Taiwan just had its countdown, happy 2007 ppl..
it was going to be a sucky day cuz i'm still kinda sick, my gf is super sick. wanna go party with peter but i think i'll fall back more ill if i go out too late. so it was gona be home alone countdown by myself n my dog for the last seconds of 2006, how depressing.....
well, thank god i have this friend named Ultimate Bet and poker. I decided to play some after I came home from dinner with my family and one of my dad's rich friends. he used to run Ericsson in Taipei and he now drives a porsche and lives in this ballerass crib in downtown. I went over to check out his house today....sick! absolutely sick. I love it. ok yeah but it costs 2 million bucks....errr well there goes my new motivation. I really wana be baller like him....
so I decided to play some poker and make more moneys. I ran well, went up 2 buy ins 100 hands into my session and i paused for like 5 mins to watch the countdown. then I kept playing, lost it all back to just bad spots and continuation bets and a missed flush draw that I pushed, suddenly i'm even. that's ok, I'm gona play better. minutes later, won it all back from the guy who stacked my missed flush and some more. total up 1k. not too shabby
final results of december:
NL(1) - hands 16k, $3.3k made with 5.2 ptbb
NL(2) - hands 20k, $3k made with 7.4 ptbb
total - hands 36k, $6.6k made with roughly $1k from rakeback
I'm really gona be working hard on my life this up coming year. I wana make 2007 my year where I 'make it.' I wanna be playing at the VERY least 1k nl this yr and have a total of over 300k to my name by the end of 07'. and with the goals i listed in the last post, lets add one more: win a seat to WSOP ME or some WPT sxxx and have my parents come with me
anyways, happy new year everyone. lets all make more moneys, stay safe and healthy, and get laid plenty LOL jk

Alright so I haven't been bloggin much as well and I haven't been playing much at all this break
My bankroll however has almost tripled since the 1st week of december and i have actually 85xed my initial deposit since my last busto. ughh i hate to even remember that shiet. I just filtered out my play and it looks like i've actually put in about 18k hands since i got to taiwan, which makes it a lil less than 1k each day...so i guess i haven't been slacking off THAT much.
so..my december results....
hands played: 35k (nl100-20k, nl200-15k)
winrate: @100 = 7ptbb/100; @200 = 4ptbb/100
total $ won = $5435
with about 1k in rakeback...
Not really a bad month considering I have not been up to par with my mental concentration. I think after I get back to the states, I will really set my mind to the grind mode and go ballistic with poker and hopefully do better. Aside from poker I actually have been doing a lot of other things that could potentialy improve my play. I still read CR, 2+2 on a daily basis, still talk to people about poker, and today I just rewatched some of Stinger's videos very carefully and I think I picked up a few things that I want to try out in my next session.
I needa get my Ace on the River back from sh cuz I don't want to play when my mental state is not at least 80%. It's so friggin weird why I play so bad in Taiwan. Maybe its cuz the amount of money I have on the table means a sxxx load to ppl here while its still 'ok' money in the states. either way, this is something I must overcome........
Some new years resolution (poker and non poker)
- sleep earlier (pref b4 1am)
- actually go to class and read on a weekly basis instead of crammin the night before exams
- pass all my classes
- do some kind of exercise at least every other day (golf, swim, bball, boxing watever)
- not play blackjack (or any pit games) and not playin above my limit
- bankroll management - (40 bi's for taking shots, 50 bi's for stayin at the limit)
- have 1 month where I put in 100k hands
- take my bankroll pass 40k by summer (can't rush this tho)
- have more patience with zora
- wake up everyday before 10 at the latest even if i'm free
- become a CR guest pro
- win some more MTT's and join pokerxfactor
that bout it, happy new year to ppl who read this

I'm very pissed right now....
Went on a terrible run today while playing and went down like $900...sure its just a 4 buy in downswing but its still $900.....and since I was thinking like that I ended up tilting away 1k more, at various games like bj and hu cash games....I'm by no means busto but this is definitely a set back
I think ever since I moved up to 200 and have a very big bankroll, I've became a bit reckless with my bankroll management, not in the sense of playing higher limits. but playing side games to chase losses, mainly roulette and the very evil bj. ever since I came back to taiwan, my mentality has not been strong at all, when I go down a lot ($ wise) I tend to go tilty. this has been the same last winter, i'm not sure why. i also have not been able to play anywhere close to how much i played in the states. i'm not sure exactly why...i also tend not to tilt when i play next to peter cuz its just kinda embarrassin to tilt. i know it and i sitll do it which makes it even more retarded....for the time being i think i'm going to play nl 100 at home and play 200 when i'm at sh's house.
one thing that must change is that i need to take my losses in buy-ins and not $'s. if i'm gona be playing nl 200, 1k downswings are bound to happen, heck even 2k downswings will eventually happen....if i think in terms of buy ins, it will be more relevant if i think of dollars and especially if i'm in taiwan, i'm going to have a really tough time taking the losses. its true that if i wana be successful in higher stakes, i gota assign less value to money. instead i must look at them as ammo. i have to become more mentally tough. today's 5 buy in downswing is ok, i did get most of my hands in as a big favorite and i got into a lota bad spots....the 1k downswing at bj....well i did win like 6-800 from bj before on ub, i guess that cancels it out...and yeah i gota stop playing it. just because i have a very big bankroll right now doesn't mean i can go do stupid sxxx with my money..."an ignorant man with his money will soon be apart..."
bankroll at: $12533

Alright, so I've been in Taipei for a day. Been nice to see my family and zora. Poker has been surprisingly great. I decided to do a session earlier today and felt a little uneasy at first. I don't know, I just don't feel as comfortable when I'm playing in Taiwan. But I got situated pretty quickly and went on a pretty nice run of cards. I didn't really hit any huge hands or sets when someone had overpair or whatever, it was mostly about maximizing my expectations/values on marginal hands. Also folding a lot to bets that I think beats me. And UB's 200 has some pretty retarded ppl who pay you off with a lota weird sxxx. well, I think mostly it was because my continuation bet was working, my table image was good, and I didn't really run into any extremely trickly/tough spots which made my session pretty smooth.
I just wrapped up my 2nd session before I head to bed. Played pretty ok. Except at the end, got stacked 3 times within 5 minutes. Once KK lose to 22 on a T 2 5 board, the guy called my 3 bet preflop from the SB with 22....then AJK i had AT got all in with this maniac who was 50bb deep....kinda dumb but this guy was pushing a wide range so i thought I had a reasonable chance I was good......then...I repotted this LAG with AK from BB, he immediately min raises me, which makes me think he had a huge hand....but it was only a min raise so I had to call and take a flop. Flop came A 2 5 rainbow, I intended to check raise all in but he checks behind. turn 2. I checked again with the intention to check raise and the son of bxxxx checks again....(mistake not to bet here....) then the river came a 9 n i pot n he pushes....i know i was kinda no good but i had to call like 50 more in a 150 pot....so I called n he turned over 99. fxxxing hung myself on that one ughh....sxxx.....i was up quite a fxxxing bit on my last session too only to blow like 1/2 of my winnings in those 3 hands...fxxx
well, ended the day +1300 w/out bonuses/rb so pretty decent day. oh and i'm officially in the green now for nl 200. runnig at 0.48 PTBB/100 over 3.1k hands lol and my winrate at 100 is up to 6 over 35k hands.....not looking too bad |
