What have I been doing lately? Not much, still looking for work, my head is a mess, my mind is literally frazzled all the time. I have no way of venting frustrations, or happinesses. What a grind life becomes sometimes.
It's funny sometimes, i see this blog after a long time and feel the need to post something. But, i have nothing to say, except i have officially become that which i hate the most...BORINGGGGGGG! Maybe it's that time of year? Dunno...
Onto poker, I started playing at cake poker recently.It's unbelivable how many fish play there. I deposited $30 a couple weeks ago and have ran it up to about a grand. I needed the money so i cashed out most of it, but gotta say, love the site. Feel free to join the site using the link at the side (we both get $100 bonus cash if you do...).
Anyhoos, tara for now

what is this post about? absolutely f***ing everything
Been a while since i last posted on this site. Sometimes with life, it's hard to remember things like this blog. But, plod on i must!
Life has definitely changed so much lately. I go to the gym almost religiously now. I do press-ups and sit ups all the time at home. I seem to want to get in good shape and i will get there. I am not fat, in fact most people say i look built. But, i know the truth, i look good, but i can be better.
Hell yeah.
Looking at my last post, it seems a little naive. I still drink... duh duh duuuuhhhhhhh!
But, i do it in moderation. I think i will obviously one day succumb and drift back into it, but i will tell you something, i'm gona try my damndest to stop that ever happening!
Life, it's been pretty cruel lately. since i quit my last job, i have found it hard to get back into work. But, i still try. Who knows what is around the corner.
It sucks though, I have always been the nice guy doing people favors and doing work for family members etc. Like recently, i did my brother a lootttt of favors doin work for him, puttin a hell of a lot of time and energy into getting his business up and running. But, when i ask them (him) to pay me what they pay others (have paid others in the past) for the same work, they fuck me over and dont pay me anything. What can i do? It's family and i tell you something i'll never risk relationships with my nephews and nieces over something as paltry as money. If i wanna see them again, i unfortunately have to put this behind me. it hurts, but i love them like they're my own kids........
Since my last post, the major thing that has affected my life is i am no longer with my girlfriend of seven years :( it didnt work out, i don't know what to think of it. I don't want to go into it in any detail, but in all honesty, I can't think of a more influential couple of months in my life in the last six or seven years.
So much has changed. I don't even care about things like poker anymore. In a way, i feel awakened. I want to better myself, get in shape and be successful. It's like being in limbo sometimes, i can't understand the things going on around me. I find myself questioning everything, my religion, my faith, my family, my life, my future. I don't fear silly things like death anymore. DON'T worry, I'm not some weird internet loon looking for attention before killing oneself. Fuck that bullshit, i ain't no selfish fucking coward.
Anyways, back to point, in a way, things look good and bleak at the same time. I'm 25, fuck knows what the fuck is gona be gwaning in the next 25 years, but one things for sure, in the words of ma nigga 2Pac - if i'm still living, ima be straight motherfucking balling.
ah well, i dont know where this post was going, i just saw an empty void since the last post and figured i better do something about it.
Like i said earlier tho, im still plodding on...

Time to come clean about my life
It's time i re-evaluated my life. I think i am going to stop drinking altogether and get some help.
ALCOHOLISM
Alcoholism is a rough word to deal with. Yet nobody is too young (or too old) to have trouble with booze. That's because alcoholism is an illness. It can hit anyone. Young, old. Rich, poor. Black, white. And it doesn't matter how long you've been drinking or what you've been drinking. It's what drinking does to you that counts. To help you decide whether you might have a problem with your own drinking, we've prepared these 12 questions. If you can answer yes to any one of these questions, maybe it's time you took a serious look at what your drinking might be doing to you. And, if you do need help or if you'd just like to talk to someone about your drinking, call us. We're in the phone book under Alcoholics Anonymous. If there is no AA service close to you write or phone the General Service Office for Great Britain.
A Simple 12-Question Quiz designed To Help You Decide
Do you drink because you have problems? To face up to stressful situations? NO
Do you drink when you get mad at other people, your friends or parents? NO
Do you often prefer to drink alone, rather than with others? EITHER WAY IS OK WITH ME
Are you starting to get low marks? Are you skiving off work? NOT REALLY
Do you ever try to stop or drink less - and fail? YES
Have you begun to drink in the morning, before school or work? NOT BEFORE SCHOOL/WORK, BUT YES I HAVE IN THE PAST DRANK IN THE MORNING
Do you gulp your drinks as if to satisfy a great thirst? YES
Do you ever have loss of memory due to your drinking? YES
Do you avoid being honest with others about your drinking? YES
Do you ever get into trouble when you are drinking? YES
Do you often get drunk when you drink, even when you do not mean to? YES
Do you think you're big to be able to hold your drink? YES
I feel so sick about this right now. I cannot believe I have let a drug get a hold of me in such a way. I feel so ashamed right now, I don't know what to say. It used to be I would drink and be merry and delude myself that i would quit tomorrow, what's another drink, rite? Just one more, its ok. I have lived in a balloon for so long now, just avoiding the issue and not enjoying life as it should be enjoyed.
I need to get away from this horrible drug.
God help me, because ima need it.

6 max
I played some 6 max games as said in my last post. It was weird at first, because I havent played 6 max for some time and I got stacked 7 times before i settled in and started adjusting to the table dynamics of 6 max games. It was not a promising start to say the least.
Anyways, I seem to be doing ok for now. I have only played a small sample, so its not much to draw conclusions, but over 3100 hands i have been running at 9bb/100. I realise this is not maintainable.
One of the main breakthroughs to move back into the green from the 7 buyin downswing was these three hands. The guy was obviously drunk or a complete fish. But, if you open preflop for 90bbs and I manage to get 3 good hands in 5 minutes, your gonna get your ass handed to you:

I played every hand super stupidly aggresively in a way which is not my usual method.

I fucking love the way i somehow managed to get a call when i flopped quads.

poker poker poker, thats all i talk about
I have been swinging all over the place like a donkeys dick.
I finished last time at 561.05, I then had the following sessions:
561
592
631
573
I think I am getting really bored of playing full ring holdem, albeit 15-20 tables at a time. I seem to want to play every hand lately which is a sign of my boredom and unfortunately its reflecting in my results.
Back when I was multitabling 5nl, I was playing pretty good full ring at 7bb/100 over ~25000 hands. This was a vpip of 8 and pfr of 5.38.
At 10nl I seem to be playing looser with a vpip of 10.5 and a pfr of 5.6 over ~47000 hands. This is a much worse bb/100 of 3.32.
This lack of concentration and stamina at the tables is beginning to worry me as it may affect my results more long term. I am thinking that until i get to 25nl, which I can only do at ~$1250 I may start dabbling in multitabling 6 max games. I know they are much more variance, but they also give quicker results and more effective poker can be played instead of limp limp limp limp, me with aa raise to 4 bbs, fold fold fold fold. Fucking nits. OMG this is the most annoying thing about full ring games ever.
I am thinking to counter the variance, Iam going to start to play at 5 nl again to get a feel for them and to figure out how many I can play profitably simultaneously. The more the better, as i can get more fpps and see more hands. i subsequently cashed out all but 45 buyins at 5nl to do this, leaving me with $225 as a bankroll... :(
Man, thats a lot of poker gibberish.
On the positive side of things, I'm due to finish at my job in two and a half weeks. Fuck you, you corporate bastards, I cant wait to leave.
Also, lol @ this guy taking up a prop bet on 2 plus 2 to work at mcdonalds for 55 hours per week for 52 weeks with no sick days/holidays allowed for $100k. I wonder if i could do that. Could you?

