Made a deposit to Bodog last night (I had removed all funds when I stopped playing there in Feb 08). I had forgotten just how great it is to play against so many truly horrible players. Typical FR tables were 50%+ VPIP with too many limpers to count. So many people who limp/call/fold to cbet. You can play for stacks with TPTK against a lot of these guys and feel pretty good about it. I played about 200 hands on 4 tables with no HUD (I guess I might have to use HEM there) and ran ~60BB/100.

Good times.

Well, I guess that solves my confusion.
 
without fail someone in this thread always cries incessantly about running bad. (oh, and their EV graph)

i see nothing has changed lol

Sorry...

but i also brag when i'm running good, so it evens out the karma, imo. 😀
 
To even out the karma:

month so far, plus ~1k in rakeback/bonuses, ~3k in live cash winnings ~-1k in live/online tourneys.

i fkcing hate the ppl on my street like going by my house 10000x times on their shitty ass snowmobiles that sound like ****ing iron scrap metal being dragged across a road made of steel... ITS SO LOUD HI CAN U GUYS HEAR ME I CANT HEAR MYSELF RIGHT NOW

god damn it!


should i offer my friend $100 to play 1/2 with if he drives me 1 hour to casino rama? I need out of this house.

its pretty -ev but if he wins he can pay me back or something? if he loses i dont care really. Games are so juicy in the evening it might actually be +ev if I can get there, for a high cost even.

So I can't win at 50nl officially now. I can't even look at the months E.F.D.S. results (Epic Fail Downswing Syndrome) anymore. I feel numb.

You *know* that's not true!


This is quite possibly the single hardest thing to do in the middle of a downswing, but I've been trying to work on never looking at the cashier or a HEM results most of the time during a session. I don't even want to think about it especially if I'm losing, I just want to focus on the next hand.

I do admit I probably look a little more if I'm up and that doesn't really tilt me any, but it *does* mean I'm looking away from the tables at something..which is in and of itself not great.

I know it's not easy but I'd try!



also: incoming pointless post spam!
 
1000!


* I am trying to work on a strategy article to add the collection but it's going to take me a little longer to get it done.. so I'm going on record that it's coming, just not sure when!

Man this site has helped me so much to get to this point in my game!

I added it up and it would be like a $160 cab ride. 😱 😱 😱


oh well at least the goddamn snowmobiles stopped spewing their noise.
 
Congrats on 1K Tygran! Looking forward to the strat post.

Edit: Oh man, just looked at my post count and I'm seriously near 2K. When I hit it, I'm making pancakes for enty! (Damn Belgium's😀)
 
40 left in the $22 rebuy of 531 and this happens. Shame cause I win that and it's top 10 and a very good shot.

Been flirting with some very deep finishes in the last couple of months and aside from the FT in 9th last week in same tourney not managed to get there. My in the money this year is running at a crazy 25% but not in profit on the board (although in reality as I buy in to the $215 tournies with FPPs I'm actually up a bit).

Anyway, getting closer, think I'll win the warmup this week.
