Finally i found some time for poker. In previous days, I was able to watch only a couple of videos (i'm way behind with that) and hit some ICM trainer hands.
Today i was visiting my family again (yeah, Sundays are that for) and so bro land me a LCD 22'. It fits 6 tables beautifully and even 9 are manageable (althou 888 allows only 8 - go figure )
I immediately plug it in and started my sessions. Result is slightly -, but nothing to worry.
Now i'm going to review some hands, post few of them on forum and then hit the bed.
Oh, yeah, my plan about moving to betfair is postponed, cuz i'm probably taking a big project in April so there won't be much time for poker and clearing that bonuses.
I'll probably switch to some room that i already have an account and where traffic is bigger (pokerstars or poker 770) for that month, just to get in action as quickly as possible when i'll have time. SnG Statistics:
Jelaous of the LCD! I grind using a lappie, which makes the screen look a bit crowded (when I play 7-9) and on top of that Party software is making me mad at times!! But it's alright, no tilt.
Sick suckouts, mate. Watch it, karma's on its way to get you! Will try to have a look at some of the hands you posted. Need to accelerate with my self-development as a poker player and hand eval forums seem like a perfect place to do it!
You guys have to buy monitors 100 euros for 22 inches is going to repay it self in a week.
Trust me on this one, when i bought first 24 monitor and realized what am i missing i bought second in a week.
It's not just volume you can put but spots you are missing and less tilting etc
Aw man, don't mention karma, i'm getting enough scare just by looking at your blog. Kudos for not going wacko there. I really feel bad for you cuz you seem to me like a dedicated player and you're one of my motivation to work even harder. I'd even stack you if i had $$$ ♠_biggrin:
I don't evaluate your hands much, cuz i'm not comfortable with all super turbo sng, turbos yeah, but super are just to fast for me at the moment. I like to play at least 3,4 hands before i hit push/fold phase
Maybe you should try those?
LCD... yeah, it a lot better but still not satisfied I'm aiming for 27' or 30' when/if i get moneys for it, playing poker.
I'm done playing for now and going to look for some poker music.
Any suggestions?
I also decided to put profile picture on, i just have to think of something first. Damn I'm so facebooky right now, even if i don't have account there. ♦
fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, CO calls 20.00, BTN calls 20.00, Hero raises to 100.00, fold, CO raises to 180.00, fold, Hero raises to 1,480.00, CO calls 1,300.00
I grind a little this morning and suddenly an error pops up on my last table. Luckily i was able to finish my table just to found out that my today winnings weren't there. I closed the software and tried to login but couldn't after several attempts, with message saying that my acc is temporary disabled. Paniced, (cuz of the stories in 888 room section) started writing to support when suddenly another attempt was successful. Anything seems to be OK now.
I managed to breach $500 BR but went out on last 3 tables pretty quickly getting sucked out (one of hand is above), but that's OK, I'm not even that money oriented anymore ( i hope my thinking will be the same when downswing arrives).
I started mixing $8.80 tables into sessions, one normal and one turbo if there is traffic, to load them faster. I can't say that they are much different but i got very small sample on them.
A also cleared another $10 of bonus. Two more to go... gotta put some more volume.
Oh yeah, forgot to thank my honey for helping me with profile pic. And to help me grind, i'm listening to this (whole compilation):
So i watched like 8-9 vids in between, hit some ICM, played some tables...
Found out that $8.80bi have more traffic than $5.50s
I offered my HH of one tourney to Unam for his coaching session and he accepted. Only problem is that i didn't realize that i'm working then. Now I have to find someone to switch shift with me cuz this is to good opportunity to miss.
Can't wait to find out how i'm i doing.
I'm also considering to take a HH review lesson with <3 - as soon as i get my credit card back
BTW, can someone explain why is there a difference between PT3 and sharkscope in number of played tourneys? In my case for 13.
I played only one session yesterday and it was a heater. Went up to around $580 with 7 out of 8 ITM.
If only i wouldn't play like today. It was like i was not sure in any move... Don't know what happened, i hope it just tiredness cuz i'm up like 20 hours and i can barely watch
I have this strange felling over me that i'm playing break even poker and that there is so much out there that i don't see it... (i know it's a small sample )
Well, you can't accomplish all in just barely 3 months, can't you
One way to know that i'm getting better is when i go over my older hands, that i posted in the eval forum, and i see that now i'd play them more correctly
I'm 95% at 1700 hands with ICM trainer and for the rest of 1300 hands till the end of this month i'm going to set it to bubble play only.
Hi man, tnx for dropping by! I think we played couple of hands already!
What do you think about the field? Where were you playing before? 15s you say? How are they? Interested in sweat session? Do you have similar nickname at 888 as here? (no need for answering if you want it to be anonymous) Do you want me to stop questioning?
I wont say anything cuz i looked over my pushes and they were correct, even ones i lost a flip with them. ♠_biggrin:
Except one hand with JJ when i busted out 8th. Totally my fault. Too ashamed to post it.
Played 17 (10 x $8 and 7 x $5) SnGs today, finished 12 ITM.
Oh, yeah cleared another $10 piece of bonus. Only $10 left and if i make another 100 points after that, there is a a huge $10 rake back for me as a reward for making them $500 rake :facepalm:.
Great news, Unam confirmed to take me as user review session. Join him on Thursday if you're interested and make some comments about the play, i'd be happy to get a second opinion. I hope i find time for his live coaching today.
BTW, the other day bro gave me a call that he wants to join community and make some $$$! He passed the quiz and i wish him best of luck at the tables. If you're reading this, you know i'm here for you! (Only that he called me today, saying he got that job he wished so much and so he's going away for few months. Beacause of that, he's poker career is postponed till ...?)
That's it for today and now let's see new episode of "The Walking Dead". Comic is even better!

