I fucking hate school
I seriously don't see a point of me continuing. the stuff i learn in class, i'm never gona use them again. i'm never in my life going to a psychiatrist or some kinda neuro fucking scientisit. seriously, who gives a fuck what visual field does what and how you perceive image etc. studyin for that shit seriusly put me on life fuckin tilt so much. i don't know what to do. i'd love to be able to not goto school and do my thing all day but i know going to school and finishin it would be the "right" thing to do....
I always thought, you know i have just 1 year left, i guess i'll just grind it out. but right now, i feel like its SUCH a waste of time its not even funny. i have 0 motivation and everything about school pisses the shit outa me. seriously in a dilemma here. i just talked to my mom and obv she doesn't like the idea. she told me u kno college is 'basic' education and its basically a requirement for "most" ppl. but i told her, "mom i aint no most ppl, i'm not gona be a normal person if you haven't been able to tell already..." n she just got kinda upset and i hate to see that happen cuz i kno she wants the best for me but i don't really know what her son has become right now....i'm making TWICE to THREE times the salary of a medical doctor in Asia. a decent one that is.....
this is the figure here:
normal salary in taiwan USD: $700-1k
manager salary in taiwna: $2k
doctor salary in taiwan: $5-7k
small time celeb: $3-4k
me in february (1st month at nl400): $21k
i dont' know what else to say but i think the money speaks for itself really. i'm not so concerned about the money right nwo but i don't know why this kind of figure is not convinceable for my mom to realize that i have soooooooo much potential in poker. i didn't just realize that today but i've known that i will be the best one day, not because i have some kinda supernatural power that can seee through your soul, but because i'm going to work harder than everyone else. i've always aimed my eyes at the top and until i reach it, i'm not gona stop....i just feel like school is kinda slowing me down in my progress to the top and i'm not really sure what to do. after all, "dropping out" of college is a HUGE disgrace for the society in asia and you guys all know that asian ppl love "FACE" more than anything else. they want to brag which college their son graduated from...
i'm really in a dilemma here because i know that for now, the "right" thing to do is to just stick it in and finish schoool because 'normal' ppl would do it. but what is the "best" thing to do for me at this point. maybe i'm being blinded here in reality bcuz i'm overestimating my poker abilities, which i dont' think i am.....but maybe some of you guys can give me some inputs on what you think. i know many of you have families and jobs and are older than i am....what do you guys suggest?
ps. i'm thinkin about bein a balla n just paying someone to pass all the classes for me. i'm serious. albeit not the most princely thing to do, but sounds like a solution to me lol. n yes i'm serious

Alright ppl, prepare to see some sick reads....
hand #1
brief intro. so andyakb has been 3 betted by me a ton, but all those times i actually did have hands. he was gettin a little frustrated and i can tell (i duno how) but i could easily tell he was really gettin frustrated by me. so then he makes a button raise, i've got AK, i repop, standard...
to the flop, i'm oop n i bet out pot w/out thinking too much, hopin he'd fold. in retrospect i think i should've made it like 85, cuz 100 just looks like i wnat him to fold. now he raises to 400 which is a big big raise. i'm sittin here thinkin, i think i gota pitch this...but then the huge raise was very suspicious to me.....1st scenario, he has a pocket pair, doesn't matter which. i dont think he raises any underpair here, much more likely to float. i don't think he raises a set so much. n i think he'd peel one off if TT/JJ cuz m line is reppin a strong hand. 2nd scenario, he has a bad hand that desperately wants me to fold cuz he read my pot sized bet as weakness.....because he seemed kinda rattled and frustrated, i went w/my 2nd read. n i think he called me with a gutty
i actually think i was gettin this hand in good, not because i have 6 outs. i was 90% certain i had the best hand......here it is
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848124
hand #2
ok so also some history. the last time this guy immediate min check raised me in position on a board of A Q Q, i 4 bet him with nothing, and he folded n showed 22. this time, he did the same thing again. given his previous action, i read him for not having the king, but somethin like 66/55. which i'm way ahead of. so i played this hand way ahead. everything later was for pure value. i did not doubt that i had the best hand...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848130
hand #3
ok no reads this hand. i raised and cbet as usual. got a pretty quick call. which leads me to believe his hand is not too strong. the Ace hit the turn n i made a standard 2 barrel, he inst called again w/out thinking too much about it. this action leads me to believe that either he paired up the ace (floating me with Ace high) or he did not care about the Ace because he was drawing. the combinations of the board card and his quick calls lead me to believe that he had a weak hand, like a draw and maybe a 8 he refuses to laydown. on the river, i spiked my T. i wanted to shove here, but it made no sense to because i didnd' thtink he was bad enough to call with just an 8 here, and if i'm wrong w/my read, then i'm fucked. so i decided to check with the intention of showin it down free. it didn't work out to well as he thought bout it for just 3 seconds and pots the river. ok, this is very interesting here.
1st. quick call on flop. possible hand flush draw, K8/A8/T8. turn, would A8 call that quickly? a lota time i'd see a raise or a pause-call. now, all the draws missed. if he did have a bare 8, like K8, i have him and i induced a bluff. if he had a draw, he missed (i dun think he had the nut flush draw cuz he'll probably play that more aggressively on turn). T8/A8 i think would bet less for value here on the river and not be pot so quickly. i also think T8 wouldv'e folded to a turn bet. i don't think he can feel THAT confident if he floated me with like AJ, n made just a pair of Aces. all in all, i think it was a bluff, and i did induce him. so i made a pretty awesome call imo
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848135
overall, i played extremely solid today. read ppl like a book and laid down hands and tightened up my game. i ran at 22/20/5.5 today. and i'm up 4.4k. i did have some hands where it was coolers for other ppl but hey it happens both ways. if i can play like this everyday, i will destroy 2-4 so badly......btw, trev bro keep your head up, we all know you can play, start grinding 25nl man. remember, i was there just 3.5 months ago!

