i've been monitoring hourly lately. It's interesting. Lucky i live in tax-free-poker world, and that the NZ dollar isn't that strong. I'm running $33/hr since mid-April which is pretty fucking gross, especially cos that includes rakeback received and bonuses cleared.

Still beats flipping burgers

Now I want a burger

Just played 3h today. I'll try to get my sleep schedule back in order and go to bed now (1am)
Just cuz I did it for the first two pages:

Page 3 in review:
2 months, 8 days
+ $4813
+ $880 rakeback/bonus

Lesson learned: move up one level at a time.


I was going to play another session now, but then I drank some baylis... I usually don't have anything alcoholic at home because I never drink... When someone brings me some wine it usually stays there until someone else comes by and drinks it. But I haven't had baylis forever and I love that stuff, so I bought a bottle. It makes you drunker than it tastes.









Also new season of True Blood!
I know it's bad, but I'm too deep into this to stop now. Once you know the story line you want to know how it continues. They could introduce nazi werewolves for all I care and I would keep watching it.

3.5h
+$355

5h of Battlefield BC2. We're developing a pretty solid suicide bombing strategy. If you rig a vehicle with tons of c4 and crash it into a base you don't need much more to take it down. My Team already got permanently banned for cheating on one server. The highest honor you can get in co-op online games imo... to get banned for cheating when you're not.
Good times.

Yesterday was brutal. Long HU session against an 80/4 who played surprisingly solid post flop. I'm not joking apart from obviously leaking preflop he had a plan... he actually adjusted and he did it faster than most regs.
Playing some more HU with some reg who's idea of how to play heads-up is to ship any two suited, any pair, any broadway, any Ax pre, and he raped me as well.

If I could make the rules, I would make poker 1.25x potlimit pre - meaning you can bet up to 1.25x the pot pre, and no limit post flop. That's the reason I hate 6m below 200 buy-ins. and HU against bad-ish regs. There's way too much shipping pre when you're flipping against ranges and too little play post-flop. But pot limit isn't optimal preflop because it amplifies the positional advantage, and that's already pretty ridiculous in HE. Come to think of it we should just switch to antes but keep the rotating btn. Or make the blind size strictly academic compared to the antes.
It will happen. Mark my words!

I always lose to 80/4's heads up.

No kidding. My biggest losses HU were all to fish who limp every button and never fold the BB. My biggest wins were all against winning regs.

Went on mega tilt today. I don't usually tilt bad, but a lot of stuff piled up... No motivation, not feeling great and it just seemed like whatever I did it was wrong. I'm glad I'm leaving tomorrow and won't come back before Sunday evening. Still up 2.5k on the month... was a lot more two days ago but whatever.

About motivation: If someone wants to do a volume prop for next month, that would be awesome. m2m? You're a huge prop fish... you in?
And I want to fly around for a bit if I have too much money in august. I already have a trip to spain planned with a couple of friends, but I really want to go some place where there are monkeys... 'cause monkeys are awesome.

That would take me almost 200h. I'd be more in favor of betting on time played.
And tbh I'm pretty sure that would end up as a push.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong.



Just came back... I'll start off the grind with playing a couple of hours of battlefield, then I'll watch the NEW SEASON OF FUTURAMA OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG and go to sleep.

4h today. Tilt quit after the second session.
Played a couple of HU sng's at the end of the first session. Won 5/5. ROI: 90% :'( wtfrake
I don't like that that if you don't get a significant lead the first couple of levels, you're basically flipping against anyone with half a brain. Ideally I think there should be no blind increases and you it should be split by stacks after X number of hands. - I mean this is what all heads-up tables should look like. I think I've complained about it enough in this thread... I'll just write FT and PS a request. If they get enough maybe they'll implement something.

Play HU cash LDO

6h
-$1750

Biggest loosing session @100NL so far. Roll is down to 6k. I might withdraw 2k and rebuild from 50 because I don't feel like this game is beatable atm. Most of the money has gone to guys who play nearly 100vpip and never fold before the river.

