I did not make it to Vegas. Oh well, but I have been grinding on and off (25hours/week). Unfortunately, I have not put in many hours the last 4 weeks or so but pretty much playing 90% HU. I won a small tournament for like 8k at the start.. plus been staking someone so hes been doing pretty good for me too. Plans right now are just to stay in London to grind and spend time with friends.. need to stop taking those cabs must have burnt thru 400 dollars in cabs in June. In August, ill head to Japan cos I want to see it. Then head to Macau for the APPT? Come back for EPT Barca and WSOP Europe. Theres a live touranment at my local casino for £2500 roughly buy in.. capped at 300 players so going to play that in a few weeks time.
Steal City/Donald has been staying with me and think hes gonna stay for another few weeks. We have a surpise for LP that you will have to wait for. Im pretty excited about it. He met one of his friends here.. some Aus dude and hes been sleeping on the couch this week. Probably going to take them to Fabric tonight.. otherwise we have been going out alot.. and trying to grind.
Not much else really.. it has been so hot here in London.. so humid too... hopefully its only a heatwave and doesnt stay like this. I won a massive bet on Pakistan to win the T20 World Cup (which only you cricket fans would know about) .. I lost my bet on Andy Murray in Wimbledon since he got knocked out in the semi-finals.
So I went out on Thursday night... only had 2 hours sleep.. had to meet a friend of mine like 15-20 miles cos we were gonna go to Goodwood Festival of Speed down in Sussex. I turned up late and with the bill of the 80 dollar cab ride FML. His car had engine problems on the way down so instead of taking 2 hours to get there.. it took 4.. and I was doing the map reading and periodically falling asleep. Anyway it was fun even though I was exhausted.
Im off to the park now...to try and play some cricket.
2 nights ago we were going to our fav sushi place down the street from our house and i park next to a sick new Audi R8, if u duno it looks like this.
So anyway, we pull up and i think like "who the fuck parked a 150K car here?" there is a gelato place next door and i figured some rich dude parked it there and went to get ice cream for him and his wife or something... So we go into sushi and its outa my mind and we sit down and start eating like always. After were about 30 mins into the meal the subject of black people playing poker in the south comes up, and i mentioned how there aren't very many minority's in the north west where im from, and so on and so forth, then just as bob is telling us a story about the whitest black guy hes ever met and joking about this guy (not in a really racist way, just like funny for anyone way).. anyway just as hes mid sentence a HUGE black dude walks right behind him on the way out, its a small resturant.. the guy doesnt stop or say anything, but we were pretty sure he heard.. so the dude walks out and we start giggling abit, and i say something like "ehh w/e if shit went down at least we got nolan here" then Doomer looks at us totally stunned looking and is like "that was rampage!" were like what the fuck? Hes like "that was fucking rampage jackson"...
im like OHHH ok thats whos driving the R8, he jumps in the R8 and i start laughing again realizing how close bob just was to death, rampage coulda just bonked him and ez KO.
My vegas life has been pretty laid back mostly, we went to Mesa grill with everyone and had a really good meal, i snapped off a few pics.
Yesterday we had a good pool session b4 we went to Caesars palace to go to a diff dinner place.
thats bob and saki and bobs feeding the ducks in our back yard.
So after that we all went to Caesars to go to this crazy French restaurant called Guy Savoy, i didnt plan on going because i deff couldnt afford to have a meal there, so i went to the forum shops and did some shopping then hit up the 1/3NL table and won a couple bbs there, then headed off to meet them at dinner about a hour 20 mins into it, when i got there they were on their 4th or 5th course on a 10 course meal, everyone was having a glass of wine with each course, so about 1 more course after i got there, timdawg was too drunk / full to eat anymore so i took over his eating duties. Then the resturant guy came up and said he was freerolling me on drinks and the rest of the courses, so that was like 300$ worth of free food, which was pretty sick.
in the pic, obv the empty seat is me, going to the left, MiPwnya (not sure on spelling) then his friend, then Asa, saki saki, timdawg, pinball.
