|
|
Ladies, Gents..... May I proudly present:
THE CDM 2012 POKERSTARS.FR MEGA-THREAD!!!!!!!!
You already know what is it folks. In '11 I milked out a few grand playing on Stars.fr. I ran bad... I played bad... And I average 5% ROI at tiny stakes and therefore made around $1 per game for my trouble. In '12, I don't *hope* things will be different.... I ALREADY KNOW IT!
The place that poker currently has in my life is that I'll be using a good chunk of my BR to pay rent/expenses monthly. My 2012 build is going to feature a monthly withdrawal and I'm 99% I'll use a 30BI type rule (i.e. €300-€10, €600-€20, etc..), however I might opt to go more or less aggressive as the year goes on. I'm extremely confident in my game right now and I found myself recently clowning people as low as €10 to now game selecting the €50s. Let's get to the goals:
- 600 games minimum monthly!
- Goldstar minimum (platinum star if possible)!
- AND A SPECIAL TREAT: CDM's LOWSTAKES MEGAVIDEOS. Watch as the infamous Irishman crushes the soul's of arrogant French microstakers. Learn the goto chatbox insults ("ta mere boit de la kro", "connard", and much much more!!!). Understand how to run better when flipping. Tilt control! Demolishing low stakes LP by deploying CDM's patented triple barrel w/ river shove!!!! All as a special gift to Tagpoker, 1 video a month MINIMUM!!!!!
That's all I got folks, I'm off to warm up for a session by embarassing some €10 players now. Keep it real in '12, friends.
Don't be scared.
CDM

|
|
OK TAGPOKER - If you're a $3.50 player scared to move up... If you're a $7 player who hates looking at his hourly because it's a pittance compared to what others or making or what you feel you SHOULD be making... If you're a $15 player who thinks he'll never make any real money....
GET IN HERE
I've clocked in 0 volume this month, and the games I did play I ran/played bad in. What's my excuse? THERE IS NO EXCUSE. I've been lazilly sitting the odd €10-€30 and not doing great. However, I've finally found a new place to move into... and it's struck me that the first thing I'll need to buy is one of the most bare, basic, 21st century man NECESSITIES.......................
CDM'S 2012 POKER MEGA CHALLENGES #1: A TELEVISION SET IN 6 DAYS PLAYING €10s
Now, your average person has to dip into their work money or their life savings or *shudder* even hire purchase a TV. Luckilly, I'm a Tagpoker LEGEND who can clock in a bare basic bit of volume, take some money off the donks at Pokerstars.fr, and then frisbee to the main in the uniform at my nearest Powercity, wheel a TV through the door just in time to catch UFC 143: Diaz vs Condit! I know most of you are reading this thread and you're probably saying "But CDM, you've played as high as €100, it won't take you long to win a TV! This isn't a *real* challenge!!!" Well my friends, just for you and YOU ALONE, TAGPOKER, I will be playing *EXCLUSIVELY* €10S! "BUT CDM!!!!" You say, "You're a mid stakes master capable of getting an hourly that's around the COST of a TV!!!! With your schedule how are you going to get in enough volume in 6 days to be +60 buyins by the end of the week?" Firstly, you're too kind, Tagpoker.... Secondly, I not only PROMISE I'LL MAKE 60 BUYINS *OR MORE* AT €10 THIS WEEK, I'LL BE RECORDING IT IT JUST AS A SPECIAL TREAT TO TAGPOKER.CO.UK!!!!! The reason I'm doing this challenge is the following:
- I want to show that a good, healthy, HUGE ROI is possible at even the most mundane of stakes versus the most inhuman of players
- This ROI is MAINTAINABLE if you focus on being in the moment, always endeavouring to play your a-game in each individual moment of each individual hand.
- That even if you don't have huge aspirations in poker, if you sharpen up your game you can net enough in a week of CASUAL playing to fund purchases like TVs... Motorbikes... Cars... ETC
- That I am a baller
- To begin my "CDM's MEGAVIDEO Series 2012"
- *Most importantly*: if you find a specific poker 'level' too BORING or mundane, it's a sign you're in a HURRY TO WIN MONEY.... If you're in a hurry in GENERAL in poker you're going to cost yourself DORRAHS! BIG TIME DORRAHS!
Finally, I'd actually like to ask for a bit of help. As I said my budget will be €600 (probably more though), I watch a little bit of sports and some movies, not much else. What should I be buying? Is plasma good? I really am clueless.
will be playing EXCLUSIVELY €10 turbo SNG shootouts and I absolutely 100% guarantee I will be +€600 for Tuesday, 24th -> Sunday 29th. If for some reason this is all a bust (e.g. I accidentally put my right hand in a meat grinder + can't click a mouse, I get hit on the head and am severely concussed) I'll be picking this up for a tenner:

Haha cdm, you have the most entertaining threads related to poker ever. Please do keep us updated. I believe you shall make it, will be hard, however am willing to bet €10 just for fun. Goodluck nevertheless, though I doubt you need much luck vs the braindead €10 pokerstars.fr population.

|

OK!!! So I wrapped up work today and dived onto the filthy degen €10 shootout tables. I actually ran like dogshit for the first 10 particularly on final tables... One genius managed to get it in 3bet shoving light around 4 times, mostly like with bad jacks or queens like 15 bbs eff., but one egregiously bad shove was K9o vs my AK after i minraised pre. The power of the minraise in endgame play against a variety of opponents is something every low-stake player should know about. Anyhow, despite that setback I went to smash and got a decent ROI + hourly!
€113.20 down, €486.80 to go. _________________ “If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose” - C. Bukowski |