some reasons on why i dont feel too good right now.
I had the following sessions over the last few days
START 639.54
EXHIBIT A- 594
612.87
629.86
649.96
616
649.26
EXHIBIT B- 561.05
EXHIBIT A-LOSING 4.5 BUY INS:
This was a few days ago. it basically amounted to me playing drunk. oh whywhywhy
Exhibit B: (from today)
I just finished at the gym and put in two hours at grinding away and made 2 buy ins of the bat. I was off to a good start. Then i thought ill play some plo. i played at the same levels i play nl hold em at 5c/10c. I lost 11 buy ins through some seriously bad luck. I donked away 2 buy ins, but otherwise the other 9 were pretty brutal, over a period of 2 hours.
I dont feel too good with myself right now. I'm gona sleep on it. I dont wanna see this again. I need to be focusing on grinding nl only, and not donking away at plo, which i know can give some serious rewards, but is hard variance wise. I'm not going to whinge about how i think i get the worst luck.
Also, i need to set some stop losses so i dont tilt away money. maybe 5 buy ins?
i need some time to mull it over. I know i had some bad luck, but i dont wanna dwell on it too much, it happens. I need to move on.
Oh what a sick few days. back to square one....

EXHIBIT A-LOSING 4.5 BUY INS:
This was a few days ago. it basically amounted to me playing drunk. oh whywhywhy
Exhibit B: (from today)
I just finished at the gym and put in two hours at grinding away and made 2 buy ins of the bat. I was off to a good start. Then i thought ill play some plo. i played at the same levels i play nl hold em at 5c/10c. I lost 11 buy ins through some seriously bad luck. I donked away 2 buy ins, but otherwise the other 9 were pretty brutal, over a period of 2 hours.

i have lost the urge to play, but i seem to be progressing quite well
lol @ title being too long. After the last post, i did not cash in the 200k, but the million had interesting results. I didnt make it through, but 2 others did. one of these then cashed for 2.5 k, which netted me a $43 return, a profit of $20! Definitely will be doing this again this sunday.
Anyways, from the cash front, although i have not been playing very often this week- here are the latest results:
session bankroll
52- 515.24
53- 574.02
54- 622.07
55- 623.1
56- 639.54
I have, according to pokertracker since december, played 25000 hands at 5nl and 34000 hands at 10nl. I have been playing 5nl at 7bb/100 hands and 10nl at 3.80 bb/100 hands. That amounts to roughly 60000 hands in just over a month. I am happy with this volume, but i want to do more, accomplish more, destroy these levels more.
Since i started at the gym again, i have awoken a desire to improve every aspect of my life. This aspect, poker is definitely one of the key improvements that need to be made. For example, i just got back from the gym tonight and i am having a drink, I will be playing a little poker, but i will be playing 0.2/0.5 pl omaha 8, which is a relatively low variance game if playing when tipsy. This is definitely an improvement on playing 0.5/1 nl holdem drunk.
I seem to have lost the urge to play, due to lack of sleep. I need sleep. Work is exhauting and the gym takes any extra energy out of me. I cant wait til sunday to sleep in as long as i want. mmmmmmmmmmm, donuts, i mean, its making me drool

Updates galore(?!)
I have had a few good sessions since the last batch:
35 359.49
36 380.34
37 402.49
38 381
39 388.26
40 385
41 423.27
42 435.22
43 429
44 440.12
45 473.87
46 439
47 460
48 484.92
49 53.07
50 545
51 530
I am still playing 5c/10c. So, I have managed to chip up to 53 buy ins. But, since its Sunday, I am playing two tourneys today. Since I started this cash game sortie, I have not bothered with tourneys much, because I have been so busy, I have had no time to give to possible 8 hour tourneys. But, on Sundays I play at least the 200k, $10 buy in on stars. I have min cashed in these the last two weeks for ~$30. Tonight, I’ll play again to try to get that 25k first prize! Yummy.
The second tourney will be hopefully the Sunday million on stars in a joint effort as it is with some fellow pocketfivers. The plan is as follows (cross posted from p5s):
Here is how it will work.
1. I will pick an $11 Hyper-Turbo Double Shootout (we will flood this - should be full which means 5 seats).
TOURNEY 133117667 at 15:05 PM EST (look for me - RobDaBank - in the lobby)
2. Sign up for that tourney and signify your participation by posting in this thread (post your screen name on Stars).
3. Everyone who wins a seat into the Sunday Million through this event MUST PLAY TODAY.
4. Everyone who participates gets their share of 50% of the winnings of every player that qualifies into the Sunday Million.
Example: Say we get 20 people to participate and 3 people get into the Sunday Million. Whoever gets into the event keeps their original $11 entry fee plus half of their winnings from the Sunday Million. The rest goes into a pool and is split equally amongst all 20 participants. So say YOU get in and win $500 - YOU keep $261 ($250 + $11), the other $239 goes into the pot and is split $11.95 for all 20 (so yes, YOU get an extra share - but the math is just easier this way).
Any cashers in the Sunday Million will be responsible for transferring their winnings to the other players - I WILL NOT HOLD MONIES OR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T PAY. I will let you know who to transfer to and how much after the event is over.
Watch for UPDATES in this thread - I will track the participants and winners below.
Good luck everyone.
I was in this last week, but no one got through to the million. Hopefully, this time someone will, so even if I don’t cash, I will make a profit.
Here’s to a wonderful Sunday!!!!!
And, to another drink too!

