Good job. It was fun playing with you as well. I had obviously planned on shipping that tournament, but 60th place (or whatever) out of 151 is still pretty awesome. One of these days my kings will hold when Ace 9 shoves 25 big blinds into me preflop, and once I get my hands on a big stack, it's all over.

Nice Bink on the deepstack! Heading to the Rio now, to do work.

Chipstack fever

Tyty! Glgl

Slept till 6pm then played 1/3 at Rio for like 4 hours, JJ got sucked out on by 75dd runner runner boat for $200 so calling it a night and gonna play some more cash tomorrow with my backer after some coaching on appropriate bet sizing.

Sleeping til 6 pm, you already got this lifestyle down pat. I like how you are willing to let it all hang out, best of luck this summer, I'm sure we will cross paths and not realize it!

Booked my biggest win in 1/3 since moving to Vegas. In for $200, out for $404 3 hours later.

My table was pretty ridiculous for a 1/3. $6 straddle every hand period, so I was in heaven. I ordered my usual chocolate milk, and adjusted into my seat. The dealer commented on my order and said he saw me drinking them yesterday. "It's not something you think about often, but it's so good." I smiled big and we talked about why chocolate milk was so good for a few minutes.

I got a feel for the table pretty quickly and after noticing every hand was going to the flop for no less than $15 with a minimum of 3 players I choose to play a tighter image and with the help of some rungood I managed to get my good hands paid off.

I've definitely been putting in the hours on the felt and studying outside of that that. I'm definitely having fun! Hoping to play another tournament soon after I put in some more winning hours playing cash.

A step in the right direction. Keep it going, whatever you are doing, because it's working so far. Poker is a long term thing so keep putting in quality sessions and studying and it will add up day by day and after 6 months you'll see a world of difference.

I saw that you list your occupation as "gypsy". Its been a while , I know. I wrote this when thread was @ post 35 ish..

With spotty comparisons between you and Brandi ITT coupled with the irony that can be interpreted between the article below and said occupation title, I would certainly consider removing that. As you well know by now, and historically prominent on this forum, there is the presence of a select group of relentless pit bulls. Whether your intentions are good or not, Im thinking its probably a good idea to axe the Gypsy title for obvious reasons.

While the article is interesting and informative, it has things that one can connect to this thread that may not necessarily need to be connected in your instance. Occupation gypsy just fuels that fire imo....just a freindly heads up

The timing of your run at NLHoldem stardum is looked at by a few im sure as suspect. Preemptive measures in squashing speculation is optimal

Last post over a week ago. Can we assume this thread is dead? If you are going to end it, give a final recap to let us know if you're still playing and just now writing or if you changed plans and are doing something else.

Good luck in life!

It's not yet been quite a week since my last post lol I've been playing and spending a lot of time enjoying life recently so I haven't gotten a chance to update. I will try to write something up when I get a few moments, hopefully soon!

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far

So the only people to claim to have played with you are new posters.

Hey but she had coffee with the Trooper, LAP

Btw did I meet you at aria last summer briefly in the poker room with Amused or was that s.paul

Played with her

Obviously this comment is at least partially directed at me, so I'll explain my situation. When I sat next to her in the 10PM daily deep stack and heard her answering questions from the other players (everyone always naturally chats up the girl at the table), I remembered her from 2p2 and told her so. I've read LVL occasionally since moving out here in 2012. She jokingly asked me to create an account to praise her snap fold of jacks, so I did.

I've been a sporadic contributor to the P5's community for many years. Not all new posters are lacking credibility. One reason I never joined this forum is that someone once tried to use my screen name to impersonate me on here and beg to be staked, which I found personally distasteful and indirectly damaging to my reputation. To be clear, none of that mess was 2p2's fault at all, and someone from the site actually alerted me to the issue immediately. So when I was asked by the OP to create an account, even if she was only kidding, at this point it's been so many years later that I figured "sure, why not?"

