[x] Shooting Footage for Video

As it's double PartyPoints day, I will playing extensively and as much as I can ♦

Anyway it is also time for me to shoot some footage for a SSS Video NL25. It's still basic strategy with some adjustments, I shot a 15 minute video with some interesting hands yesterday but I will continue shooting footage untill I think Ive got enough (probably 2 videos left to record from camtasia)

Yesterday I didnt played much since I had to buy presents for friends due St. Nicholas. Afterwards we were all tipsy and stuff ♦ So its a Sunday Hangover for me basically

Cheers

It's from COD4 but all those fragmovies are made in the same manner and thank god Im not a fragmovie producer

[x] From Second to None

The 7th of December is the start of the double PartyPoints for PokerStrategy! Weeii! So I played twice as much to get twice as much points meaning I get Four times as many points as I usually do

With the limited amount of time, I managed to play 1.1k hands instead of like 600 or 700 hands but hard work didn't paid off in the end. Well it's all BBV after all

The first session was a really unique session in the sense of ''I Flop Good holdings'' in Freeplays, they paid of most of the times because I was playing against fishes on Fishy tables but I show you that later on.

Concerning hands, there were like 5 freeplays hands that I cashed in but I only will show 2. They happened at the beginning of the first session so around 3 CET Afternoon. Time interval was I think around 4 minutes:

Known players:
[tg]Position_Stack:hands/vp$ip/RaisePreflop/AF/WTS/ORL/BBvsSteal/W$SD;SB$34,72:1.577/46 /10 /1,3/28 /34 /47 /50 ;Hero$9,25:///////;MP1$44,16:08/38 /0 /-/0 /-/-/-;MP3$20,99:02/100 /0 /0,4/100 /-/-/0 ;CO$50,00:4.429/17 /6 /2,0/24 /17 /87 /53 ;BU$31,80:393/45 /5 /1,1/37 /13 /0 /42 ;[/tg]
0,25/0,5 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K♠, 9♦. MP1 posts a blind of $0,50. MP3 posts a blind of $0,50.
2 folds, MP1 checks, MP2 folds, MP3 checks, CO calls $0,50, BU calls $0,50, SB calls $0,25, Hero checks.

Flop: ($3,00) K♦, T♣, K♥ (6 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP3 bets $0,50, CO folds, BU calls $0,50, SB folds, Hero raises to $2,00, MP1 folds, MP3 calls $1,50, BU calls $1,50.

Turn: ($9,00) 2♠ (3 players)
Hero bets $3,50, MP3 calls $3,50, BU folds.

River: ($16,00) 3♦ (2 players)
Hero raises $3,25 (All-In), MP3 calls $3,25.
Final Pot: $22,50
Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows three of a kind, kings (Ks 9d)
MP3 shows two pairs, kings and tens (3h Td)

Nonetheless I think the other hand was way more funnier in terms of Stats and Fold Equity

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2♦, 2♣
6 folds, CO calls $0,50, BU calls $0,50, Hero calls $0,25, BB checks.

Flop: ($2,00) 2♥, 8♠, 9♦ (4 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0,50, CO calls $0,50, BU calls $0,50, Hero raises to $2,50, BB calls $2,00, CO calls $2,00, BU calls $2,00.

Turn: ($12,00) 4♥ (4 players)
Hero raises $6,50 (All-In), 3 folds.

Final Pot: $18,50

Hero shows three of a kind, deuces (2:d 2:c)

At both times, No Limit $0.25/$0.5 was Very fishy on PartyPoker, sad to see myself leaving them because from Thursday on, I will be terrorizing PokerStars !, just for the sake of goodies I want to get by playing at them.

I also think Nl100 PartyPoker is rather nitty and tight compared to Nl50 so moving up to Star's is better for me. Also the playerbase, well we all know PokerStars' playerbase is huge compared to Party's.

But to give you an insight of how Fishy a Nl50 FullRing Table on PartyPoker can be:

More on PokerStars: I cashed out at Titan to give me a reload bonus on Party to clear that in 2 days, then I will be moving to Stars in order to enjoy that double points action as well :], I hope it all works out.