the lonnnggggg grind (and happy new year!!!!)
So what happened with the previous post's plan? My car fucked up and I had to fork out all the cash i had to fix it. Man, what a headache, every other week, the car was fucking up, then i fixed it and it then proceeded to fail its MOT. So, BAM- bankroll gone to get that sorted :(
Anyways, since the last post i have had a lot of positive things happening in my life, for the most part. As you might have noticed, i now have a car, cos i passed my test! After failing four fucking times, i finally got there! Then, i joined a gym and have been working out every day, getting fit again. It makes such a big difference when you have positive things in your life. i also stopped hanging out with this friend of mine who i have known all my life, but he is a bit of a leech/ put you down to make himself feel good. that was def a positive step.
Other things in my life, i handed in my notice at the job i do, which i hate so fucking much. that was good. only one month to work, then bam I'm on the unemployed line. its weird, i have no job to go to, but life is about happiness and to put up with BS like the job i was in was just plain stupid. i have enough money, plus overdraft for two months living. so, i hope "fear" chandler was on about in friends hits soon. fuck, i hope it works out.
anyways, the pokahs.
I deposited 50.62 a couple weeks ago and have been twenty tabling 2c/5c 9 handed games in sessions of about 1.5-2.5 hours at a time. the results are as follows:
SESSION BANKROLL
0- 50.62
1- 36
2- 83.77
3- 121.95
4- 141.43
5- 191
6- 178.75
7- 202
8- 213.27
9- 207.95
10- 222.29
11- 201
12- 207.65
13- 227.78
14- 236.02
15- 215.54
16- 209
17- 254.29
18- 231
19- 261.38
20- 316.25
21- 332.79
22- 375.72
23- 395
24- 419.26
25- 380
26- 425
I then started playing 5c/10c- same shit, 20 tabling for the same amount of time, but i seem to have hit a wall of variance. i keep chipping up, but when the money goes in, i get sucked out on. so many, i cant remember-that's the thing with 20 tabling, you move on to the next hand/beat pretty quick, which i suppose is a good thing! anyways, the results for this is :
SESSION BANKROLL
27- 376
28- 392
29- 379
30- 405.04
31- 407.89
32- 416.39
33- 398.59
34- 372.24
Well, I'm going to get back on it. on the plus side, at least i managed to hit silver status on pokerstars!

not long now
hey there, not posted for a while. i havent been up to much, just the usual gettin stoned pissed n fuking about like a dosser. god know how i still got a job, i dont do my job properly, am barely on time and abuse the fuk outta the trust of my managers, by surfing the net all the time while at work and not doing anything.
my my that was weird saying that out loud...
anyways, 3 weeks until i can play on stars and tilt again. I got £150 waiting for tilt and £200 for stars. hopefully this time i can make something of it. gonna def try to stick to bankroll management this time, in fact uber bankroll management. with the fuked up pound at the moment, i get about 1.5 dollars to a pound (this is compared to a time when i got 2.05 dollars to every pound back in 2005/2004 when i started this shit). so with that as a guidance, i will have $225 on tilt and $300 on stars. im gonna play only 0.05/0.10 nl/pl and go up from there. so a total of 52.25 buyins, so if i stick to it i shud not fuk it up...
the plus side to the above is that if the pound recovers in the next three weeks, i get more dollars to play with, so ffs either british economy recover or american economy fuk up (see what a selfish and prob clueless(?) prik i am??? lol)
anyways it was just a quick post, when i am back i will try to post more, if no 1 reads it then at least writing is therapeutic as my gal always says

some thoughts
so, ok, im gona play a game with you. only, you dont do anything, you just listen to what i have to say. the catch is i have to be honest, even if it hurts.
what have i done that makes me wanna write this?
i made and lost $860 in less than one hour.
how did that happen?
i read on pocketfives of a poker site giving $200 free to people who deposit $100. i deposited $100 and got my $200 free.
what happened then? cos that sounds pretty good.
i played some poker and made about $120. i then played some roulette...
Sigh, i think i know where this is headed... did you lose it?
yes and no. i ran it up to $860 and then lost all of it in less than ten minutes, except for $110, which i cashed out promptly.
oh, ok so you didnt lose it all?
no, well yeah but no but. i made a raise to $860 and was bankrolled for some serious poker. this was the plan. i then got an itch and the next thing you know, im chasing my money and bosh, i feel like i was gutted by freddie kruger.
that sounds like you lost it all. are you just trying to sugar coat things so you dont feel like a prik tomorrow?
darnit, you bastard, stop reading me like tha dikhed i am. i lost all my profits chasing a pipe dream. i told my girlfriend and she thought i was a fukin idiot, a chaser. chasing pipe dreams, esp since in the worst case scenario, i cuda used the money for a good poker bankroll. i suk
on the plus side you made $10...
oh shut the fuk up already
i think what i need to do now is totally detox off this shit. im going travelling around the world in march 2009, so i need some money. i cant gamble what i make at work away like this. i need to get a solid saving plan togetha and make some dollars for the trip.
i uninstalled all poker software, only leaving tilt and stars to rail some of the high stakes games until november, when im back.
in the meantime, if you feel like your not a prik like me and want to play some SENSIBLE poker, feel free to get the rakeback at the top of the page by clicking the banner.

i had my tooth out
i had a wisdom tooth out yesterday, it was a short and painless procedure. going in i was dreading it after reading the procedure on the net. i went in and the lady took an x-ray and showed me the tooth. she was like this is in a weird position, it may take up to 40 mins of drilling etc to remove it as the root was curved lol. i nearly diarrhoead all over the floor right there. but when we got in, she pulled it out easily and only drilled for like 4 secs to remove the small bit left. i was happy it was over, trust me i had my fingers crossed the whole time going "please come out in one go, pleaseeeeee". i ran good in life at that point, as the lady let me off from having to pay for the operation, as i had paid for the check up, so i saved myself about £70/$140.
poker? who needs it. i blew thru that $400 i said i was going to give myself. i suk so bad right now, and since i dont want to be a whining little bitch like i was in the last post, im not going to play for a bit. all i can say is i got my money in good about 80% of the time where i am at least 50% to win and yet have no money left. the definition of running bad...
the thing is i banned myself from stars and ftp in may for 6 months. i want to play there again, there is soooo much more game selection, which is a crucial aspect of profitable play. at the moment im playing against the same small pool of players on littlewoods and an even smaller one on poker heaven and poker nordica. this is only for omaha, as the hold em games have a few more. but this definitely hurts me financially as it is harder to bluff at them, and they all play like tight little bitches.
anyways, im not going to deposit anymore money until the 6 months is up, ie mid november, when ill give myself a pokerstars and fulltilt roll, maybe $800 i dont know. but i do have rakeback coming next month of at least $200. ill play with that, if i lose it, tough shit i wait till november.
so on a brighter note, i am going to wales wit ma gal for a few nights today, then im gonna stay wit her for a few days at her moms. we have rented out a cottage in the welsh mountains, it should be fun. i need it, i need a break away from shit. this is only a short post, i have to go soon and am yet to pack.
anyway off to the welshies we go........

