If I could maintain winning €400/7000 hands on 25nl I'd stay on that limit for the rest of my life. No need for moving up xD

Subbed, results looking sick. Gl at 50NL

very important to keep moving up the limits. There's always a bigger fish on the higher limits

Short term variance ftw!

I haven't played 50nl since before Black Friday and that was at FR, I've never played 50nl at 6 max. So I couldn't really say for now but hopefully will be able to give you an idea over the coming weeks.

Ha, so would I

Traditional start of year run good and fishy tables. It never lasts

There'll need to be

Apparently my early graphs have angered the poker gods and I am now suffering every conceivable beat possible

Won't bore people with the hands for now.

Lost 8bi so far but I was expecting much worse to be honest. Since I posted my last graph my SD winnings have been breakeven and for me that means I'm gonna be losing

As I said earlier, I was expecting much worse so I'm actually feeling pretty good. Onwards and hopefully upwards as the games still seem to be very fishy.

Got totally destroyed today, especially in 3bet pots. I've lost more in a day in terms of buy ins but I don't think I've run so bad and it was kinda disheartening.

Another day of being crushed (set into quads, KK<<<42 in 3bet pot, trips into trips with a higher kicker blind v blind), the only consolation was My Little German Friend being at one of my tables.

I had just sat down at the table and he had lost a hand to a whale and, as usual, I was brought up in the chat

Dutch: we have anthowe have anther 2 players like husker
MLGF: its reidiculous we keep playing here
Dutch: oke

GL husker

Thanks Ponty. I'll need it.

Who's being a pussy now ?

I read your thread solely for the chat absuses. How can you not engage in that conversation>??

Hehe, what did they have in tha hand anyway?

Any reason for reading is fine with me. The same guy has been abusing me for ages now. The good thing is that he is also adding in 6max tables as well (bringing his killer 14/7 game) so there will be more chat abuse to report even as I reduce my volume at FR to focus on 6max.

I don't engage him for a couple of reasons, first of all I think it would kill the whole thing if he knew I was a real player and it would just get back to the angry abuse he used to fling at me. I prefer this conspiracy related route he is going down. The second reason is that I think it intimidates him if he believes I'm a 'house bot' so I can abuse him on the tables and if anyone else starts to believe his nonsense then all the better.
I was very tempted yesterday to cut and paste a tournament announcement in the chat to make it look like the site had screwed up and proved him right I thought that may have been pushing things though so I kept my usual stoic silence.

If I am following the story line correctly here this German dude thinks you are a house player working for Full Tilt and because you never reply to him in the chat box he is also paranoid you might be a bot.

Lol you couldnt write this stuff.

Well it all makes sense now anyway, easy to win when you can see everyone's cards.

You must be tempted to play up to this image a bit. Start typing some Full Tilt promo's into the chat box and announce when Full Tilt MTTs are starting but still never reply to this fool.

That's exactly it. He now thinks I'm a bot that FTP use to maximise their profits. Given my losses over the past week they'll need to re-boot the ****ing thing or it will bankrupt them

I posted above that I was gonna copy and paste a tourney announcement in the chat but thought I may be pushing my luck with that one

Obv what you need to do is send "SOFTWARE ERROR: #E98SDF57" before jamming for 5x pot with the nuts.

Nothing much to report at the moment. Still running really badly for now and I've lost all my early winnings and I'm down for the month. Not sure how much yet as I've been avoiding my graph.

Not gonna post a ton of bad beats on here so I'll just post my W$SD for the month:



I'm normally around 56%

nit

In my nearly 7k hands so far this month im running at 9.92bb/100 with a W$SD% stat of 48.2%

Your wwsf should be 51, 52 or prolly higher?

Full Ring FTW!!!!!!

I almost believed you till you said you had played nearly 7k hands this month. That's an entire years volume for you

GL sir :-) blog is awesome. Hope you move up soon!

Acceptable shots fired ... although i will expect a full apology when my volume goes through the roof in the next 3 months.

Thanks

Have you developed a coke addiction?