What to say more? Don't know, this day was all ShortTermVariance or BBV, whatever you want to call it. (Flips, Fishes with Holdings they hit, Aces Cracked, Reads)
I will continue my stream of fire tonight.

Oh and it has just been leaked out that I will aid DeKuip with his Basic SSS Coaching on Thursday Evening 21:00 CET ♦ Leo, if you read this, I know you are sometimes a crazy guy with a Vodka bottle but this could be sick lol, naw love you dude ♥

Any questions or suggestions or remarks or what-ever-you want to type, feel free to spam

Well , I will give you the download link of it, I watched it, it just adds an extra effect at the top left, quite cool I must say:

1) Register at Tek-9.org, free and fast
2) Go to http://www.tek-9.org/cinema/luckeR_-_Too_Lucky-193.html
3) Just above the Youtube movie (you can watch that one too, its streamed)) you can press download, and then it will download

I will try without popcorn ♦

wow

I havent visited your blog for a while Gerv, great to see you doing so well though. Good stuff

Can't wait for the vid Gerv!

Is it possible you could cover the basic using of stats as well. Especially concerning deviations from the SHC, i.e. reads.

cheers!

Ah, FPS Frag movies, takes back to good old Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory times. From there, one of the best videos were Winghaven: Out of the way (Megaupload link and Youtube.com) and Winghaven: Out of the way 3 - Renaissance.

BTW, that lucky was so lucky because he was using aimbot and wallhack imo O.o (the crosshair was moving suspiciously).

Oh and just a side note, Estonians were the best Wolf: ET players in the world ^^ (we had unbeatable team with the best player in the world from my school), the team name was idle.ee, u can check one of their match trailer here.

Will download them, thanks!

Oh-No Lucker aint cheating, I played several times against him on COD2, and he plays very well on LANs, he is just.. lucky
In fact, you can download my fragmovie of Call of Duty 2 there as well

Just a pity that all those cod2/cod4 movies are soooooo boring.

And I was on the LAN where he made those kills, really did look like a cheat though.

And timu, idle.ee = old Dignitas or something?

Yes, it was idle.ee then changed to Dignitas due to sponsors.

[x] New Challenges In Front Of Me!

Facing challenges is a Poker Player everlasting goal.

How long has it been since I updated my Posts? 2 days? ages? centuries? At least too long for me to let you guys waiting!

I had a hard decision to make but I made the transfer to Stars altogether with my whole bankroll (left some on MB, no worries.) This means that I cashed out at Titan and at PartyPoker. at Titan I had like $166 when I begun with a $50 free bankroll from another affliate back in the days.

I made a statement when I played for the very last time on Nl50 winning again a solid profit of 85bb on NL50 in 564 hands :).

I am going to play as of tomorrow on Stars NL50 FR with 60 Buyins on NL50 and I will move up the limit whenever I reach the 40 buyins needed for Nl100. I want to stabilize on Stars Nl50 first since Party's level on Nl50 is just as if you were playing against 9 anonymous gamblers.

I think the level of Stars plus the getting used to the software of Stars and Elephant will have a small impact on my playing style but I think with enough information (database) and increasing amount of knowledge, I think I will manage to go up

Necessary table/chip mods have been downloaded to let the layout I had on Party be as similar as possible on PokerStars.

I hope I will get at least 1k VPP in this month to buy some goodies and to clear my $100 FDB

I also made it to a Temporary coach on the Dutch Community where I will be give my SSS Coaching today together with DeKuip *YAY!* I like it.

According to my statistics, from the day I went down from Nl100 to Nl50 on PartyPoker, my profit was a total of: 302 big blinds exact! , could be more if I played on but the new VIP system is killing me.

ofcourse I cashed in my bonus points at Party before it switched and I got a whopping $150 out of that, thanks for coming!

30 minutes to go for my coaching so I will wrap this post up with a selfmade picture ♦

Tomorrow or the day after Tomorrow, you will get a blog post you are used to with Graphs, Statistics and BBV =)!

Thanks for reading but do not click on the picture underneath!
