Weird dude

Villain in this case is a 7/5 nit. He tanked and tanked and tanked until the last possible second and called with 66. Weird. Few hands later he opened utg with Q5o or something like that. Wtf?

Golf

Today makes the 3rd week in a row that I play some golf on the weekend. There's a little 9 holes course near my house and I finally found someone who's willing to play golf in a 30'c weather. The only thing different today was I actually walked the 9 holes. Yeah, I walked. By 4th hole I started to regret that I haven't drafted a will and at one point I was actually dizzy and felt like I was about to pass out.

Don't even ask me what my score was. It wasn't pretty. Whatever I can do on a driving range all disappear when I'm on a course.

As far as poker is concerned, fuck poker, fuck weekend games, fuck the fish, nits and regs. Fuck them all. I fucking hate poker.

That's it.

A little update

It's been awhile since I last updated my blog. Not that many of you cares but I'm gonna go back to updating it a little more often.


October wasn't that nice. It was frustrating. Of course it's much better than September but I feel like I should have done better. I'm going thru some growing pain by trying a few different things while I'm working with my new coach. I'm confident this will help in the long run so I'm not worried too much about my result at the moment.

Life has been fine so far. I know some of you care about that. Still single but with this new commitment to more volume and extra time I have to spend on this game, it's gonna be real hard for me to know new girls. Not that I"m that awesome of a guy to begin with, so this will probably not gonna end well for me. I've been thinking about getting my own place, a one bedroom or a studio type place. With the new baby coming in my family it's probably a good idea to move away for now to make sure there's not much distraction for me in the next few months. We'll see.

I don't know if I'll have time to go back to what I used to do. With the daily report and funny hands etc. Hopefully I can do it, I know Tim really wants to read all that shit. Got some new pics too. I'll post them later.

That's it for now.

September 09

September was a bad month for me. Up until a few days ago I was in a 100k hands break even stretch. That's the longest I've been in. I was in plenty of 50k BE stretch but this is my 1st 100k. I guess technically it wasn't a losing month for me but it doesn't matter much. Thank god for the September special bonus.

By the way, Eli has gone nuts. Check out this link:

Good luck dude. Looks like you'll get some action.

Sept update

This could be my first losing month ever. It's been about 45k hands so far and I'm still down about 2 bi. Hopefully things will turn around.

However I am working on something that could be big for me potentially. I'm working with a new coach now and all I have to do for now is to put in the hands and make sure I can follow his coaching. If I can impress him for the next couple of months then we'll continue the arrangement further. Wish me luck.

Poker is fun

This is the last 14k hands. Fucking get hit with a 10bi downswing right off the bat in Sept. fml.

August 09

Ok, I'm giving up on August. It was a fine start but I kinda faded at the end. I now have 'afraid to get out-played syndrome' and I make too many bad calls. I need to just watch a couple of videos and go back to the basics. I play too many small hands for big pots and worst of all, I play being out of position too often. I kinda got away from the basics and I need to stop thinking these regulars are exploiting me. I still need to make money from fish mostly.

As for the goals I set for August I failed spectacularly in every single one of them except the winrate, which is not much better than the 3BB I set. I was hovering at 5BB or so the whole month until the last 15k hands or so. Blah, I'm so disappointed right now at myself and my results I just don't feel like I'm worthy of any kind of improvement. Why the fuck am I so fucking lazy????

I'm still at 86k+ vpp this year so far. Not even supernova yet lol. If I can somehow get to 200k vpp I'll get 6k in bonus alone. That means I need 114k vpp and at 0.2vpp/hand, I need to play 570k hands before the year is over. That's almost 150k a month. Ok, I'm not gonna make it. Nevermind that.
