    Quick question. Is there any way to datamine Poker Stars with Poker Tracker with out sitting at the table?I've noticed that PT only logs hands on PS when I am sitting on the table. On Party Poker PT would log every hand for every table that I had open reguardless if I was sitting down at the table or not.

    Top pair with the nut flush draw and gutshot draw to the nuts against a player you have marked as a loose aggressive retard, I don't see anything wrong with how you played the hand.Obviously if we don't have the draws on the turn we should slow down. Against a player you know is tight you might slow down also, but seeing as how the villian is donkey I like it.

    PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is SB with [7c], [Ac]. 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.Flop: (4 SB) [Tc], [6s], [Jc] (4 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls.Turn: (3.50 BB) [Jh] (3 players)Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls.Normally I'm calling with the nut-flush all day. Just trying to think in a differant light here. I put him on a jack, so when he bets out on the turn I figure he's tripped up which makes my ace no good if it hits, and at that point I'm getting 3.5-1 so the pot doesn't seem big enough to make it worth it to stick around.

Capped on flop and then two bet by the time it was back to me on the turn. I felt like I was up against an over set, even though I know the odds of an over set on the flop.

    The Turning Stone Casino runs a spread limit 1/3 game that my sisters boyfriend was telling me about.What he told me though is the game is spread limit. You can bet or raise in between one and three dollars on any street.My experience is only in fixed limit games, so what would be differant about playing in the spread limit game as opposed to a fixed limit game? And how much should I bet on each street?My first instict is to bet the maximum every time I suppose. Why wouldn't you?

    how much to sit with?

    I wouldn't worry too much about what people are thinking about you based on the size of your stack.Any one that is judging your poker prowess based on how many chips you have in front of you obviously has no idea what they are doing, and you'll be taking their money soon too.Let 'em think what they want. You just keep making the right play and don't worry what your chip stack is.

    Online it dosen't really matter, as long as you have 12BB at the start of every hand. That is what you need to cap it on every street.I like to sit down with 30-40bb's. The looser the table the more I buy in for. Why? Because I'm going to get sucked out on more so I'm going to need more.It's a hard mental block to get over, it took me a long time, but as long as you are playing better than every one at the table, you are getting the best of it. Reguardless of what the actual result of the hand ends up being. i.e. who won.I play at a horrid NLHE game on Tuesday and Thrusdays. I get sucked out on left and right, and well my friends, who are just as good as I am, go home after loosing two or three buy ins, all pissed off because someone called their $10 raise preflop with Q-6o and caught a four card flush to crack their aces, the more I put my money in when I'm ahead and the more I loose, the more money I reach for.I end up cashing out UP to $200 usually. I'd say that's a pretty good average for .25/.50 cent blinds, lol.I know you didn't ask to hear any of that, but I figured I'd give you a heads up. When I was in your shoes asking those questions on this site, that is what I was feeling. "How much should I buy in with, because I keep getting sucked out on, and it's pissing me off." Good luck to you.

    Crack,Are you still in contact with your ex? Do you ever see her? Ever talk to her? Even if it’s just once in a great while to see how each other is doing?I ask because I have no contact with my ex-girlfriend. She won’t talk to me. She changed her cell phone number, she blocked my e-mails, she blocked my AOL screen names, and she threatened to have a block put on her parent’s phone. Don’t know if she ever did because I took the hint and left her alone, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she did.I just have to sit here and ask myself. How? How could a person tell some one they will love you forever no matter what, and then do that to you? It wasn’t enough that she had to take off while I was at work one day like a thief in the night. Like I was some scum bag abusive husband and she had no other choice. She just cut off all contact with me. After three years?That’s where I’m fucked up. Because I don’t understand as a person, as a human being, how do you have such disregard for another persons emotions that you claimed you loved so much at one point in your life, to just cut them out of your life like that.I understand people grow apart. Relationships die out. Some times… it’s just not meant to be. But if the shoe was on the other foot and the role was reversed, I would have never done those things to her. The way she ended things was the most horrible insensitive thing any one has ever done to me.But in the end. Does it make it better? It hurts more now, but is it for the best? My parents are getting separated, and maybe one day divorced. Some times though, they see each other. Over the holidays I came home for Christmas so my mother stayed at my father’s house, and they slept together and were affectionate with each other.It’s the same situation. Two people that aren’t meant to be together any more, even though they still love each other. But it seems like it’s easier to deal with for them because they can see each other and in a sense be there for each other to help each other through this.I feel alone. Completely alone. Even if it wasn’t meant to be, some times I just wish I could see her. Just have one more night with her. Make love one last time. Anything. It seems like it would be so much easier to move on.

