Poker
I've started playing poker for money again, after the first failed attempt (also, it didn't help that my friend spent half of my money fooling around T_T). Hopefully, if I find some time and motivation I'll try to actually learn poker better, and have less tilt.

After a long while, I'm starting with free $50 again. At first I just fooled around a bit at micro stakes/sng and donated a few bucks, just to get the hang of it and have some fun. AThen I started playing a bit more seriously, but it was kinda a disaster - untill it clicked and I remembered how I used to play. After that I either got in the money or won like 2/3 of the sngs. Got back a few bucks that I lost. Then I lost 2 sngs in a row and was already feeling tierd, so I decided to call it a day. I'm still like two $'s under the $50 mark, but that should improve fast. (was playing 4 tables at the same time... not as much as before, but a good start.)



StarCraft
I switched to terran a few months ago, although I used to play all races so it wasn't as much of a switch as you'd imgaine. I just like terrans macro and dynamics.

Before the switch I was playing zvp, pvt, tvz, zvt, pvz, tvp, tvt and pvp (hate zvz). Basically everything...
  • Zerg was my main race - but my zvt was (and still is - except the muta micro XD) very bad, zvz even worse, only zvp was there to save me since it was (and maybe still is) my best matchup.

  • Therefor I decided to switch to terran so I can sucessfully (more or less ) play vs zerg. Tvp is fun, and I got the hang of it. But my tvt sucks a bit. At least now I have 2 decent matchups instead of just 1 as zerg.

  • With toss I can play all three matchups relatively ok, but I don't like the race too much... it's kinda boring - sterile.

  • And I hate 2v2. Rly. Well except maybe some pimp maps like Iron Curtain, Estrella, Chariots, etc. you get the point. Love 3v3 on hunters.



At the end, here's some of my tvp reps in a small tvp rep pack:
FileFront RapidShare YouSendIt (~2.08 mb, 31 rep)

-Some replays are a bit old, some aren't that good, [insert more excuses here plz xD], etc. but there should be some ok ones for you to watch. (ignore the naming of reps xD)
-Trying more of a macro oriented play now, less creative, as I'm trying to improve my mechanics.
-Most are wins, I usually don't save losses unless they are good games, I want to learn something from them or just memorable games.
-I'm, let's say, D+/C- player on iCC. (though I don't play much there, so I don't know, some people say I'm actually higher than that (~C/C+), but I don't think so)
-Sorry if someone doesn't want his rep there, I just took the bunch of them I had and put them together.
-There also one where I beat kwark! :D (ok he pwnt me all the other games, but still, it's funny XD)


Sooooo cheers and have fun!

because you suck at poker, like everyone in their beginnings, so you shouldn't be trying to play how you used to play but change it

4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

lol hi trance
u serious? xD


hollow, if I were to continue the way I was playing untill I remembered, I'd loose the money in an instant. this way I at least didn't loose it, but kept gaining a small amount. but yeah, you're right.


29 fps, did you change your race? I see your icon is still a zerg one.



a small update:
I'm in plus 10 euro, but I stopped playing - have to read the books and learn a bit more first, and I have to stick to some things... like bankrolls! grrr won a $5 sng, then lost two on the bubble.
