miss you Tom, pop in on skype and say hello every once in a while!

Sup P'Nit

Started off the day really well then decided to spew loads of monies. Was really tilted actually, first in a long while. Likely because I used up all my patience earlier in the day. Then had to spend the rest of the day rostucko grinding. Redline tanks cause tables were actually pretty fishy today.

Need to househunt because my sublet ends the end of this month. Hopefully I'll find something closeby and quick.

Also before ya'll look at the graphs and funky hands: http://dustyschmidt.net/2013/02/this...rain-on-poker/

I read this article and I feel that it actually applies to me and it's quite scary. At times I feel like my brain can't turn off and I have to play like counterstrike/tetris to cool off after my session. I don't really know how to explain it other than it feels like my brain is a frozen computer. Like when your computer freezes and you have to manually hold down the power button to shut it off. Gonna ask a few other guys if this ever happens to them.

Without further ado

nice induceaments

Very interesting blog post and something I have been thinking about since I really got into online poker. I noticed that after any session over a couple hours, I definitely felt the need to "power down" for an hour+ just to start to feel normal and functional outside of poker again. It is concerning what the doctors said about the long term health impacts of putting long hours in. I think it's definitely something to monitor and it's just another discipline you need to add to spread your hours out alot. Like 2 spread out 3 hour sessions/ 3 spread out 2 hour sessions. The problem though for me is that starting my sessions is always the hardest part, so it would be even harder for me to have to start 3 sessions in a day. I kind of want to get a brain scan now and then another one in the future to see what kind of damage is being done.

thanks bud

Yeah it is definitely worrying. I should probably space out my grind but it's hard to stop mid session for me unless I'm feeling tired.

Nope, not today sir

wow nice hands sir!

:conf used:

??????

He reps like a super few Txdd combos that he might not even 3b pre...

you def missclicked at least once somewhere in that hand...otherwise does not compute

lol no

loltobe

thanks

Feel free to elaborate.

haha, where do you think I misclicked?

pre, flop and river either that or you're a hacker

I simply think there's quite a few somewhat misplayed value hands.
I mean if he's calling a 4bet oop w A7s who's to say he couldnt c/r this flop w AJs, check for w/e (lol inducaments) reason ott and jam river just because he'd expect idk you to jam turn with your fds?

I'd imagine there are some pretty solid reads that go along with that HH.

would be pretty silly for him to xr AJ on this flop, but hey I called with AQ.

if he did xr flop with that hand I would expect him to shove turn

hahaha guess I'm a hacker



The fold button doesn't exist on my client, I've been telling stars for ages but they refuse to fix it.

imo

Assuming he's calling the small 4b OOP with a lot of hands, which definitely seems to be more and more standard these days I get why your line is good, but only after staring at the hh for the past half hour. I guess that's why I'm stuck playing with the poor folks instead of ballin' out like you pokedudes :P

I don't like doing this because its Ryan's thread and he's too much of a sick boy to derail it but given your tone I may aswell. Maybe you shouldn't assume just because you play midstakes (badly from what I've seen) that you know all and see all... I can genuinely believe you believe someone could have AJ here. You make my arguments for me, I barely needed to respond. I tend not to analyse my hands saying 'why couldn't he?', 'check for w/e?' and because 'he'd expect idk'.

tobe is an ex-fullring feel player, the worst kind of combination

jesus, you crush hard man, bankroll must be sick

yea this.

He'd probably jam all his non Tx flush draws and 45 on the turn as well as AJ.

I agree w you on your 1st sentence so I'll just shut up

Less hate, more love in the thread guise.