So after the meal is dealt the guys ran out a credit card roulette flip, the bill was 4K, so thats deff the biggest bill flip ive ever seen for only 6 people, i mean last year at craft it was 4K and we had like 13 people.. Anyway the flip ran out and timdawg lost, which sucked cuz he was the most -ev to flip anyway, he got snap tilted and went home to go to sleep after that.. Tim was pretty tilted and woke up early this morning to grind back his dinner losses, hes already up 6.4 K at 2/4 today lol..
In poker news, my live game is going really well, im playing very well and getting used to using live reads alot more. Im going to be playing in the main event, Mezmerizeplz has some of my action and Peachykeen has some too.. I still need to register, but when i do im pretty sure im gonna sign with pokerstars and take their deal.
i will be posting all my updates on when im playing in the main, Doomer is playing today and will also be updating on the site, so check it out @ www.thepokerloop.com and get some railing in.
Passed on going out tonight cause I wanted to play the event tomorrow. Played 5/10 for a couple of hours at the red rock casino instead. Aj has talked about how soft that game is on the weekends but idk really. The game was soft but crappy cause of a couple of shorties and shit. I ran over the table pretty brutally but aj owned me in a couple of pots and i ended up down 1,5k or so. So I come home a bit pissed and shit cause Im down and because the game broke all of a sudden but w/e, Im playing the event tomorrow so I feel good about coming home pretty early.
Well, I guess not. Just talked to nolan on msn and apparently the event is full and I havent registered yet FML.
Such tilt cause I passed on a solid dinner at naked fish+ a night of clubbing with lpers to play a shitty 5-10 game and losing money.
So after getting back on my feet and not hung over for a few days i feel alot better, Im a little homesick but thats w/e.. Im thinking of selling %'s of my self in the ME if anyone is interested.
I just played a live session and had to leave the table to play the $1500 tomorrow, but damn i really didnt wanna go, i took some fish down alot at the table but i was already down a buyin, so im sitting 1K in play, the donk is at 45$ we ship a limped pot, i have 89 he had KJ flop is 88K he turns K and wins for a very small pot and im like "ok now i can leave the fish is gone" but after he wins that, he turns it into 2500!!!! won like a million flips n shit, im sitting like 1500 deep and lose that down to like 1200 and its 2am and i gotta go home, this dude ran SICK, never seen a run like he went on, he shiped a buyin on the turn with a T high flush draw and binked the river, i wanted to stay really bad but i just needed to get home and get some sleep.
Not sure how much longer im gonna b in vegas, i guess it depends on if i play the ME or not.
Tomorrow is the 1500, i will be updating my status on www.thepokerloop.com which is my new website, i made a thread about it on LP b4 and some people joined, but more people deff need to join in.
New updates on the site, we just made it so if u type "As" or "Tc" it will show the hands, i was able to post a few diff live hands tonight and that was cool, there is a official mobile version, if u go to the site on a iphone or blackberry it will auto direct u to the mobile version, if not just go to mobile.thepokerloop.com... we also made u b able to post links, and i just added a banner for the liquidpoker donk raise... anyway if u havent seen my site plz go check it out and give me feedback, were working on adding alot more stuff but right now i need more members to make it worth my time.
I dont really have much to say so ima grab some spoiler girls and throw um up here to save this blog post asap.
Im to tired to write about alot of hands, i might update later but idk. Yesterday me and aj played 5/10 at the wynn, and whos sitting at the other 5/10 table if not the one and only, the epic, the magic, the legendary nazgul! Our table was a mustmove so I got moved to nazguls left pretty early. He was sitting like 8k deep or something at 5/10 and he was completely fucking raping the table. It was so hilarious, he just bombed like a madman and the whole table was on such sick tilt. Fortunately I was to his left so I didnt get raped as much. Dont really remember any hands except the last one where its folded to naz in the sb he raises and I call in the bb with A10o. Flop comes 1023r naz checks I bet kinda big and naz just snapshoves over and I call pretty fast. Idk what naz had but w/e, winning an all in against naz was pretty awesome.
