daaaamn it's been a minute since i've played

i recently quit wow so now i have a good bit of free time. trying to get back into poker. downloading hem again.

i think i'm seriously gonna give a go at this harrington book i have. i want to get out of 2nl at least.

heres to good luck in the new year!

felix cash - $40 buyin, $110 cashout, $70 profit

ian tourney - $40 buyin, $0 cashout, -$40

felix cash, $60 buyin, $60 cash, $0 profit

i think i did a game at felixs where i played and lost $20, not sure.

hans just got back this week so he had a poker game at his house

$10 buyin, and i cashed out $60, so that's $50 profit. hollaaa

i've read about 50 pages into harrington on online cash games. i'm gonna start reading it daily before i go to bed.

played some cash at hans's

$10 buyin, cashed out $27, $17 profit

fun game, it was good to play with everyone like that

down to the last $10 in my ps account

what the fuck am i doing? i better get my act together.

played cash at felix's for the first time in a while

-$20

i'm really bad. those guys i played with today are pretty good. time to brush up. maybe quit sf cuz nobody seems enthused about it anymore. i want to play a game where i can be surrounded with people who are always down to play.

cash game at felix's

bought in for $20 then for $80

got up to $200

played 3-4 way and lost it all

risked too much on marginal situations + shitty plays

-$80

- stick to the time limit you set whether you're winning or losing

- if you lose, don't play more

- don't go all in with KK on J-J-x board after you get reraised on the flop

cash game at felix's

$20 buyin

cashed out $68 ($48 profit)

fun night rofl

cash game at felix's - $20 buyin

cashed out $45 ($25 profit)

i'm gettin back on track

i'm also getting coaching with bogdan on sunday! yeeea buddy

cash game at felix's

i bought in for $40 total

came out with $80 ($40 profit)

i'm gonna use it on coaching. most likely bogdan.

cash game at felix's

-$20 :(((

gonna call it quits for a couple weeks for sure

i watched haj school #1 and #2 so i'm gonna start grinding on them vids

cash game at felix's

-$30

i only played like 3 hands in 2 hours

i had AA, ian raised to $2, i reraised to $6, and everybody folded

i had 22, i raised and shane called, i hit my set on the flop but it was all diamonds (none of my cards were diamonds) but shane had one diamond and beat me

i had QQ, got it all in preflop against rob, but he had KK and he hit a set

i only have like $20 bankroll left :\

i will not play until next paycheck because i only have $35 with all my money combined

i feel surprisingly chill after getting beat :)

cash game at felix's

fullring

-$35 ($20 buyin, rebought for $15)

i was running pretty bad and once i got cards i played shitty

DO NOT PLAY MARGINAL HANDS

bad easter poker

played with uncles at jeds house, they were fuckin reckless (goign all in blind etc.)

i came in second place twice with them. $10 bi each game so i'm at -$20

then i played cash game at felix's, made like $25 then i lost it all with JTo (-$15)

so yeh -$35 today :((((

i really gotta start studying

i really gotta start watching the dc videos

FUCK

cash game at felix's

$20 buyin

cashed out $153 ($133 profit)

if i get enough winnings i may get coaching

also learned that it takes like 100k hands to see if you're a winning player

i finally broke even, got it up to $9 yesterday and fell back down to like $3 an hour later, then now i'm like -$1 (was 3-tabling). i'm only gonna stick with 1-2 tables from now on.

it's only 4.5k hands so i won't sweat it. it's taught me some valuable lessons.

here's my march graph (4500 hands)

cash game at felix's

$20 buyin - cashed out $70 ($50 profit)

i finally broke even

i read stinger88's pro college player thread, good stuff

it made me wanna try PLO, so i did. it was way different, but it seems like a lot of money can be made there

i'm gonna grind up through the NLHE ranks then probably try again

played cash today at felix's

won $40

total profit from live games:

+$90 (tournament, first, [100 won - $10 buyin])

-$10 (tournament, 3rd place [0 won - $10 buyin])

-$10 (tournament, 5th place [0 won - $10 buyin])

