I'm from Co. Down and went to school in Belfast. What about you? To be honest, I'm just going to go ahead an assume that we know each other somehow. We've come this far... don't let me down!
Sounds like we could do, Im from Down aswell(carryduff) and went to school at Methody?




Gave up the Supernova chase, it was always going to be tough and caught a spot of rough variance which made me through in the towel, looks like im going to finish the year ~90k VPPS

Had a few good days since then and working my way out of the downer. Feel as if im playing my best poker to date, also feel that ive a much greater understanding of the game now than I did even a month ago. Just gotta sit back and wait for the heat

Booked my flights to Australia, 30th Jan, meeting up with a few mates and plan to start in Sydney and Degen it up the coastline. Still undecided on whether or not to take a trip up to Bangkok before I go, Flights are cheap, may come home drunk one night and just yolo it.

Last month in Thailand,

No more visa runs = good

No more girls who are impressed enough that they'll sleep with you if you can afford a beer = bad

#whenwillitend

Potentially my toughest month to date in session. Seems as though every time I sit down for a grind im destined for a mouse throwing, FML day.

Sadly its worked its way into my game, im doing some awful things which are outside of my gameplan due to tilt. Wanting to finally ship a pot has left me forcing the action in tons of spots, resulting in my ranges being pretty skewed.

My winrate for the month stands at -0.02bb/100, fairly confident Ive never had a -bb/100 rate for a month since like Black Friday, ran pretty good at nl200 which means im still up $1500, but with my mindset and game im semi confident this will be my first losing month in 2013.

Sigh,

In other news it looks as though Im moving out of my place tomorrow. Will update more on that shortly.

Hand of the day:

This one was super tilting, vrs unknown. Really was just trying to figure out if his thought process was "eh I want all the chips, and I cant get them unless I check raise". Without going into detail, I think this play is pretty awful with a flush(vrs a complete unknown).

So anyways I thought both calling and folding was ok, so then I clicked call(cause I like to press that button), but then sadly my LOLthai internet disconnects resulting in a fold.

    Do you not think its a pretty awful line if you indeed hold a flush here?

    And woot? You gotta look at the population as a whole, Blondes always are head turners but very few of them are actually good, redheads are usually awful, but I will admit a good one is hard to beat. Brunettes are usually solid throughout.

    Worst Christmas ever



    TLDR

    Christmas in Thai is weird, with no family around none of the usual Christmas traditions would take place, woke up as if it was just a normal day.

    Decided id be that guy and loaded up the tables for a short Christmas grind. Session one goes as follows,



    Everything was pretty much as you would expect, got oversetted(?) 3 times, which really is quite the achievement. Mentally I struggled, decided it was more than just variance that was causing me to lose dem chips, So went for a coffee, MGOP2 in hand, and done a recap on things Ive been forgetting. Refreshed, I return home ready for battle



    Was still pretty happy with my turn around, even if that was just mere consolation.

    So with 2.5k hands under my belt I thought I was worthy of a beer. Done my Christmas shop(4 pack of xl changs, condoms(not xl), mouthwash, mentos) and got on it.

    Met up with a few guys and went gogo-ing, felt weird strip clubbing on Christmas, but tis the season.

    Until now everything is good, yes I had a losing session, yes im degening on Christmas, but im drunk and all is well. Head to the night club, dance around until I feel the need to sneak off and head to a bar to ponder life and have a few solo beers.

    All goes to plan, I sit down, beer in hand, 2 girls approach me and ask why I am alone(Jackpot), straight off the bat I can tell one is a ladyboy, although the other one im pretty interested in. We chat and they dont ask me to get them drinks(bonus imo), as it gets late I say I have to leave. They fall for my bluff and ask if they can come, I mean, Im pretty uncomfortable with the ladyboy coming back, but who am I to judge, and who knows what ill be game for if things get heated in the bedroom.

    Driving home is a blurr, but arrive safe for something I wont forget.

    We jump into bed, the ladyboy to my surprise knows her place and separates to one side of the bed, whilst the other girl and I fool around.

    She starts wanking me off and I cant fully remember but perhaps a semi blowjob was had? at which stage I decide to make my move for Vag island. I slip the hand and encounter a weiner, my balls shrink at the realization of what is going on, and all she can do is giggle.

