fuck u call them these days.

my stats were very close to 20/18 with a 5.8% 3b. now u can say blah blah im better postflop but let me tell you this. i put everything i know aside and had a nice notepad note on my desktop at all times while playing it said something along the lines of this

Bet/Fold.
Don't take elaborate triple barrel bluff lines when people can't read hands v well.
4b for value.
People don't rep sets and 2pairs, they legit have them.
Take breaks.

and thats it. and yes it was that simple for me. i made good hands and v bet them and if i didnt have a very strong hand when i got raised i simply mucked. AA on 954r and i got raised by some regtard? muck. exploitable? yes. anyone good enough to exploit the fact im b/fing everything but the near nuts? no. keep this in mind when you think the games are really tough or Xlimit is much harder than Ylimit. simply continue to b/f alot and i guarantee you'll show profit. also i double barreled great cards to bluff but ended it there. ie 278t A, stuff like that. just keep your composure when you get raised constantly in quick succession and you'll be just fine and rmember they usually always have it but the times they dont, dont nearly equal enough to make redic hero calls or stack off wif 1 pair in a raised pot.

now tits



also im in love wif this girl. stay away or ill cut you

So true. I rebuilt from 10NL about 4 months ago and the lower limits are still very easy to beat if you follow those notes.

very nice pictures btw

100% agree with your micro statement. I just started a rebuild myself for reasons we won't get into. Everytime I start to overthink and "play poker" with these tards i get into large pots with no FE and a station that can't fold TT on a J62r, K turn, Q river for 100BB pots. When I 8 table, play very tight positionally, and aggressive, fold to anything that resembles a raise it's "easy game". We tend to think that after winning a ton of pots with no showdown, we talk ourselves into believing that we can play light vs these flop and turn raises, or preflop limp/3bets, because they have decided to play back. In reality, they waited for a hand, and would fold again if they didn't have one, stating "when I get a hand, I will stomp this aggro monkey."
Baluga said it best when talking about SSNL:
(1) GET VALUE!
(2) Don't bluff.
(3) Don't pay off.
easy game.

BBickes. I love your women. Yes even the one with blue hair. Cut away

let's talk about losing. doesn't matter how awesome you are at pokers all will have losing days. you get it in massively good and lose, happens. this we all know. and sometimes when u have the nuts u get beat by quads. this also happens.
Board [Qs Th Jh Jc 8d]
Seat 1: baronaking (big blind) showed [Js 6d Td Jd] and won ($51.25) with four of a kind, Jacks
Seat 6: hero (small blind) showed [3c Qh Qc 6c] and lost with a full house, Queens full of Jacks

it matters not that this happens as we all know wifout variance there would be no fish. and we all know those damn fpp pros cooler us to hell sometimes. anywho as i was saying none of this matters. what is far more important is how we handle these 'beats' and coolers. tommy angelo tells us we should work as hard as we can to play our A game at all times, however he acknowlages that its impossible to play A game all the time so he advocates stuff when we are playing sub-par.

when you feel tilted take breaks, theres nothing wrong with just getting up from your computer and doing something else for awhile. the games will be just as good as they were when you left and there will be other fishes to fry. no reason to sit and spew manies when the solution is a few footsteps away. Even if its just 5-15 mins it helps immensely to get away.

there are many articles on tilt control and i highly suggest you read them if you haven't. there are lots and i mean lots of awesome poker players who will never ever reach their full potential because they tilt crazy bad. dont let urself be one of those and when you start to feel tilted take a break. i mean i had to take several today, is the nature of plolz you will take halirious beats and its all std. doesnt mean im immune to it so i take breaks when it becomes vexing that some recreational player has called mah 4b with A28Q and spiked the wheel. after i just lost a few big pots. happens. take a break, come back and take maney. the f do.


tits because i need something to smile at ldo.



i can be you're sweet spot, take me to ya candy shop

OMFG I LOVE U BB. <3 RED HEADS

This blog is the nuts for like, a hundred reasons.

I only counted two, poker and boobies

tummys, cute faces, raves w/o much clothing, we could go on.

