FRNL is like a drug that I can't quit. I took a short break for most of Oct to play some sng's but FR is the real deal IMO.

I watched CMAR's 10NL video and found it very helpful. I have been jumping around trying to find my place in the game of poker and I think FRNL is it.

Welcome back, Check! BTW, a couple of other players (Bottomset and Skydancing) also recorded nice micro vids while you were away.

Main gave a good summary. Of course he could've changed a line or so :P TY though main. I offered to do a well but no one showed interest so I guess imma wait till I'm at balla status. My link is in my profile for my blog, I just wrote what I consider to be a pretty good blog post(although somewhat contradicting to itself):

Ok,


First, I am completely pissed. I just cannot go through a good month. I have to lose 4k a couple different times each month. I have to have huge downswings. Every single [censored] month. I just want ONE to go up, throughout the month, without huge downswing.

Anyways, an outlook on poker and life: [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


I find myself worrying about all these results and looking up things/etc to view each month and see how each month goes etc etc. I realize now after looking at my yearly results how idiotic that approach is. I obviously like having good "months" and I really enjoy that, but poker is so long term that I shouldn't be caring. I mean I started this year with $300 playing 25nl, and now I can go out and buy a Corvette. I don't know many 19 years old that can say that about their "hobby." The thing is, I still am not satisfied. I think this is what may take me to the top one day(This is not meant to be cocky, but a good outlook). I am simply not satisfied with $10k in a month. Why, you may ask. Why would a 19 year old really want to make more than that? Why? Because I know other people have done it. I've seen $30k months via other people's graphs. I've seen a guy make 2.1mill THIS YEAR. I am overly competitive, and I don't think I will be satisfied until I am in the top tier of poker players. If everyone made $5k, then I wouldn't be as upset that I can't put together good months. But since they don't, I am so motivated to beat everyone else.

So, thank you The_Bryce, aba, Ivey, Jmoney and Renton, for the motivation that you give me to continue this quest to hopefully and/or eventually get to the top of this crazy hell of a hobby I call poker.


*Disclaimer: The first part of this post, the second part of this post, and parts of the post within the second part all contradict themselves. I know this and don't care. If you don't like it, get out of my little world cause thats how [censored] goes down 'round here.

Note: I am not comparing jmoney and renton to aba/ivey/etc, but they are basically visions of short term goals and long term goals.

Anyone want to stake me for the million or buy half my action or pieces of it? Its the $530 tomorrow and I can't really play that (unless I sat. in) although I would like to. I can def. afford half my action though. Just wondering. I could also use a day where I play like 6k hands of cash.

Pm sent!

Okay, dumb PT question. I'm trying to grab the hands from this morning's session from PT. It looks like the hands are taken directly now so there isn't a holding file like there used to be before I converted over to PostgreSQL.

I see that I can export all of the hands I've played today, but I want to verify that this isn't going to literally pull the hands out of my db. It will send just a copy, or I'll have to turn around and then reimport the histories back in PT?

Thanks for clarifying...

Nation, I assume you are SN on stars, right?

Just curious as to why you play on FTP nowadays

AS...u played in the Fall MTTs at Turning Stone right? i heard u were at my table in the first 300 event (probably around 50 left from the money, and u kept stealing, then got caught). sat in seat 1, kinda quiet.

that u?

(i heard i believe from Deeb that it was u...but wasnt sure)

(i asked this like 20pages back...but didnt see an answer)

I already replied to you earlier in this thread!

I said probably. If you recognize a young (almost too young looking) short, skinny kid wearing something UF related (probably a UF hat at least) it was probably me.
