PooTacular!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh where to begin, where to begin.....the poo has lost the money, lost time, lost his sense of dignity, lost the bet, lost it all......or hasn't he??

I guess this is gonna be the wrapup of the bet, and a few of my thoughts and everything like that! In case you guys didn't know, i finally chose to quit this bet. It flat out had to be done. No matter how good I felt, how mentally strong and all this and that- the evidence was clear....I couldn't win anymore!!

When a guy goes from winning pretty much everyday, with very little downswing through his career, to the crazyness of my results in this bet....you know you just can't be feeling as good as you think!

SO let's see....Some people are stating that they feel sorry for me and stuff- please everyone, I am the last person in the world that you have to feel sorry for. I have loving friends, family, and the best life imaginable.

The day that losing some money gets me down, is the day that I will seriously have to reconsider my life. Money is not what this life is about and we all know it. It's just a means to satisfy our constant unsatisfied desires. I have already learned that we will always want more and more, and no amount of money can ever make you achieve happiness.

Happiness comes from enjoying life. It comes from being with other happy people. It comes from seeing those you love being happy. My mother called me more then a few times during this bet, always saying "we're worried about you kevin, we worry about you, etc. etc." It's crazy to me! Stop worrying people!!! Worry is derived from fear, and that is just a terrible thing and we should just try our best to enjoy every second....shit, that's what i try to do....now is that something to worry about? i say nay.

Okay....so this bet, as crazy as it seems, was so fucking profitable for me that it is sick...As far as my poker game- it is going to be amazing...I got to get in some serious talks with a high stakes professional, and it really was 10x worth the amount I lost.

Also, I am going to continue to make my run at elite!! That was the main goal of this whole thing- to achieve elite status- and that I am still going to do. Just my own way on my own terms. Will be alot easier for me lol, and a lot less stressful.

I should be able to still grab a pretty nice chunk of change by the end of the year- probrably something like 70Kish or whatever, which is a fine 2 months still. Why poo? Why do you say f money but then ur doing this to get money? why, poo, why?

Well I'll tell you why! When it gets down to the bottom of it, the money is not for me...it's for everyone around me. By going crazy for these 2 months playing- I am earning myself a hell of a lot of time off next year because I will be making alot more- which means making more memories, more time to spend with loved ones, yada yada...basically just allowing myself to be with others more- and hot damn, that is really nice of me lol.

I learned a valuable lesson- that things are definitely not as easy as you think they are. I honestly thought that this was going to be a breeze for me. I thought I was going to kill the tables like normal, make elite, and be a king of mine own land. But the opposite happened. Oh well haha.

I am definitely relieved that this is over. I was growing a gradual headache everyday and now it's pretty bad. I think it's from all the data processing and shit being far too much then I"m used to. I talked to a sports psychologist during this to try to figure out why i could no longer win at all, and he told me something kinda like that is the reason...that my brain was not used to processing so much information- even though i have done 20 tables fine for quite some time- those 24 tables, day in day out, 10-14 hours day in day out, was just too much info and now my brain is overloaded!

But that's all gonna be gone now as I go out to celebrate this bet being over. Gonna go out to eat with my lovely lady somewhere chill...not sure where yet, but I'm gonna have a drink or two, be a bit naughty, perhaps a victory cigarette for being done.

It's a weird thing....my poker account is way lower then it usually is right now, and i hardly care one bit...it's kinda like, anytime my account has gotten low over these past 6 years, it sucks for a little bit....but then it kinda gets exciting.

It's fun working your way back up the ladder, re-analyzing your game, and seeing progress...I don't know, it kinda excites me in a way that i lost so much lol.

Hmmmmmmmm what else can i say? this shit has been far too long and I think i'm a bit delerious from all this playing and that's why it continues to go on and on.....and on......

End Awn

OK well i can't think of many other things- i'd like to say thank you to everyone who's supported me so much!!! You guys have all been seriously awesome and it is much appreciated.

my family and friends, and especially sandy, have all been great through this. You guys rock...ur fucking awesome....ok ur not that cool.

