+820 today, very solid day; officially made back all of the losses that I suffered a few days ago. Things have been going smoothly, in cards and in coaching. I feel like PilSuhng is learning some depth, which is all I feel he lacked. Here's a hand for the day.
PokerStars Game #30499692033: Tournament #179617293, $220+$10 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level I (10/20) - 2009/07/15 17:12:52 ET

Seat 2: maxv2 (1430 in chips)

maxv2: posts big blind 20
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to maxv2 [Jd 9s]
THIERRY95: raises 60 to 80
maxv2: calls 60
*** FLOP *** [Qs 8c 2h]

*** SHOW DOWN ***
maxv2: shows [Jd 9s] (a straight, Eight to Queen)
THIERRY95: mucks hand
maxv2 collected 1740 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1740 | Rake 0
Board [Qs 8c 2h Ts 9d]
Seat 1: THIERRY95 (button) (small blind) mucked [Kh Qh]
Seat 2: maxv2 (big blind) showed [Jd 9s] and won (1740) with a straight, Eight to Queen
Analysis: This is a move that I generally make on a rare occasion. Reraise on a gutshot hoping to induce a fold. Fortunately for me I hit big and was able to suck value out of it the rest of the hand. An unfortunate 9 on the river handcuffed me, but still was able to get a decent amount.

So I've decided to get blogging going again. Partially because I want to, and have always enjoyed it; and also because I have a decent amount of free time these days and would like to take up coaching. So I'm hoping this helps promote myself.
Things have been slow this year, my ROI is at an all time low this year. Only posting a 5% so far, and about 17k earnings with about 7k in bonuses cleared. So all in all I could still make a hard push the rest of the year and make between 50-60k. Hopefully the nice whether helps motivate me.
HH of the Day (I'll also be available to analyze HH's for $10 each email me at maxwell.ludwig@umit.maine.edu) :
Seat 1: PilSuhng (1,060)
Seat 2: AEROg (1,940)
PilSuhng posts the small blind of 60
AEROg posts the big blind of 120
The button is in seat #1
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to PilSuhng [Ac Jc]
PilSuhng has 15 seconds left to act
PilSuhng calls 60
AEROg raises to 1,940, and is all in
PilSuhng calls 940, and is all in
AEROg shows [2c Th]
PilSuhng shows [Ac Jc]
Uncalled bet of 880 returned to AEROg
*** FLOP *** [6c Qd 5c]
*** TURN *** [6c Qd 5c] [3c]
*** RIVER *** [6c Qd 5c 3c] [Qh]
AEROg shows a pair of Queens
PilSuhng shows a flush, Ace high
PilSuhng wins the pot (2,120) with a flush, Ace high
Analysis: PilSuhng is a currect protege` of mine, he was at a high blind stage on full tilt against a guy who was moving in out of position on limps about half the time. This is definitely worth the gamble of limping in (and potentially missing a flop to waste the value of the hand) to trap and take down a huge pot. This worked to perfection and the opponent was classically caught with 102o. Not the most exciting hand I know, but nicely done PilSuhng.

2/19 : Poker and Life update
So I have some life issues that I've been dealing with. I handled them just about as poorly as possible and if I have any advice for myself and anyone else, it's to not make things a bigger deal then they are. It will just lead to your demise (and thus my recent demise). But it's never too late to change, which is what I'll be doing. I used to be this way, and will become the person I once was starting today. Oh and holy crap try not to trust anyone other then your true friends, it's so easy to get stabbed in the back when you put trust in anyone other then those people.
Poker has been interesting, I lost around 10k total at the beginning of February and have been working back all month. I've made 7k of it back and am still up about 6-8k for the year, I'm not exactly sure how much because I've been running a lot of 4 man's with Phenom and he wins every flip for the sharkscope stats lol.

1/2/08 : Vina Del Mar
So I'm thinking of playing in this LAPT event, I like the hotel deal I get as a supernova (or at least what I got on the WSOP trip) So I think it's worth the extra money I'd have to pay to get into the tournament. Plus I can cover most of the plane cost with my FPP's. Anyone else going out there?