Today me and aj played 10/20 at the bellagio, I was doing pretty well and my table was really soft. I will probably talk about some hands later but tonight im to tired. I ran pretty well and was up like 5k at one point, aj was crushing his table and had ran up 2k to like 10k or something. Our entire house has tickets to see the new transformers movie but neither me or aj felt like leaving the tables so we stayed and grinded instead. Turns out that was a misstake.
I played a couple of hands badish and dropped like 3k before me and aj decided to go eat. All restaurants where practicly full though so we picked up our chips and headed to the wynn instead. The 5/10 list was ridicilous but they started a 10/20 game pretty soon and we sat down. Our table was the mustmove so aj and like half the table got moved pretty quickly. Left was me, two 25/50 regs and one asian dude. A terrible fucking table and I have no idea why I kept playing. w/e, I lost a couple of hands where draws didnt get there or w/e, and then this really strange hand comes up:
One of the 25/50 players(think he said he played 25/50 online but i sorta doubt that but meh) opens on the button and I 3-bet to like 300 in the sb with Q10hh. I have like 4k he covers. He calls flop comes J97r giving me a straight draws and bd fd. I bet like half pot he calls. Turn is 4h giving me a flushdraw. I bet like 600-700 into a 1,2k pot or something. Villian thinks for a while, asks how much I have and then makes it 2,1k. Im so confused but I cant really fold since im getting raw pot odds to call and I cant really shove cause after I call i only have 1,5k left and no fold equity. I call and river is a 7 pairing the board. I consider jamming for like 2 seconds before i check, villian thinks for a while, checks and shows down K10 for k high. FML
I think I probably played it fine but idk, stacksizes made it weird and stuff. All in all I played pretty well imo but the table was tough and my draws never got there so I ended up down like 2,2k making today a negative $200.
I should just not play 10/20 at the wynn at all when the bellagio is just wayway softer.
Anyways, im still up like 4k on the trip in cashgames so I cant complain, might grind some tomorrow if im not still tilted and on saturday im playing the 1500 event.
Last time I posted a blog, early this month, I had just moved from Stars to iPoker with the intention of playing $3/$6 and moving up to $5/$10 and beyond asap, but I came back to Korea on the 8th and couldn't get any tables going on iPoker due to timezones so I've split my roll across FTP and Stars again. Before coming back to Korea, this month started pretty decently, being up $3k in the first 5 days of the month. Despite only playing 3k hands and running $7k below expectation it made me feel like I was getting back in the groove, winning in the way I used to, however since moving back to Stars/FTP I've been losing again despite running above expectation as you can see here:
I'm still up for the month including the $3k won on iPoker and $500 won in live games here in Korea, but I'm still super super tilted. I spent 50k hands on Stars 100NL over the last 2 months and was barely above breakeven, and now I'm playing some $1/$2 deep on FTP and doing even worse than breakeven. I've definitely ran bad in terms of running into more than my fair share of coolers, and not coolering people very often, simply not making many big hands to start with and not being able to hit shit in a reraised pot. I know that I can still win at $3/$6 and $5/$10, but can't I win at $0.50/$1 and $1/$2? I know I don't play my best games at those stakes, and I get tilted easily because the shit I see is so stupid and yet I'm still losing to it, but I used to crush these games when I was playing them, and I sucked back then. Ugh. I'm interested in sweating people who play these stakes, and also being sweated if anyone is up for that (PM me). Although I think that I think a lot deeper than most players at these stakes, maybe I simply overthink things and end up playing bad because of it, it's like I valuebet thin in a spot because I'm repping tons of missed draws and not many value hands and they end up tanking and calling with better. I bluff in some spots where I'm repping almost no bluffs at all and they snapcall with some garbage that sucks vs my entire range, unfortunately I always seem to have the wrong part of my range in these spots, maybe I bluff more than I think I do in some spots, I don't feel like I am, but maybe I actually am.
I'd talk some about my life but not too much has been happening. d.Apollo has been here for more than 2 weeks and we've been going out often, he's been "birdin'" a whole lot and we've been to the casino a couple of times too. I've finally quit wow and have been getting up earlier in the morning the last couple of days, allowing me to put in a shitton of hands (5.5k in the last 2 days). Also finally been going to the gym some, something that I've been talking about doing for ages but never went more than a couple of times before and never with any consistency. Hopefully I can continue working out, getting up early, putting in a lot of hands and hopefully start running good or figure out if/what I'm doing wrong sometime soon.