the reason i showed this hand is because i thought i played it well, albeit out of position. the guy who i was heads up against was playing pretty loose and aggressive, and i thought i could outplay him...
then this mammoth of a hand to end tha night, cos i suk and my life suks and these motherfukas keep hitting against me. the thing i have not showed is the other pots tonite where i have had the follwing hand played out, i have lost in plo all in preflop with aces against kings three times tonight all for $100+ pots. this one was for $400 ish. this is so gayyyyyyyyyyyyy

just a quick blog
I am going to be busy for the next few days with my gal. Then I got a wisdom tooth extraction, then another week with gal. So will blog after this in two weeks. Just wanted to give an update on my exploits lol.
Where to begin??? I suck at degeneracy and life and being a non degenerate.
I left £50 on Littlewoods and blew it. Then I deposited £100 on poker Nordica and played steady poker for 5 hours to make £100 and then I blew all £200 of it on roulette. then,
then,then I sucked even worse, cos they gave me $32 free on rake back. so I put that on roulette and ran it up to $450ish in five mins. I then lost it in less than five mins. so, its obv I suck, so what do I do? I deposit another $300 and play some poker. I double up on two tables pretty quick and get up to 590ish. I go out to do some grocery shopping and get back. I cash out 350 and put the rest on 0.5/1.0 and 1-2 tables, with about 100 on each. I lose this to a cunt who went all in when I raised with kk and I called. he had k9 and hit trips. his excuse? "sorry, tilt lol" motherfucker.
so I am still on the 0.5/1.0 table and get it all in with an open ended straight flush draw versus an overpair and he obv hits runner runner trips of the flop to boat on the river. at this point I’m like fuk it, I’m gona play some roulette. I reverse the cash out and bang $50 on a table and quickly run it up to $600 ish in about ten mins, covering 40% of tha board. I am feeling pretty good now, I have about $800 and am sitting pretty. what followed was what they call variance, or in other words, fuk the blogger in the ass and make him miss 11 spins in a row. I lost the lot and to rub it in when I was down to $40, I repeated bet and it repeats the bet you had previously. I always have about $10 on number 21. I don’t know why, I just like that number. so anyways, when I click repeat bet, it says insufficient funds for the $55 ish bet and fills the board till the money runs out, conveniently missing out number 21. what comes out?
TWENTY FUCKING ONE
so I’m like whatever. this is bullshit. I can’t be wasting poker money on roulette like this. I sent all poker sites an email to ban all casino shit on my acc. if they refuse, I’m going to have that site shut my acc down. I know I am up a couple hundred quid in the casino department in the last week or two, but fuck it, they aint having none of it back. instead I’m gona donate it to the kind poker community via being a dumb lil fishy lool.
what’s even funnier, when I was playing roulette, I had a tequila miniature bottle, I downed it and got this thing in my mouth, it felt soft, yet firm. at that moment it dawned on me, the dumb bastads at Monte Alban like to make their tequila the traditional way and slap a big juicy maggot at the bottom of their miniature bottles. I nearly vomited, but instead swallowed the tequila and spat the maggot out.
such is life and such is my fucking bullshit idiocy (if that’s even a word). on a brighter note, my brother became a published fantasy novelist last week. for every dumb thing in the world that happens (i.e. me), some good happens (i.e. not me).
see yawl later bishes!!! :)

LONG TIME NO SEE
wow, i totally forgot i had this blog. i suk at teh remembering lol.
anyways, may june july, now its august and i still havent posted.
what have i been up to lately? i am on the fourth week of phoning in sik to work for a back problem. lol, i dont know where i get these illnesses if ya know what i mean. but tha doctor is thick enough to give me a doctors note, so there it is,i is just chilling. im a little drunk right now, so ill try to be coherent if i can
poker:
what can i say. no seriously what? i have played some in tha last few months, just keeping my head above water n cashing for a couple hundred bucks at a time. but in tha last two weeks, it has been sik.
lets start: i deposited £50 on littlewoods, and over time managed to run it up to £350. i cashed out. then i started to run bad. since i had used all my 350 on boozing, i had to deposit additional funds on some sites. i deposited about £400 and lost it all but £20. i then decided fuk it while high on tha blunt an jack daniels. i slapped that £20 on roulette and ran it up to £1000 roughly lol, covering about half tha board at a time. i had a game plan to keep going until i lost two bets in a row. but i was at £1000 when that happened. i then quit and cashed out. i figured i lost a lot of +ev here though. let me explain why:
when i play roulette, i usually slap some money on tha table n if it loses, i quit. if it wins, i bet 50% of ma winnings on the next bet amd so on so forth. if i had done this, i wuda been up about 50gs. but i lost my nerve and played scared, cos it was tha last of ma money, n that suks, i know, but it happens i guess. i thort whatever, ill bet this money n try hard to make a profit, but i shuda played the way i normally do.
the thing is, i expect to lose a lot of ma roulette winnings when i play (in terms of sessions of roulette), but when it hits n i go on a hot streak, i expect to win loads. this is over my life, not any one period. in the instance above, i lost out on a really good run and gave up an opportunity. such is life i suppose.
anyways, at the moment, i am on littlewoods playing poker, i have made £150 profit so far from my initial deposit a few days ago. i cashed out and am playing on winnings at the moment. i know i know i suk at bankroll management anyways lol. what suks even more is that my heads up play has been suffering lately. in two mtts of about 100 ppl each, i came second. in both, i had a chiplead going into heads up and lost. thats ~$400 of lost money there. that needs to change, and i will be playing some more heads up cash games/tournies to improve here.
i hope i can post this, so i got some update on tingz. but the thing is i lost the login details for this blog, its been so long lol. i gona see what happens.
so what else?
i have put on about a stone and a half since the beginning of this year. i need to lose this. i had my six pack a few years ago and i dont mind losing it, so long as i looked good. but this year has been horrendous, i have put on enough to make me look like i need to lose some weight. the exercise regime starts tomorrow i promise.
its weird, but i gave up tha bud about 6 months ago, apart from some rare occasions. in the last three weeks, i have been getting high every day, apart from yest and today. i decided enough was enough lol, but them was some good times. i think i like the bud a lil too much, nothing better than slapping on a lil pro ev and having a smoke. i suppose if ya was american, youd slap on a lil madden and have a smoke, such diversities lol.
i dont know what else to say really, i chatted shit enough, so ill see yall later. hopefully ill post some betta stuff later
respek (i tink) LOL

K it seems like its not working out at the moment with the whole poker thing. I have decided it is a good idea to take a break from it. If I have any brains, a long break. I busted the whole roll and $400 more I deposited.
Best thing to do is wait for my rake back which is coincidentally about 380 and cash it out to make up for the deposits.
Time to get back to what normal people do.

