Watch me fight some AI baddies in VR Boxing in my latest post

For a period of time I was able to shit before I started my games but now I'm back to the same old shit. And shitting is getting more and more expensive as I move up the stakes. Let me do some calculations here about how much money it is costing me.

Since I mix tables, let's assume my average limit is 2/4 NL. Let's just assume all are 6max for simplicity. Out of the 24 tables, I have 4 tables at each of the 6 positions. Since I pay 6$ per orbit, each hand costs $1.

If I'm in ... when I time out,
UTG: -$1
MP: -$2
CO: -$3
BU: -$4
SB: -$5
BB: -$0 (cause i won't post)

4(1+2+3+4+5)=60$. What the fuck? In a shopping centre u only need to pay 10cents to enter the toilet. The cost for me to take a quick shit is 60$ and it gets worse if I play higher.

Something has to be done. But timing out and losing my seats is going to be super annoying. Can Table Ninja help in any way? Maybe I should try it again. I can't believe I don't have it, like 80% of players who 24 table have it.

If this happens everyday, it's gonna cost me almost 2k a month.

Dumbo2000 is a big retard. Stars already made 20bb-50bb tables for idiots like him but he chose to play 40bb and shortstack at our tables. He does stupid shit like shove over my isolation raises regularly. I need to plan out some counter against him.

He uses a 18% resteal range from SB which is super wide. It got really irritating when I was trying to play looser and isolate the fish on my right.

anyway today my profit is at -1700 and I'm 2k below EV (first time in quite a while). I'm fine with it since I lucked out a lot in recent times. I almost folded set in a FR game today. It's so retarded when you have bottom set and you feel you are beat 80% of the time. Board has no draws, no connected cards. Pot was 4way and board was 935rXX (with the backdoor flush completing). I was checkraised and was triple barreled. I really feel I can fold the river with 33. Maybe with 55 I can't fold.

i cant believe u dont use table ninja.. about the shit part lolol

the smart BB sit out feature saves time and rake ( it waits to sit u out if u r in the big blind ), so u just

click 1 button to smart sit-out -> go shit -> click another button and u r back at all the tables

Lol. Can't you shit faster? Maybe you shouldn't take the newspaper in with you. ♦

uughh maybe i should just buy table ninja now. Anyway a few things happened just now

1) Recorded my final Cardrunners video. I played back the sound and it sounded like crap. I have no idea why the audio was completely inaudible. It seems like my microphone got screwed and I tilted hard after that. It wasted 55 min of my life (at least i now know that I am within the 1 hour limit)

2) Had the coaching session with my China student. I got another China coach to help out for the first 40 min and boy was it tough. Both of them complained that the sound quality of my voice was really bad with a lot of distortions. I took out my netbook and used skype there in the end and it was better (but really troublesome).

My student is a LAGtard. He plays ultraloose and crazy but it seemed to work a little because everyone at our NL50 SH tables were so weak tight with VPIP of 10-15. But there was one hand which was pure spew. We raise TT to 1.50, got 3-betted to 4.50, we raise to 12.50 and he flats. Then we bet 22 into 30 and villain shoves, then we snap fold. I was still trying to think of the correct phrase to say in chinese to instruct him to call or fold to the 3bet preflop but he already 4-betted so quickly. ARRRGGHHH

3) Went to Challenger to buy a Logitech headset. This time I wasn't a cheapskate and actually spent 65$ on a decent quality headset. I'm quite happy with the purchase. It uses a USB port and the cushioning is really comfortable, compared to my previous headset which was very painful for the ears and also required me to plug in the microphone and headphone jack.

4) I'm left with 2 or 3 more days. Officially I'm ranked #9 but I know I'm probably #4-6. Let's just pray that Zeegro stops playing during weekdays or that he got drunked on Sunday night and is suffering from a hangover. Because I stopped after the 6h mark to make the Cardrunners video, I wasted a lot of valuable time. And tomorrow I have to stop early again because I can't possibly record the video at night due to noisy family.

I have 128000 VPPs (64000 SPs) so if Zeegro (62000 SPs) doesn't play today I will become 4th.

5) Going to vacuum my database again. I play so many hands that I have to vacuum it once every 2 months. It gets a little laggy now

nah today I shit before I played. Then I drank milk for breakfast and had to go again at 1 pm. Maybe I should only drink milk at night. Then the laxative effect will kick in when I wake up.

FYP.

Ok I bought table ninja. I bought a renewal licence (35$) and a full licence (60$). Already emailed them to give me a refund for the 35$.