Hey whats up people. So apparently my account was still negative 10k when I woke up this morning and on tilt I decided that fuck this I need cash so I transfered like 20k from my other account so I could cash out a couple of grand from the atm. I do so and decide to head to the cage and see whats up. Apparently both my wire transfers went through and I had a 29k wire waiting for me even though my account was good for only 15k WTF? Ok whatever so I try to get all the money in chips right away so I can go play poker and it takes foreeeevveeer with signing shit and w/e. Eventually the queen of the cage comes forward and goes on a rant on how they need to know that I will use this money at the bellagio and not the rio(which I was intending to but never said duh) so now I can only cash out 2,9k right now and I have to use my fucking bellagio retard card to get more money for the poker game and establish myself as a poker player there or whatever. Fucking morons tilt gahh.
Anyways, I decide to try and get as much money out as possible so I sign up for 10/20 and request 5k in chips with my retard bellagio fuckcard. Apparently this takes forever and it seems to be a process that involves floormen running around asking eachother stuff for 30 min. I finally get my money and I get snapmoved from the mustmove table to a table that is 5-handed with a couple of what i presume are live regs.
I have come to the conclusion that live regs really do suck. They are good at one thing and thats being intimidating. They sit with like 40k at 10/20 and throw chips around but they take shit lines and they generally dont understand the importance of position. Anyways, I weak tight myself down to 3,5-4k and then I play a couple of sort of interesting hands:
I pick up AQ in MP and raise to 80, btn who is a live pro covering my 4k bumps it up to like 240, I call cause I cant really 4-bet and I cant really fold. This guy has been really active and likes just bullying people out of the pot. Flop comes KJ2r I check he bets like 2/3 and I call cause Im stubborn and retarded. In hindsight I think this was a misstake but I was pissed and w/e. Turn is the 10c so I bink the nuts. I checkraise his smallish bet to like 1700 leaving myself with something like 2k behind. He tanks and calls, river is a 9 putting a 4-straight out there and I shove and he folds KK face up. ( felt kinda owned but later on this guy folded KK pre after getting 4-bet oop with 8k effective and the winner showed J10o lol)
About an orbit later I pick up AKs otb, mp raises I 3-bet and sb coldcalls(sb is a reg that kinda looks like a mix between prince valliant and arnold schwarzenegger, hes agressive but kinda dumb oop). Original raiser calls aswell. Flop comes 8s6s2x, checked to me I bet, price valliant folds and old dude shoves for like with a smaller flushdraw. Flush binks and I ship the pot.
A couple of orbits later I call this nitish kinda guys raise in mp with 89dd, price valliant calls aswell. Flop comes 57Kdd. Original raiser bets I flat cause I think raising kinda sucks and valliant calls. Turn is the 6h giving me the nuts. Checked to me I bet 2/3 pot both people call. River bricks I bet 2/3 again both fold.
I played some other random hands that werent all that interesting, raised some flops barrelled some turns etc but w/e. Ended up +4k or something like that which feels nice. We also played some 5/10 at the rio later that night but I was on the nittiest table ever so it was pretty boring, ended like +$300 after like 4 hours. I also bumped into naz and daut at the rio which was pretty cool. They where railing on of their horses that was at the final table of the 10k plo(i think?)
Meeting lpers is always nice but meeting naz kinda made me starstruck.
Cant think of anything else to write about so yeah, until next time bitches
So i havent had a whole lot to blog about recently cuz ive been really hung over, but im back to 100% and ready to get ppl back up to date. Last night we had a pretty good party at our place for shana's birthday. She is sixpeppers aka "action djs" fiance. Anyway it was a really fun party, we got alot of the LPrs out here and it was a really good group, good to see all the guys out and having fun.
One person showed up that i really didnt think id see. THE KET!!
It was good to see ket, ive been going to vegas the last 3 years and havent ever seen him outside of dinners and wsop. Ket is a sick beerpong hustla, he hit 8 outa the 10 cups and was on fire twice.. but i think clay still is up off him a bit in cup props.