    The rest of the night is abit of a blur, no I didnt **** her, but I let them stay? is that weird? woke up this morning contemplating suicide, and then they have the cheek to ask for some money?

    I gave her 1kbht fwiw($30), I here stories all the time about ladyboys fighting people and stealing ****, and I was already going to have explain to my housemate that I brought back two ladydudes, adding "and I fought them" didn't seem too appealing.

    Taking the day off poker to watch a ton of girl on girl porn and drink myself into a comma.

    Merry Christmas

    i think we have enough flushes in our range that we can fold pretty much everything else.. idk, its close-ish

    also lol had a good laugh at your story... still cool, this would never happen in europe

    I say semi blowjob cause im not 100% sure it happened, I was drunk as **** so cant really remember, but have flashes of her going south. Yea I met them in the ladyboy area of Bangla, So something should have clicked, but If I recall correctly she told me she was female and the other one was a ladyboy. I usually pride myself on my ability to tell the difference, but I guess the mixture of alcohol and hornyness probably hindered that.

    She still seemed pretty female this morning fwiw

    Thanks guys, starting to see the funny side of it myself


    Just finished my last session of 2013, managed to salvage some of my month back, ending +1.6k, worst for a good while.

    I do believe my game has came along in the past 2 months, despite both being disappointing, gona keep working and chalk it down to variance. Hopefully hit some heat soon.

    Will do another update with what graphs I have tomorrow, (which could be none as since I exported my database earlier this month and happy with laptop speed and dont wanna hinder that) but finished the year ~35k so exceeded expectations.

    Everyone loves button clicks

          Hopefully keep it up??

          Made some goals for 2014:

          - Become a reg/starter in the 2/5 zoom

          - Supernova

          - Get life roll to £50k(BR not included)

          - Get another source of income(this can or cannot be poker related, i.e beating a new game, or something completely different, like stocks etc, just something else coming in besides NL winnings)

          - Sleep with 50 girls

          Probably add a few more when I get some time/random motivation.

                Got a semi decent story, I think.

                Robbed by hooker

                Ill start by saying despite enjoying a good degen I dont indulge in hookers, In Thai(at least in Phuket) its almost like you need to chat up the hooker, which just shouldnt be part of the payment process. You can even get rejected by a hooker, wtf? Afaik the deal is, go over to hot Asian, ask to buy her a drink, then spend an hour of your time speaking broken English to a whore before arranging a price to leave.

                So anyways, was spending a couple of days Karon, Went to the kata bars for drinks, despite this still ended up drinking back in good old Patong within the hour, downside to this means chances of getting a girl back are extinguished. Aint no way im taking a girl 20 minutes away, getting rid of her/taking her home hungover the next day would just be too much hassle. The night wears on and I dive into degen horn mode, and convince myself if I just go to the Kata bars again, Ill be able to get a girl there.

                I make the trip and arrive to find them closed, but one "Chang Club" still open, had ~10 girls, a **** DJ, and some 70's disco lights, perfect! I get myself a drink and play the waiting game.

                A girl comes over and starts to chat, it must be about 5am so the chat is fairly too the point, shes small, with a good body(asian ldo), and avg-poor in the face(comeon its 5am). She has her own drink, says we can go back to hers, and can give me a lift If I want. This ones a no brainer, no drink to buy and I can sneak off in the morning.

                We arrive at a den, the door gets forced open, this place smells like the great depression, there is no working light, its just a dark room with a stained uncovered mattress on the floor, am I really going to do this? She tells me thats not her bed she sleeps upstairs(thank god). Arrive at the upgrade, 2 mattress' on the floor, uncovered again, sexy. We jump into "bed" and get started, she then pulls away and says "You pay me 2k?", Bitch, shes like a hooker spider, got me in her web knowing I wont be able to wriggle out, But we are in bed so... 2k is lolworthy, but we agree on 1k(£20, still ripped off but I do feel sorry for her). Almost exactly as the money is exchanged, the front door slams, ****, so this is how people get kidnapped.

                Its her sister, who sleeps on mattress 2. She tells me to go outside while she explains to her sister, at this point I'm thinking I've hit the degen motherload, 2 sister whores in a crack den.

                No such luck, after 5 mins she comes out and just says "Ok then bye "

                I leave confused and angry, was it a set up?
