Online poker banned.... :-(

so sad right now. Now playing online poker is a felony. People just associate poker to gambling. IT IS NOT GAMBLING! So amazing really. I hate my life right now. What am i going to do with my life? . O well, hopefully i will figure it out.

I am so bad at poker and Burma

Grrrrr. I feel like I cant even play poker these days anymore. I am approximately up 1700 dollars in 10000 hands. Thats about 1.7bb/100. That is downright terrrible. I feel like I am playing super these days. I dont think I am ever playing on stars again. I bought back into UB yesterday and won 3000 and got myself some huge fishes on my buddy list. I also took a shot at 5/10 last night. This one hand I called a raise with 66 against this huge fish. Flop came down 9 3 2. He fires pot. I decided to call seeing what he does on the turn. Turn was a 10. He smashes pot again for 250. I was like WTF? Why would you really do that so fast with a hand? So I put him all in for like 300 more. He instant calls. River Q. He has AQ. Like are u fucking serious? A couple of hand later I won a 2000 pot with KK against 99 on 8445 board. People are just downright terrible. O yea so this big fish was killing me and then he moved table and i was furious. Julian ended up taking him out on a bad beat :-). And this another huge fish, call me all in with one carded ten high flush.... for like 1800 pot. Its soooooo unreal. I am going to start playing 5/10 a little more. I probably got about 1000 hand under my belt now from 5/10 and I am up about 3000! But my night classes start this week so I am going to have less and less time to play poker. How annoying! Yea more family struggling in Burma. Probably going to have to send money to help. Fucking Burma. My uncle's family probably earn about 400 US a month for like 12 people and the funny part is thats way above average. Its so sick. They just got back their business so they need some money. Seriously though, Burma economy is so fucked up. Average GDP for a normal non-goverment related person is probably 25 dollars US a month. I feel so bad. But you can buy any car you want in the country. I have seen mercedes, BMW and other europeans cars all over the road in burma. How do you buy 50 thousand dollar cars with 25 dollar a month? Obviously some people are making a shit load of money. Fucking goverment. If u are a family member of a high ranking army officer, you are bound to have at least 2 houses and 3 cars. One woman I know who was the daughter of a high ranking officer basically made 10 million dollars in one year from her "business". She basically increased the price of all rubber and since there are so much need for it. She made a shit load of money. I just want to go back to the country and fix it. Sad part, I am probably one of the only burmese people here who cares about burma and what is going on. Every burmese people in the US sucks. All they care is about themselves. Not the other or your mother country. One day I will hopefully go back to burma and save the country.

Breaking Even sucks

I have been playing a lot of poker lately. I have probably played over 10000 hands this week and I am breaking even! It is soo annoying. I cant seem to win. I just run into annoying hands and tilt sometimes. I also tried 9 tabling on stars. It was fun. I was running at 800 hands /per hour. But I couldnt really concentrate and my eyes were hurting.I really dont like pokerstars. People are super nits and never play any pots without a good hand and float on me tooooo often. I cannot stand it. I really need to play UB a lot more and get rakeback on UB so that I can get something extra out of playing on UB. I can probably make 1000 on rakeback and it would be nice to have consistent income. Ermer and Julian are runnign sick thoug. Julian won a tourney and is runniug 17bb/100 this month and well ermer is ermer lol. Cello and zach dont have time to play and I just suck at poker! I can feel a good run coming though. I am watching the football on HD with surround sound. Its the illest! I feel like I am actually at the game.

My Laziness got to stop!

ok I am absolutely furious. I have barely played poker last few days. I am so jealous of people playing like 40-50k hands per month while i play 20k hands per month max because I am really lazy. I dont know why. I have so much time in my hand. I really really need to start playing more. It actually have gotten really really annnoying! I am just either sleeping, lying on my bed on the computer or watching TV. I really have nothing better to do. So I might as well play poker. I am going to start logging 1500 hands a day for a week and see how it goes. With 6bb/100, I should obtain the bankroll to play 5/10 a little more comfortably.