So I'm going to continue with my live webcam i think as i go for my race to elite bc it's kinda fun or something? And i think i'm gonna continue with this blog because it is actually nice to write a bit.

Oh yea and a special thanks to runhot who has been fucking awesome and a good friend through this!

OK i'm gonna actually go talk to him now about how to become elite a different way and actually make money.

I'll talk to you all soon, continue to smile :)
Poopy

dang diggity!

Damn, just had quite an annoying session. Played 10K hands and lost 1 1/2 buyins. Was down 4 at one point and up 4 at one point....2 huge pots i lost that ruined the whole session went as follows:

me and dude are sittin' on 400 stacks...guy limps, one guy pops it from CO, i call in SB with 66, the limper d-bag repops min lol...CO calls, i call...flop 6J5 or some crapola....

I lead out cuz i figure he's got AA 100% and he is gonna go broke cuz he was a fish...i led, he raises it up, i raise on top, he shoveaments and that be that...turns out he had 85ss and flopped a combo draw and he hit riv and that was that for an 800 pot.

Other hand wassss hmmmmmm oh yea- guy raised from UTG+1, i repopped from SB w/AK (we were both 370 deep) he calls...i have AK...flop is K72...i lead, he calls...turn is harmless 3, i mash near pot again, the dude smooths again....i'm putting him on JJ/QQ/AK at this point....riv A and bingo i hit top 2....i bet the rest he calls I figure we are chopping, he shows me 54 and smoked the PooCock with a run run str8 for 750 pot.

Sooooo that's 1500 or so worth of pots that the Poo would have liked to have taken down, but it wasn't meant to be and instead of 5 more buyins, he loses 1.5.

But it's all gravy!! a decent way to start my 24 hour marathon session...only 17 more hours to go so not bad, and by the end i'll be on 16 hour pace for this week and i will get some niceee sleep and get back to a normal(ish) schedule.

Gonna go get some bagels with tofu vegetable cream cheese, i will talk to you wascally wabbits later.

One Heart,
K Pee

bullsheist!

F'in Bullsheist! I was up like 9 1/2 buyins this last session till the last 1.5 hours and i just bled it all back away and only made 5 buyins :(

But, we're +4buyins on the day so far which is way better then down 10 and stuff like we've been lol. And it's night time so it's time to grind and smoke some dough.

BI's: -95
Vpps: 571,950

That's it see y'all later!

hmmmmm

Just played 6K hands and lost 1 buyin. I'm pretty happy about that cuz at this time of the day it's basically all regulars. I pretty much stayed evenish the whole time and never really got anything going so all is good!

Games will get better as the evening sets on in, and hopefully I can get some things moving, but to be honest, -1 buyin for the tough 6k hands of the day is like a win to me.

Buyins: -100
Vpps: 569,510

That is all, talk to ya cool bunch later!!
Kpizzle

oh shit- y'all haters should be scared

ok the poop is officially back i think....even though i'm 5 buyins down today still....the truth is....he's back.

Since I've made the most recent updates in my game, and my overall strategy....I have played 10K hands at 4pts/100....so i'm on a +7 BI run and it's only gonna get more serious.

I'm almost thinking about doing a prop bet that I will be even by sunday evening!! Imagine how fun this would be for the poo? hehehehe hohoohoho!! :) :)

Hmmmmm ok the totals are the following:

buyins: -99!! hehehehe cake :)
vpps: 566,831

So, the poo is gonna have to play about 16 hours a day until sunday he thinks.

I have made new goals- no more 10 buyin a day 22k hands a day bullshit

By sunday night, I want to be back to even overall. It is a realistic goal- even though 99.9% of you think it's impossible. I think it is 99.9% going to happen.

So, even by sunday night, and 20K hands per day for the next 6 days, so 120K hands in by sunday night also.

Watch it happen, watch in awe, and just watch....

Heart
KPoo

aiyoooooo

ok well apparently i don't like blogging when i lose- i lost another 5 buyins before so i was down 12 total today and unhappy.