[06:18pm] [fat] boobies
[06:20pm] [kiwiMark] why you prefer four cards to two cards
[06:20pm] [kiwiMark] and then boobies

as some people know i picked up plo about a year ago, started killing the 1/2 2/4 cap games on plo then got crushed in a halirious downswing which is all std for plo and stopped playing. i recently picked it back up again and am really enjoying it despite days where lots of manies are won and then days where lots of manies are lost. the game is just so intriguing. i can go on but ill simply cliff notes it

moar postflop skill is useful and required
moar fish
less solved game
also gambooool

i guess i cant think of anything else to talk about so im gonna talk about how vitally important it is to a lot of peoples growth to have someone to talk about internet pokers wif you. i mean looking back i wouldnt know anything near to the amount of pokers i know, which isnt very much, without the halp of several solid friends through the years. it's vitally important to your growth talking about cool concepts and ideas with your friends. there are a rare few people who have made it all by themselves, PA and isildur1 come to mind but for the most of us we need to discuss things. discussion promotes growth and blah blah blah. just make some friends and discuss stuff. it's vitally important. part of the reason we crush the loller live pros when we play live is due to, seeing lots moar hands than they have and we have places to discuss optimal lines and cool stuff like that other than, "hay i owned this tourist today for liek 2k" oh also make sure its not the blind leading the blind cause that leads to disastrous results and u'll get trolled by erik's blind leading the blind pic.


GOOD MORNING IMO


that bikini is so f hot.

i'm rly tired and i've played alot today so i'm going to say this. after you've had a few bad losing days in a row it's rly fun when you have a winning day. and flips and 60/40s w/e go your way. it's also equally great when your solid frands have good days as well. cause during the late night discussion everyone is happy. for obvious reasons it easier to be happy about good and great plays when you won as opposed to losing. it's very important not to be results oriented when evaulating plays but at the same time its hard to get excited about awesome lines and concepts when you got your ass kicked all day.

also last night i decided i'm not playing nlhe for a long ass time except live and donkaments. i tried to play some nlhe last night and it was very frustrating to me. as we all know solid hands are hard to make and in plo you get good hands constantly and in nlhe not so much. so naturally i got bored and turned on the postflop lag and it didnt go very well because people like calling a lot more than folding and esp people love hero calling a lot more than hero folding. cliffs, i didnt make many solid hands or was dealt anything solid so i decided to bluff in spots where i thought i repped alot but people don't like folding at all so obv it didnt go well.
i find plo alot more fun these days anyway so no giant loss.

there has been a lot of yellow fever floating around the people i talk to on a the regular and i am a man of the people so here.

hi Brett - feel free to start posting loads of hands in the plo forum

poker is fun. obviously running under ev blows balls but gotta keep on trucking. heres to another day of grinding tomorrow =)

LOL WHITE GIRLS lol @ bRETt

wat

AYGOS?

sometimes guys there just nothing you feel like typing about. mostly because poker has been very swingy lately and tbh no one wants to blog when they're running bad and we'll i've been running horridly but it's turning around and thats great. i split about 5-6 cords of wood today so i'm in a giant amount of pain and abso exhausted so i'll try to actually come up with something legit to type about as my brain is about the only thing that isn't broke, as i say this it took me 4 tries to type only right and another 2 to type tries.

so let's talk about tilt mebbe. specifically discovering the reasons you tilt and what you can do to avoid said tilts. we all know what tilt is and therefore i'm not going waste my time explaining it. i don't know what makes other people tilt, well surface issues i know but tilt is often from some other deeper problem other than random suck outs, but for me it's mostly two things. the first thing is impatience. i get really frustrated and annoyed when i don't move up as quickly as i think i should be, esp when i feel i'm a far better player than most people i'm playing against. impatience that my hourly is too low blah blah blah, you get the point. i feel a lot of people have had this problem at some time or another or currently have it and the only thing that i can tell you is you have to have patience. even in games where you abso crush everyone in terms of skill sometimes things don't go your way and you need to learn to accept that. it's rather difficult i know but just remember if you put in the work eventually things go your way.

the other is when the bi's matter. that isn't to say the money matters cause frankly the manies should never matter. i've put myself in a lot of spots where the $ was quite large to me and frankly i've never noticed and i can have some people attest to this. i'm saying when the buy-ins matter. IE your short rolled or you just moved up which is why i advocate playing fairly deep rolled when you move up to any decent stake ie like 100nl or something that you know you can beat but the swings happen. i've advocated a lot moving up through the micros quickly and i stand by that. i think its abso retarded that people play with like 70 bi for 10-25nl. blah blah blah my game isn't very good, well frankly your only going to get better by playing lots of hands and playing decent-solid players. and lots of studying, different topic different time.

anyway if you can master your emotions you'll be playing with durrr in no time. fees would say the key to playing wif durrr is to learn the secret to winning lots of flips but this lollertale is saved for another day.

