15k hands at $200 rebuilding bankroll for another shot at 2/4.

Play a few more donkaments maybe look to qualify for a EPT event.

putting in a 10 hr. live session in the juiciest 200 NL game ever to build up your live BR b/c neteller is taking forever when you have an edge on everyone at the table for the first 5 hours, and and edge on everyone but maybe 2 players for the next 5 hrs. ("maybe" b/c they are high stakes players but donking around and getting drunk) and finishing -290 is not fun

I won that pot. I really had no read that the guy was so bad. I was just like 1000% sure the guy had a draw...

I guess you puked a little when the club fell, before he turned over his cards then....

winning lots of money. play 3-6nl then 5-10nl.

im hungover as ever. is anyone here playing any big poker tournaments in the next couple of weeks? i feel like going for a few days to the states in a couple of weeks and playing in a decent tourney (say $1-$2K buy in). this could be an impulse hungover feeling but im up for it. meeting up, getting drunk, then a couple of days playing a tourney.

anyone up for it?

godddddddamn. Actually it wouldn't be so bad to sit at his table cause his effective stack is the same as yours.

[psuasskicker]

Last month I made about 2x what I lost the month before (hence 2x what my goal was to make), and I did very well with my emotional control.

This month is tougher for me now with the Party monster tables. I'm unsure what I'm going to do as of now, but I think I'm signing up with FullTilt with rakeback and see how the play is over there and take a look at it.

This month I want to figure out exactly what I'm gonna be doing and just sorta take things slow. It's a grind for me and I'm not in a rush, so my only goal for the month is not to rush anything.

Has anybody played with this guy recently? I swear he was playing $1/2 NL a month ago or so. Now i see him absolutely killing $5/10 and $10/20 NL and obv. $3/6 given his stack when he plays.

Quick question - how does coaching normally work?

Do you send a session of hands which gets looked over and commented on? or
Do you select specific hands to discuss? or
Do you go over specific situational concepts like when/who to float, stealing/defending blids, etc?

JA

[john kane]

okay im feeling better but still want to go to states. ive put a post in the MTT community in case anyone wants to come.
