What's Your Edge
september was a pretty good month poker wise. The first day of october i had a bad day dropping like 19k at 10/20. I started playing too many tables and probably wasnt playing my best. I took about a week off and have been playing pretty well ever since. I decided I'm going to start grinding hard and putting in some constraints to help me along.
-If i'm playing 6max i wont play more than 4 tables, but ill try to keep to 3 unless games are very good. Full ring, at most 6, but ill try to play less usually.
-Putting in a 3 buyin stop loss. If i lose 3 buyins i am quitting no matter how good the games are, ill go read or workout or something and then come back later.
-Going to try to play at least 1500 hands a day. this isnt a lot but given my restriction in tables played and forced stop losses i think this is a good amount of hands.
-Will take more shots at bigger games instead of staying put and grinding middle stakes. Will try to play mostly 10/20 for now but will start moving up to 25/50 when games look good
-no aim, msn or internet while im playing. just music, pt, and my games.
Hopefully these guidelines help me stay on pace to end the year strong. I feel i am playing very well lately and besides a few mistakes here and there, I have really improved my game a lot.
my buddy cutsss from liquidpoker just got 2nd in a wpt event in barcelona.
from now on any live tourney i go to i am going to try to emulate the look he had in this tourney:
i met him this summer in vegas and he seemed like a nice, docile, happy little frenchy. Then i see this picture and i fear for my life. Gonna start practicing this look in the mirror.

for the record, this is the most dangerous thing that a human being can do. do not tell your insurance company about any base jumping exploits.
Radiohead came out with a new cd.
Check this article out: http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/atoz/2007/10/new_radiohead_album_in_rainbow.php
New Radiohead album In Rainbows Available October 10! At your own price. No, Seriously.
Leave it to Radiohead to finally and completely give the biggest middle finger ever to the record industry.
After being mum and cryptic (okay, well, that's not new) about new music and a new album -- I had lost hope for this year -- this weekend if one clicked over to Radiohead.com, the site immediately redirects you to the following URL: http://www.inrainbows.com/Store/Quickindex.html, which has a pretty multicolored effect.
The next page has the following message:
Radiohead have made a record. So far, it is only available from this website. You can pre-order it in these formats: Discbox and Download.
OMG!
Yes, it's true -- In Rainbows, a new Radiohead record, is coming out in ten days. Record label what?
But wait! IT GETS BETTER.
The next page contains links to purchase a Discbox -- which states it will be shipped on or before December 3, 2007; for 40 pounds, it's the vinyl version AND a CD AND a digital download -- or a digital download (details sent by email, only no downloading before October 10, none of the extra content on the discbox).
BUT WAIT! IT GETS BETTER!
If you decide to just order the digital download, you name your price, what you want to pay for the album. Seriously. You decide what to pay. Click on a question mark, and it says "It's up to you." Click on it again and it says, "No, really, it's up to you." You can pay nothing. You can pay a lot of money. It's your choice.
Hear that? That was my head just exploding with thoughts of commodity and the worth of music and how you can or cannot put a price on music, and philosophy and psychology of consumer choice. Etc. Etc. And the fact that Radiohead is fucking releasing its new album on a web site, with ten days' notice.
I pre-ordered the download. Decided to pay 7 pounds, or roughly $14. Because I have Catholic guilt and, like, worry that if i don't give any money I won't get the CD or something.
God, I love Radiohead.
How awesome is that?
I've been listening to the cd a lot the past couple days and it is really really good. It's the first cd i can think of that i dont skip one song on. Others have been close but i almost always skip songs on cds and this one i listen to straight through every time.
It's like a combo of amnesiac and ok computer, basically there arent really any hits but the cd flows really well and all the songs are very good with a sound in between those 2 albums. I def would recommend getting it, i paid 15 bucks for it.
As for ms paints, i made one yesterday. So SCtrojans, a very good mtt player who puts in a ton of volume went a little crazy yesterday cause people constantly say he runs good and he doesnt often get credit for being a sicko. In reality, when you play 9000 mtts a month youre going to get lucky sometimes but whatever. So after his crazy rant, we went on his facebook wall and here was the result:
And here is my mspaint...
I havent been playing much poker lately. After wcoop ended, i had a bad day at 10/20, lost about 18k, and havent played since. Ive just been playing starcraft, working out, and doing some backing work. Ill probably start playing again next week.