Bout time, I was waiting for my "stuff" fix last night and it never came. As far as the tilt, that is probably my biggest problem as well. I have regrinded a roll from nothing so many times, and the micros will drive you to kill when things are not moving. So many tmes it's a combo of the two, becasue beating the micro's is a forgone conclusion if you have any two cards, but you play so short rolled having been there before, and losing 6-8 in a day can absolutely tilt you over $150 becasue your just so far away from where you need to be.

i have no clue whatsoever wat to type aboooot so let me think for a few mins. i don't feel like typing about good study habits atm cause thats a long ass post.

for the people who read this comment back with stuff your interested about so i have something to type about at the end of the night because if i have to think of stuff every night this blog is going to die quickly.

i guess all there is to say tonight is that we play an abso brutal game that can take it's toll rather quickly and it can be very difficult to keep ya head on straight. try not to get too caught up in the swings and just play solid pokers. as one of mah bestest frands tells me...

one sesh yer god, next one yer a mouthbreather.

the long run is a long time sir and as easy as it is to get caught up in the day to day doings its the long run that matters.

Ok so lets's talk about long runs. How do you first off, work through your long downswings? How do you stay focused during long heaters?

Lastly, do you think it's possible to have stats that seem to be fairly inline, but there is one minor leak keeping you from actually producing large winrates? What stats, or particular places should people be looking at to make that jump from 1BB/100 swongfester, to 5BB/100 steady winrates?

Just when I thought this forum couldn't get any better... bbickes starts a titty thread and utopia sets in.

The best part about this blog is between the tittys.

Well shit then lemme take my booby goggles off and get down to it...

working through variance is really easy for me actually. i have this really interesting tendency to wake up every morning and not let what happened yesterday bother me today. also downswings and upswings are kinda in our head and don't actually exist so it's like every day i wake up with a clean slate on what happens in poker today. the only exception to this is when i've had a horrific day prior and force myself to take some extra time off. example today. i was up liek +3bis then dropped down to -8.5. some of those 40/60-60/40s go my way and lul im prolly up like 10bis. it happens and you cant be bothered by it. i mean each hand is it's own individual hand and should be played as such. you can't be bothered that you lost the last 3-5 flips in a row because that doesn't matter. i'm getting off topic.

the point is as depressing as downswinging can be the point is it's all in the past. haukuna matata as disney would say. you kinda just have to chuckle, and move on as quick as possible. shit, plol brings me luhls on the regular due to hilarious hands i see that beat me in 4b pawts. AAKJ < AQ73suited to the 73. sometimes u just have to luhl and move on because there are other hands that require your full attention. i really don't feel like ive answered your question very well mostly because i don't notice i'm downswinging till after ive completed my day and don't even think about such things until my day is finished. i guess all i can say is "there is no spoon" and grind on.


staying focused on upswings is easy game. as doyle brunson would say "ride the rush!" i mean when things constantly seem to go your way you should be fighting tooth and nail to put in as many hands in as possible. again the idea of an upswing is all psychological but when you feel like you can't lose, confidence is one's game is one of the most important tools to have and when you have an abundance of it things seems easier. 'upswings' usually result in great play and when your playing great you should want to play lots and lots of hands. the only exception to this again is if i've had a bunch of really bad losing days in a row then i get tempted to book decent size wins. w/e it's not horribal imo to have like 4 losing days in a row, get up like 8 bis in 1k hands and call it a day for perhaps the day or a few extra hours that you'd normally play. phil galfond says protect your happiness ev and this is what i'm doing with that. however booking wins is a horribal habit to get into and should be used very very very sparingly i can't stress that enough.

so i guess the important thing is to not think of your downswings and upswings as ya know legit things cause they aren't. but if you are upswinging ride the rush {acronym renton hates}

YESSSSSSS

I wish you moved to Oakville. Poker would be a lot of fun here.

horray

taking the mid-day part of today off to watch football. go michigan. diagf notre dame. i can't think of anything to type thats notable so i'm just going to post one of my favorite motivational speeches.

Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Not even me. Alright? You got a dream? You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves they wanna tell you you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.

just another standard day of plolz. also i'm taking my first weekend off in like 2.5 months this upcoming weekend so i'm really looking forward to that. i find plol is a lot more draining mentally to me and i'm not quite sure why. if i had to guess it's because of the swingy nature of the game and it kinda takes its toll over multiple sessions during the day. this month so far i've put in over 60 hours already not including study or discussion time. jfc. sorry to all readers my blog hasnt been that informative lately i'm running out of quick things to type about and i type this everynight before i sleeps so i'm usually borderline sleeping and thus the quality suffers a bit.

so for some people who like schedules for pokers and what not i'm going to give u an avg day in the life o bikes.

wake up 12pm-1pm. somewhere in between dis time, bikes streches his arms, yawns and wakes up and says "hello new day wat will this new day bring" 5 mins later brain starts functioning and extremely happy new day feeling wears off

shower shortly after waking up, turn on stereo in shower and sing like a girl. is awesome. f u haters. shower singing is an art. brush teeth and shave in shower cause savin time is ldo.

walk down to desk and load up internets. browse 2p2, fb and ftr in no specific order though usually fb comes first. is fun to see what people are whining about on a daily basis. usually something about baby jesus or pray for a miracle for blahblah. sometimes browse funny pics of drunk frands.

read irc and chat wif mcat ge00fish fat and kingnat. listen to kingnat talk about whatever loller problem he has and get made fun of whenever bb voices a problem. ie driving is a real ass pain for me as i'm really ocd while driving and driving long distances or any distance for that matter is a hudge break when i survive accident free. lol asiandriveaments. fat brings luls and smiles and mcat talks about schools and awesome foods. redzill4 sporadically chats to say "power sirs" then leaves convo before any replies are given, iknorite

2:30pm load up tables. brain is finally functioning at full capacity and we are ready to play internet pokers! usually dis grind continues till like 5pm-6pm. when i take a break till dinner. click a mouse win/lose a house and such.

also during this time pester ge00fish on skiaps. this is a very important time of day where we usually just give reassurances to each other about making hero folds and hero calls and what not. and its +ev to talk aloud yer thought process so both you think things throughly and someone can tell u wat a dumbass u are if u are thinking stupidly. if ge00fish is unavailable for skypes, then whining occurs aboooooot how preposterous wiff is or how preposterous jack is or how atrocious his manual labor is.

7pm. dinner. a sacred time to stuff face full of delicious food. is the best meal of the day because the best foods are always served at this time. noms. watch sportscenter as well so can keep up with the sports of the day. food coma if necessary.

8pm moar grindings of the internats pokah. moar button mashing and moar giggling and sighing at atrocious play. breaks inbetween and such and lots of water drinkings.

11pm-1am. grindings of internet pokers stops between this time and study time begins. look over how badly i played today/ or how awesome and take notes on regs about stuff they did. will elaborate on good study habits later. after all this is done day ends wif moar skype wif ge00fish about random things on the internets and moar personal convos as he gets moar and moar "baf'ed" a word he created to substitute for baked as fuck. the reason to wait till hes "baf'ed" is so he won't remember the convo. ez game. also talks to fat everynight about plols and pokers and smiles are always brought to mah face talking to fat as he always knows wat to say and can turn a frown upside down with a "std, isok"

mach love to alls

fun post to read

this blog is awesome

I luz u

inorite, I get so excited every time this blog is at the top of the thread list

Do you only play plolz these days?

lol at him sticking to any one game for more than three days

today i got a smirk from some bimbo waitress while ordering dinner tonight. i ordered a chicken ceasar salad, no dressing no croutons. she gave me a dumb look and said " so you want romaine lettuce with some parmesan cheese?" i sighed and told her w/e but srsly wtf. i had the same thing several times happen to me in vegas when i got a sprite and grenadine. "so you want a kiddie cocktail?" JFC. when your in the service business don't make fucking snide comments or make people feel stupid, it makes you look like a jackass and frankly no one wants to do business with an asshole. it's horribal for repeat business and as such should never be fucking done, customer is always right. also the easiest way for me to get you to go skimpy on your tip is to make me feel stupid, lame or embarassed so dont fucking do it.