I wanted to make a video why that is a problem but I don't really have the motivation now.
Basically I can either sit down, wait for them to ptr me and sit out, close the table and open the next, or I open a bunch of tables in which case the regs will immediately contact FT support that I'm blocking the tables. After two complaints I get banned from the ring games (happened within 10 min.), and if I get one more my account will be suspended. So no HU cash for me.
That and the last guy to agree to play with me on more than 2 tables was yaawn half a year ago. So I'd have to play 3-4 different players to get some volume in. That is extremely stressful unless I do what everyone else is doing and just sit and wait for megafish.

Say thank you to pr1nnyraiding ldo.

...not beatable? If most of your losses are to 100vpip, then how is it not beatable? You sir are too results oriented. (take it from someone who also is).

It's just funny how you can underestimate variance after having played so long. So much for 100000 hand samples being significant in any way. You could probably win over 100k hands and be a lifetime looser or the other way around.
I have dropped 4k in about 15k hands at 100NL or below. Of course there was tilt involved... I haven't been very tilted in a long time... but it's easy not to when the worst that ever happens is 10 loosing sessions for -20BI and then it goes up again.
Or simply that your runbad periods are spread out. I now had two days this year where I lost 2k in one session and all it did was it knocked my winrate from 5.5ptbb to 4.3. If you move that hand over here and this hand over there it's a straight line up, and there wouldn't be anything wrong.

Anyway... I need to regroup. I'm moving down to 50NL and $50 HU sng's until my graph goes up again.

Out of interest oskar what's your standrad deviation over a large sample in BB/100? You can find this in the report section of HEM. You seem to swong about a hell of a lot more most players.

I can look that up once I'm home, but I can tell you why. I value bet a hell of a lot more than most - maybe to a fault. I c/r bluff rivers against other thin vbetters, and I overbet both as a bluff an for value. I play a lot more short handed than most FR regs because I'm constantly opening tables and I never refuse to play regs HU while opening tables, even if I know they have an edge on me - this has hurt me in the past but atm there are only two who I feel have a significant edge on me, but I already got a gameplan for next time.
And I don't play with a stoploss or take lines to decrease variance because I usually have 50-100BI for the level I'm playing, in addition to having a years worth of living expenses in the bank.
Over the long run this has worked out fine, but it's times like these when I think about going back to playing 12/10 with 3% 3-bet and grinding out a steady profit.


edit: 70BB stdv

I'll start timing my sessions with a stopwatch so I don't have to see how much I'm up or down when I check HEM.
Anyway... can't look so idk. I guess around 8h.
Up a lot I'm sure, but whatever.

Holy shit man 70 is enormous! That's your defo your natural style though and i wouldn't fault it given your past results. I think if you're prone to tilting maybe ease off and play more strightforwardly during downswings just incase you're not making your best decisions. I'd imagine playing your A game often is even more crucial to someone with your style.

I'm not that prone to tilting, and I'm back to normal grind. Today will be a little slow because of saturday, but I'll try to grind till morning when I get home.

Hi faive to all the bankroll nits!

I'm not really logging my sessions now, because I'm too lazy for the stopwatch thing - I simply forgot about it three days ago, and it has been running ever since.
Lots of hours today. Started off good then doomswitched pretty badly. Once some guy to my right starts calling down every hand to the river, I should just quit. Nothing good can come from that.

Or value bet

CBAT sweat = doomswitch

It's funny how when I was on a heater people would PM me what my opinion was on a hand. Now even the micro grinders think I'm wrong on every street of every hand.

Sadly nobody agrees to grudge matches anymore cuz I'd just love to play some of those guys. Not for the grudge, but for the moniez.

I thought you played 6 max. Do you play on Stars or Tilt? Just my opinion, but I strongly recommend a 5% bankroll stop loss for any one site. If you hit the stop loss and STILL want to play, log on to another site. Don't use the "I'm not tilting excuse" AND ALWAYS stop if you ever find yourself tilting whether you hit your stop loss or not whether you are losing or not. Also, I think it can be difficult to mix and match too many games and formats. If you're having a tough day or tough stretch, consider dropping HU play or SNG's and focus just on cash or vice versa. The same would apply if you're mixing FR and 6max to just focus on one.

