He is B- on iccup and beat me two times on BGH while bming everybody, he owns an M3 and he is a rich kid. He told me that i'm a bum. I will let him tell us more about his life because i think he is definitly an awesome guy.
Sooooooooo i wanted to start a new BG2 game and to use some mods ( also this blog could help Ghardo because he asked me what are the good mods for BG2 ).
So far i have installed :
-unfinished business - tactics ( i want a real challenge ).
I want to know what are the good npcs mods ( valen ? saulofein ? ) and if there are a few more "light" mods like UB ( i dont want huge off topics quests mods or mods with imba kits / items ).
And i'm also very annoyed by three things ( i need answers because it makes me mad ).
- Why my level 8 thief with 16 @ constitution get 70 hp whereas i was on "easy setting" when i created this char. I should get 8 X (6 + 2) = 64 right ??? I hate when i don't understand the rules ... ( and that how it worked in BG1 at least ).
- i also didnt wanted to do a BG1 run again but i wanted to get the +1 books. i have tried with cluaconsole cheat but i can't use the books of charisma, wisdom and int. ( str dex and consti works ). When i create those books i can't put them in the "fast inventory". Any solution ? i'm too lazy to learn how to cheat my chars with some editor .
azsdazdsdfsdfgdsfsd facepalm how can u lose this dfsgjdfgjsdfjmsdfjgm... One gaz during the whole game. Pure zeal goon on a map with shitty pathfiding and multiple small chokes arrrrrrrrrrrrggggg this was painful to watch.
Poll: Is therock stupid ? (Vote): yes (Vote): no he is retarded.
TheRock played really well early and midgame. But after the big attack in middle against the two expos by Fbh he starts to waste TONS of units and he still stays with low tech .... I guess that trading 12 zealots for one tank isn't a good idea.
I'm really bored of broodwar atm. I have no more fun macroing, and sadly macro is at least 70% of your beloved game. So i started to play poker "seriously" ( but still on micro sng ).
So i know that i should post on Liquid Poker ( i will probably make an account here ) but i dont want to be bullied by the vets with my nooby questions. Moreover i lurk a bit here and i think some people give bad advices / or are always joking with beginners so i prefer to ask advices here .
So here is my story with poker. Two years ago a friend showed me that you could play for fun online and even get some free-rolls, and interested by the game i started to play just for fun ( and really bad ) on everest. But i still prefered bw so i didnt really play a lot. Then this year i was at university with another friend who is badly addicted to poker ( the guy lost 5000 euros in his two first months of poker :O ).
During the year we did some retarded turbo sng with rebuy with other university friends. I won one ( i got really lucky ) and i came back to home with 60 euros ) and i put 10 $ on everest and started to play cash game ( at the lowest limits ). Obviously i lost my 10 $ quite fast. I wasnt really worried and i came back to bw who was my main passion during this period ( if you remember my previous blogs ).
But few weeks ago i got really bored by bw and i really enjoyed watching my " degenerate " friend playing. He improved a lot after his two first months but he has still two major flaws for a poker player: he has no br management + he plays drunk ( and nearly always go broke when he does this ). Moreover i was more and more interested by the mathematical aspects of poker ( i study a bit maths at university and even if overall i dislike it, i have always enjoyed probability problems with cards / dices ).
So when my friend went broke one more time he tried to use the Poker-strategy br and asked me to create an account because he would benefit of their "tell- a -friend" offer.
Hence i started to read stuff here and on liquid poker, and i tried to do the "small-stack" strategy on the lowest cash limits on Titan poker. That was horrible, i never felt as bored of life. I was playing like a bot and after losing like 5$ i decided to stop cash game because i disliked it.
I remembered that Rekrul said that many people suck at poker because they play to win money and to gamble instead of enjoying the game and trying to get better.
So i tried hu sng 1$+0,20 and after few wins i started to run bad and probably to tilt. After losing 3 games in a row to a donk who liked coin flips ( this guy went allin pre flop with J 10 i called with AQ and i lost .. ) i felt that my nerves couldnt stand the high variance of hu so i stopped and tried the 1$+0,20 sng with 6 players.
It was a really good choice. I enjoy it more than hu, i can play on 2 or 3 table at the same time, and it seems that variance is way lower here. Moreover i started to play really really good ( for my standarts lol )+ having some really good hands. I'm playing really tight atm and it works. I read my opponents way better than before too. And i think that over my 20 last sng i only made 10 bad decisions.
This may look quite pretentious but i think now that i'm playing well ( on this kind of micro sng only lol )+ i enjoy playing a lot. Nevertheless i'm not retarded and i know that with such a small sample i cant know if i really played well or if got lucky.
here is my sharkscope graph:
So my main question is: after how many sng will i know that i'm good enought for higher stakes ? ( i want to move to 5$+1 with 6 people ).
Should i put a bit of money to increase my br and to move up , or should i grind slowly to get more money before moving ?
In my previous blog entry i told you guys that i searched a noob clan to improve my pathetic level and someone told me to join no.9) on East. I spend few days with my ger friend on their channel then we joined the clan because they were C-/D+/D level and some were really nice.
But after few weeks thanks to Bwchart we discovered that your dear leader no.9)night.mare was a multicommand hacker. He denied it and after reflexion ( and after being banned of some games because he gave no.9) a bad reputation ) i left no.9) like many other cool guys. Moreover my Ger friend crashed his hardrive and cant play for 3 weeks so no more 2v2 for me.
So i came back on Europe, but i still dont find cool guys of my level to play ( all my friends on Europe are way better or way worse ) so i started to play 3v3 Hunter and Ums again ... So this night after some retarded Phantom games on East i remembered of the clan (OD) ( mostly because i had an epic flame war about bugs rights with Fragkrag(OD) ^^ ) and i went to their channel, i asked if the clan is gm, the level of the members, i told them my story with no.9) and i asked to obs a game ( i was quite tired and i wanted to see what is the level of the average clan (OD) member ).
Now the drama begins.
They started an obs game on python ( i was on adv because min hacker detection is so usefull when you play phantom on East ) and i saw "yare(OD) has left the game" and same for the two other guys. So i left quickly like when people drop when they havent chaos laucher. I thought it was a drop. I didnt know if it was me or them.
Then i'm back on the channel but yare and the others guys werent here. So i /w him i ask him if he dropped. And he answers me something like: " go back to your noob hacker clan this is an anti oblivion map so if you dropped it is because you uses oblivion".
I was ...... Wtf ? I asked him to remake the same map to see if i would drop again but he banned me two times.
So i ask you guys is it possible to drop on this kind of map when you are on adv ? Seems so...
I decided to make this blog because since January me and a friend try to improve our 1v1 and 2v2 broodwar skills. We both think that joining a "noob" team ( on Europe ) could help us because playing versus new partners is always something good.
About our level: We arent total noobs but we are still quite bad : 1v1 level : - My friend is currently C- on iccup with a win ratio slightly inferior to 50 °/o
- I didnt played a lot of 1v1 on iccup but i think that i have the same level than him ( i could probably be C- too with average win ratio / dodge good players ).
2v2 level : We play on iccup and we are ranked C- with a win ratio around 45 °/o ( nevertheless we dodge gosus with 15-0 stats ;X ).
Motivation: - We are quite active so we try to play everyday and we really want to become better. I think C+ / B- level could be a great challenge for us .
- My "secret goal": I want to improve a lot to beat a friend who always rape me even with his off races ( Moffo is B on iccup ).
So if you are interested or if you know some "noob" and mannered clans who recruit people message me on Europe ( Boblion ) or my friend ( Luxdei )( Btw he is German ). You can also post in my blog .