Then I took a shower, had a bite to eat, relaxed a bit, and refocused. Read over my notes and fired up only 16 tables to make sure my game was on. Made 5 buyins back pretty easily and felt good. Only -7 now today.

So I have 17 buyins more to make my goal of +10 today, and I need about 10K more hands as I played about 12.5K already. Shouldn't be too bad.

Just wanted to tell you that I miss you guys :)

PooWarrior

sheeeeeeeeet

morning session was not fun- lost $1,400...looked through PT and I basically lost $1,150 in equity and setups so I'm not too disturbed by this number. Felt pretty good at the tables so that's a gooood thing!

BI's: -101

vpp's: 561,364

I lost some pretty tough coolers, my KK loses to AA AIPF 150 deep and my AA< loses to J9ss in 3bet pot 150 deep also. I didn't really get to frustrated from them. It is possible that I could have folded the AA on the 993 or whatever flop, I'll have to ask some people and see what they think.

It seems damn nice out today which is sweet, gonna go eat some breakfast then continue to grind.

Today's goal = +10 BI's and 22K hands, so let's get movin'!

Poop

no!!

Ok a losing session again- but only $62.25 after 4K hands so that's essentially victory once again!! So let's see....last 10Kish hands Poop has made 9 3/4 buyins back....pretty f'in sweet if u ask me.

Gots to grindddddd more hands i'm behind as far as i'm concerned with vpp's- but now that i know how to play, i will grind more hands.

And oh yea- these last 10k hands have all been 24 tabling, so that's fuckin' sweet also! gosh dang! gosh diggity dang!!

totals:

Bi's: Hmmm i just looked over the numbers- and i was way off and was missing some lost buyins- so i'm actually down 94 still even though i just made almost 10 :(

VPp's: ~559K

OK all gotta eat then gonna grind out some mo hands- confidence is back in my game and feelin' good! Pz all.

Kp rules big time

2nd session post reflection

OK we startin' to roll! Another 5 buyins this session post post reflection, and that was a pretty big 10 buyins the last 2 sesh's to gain back. Only 90 more to go lol lol.

-90 BI's
VPP = 557k

SOrry for updating so much but it's part of my exercise to write about poker for 15 minutes after my sessions and then just leave it and forget about poker to let my mind rest until the start of next session.

So, y'all have to deal with the constant updates!!

Gonna go for a walk- be back soon to hopefully spank out another couple of buyins
PooPoo

1 hour post reflection

Well, just had a quick 1.17 hour session post reflection, and made a nice 5 buyins. Felt good, basically played very solid as usual and didn't run like death. Only 95 to go, and this bet is up for Poop to grab!

Buyins: -95 (woah)
vpp's: 556K

Wow, those numbers are both nowhere near where they should be- but we're on the upward track now. The turning point for the battle has finally been reached- all hail as poopy starts to turn this bet around!

Lovey buns,
KP

it's reflection time

Ok, i have reached the century buyin mark- we have officially lost 100 buyins at 1/2nl lol...never thought it would EVER come to that, but here the situation sure has arrived.....and quickly might i add!!

Many would think to themselves at this point "shit man, i gotta bail and cut my losses," but I can't disagree more with this type of thinking. Allow me to elucidate...

Even if I lose 400 buyins on this bet, i will still basically breakeven. Many will say "waste of time to breakeven after 2 months," but that is hardly the case at all. I will have gained the status of supernova elite, which means that next years earnings will be much greater. That is just one point though, and I haven't begun going into the "how much I learned from this" kinda thing.

So I will now.

I have learned a great deal from this already. I learned that you can run very, very badly in poker- badly then I have ever imagined...and this is coming from a professional poker player who has grinded millions and millions of hands over 6 years. I learned that bankroll is more important that I thought, and 100 buyins should DEFINITELY be the minimum bankroll if you're a multitabler.

Next, my poker game has gotten EXTREMELY better. (Caps Lock is FUN!) I have been talking to a high stakes 10/20nl regular and he has been helping me out so much with my game, it is crazy. I have never thought about poker at this level, and I didn't even know it existed. This newly acquired knowledge and way of thinking of the game, to me, equals an uncapped amount of money.