It's really rare that I swing more than 5% in any one session. I don't play 6m, but I've logged enough hands at FR and HU that I can feel comfortable playing that.
The sng thing was just because I got sick of people hit and running me heads-up. I won 8 in a row, then I lost 3 in a row and now I'm done with sng's
But I do think there's an interesting aspect to super shortstacked heads-up. I will definitely revisit that sometime.

I'm not going to post hands to prove a point, but I'm just running ridiculously bad... the kind of runbad you have once every 500k hands.

Spoon tricked me into loocking at my cashier yesterday, but I won't fall for that again. I won't look again until the 13th at least.

lol at this 5% bankroll stop loss bullshit

you only live once take some loose shots within reason.

oskar what your hours count?

Then go take a shot at 5/10 wtf.

damn right!
wtf r dese fags talkinbout.


I'm at 32 hours. Starting another session. At least 4 more hours today. But I can't give you any more updates cuz I can't disable the $won/lost column in the sessions view... and using a clock for keeping time... wtf is this? nineteenfourtyadolf?

I remember a time when I didn't want to fold the 2nd nuts every time. I want that back.

snap quitting poker

dropped 700 in about 20 min - 300 of those while I was already closing down. I'm at the point where I want to throw up when I flop the nuts because I already expect to loose. I'm cashing it all out and re-evaluating.
I could post like the last 20 biggest loosing hands but it would be a pure whining post.
I still have about $700 worth of ftp's - if anyone has an idea what to do with them, that would be cool.
Nevermind the EV thing... given my overall winrate I'm about 10k below expectation over the last 30 days, and whenever I think I'm ready to pick it up I get knocked down again. I've had days this month where I haven't won a pot over $50 in 8+ hours.
I know this is stuff that you need to deal with at some point, but I can't right now. Maybe in a week or so.
Later everyone.

+30k and something lifetime if I quit now. Could be worse imo.
Don't worry... I'll be back. But me and poker need some alone time.

On an unrelated note what does sucking dick pay right now?

Just a thought...





just






a

If you quit the pokers, GL in life, 30k is a lot of sushi and poker sucks anyway. If you dont quit, then I hope you get back into your groove as soon as possible...because you're gonna run out of sushi!!!

Vaykay away my man.

I don't really want to think about that. It feels liberating having made the decision to put a stop to it. I'll prolly be back on the grind before the end of the month, but idk.

sucks dude.

take a break, not like you'll be missing out on huge ironman loyalty anyway Pull a bunch of $$, all you need to leave online is $1k, or none - hell, you're in easy euro deposit land. When you feel it, come back and grind it out from 50nl.

re the points, go to the 2+2 trade thing if you really want to cash them out. Or buy ipods/cameras cos they are easy to find resale for. Or buy tourney entries and luckbox a major score so you can say +$230k and something if i quit now. Sounds better.

I is bak!


I left 2k on tilt... it's ~2.6 now after rakeback arrived.
Went paragliding for a week... way more physically demanding than I thought. Not the gliding part... the walking up 45° slopes during the hottest days of the year with 60 pounds of gear on your back - part.
Interestingly enough the height isn't scary at all - I'm guessing because you have absolutely no point of reference. You could be looking down on a map for all your brain cares.
Goal for now is to grind about 2k and get back up there asap. - You can fly in the winter, but then a hundred million tourists come to the alps and bring truckloads of cash so the prices go up tenfold.
I'll start off the grind by ordering a pizza and then going to an open air movie gogogogogo!

YouTube - scarface push it to the limit



btw, does anyone see my new avatar? I see it in my profile, and I tried re-uploading and resizing and everything.

I still see Caesarbot with santa hat.

Also, WB!

Paragliding sounds pretty epic minus the walking up steep slopes. Welcome back and i wish my fellow Austrian some rungood!

Not much to update. Grinding a shitton. Lost a lot to winxp crashing, so I spent the last 12 hours installing windows 7... almost done.
Can't complain about the last week. Grinding 50NL... moving up while trying to pay bills teh gay tho.
Roll is at 3.5k I'm taking shots at soft 100NL tables. Moving up again at 5k.