The OP played very well that night, and more importantly, had the right attitude at the table. If she continues along that path, she'll be just fine.

if your biggest win since being in vegas is $204 your should prob choose another profession

3 hr 1-3 session at Rio +$404* but yea, your probably right.. Maybe I'll just try to go be a ballerina. I mean,.. why not right? :P

A blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

Josh Reid if you have nothing nice to say....

Must be annoying to have so many haters, probably accounts for the infrequent updates to some extent.

Take a shot at the omaha H/l games even if all you've played is Big O I'd imagine with a few adjustments and study (super system?) you could do well against that player pool.

The Omaha H/L games can be very spewy but they are super swingy, higher variance games than you might expect a limit game to be. I don't think she currently have the bankroll to survive the variance of that game in Vegas right now. She should stick to what she's been playing, especially with all the extra cash game action in Vegas right now

I enjoy mixing it up, sometimes playing one game type over and over can get stale. Surely a few sessions at 4-8 or even 8-16 wouldn't be too far out of consideration if she's currently playing 1-2nl texas.

A.C there are some fairly bad regulars who would come week after week to spew off racks, could be the same at Orleans?

Please disregard the advice to try other games. Play couple thousand hours of no limit holdem first (both cash and small tournaments you've been playing will do). Then, once you have a solid grasp on NLHE, you can venture out into other games *if you feel like it*.

It's probably time to let you guys know I'm still alive and still playing in Vegas

The last 2-3 week's (not sure how long it's been) have really challenged my mental game in life and in poker.

I'm gonna make a long story short as I'm in the middle of a session.

I had a (-$500) session at the 1/2/5 Big O in pavilion tonight already. The game was great, my backer is ok with how I played but the variance is annoying so I'm gonna grind it out in 1/3 for a few hours.

I've played a couple small tournaments. There was a 7pm nightly at Golden Nugget I played where I was crippled when my QQ got cracked by 83hh, then lost a race next hand AJo aipf to K7s.

Played the 10pm deepstack again but lost AK to AQ aipf 5mins into 3rd level.

I've mostly been playing cash, and also taking a lot of personal time.

I've been to the hospital twice this week as well. The first time was after hitting a 9 leg baseball parlay $7 to win $2200 which resulted in an altercation with the person I was living with where I was shoved into the doorway of an elevator. This caused my ribs to become bruised along with a gigantic bruise on my thigh.

A day later I was having severe pain and trouble breathin, and after spending the day in the ER they informed me that I have a abnormally large amount of ovarian cysts. Won't know how big of a deal that is until I see the doctor on the 2nd of July.

I probably missed a bunch of personal ****, but honestly I'm just focusing on poker. I'm playing well, and I'm also doing well outside of the couple bad days I've had.

Earlier this week I questioned humility because I was told the humble don't win. I no longer question it because I know it's wrong.

I Appreciate the advice, and I'm reading all the posts although I've not had time to respond. Hoping to be able to post more in the coming weeks as I have hopes that life will give me a break soon

With roomates like that I would rather live in a cardboard box...

GL and hope you pull thru the slump.

Thank you, I hope I do too but I feel like I'm not so much in a slump as I'm in a possibly semi-self depreciating mind set.

So for a comparative instance, I'm developing expectations of coming up short (whether it be in life and/or poker) and that's what is happening. I played 1 buy in at the 1/3, I get QQ on the button and open for $25. 3 callers then the flop falls 79Tr... it checks around to me and I lead for $50 1 call, 2 folds. Turn comes 9 and guy who chalk called checks again (Obvi uber suspicious so I check behind.. river comes blank, he makes a **** face then shoves and I hate my life and call, guy turns up 77.. and I almost feel like it's my fault I got cracked but I can't find a real reason to feel that way..?. .. hmmm roommate sitch doesn't make me feel as off as that. Honestly not getting into any further details about things aside from poker at this point bc I really dgaf to be honest lol
