No Time For An Update!

Well, there really isn’t a whole lot of time but here we go!

I played my 5 hour session last night and ran very well, taking like $2K off of the tables. I earned 3K VPP’s in the process and left myself having to earn 8K today.

I just finished up my first half of today’s grind and it started off really well and then ran about as bad as I have all month. Seriously have no clue how some of these idiot regs make any money but I guess if they run as good as they do against me all of the time then I can see it (no, I’m not talkin about you gutter :P You’re just a box). I could post a dozen hands but there’s no time. I thought that I pretty much lost that $2K that I won last night after this session but the start must have been much better than I remeber because I was EVEN!

4K down, 4K to go. Only taking a half hour break right now then back to the grind…honestly no idea if I’ll even make it to 50K, it’s going to depend on if I can maintain having 24 tables up at a time. Obv going to try my best, hopefully I can run better and make some money in the process. Should be a decent month regardless!

gl at the tables, apologize in advance if I say stuff in the chat today…def in a tilted mood!

#132 – May 31st 2011: “Another Unloved Discarded Shred of Dead Rainforest”

Ok, so yes there has been a bit of a break since my last post. But you see, I was meant to be moving on to bigger things. Full Tilt Poker commissioned me to write an article for them last month and the very day it was due to go up, BANG, the site is brandishing FBI stickers, having been indicted that very day by the Department of Justice.

It was a nice little piece on the ‘Cultural Differences Between Poker in Europe and North America’, 800 words of pithy observations and jingoistic abuse that will now be reconciled to my desk drawer to join my TV Series scripts, feature film script and countless other unloved, discarded shreds of dead rainforest that have yet to make the light of day.

Fingers crossed, Full Tilt will find a use for me in the coming months. As my friend Michael Craig pointed out, my value to them should, in theory, have gone up now that the US is no longer a viable market. If they do, I will at least be able to add one more ‘difference’ to my list.

$870 – 1/121 ($26 Rush)

My 3rd outright MTT win of the month. I’ve never won 3 tourneys in one month before. I’d love to say I played amazing however due to lots of railers I can’t say anything like that. I played well to get 5 handed but then I ended up getting it in with KQ vs AJ. With an A on the flop I was nearly logging out but then a K turn and Q river gave me the chip lead. A few hands later a shroty shoves for 30% of my stack. I call with AJhh and he shows AK. Flop comes down J high with 2 hearts haha :) So after that pot I got down to heads up and managed to use my #skills to take it down from there :) GG

$2,850 – 6/421 ($109 Rush)

This brag is both good but annoying as I feel uber deflated. I was playing and running well. With 6 left I had about average until I got it allin preflop with a similar stack to bust in 6th. Folded to me in sb with AQs, I put in a nice raise, he just shoves so I snap. He has AK and holds :’( $2.8k is a great result and adds to the uber sick month I’m having but $14k would have been epic. Happy non the less.

Also cashed in the $44 4-max tourney I like in 5th for $250 the same night.

These last couple of days have been insane trying my best to retain my SNE status for the rest of the year (well, until September). I am playing my ass off and giving it everything that I’ve got and it’s still could be all for nothing lol. Yesterday, I grinded for 14 hours! Yes, 14 f*cking hours playing 24 tables of 200nl+ at a time. Today, I’ve played for about 6 hours and am about to start up another 5 hour grind before taking a 3-4 hour sleep and then I’m going to have another 12 hour race against the clock the following day.

Playing this amount of volume requires intense focus and discipline…my focus has never been an issue while playing but my discipline is why I’m in this mess to begin with. Little things, such as setting the alarm for 6:30am yesterday and then shutting it off and waking up at 11am, really start to add up. It also didn’t help wasting 2 hours in the gym just now talking to some cute girl (wasted?) but it is what it is!

