Sorry to all my faithful readers =P, I have not posted in almost an entire month.
So wats newwwwwwww?
The PP Speeds are the shit. I can get a bunch of SNGs in a day in a very short amount of time. THis is so good for smoeone like me who has class and other priorities to take care of.
THe play there is horrendous as well. I have never see such horrible all in calls in my life. So all I can do is be happy and grind.
Iv had to take some money out of my BR for a secret endeavour, but that will be reported in short time.
I am still looking for a good computer programmer who can do overlays for poker tables.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Contact me if u are a programmer.
the sharks are 4 points out of hte playoffs. GO SHARKS!
When analyzing hands dont ever get into the mentality of "well you posted it so you mustve been beaten by such and such".
This is a horrible mentality and a bad state of mind to be in when analyzing hands.
How is it possible to give an objective view on things if, subconsciously at the very least, one is already pressuposed to assuming that the hand is only posted becuase you dont think that someone would have posted it unless they had lost to a certain hand?
A corrolary to this is only posting hands that you ended up losing at showdown becuase you only look at the ends you lose with when you go back to analyzing your play.
I can only begin to imagine all the leaks i never picked up on becuase the only time I cared about posting hands was when I had lost the hand.
From this I would assume that the best way to analyze ur play is to mark down every hand that you had trouble in. Any time you think to urself "o shit wat do I here" write it down and come back and look at it. More often then not wat happens is "o shit what do I do here, o wait i won the hand who cares". These hands are horrible to forget. THe only reason u would say o shit wat do I do here, is becuase YOU DONT KNO WAT TO DO THERE! Whether or not you end up winning has NOTHING to do with whether or not you made the overall right play (not in poker at least, where its possible, albeit very unlikely, to make the wrong play 99% of hte time and still lucksack ur way into winning money).
I am not saying that looking at hands you lost is worthless. Far from it. But when it gets down to the nitty gritty you must look at all the hands that u play, not just the ones that u lose.
If needed, u can transfer me money and I can make a donatino under ur name, I have done this for one FTRer already. I wont mention names or anything.... *COUGH TRICKFLOW UR THE COOLEST GUY EVER*COUGH COUGH COGUH.
On to poker news
I have played 36 10+1s since i restarted playing and I am up 53 dollars. Yay.
Mehg 13.4% ROI.
I am playing some good ass poker tho. Betting alot, being aggro when its time to be aggro.
MMM wat else...
Ah yes, hopefully new avatar soon.
My dancing sig got pwnt becuase our server got hit up with 100gig of traffic in one day. We are allotted for 20 gigs a month. I have no clue wat happened that day.
I have a coach, who, if he is ever online (that donk) will make me pretty damn good.
Also I got my Rakeback money for last month
so whoever I owe that dollar too (damn FTR crash) please PM me, I want to pay u before i transfer the money out of PStars.
Go sharks.
my last update was long as hell and really cool but the stupid crash pwnt it.
STilll grinding
thats all im doing now
just grinding
iv been posting a lot of HHs in the Forums hoping to learn something
and I have.
I have been learning a lot.
Rilla told me that i wasnt playuing a very profitable form of poker. Well jeez its starting to show.
Iv started just ignoring the ROI and the ITM and just looking at $$$$$$. Is it going up is it going down, so on and so forth.
Poker has been good to me for hte year that I have been playing.
Iv been able to pay for 2 disneyland trips, christmas presents, wireless headphones and asoorted other goodies.
FTR has also provided me with a wardrobe.
So i havnt been keeping track of this months SNGs very well
i decided to take the, just play and ignore ur ITM and ROI and just look at ur BR approach. Well either way, its not working out too well...
Iv played 180 SNGs so far this month, at the 10s and the 20s.
Iv also played a few hands of NL25 6Max, i donked off 2 buyins there so thats -50.
My PP acct went from ~690 to about 390.
but my BR is still around 1.4k ( 500 in Neteller, 600 in checking/life fund).
I really hope things turn around. I dont think my SNG play has gotten worse, but dropping 5 buyins day after day is a bit disheartening. I really want to kno wat the hell is going on!
Beginning of December I had to take finals.
2 weeks of studying and test taking.
I averaged 2PM sleep times and woke up at 10PM to continue studying.
O chem
Bio
Contemporary Political Philosophy
All that studying paid off
3.8 this quarter.
Got home on the 10th.
Started PLaying SNGs on monday and Iv played ~ 70 since then for a total of 78 this month.
