Yeahhh I lolled at that... wtf :f_eek:

& Fongie just picked up some thought-while-writing mistake :] obvious I ran like fuck a la COD MW/Black Ops style. :]

My legs are still hurting but hey it is good practice & I walk everyday to school which basically is this:
4 stories stairs -> 1.5km to University -> 4 stories up walking or down -> walking around lunch -> again 4 stories up/down -> 1.5km back -> 4 stories up

So I only have to train my waist & arms

Seems my Runbad in poker also got transferred to the Dutch national football team. That seems okay so I don't have to tilt now since everyone in Holland is just running bad...

Airplane = GG
Car is maybe better but still borderpolice can/will stop u
Letter = semi-GG as the guy who receives it is probably screwed

used to work a bit close to Tilburg and I was sending letters home.
It is more of a semi bluff line as I got 50% of the letters.

I will crosspost from another blog but First

I have found the real Prodigy. a DJ who is fourteen year old and already has a GrandSlam (Tophit of the week @ Dutch Radio) and sounds like Avicii:

I thought it was Tim Berg at first but man this guy can make sounds.. too bad he can't drink Grey Goose or Moet&Chandon yet

It's been awhile me blogging here.

@4.-old-logo.png" alt="" loading="lazy" />

Firstly Arsenal, Go Gunners! versus Marseille, I watched this match with 2 French Marseille fans in a good old Irish Pub with a Guinness in my hand. Last minute BAM! the whole pub goes mental (Chelsea already won x-0 where x is greater than 4 :P)
YouTube click!

But let's go back to Poker. Lately my motivation to play SH NLHE just dropped a lot. Basically not wanting to analyze, not want to play means I am actually not productive at all. I do want to study but what is that going to earn me? nothing. exactly!

So I was thinking whether to take up a new game. MTTs? PLO? HU NLHE? There are pros and cons to all three new games. I quickly discarded MTTs because I want to have flexible times. HU NLHE doesn't sound to be very fun if I hear stories of 200NL++ HU players

So I want to raise the stakes and challenge myself through this tilt-train high-variance speed variant called Pot Limit Omaha.

I first asked some advice from PLO players and they basically gave me the same stuff to start with. I have a couple of video series to study, theory and the hands I play where I have no clue create a basic understanding of what I should do. I love it.

It is you just start a complete new game so you play ridiculous bad and you only can grow. I just played my first session on Ongame PLO and dude to quote Sak Noel's song' 'what the fuck'.

I played the best I can but absolute speaking that would be like a 40% rating with too many 2nd barrels (probably), too many calls and too few 3bets.

Basically I was interested ''What is my equity?'' which is the way to go and a good sign of progress. I need to - ofcourse - know equities of certain situations. Thankfully my affliate has created a sort of Omaha pokerstove which is in beta but works pretty good I must say.

I'm not sure if I should look at the EV-line at Omaha HEM now but I think it is the same as with shortstacking: the more you go AI, the more reliable the EV-line becomes due showdown.

Anyways some LOL_U_SUCK_Gerv hands I played:

I think within a couple of weeks I can move up to 50NL. Obvious I am rolled for like 200PLO but just like I didn't moved up to $2/4$ NLHE ; I want to prove myself that I can beat up the people so bad

I have a long road to go but I am definitly motivated & dedicated to perform.

Lifewise here in Dublin, I didn't found a partycrew yet but I think all first-year international students have this problem who study fulltime (not erasmus/exchange). The classes//lectures are interesting though!
This year I have

  • Marketing
  • Communications in Business
  • Business Organisation
  • Business Maths
  • Economics
  • IT

Basically I already did Economics and I am begging them to give me exemption.

Marketing is superawesome, I have one of the best teachers for this subject. Interactive, Me relating it back to Poker & Behaviour hm <3

Business Organisation is vital but the teacher is dull and just annoying me since I use my laptop to look up extra info but she sees it as Facebook.. b*tch!

Business Maths is.... Statistics, Standard dev, expected value & algebra. >.<

IT is HTML coding, what is a computer etc.

Communications in Business is quite an interesting thing but at the same time you are like ''what are we learning here :P '

I think I typed enough, sorry I didn't cashed in a $35k bad beatjackpot like Brian did :P thumbs up, hats off for him :P :f_love:

Ok Gerv here we go, lol!

H1 nh
H2 WFT? When the BB raies FOLD! you think a fl dr and sod all else is good here!

H3 Obv if you bet you're committed but do you really want to do this with a Qhigh fl dr and a pair of ducks? Maybe should think 1st B4 raising that here. :) Stacks

I hav eno doubt you're way outa my league but I kill micros by not getting to 'mathsy and equitysy' ...no wot I mean?
Very very basic lay like rock and be at plo50 in days. :)

P.S. You're a class player and I'm a micro so I know you wont be offended but will analyze and explain.

AT PLO100 or PLO 500 or woteva fine but here? NA. Baby stuff gets the bucks.
GL and have fun! :f_cool:

looking forward seeing you on my tables gervinho :f_love:

hand 1. c/c turn > b. think about why yourself

hand 2. dunno where you learned that, but it's pretty wrong/spewy/bad b/f flop or - and this is a very good hand for it (again, its on you to think about why that is) - check back flop, call any turn and decide river.

hand 3: nh

btw: be on in skype sunday eve to talk about new year's eve ;)

I actually dislike my hand 3 because I didn't payed attention to his stack and I am more dead than alive there

in Hand 1 on the Turn I am like errr, will he play GTO if I check to him? At the time I didn't knew that he played 70/32 or something retarded than that (FYI every table I was playing on had at least 1 85/x++ player )

I still think I can get called by worse and don't think worse is going to bet when I check. If he checks back Turn hmm problem with PLO is that every new card is a new ballgame

Hand 2: check back just like JTx, QJx, 98x boards just because it hammers his range huh and realize equity since he rarely c/c & c/f ?