This reminds me a lot of last December all over again…I’ll be happy to not lose my bankroll but I’ve actually managed to turn a small profit thus far. Another problem with not waking up very early in the morning PT is that the virtual games get very dead at night and it’s nearly impossible to run 24 tables at a time so I’m getting much fewer hands per hour. As mentioned earlier, the plan from this point forward is to grind out 3K VPP’s tonight, which will take around 5 hours, and then wake up at 6:30am and do a 4K-break-4K session to close out the month. I’ve been running abysmally bad over my marathon so far and I don’t expect things to change quickly…I’ve also been playing kinda crappy making too many calls in spots against the most unbalanced players on Stars where they always have it even though they rep like 1 hand. Oh well, we’ll see how things turn out.

Anyways, I’m going to try and pull this off for all of the procrastinators out there. About 11K VPP’s needed at this point, I’ll try to throw an update in tomorrow but we’ll see how much time I have.

gl at the tables!

More of the same shit today (and for the past days I haven’t posted, incidentally) More unbelievable bullshit that is impossible in the real world of non rigged cards. I was recently in the HEM forums if there’s anyway to get stats on how often opponents hit their sets, how often AX loses to Ax etc etc and there actually is no way. He suggested I suggest it in the suggestions thread. Like um no! Just get it the fuck in there!!! That kind of thing should be bog the fuck standard in software like that! If I were able to access that data I’m pretty sure it would go AX beat by Ax 80%, big PP beat by small pp 60%, KK/QQ/JJ beat by Ax 80%, and AA beat by KK 60%. I’m about 5k game onlines break even now and was reading puyan’s blog today to see he’s been on a stretch close to 10k online games. So I’ve got exactly the same amount to look forward to al over again before it gets better. I mean this just confirms it now. As far as sample sizes go I just aint interested in anything less than 100k online games to show about 10% of a true ROI imo. So basically no one really knows who’s best cos it’s all rigged. No way of knowing. Just copy that guy who coaches and makes videos cos he runs hot his whole fucking life n we take his word for it on how to play. ok then. GAME OF CHANCE. simple as.

Ireland was fun, although kinda frustrating. Bust the main pretty quickly, won a bunch playing cash, lost a bunch playing cash (to Luke), had half the chips 4-handed in the Highroller event – came 4th, lost a bunch playing acey deucey (to Luke) and lost a bunch playing whist (also to Luke. BASTARD!)

I’ve played exactly once since coming back and that was yesterday; managed to finally do a win after months of near misses. Two wins actually, won the stars $8r 2x turbo for 7.8k (2nd time I’ve won it this year!) and then…


Bink! So that gets me out of makeup and pads the liferoll. May I think has been my best month ever in terms of results, although I don’t get to see all of it by any means with the staking. Still, pretty fun to have a $50k month!


Dan Dave and Luke have been pestering me to go to vegas this year which I’ve been resisting until now mainly because of money issues, but I feel like I can head to the series for a few weeks and have enough left over for the rest of the year and winter travels if the series goes badly. Haven’t 100% decided or looked at flights or anything, but the vague plan would be flying out on the ~20-25th, there’s a dozen or so $1-3k events between the World Series and the Venetian Deepstack series, then play the MAIN EVENT, then fly back. Then head back in November for the final table…

Should have just not played this Sunday!

After promising myself I wouldn’t play I am about 1400$ down for the night and went against one of my rules of only playing when fully fit to. I was pretty tired throughout because of my sleeping pattern. If I am going to be honest I haven’t had a good session in a while now, always playing when I shouldn’t out of boredom. My roll is now close to $10k which is not good. I need to be pushing on but am faltering by not being properly prepared for a grind, but from now on I vow to do something else with my night if I feel groggy/tired instead of lose money.

Like Cos (Greekstein) now I have to treat this lark like a profession, and when I do I see positive results and when I don’t I hemorrhage badly. Need to find where I mislaid the jared tender book, read it and start applying some of the philosophies in it.

The one thing I am doing well recently though is going to the gym and actively losing weight. I will have a beach bod for the summer and I hope by the time my hols comes I am a well oiled machine both mentally and physically so I can make a killing on life in general. I know I can, just fucking hard to use the stringent discipline required.

Btw, If you did think of me topless and oiled when I said the above, It’s only natural and I advise you give in to your lustful urges.
