LMAO got challenged
March 16, 2010
got 90 days to accumulate as much points as possible by playing only freerolls. For every win i get a ticket into $0.50 either 6 seater or 10-sitngos. Every ticket’s valid for 2 months so the challenge is to see how much money i’ve won at the end of June from absolutely nothing! Every freeroll has been soo easy to win, 4 tickets in 2 days now, some 300 entrants and all just fish who never heard of odds, position or anything remotely strategic when it comes to poker so i’m in for a smooth ride here.
Today i had this big-stacked guy bullying the table, sitting to my left who called anything with any 2, so i decided on the strategy of playing weak every time i actually hit or had something since he just pushed allin on the river no matter if he hit or not. I just knew he was the one that was going to double me up!
Got my chance with rockets so i limped on my bb, he raised and got 3 callers including me. I flopped trips. First to speak I checked and as i thought he pushed with second pair. The others called the allin with A3 just having a pair of aces. The other one had pp 8s. My trips held up so i quadrupled up there. After that point all i had to do was bet and reraise if he bet or reraised me!
He couldn’t bully me since i started to chip up to finally have more chips than him. This strategy also meant risking that i was going to be outrivered when just limping with AQ or AJ in position, even my pp Qs i had to fold on a bad flop but i was prepared to fold monsterhands here just in order to get all the chips from this bigstacked guy! That was my goal and i stuck to it . My strategy held up and he ended up 37th out of the money and me winning the ticket on his expense. He just couldn’t change gear closer to the money, calling allins for half his stack with 49 off out of position. BUT he was hilarious and made me laugh and that made it even more worth it all! TY you’re now my favourite-fish and i’ll not tell who you are since you’re going to be the one adding to my bankroll, not even going to tell where LMFAO
Decided to take this challenge since i need to go back to some basics in order to get this deal i’m i really want! If i can improve my game (I’m on scrutiny for a couple of months here), especially when it comes to aggression, odds and position. Thought it would be best to try out new strategies where i can do it in lowrisk-game. Need to improve my patience too since i last year soo easily got bored and my focus started drifting from the game to something else LMAO.. A lot of the games really have been going on routine and that’s the worst state of mind to start a game in.
Should be fun to play otherwise Don’t! Have been saying this before and i really need to follow my own advice here.
To be continued
Be safe and have fun
OK just have to post this!

Is this to go a bit too far or what do you think? I mean come on representing dead Pikes calling it murder!! I can certainly agree on harsher and stronger laws for cruelty against animals but where’s the line to be drawn here. Do we drag kids to the court for stepping on ants now? Have to say i thought it was April fools day when i first read this in the news!
And people are for sure gonna be upset by this lawyer comparing burned dogs with decapitated children and huge amount of drugs! i can understand his point of view that animals need to have someone speaking for them and i’m no god who say i’m more worthy than the animals but wouldn’t it be better to actually have the small claims court and specialists taking these cases so the prosecutor doesn’t HAVE to compare the cases then!
The day i need a prosecutor who’s burning for his job i don’t want him to be blase over the caseload and comparision of cases especially if he has to compare the case of a “murdered” Pike and a decapitated kid!
Swiss dogs to get legal representatives
Swiss lawyers can get it a lot trickier in their dealings with clients in the future. On Sunday it will be determined on fish, hamsters, dogs and other vulnerable animals should be entitled to legal assistance.
Sunday’s referendum is a so-called people’s initiative, a renowned feature of Swiss democracy.Those who manage to get together 100 000 signatures to force a vote on almost anything, and this has now animal rights organization Schweizer Tierschutz (STS) succeeded.
In canton Zurich, the animal had the right to a lawyer since 1992. The question now is whether this should be mandatory also in the rest of the country.
Antoine Goetschel has as animal lawyers in Zurich has become the vote poster’s name. He manages an annual basis up to about 200 court cases, but irritating on that it is often the most weird cases which attracts attention. For example, when he was last week in court representing a pike murdered by a fisherman.
Poor pay
Most cases, however, cats, dogs and cattle that are exposed to serious animal cruelty. The clients are almost always lousy pay, so Goetschels hourly rate about 200 francs paid by the cantonal authorities.
Switzerland was already one of the world’s toughest animal protection laws. For example, it’s illegal to flush down live ornamental fish in the toilet - they must first be killed with with the gentle method possible. And animals with high social needs, such as hamsters, are not to be left alone.
But the sentences for those convicted are often low. Goetschel find it logical that it compels the judiciary to take the animals more seriously.
- If the prosecutor gets a case of huge amounts of drugs, and one with a decapitated child, and then two severe burned dogs come in - when he says, “Oh, What”. I understand, “said Goetschel.
- It would be fairer to give the animals a voice.
Uncertain outcome
And as animal rights lawyer, he needs help. Right now, he has a total of 50 cases on his desk, for example, a horse who died after being exposed for 30 stabwounds.
According to opinion polls support the two-thirds of the Swiss proposal. It is still uncertain whether animal rights proposal get the green light when the results start to come on Sunday afternoon, as it requires a majority not only among those who go to the polls, but among the general population.
Switzerland holding three referendums on Sunday. In addition to animal law the Swiss are taking position on tightening the pension system and to a question about the law of research and science.
On to some other notes, i’ve been rooting for Scotty Nguyen in his NBC Heads-Up challenge and he’s on to his forth HU today against Mercier after beating Gabe Kaplan and Phil Ivey for his second and third game and someone Unknown in his first. I myself had an early night yesterday with no poker at all. I went to bed with a book wich i quickly fell asleep from already at 10.00 pm
leaving everything to be sorted out by Ash! Sorry baby but Oooh it felt like heaven getting an early night! Still as usual got awaken up by the dog dancing around the bed licking my hand! So i had to get up at 3.00 and walk her! I don’t know why we have a nocturnal dog who loves to play and have her walkies during the nights instead of the day?
Oh and Paulie i’ve just made 2 posts and you’ve done none Mooooahahahaha! Come on Paulie, Dave and Gof get yer thumbs out of yer asses now and hit the keyboards
See ya!
Well i know it’s long overdue but…

