One Bet At A Time - 2014...Incredible [Boomer2k10's Blog]

New Video out today on one of my favourite topics:

http://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/29560

Should actually be useful even to those of you who don't play FL as it deals with what I consider to be one of the biggest obsticles to your poker development and possibly a problem we've been dealing with, even from an educational standpoint for too long now

I think I might enjoy my new D&D promo stuff tonight

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

Crusader Kings 2 is amazing but it's also F***KING BRUTAL!!

If I have to see "King Malcolm of Scotland. I Lord Pompous Asshole of Lothian declare you a pretender and f**k you I'z got an ARMY!!" one more time I swear...

Dunno what it is with me and challenging games...XCom, Crusader Kings II, Europa, LHE...

Any thoughts?

Masochism? I think it's all clear at the LHE part...

BTW you'll get used to the civil wars pretty quickly, you'll have way bigger problems, like "The pope excommunicated you by the request of King Dingdong from Sweden." Next second: "King Dingdong of Sweden declares war on you, because you're excommunicated." - Sure, it had to do with me not being the best Christian, was it?...

I think it's the faction thing which threw me off because, unlike plots, you can't just ask them to stop so I'm afraid the lovey-dovey approach isn't going to work

Iron Maiden it is!!

Actually I've found some great ideas for being tyrannical in the game, it usually involves Imprisoning and banishing anyone who looks at you funny and arranging matriarchal marriages for your vassals so you end up with a new court who don't realise what a bastard you've been in the early game and now you have a huge gold reserve and no-one's scheming...yet

So much for poker

Maddy and I decided to play Crusader Kings II for a bit....

Then I decided to stream it

Oh dear

Might involve madorjan making a horse a councilperson due to him trying to be truthful to life and making himself a genius lunatic

For those that missed it the coaching with myself and madorjan is currently active on Twitch. I'm really happy with how it went and we even got a 15 minute maddy-rant on Way Ahead/Way Behind

Ran like God at the tables earlier...sorta hit draws at least, is that running like God? Either way things are going ok at the moment and just kicking back and doing some work at this end in order to keep developing and getting better content bought to you guys across the entire community.

Well this is a thing

I'll appreciate the bonus FPPs at least

Appreciate Stars are wanting to push the boat a little, maybe concentrate on some non-NLHE game, but then again always got to know that NLHE is the bread and butter becasue it's popular

Hey guys

Been a while since I updated but quite a lot has been going on away from the poker world for me but one thing happening in it is that I'll be spending Mid-August to mid-September in Gibraltar which I'm really looking forward to

Feel like the coachings I've taken over have been doing pretty well but in addition to that madorjan and I have decided to start a stream which, based on feedback etc, we may turn into a weekly thing to add a little bit more FL into people's lives

First test stream will be tonight at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET) on my Twitch TV channel (Boomer2k10). We'll be discussing a few things from the poker world and then reviewing both a micro session for you guys around there and then moving on to a HUHU game madorjan and I recently played vs each other

On that note...maddy and I may need a rubber match now...that could be fun

Should also have a private coaching thread up soon as well for those who have asked, I know it's been a long time coming but I really haven't had much time recently and been swamped but I've finally put something together and after approval should be live

Say what? Free coaching-style stream? Count me in... oh... wait...♦

will this be recorded too???

so us from South America can watch it???? ♦

Yup

http://www.twitch.tv/boomer2k10/b/435806923

that's last night's broadcast and I'll move it to Youtube over the next day or two

For anyone who didn't know:

Multi-street calculations are hard

Trying to come up with balanced ranges when we have to under-fold one street leading us to over-fold another is bloody difficult and not what I want to be doing on weekends

Also yay new Internet installed which also hopefully means...

RANDOM AMERICAN SPORTS!!

I run good at Star Trek Online at least!!

2 attempts aaaaand...

w00t

That's a 1-in-250 shot about so I should probably play as much poker as possible while this lasts right?

Well it's also time for my and maddy's stream again tonight. More hijinx and also looking to bust some myths...although maddy want to call it "Bullshit Buster".

He's not one for sugarcoating is he?

It'll be tonight on Twitch (Boomer2k10) at 8pm GMT (9pm CET)

Watching the replay and the sound is horrible. boomers voice sound strange and there is a pretty loud noise

The content is really good though, a bit advanced thinking for me atm, but still learning.

I think that may of come from when Skype Crashed on me first time round.

It may have started recording on the wrong mic....hmm that's annoying

But we'll fix that for next time, we're still very much learning to work Skype and Xsplit without them heavily arguing

Will fix it though

Hopefully you enjoyed the content you were able to follow

Also...

I BEAT MADDY!!!

Well actually we both sucked because we went into "no mercy" mode with the hands we gave each other

I demand rematch!

Not sure what happened with the audio, it sounded perfect on my speakers... but for next time, I'll get some decent headset, maybe that will solve the problem.

So I owe you a HUHU match and a "HH Review Game Of Being Evil" game too?

Man you're so demanding ♦

Hi boomer!
So I downloaded Star trek online and started playing, inspired by your posts earlier.
I have 1 simple question:
how do a hard core sci-fi fan, trekker and former MMO player quit?

You never do

Your only hope is that the game has no endgame (i.e. it's just 10-15 minute STF grinding) and you can therefore get away from it....otherwise you become like we and start thinking of thing like "Speedrun: PUG vs Fleet Challenges"

If you're interested in joining the fleet I'm in hit me up in game, I'm @theboominator

I've also gotten into Scrolls recently: I'm HappyAccountant on there....FML

In other news leaving for Gibraltar on Monday, going to be spending a month working with the lovely staff at pokerstrategy...and the monkeys....although hopefully they won't be in the office

Then again...poker players...

hmmm

Been in Gibraltar for two days and can say it's bleeding warm!!

Laptop overheated twice last night while I was trying to do the coaching so apologies for that and I'll extend next week's coaching when I get access to Pokerstrategy's recording room which is a bit more air conditioned

But overall brilliant weather and enjoying myself at the moment, think I'll be cactching up on some sleep tonight though now I've acclimatised a bit