+40 (cash game [$60 won - $20 buyin])

total - $110

came in 5th place at felix's

blinds were 2000/4000 i think

i was UTG and i went all in with ATs and got called by KK

:(

played 6man tourney at felix's again

came in 3rd

i went all in with mpwk :\

i played at felix's house yesterday

9-man tourney, $10 buyin

i won $100! i bought HEM micro with half the cash and will use the rest of the money for future buyins

yaaa buddy

i was reading an article on pokertrikz and i decided to really take poker seriously

i just made a $50 deposit on pokerstars and i plan to grind .01/.02 until i reach $100

(a total of $70 on pokerstars and $25 on cake poker = $95 lifetime spent on online poker)

so i really gotta be determined this time

http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/chris-ferguson-challenge

rules to set for self:

if you lose a buyin, quit for the day

if you gain 2x buyins, quit for the day

i just put $10 on pstars

about to play 9man sng

it's been a while since i updated this

my $10 on pokerstars finally ran out a few days ago

been looking into sng's because i might be hitting up home games more often

i did pretty good at the session @ josh's friends party - 1000 php win rofl

i just played some 0.01/0.02 nl fr and i was running hella good (started with about $3 then i got to like $6) but then i got AA and got flushed out. here's the hand:

i haven't touched poker in the past couple of days because of suikoden tierkreis

cakepoker has finally reactivated my account, but i cannot add any more money unless i provide a bank statement

i bought a notebook and started to really read the procrast anthology.

read throughly and took notes on:

I.Background
b.Basic Theory: Expected Value by matrix128
c.How to Put It All Together and be a Winning Player by MikeyPatriot
d.Where does the money come from? by dbitel & Isura

i plan to play for an hour or two later tonight.. or tomorrow

won about all my sngs (around 5) but lost one

trying out a 0.01 990 man tourney and a .10 360 man tourney.. lost both

second session of the day - played like 4 sngs and lost all of them

i tried to 2table and it threw me off. if i really focus, i can win these one at a time.

i was honestly just playing like shit.

down to 7.67

man, fuck cakepoker. i sent them an image of my student id, driver's license, and debit card and they said the quality wasn't good enough. and now they want a utility bill. im on a fuckin trip, rofl.

i was able to play on pstars with the smart bro, but it looks like i already ran out of time. shiiiit.

i made about a couple bucks at a table in an hour, but then i left and lost those two bucks in one hand at another table.

read a bit at 2p2, especially the "how does anyone survive 2nl" thread. i think im just gonna build my br by doing the 1.10 don sngs. sounds like a good plan.

so i'm here in the philippines now @ the internet cafe

all the clocks are wrong in the computers, so i'm unable to play on pstars

a lot of people here play on facebook poker

i'm going to open an account at cakepoker because it seems to work

rofl $25 minimum.. gg

error 212 wtf, shitty ass cakepoker

lawl now they won't let me play until i send them verification. i haven't even played a game yet.

I played SNG's for a while, and was on a good winning streak, then I started playing shitty.

1/9/2010 - $5.12

I brought a few DC vids with me:

- From The Ground Up
- Baby Steps
- Road to Robusto

+ Ryan Fee's 6max guide

I'm going to be studying these while I'm in the Philippines. (I leave in an hour)

My goal is to have these all done by the time I return.

Small games aren't bad.

1/4/2009 - $12.63

right now i'm playing like a scrub

i'm going to quote myself

"WHEN PEOPLE RAISE YOU BIG OR RERAISE DO NOT FUCKING CALL/BET IT UNLESS YOU HAVE THREE OF A KIND OR HIGHER

OMFG YOU STUPID NOOB WHY DID YOU CALL ALL IN $2 WHEN YOU WERE DRAWING"

DON'T EVER SLOWPLAY

I had a live game at my house yesterday with Ji, Ron, Brenyer, Pat, Joe, Jay, and Kyle. The pot was $50 @ 75/25, and Ron and Joe won. It was fun, I'm def. gonna have another session sometime.

I played on Pokerstars at Jay's for a couple hours, got my roll back up so I'm happy with that.

1/1/2009 - $5.54
1/2/2009 - $11

Looks like I'm going positive this new year.

I've been playing on fullring lately. I still need to watch the FTGU videos and cancel my DC account before they charge me.
