im playing tons lately, most ive played in a week so far. Shame its all losing/breakeven :(. Its not even bad beats either, its just coolers, including flush<flush, top 2< gutshot vs calling station, JJ<QQ against an aggro player.

Still am yet to tilt though, skadoosh, and might even show a slight profit at end of week.

damage control ftw! :)

if your right hand is causing you pain, cut it off, cut it off
if your colours are starting to run, let them all run, run away

also im eagerly awaiting Chuck's post coach results

wheee, I love bluffing calling stations and getting sucked out on KK < 88 AIPF and missing just about every combo draw possible (one was even to a worse combo draw that hit a pair :(). Was down 1k today at one point, up to -600 now. Gonna play a bit more than go play in a $5 rebuy at school here. Apparently kid here at school who is on CC, not sure how much he posts, but we've been talking a bit and basically we're just gonna go over and run the shit over since the rest of the people are all gonna be playing scared/weak-tight lol. Plus I'm running kinda bad and need to go blow a ton of buy-ins doing crazy shit without it actually significantly affecting me monetarily lol.

Oh, it was awesome. I was expecting to split my two hours into two different days, but we both kind of ranted and spent the whole 2hrs in one day instead.

He basically started off talking about my general game after taking a look at my database before the session. He said my preflop game was really strong and that we wouldn't spend too much time on stuff like positional play etc.

I played like 2-4 tables for about 1.5 hrs where we talked about general pf play (opening sizes from different positions, 3betting, squeezing, 4betting, floating, everything else) and cut ourselves off any time there was an interesting hand to talk about it. I played that QQ hand (folding top set wtf) during the session, we both laughed it off.

After that was done we shut the tables down, and he talked about his hud layout and what the thresholds were for 'hi' and 'low' (like ch-r %s with <~%8 being low and >%12 being high for ex), and how he uses them in certain situations. Although I use most stats he talked about I still found that part extremely helpful, and am going to go over the video of the session to write down each stat and it's thresholds.

Then he talked about his progression as a player and how he overcame his mental roadblocks. I could swear his story is almost exactly like mine, but just multiply the stakes by 10. Hopefully I end up where he is.

Anyways, it was a 10/10 for me, and I'm going to book another few sessions in the near future. A+++++++

He charged me 200/hr and is increasing his hourly rate to 225 soon (making his way to 300/hr in the coming year he says) - I think he said if I buy more hours this month it'll be 200/hr still.

Yeah, he's definitely clearing some stuff up for me. He's basically just laying out what perfect pf play is for me, and without getting too far ahead of myself, it seems like I'm well on my way. Postflop stuff will be a lot more complicated and will take tons more sessions to get down fully.

I can't possibly guesstimate how much he's increased my table winrate, but I can say the money I payed for him is well worth it.

Well I am off to an awesome December and it is only going to get better. That win in the CC freeroll on Full Tilt gave me a big confidence and bankroll boost on Full Tilt.

I have been playing less poker, but definitely higher quality. My OPR stats are here . I have already doubled my BR at Full Tilt in less than a week.

So after trying them again, I can win at single table sngos now...but the rake nets more than I do. I think I could be a better ring player...but it tilts me even at microstakes, so can't see myself moving up there. Guess I'm waiting for an MTT breakthrough. :dong: sigh, poker. Now, just need to set aside the time to play more of them...

Just a suggestion vanq as I don't know you that well or how you think of sites. Pick the one you like the best and are most comfortable with instead of searching for best rakeback or bonus. Or is that not how you roll ?

Exams = torture..
Although this year it's not so bad, I remember all the material from last year so been studying like not much at all really..

But they've all gone well so far so it's all good.
May need to do more for maths on Monday.

if the games are softer elsewhere, why stars? US players are better than everyone else, so non-US sites can be quite favorable