This is gona be a rant post....
in all honesty, i think coaching is pretty -ev for me. first of all, i'm coaching my future enemies lol, and also, its totally draining my mental energy. therefore, i have raised my rate attempting to leave out the students who are not very dedicated. I will further increase my rate in the future and also kick out the students who are not dedicated to get my total student count down to 4 or so....
my rates will be pretty high then but i feel like I have a tremendous amount of information to offer and i coach better than i play...so if you play like i coach you, you should kill any limit up to 2-4 for 5ptbb's..........i'm also going to do one lesson max a day. so if you have a specific time you wana book, do it early
poker has beeen going pretty rough for me. 4 losing days in a row....i've contained the losses, but needless to say, it is extremely frustrating. i've had several coolers, nothing out of the ordinary. one thing thats been kiling me is that i've been bluffin a lot. if i sense weakness from someone, i pound it, usually i'm right, but i get called anyway because pppl hate folding.....BK said my plays are very very advanced and my reasons behind it are logical, however, its probably too advanced for 400nl; i think he is right and therefore, i will be tightening up my game quiet a bit the next few days. i'm also looking to put in a ton of hands in this weekend as this month as of now i only have 35k hands at 2-4 running at 4ptbb, not pleased at all
many ppl, top pros even, tell me that 4ptbb is a very nice winrate. i however, am never satisfied. call me a perfectioninst, overachiever, whatever, i'm here to win big, not marginal. i'm here trying to make it to the top, and i believe i will one day. i'm not here to be just another winning poker player. i wana be extraordinary, i wana be famous, rich all that shit. i have high ambitions and 4ptbb is just not acceptable. i'm gona work very hard to get that up to 5. if i cannot, then no 600 for me. thats it for now folks

high (not really) mid stakes poker players takin the all star weekend off for some fine merlot n chardonnay by the jacuzzi. we've got stickboney to the left n boosh on the right
this is results brag post. first 30k hands at nl 400.... i guess you can call this domination? i don't know. i will say i'm dominating it once my winrate is steadily over 6ptbb lol. reach? no. sustainable? think so. i'm up 9.5k or so in the past 4-5 days, pretty awesome i'd say
ok. this is a reminder post. when i lose some money and am on mega tilt, this picture will make me think, ok, i guess i have a reason to love poker and take these retarded beats......

Alright Ryan, this post is for you.
ok so my goal initially was to take the entire february to move up to 2-4 but it looks like as of today I am already extremely comfortable with it. i've played a total of 25k hands and have made a profit of just over $8k running at 4ptbb even. not too shabby if you ask me.
i have to however, give credit to peter and brendan for making this transition possible. my initial shot at 2-4 was taken with peter under a joint session. we played for 2 hours and I think I did very well and felt like I could beat these players. not just by a lil, but very badly. the money thing I was worried about wasn't really affecting me much i have no idea why....the next couple of days I got some lessons from Brendan and he reassured me that my game was very solid and I should be able to crush 2-4....I feel like I CAN crush 2-4 and I probably will, but I wana do it for a good winrate....not something like 4.0. I wana beat it for 5+. During the past 25k hands, I've tilted quiet a bit, and ran pretty damn bad for awhile, 2mororw i will try to post some of my sickest coolers hands for some of the biggest pots i've ever played.....
yesterday i ran SO terrible it was unbelievable but thanks to brendan sweating, i didn't tilt n only lost 2 buy ins...I regrouped today and ran goot and played goot for the most part...run goot + play goot = $$$$$$. yeah so I made $3.6k today.....9 buy ins...i'll take it
right now i'm just gona focus on playing goot, solid poker, instead of trying to be the boss
