Hey folks,
I'm moving my blog to CardRunners.com.
Its pretty easy to navigate on there just click 'blogs' tab on top and search 'Rollover2k'.
Or follow this link:
http://blogs.cardrunners.com/Rollover2k
The software isn't a step up or anything, but I will post more there given that I am logged in fairly regularly to post on the forums and keep up with making training vids etc.
Expect the same type of post though, as always writing is a way I kind of chill out and relax so I'll be spouting off about whatever I like per usual.
Thanks for reading here guys, hope you make it over to the CR blog, and if you are unable to see it for whatever reason let me know and I will cross post.
Gl at the tables.

Novembering
Hey folks,
Long time no updates, a direct reflection of my school schedule I assure you.
To start, thanks to anyone who still follows my blog despite how intermittent the posts are.
November was another low volume/high earnings month. I really have run well the past 30k hands or so which equals roughly 3 months for me lol.
I only played 8k hands last month, banked about 10 ptbb/100 though hah. I don't like to number drop on my monthly gains/losses as most of you know, so if anyone is really thaaaat interested you can derive a range from that winrate.
I have been trying to play HU, its a borderline enjoyable form of poker when you aren't running cold.. which is alot coming from me.
Be interested to hear some opinions about the way the games are changing currently. I don't know why, but I'm not seeing as quick of progression as I noticed say at the end of last year. Maybe I'm improving at a greater rate or something, who knows.
UB/AP scandal piece was on 60 mins last night, didn't get a chance to watch it, but I hear its as expected. Not necessarily condemning online poker, but certainly not giving the full story.
What do you guys think of the UB/AP Cereus network launch. I am actually very pleased with it now, the slight software changes tilted me a bit at first, but they really did amp up security (no more instant 30k transfers haha) and the games are a bit lively.. I'm sure moreso in NLHE since there where like 5 PLO players on AP.
Its also insanely cool that we get to multi-account lol, what I mean by that if you are unfamiliar with the changes, is if you had the same name on UB/AP they forced you to change the most recent one. This means I can now play in anonymity from AP if I want, but still maintain my transfer reputation with my Rollover2k account on UB.
They have also reinstated the transfer ability between sites so funding either name is no problem.
I hope that this is part of a larger plan to buy up some small sites and integrate them into the network. This, in my opinion, will be the most efficient way for Tokowiro Enterprises to build the Cereus brand up. Stealing share from Stars and FTP is just too large of an impediment to put it in Marketing 300 terms lol.
The transfer business is going well, still haven't had any bad/unclean transfers, and I have expanded to supply BofA money now as well. I think the vigs (premium on trades) we are able to charge as traders is being driven down. I am noticing people are driving a hard bargain to pay 3% even on Stars/Cereus or Stars/Cake. I don't expect this transfer market to exist forever, but there is still life in it I thinkg.. and even at 1% per trade, my money is doing more for me here than it could in a traditional investment.
Really I'll have to wait for more UIGEA regs to take effect before I'm able to really predict where this is going.
I just made a 4pt series at 5/10 PLO on stars for CR. It goes up this week and the following 3 wks starting Thursday.
It has no consistent theme, I just wanted to really focus on depth of analysis on this one and building reads. I think it has some of the most interesting spots and plays of any my vids although the commentary is semi-dry.
Hope you guys like it.
Thats all for now, have a good one guys.

October and beyond
October ended up being a pretty great month despite dropping 20-30k on my last session. I hadn't realized how well I was doing.
Played alot of hu on ub early this month. There were two players shortstacking, well like 30-50bb actually, who were awful but had run up their accounts quite nicely. So I played a near all night session after these two guys, who constantly hit & ran and berated me. Frustrating, but a necessary evil.
Anyways by the end of the night one guy had left with what I think was around 10k in his account, good for him, the other guy I all but broke, hey had 408.50 or something left. So satisfying.
Also running about 10k below equity on my tracked hands this month.
I started working on a new vid series yesterday. Got about 3 hrs of 5/10 4-tabling. I am excited about this series because I think I did a good job leverages a TAG image, which I kind of lacked at in the previous vids.
Right now I'm shooting for a 4 part vid with a bonus pokertracker review.
I am swamped on work though. Presentation tomm, then I gotta start working on the next two as well as write a 10 pg case study for biz law.
Really do hate school, don't know how some people enjoy this stuff.
I don't have much time to post, let alone post with movie reviews anymore so they are getting cut. If I see soemthing I think is real good I'll throw in a plug.