Where have I been???
So, how’s it going. Long time no see lol.
What a hectic couple of weeks it has been, I haven‘t had any energy to post, so I didn’t. What have I been up to?
Lets start a couple weeks ago, I had been having problems wit my gal, and we fell out. Actually it was more her getting angry at me not listening to her again and getting fuked off with me, screening my calls all that jazz. So, I decided the best way to get over it would be to call in sick at work and go on a five day bender. It didn’t go well, cos I lost most of what I had online playing shitty poker. That sucked so much ass, it was astonishing.
So, what happened with work, they were not happy to say the least, but apparently you can self certificate for five days as sickness leave. I told them I was vomiting, diarrhoea, lol. It was funny really, cos I woke up on Tuesday morning on the first day of the sickness, intending to phone in sick and go in on Wednesday. But, I call in and said I wasn’t feeling well at all, and that I may come in tomorrow. The manager informed me that if I came in the next day and left because I was still feeling ill, it would count as two illness periods. This was bad, cos you can only have I think three before they put you up for a personal development plan. She then told me I could self certificate for five days before needing a doctor’s note and to make sure I was feeling well before I came in. At this point, a light bulb just blew up in my head and I foresaw a break from the work period for free, to just chill for five days. So, I thought fuck it, I ain’t going in for five days lol.
What followed was four days of fuck ups, playing over my bankroll, getting depressed about the bitch (she ain’t one tho really) and drinking. At this point, I lost all but $220ish of my bankroll. A good $1000 I think.
Come the fifth day, I had had enough, and showed up at work, albeit 40 minutes late. I don’t know how they put up with me I really don’t.
Over the next week, I slowly built up my bankroll to $900, till yesterday. Man, I don’t know why I do this shit to myself sometimes. On Sunpoker/little woods, they have these heads up all in flip sit n goes. What that means is that two people register, they go all in automatically every hand and the winner takes the dosh. Yeah, so entered 5 five dollar ones. I won one. I then thought, wtf???? Only one, this shit is not good variance. So I entered loads of $10 ones. I lost a good $100 on them. Then, tilt set in. I found myself playing the $50 ones. I checked, I entered 90, most of which were $20 and $50 ones. It was fucked up, ppl were flopping sets, flopping flushes and full houses, hitting two outers, fuk me. Just playing them, I lost $900. That is some serious bad variance. So, I did what I do best, I deposited $200 more and thought fuk this shit, I aint going down that route.
I went for a walk, had a drink n a cig. I came back, n fucking killed it. I played poker steadily, grinding away at £0.25/0.50 and $0.25/0.50. I played for a good six hours. Dedicated shit. I had my windows media playing all my music at fast speed, listening to real hardcore rap and trance speeded up. I was wrecked as a motherfucker. But, I hunted these motherfuckers down, Tony G style. Take from the poor and give fuck all to the rich. Find the weakest, and fucking annihilate them. At one point I won a buy in off of someone and riled him up, after he gave me some shit in the text box after my AK beat his AQ for his stack. He said he had no money left and he was going to redeposit, so being the bastard I am, n wanting to break even, I followed him for the rest of the night, from table to table. In the end, he would just leave after I sat down next to him. He was not happy, lol. But I stacked him for about five buy ins. That was nice.
A similar thing happened on pokerstars a couple of days ago. I was playing PLO and I noticed this guy called an all in (after pot repot repot yada yada yada) on a 7 high flop (stacking me in the process) with just an overpair. I had top set, nut flush and gutshot draws too. He hit his set and boated on the river. That was horrible. I noted him down as an awful player, and he left. I then searched through all the PLO tables to find him and sat on his left after 10 mins of searching (he was hidden from search, so you can imagine how tedious that was). I stacked him. In the process, some guy comes on in observer chat mouthing off at the same guy I just stacked, saying he wants to play him heads up, he is shit, etc. I thought wtf, this is going to kill my action if they go. So he went, but I followed them and sat on this guys left again. The challenger was not happy to say the least, because he was expecting some heads up action, not a threesome. So we played a couple of hands, which I won, before he offered the other guy another table. So, I promptly follwed them again, doing the same thing lol. This went on twice more, before one of them stopped playing. I stacked the initial prik once more though lol.
Anyways, back to last night. I stuck to just NL holdem and made back the money, about $1100. I cashed out $600, to cover the deposit and some other shit, n left 500 online. I still have 250 left of that, but would have had more. I just carried away, I thought I’m running good, so lets bump up the stakes a little. I bought into a $2-$4 table for 300, n left it with $50 when my top pair was not good enough versus someone who played his bottom two pair very well…
oh yeah, I sorted shit out with the missus and still love her very much. The things she does to me tsl
I’m off now, gonna munch. Its Sunday, n I got shit to not do.

scared poker
Where do I start? Last time I blogged, I was just about to go to play a live tourney. Well, I went to the tourney and busted in 13th. That sucked ass, bad. I only had myself to blame though, I played shit the whole way through and did not make one educated play the whole tourney.
Prime example, the very first hand, I am in the big blind with AK diamonds. I had had a few drinks and was settling in to play a good afternoon of poker. So, after three people limped the hand, I popped it up to four and a half big blinds, just to narrow the field a bit. To my surprise, everyone calls. The flop comes down as 6 9 j two diamonds. So, I check (wtf?) and proceed to call a pot bet from the player in mid position. It is now heads up, as the others folded. The pot stands at about 1500 with blinds of 50/100 (we started with 10000). The turn pairs the 6, no flush for me. I want to play the hand, but I don’t want to be pushed off of the hand by the other player, so I bet 1000. He calls. The river is a beautiful Q of diamonds, giving me my flush, but the board is paired and I have had a few too many. So, I check (like a fucking pussy, wtf).
This is my stupid (tipsy) thinking here. The board is paired, I know he will bet, I don’t want to bet to be pushed off the hand and IT’S THE FIRST HAND AND I DON’T WANT TO BE KNOCKED OUT. God, that statement there makes me sick for saying it, but it was true, and I pussied out of a value bet here. That statement sums up my whole tournament, I felt shitty the whole way through. But anyways, back to the hand, LUCKILY he bets more than the pot for 4000, I call. He has AQ. I missed out on a massive pot here, by playing it like a pussy.
I’m not going to describe the rest of my hands in such detail, because to be honest, I feel embarrassed by the way I played them. They all had one thing in common though, they were all played scared. Needless to say though, I got busted out in back to back hands where I lost an all in preflop with KK vrs AJ, where his AJ beat my KK, then I tilted all in with AQ the very next hand, only to be called by k3 and he rivers a full house lol.
This week has been a hectic week at work, I have had crazy shit hours, 8-4 / 9-5 / 11-7 / 12-8. I have had barely enough time to play poker, just a couple of hours here and there. Nothing major, just a couple of wins and a couple of losses. I think I am in the same place roughly that I was in this time last week.
Anyways, time for some breakfast and some poker. I got the weekend off and also Monday.

