Hey guys I found a new feature in PT3 which allows you to produce graphs upside down. Pretty cool imo since I've never seen anything like this.

I've been playing poker for 1 year (approx. 250,000 hands lifetime), I learned the rules and stuff last christmas. I began at 0.02/0.04 limit on stars and played that with a $5 bankroll that I busted until I got a bankroll of $100 in about March, and began learning nl2 while going to college. Not that that's hard but I didn't have that much time to play, I'm sure many ssnl players have logged way more lifetime hands than me. Also I was at nl10 for like 4 months or something, I had about $1k going into september and I was quite pleased with the progress I made after that point. Maybe I ran good I'm not sure, but I really don't think I did, the biggest "heater" I've ever had was 14 buyins in 1 friday night at nl100.

I have about 10k at the moment playing 1/2. I had 12.5k at the start of December. Took a shot at 2/4 for 9k hands, lost 10 buyins, was down about 8-10 buyins in allin EV according to this tool, Idk how this really works, I don't have HEM, I was using http://www.pokertracker.com/forums/v...693d269edb98ab for pt3. I then tilted, moved down to 1/2, played many tables trying to hit supernova, started playing terrible and doubting my play, and was down a total of 6k in EV including from 2/4 in only the month of December.

I actually went down to $4800 at one point when I decided 14 tables was way too many for me, and I was very upset. If wakeboarderr can do it, good for him. Anyway I was playing breakeven poker and getting terribly unlucky doing it. Around Christmas I was at about $6k and still 6k down in EV. I spent the rest of december and january so far studying and working on my game to get back to where I am, and I've been playing great with 4-8 tables.

You are correct, I am not going for supernova elite. I know wakeboarderr slightly, we've talked on aim, I wasn't saying anything bad about him, I was asking him an honest question. If he does go for supernova elite this year then good luck to him. As I said before, I honestly do not know how much SNE is worth, but for me I would not be able to do it at this time and keep my sanity.

I don't know where I'll be in 1, 3, or 12 months, especially on my own, but if any ssnl reg actually puts in the studying/practicing time trying to improve it is definately possible to beat msnl, and if not, with a coach's help it would probably be easy game. Since he said he had a coach, I figured maybe if he played less tables and focused on improving, he could go far pretty quickly.

I'm still down $5480 in EV too since end of november and I've played 65k hands, wtf is this?? I'm so jealous of you guys who run hot!

haha, were you drunk.

Two of those are not like the others.. But 20 buck is my hero.

where is greggy's yearly graph?

i had 45ss and was gonna call if fish doesnt call. i dont fold trips!

arvid lets do some sort of small propbet who plays more hands and /or wins more for the rest of the month. gotta keep myself motivated and im kinda slackin atm and i think u are too
btw im not planning on makin SNE.

mbn

yeah good idea. im also propbetting alot with dennis, so maybe we can integrate him :P

add me in ICQ : 196788970

lol i have aim, skype and msn but no icq. PM me for details

*** SECRET ***

Coaches are a scam. They only thing they are good for is making you be accountable. If you are paying someone money you are less likely to spew/tilt, you are more likely to play your best because you want the coach to succeed. It's much like a "life coach"

It just adds accountability and personal responsibility.

These are things that you can easily accomplish on your own if you can objectively look at your game and try to figure out what you need to improve in.


Moral of the story; unless you're a weakminded donk - don't get a coach. Coaches are for people who are never going to succeed.


btw im taking on students, pm for details.

Assuming that was even true, do you think that you can learn important poker concepts more quickly on your own than if your friend was the best poker player in the world and he enjoyed giving you daily lessons for free?

I don't really see the point of your post, maybe some coaches suck? Find one who can actually tell you where to improve your game?

wat..

whats mbn?

being coached def. helps

I think having a coach is just like having a teacher in any other kind of class. imo you can pretty much learn everything that you would learn in a regular class on your own if you really put the time and effort into it, but having a teacher there helps you learn the material much faster and more easily.

Do you believe that religion is a crutch for weakminded people?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. I've never gotten coaching, but I think there are definitely some other benefits besides the "life coach" aspects in having an expert in your field observe you firsthand.

fml, why i did i buy the 4k bonus when i knew all my time would be filled with christmas/family stuff? now i need to clear another 25k vpps in the next 6 weeks, gonna have to play more tables than i'm capable of and probably gonna go broke.

meh, just email scotty, hes reasonable

must be nice ldo

std?

i still dont fold cause im bad but yes

Ignorance is bliss.

I disagree. THere is some stuff that people just don't get, no matter how much you study on your own. Like when Krantz was coaching me, a hand came up when I knew guy was 3-bet bluffing but I had air. He says very naturally, just cal the 3-bet and bet 1/10 pot on turn.
