welcome back
so thats another alcohol free weekend in the books :(
to save you some time .... I've been running like a donk and playing like a coo. ty, gn.
the trouble with alcohol free time and actually playing poker, is the simple fact of memory. I can remember every single damned if, but, maybe hand that I played .... most annoying was a reg who called a lot of pre-flop action between me and a random. the reg's hand (KK66 .. wtf, seriously, what the fuck ?) hit a set and the randoms A2 held to beat my A3 .... boom boom.
my main problem when running like shit is tilt. not burnleyMik rant an a raving steaming tilt :) no, no, this is insidious tilt .... too many hands, to much calling of pre-flop raises .... and having to drop 'em all on the flop like a too hot potato. over the course of a few k hands, it all adds up, meh.
oh and there is also the problem of playing too many forum games. I really only should play 2 forum games a week. Iron Man and variation night. not me though, I continue to (mostly) donate at their nlhe donkaments. note to self - knock it on the head you fucking plonker.
so its probably just as well I have hardly played a hand at 10c/25c.
tonight is variation night, mixed 08b .... does that mean it alternates between limit and pot limit ? surely there is no no-limit round .... ho-hum.

damned if you do, ....
welcome back.
alternative post title .... he holds him with his glittering eye - pt 8
had a well weird weekend. probably something to do with 100% abstention from alcohol (actually cannot remember (no pun intended) the last full weekend I abstained )) .... and in my totally sober state, it was a real cat and dog weekend with her .... in fact, her behaviour actually seemed worse. maybe its always been this bad but I've never been un-hung over too notice, fml. damned if you do, damned if you don't, lol.
even weirder. not a single hand of poker played since last Thursday, lol. maybe cost me a small fortune, more likely saved me a small fortune !
ah well, back to the grind and no doubt, the odd game with the forum donkeys :)
oh btw, re the alternative title, you'll have to scroll back 50 or so posts to see what I'm referring to.

strange things happen at the 1.2
welcome back
yeesh, what an epic fail February was.
Lost my silver star status, meh, but added to the bankroll.
added $102 to my 'roll ($35 in bonus whore department, lol) the rest was all playing profit, probably $40 cash and $30 in tourney cash, ho hum.
but it was the manner in which I failed to achieve silver thats annoying. to put not to fine a point on it, I played way to many forum games and not enough cash ! no offence guys (dont think anyone from said forum reads) and as much fun as it is, it is deffo -EV from a selfishly personal point of view :)
deffo gotta knock that on the head and decide in advance which games to play .... not a good start to the month as Iron Man kicks off tonight (grrrr) and I will be playing all 10 of those games.
btw that money added to the roll was all done in the first half of the month with basically fuck all being added the second half, feels like a double epic fail now i've checked ffs.
i also really want to take another crack at the next level up, thats 10c/25c to the uninitiated lol .. I know, I'm such a fucking high roller :)
asked about on the forum and got some sound advice from the guys, one of them a pro, no less.
basically stick to pl08b, avoid the maniacs and keep it tight :) .... watch out for future posts detailing the crash and burn antics of pokerstars biggest fish lol (i've only got 10 buy-ins to squander, eek)
finishing on a high note .... there is some good stuff out there, you jus gotta get off your virtual very fat arse and look for it .... links on the right :)

grind, rant, poker, non-pokher
welcome back
did we all have fun over the festive period ? good.
I more or less stuck to the plan and ground it out on 'stars during December, well, up to the 24th at any rate. averaging out about a redic 1500 hands a day. made the bonus I was after and blagged another one into the bargain.
quite surprising really, since I was on the piste almost every night (sic). I came off-piste last night, managing only 540 hands in about 2hrs and a tiny wee profit, lol. her indoors moans like fuck that I have my head shoved way to far up my ass and that's why she ain't into the pokher. This month, I'll continue to grind on 'stars, but I will be off-piste, lets see if that makes any difference whatsoever on the pokher front. btw, her main complaint was the fact that I did not get up in the morning .... funny enough, I was up before both her and the kids this morning .. still no sign of a fucking thaw though .. then again, she probably thinks its only a temporary blip in my drinking schedule, lol
so a simple plan as far as poker goes this month. grind it up on 'stars while stone.cold.sober. If I can blag another bonus or two and a hundred playing profit, I'll be happy and count it as a success. Last night was typical of my play on the first night off-piste. almost on autopilot .. meaning I was not getting involved overly much. not likely to loose much but not likey to win much ! as expected since it always takes a couple of days to get the alcohol out my system, fml.
so there you go. nice simple goals for January.