Down 8 buyins, running 9/44 ITM.
It is during these types of runs that ur leaks become magnified. When coinlfips arent going ur way u can still win if ur good at everyting else, but when ur not good at everything else, it begins to show.
THese are the posts that newbies make. I pushed AJ five handed with 6xBB. I got called by KK and lost. Did i do it right? Of course u did.
But when making the right +$EV pushes arent going ur way you being to question your game. When u question ur game you post and u ask questions.
This losing session I have learned that pocket pairs ~88-TT+ are good for raising level 3 and worht a c bet when possible, becuase limping them loses u alot of value.
The blinds are worth taking down wihtout a showdown. You must raise. THere is still poker to be played.
THank you Trik and THank you Gabe for helping me learn some more stuff.
The bad news is that my poker BR might be decimated.
I have money owed to people and some other emergencies require money.
So how does 4 tabling the 11s with a 300 bankroll sound.
Real shitty.
Iv started and restarted so many times and I am so tired of it. I finalyl built my BR to over 1k and then becuase of this and that and more random crap I might have to lose it all again.
I played a set of 4 SNGs.
I had
Dnutsinyoeye at one table, but he busted before I did so I never go to push on his Blinds
Then I had
Gabe and Bigred at another table.
Gabe was talking smack to bigred the entire time and it was quite amusing. I didnt kno it was gabe till he IMed me and told me. I Stole Bigreds blinds a whole shitbunch and it was fun!
poker update
trip still clearing my Bonus and he has till 12/6/2005 $400 in limbo
My PP BR $678.47
Money that should be in my BR but is in my checking acct till i figure out what I should do $300.
Total "BR" = $1378.47
STats for Oct 31 to Nov 30
130 SNGs played
Entries $2101
Prizes $2130
ITM 32%
ROI 1%
Profit $29 Rakeback 25% of $179 = $44.75
Total This month = +$73.75
Summary = Shitty month.
OK!
I NEED HELP!
I want to improve at this thing called Poker.
I play the 10s and 20s at PP.
I am looking for someone who plays at any level at or above the 20s, who has played alot of SNGs and is a consistent winner, to look over some HHs and give me constructive criticism in the form of overall strategy critiques and specific hand analysis.

Hanvt been playing poker, but really excited about the PP beta version, this means I can start buyin 19 inch LCDs instead of 20 inchers and save a boatload of money.
IM looking for a some good 1600 1200 wallpapers of chicks.
Does anyone have good ones
Iv been looking over at deviant art.
If I cant find one anytime sooon, im just gonn ahave to make one, but that is so time consuming and I have finals in a week.
So I have this Philosophy Paper due on friday.
Probably going to be about The Theory of Justice by Rawls (great book by the way).
I grab the book and I start to read
and I wonder
Am I reading this to learn something, or am I just reading it so that I can write my paper?
Big whoop right? I mean who cares...
So when you sit down at that table
Are you there to learn something, or are you just there so you can make some money?
Havnt had time for playing.
Ochem and Bio really tore me 2 new ones today
that shit was hard.
Ochem mechanisms are really a pain in the ass.
Sorry trip for not replying to ur IMs, I was either sleeping, studying, or taking a damn test.
Trip is going to clear a 200 Bonus for me at MultiPoker. YAY. Speaking of which I need to get that money into Multi.

The Correct way to wipe ur ass
"Wipe IN and OUT – Chances are that you have not revisited your wiping procedures since they were first established at age 2-4. Children’s motor skills at that age are fairly rough and, no matter how well-intended the instruction, the lifelong tendency is to cross wipe up and down, and/or across, and smear the feces around the localized anal area (LAA). Over years what that does is discolor and stain your anus. The ideal technique is to center the remaining fecal matter at the center of the anal opening by wiping “in” and then grasping the entire waste package and pulling it “out” and away from the buttocks (to avoid smear stains).
But due to poor anal wiping technique, many anuses are dark by the teen years, as an examination of the pictures you and your friends likely took of your own anus at that age would reveal."
OK so i went to ralphs today with my roomies.
Long story short perrier was on sale, 2 bottles for 6 bucks.
I have never had perrier before.
It is nasty.
Who the fuck would go to a french restaurant and throw down 7 bucks for a glass of freaking perrier?
Still on a heater.
up 324 since 10/31/2005 however my sample size is a whopping 74 SNGs (split at the 20s and 10s).