how this relates to poker. berating the fish is one of the borderline dumbest fucking things ever to do. repeat fucking business. you berate some clownhead fish and he decides, well mebbe i dont want to play with this jackass and he finds another table. you berate some droolcupping mouth breather live and mebbe he doesn't come back to the place where u regularly frequent, thats one less braindead moran in your games. i don't see how i can make this any clearer don't fucking berate anyone at the tables, the only exception to this rule is when a reg berates a fish. tear that reg a new asshole. it's fkn bad enough that people are getting better at poker but u want to scare away the sillybonks as well? absurdity.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

there's moar earlier in thread

just realized ftr has my favoritest font in the entire world so i'm gonna use it. one thing i want to say is today if you feel like you has a rly strong hand against his range and you think he calls a PSB a hudge pro cent of the time, consider overbet shoving if it's not a massive overbet shove, 1.2-1.8xing the river has made me quite a bit of monies when people just can't find folds where some people would bet like .8x pot, i just ship 1.2x pot knowing they'll call each with near equal frequency. which goes back to my point earlier of handreading and understandment of meta game. sometimes people just get so annoyed at you they decide they don't fold anything to you. to quote aejones.

"very simply, there are two types of nl players. there are those who like to fold and those who don't like to fold. some of the ones who don't like to fold also like to bet, and they are better than the ones who don't like to fold but also dont' like to bet. the ones that like to bet just keep b etting and making the ones who like to fold fold, until the ones who like to fold get pissed, then they play back in a untimely matter that meets their demise in the sense of losing mobniesz "

which brings me to my next point of discussion. meta game. this is a very very important concept that i see people misuse and misapply constantly. it's the game in the mind of the pokers. how people are likely to react to certain acts preformed upon them and the anticipation of such reactions. if you can get someone to play sub-optimally and know the ways that it affects their game you have a hudge advantage. there are about a crapload of people moar qualified to talk about understandment of meta game but i feel i can give a solid crash course and i'll run through it in some other blog post.

Happiest part of moving out is getting rid of satellite internets. It has only dropped out fully once and I only had a couple of games going but the times it takes 30 seconds for every action tilts me so hard. Biggest waste of 70$/mo ever. Slow/unreliable do not buy. we have no choice obv.

also this is 5 star thread and would make me want to play plo if I wouldn't cry myself to sleep when I ran 20 bi below aiev in relatively short period.

uh.. weird you just disappeared the metagame thing. I thought it was ok but it wasn't like omgz that why he 4bet A7?

Awesome blog, but no womenz in several posts, please fix.

when you could type more or moar, why do you choose moar? I have never understood this part of the internet.

A while ago you made a well post recommending HUSNGs as a good way to learn poker. I'm finally taking your advice on that, any resources around that you think I should check out, off the top of your head?

<3

drew that was a lemon joke. plz just let me know when you know you're gonna have a vacancy?

doc. it has a lot to do with the picture of the fat kid holding the box with the MOAAAAR caption. as to why that came alive on the internet, i am about as clueless as you are but id assume it's mostly due to the internets overwhelming desire to be different from mainstream irl society.

kiwi i would suggest the digests in the 2p2 hunl forum. some of them are very very good. others meh but thats for you to figure out as i didnt bookmark any of the good/mediocre/bad ones.

i'd like to thank you guys for the compliments on the blogish thing. it makes me happy knowing that people appreciate it and encourages me to put forth some effort into it.

well i've been on vacation for awhile in big rapids visiting some college friends and we've mostly just watched football and consumed alcohol, a lot of alcohol, probably dangerously large amounts. anyway it's really being around people that are happy to see you and you can relate to what not. i spend so much time on the interwebs that i was beginning to worry that i couldn't connect very well with "normal", for lack of a better word, people. also i can confirm all beliefs that everclear is an evil evil liquor and should not be consumed in large amounts in short periods.

on to pokers. joe ingram has once said there are two types of winners at poker. those who grind and those who play. roughly paraphrased. and there is nothing wrong with either of them. i ask you is there any difference between the 200nler who plays 6 tables 6 hours a day and the 100nler who 24 tables 6 hours a day when they both make say 80k a year? No not really, yeah you can say one is a better poker player and they will survive longer as the games evolve and such but this isn't really an important part to what i want to discuss here.

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.

so my point is, there's no rush to play craploads of hands in a short time frame. reduce tables if you even begin to feel overwhelmed and think every situation through carefully. consider his range and how your hand plays against it. consider what he will do with that range to a raise, check or bet and consider what he will do with his range on certain turns and rivers. and then think about different ways to play the hand, you can come up with some pretty cool and creative lines if you think them through carefully. and even if you've reached near the peak of your potential remember there is always something to learn and taking breaks from multitabling and dropping tables to re-evaul your game can only be +EV.