"do you have a life ?"
welcome back.
its nice to see some of the players on 'stars actually paying attention.
i decided to basically grind (that's my version of grind) the fuck out of it at 'stars this month. The sole reason for this was to grab a yearly bonus. I only noticed I might actually miss the damn thing at the tail end of last month. Well, that's what happens when you go donking about elsewhere !
I need not have worried since I "easily" attained the required vpp's. Which has thrown up another dilemma. Do I take the bronze star $25 vip bonus now ? or do I push on for the silver star $50 vip bonus ? Since these are not "stellar" rewards, I'm assuming they'll be available whenever and they won't be removed at the end of the year ....
The only reason I've accumulated vpp's is through multitabling. I've also actually added some $$ to my small bankroll. If I was any good at this blogger thing I'd post a nice wee graph, but I'm not, so I wont. The month started badly, dropping 500bb's in 6 days. Then the tide turned. So far this month I'm up 8000bb's. Knock off 2500bb's for the bonus, and that's 5500bb's in actual gameplay profit. Obv not ALL of the profit has come from microstakes as I've played a few hands at 10c/25c and (lol) 25c/50c .... dont ask, I grew a set one night and decided to play in the big playground !
(now that I've counted it all, its quite "eeeek!" , I've never run like this, then again, never played like this....)
well, we all know what happens for the rest of the month, don't we ....
then this random types in the chat box .. "hey Evil, do you not have a life ?"
he was obv a wee bit irked that I was sat at all the microstakes tables (not "fast" though!) but, if you remember, I'm chat banned, so the random will have to make his own mind up. my response would of course have been ..
.. "not this month son, not this month"

I am NOT smarter than a 10 year old.
welcome back.
cheers guys. yer so helpfull zag, lol. Rossi you could have explained about "purchasing" stellar rewards, lol ....
1400 hands and only +$7 .... ugh, thought me all day today. I was way to tired to trawl hh's last night to figure out where the hell I'd dropped the "other" $43 of my bonus ....
(the only upside is I only need 65vpp's for Silver .. is it worth it Rossi ??)
yup, you guessed it .... I finally figured out that the $50 had NOT automatically been credited to my account, you have to purchase the fucking thing for the pricely sum of 1 fpp ....
yup, deffo NOT smarter .... in fact, I dont think I’ll play poker anymore, sigh, now where are my crayons …

resolve - A+ effort - B-
welcome back.
I will make my year end bonus on stars. since the start of December I have started grinding it out on stars. multitabling is, of course, essential. well, for the microstakes it is. not that I can 24 table but I'm getting there.
I only need 102 vpp's from tonights session :)
there are two reasons why I need to put in more effort. firstly, there are often more tables available than I play .... secondly, if I want to succeed with more tables, I need to cut down on "creative" plays !
one of the other nlhe bloggers posted about his months profit, quite nice it was too .... but .... he was err lots of buy-ins down and the profit was purely made from bonus money. I've never looked into the stars bonus thingy overly deeply, but if you make, say, a level one bonus for 2500 vpp's .... then level two jumps to 5000 vpp's ? me ? I'm up a whopping $20, lol
the point I'm trying to make, are bonuses for us microstakers not extremely limited ? lol, i just checked. after this bonus, I need 10k vpp's for the next one .... and since its dated 2010 then I assume stars reset vpp's to zero on the 1st january, no ? feel free to comment and tell me I'm talking pish !
if you want to move up stakes surely you cant rely on bonuses ? then again, do I want to move up ? the next level is 5-times my current buy-in .... oh and I notice that most of those tables are no-limit .... insanity, anyone ??
so 102 vpp's for the bonus and 175 vpp's for silver star .... gold star, pfffft .... thats a hell of a jump from silver to gold, lol .... then again platinum to supernova is plain redic !
sigh, I need a new template .... this broken one is really fucking me off. what a major pain in the arse a new template is going to be, but, it needs doing, bollox !!

Punch and Judy
welcome back.
well, there is hope ! had an absolute monster session last night.
1900 hands, $16 profit .... and 110 vpp's !
to me, thats amazing, a 3-figure vpp score. you know, I might actually get that bonus after all !
and the actual poker ? lets have a wee look.
my 2d 4d 8c Ah v 2s 3c 3d Tc v 6d 5h 7d 2c .... good for a scoop of 218bb
my Kc 3s As Ad v Tc Ah 4s Ac .... all the money went in on the flop 3d3h8h .... grrr, I take the high, she spiked a low, sigh. and against my fav Swedish babes too, oh Nonnie babes, how did you call my check-raise all-in on that flop ?? .... a 480bb pot and we split, ugh .... and I cant even chat because .... one month chat ban in place lol
my 32JA cost me 100bb when I tried to bluff (hee haw) a high board on the river and the villain just jams his stack in and I have to let it go, oops.
btw, A23x is the hand-of-death, I know it, we all know it, but still I hang myself with it .... grrrr
how about A2K6 v A2Q6 .... ended up a 400bb pot .... why the villain chucks all that in when he has neither nut low or high ... we split the low, I took the high, lol
quite a session. the rake paid in the hand against missSwedish was my biggest losing hand ! go figure. so obv feeling sorry for me, the RNG decided to try and soften the blow of being chat banned and flicked the 'ole doomswitch, in the right direction for once, lol.
thats the way to do it !