Taaaa daaaah i’m finally back to annoy you all with some nagging, laughs, whinings and randomly bits and pieces of my thoughts and happenings. Did you miss me?
?
As most of you already know a lot have happened since i did regular posts. I’m still in England and will be for, well let’s just say i’m staying here! Just came over here for a short visit but the view that met me at the airport was hunkaliciously fantastic and i’ll not for anything in this universe wanna loose that view, want it to follow me everywhere. It’s absolutely gorgeous :D! Yep it’s a he, my gorgeous view! And as the Beotch i am i quickly sank my claws into that beautiful view and i won’t let go ever!
I’ve set myself up for a huge challenge as well when it comes to poker. I found a site where i only had some $0.50 on and i said to myself “wonder how long it will take me to grind it up to a comfortable level?” Well that was about some 2-3 months ago and since then i’m up to $55 just by playing $0.10-$0.20 sitngos. Hum soooooooo boring yes but necessary!
I had last year some really good months where i was up about $1200 just playing some $10 bounties at cake-network but due to some unfortunately stupid moves by me i had to withdraw most f it leaving me very and i mean VERY short, just to have to start all over grinding again and that’s just been awful for the mental part of me.
Yes i know i’ve been nagging and whining about bad luck and yes i do agree it’s not that’s been the true reason. All you do at the pokertable is been reflecting by the state of mind you’re in, I know i’ve admitted it. you happy now baby?? BUT you know it’s a womans perogative to have blaming-tantrums so what’s a poor woman supposed to do??
The other day i was asked to improve some bits in my games in order to make a deal so i’m gonna have to since this is something i really wanna do but some of the things i want to improve i have to say is hard to do when playing on lower levels. OK playing position i can do better but how do you increase your aggression at a microlevel where people call with ANY 2 and it’s cheap to loose and buyin to next game? There’s no thoughts behind some of the callers you get. There’s no playing the player so to speak! So anyone that can give me a tip or 2 let me know?
I’ve got a wish for the pokersites, why not add a possibility to take down table-notes, i mean sometimes there’s the table-dynamic you want to register together with the player-notes. How they interact with each other. How one players actions effects the others and the dynamic at the table! so on and so on!
Well my game started, got trip 7s first hand and doubled up so now i’ll focus on the game but i’ll be back i promise!

Lately I’ve been doing great playing the poker with 2 second places in the forum-tournies, profits in both! I’ve limited my playing to one game per day or every other day!
It feels like my game is coming together more and more, the mojo is back at ground-level! But the tourny i played last week bugs me, I’ve never seen so many back to back to back pocket-pairs in my hand before. Read more
Up Against Lowstacks and Other Stuff
February 1, 2008
Svcmgr has in his blog posted a topic that i do find important! I do believe it’s important to play to win and not to loose, there is a big difference between those two styles of strategy. It is also important to try and take out the lowstacks at the table as soon as possible with any 2 cards but there’s one aspect that’s not mentioned anywhere and you all recognice it, you all been there! It’s when you feel in all of your essence from the hairroots down to the toenails how wrong that hand feels, no matter what it is! You simply know that the hand will bust!
