the most important skill for 100fr is getting away from coolers. If you are really playing that nitty people will realize it and take advantage. If your red line is negative (sounds like it is) then you will slowly bleed money and just coolered while the pros avoid your coolers.

From what i have seen of your posts i suggest you drop down a stake or table select really really well. 50nl is infinitely easier. If you are only 4 tabling anyways your hourly will be best 4 tabling 50nl zoom rather than 4 tabling 100 regular

Got caught up reading the last few pages i forgot why i came here.

I am probably going to do the apt event 14-20 if anyone else might be going or have any tips please let me know. I have done no research on the hotel or anything.

i might give the .25-.50 a shot i guess, but i still think the .50-$1 games are plenty beatable and im probably up couple hundred, this is on party so no zoom option, plus its while multitabling mtts so cant handle the fast pace of zoom while multitabling

thing is they consider raising to 3xbb with AA and losing to a set a cooler, or AK flopping a pair vs a set a cooler, i never stack off in those spots, if im getting all in with 1 pair AA or KK postflop its after getting 15%+ of my stack in pre, and im almost never stacking off with AK unless against extreme fish

Sorry that advice was entirely for pokerstars.

for the most part it holds true for party also, as far as it mostly being about avoiding coolers

other than the rare uberfish that comes in and stacks off in 10 minutes the only way to win big pots is to outflop someones big pair

i did it in PLO a lot, in january at the venetian they changed the structure to a $200-$1000 buy in, "$1-$2" game, but with a $5 bring in and $10 button straddle it played as big or bigger than the 2-5 game, in theory it was a shortstackers dream and i thought i was getting a late xmas present


3 weeks later after losing 1/3 of my life bankroll while constantly getting it in +ev spots preflop i had to give it up, basically go up to casino, buy in for $200, limp for $10, someone raises to $40 3 people call i go run a race getting 1.5+ to 1, run it twice most of the time, get scooped, do it again, get scooped again........ i really hate that game with a passion
I love the V game and now it's so much softer (when it goes) since lots of the PLO grinders left town.

Cashed out 4.5k last Friday (in for 2k). I once saw a guy sitting on a stack of about 20k ... super sick for a 1k max buyin game where lots of people sit w < 500.

K2d - PLO isn't really the game for a shortstacking nit as it's a high variance game where the edges are mainly postflop and a lot of money is won through selective aggression.

i dunno man, "in theory" buying in for $200 in that game should be extremely plus ev when you can limp in the co after a bunch of limpers, the button pumps it up to 55, get 3 or 4 callers, you go all in and the button repots leaving you heads up

you are getting 1.5-2 to 1 to run a race, again in theory thats about as good of a spot as you are gonna be getting in todays ever tougher poker world


how often does that PLO go? couple times a week? what about big 0? ever at the venetian? does the 1-3 PLO at aria still go every day?


sigh headache afuggingain, last 3 weeks ive only had 3 or 4 days that had no headache at all, luckily they have all been pretty mild, but still grinding with a headache is not easy or fun, at least its not quite as bad online as it is live

naw the last time was my own fault, i dont consider resteal shoving on a guy with 4 2 to be a mistake on my part (he was on uber tilt after donking off a lot of chips like 4 hands before i gave him zero respect as obv he didnt deserve any) (and yes i realize you were joking but still gave a serious reply)


so i go down to the beach semi-headached and semi-tilty, walk by the bars on the right, theres a girl that works at charlie harpers who i mentioned was totally eyefooking me when i was there months ago that ive kinda wanted to get with, but she isnt so outstanding that i have to instantly ship it more just keep her as the backup plan (though at some point i need to get with that)

so nothing else catches my eye over there so i head over to dolphin and this girl ive seen on the streets and is borderline age wise hits me on the arm, i say hey and keep walking but when i stop to check out the scene in dolphin she comes over

body way better than i had previously thought now that she was revealing some of it, face is meh, but i can tell she would be some good fun and obv is wantin some of this

she asks where im going i say dunno (cuz i dont) she asks if i wanna walk down to JJs i say ok, the whole time im trying to figure out if she is over/under 18 as "the damage done" has my paranoia at an all time high (and thats really saying something)

she claims 20, i dunno though, the boobs are rather large so that makes me think she probably is over 18, face doesnt look that young either, i dunno i guess its just that she acts really young