No, questions are good
I was playing at stars and ipoker and before BF my main room was UB. 15s are not much different than 8s but i was play only few of them. I building my br right now and gonna stick to 5s n 8s for some time. Im also playing 6max.
And yeah we can do sweat session, it would be nice. My nickname on 888 is crowes5555.
my skype is crowes. ( dot included ) add me and we can arrange something. I will be offline for next few days but after that im gonna be online all the time
I knew you're freak too! ♦ I must say i like Glenn the most, of course Tyrese was a bad ass (prison scene - locked in the room full of them - golden) and don't forget about Michonne - sick lady ♠_cool: Kirkman is the man!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ Targetme
I hope i made you laugh! Can't believe i didn't notice that (or that nobody said anything)! Thank you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ crowes
Yep, you're the one To bad i don't have a roll for 15s if they are almost the same... I'll send you a friend invitation if you're interested and just tell me when it's good for you. I'm sure we can work something out. Have you ever done sweat session before? I haven't, but reading about this i'm leaning towards HH review over live sweat, cuz then we can talk about specific spots even more.

Michonne, of course... her mutilating the Governor was superb! Actually, the whole Prison v Governor storyline was by far the greatest in the comics!
Did you know that there is a short story of Michonne in Playboy i believe?
Look it up on... you know, i don't know if i can post such site addresses here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again i skipped coaching... But i'm there today for sure!
I had kinda swingy sessions in those two days but managed to continue building my BR...
My sessions looks like 5-6 x $8 and 2-3 x $5 BI now cuz of the traffic. I'd like to switch only to $8 BI but it takes for ever to fire 8 of them up so sometimes i play only 6 tables...

I'm aiming for 27' or 30' when/if i get moneys for it, playing poker.
right now, even if i don't have account there. 
today. It was like i was not sure in any move... Don't know what happened, i hope it just tiredness cuz i'm up like 20 hours and i can barely watch 
But i'm there today for sure!
