lost a few chips but got them back with made 2 pair. currently 7th with 26 remaining. late reg has now closed

https://scontent.fakl2-1.fna.fbcdn.n...88&oe=5CEF1D72

had not been playing that well the last few days. lost nearly 30% of my bankroll after cashing in the $55 Sunday Marathon last week.

I can say though that the last 2 tournaments I have been playing well in. Even though I didn't cash in either, if you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done, well that is all that matters

Going to play in a Badugi tournament tomorrow. Wish me luck In this thread there is a link to my schedule. Feel free to look at it! And thanks for the support!

Loving the schedule, Richard! Will you stream any of your tournaments? Would be great to watch you.

Does it cost anything to stream on twitch? Also do you need special software /a powerful computer?

I'm not sure, I'm not great with technology, I'm sure someone on here can help though!

All good brother.

I’ll probably set all this up on Friday

No it's free, get obs(open broadcast software) which is also free, as for a powerful PC not so much the case for poker, for gaming yes however the biggest factor will be your internet speed>google speed test and get results you should be more than fine though.

thanks for the heads up.

just need to invest $100 into a good microphone. found out the hard way the **** background noise on twitch from my laptop microphone!

I will be streaming this weekend guys. feel free to add me on twitch - richierichnz1

nice job in the badugi rich

chill with the rebuys, sometimes you gotta accept defeat

Woohoo! Putting it in my calendar!

https://www.twitch.tv/richierichnz1

True that. However if I lose alot of money not playing well, that is hard to accept.

my twitch username has now changed.

this is the link to my site:

That is my online poker introduction! Feel free to watch it and follow me on you tube and twitch https://www.twitch.tv/richierichnz and twitter! https://twitter.com/richierichnz1

Hi Richard, your fans want that stream!
Don't you think playing 3 tourns a day is sick volume?

Amazing intro, Richard. You definitely have a supporter already! I think taking some of the training courses you mentioned to take your game to the next level is a great idea. Will tune in tomorrow.

it will be 4 tournaments a day

Herbalife gives me the energy to play for 12 hours a day.

If you want to know more about the business i'm in, visit my website www.theshakeman.com and if you are interested in increasing your energy levels, feel free to let me know

The truth comes out

Thanks buddy. https://www.runitonce.com/ and https://upswingpoker.com/
are the 2 poker sites i'd recommend for improving your game. Also Daniel Negreanu's poker site is also good to learn from. This is a link to that:

https://www.masterclass.com/classes/...9194951cf7aa72

I can't personally vouch for any of the 3 poker training sites I just mentioned, as I haven't signed up for any of them yet. However I did sign up with Negreanu's Poker VT site 12 years ago which taught me how to play 'the small ball way' in NLHE.

I will probably sign up for runitonce, upswing poker and Daniel's Masterclass once I have won the $55 Sunday Marathon.

Streaming at 6.13am NZT on Saturday. So find out online what time it will be at your place. New Zealand as you may know is ahead of everyone else in the world in terms of the world time, so if you live in the US, it'll be between 9.15am and 12.15pm on Friday and in the UK it'll be about 7.15pm on a Friday night, so if you can make it to the live stream, at anytime during the day, that would be awesome

These are the official times the LIVE streams will start:

https://scontent.fakl2-1.fna.fbcdn.n...1b&oe=5CE055BC

After the tournament, I'll spend about 20 minutes to edit the recorded stream and put a 20 minute highlight package onto my twitch channel for you all to watch.

I hope to help you guys out with any of the poker games you are not good at. I'll be playing all of them with playing the 8 Game, HORSE, Badugi and 5 Card Draw.

Cannot wait for tomorrow!
