Today was not good, I attempted some PLO at Dafa but my thin value shove on the river
with 2 pair and a busted flush draw was called (check called three times) by flopped
top set, son of a $%¨#$&#$. Then I played some speed holdem and slowly
grinded stack after stack with small pots and lost all of it with all-ins. Now
I have $1 and I need to reevaluate my options. I think free bankrolls are a big
lie. They calculate the most EV option for themselves and let us with the worst
case scenario to try to survive. I lasted around 650 hands. I had to play NL5
euros, around $6 a stack.
FUN FACTS
An interesting fact is that my first surname is written Filgueiras and spoken like “Phil”,
“Gay”, “Ras” (Russian accent). I had to say this, most Brazilians miss the “L”
and speak it like “Fee”, “Gay”, “Ras”. It’s annoying.
It’s a Portuguese surname, I’d like to get a Portuguese citizenship but I can’t, since
my grandparents had to be alive for this. I’m a mix of indigenous, black,
French and Portuguese.
Also, most Russians speak Brazilian Portuguese quite well.
In case I fail to reach Big Brother Brazil, I might try a marketing thing with AIESEC and
go to whichever country I can get to.
My favorite countries are Scandinavian. I must go to Iceland before I die.

I'm in Brazil, I hate my country :/ You mean live poker?
So, I tried Dafa today, free $8. I played 14 hands of PLO4 euros and tripled up with 100vpip probably (2-3 handed). Ran hot finally. I had a lot of problems with the software, chatted with support twice, got a new 100% bonus for my money and my account stopped working. Password was stored in my computer, so I did not mistype it. My account was frozen after a few login attempts to setup hud to play NL4 "zoom". I "have" $22.5 now, can't leave Brazil with that...
I need money to buy myself another copy of my birth certificate after my dad stole mine and get another copy of my passport for the same reason. Still a long way to go to recover my independence.
Short term plan is earning enough money to go to Rio for a Big Brother interview to happen in november. I'm weird enough to be called for one. I'm gonna be disappointed if that does not happen.

I'll keep updating the journal. I think it's a good thing to treat my dislike for forums.
Today I played badly and was on massive tilt. At first I tried the free bankroll, tried
some holdem cash. I quickly went all in before the flop against a shortstack.
JJ vs 99 and the son of a bitch made quads. One quarter of my roll was gone.
Then I moved to a PLO table and played heads up against a dude overplaying one
pair hands, this increased my tilt. So, I had less than a buy in left, relaxed
a little bit and came back to the PLO table, now 6 max. I played enough to have
one buy in, then moved all of my roll to an MTT table. Ok, I ran good
yesterday, nothing says it can’t happen again…
It didn’t. I ran massively bad. Lost it all. Now I have Dafa poker and another weird site
to try.
I also bought the rest of the sit and goes tickets I could on Full Tilt with the FTPs
I had left. Tilted badly after my triple barrel all in with a busted draw was
snap called by top pair, no kicker.
This mtt was the most tilting experience of my life. I ran so bad preflop I would go 6
orbits without playing a hand, then I would play AQ, get 3 callers and 89T kind
of flop.

5.5k hands. I just had a pretty weird downswing since I've learned to play this game. Most of my downswings playing hundreds of thousands of zoom hands were 5 - 10 BI, even though my winrates were low with my previous style.
I played an FPP mtt today on Stars. Finished 95th out of 2015 and won $3. Lost it in a few minutes playing PLO2. I had good postflop but I barely know ICM.
Still waiting for my free bankroll with bankrollmob. I'm living with my mom and I have around $5 in cash. I can't even deposit. Getting a job here is pointless, minimum wage is around $300 and I can make more playing PLO2.

I might try Bankrollmob. Uploaded documents a few minutes ago.
I also gave PS my staking environment idea on 2+2, although I won't participate in there.
I have no idea about Winner Poker omaha traffic (free bankroll). I'm sure rake is a problem and I'll break even playing maniacal poker. I don't know how to play holdem anymore. I might need to relearn some zoom moves not to play nanostakes omaha.