I forgot that it doesn't support Black Theme. Anyone knows how to make it work with Black Theme? I find all other themes really ugly (especially Classic Theme). Hyper Simple isn't all that bad but I still think Black Theme is most pleasing to my eyes.

ok table ninja owns hard. Now I can 24 table like a true pro without using the mouse at all. Hurray!!!

Today the weather was nice and it rained in the morning. It felt really cool (rare for Singapore) and comfortable to sleep in but I forced myself to get up at 0700 and grinded until 1530. So today is the first day I used Table Ninja for my real games and it is quite a useful software I must say. Just that it's a little buggy and sometimes I cannot control the table which is highlighted in red so I have to use the mouse to click again on the table before I press my buttons.

Anyway here's a funny story. I bind the following buttons to the following keys: Fold Button (A), Call Button (S) Bet/Raise (D), Check (W).

Hero calls $519.95 all in

Final Pot: $1330.90
BB shows 4 4
Hero shows K T
Hero wins $1327.90
(Rake: $3.00)

So here's how Table Ninja paid for itself 10 times over.

I'm not sure if I would have called. I was losing a ton of money just now and was feeling damn emo. I was really afraid of 55 and I didn't know this particular reg was that spewy. He's a high level reg who has made tons of money.

I hit rockbottom at -$6000 but climbed back to -$1300. The start of my session was quite horrible because I was in aggromode and once again no one gave me any credit (everyone knows I like to rep the turn/river Ace/King/QueeN) so they always call me down light. I started losing more than 1000 so I tightened up to 17/14 but I think everyone's HUD has me on 22/18 or something even looser. People also remember the fact that I'm very spazzy postflop

I'm about to re-produce the Cardrunners video now. Hopefully everything works out fine and I hope to submit it later. I've decided to blank out my nickname on the handhistories because revealing who I am might hurt my credibility a little (Pokerstars NL200-600 regs know me and that I am bad-mannered and I always make a fuss when I run bad in chat :f_cry:)

I am officially ranked #6 today but I know I'm already #4. Looks like zeegro didn't play so much on Monday and I hope it continues to stay this way. I will try to log in a 6-8 hour session tomorrow (depending on Zeegro's points) and my plan for Thursday is to play until 12pm (12am US Eastern Time)

I just take my laptop to the toilet with me... problem solved.

It's the last day of June and its time to do a review of my progress so far. Remember that my initial goal was to hit 100k (profit+rakeback) at 31 Dec 2010.

Currently my bankroll is below 50k and I'm really disappointed, especially with the way I have been running. June was a complete disaster and I'm down 4k for the month. I earned 4k(250kFPP)+3.6k(milestone) through rakeback. I will probably earn 4k for #4 rank in top250 PS race (i have 71k SPs now)

Profit for the month
Raw Profit: -$4000
250 000: +$4000
Milestone: +$3600
Top 250: +$4000

I actually bought another 4000$ bonus today but I need 28 hours of 24 tabling to clear it. I won't be playing anytime soon cause I'm going on a short holiday to Phuket (2-7 july). Then from 9-11 July I will be playing WCG and sometime in midjuly I have a school camp so I'm going to be much more busier in July.

great blog mbml

I noticed you play very very good, keep it up and dont worry bout the results..

Can you tell me how many hands did you put in in June and how many vpps did you get?

Thanks..

>200k hands, close to 200 hours, 142k VPPs (71k SPs)

i dont think i play good, i suck...

but by end of the year i hope to rape up all mid-stakes regs at Pokerstars and take back all my moniez

lol didnt read this earlier. i think there are two types of shit. the first is the really urgent one, the one u cant help but shit in ur pants. the second is the type that will cause some discomfort but isn't super urgent. i think mine is usually the second (it will make me play sub-optimal but won't wake me up if I'm sleeping). Maybe my theory is wrong or maybe i should stop drinking milk altogether (or in the afternoon after my game ♠_biggrin: )

One thing I noted (and I think you noticed that too) I think is worth saying to you is you can use your aggression image against those regulars who have you as 22/18 and rape them imo..I mean not turn into a nit but make up a 70% value range and only 30% constituted by bluffs..and once they think they figured you out, you adjust again and all they can smell is the smell of your rims..

I think what you say about NL400-600 is true, because I smell a different atmosphere in NL400-600 comparing to nL100-200, everybody is aggresive and if they are aggresive and calling down light due to the effects of bigger monetary value of big blind I think you know what you have to do..trap 'em if they're aggro and value town 'em if they are fishy..simple as that

like your signature qakaripodon

@ mbml: thnx for your shit-strategy talks. always makes me laugh so hard ♠_biggrin:

verify every possible thing. bank, credit card, address, etc. Then if it is still not enough then you can ask them to increase your limits using the support.