Radiohead album is good- but the sounds quality blows. Sounds shitty as soon as you turn it up on decent speakers. I was all for this concept, but now it looks like I'll end up having to buy the real CD anyways.
I put postits over my hole cards and played blind at 2/4 full ring on 2 tables.
I lost about 1.5 buyins, but it was pretty fun. I wont be posting the video on CR though, there really isnt a lot to learn from it and i didnt really play my best. I tried to make a little too much happen and sort of got shat on. I adjusted badly to how the 2/4 full ring players play compared to the higher stakes 6max players on ftp.
Ill post some funny hands from it though:
LOL!
The entire video up to that point i hadnt flat called preflop because i had no idea what i was holding, but then i decided it was smart to flat call sometimes and play back at people on flops.
My thinking was he had AA or JJ when he called the flop so i continued on the turn. He called the turn really quickly then checked the river after a pause so i assumed AA and Axcc made up a big portion of his range and QQ wasnt very likely (but if he had it he might fold the river!). I thought he might be slowplaying AK but figured enough of his range was going to fold.
:(
I went through my hands and checked but never got AA, KK or QQ. I did fold 99, TT and AKo pre though!
I was praying he would fold. Would have been funny if he shoved and i folded.
Oh well, i dont think ill try going through with this video again. It was fun but It takes a lot of patience and there isnt a ton to learn from it because i think its more important in videos to show people how to get max value with certain hands and when to fold in certain spots etc.

Hi,
is there a possibility to watch your Video anyway?
I really would like to see it,even if it isnt instructive.
Oct 3, 07 14:50:38
yea i think this vid would be awesome. also, are u gonna make any video anytime soon?
God what a woman.
Sorry helga, but im leaving you. Your drinking is out of control. Byrnesam took this picture of you
People dont understand how you get when you drink. It was fun while it lasted but Mig was right. You are a whore. Tdomeski and all the others can have you as im sure they have many many times before.
It's ok, im happier with erin.
She takes me on adventures and she wants to do more than just drink all the time.
Good bye helga. I hope one day you finally find AA to help you with all your drinking problems.
So lately whenever im being a railbird people on the tables all ask me about helga. One particular person is tdomeski, who constantly tells me he is going to steal helga from me. At the time i was in an msn chat with nazgul and mig and i mentioned this.
ryan says:
tdomeski: thx daut
tdomeski: if i win this i might get helga
ryan says:
wtf
ryan says:
people thinking they can have my helga
Mig says:
helga is a whore
Mig says:
they probably can
I let taylor know what mig thought in the chat. Later that day i got this email:

Helga is a Daut's dream woman...super sexxy I might add... go get em Daut
Sep 28, 07 16:32:28
that girl causes some serious wood... daut ur blog is great and underappreciated keep it up
obv i look most like taylor hanson. now that conversation quagmire was having about me makes perfect sense.....
I've been running insanely hot this week, but i feel like im playing very well. Despite that, i can still feel room for improvement. im very motivated to try to move into bigger games, but im a huge bankroll nit and will probably wait till i have 40 buyins (online bankroll) for any level before moving up. So i'll continue grinding 3/6 -10/20 for a while until my online bankroll is back up to 200k ish and then move back into 25/50.
Wcoop starts tomorrow and im pretty excited to give tourneys another go. i came close in 3 events last year but couldnt close out anything better than a ft 2 table finish. hopefully i can pull down a big score this year.
anyway. ill come up with some good mspaints next week when im in ac.

Thanks for the stats, interesting to note how much more agressive you are at the highter levels. Nice work!!
I really like the 10/20 games on ftp. I've been running well in the sense that i've gotten way more monsters than I should. I'm not really winning more allins than i should probability wise, just getting into lots of good situations, which definitely wont last but its fun to ride the rush out.
Im going to grind a lot the upcoming days, mostly at 3/6 and 5/10 on stars. Id like to make another 5-10k before i play in the 10k borgata wpt event this weekend. It's nice to more than pay for an event before you play it, i will feel like im freerolling it and will definitely play better.
On a side note, id like to say that daniel negreanu is my hero. he managed to get deep tables for 100/200 nl on stars within an hour of requesting (minimum buyin 50bb) and is a really nice guy. I also suspect that he will be an online beast in the future when he learns how to fully adjust to online play. It's great to see someone as influential, personable and legendary come to stars to really get the important changes made to make stars even better than it was.
And one last note, i think in the next few weeks ill make the video i promised a while back. There are a lot of options for it and im open to suggestions on what people want to see.
Sep 27, 07 08:02:02
Hey Daut,
congrats on the success...with regard to 10/20, how many tables do you play and why...also, if you could elaborate on your shot at 200/400, thatd be great...thanks