I need to shift my priorities when I get up there again. I bought so much stupid shit when I had a 5 figure BR and tons of money in the bank.
Well not totally stupid. But shit I didn't need. Need to remember that... becuse come winter I'll want a video projector, and I'll have enough money to buy one. YOU DONT NEED ONE YOU STUPID SHIT.
Do something productive.

you've inspired me. Yesterday i was looking at d-SLR's cos i want to become a movie-making star and you can use normal cameras to film shit. But.... I'd want something cool to watch the movies on. And i have a big white wall busy doing nothing upstairs in my place. Shopping list is getting longer

You want to be a porn star?

Spent way too much time playing Starcraft the last couple of days.
Today I had to pay social security and car insurance so I needed to make another withdrawal which puts my BR back to 2.5k again. I'll try and get a fixed schedule going so I get a reasonable amount of hours in this month. My net worth is looking good tho... But I want to hold off with touching the reserves as long as possible. My living costs are pretty low, but I'm still spending loads on food. I thought learing to cook might save me money but au contraire!

Anyway I'm off to grind. I won't be in IRC too much, but I'm always glad to find people who want to sweat me because it keeps me from doing stupid shit. I think my pm might still not work, but you can post here and I pm you my skype ID or whatever.

i'll look you up on skype re the sweat thing once i'm back playing poker sometime next week

I continue to run like death. I keep going on those ridiculous runs where I drop 5BI in under a minute, and all of them in super obvious ldo-get-it-in spots that aren't worth posting. It's haunting.
I've lost about $150 to table ninja... I'm uninstalling it now. It disables itself if you type in a browser, in IRC, while taking notes, but not in the chatbox. I keep calling huge overbets or raising in super obvious fold spots because I type 'orly' or something like that.

Anyway... rant over. I'm approaching 200k hands break-even while still having one of the highest overall winrates of the FT lowstakes regs. That might just be due to 500k hand samples being pretty worthless... and yes I'm serious. I think if you've never had 100k+ break-even or 20+BI swings you're probably on a lifetime heater of some sort.

I really believe that myself as well as a lot of people who are considered good regs were just running extremely good over a very long period of time... even if it just means having your loosing hands spread out so you don't go on a roller coaster ride where you have 15 consecutive loosing days that crush your spirit. Then it all evens out and their graphs become a straight line... you keep seeing that - lifetime graphs that go up and then straight forever. On the other hand there must a huge amount of players who had the potential to become winning players but just ran bad from the start and gave up on poker.

Hey, Oskar, I'm back from the dead and checking on some ol' pals to see where folks are at these days. First, I agree with nearly every word of the post I quoted from above. Understanding poker variance is a big deal with me - I think about it a lot. I don't think most folks do, but most of us who spend a million hands (or more) fiddling with poker learn some real lessons about variance, like the ones you mention.

Second, I'm glad to hear your perspective on Table Ninja, since I withdrew a ton of $$ and don't have much role online currently, yet was considering an investment in it.

Third, I hope things can turn around for you soon. I also hope that the breakeven is just at the tables and that your rakeback is still generating some cash for you.

Wishing you the best of learning and luck with pokerz....

thx 2u2

Use the trial period for table manager. I hear that the stars version is better.
Goal for the rest of the month is less whining like a little bitch and more grinding. I've switched to 6max for the last couple of days following iopq's advice, and I feel pretty comfortable with it so far.

I'm out of town since friday... Dropping in on the last days of a jazz workshop that I attended the last couple of years, but due to lack of practicing and stuff I decided not to go this year. And I immediately regretted it. One ensemble mixed I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth (zappa) and Oops I Did It Again. Another one did Peep by Randy Brecker in 15/16 - which isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. The hard part is to convince the homos in the lead section that it's a good idea.
The good news is all the jam sessions in vienna are starting again after summer break pretty soon.

And I did some actual work regarding poker. Unexploitable cbet sizes in different situations and how ranges connect with boards cuz I was turned on by how sexy the numbers were when spoon posted a really simple one in IRC. The good news is the numbers are still as sexy with more complex ranges. Bad news is it's unlikely that I'll make any life changing discoveries, but I think it makes the whole game a little more transparent.

I ate some cactus fruit and now my hands are all stingy.