    I know now though because of the mistakes I made with her and the experience I’ve gained by being with her, that when the time comes for me to fall in love gain I will be better prepared for it.I’ll be a better boyfriend, a better lover and a better provider. Most of all, in my next relationship, I’ll be able to be a lot less selfish and insecure. And I couldn’t have reached that with out going through the things I did with my ex-girlfriend.It just upsets me to think that our relationship was a… training ground for that. That we had to hurt each other to see those things, to reach that point.I didn’t want my relationship with her to be that. That is not what I had in mind for us. But that is what it ended up being. And that hurts a lot right now too.“You have to break few eggs to make an omelet.” I didn’t want us to break for us to one day have a better relationship with other people. I wanted us to have a better relationship with each other.

    Crack,Thanks for sharing that with me. I know that talking about the past, especially in such detail, can bring back negative emotions. Which is why I try not to talk about it a lot as I try to move on, but some times you just have to express yourself.Our situations were similar in some aspect. My ex-girlfriend was raped twice. Once by her ex boyfriend and the second time by a guy she met at her friend’s party. She never told her family about the first time, I was the only person she ever told. And the second time happened well we were together and she waited a year to tell me and her family after it happened.That was probably some of what contributed to part of our break up. I fucked up at one point when the shit hit the fan and asked her if she was really raped or she was just playing it off to get away with cheating on me. It was a dumb insecure thing for me to say and I’m pretty sure a part of our relationship died that night.But anyways we kept growing further and further apart until one day we had an explosive fight that broke the camels pack and she left my life.So now here I am. Living my life day by day. I completely understand embracing the randomness of life. That is what I do. I just go with the flow, where ever it takes me. Even though she left me nine months ago, it still hurts. A lot. Because of that pain nothing I do feels right. Feels like what I should be doing. I go to sleep and she is the last thing I think about at night. When I wake up in the morning she is the first thing I think about.I try to believe that one day I will be happy with another woman, happier! But… it’s not a conviction yet. The pain is still too raw. The part that pisses me off the most though is that even though I know in my mind I will be happy again, I have to go through all this to make myself feel it in my heart.But I guess you can’t get from point A to point B with out actually walking down the road that takes you there. I wish I could speed it up.. I’m sick of dealing with this pain. I’m sick of crying over her, I’m sick of missing the way she use to look at me when she really loved me with all her heart.But you are right. It is better. And compared to other people our stories don’t compare. If it is going to happen sooner or later, better sooner than later I always say. It could have always been worse. You could have gotten married and had kids then had this happen.But the fact that it could have been worse doesn’t do much to make me feel better right now. Like I said before though, I guess you got to go through this shit to get to the end of it. I just hope all the people that tell me that are right.

    Relating to Dixie and Merby's posts: That is the only true fear that I have in my heart. Waking up one morning and realizing I’m not doing what I want to be doing and life has passed me by. I’m nineteen right now, but it seems like the days go by faster and faster with every passing night. I’m stuck some where I don’t want to be right now until the end of August because I have to wait until I turn 20 to get the job I want (A flight attendant for this airline.) It will be the perfect job to support me and provide me with opportunity while I’m building my Nutrition business.I know what I don’t want that is for sure. I don’t want to work for someone else my whole life. I don’t want to be a corporate slave. I don’t want to have a mediocre life. I know all the things I don’t want, but I’m scared because I don’t know how to achieve what I do want and on top of that, what if once I get there it’s not really what I thought it was going to be or I went about the? I’m unhappy and lonely, and what if I get all the money in the world but I’m still unhappy and lonely? I guess it sounds dumb, having never had any real sum of money and living a life at or below the poverty line to then go and say that money wouldn’t help.But I don’t know. Since my ex girlfriend left me, nothing I’ve done has felt right or sure. My future seems so uncertain now, and before when I was with her it seemed so much more certain. It’s the scariest feeling I’ve ever had.

    It's the void.it's a bi-tch.- Jordan
    You don’t have to tell me twice. Some times it hurts so bad I just don’t want to exist. Not commit suicide, because I love being alive and I love life. But just, be completely unattached from any and all emotions. For once in my life I just want to have inner peace. I don’t want to hate her; I don’t want to love her. I want to forgive her and understand her. But I just can’t… not yet.
    Man I know exactly what you're feeling, and to have your heart shattered into a million pieces is one of the most miserable experiences a human being can have. I had mine ripped out of my chest and thrown into a blender about 2 years ago. It is late and I must hit the hay, but in work tommorrow when I'm inevitably doing nothing, wishing I wasn't there, I will put together a long post. I actually can't believe I'm going to do this - I haven't spoken of the breakup in detail in a LONG time, for obvious reasons, but this thread has inspired me. Stay tuned.
    I'll be looking for it. Make sure you post it. I think talking about it does help.