pla(y)in crazy
It has been a while since I last posted, about a couple of days, or so lol. That’s a long time not to ramble on like a twit!
I had a couple of sick sessions. Sickening I should say actually.
The other day, I played for a couple of hours and came up a winner for $20. Then I played a little the next day for about half an hour and lost $80. Ugh!
I played last night and started with $90 on sun and $80 on pokerstars. I donked away the sunpoker 90 by playing limits outside my roll, by playing 1-2 plo8 and lost it with a monster draw, a flush draw, a nut low draw, a straight draw and a pair. The other guy had 99xx (xx was not low cards btw) and he called all in pot repot for a $300 pot on a board showing two low cards and K. he hit runner runner quads. I was stunned to say the least. I think my laptop should have needed replacing at that point, but I let it go. I was quite inebriated, so it did not bother me that much. Wow.
I then decided to deposit $200 from my offline roll and entered all the head hunter tourneys for the next hour with that for about $130 and put the rest on 1-2 nl. I lost all the head hunter tourneys and proceeded to lose the remaining amount on the cash table. At this point, I was thinking I should stop, seriously, so I did not deposit anymore.
All this was going on while I was playing on stars. I decided to concentrate on stars for the rest of the evening, as I had no more money online and did not want to deposit anymore, for fear of being a twit and donking it away while playing play smashed. So, I sat on a 1-2 nl plo8 game wit the rest of the roll of about $80 and proceeded to turn that into 250 real quick.
I was utg with aa79 not suited and thought you know what, I’m going to fold aces for once and take the money off the table and enter some tourneys. This is a major flaw of mine in plo8 games. That is very simply over valuing aces preflop. The hand had no low draw apart from crappy a7 which cant even be counted really. And it wasn’t even suited. Now, this is the first time I have ever done this ever, folding a disjointed hand in plo8 containing aces. Ppl say u should call at least for set value. But, I don’t know. I guess I was wrong though, because it flopped a top set over someone else’s set and the river was a full house with no quads or low possible. There was action too, so I could have maybe doubled up wit a little extra.
So, anyways, I took the money off the table and entered two $50 freeze outs and a $100 freeze out. They were guarantees I think. I lost in all of them, because I lost focus during them and suddenly became very loose in my play and a calling station to obvious river value bets. I knew what was going on, but I didn’t care at this point. <-----this right here, is why you should not drink when playing tourneys, or any game of value, with the exception of penny tables.
Anyways, that sucked, because I only had about $50 left, and what do you know I put it onto a plo8 nl table again and lost by going all in preflop, when I hazily saw aa through my bloodshot eyes and lost to someone hitting Broadway on the turn.
This gave me a losing session of about $370. That is a really bad hit to my bankroll, esp since I cashed out some of my bankroll to pay for a few things. Also, to pay for later today, when I go to a live tourney. The buy in is $60 and drinks obv :) so about $100. the tourney should be fun, but it is a little mundane, it usually has about 60 entrants, but i have played with as little as 13 and as high as 120 before. i hope it has a high turnout, so the prizepool is bigger.
But, to sum up, I am playing outside my roll, I have forgotten why I started this in the first place, I need to re-evaluate my position and stick to the limits I am used to, such as 0.15/0.25 and maybe 0.25/0.50. I definitely need to do this, or all the hard work will go down the drain.
Right now, the bankroll stands at about $600, with about $400 reserved in case that is lost…
which better not happen for fucks sake

A quiet few days, with a nice score :)
Wow!
I think this pretty much says it all:
Thank you for participating in the tournament "Serial Killers $5K xxxxxxx", on Mar 25 2008 10:28PM GMT. Congratulations! You placed 1st and won 777.00 USD standard prize and collected 274.24 USD in Heads !
I just took down that ^^^^^ mtt for $1055 dollars total on sun poker. It was a head hunter tourney for $25+2 with 222 entrants. Im so chuffed right now, I cant think straight lol.
I won $777 for first, and the rest was bounties. Wow. I think I played it well and controlled. I thought through every move, and when it final tabled, I thought yes, fuk this. Im having this. Im having this first prize. And I waited, and played back well when needed and boom! I won it.
Its been a good few days since I last posted, with one other final table last night on sun poker for $120 (out in 8th). That was only a $5 tourney though. I hardly play mtts, mostly cash games, but I like to keep one or two open on the side, cos they need much less thought at the beginning. But, its cool to have a good score to add to the bankroll.
I also made a stupid mistake. i knew i had work today, but last night i entered the $5 rebuy. i amassed a stack of 85000ish and then i realised i got about 5 hours till work. so wtf am i supposed to do? i thought fuk it, i got ma buy in back, ill just go all in repeatedly to get a massive stack luckily or go bust, so i can get some sleep before work. it worked, i got to 135000. i should have sat out at this point if i had no intention of playing, because i could have moved up the pay ladder by folding or sitting out and going to bed. but instead i ended up losing most of my stack to a fellow p5er, who ended up winning the thing, i saw when i woke up. lol donkaments, but donkaments good enough for ~$50.
I saw my gal over the weekend, and played on pokerstars a little. But i didnt play much poker apart from that, i just spent some quality time wit the missus. It was much needed, work and poker, wit much too little time for my friends right now, I needed the breath of fresh air that she is.
I pretty much also organised my poker bankroll properly and wow. Yeah, I realised before today that my bankroll, albeit for a few cashouts for ~$800 was actually ~$1000. Now, it is over $2000. That’s such a good feeling, knowing that I have made that from basically nothing.
I don’t know what else to say, except
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A nice little tourney result
So, I started the day agitated after a longgggggg day at work. I wanted to play a decent prize pool tourney, so I thought I would take a shot in a £20/$40 head hunter tourney with 120 entrants, on the condition that I won enough on the cash game tables in profit to pay for it. So, that took half an hour and I got in.
On the first hand, it folded to the sb when I was bb. I have akhh. He calls the blind, I go all in (why not? lol), he calls wit a7, I double up on the very first hand and collect £8 back in bounties.
An hour later, I nearly get knocked out when my set of 66 was less than someone wit a set of 1010 on a 10 6 2 flop. I am left with 2bbs. I go all in wit J5 of diamonds utg and get doubled up by 7 people lol, when I hit the jack on the flop and someone moves all in on flop scaring everyone away wit bottom pair-phew! They really wanted my bounty.
From that point onwards, I never let my stack fall down to a crappy point again, I stole and restole at almost every perfect moment, and got lucky only once when I needed to at the final table once, when I made a move preflop wit a7 vs. ak. River was 7, wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
At one point on the final table with 3 people lefrt, I had 60% of the chips in play, but got unlucky against the eventual winner, when I raised with k10, he called, flop was k10x. He goes all in and I call. He has AQ, the river was the J. sik. That was three handed as well and made him chip leader. The other guy got knocked out by the eventual winner when he called all in with a8 against his kk and flopped an ace, lol donkaments.
So, I finished 2nd, (jj less than A10 offsuit all in preflop-he loves them fukin shitty aces lol) and collected £125 worth of bounties and £250 for second place! that’s a nice bankroll builder right there!
First place would have been an extra £200, but such is life. Hurray for taking shots. It does work out sometimes.
Thank you for participating in the tournament "HeadHunter £2.5K GTD 6736870", on Mar 20 2008 12:09AM GMT. Congratulations! You placed 2nd and won 250.00 GBP standard prize and collected 125.92 GBP in Heads !
Onwards and Upwards as they say!