Lastly, and most importantly if you ask me, is I will not end this bet because I still feel that I can win this thing. All it is going to take for me to win is about 1pt/100 hands, which is usually so easy that it is laughable. Times have been tough, and i may not have been playing my very best, but I have been playing pretty solid. I think a bad run coupled with the life change has caused me to lose, but mostly the bad run.

I REFUSE to just cower down now and not try to complete this task. Reasons? Well, the above stated, and also things such as......shit, if I learned this much already, imagine how much I can learn upon completion of this bet? A ridiculous amount...

I am not going to just say "sheeeeet nuk nuk, i'm down 100 buyins, that's it!!" No way man. Sorry, but this Poo does NOT abide. I am going to continue to work on my game, continue to improve, and continue to adapt to this new lifestyle until I achieve success.

Shoutouts to my 10/20nl friend helping me so much, and a HUGE shoutout to runhot, my boy and personal manager of sorts throughout this expedition. You guys rock, hugs and kisses :)

That is it!!! I'm off to play, love you all.

Tear,
KPoop

heyyy ooooo

ok, it's late, i'm pretty mad as usual after a session...was between even and up 3 buyins the whole time until last 10 minutes, and this is no exaggeration, truly the last 10 minutes- went from +3 BI's to -3 BI's....try handling a 6 buyin downswing with 10 minutes left in a session when ur already down this much! yikes!!!

KP has a lil headache from all this- gotta take a lil nappy poo

Buyins: -86ish (wow that be alot)
vpps: 553K

I definitely got pissed off when that last swing happened, but what can ya do? Can't always be tilt-free....didn't let it affect my play though, and before I did I scooted off those tables. See you all at 6am- pz!

Poop

sick session baby!!!

Well well well....good ol kp made some mo!!! $6.10 this session baby. Movin' right along at lightning speed- call me flash if u want.

Buttttt, played good again, I still feel like there were wayyyyyyyy too many of my QQ/AK/KK losing to AA....when this stops happening, i'm going to make alot of money and get back to even relatively quickly methinks.

Hands are comin' real slow today as I'm 18 tabling- but gee whiz at least I'm not losing 5 buyins a day....only 2 for now today lol.

Vpp = 551K
Buyins = -83ish

I felt awake and amazing this whole session. Trying to figure out why I had so much focus and energy, but I can't! Hmmmm well, I did do some exercise before this session so maybe that was it. The coolers were getting on my nerves so I breathed nice and long and deep and it seemed to calm me down immediately which was amazing, because i didn't have to quit playing to avoid tilt.

That's about it! talk to you goofy boys and girls on the flip side

Much love and adoration,
KP

mehhhhh

Thought this was gonna be a killer session- started out +5 buyins in first half hour....proceeded to climb to +7 buyins before the coolers/suckouts began....finished my session with my 66 all in on a 67T flop, guys JJ hits a run run straight to take me out.

All in all, played near perfectly yet again, and the results didn't show it. Ended up +1.5 buyins, whoopee!!!

I started feeling pretty tired during that session a few times, and tried to breathe properly to fix it and it definitely worked. Besides that, I have to focus more on looking at how many tables I have open that are just me sitting there playing against no one, because they really kill my hand per hour rate.

Couldn't think of anything strategy-wise this session that I have to think about...Actually, there are some things- but I just started wondering why I would write down my thoughts about strategy here for everyone to see? Silly me!!

Bye 'all
Poop

bad run continues

Well started off good this morning with 3 1/2 buyins plus....then my last session i just lost 8 more buyins. Today i'm currently only down 3 1/2 buyins, which is pretty amazing to me since i have ran into so many coolers.

It's kinda disturbing how bad i have run lately, but the good thing is that we still have a million hands to go to even it all out.

Totals:

- 85 buyins
vpps = 548K

Seems like a pretty staggering amount of buyins, but for some reason I really feel that most of it is due to running bad. I know people will say no way, but I mean....I am looking over my hands everyday and I am not seeing any mistakes. I think I ran into AA with AK/QQ/KK around 7 times today, and yesterday it was even more. So hopefully that will stop soon.

