Nature of the Beast... Poker in the US

Its been a few years since my last update but just to let everyone know ARIOLIS30 is back!!!
Been putting in thousands of hands again but I just spread it across different sites and just not FTP and Pokerstars.  I tried my hand on Merge (ariolisEH), and BCP on the winning poker network (holaariolis) as well as Intertops.  I also play on a few other sites but I dont want to really out my gamename.  But yes i  amcollecting rakeback w some sick ass deals but im actually playing really good poker and expanding my game to 6 max... uh oh!!!!   Ariolis30 @ 6 max what has the world coming to.  And no im not running 12 10 and not the same nit that everyone has grown to love.  I may not be Supernova Elite anymore but the US poker has some really good RB deals thats super +EV if you know where to play.  I tried BEAST on BCP and got 3rd one month but took a break from that and am working on a +EV game.  And top 10 in like every rake race im in lol.   So in a way im doing the same things but im doing it better.  This is a very encouraging sign.  Being in Mexico and being around poker players taught me a lot about my game when I moved back.  Anyways the whole point of this post was to let you guys know online poker in the US is still alive.... imma bring it back!!!

MEXICO

Its been awhile since ive posted on here and all my posted are uninteresting and uneducational but I feel the need at the moment to bitch and complain!! haha.

For those who know me I am now in Rosarito Mexico. Originally I was going to move to Canada but I really hate cold weather and just decided to drive across the border to Mexico instead. I have a roommate who grinds as well so it made the transition much easier. There is a decent size poker base here in Rosarito, grinders that grind many different kinds of games MTT's Hypers, SNGs everything and in such a small area. For those that are looking to make the move and play some online poker i actually recommend it here, its not as dangerous as people may think... the food is good and its cheap as shit. I live in California so its only a 2 and half hour drive from where I live if I want to escape.

SNE!!!
So with the new VPP system doing what I did before (grind full ring cash 25-100) its going to be hell to even make an attempt at it. I doubt there will be any Elites this yea from 100 FR cash its just simply impossible unless your sticking in your stack every 10 hands (not literally) for 15-20k hands a day. I mean im pretty sure that I can do it but imma make my life more miserable then it already is so im leaning towards just letting it go finally after 3 years but well see my status ends march or april so ill reevaluate then.

As far as the grind itself... well I havent been getting smashed like I was before I left stars... turned into a small winner over a million hands sample size. I dont think I got much better tbh but I realized some things. I dont really care to share those things atm but maybe in a later post I will. But I started at 25nl now im back to 50 100 200. But things I realized when I was down at 25 was ....

- theres more shit talking down there as opposed to any other stake. it must be small stack syndrome but regs are always talking crap to other regs and its quite embarrassing. i just ignore it but i feel embarrassed for them that they are talking so much smack at 25nl, YES i repeat 25 NL!!!! lol. but now im pretty much back at 100 so i dont have to deal with those idiots lighting up the chat box like a bunch of virgin morons. Its not all regs its just some btw lol

- if you cant beat 25nl might as well give up on poker. poker is not for everyone

Future poker plans!!!

Going to go another round of Vegas with the same crew I went with last time... Were prolly going to live with each other every summer till we die but yes I will be at the WSOP 2012 and I cant wait....

G

wat are the odds of this happening on back to back days lol

I should have just jammed pre... i knew before that hand i felt it that someone was going to hit a frkin set... 100% of the time...

I mean this doesnt beat my AA getting flushed on by AA 2 times in 20 minute story or my KK getting cracked by AA 7 times in 1 set (1 set being 3-5k hands)

I think im just a stubborn guy and i hate it when im constantly failing at something...

Im Taking My Talents to Full TIlt Poker... black card???

"Enough is enough and its time for a change".... I got tired of grabbing my ankles and decided that it was time to flip sights... well for a lil bit hahaha now im kinda stuck on both and going to go for SNE and black card... Since i started 4 days ago i havent had a losing day on it, maybe its cause I play less tables and dont suck as hard when i do... anyways no matter how much i bitch about how miserable I am Ill always find a way to sneak in 2-3k vpp a day...

Anyways I have a new setup now... copilot or pt3 werent cuttin it anymore so I got parrallels awhile back and now finally using wat everyone else uses hem. Its taking me a lil to get adjusted to the new setup but ill have it down w/in a week and be back to grinding my 10-15k hand days. Anyways Im back to throwing in some MTT's into my grind so hopefully I can box some tourneys in the near future.... if your a fr grinding i recommend throwing in some mtts or sngs to keep you from going insane... playing 9-12 hours a day or cash can be brutal at times so change it up every once in awhile and have some fun.

As far as life itself... i havent partied or took a sip of alchy in awhile. I was playing beer pong the other day with non- alchoholic beer!! Why you ask??? Just supporting one of my friends that quit so i dont want him to feel like shit and be the only one not getting drunk. Lets see how long this lasts hahaha ... but yea almost puked playing it not cause I was getting drunk ( dont even know if this is possible ) but mostly becuz of the sheer volume of it. Drank so much i felt like I should have just stuck my finger down my throat and let it all out lol.

Anyways im doing a lot better... not really losing as much n e more working on my game "life could be good again"

you can find me on ftp under "senditariolis30"

Okay now its on!

Last year was a wake up call for me... i got completely smashed at the tables, and its the worst year ive had since ive turned pro online... its funny because each year ive made less and less with the first year I started i was making the most money (500k vpp ftw). I was doing too many -ev things besides sucking at the tables as of late and just playing just to put in hands.... but other then that some things you might want to do before you go for Supernova Elite

1) stop drinking on the weekends so your not hung over on sundays to the point in which you a- cant even play and b- not play optimally

2) stay healthy... very very important. Working out and eating right will help you a lot... thats one thing i was doing before deciding to go for supernova elite on back to back years... i was eating like shit and working out minimally... game time now !

3) stop spewing money in life... shit these fpps are hard earned money no need to blow it on doing stupid things. i would go to restaurants and get stuff i wouldnt even eat... i would take a bite and leave the rest of it, i would get 2 entrees (makes no sense). I made too many vegas trips which were -ev... the list goes on and on

4) plan better... set some goals for yourself... and dont play just to play. i cant stress that enough. everyday try to get better which is something that imma focus more on this year...

If SNE happens this year then it happens if it doesnt it doesnt... all i know is the year that i didnt go for it is the year that i showed the most profit... gotta be more efficient and not just put hands in for the sake of putting hands in...

good luck in those going for it this year... may this year be profitable