Less Poker, More TV

Poker has been going very well for me lately. I havent played much but it looks like i am on a huge upswing. I was hitting all my straight draw flush draws, my sets were filling up and I was even dishing out semi-bad beats. On the right has been my graph for the last 36 days. It has been brutal. I dont have those crazy graphers but i keep track pretty well on excel. I am not too crazy about the amount of hands though. I probably played 25000 hands in that span. My TV is at the bottom. I just did a quick cell phone shot so it doesnt look too great but trust me, its sweet. I decided yesterday it was time for me to get a TV. My TV was a 32 inch semi-old school TV and it was pretty hard for me to see. So i just went and got42" panasonic plasma TV. It is so sweeet.The channels look much bette and that is without the HD BOX from cable subscriber. I am going to go get the HD box sometimes this week and it is going to be so goooood. Nothing like watching favorite shows on high definition. I still need to get surround sound and people to watch it with lol.

I am back bitches!

Downswings are finally over. I feel like i am playing my A+ game now. I went back to UB when i was down. The bet pot button has finally taught me how to be agressive in position preflop again. I was scared to raise for a little bit while playing on stars and party while in position so I was folding a certain amount of hands and I was reraising enough preflop but the bet pot button basically made my game a thousand time better and made me realized what I was doing wrong. I have also been reading a lot of the 2+2 and cardrunner forums to improve my game. By reading those, I can see what other people think about certain hands. Hopefully this can continue and i can make serious run to 5/10.

Bad Run leads to tilt

Sigh classes started a week ago and I am not even close to a normal sleeping schedule. I am asleep most of the afternoon and evening. I would be up all night and I am going to classes piss ass tired. Losing at poker doesnt help either. I have been getting pounced on. I lost 4000 in one day last week. Its pretty annoying to lose that much. It is the most i have ever lost in a day. Next day, I played 3000 hands and was up 1800 at one point. Only to see bad beats come left and right and ended up being even on the day. I almost had a mental break down at one point from these all in preflop with AA and losing them. I played in a live game last friday and it was fun. I believe my live game is much better than my online game but I cannot concentrate live for more than 3 hours. I played well and won about 1000. People were on mega tilt left and right. It was quite a sight. I kind of even feel bad for some people in a way. The next night, I took some bad beats and tilted off about a buy in. I took an hour break and came back and won it all back in an hour. But i lost all my winnigns back the next 30 minutes to people chasing runner runner draw. Some guy called my bet on the flop of AJ 2 1 diamond with 97 of diamonds when i was holding JJ and proceed to catch runner runne diamond. Then someone was in a reaised pot with 87 off and flop a pair on my TT and turned trips to suck out. I took another hour break and came back. Won it all back. Too bad the same thing happend to me again. I lost my biggest pot ever at 2/4. 1600+. This huge fish was playing every hand and donking off thousands with ace high. I picked up QQ in the bb. He raised to 13 and i repop to 50 and he repopped me to 135. I called hoping to see a flop since we were very deep. I check the flop waiting to see what he would d. He grossly made an overbet of 650 dollar all in on 7 2 4 flop. I quickly called. Turn A. River 2. He showed AK and raked in a 1600 pot. I am furious at this point. THen i made some semi bad plays and lost more and i was done for the night. I played some today and i also did run AA into KK and lost. I didnt play much but i won a decent amount so I am happy. I am taking 5 classes this semester and it is kind of a pain. It is hurting my poker playing :-). I will hopefully continue to play my A+ game and get over this hump. O yea, bethesda still sucks balls. Nothing to do! Peace.

Horray

All the debts are finally paid back! I am actually so happy. Now i finally have a real bankroll again! Wooot woot!

Boring week

Sigh, i come here in search of some fun and getting away from poker. Surely neither of those were accomplished. The first few nights were fun as I was wasted. Then school started. I was stuck in the room not being able to go anywhere since I dont have the key card to get me through doors in the school. I tried to play poker. After a few 2 outers and AA gettign crushed by a flush draw twice. i was down 500. I become horribly depressed and not really wanting to do anything. Next day, people were furiously studying and doing their work on second day of school and again I was forced to play poker. I finally had a nice sesssion and won about 1600 dollars. I was also very happy that people paid off half their debt to me. I played for an hour and a half today and won about 650 dollars not bad.