Looks like I'm back on the job market. I'll take my last 1k and go bonus whoring. Thx spoon:
spoonitnow: US Bonus Whoring Guide for 2010 (Part 1) | Advanced Poker Strategy

In the meantime I'll concentrate on strategy and simple game theory. Maybe take the opportunity to learn omaha... if I'm going to 4-table 25NL I might as well try to do something productive with it.

Put half my points in $26 tourney tickets and got out ~$600 - that's more than twice than what they would have gone for at the 2+2 marketplace, so I'm happy about that. Now I'll grind some 25NL for the $500 deposit bonus on Absolute.

I'm making a radical change in my quitting decisions. I'm no longer trying to grind a certain amount of hours, but I'll base my quitting decisions on how much better/worse it will make me feel to win/loose some more. I was going to grind 2 sessions today, but after the first one I was up $450. It won't make a big difference for me if I double that, but it will suck if I play another five sng's without cashing, so I quit.

My level of happiness/content this year hasn't been proportional to the amount of cash I had. The times I was most stressed out this year was when I had ~30k-ish to my name, and the point where I felt best was when it looked like I was going to be confirmed busto really soon. Not because money makes me sad, but because I had a shift in priorities. If I can pay my rent, get good food, drive my car, go climbing, get laid, play drums, suck at starcraft, go paragliding... then I'm good. I don't need to make 6 figures a year to get to do that. Every cent over the minimum won't raise my quality of life by a lot, but the stress involved in trying to get there might make me misarable. I don't need to put numbers on that to see that those are shit odds.

Tomorrow I'll start to get my grind on at 25NL. If any micro grinders want to sweat me, hit me up on IRC or skype. I'll post a thread in the BC as well.

you have a new pm sir.


Totally agree with you on discussion about money vs free time and stress.

Hope all is ballin'

More wurkin', less ballin'.

Pfr is a super nit, 3-bettor is kind of active, but still his range is ridiculously well defined on the river.

He has to be bluffing/spazzing at least 11% to make this a call.
All in all I'm really just calling this to win one or two bb's at best, and I put 150bb at risk to do that. I really think that folding is the superior option because of stuff I've talked about in my last post. Loosing this hand when I know I'm putting that much at risk to win so little is tilting. Not tilting is more +EV than the one or two bb's I potentially make with this call.

Villain is 80/20 with 75% fold to cbet over 50 hands
Turn makes my head explode because there so much in his range. I'm just posting this now so I go through this later. can't be bothered now.

Monday I start working a 25h/week job that more than covers my living expenses and should be fun. Which means I don't need to cash out anymore. It's 14:00 - 19:00 CET which are the worst hours to play poker anyway.
Maybe even more importantly it will keep the tax office from asking stupid questions - my poker income this year is over 5 figures after all, and I would not mind it one bit if I don't have to tax that. And they have a health plan and everything. Taking that into account the pay is actually decent.

sounds like a good plan. having a part time job would also make poker more fun, less stressful, and given that perhaps even more profitable?

Here's a picture of me courageously and elegantly taking flight IN DEFIANCE OF GOD'S WILL.

Idk about more profitable, but hopefully more fun. Poker hasn't really been fun for me since January 2009.

where is that?

Austria, alps... you wouldn't know

Just a quick HU for whoever is following: I'm doing great since I withdrew my roll. My day job is awesome, I'm spending much more time playing drums - I studied music for a reason, and I spent way too much time away from it over the last two years.
Way back when, redzill4 made a thread about not withdrawing anything from your roll until you can buy a house. That was the best advise I never took. But I'm working on that right now.
Poker wise I'm not playing much atm, but I will pick it up soon. Priorities are elsewhere tho.

I remember that time dranger told us he had some task to attend to but got high on various drugs and had unprotected anal sex with a girl he didn't know instead.

Somehow I think this was meant to go in another thread

oct. update: silver 1v1, platinum 2v2, gold 3v3, bronze 4v4.


And my Absolute bonus is running out. fml. Anyway... christmas time is grind time. Cos that's what Jesus would do.

Haha yea it was, sry. Also, wtf with getting like 15mins to clear AP bonuses?

why are you guys playing on a site that is rigged/has superusers/will steal your money etc.

I'm not sure I want to answer that.

Think you should ask the admins to change the thread title to "highway to the dranger zone" for the lolz.
