Back to myspace

well i dont post much on here and my traffic has dropped considerably. The point of starting this site was to get into other types of stuff like forums, articles, some sort of products like clothing for tax purposes and cuz it would be pretty fun to do. But the peak i was at when this started has been shakey to say the least since the legislation, so i never went through with the promotion and designing that i had started to plan. I'll just leave this post up with a link to the blog where it originally was, on myspace. http://blog.myspace.com/thelior
and hopefully do something interesting in the near future with the site like i had wanted to!
HoLLa!~

December so far~

ok so woke up went over some hands from yesterday and started up games... At first i was getting on tables and waiting lists for a certain player from yesterday who is pretty bad but 6-8 tables 400nl... then i got involved in a few pots with a guy i havent played with before but i had stats on him from datamining and was pretty LAGy... first i completely spewed off chips to him in this hand- http://www.pokerhand.org/?647682 then this hand followed http://www.pokerhand.org/?647687 which is still very bad on my part, but that call was just a hero call... When i started out in cash after doing this i'd usually get up and come back later cause i'd be too upset and wouldnt play right... but recently ive been able to stay prettly level even tho its been real swingy.
So i ended up getting on 6 tables w/ this guy and paying attention to how he played so i could adjust to him, at first he went pretty nutty and i didnt want to get too involved when i didnt know, so this fold http://www.pokerhand.org/?647701 was almost certainly wrong in hindsight, but at the time it was correct. After he did this http://www.pokerhand.org/?647703 I kind of kicked myself for the QQ fold but whatev.
Some interesting hands:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?647710 - The cards arent flipped over till all 5 cards are out, so pretty much every hand he could have caled with, JJ,QQ,AK, AA i lose to... The hand he flipped i didnt really think was an option LOL
http://www.pokerhand.org/?647717 - once i push his hand only beats a bluff because im not raising with with anything except a better hand or nothing...The way the hand was played i pretty much never hand nothing...

NOVEMBER is OVER!! Played aLoT...

Here is the graph for november... i played 130 hours this month. I fell like im getting the hand of NL cash. I ran good for the 4-5k hands i played @ $400nl but the bulk of the hands are $200NL... everything is 6max tables, no full ring... Im running @ like 22/16/3 which is probly considered not too LaGy (loose aggressive) but not that TaGy either (tight aggressive) but im not sure totally where shit falls with those two terms. I feel like i play alot of hands, but there are some good players somewhere around 30/22 which is quite a bit looser and more aggro... anyway... no $$ goals for December, just to try to get in at least 50k hands.... HoLLa!~

Its LaTE!

4 somthing AM now, i called it a night around 3am but couldnt sleep so got started playing a bit and 15 min. into it Stars did a scheduled restart or something which lasted 5 minutes and closed out the lobby. Gonna try and go to sleep now so i can still get up by 10-11am to do cardio but i did get in like ~3k hands today which is around 6+ hours worth of playing, im still running really well so we'll see how long that lasts! Here are a couple cool hands :)

Please pair board please pair board please pair board.... thank you :)

Going gooT so far...

I ran at something like 6ptbb/100 hands @ $100nl over almost 20k hands... i already had the roll so i moved up to $200nl now that i feel i have the basics down. Over my first like 5k hands ive ran way too good LOL... Variance is gonna punch me in the face.. ive played almost 4k hands yesterday and im shooting to hit another 3k or so today.... im gonna be 4 tabling instead of 6 tabling so i can focus more... late night session tonight...

Halloween madness...gettin fit... poker...

26th-30th were outta control each night pretty much. The highlight was suppose to be Monster Massive on Sat. but that turned out not so great. The limo ride up was like 2 hours cause the driver got lost on the way to LA WTF?? Ended up calling the night at 6am, while most the others blocked out the windows @ a house when we got back and kept it goin till next afternoon. Monday night hit Metal Skool in a Limo for a friends B-day.

Trying now to not really do an all nighter till the end of Nov. when my friend is coming home from Boston. Been back in the gym, running/lifting in the mornings. Getting some size back and eating better.

As for poker, i found a coach who is gonna help me with the basics. Trying to play well whenver i play. The worse habbits i picked up from sngs is not paying attention when i play and you really need to w/ cash games. Its probably a good thing to go through this rough period. Hopefully everything gets better not worse, but the truth is, sometimes it felt like this whole poker thing was too easy.

UpDate

Well i finally got my cash into neteller from my bank account. Ive been reading and learning about NL cash this last week or two while not being able to play much. Ive played 5k hands of $100nl. I was gonna start at $200nl but i'd just lose extra money while learning the basics so no point really. My plan is to play around 10-20k hands then get a coach to help me work on everything. I might wait till 20k hands or I might go for the goach after another 5k hands, it depends how i feel about it. Im meeting new people that are NL cash players that i can learn from so that should help me get farther before coaching. Also i subscribed to www.cardrunners.com where i can watch videos, read articles, etc. Its way worth it for how cheap it is.

The plans i had with starting a website and maybe even clothing etc. are gonna take longer obviously while everything settles. Its still not known how online poker is going to be affected in the near future. Im hoping to put in alot of effort and get a solid understanding of NL cash NOW so that if worse comes to worse i can make a living playing live games while i go to college, since by then its going to be alot harder to learn and work on your game since you get like 30 hands an hour in live poker :( as opposed to minimum 450/hr if your 6 tabling online.........