struggling
welcome back.
played some forum tourney games over the weekend. all good fun, pfffft. twice i get it in good, twice i get get fucking rodgered, pfffft. the third time I jammed with 7's .... ran into Q's , fml ! I believe I also missed drPauly's game ? ffs zagga, a wee reminder would be nice :)
also played the dirtyPoker omaha game late Saturday night .... cant quite remember how I got donked, but I did, honest.
Oh thats right, I also picked up a chat ban, fml ! while having a bit of manly swearing banter with dirtyScott .... mod shows up, usual "keep it clean .... yada yada yada" .... the mod fucks off, I type in a response to some comment .... boom ! .... "your chat priveledges have been revoked" fml and pffft in one !
besides that, I know how Mik feels. cant catch shit and more over, cant get anything to hold ! then again, all poker players say that, don't we ?
anyway, the real news is, I have a real grind this month to achieve a $50 bonus .... 700vpp needed, fuck. I know its not a lot but it is for an occaisional 1c/2c donkey who cant quite 24 table .... so far this month I've collected 160vpp's .... 516 more needed ! come on you fucking donkey, you can do it !
I probably could do it, but .... the forum are running some non-nlhe games over the festive period .... they do hellish few non-nlhe games so its hard to resist, sigh. then again, the chat ban is just confirmation that my doomswitch had been flicked ....

Deal ? or no Deal ?
welcome back.
after playing this tourney for what seemed an eternity, yes it was a turbo !, I get this "dude" heads up. but I'm outchipped by 3:1 .... ugh .... then it appears in the chat box .. "deal ?" surely this guy thinks I'm Doyle-in-disguise .... or does he just have a fucking nosebleed ....
i thought he was taking the piss but then i noticed the "deal" box in the corner of the table has "1 player interested" ticked ....
so of course i say "sure" and tick the box .... a "make deal" window opens .. I did not seem to be able to input any figures in this window but another window pops open telling me how much he gets and how much I get .... its not an even split, so I decline .... and type in the chat "split ?"
he gets all antsy, "no way", "i'm 3:1 up" .... yada yada yada
he offers 60:40 and I tell him 8:6 .... not exactly sure what happened but, another window pops open saying he gets 8 and I get 6.4 .... not really wanting to waste any more time fannying about, I just click the "accept" button ....
all the "deal" windows close .... the tourney shows finished, the positions and cash payouts appear in the normal chat box.
wheeee ! just cut my first deal ! nay, accepted my first deal ! awesome, just fucking awesome !
oh, btw, did I mention this was a $2 buy-in .... btw, did I mention this was a 9-man stt .... btw, did I mention the standard payout is $9 and $5.40 .... btw, did I mention I walked away with $6.40 ....
awesome, just fucking awesome !
pleasant dreams.
after playing this tourney for what seemed an eternity, yes it was a turbo !, I get this "dude" heads up. but I'm outchipped by 3:1 .... ugh .... then it appears in the chat box .. "deal ?" surely this guy thinks I'm Doyle-in-disguise .... or does he just have a fucking nosebleed ....
i thought he was taking the piss but then i noticed the "deal" box in the corner of the table has "1 player interested" ticked ....

welcome back.
I played stone cold sober last night. we'll come back to that.
well done noCash .... who went busto ! playing $2/$4 PLO, all I can say is "eek" .... but he also sat'd into some live event for a total outlay of £90 ish .... and the lucky mofo blagged third for .. get this .. £5,500 .... fucking awesome mate, just awesome !
well played sir, well played.
and me ? my sobriety test began in earnest last night. donking about on iPoker in some micro nlhe stt, I finished with exactly what I started with ! the up side is I played reasonably well :)
I then hopped over to 'stars and played in a forum mtt. only 4 tables, finally finished 8th running AQs into the big stacks KK .... immaculate timing as ever. Only dishing out one bad beat along the way, again, I'm more than happy with the way I played :)
lets see how it goes from here.

ASBO
welcome back.
after a weekend of drunken debauchery .. ok, ok, so it was only me and I was well drunk, lol.
bit of a waste of time, actually. it just means I sleep late and generally piss everyone off, oops. (she is convinced I am half way to being an alcoholic) and that's my biggest problem when "playing" poker. I've just gotten so used to being a sociable amateur. beer in hand and off i go. certainly numbs the pain of bad beats. anyway, think I'll try being a really anti-social player .. ie I'm here to take your chips and not the table joker.
interesting from my point of view to see if I need to "learn" how to play again, assuming I knew how to play in the first place !
so I'll wish you the usual pleasant dreams, no really, I'm off to bed since I've been "asked" to do a night shift over in East Lancashire, oh the joys !

Advantage
welcome back.
I am NOT staying here ....
Working for the man, has its advantages, occasionally. I am staying here.
being on nights does not give you time to appreciate your surroundings .... or play much poker for that matter, sigh
pleasant dreams.