Anyone get away from this one? Feel like my lead looks weaks so I can't fold. I dunno though. Obv gameflow/player is a big deal here, but I don't wanna go through all that.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3426712
I really thought I had him pegged on this one. Guess thats a little fancy play syndrome. I think if he has like 800 behind after betting riv he folds tho. Really I didn't think he'd be the river though, I thought I could float and then just take it.
Thats all for now folks, gl at the tables.
ps. a simple plan, billy bob and bill paxton.. pretty sweet movie. Massive amounts of irony.

Couple Hands because this is a poker blog.
Before I put it off here's a few hands from last night:
ZOIKS SCOOB!
I obviously am not in this hand but I thought it was pretty interesting. Eugene makes what I feel is a good call here, I mean he called the bluff... but the bluff won.
Keep your hand on the trigger
This was shortly after the previous hand, otherwise I might not have made this 3-bet. My intention was to 3-bet/fold to a push, but Eugene's raise to 6k instead of the max just gave away that he didn't have AAxx imo. So easy push given the surrounding situation although this hand looks pretty bad in a vaccum
Tehnik sir, your car is ready to take you to valuetown
Verse some players I am 3-betting this flop to max out my fold equity and fold out alot of the draws that are medium strength but would have me dominated. However, Tehnik is not in the business of folding so I think this is a call, its definately closer to a fold than a 3-bet vs this player, with Call being the best option.
On the turn I have no choice but to ram it, I have a guy who can't fold on a drawy board, if he turned the bigger straight, well NH!
River again is an easy value bet with so little left behind, I hope this hand doesn't cause a mad rush to Cake Poker.
UFC fights for free on Spike tonight at 9 pm, keep an eye on Brandon Vera v. Keith Jardine.. I think Vera is going to come out on top here.
GL at the tables folks.

Whew, relief
Just finished easy the toughest week I have ever had academically.
I am in 7 classes, which is enough to worry about, but I had 6 exams this week as well. Just really had no time to come up for air. Its done now though, I worked hard, whatever comes out of it is fine.
On the poker front I have played very little this month, maybe 3.5k hands, most in one session where I played a big HU match on Cake at 50/100 and 25/50. This match was extremely frusterating because I am positive I absolutely handled my opponent. I have never leveraged my image as well as I did in this match. I still ended up down around 20k though.
Missed some key hands: Twice I 3-bet pre early in the match flopped top pair and nut flush draw in one, top pair nut flush draw + gutter in the other and stacked off. both hands opponent flopped nuts, top set in the top pair one and nut straight in my top pair+ gutter and fl draw one.
Missed both, and then missed a true wrap at 50/100 for a big pot. Also stacked off on the turn with a middle set into a 2 fl draw board, A high w/ an A high blocker. There was one straight combo on the board after turn... guess what : )
I won a big pot at 25/50 after min 4-betting about 250 BB deep vs villian who covered. There was a lot of cold calling of 3-bets going on and I really wanted to induce a 4-bet which I easily had odds to call and chase out some of the loose players behind. Anyways, someone cold called my min 4-bet and the villian 5-bet which was still an easy call for me.
Can't remember exact hand but had something like K789ds, hand that plays much better HU and against heavy preflop action than otherwise. Anyways flopped a gutter top pair and second flushdraw and stacked off of course, won a 25k pot there lucky me
Then at 4:30 am right before I was going to quit I opened with 99K8, and got 3-bet.. I dunno this might be dumpable pre in a situation like this where his 3-bet range is wide.. but it was soooted so I called. Q93 rainbow, he leads, I raise, he 3-bets, I push... to be honest I wanted to fold when he 3-bet me becuase he had only done so with the mortal nuts all night... but seriously who can fold mid set in a 3-bet pot HU.. even at 250 bb deep. Anyways, he had the mortal nuts of course and I lost a 25k pot. Had to quit right after that, no way I can play my best after that.
So rough match, but I'm proud of the way I played.
-----
I have a break this weekend, no class monday or tuesday so I am going home tomm then heading to illinois to see a girl in peoria, then sunday I'm gonna head into Chicago with my friend to see his bro who works for CardRunners there. Monday we are going to visit the CR office and have lunch with whoever is in that day. Should be pretty interesting, might make a video on site, I'm pretty excited about seeing the operation and obv meeting Taylor and Wiggins.
I'll post a trip report if it is notable, hope to have more poker content.. but to do that I gotta play some hands...GL at the tables folks.
PS. Debates make me sick.