A little bit of good, A little bit if bad.
So, I have been on the bad end of a streak lately. I have had the worst luck anyone has ever seen. I have heard of PLO swings before, and how they are so much worse than hold em swings. But wow, I got it good. But, I been playing steadily, tempted to smash my mouse loads. Wow, I can see why so many old poker players are either bald or fat. Cos of the stress. Cos when you are running bad, you want to hurt someone.
There was one thing I remembered from previous bad swings, and that is that when it all blows over, you always wonder, wtf was that all about. Why the fuk was I moaning like a little bitch????
I have had a bad run, but I have not lost as much as I should. When I had put £200 back in, I went down to £30, then up to £110. I only don’t care about it that much because I have bonuses and rake back to make lol.
Oh yeah, I opened a sun poker acc, thinking ill play for the bonus money, but then I lost my first deposit. So I redeposited and made some back.
I feel weird when It comes to poker, I feel numb. I don’t know how to explain it, but I finally feel after all them bad beats, that I am ready to grind away again. I don’t know what went through my mind. At one point, I had £30 on a table, and it was raised and I was tilting. I reraised and raiser called. Flop didn’t even pair me because I had j3 off suit. I checked, he bet £1 into £2 pot, I went all in for £28ish lol. I suk
anyways, i am going for a drink. so catch ya later. i gota be light on it tho, cos the bastards at work have got me doing a shift at 8 tomorrow morning. the bastards, making me work a weekend. the only good thing is that it finishes at one...

A post I made at Full Contact Poker
I made the following post on a forum online. I think it shows how I have been playing lately:
I been playing plo recently, grinding away for ages, making a half buy in here, n a buy in there. lately though (last night and today), i find myself raising every pot in every position and i cant help myself, cos ppl are trapping me left right and centre. but i cant help myself, i need to raise. i see some twit limp and i think i wana punish him n make him cry when i raise pot n he sees that he aint getting shit for free. but then, bam, they trapping me again. then i reload, n repot as usual. after losing three/ four/ i forget buyins earlier today, i had to physically slap myself n register for some sit n goes to get my mind off of it.but i just wana play a plo game again and raise and reraise and reraise. i like raising. and it has cost me a quarter my bankroll yesterday n today. someone talk some sense into me. i am going to play only holdem for a few days, but i feel it calling. and if it aint PLO, i want to play PLO8 and do the same thing. and if that is not good enough, i want to play some limit hold em and do the same thing, raise raise raise, i just got this urge. i cant help it, its like a scratch and it wont go away. it just itches me, and i know i can make money if i play sensibly, but i don’t want to, i just want to suck out on someone and just laugh at their misery, and just i don’t know, just i want to scream you ****ing donkey, you ****ing fish in the chat box. wtf is wrong wit me
Then I had the following replies, which were quite good and represent points I need to take on board:
I definitely understand the feeling of wanting to punish bad players so bad that you try to do it with hands that can get you in trouble. In the back of my mind I used to think those stupid fucking donks don't know how to play and they should just hand me their money because I'm better and I deserve it...but if you try to force it when you shouldn't then you're giving up your advantage over them and giving THEM an advantage over you. How stupid is that. Just don't do it. You have to have self control or you shouldn't be playing poker. I still find myself slipping into that stupid state of mind occasionally, but its happening less than it used to.
Honestly I think this happens to some degree in a lot of people that play plo, you get out of control and play way too aggro trying to pick up the dead money. It works it some games but if your playing against opponents who are paying attention you become exploitable. To make it work just raise premium hands in early position and you can raise a lot more from latish position and rarely if ever out of the blinds unless you are 3 betting with a big hand. Don't auto c-bet pick flops that are dry or that are good for you and give up on flops that look dangerous multiway. And if there are a lot of shortstackers than you have to slow down a lot and you cant push people around, only in deep games does this usually work. I DIDN’T AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH THIS POST, AS IT IS A LITTLE PACIFIED FOR PLO.
Remember, in poker, the biggest mistake a lot of mediocre players make is that they play to win the most pots. People who understand the game play this game to win the most money. There is a big difference. DEFINITELY THE BEST ADVICE OUT OF ALL OF THEM
They are going to keep trapping you as long as you keep raising and raising. Think about it. If I know I have an action player behind me I can let them bet hands for me. I'll let them think they are in control and then just come up and pop them in the mouth. Mix it up. Stop doing the same thing all the time. It's just way too easy for your opponents to play against the same style...not matter what the style. ALSO GOOD ADVICE
SOME GOOD POINTS. THANKS GUYS AT FCP…

Later that night, about two hours later
i wrote this last night and some today after work:
Yeh, I busted what i had on littlewoods lol. I know, I know, I should never play when I am running bad. But, I did, and I lost. I need to be a bankroll nit now and stop fucking around. I think cos I had a little left in the account and had cashed out like five/six times as much, I subconsciously thought who cares if I lose it, I can always reload. Well, I did lose it and I will be reloading. And it don’t feel too good. This shit IS NEVER HAPPENING AGAIN. Strictly bidness, strictly bidness from now on. I aint going to whine about the bad beats, cos they came fast and thick, trust me. i was a favourite in nearly every hand i potted on the flop. i lost all of them. boom! gone. Fuk. Fuk, fuk. My main problem was, for the first time in absolute ages, i tilted and i tilted bad. i played 0.5/1.0 PLO, even though i know fully well it is wayyyyy above my bankroll and i should not be playing at that level yet.
so, i did and i lost what would have been 6 buy ins for the usual level i play at (i managed to turn that $90 into $150 after last post), by taking my whole bankroll (online one) to the HILO PLO8 games 0.5/1.0. i gave money away where i should not have and i chased stupid draws and felt rushed the entire time.
i played stupid and i know my mistake. i know everyone tilts at times, but i don’t want this shit to happen again, cos it is very simply a charity for all the sharks out there, who aint doing anything charitable wit my money that i was freely donating to them. That feels awful, cos i know they felt exactly the same way i do when i see someone losing, they saw the dollars and pounced.
Ok, so I need to relax… What now? I checked and i have at least £60-70 rake back earned this month, so maybe i will wait for that to come at the beginning of next month (ugh! that’s nearly a month away)and then play wit just that, or i could deposit and grind away to clear what i have left to get my free £50 bonus, while also building up the rake back. I probably will deposit £100-150 in a couple days or so.i don’t know, im gona sleep and go work tomorrow, probably decide by then. this shit sucks, i promise the next post i make will be more positive. sorry for being such a bore today, no one likes someone moaning about bad beats. but that’s poker for u...
A LITTLE LATER:
Well, i came to a decision. i put aside £200/$400 from the money i cashed out and that is my new roll. i am forgetting whatever i made earlier and i am going to start afresh. i have deposited this into an ewallet of sorts and will keep it for whenever i play poker on any site. i deposited $180 back onto littlewoods already and the rest will stay in my ewallet. i wont be cashing out anything anymore until i am loaded. if i cash out, it will only be to my ewallet and not "cashed out as it is". this way, my roll will always be online and i wont be intermingling wit my bank accounts, ruining my statements wit weird stuff. i also decided i will keep about ten buyins on any site at any time. also, any bonuses will be cashed out to this ewallet to add to my total poker balance, so any money i have on any site will reflect what i have earnt, not bonus whored.
this shit is good, cos i am approaching playing poker with some order. im gona play now and next time i feel tilted, im gona read this post and realise what an ass i am. THATS RIGHT, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THEN STOP PLAYING, COS ITS GONA FUK EVERYTHING UP. AND YOU DONT WANNA GO THROUGH THAT SHIT AGAIN! YOU FUKING DUMB PRICK, LOG OFF AND CHILL OUT, GO HAVE A DRINK OR SUMMAT.