My favorite cooler today was me having 22 on a Q82 board and losing to Q8 when an 8 hits the turn. What is poor lil KP supposed to do?? I felt really good about my game today, which is frustrating because when I play great and continue to lose when already down so much, it sucks.

But, not enough to deter me from completing this bet! Got a nice 4K bonus that's about to clear, and got another 150K fpps toward another 4k bonus, and at 600K vpp's let's not forget the 6K bonus!

So, hopefully by Friday or so next week, I should have approximately 14K in bonuses which always help since i'm down 17K so far in profit! yikes!!

I brought the tables down to 18 today and I think I am going to keep it at that until I get back to even. I feel very calm and relaxed, and my mind does not become exhausted for a pretty long time, so I can get in the hours I need. In order to maintain 20K hands/day while 18 tabling, it is only 13 hours of play, which is not so bad afterall.

Ok, gonna get in some exercise and chill out till next session, adios amigos!
Poop

wow

ummmmmm just had another 5K hand session, lost 1 buyin per 1K hands, which = another 5 buyins down, so total is -77....vpp = 543,374.

Don't really know what to do, felt like i played great again, but got smashed up. Lost on a Q72 board with QQ all in on the flop, that was fun. Lost some more combo draws, lost with a bunch of KK/QQ/AK to AA, and that's about it.

Gonna go on a nice lil jog and then come back for another session bc i feel like getting down 100 buyins as fast as possible!! weeeeee!!!

Ummmm na, i'm going to make 50 buyins in 5 hours, it will be sweet. As for strategy, i think that shoving over someone's bet gets more calls then just raising over their bets, so i'm gonna keep that in mind. That's about all i can think of strategy-wise that I encountered that session.

I'm pretty mentally fatigued- gonna get outta here! pz y'all.

K Pliz

edit: just looked at my ev graph, and it actually shows me running badly today, about 1K worth just in all in ev i'm missing, so that's good. Makes me feel like i'm not playing badly at least!! bye all

still downnnn

howdy- lost 2 more buyins this last session so now we're down 5 buyins today and 72ish overall- things are looking grim to say the least!
vpp's are at 541K and they're behind also, but that's ok cuz that part is apparently the easy part.

I felt real focused this session, whenever i got tired i concentrated on breathing and stayin focused and in the moment and i think that helped with my energy level. Kinda pissed that i had to stop, but it occurred bc i had to pee pretty f'in badly. I gotta figure out a way to do that while 24 tabling.

I'm pissed that i re-raise shoved on the turn over someone who gave me great odds to call with my combo draw. I will try to remember to just call in this spot as they essentially are giving me a free shot to hit my hand. I ended up shoving on top, he had top 2, me no hit and i lost the hand!

Another hand that pissed me off today was i flopped set of 9's on K92 or something. I smooth called flop, checked to him on turn and he fired and i shoved, he nails his A bomb on the riv for trip A's. Gosh, that made me feel better by writing about it.

One more thing strategy wise i noticed is that when someone bets near the pot on the turn, they're pretty serious about their hand. Fold KP, fold!!!

Hmmmmmm that's about it, love you all very much
KP

no good!!

gettin' stomped on, but gettin' closer to starting to win, i think...
537,487 vpp
buyins- uh oh...seems bad lol- minus 67 buyins yikes!!

again, it's ok though cuz i'm kinda startin' to see the light, hehehehe
Poop

finally an update!

ok ok, so it's been awhile! sorry guys, but i've been getting killed and didn't feel like blogging about it. Ummmmmmm here be the current numbers:
-57 1/2 buyins
519,376 vpps

Soooo that's about it!
I think i'm ready to go on a pretty nice win streak because I got my game all fixed and shit, and i'm pretty certain that by weeks end I will be close to breakeven with the buyins.

Also!! I think i'm getting ready to book more action bc i'm feeling confident and i think i plugged my leaks finally. soooo i'll let u guys know about that- maybe at 8 to 1 or something though cuz i'm pretty deep in the hole :)

Love you all, gn!