Who's haiku?
Ah, the book also tells how to make friends.
I'm GabrielFSO on Stars (not coming back there) and Terrificus on FT.
Please see this thread. I need to spread the suggestion and I also have another one: Reduce max VIP for staked players, so we will have non staked players playing.
I need a backer. No point playing nanostakes.

Hey, thanks!
I wrote a book about shyness. I used to be social phobic. Please tell people to buy copies and help me rebuild without begging.
This link has a long free preview of such book: Scribd link
I remember reading a thread on 2+2 (when I used to read stuff there) about a guy in Thailand who married a girl to stay in the country. He needs to read my book.
Please help.

I used to
be an extremely skeptical guy, now I’m not at all. I’m never to play on Stars
again, weird stuff happen to me there.
After
adding random music files and filling exactly 100% of bytes in my mp3 player, after typing random chemistry formulas by
accident by jamming the keyboard, after typing one letter in my keyboard and
getting another one without viruses (manual check) and more written credible
stuff, I believe in god. I’m not religious. I used to be the opposite of this.
I hate skepticism now, I hate myself!
Call
superstition, call whatever you want, I’m not playing on Stars again. I don’t
care about explanations, if you believe in god or not. It doesn’t matter. I’m
very close to a $60 bonus and I don’t want it. I was rebuilding from PLO2 zoom
and I was crushing after more than 6 months without play (relearning and
rethinking lines). All of a sudden I had the worst run of my entire life
playing omaha (around a 15bi downswing playing microstakes) and went broke.
Switching to tag did not help.
I’m gonna
sell some of my books and switch to Full Tilt.
Don’t
listen to me and play wherever you want. I don’t believe in riggedness. It’d be
too hard and pointless to Stars (and a risk to their credibility).
I’d coach
microstakes players, but I can’t (3G internet) after my internet stopped
working in the entire neighborhood after some antenna broke or something. Yelling
at support wouldn’t fix it. More than one month like this and they reply there’s
no problem (A huge coincidence, they say).
I’m trying
to go to Big Brother Brazil. I’m too weird not to get in. I need to earn enough
money to pick up a bus for an interview. Questionnaire was perfect for me (all
great questions for me).
I might be
back to post future graph. I mostly don’t care for forums. Half people
criticize and the other half fill their egos with post counts. I used to be a quiet guy, I don’t
know why I’m typing so much. Bye.
Weird to
face a 15BI downswing after winning 30bb/100 with a 60bb/100 redline for a
decent thousand hands. I will eventually use a variance simulator to account
the probability of such downswings for such winrate in such a short span.
Call me
crazy, call me whatever you want. I don’t believe in 44.32 % of what I say
myself. I have a switchable skepticism filter. I believe skepticism is an
evolutionary trait people have to function in reality, even though I believe
there’s a lot more out of reality we even imagine. Reality just demands skepticism.
I hate skepticism. Stupid reality.
I joke
around sometimes. Never be autistic, like most doctors are. I despise doctors.
I’m happy I’m
raping PLO2 but I suck playing PLO5 (tag/lag/maniac). Of course PLO5 is a lot
harder than PLO2.
I always run like crap moving up. Regardless of skill level.

Basically I need a staking environment in which Stars assumes no responsability for any crap that happens to people. Stars would just set out a cash out limitation for the stakee and automatic paying back to backers (weekly, monthly, whatever). They could demand minimum weekly traffic as a deal breaker, also add custom deal brakers from backers. They could set playable limits, eg.: For Player124309: PLO50, PLO100, no heads up (for chip dumping prevention), and able to play within a set bankroll management.
I need that, or I'm stuck rebuilding from PLO2. I'm hugely +EV, not asking for anything here. I'm bipolar, I was living on the streets once more, I've learned a lot from rough life experiences, almost faced death a few times, I was mugged and I'm unable to sell anything valuable enough to play above PLO5. Now I'm ok, but I'm extremely pissed with my dad, my mom does not work and I can only ask friends for money. I'm struggling to deal with childish parents and I need to get the fuck out of here.
Just a heads up. This site has a bug with pre typed texts on ms word.