Ok, so I need to relax… What now? I checked and i have at least £60-70 rake back earned this month, so maybe i will wait for that to come at the beginning of next month (ugh! that’s nearly a month away)and then play wit just that, or i could deposit and grind away to clear what i have left to get my free £50 bonus, while also building up the rake back. I probably will deposit £100-150 in a couple days or so.i don’t know, im gona sleep and go work tomorrow, probably decide by then. this shit sucks, i promise the next post i make will be more positive. sorry for being such a bore today, no one likes someone moaning about bad beats. but that’s poker for u...
A LITTLE LATER:
Well, i came to a decision. i put aside £200/$400 from the money i cashed out and that is my new roll. i am forgetting whatever i made earlier and i am going to start afresh. i have deposited this into an ewallet of sorts and will keep it for whenever i play poker on any site. i deposited $180 back onto littlewoods already and the rest will stay in my ewallet. i wont be cashing out anything anymore until i am loaded. if i cash out, it will only be to my ewallet and not "cashed out as it is". this way, my roll will always be online and i wont be intermingling wit my bank accounts, ruining my statements wit weird stuff. i also decided i will keep about ten buyins on any site at any time. also, any bonuses will be cashed out to this ewallet to add to my total poker balance, so any money i have on any site will reflect what i have earnt, not bonus whored.
this shit is good, cos i am approaching playing poker with some order. im gona play now and next time i feel tilted, im gona read this post and realise what an ass i am. THATS RIGHT, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THEN STOP PLAYING, COS ITS GONA FUK EVERYTHING UP. AND YOU DONT WANNA GO THROUGH THAT SHIT AGAIN! YOU FUKING DUMB PRICK, LOG OFF AND CHILL OUT, GO HAVE A DRINK OR SUMMAT.

an unreal downswing at PLO
Wow, when variance sticks one up your ass it doesn’t take no for an answer. I just had the worst PLO downswing I have had so far. I lost 6 buy ins in two hours. I have made £661/$1300 profit since I started a month ago wit that $30, by playing mainly PLO 0.15/0.25, but I have cashed almost all of it out. I feel naked now wit hardly any bankroll. I am not going to cash out anything for a couple of months now, unless I need to move money to another poker site, e.g. pokerstars when I am un-banned on the 17th march (I self excluded myself for 2 months after playing too much).
One hand played was on a board of hrt, hrt, diamnd, diamnd (no pair or straight out there). I had nut flush draw of one and third nut flush draw of other, wit two pair already made. Guy rivers case non hrt or diamnd ace to hit his set and win two buyins off of me. All the money went in on turn. Sheesh!
Others were same, couple I was ahead, couple I was dominated. I had outs though.
I had a bankroll of £125/$250 earlier today, now I have $90. I am going to play smaller stakes now (is there even such a thing????) at nl hold em until I get ma bankroll up or until I feel confident again. I may shortstack plo as well, although I dunno.
Wish me luck, cos I suk bad at poker right now

This was a plo8 hand. What a fukin killjoy it was, because when I looked up my hand on p5s card calculator, not only did I see what a stupid dumb ass I was, but I saw that I put myself in a spot where half my stack was going in as a 75% favourite TO LOSE THE HAND FOR BOTH HI AND LO PARTS!
So, not only did I call wit a shit plo8 hand in shit position, I put half of my hard earned 3.5 BUY IN stack at risk as a 75% favourite to lose the whole hand, and only a 17% favourite to win the high, with absolutely no chance of winning the low. Why do I do this to myself???
I SUK SO BAD RIGHT NOW.
Maybe I would run better if I stopped calling other players cunts and motherfuckers in the hand histories

one sik beat and a bluff
What a long Saturday, I played 12+ hours to lose £20. Then, come Sunday morning a few hours ago, I ran into these two hands, one beat and one hand where I bluffed quite well I thought.
This hand was particularly hard to stomach. I was sure I was a favourite going in on the flop. It sucks having to lose to a fish, cos I cant hit ffs.

Turns out I was 65.69% on the flop. I knew it was more than 50% if he had the motherfukin set, which he didn’t even have lol, because I had the pair and the near complete wrap. Even on the turn, I was 42.66% to win. Obv on the river I was 0% lol. The fuked up thing is I was up one buy in at the time because this guy couldn’t fold kings before. That was a sik beat for $60 tsk. You may say wtf he was ahead, he had a higher pair. but, nah fuk that, this shoulda been mine. he had too many cards to avoid. i had two backdoor flushes too.
But then this beauty on another table, to bring ma confidence right back up.

I made a pot bet preflop and on the flop as in representing a strong hand, maybe aces and hitting my set/two pair. Then I checked on the turn cos im worried about the flush and I want to pair up. Then the pot on the river because I paired up and im going to get paid off!!! He folded his mid flush obv.

Hungry for tha money!
Yeah, so what have I been doing the last couple of days? I been working, but I have the weekend off! I have put in some hours in the evenings and made about £50 the last couple of days. I cashed out £100, cos I needed it for something, so I have a bankroll of about £105. Workable, i got the whole weekend to grind away and make some dollars, also clear this bonus on little woods.
I woke up early today, about half five, cos im used to getting up early cos of work and couldn’t sleep.
I tried an experiment. I thought I would try and improve my flop and post flop play and also concentrate a little more on “trying to sell my story” as it is to the other players. So I played some £0.03/£0.06 nl lol. I don’t usually play this, but thought why not. I loaded up for £3 and raised every hand preflop in position and out of position. I also min raised every hand preflop if someone else had raised before me.
It was a lot of fun and it got to the point where I was winning at least 75% of hands dealt, just by using bets to see if the other person had a hand or not and seeing if I could get them off it. I lost a buy in all in preflop wit aces which were cracked. But then I was at it again after reloading £3. But alas, I lost that too, all in preflop wit ak against qq. I didn’t mind tho, cos it was good to see what I could get away with. If I had not lost preflop wit them two hands, I would have been up at least three buy ins. So, definitely something to remember there.
I am definitely ready to play poker this weekend. I definitely feel like grinding away all day, so gonna take a shit, eat some breakfast (not together mind you lol) and get to it.