anyways i decide to pass, and then instantly run into the lady from the other night who i said had probably the best ass ive been with over here (not a probably, confirmed best now)

she is my post shack girl debauchal favorite, meaning of the 7 girls ive been with since that month deal blew up in my face i like her the best by a wide margin

ass actually has stretch marks on it even though she hasnt had a baby, wonder if she was fat???? who knows but even with them it is still fanfuggintastic

she also is very adamant about condom usage, was one of the first things she asked me when i asked her if she wanted to come back the other night, said she ALWAYS makes guys wear them, and then tonight she actually for some weird reason (if i understood her with the language barrier correctly) thought i was re-using a condom from last night???? i dunno what that was about........ ya im cheap, and i guess it really shows, but that cheap??

anyways because of how i truly believe she always has had guys wear condoms obv i beg and beg and beg and offer more money to go in without but she wont do it

got her number, much more begging to come hopefully i can break her down

she also said no to a 3some, i told her she could pick the girl but still no

oh and she saw the girl i thought might be to young and said she knows her and that she is definitely over 18, but that she is trouble and if gets drunk or smokes ice can get really really crazy

so obv im gonna do the wise thing and hit that at some point

only 1, but she is back home farming until mid november

(no really, she is, when she was here she would tell me if she was going with other guys and how much they paid her and enough stuff that i believe that she isnt just in PP banging around, if she was doing that she would tell me)


i wanna not use c's but its pretty crazy to do with most of these girls, but the one tonight i am so sure always uses em that it makes me want to not sooooooooooooo bad

Not worth the risk mate, HIV aside even nasty stuff like Hep B is really easy to catch.
Living in Cambodia and turning Pro Quote

Hep B is about as nasty as Chicken Pox, Measles or the Flu. 95% of people who get it make a full recovery and are immune for the rest of their life. You can also get a vaccination for it if you're really worried.

Not saying that it isn't a horrible disease, but it mostly horrible for newborn babies that get it, since their immune systems haven't developed enough to fight it off.

Every time I feel sick about the girls I've barebacked in SE Asia, you always make me feel better Spiv.

i have a bad liver so any hepatitis is something i really dont need to be getting, im not even allowed/supposed to take hepatitis shots, so being over here where it is so prevalent probably isnt wise, but F it

been with 20 girls here and only barebacked the one because A) she was/is my favorite and B) i trust her when she says that she had recently been tested and didnt have anything

maybe i got HIV, who knows, but i do know that it doesnt burn when i pee at least


i use judgement, if a girl is likely to be clean i will give it a go, this new one is so adamant about condom usage i think she is so i would gladly go in without, but most of them out here i wouldnt risk it with


there is a guy here who has been in asia for 12 years, he NEVER wears condoms and says he has only caught an STD twice and that neither was a big deal

he says his trick is he uses coconut oil as lube and drinks a teaspoon every morning, who knows if it works or if he is just really lucky, but thats a pretty good rate of succes for over 12 years

particularly since he goes to places like the chicken farm where girls get done 10 times a day and goes rubberless there, that is friggin insane imo but he's gotten away with it for a really long time



on the way to the gym today i walked past water buffalo A who was up on the road, was like 4 feet from him we had a lil chat, then i keep walking and water buffalo B is staring at me, i stop and ask whats up, he squares himself and does some weird stuff with his head, was the first time i thought one of them might actually charge me

but i wasnt scared cuz i trained for UFC for like 2 years so he wouldnt stand a chance

I know guys who go around bragging about never using condoms and say they have never caught anything, I personally think they are full of ****.

I can think of 2 people that have both comfortably BB'ed over 1k hookers including usually up the arse too and never ever use condoms, they both maintain they have never caught anything. They are also regular visitors to AC, I know a lot of guys that go to AC and they tell me there is a lot of clap going around there, far worse than the other expected places, but these guys maintain they have never caught a thing there either.

I think most of them are def. FOS

The ones who really do bareback all the time probably won't brag about it because it would likely lead into them talking about the STDs they've caught.
Living in Cambodia and turning Pro Quote

They could have caught things and not known about it. Not every person who gets an STD displays obvious symptoms. If they did, they'd probably be eradicated by now since people would immediately go to the doctor whenever they got one.

Yeah but your not gonna BB 1000+ hookers including most of them up the arse including in AC where its apparently rife, and not catch something that has symptoms from time to time.