Funny story about ket last night, we live in a gated community with very split roads, each lane is its own road and leads to a gate.. Ket was leaving the party last night and thought he was still in the UK, (aka wrong side of the road driving) he gets in the wrong road/lane and starts driving twords the gate, he gets to the gate and obv it doesnt open the right way.. we got a text from echo saying "ket forgot we werent in the UK, drove all the way in the wrong lane... gate guards were not impressed" lol
anyway the party was pretty mellow on the whole night but really fun.
All the guys r grinding the million today which will be pretty fun, i think pokerstars is gonna come out and film our house for the blog or something.
My next wsop event is on june 27th and im pretty excited for that, i will be grinding alot of live cash until then.
I got some more random pics, here is a pic of tim while were at the tuxedo shop
if u didnt see my really short blog post one back, go check it out, its pretty funny b like no one saw it.
heres another pic i thought was funny, eric rents 2 houses out here in vegas and i found him one morning crashed out on the smallest couch in the house.
ive been reading up and watching alotta videos on the new nissan GTR and since i already mentioned ket in here, i think that all the evo kids, aka clay, whoosel, and ket need to upgrade to the nissan GTR cuz its such a sick car just like the evos big brother.
anyway i think i had some more stuff to blog about but i forgot it..
everyone make sure to call their dads for fathersday..
gl this sunday everyone.. Oh and dont forget to keep updating your pokerloop acounts! Ill have some new features on there this week and the mobile version is out, so if you go to www.thepokerloop.com on a blackberry or iphone you get redirected to the mobile version and it goes much faster w/o adds or anything just bare bones website.
i drank way too much last night and this morning.. i pretty much failed it up and blacked out for a half of a night... w/e going to sixpeppers party tonight at the wynn in my new tuxdeo and then hopefully not dieing even more.. i cant wait to start playing wsop events in this thing, its gonna b sick.
Hey everybody, I promised myself I would be blogging in vegas but havent really gotten around to it yet. still have a severe money issue but I think its getting resolved. Basicly I tried making a wire transfer to the bellagio yesterday but I was very uncertain as to what numbers to put where etc, so after my first attempt it said something about the wire transfer not working or w/e. I researched how and where to write account numbers and shit and did it again and yet again it didnt work.
So discouraged and shit I went to play the 2k nlhe event at the rio yesterday and while registering I talked to the dudes there about making a wire transfer to the rio instead. I had to spend like 10 minutes begging the manager of the cage to let me do a wire transfer and finally he caved and let me do it. I have no idea why they are so paranoid about stuff like that but w/e.
Anyways, after getting home last night I checked my bank account and apparently both the wires to the bellagio worked somehow as I now was like a negative 10k in my account. Obv you cant wire transfer money you dont have but apparently my bank has like reserved the money for both the wires so now im not only cash busto but also bank account busto until monday because today is a holiday in sweden. So yeah, I have like 100 bucks for the whole weekend. Vegas ballin yo!
As for poker, I havent played alot given my money situation but the 2k event yesterday went meh. I definitely played a couple of hands kinda badish but eventually I busted cause Im just unable to win flips. No really cool hands come to mind but ill try to make a more detailed update for the next tournament ill play. I busted right before the dinner break and doomer was still in it so we went to dinner with tcblade and after that doomer borrowed me some cash to play 5/10 at the rio.
The table wasnt super soft but you can straddle the button at the rio which makes the game really fun. What doesnt make the game fun is that I gave the floorman 500 bucks and he comes back with 500 bucks in 5 dollar chips what the fuck. I hate chips so much and sitting with like a mountain of them tilts me to no end. Playing with 5 dollar chips seriously makes me play way worse than usually cause I just hate dealing with chips so i pass on alot of good spots just cause I dont wanna count out a raise or w/e. Fuck chips.
Doomer busted after a while and joined me at 5/10 for a couple of hours before we went home. We where both sick tired after playing poker for like 14 hours. We get home and go to sleep pretty quickly, unfortunately timdawg chris erik(pinball) clay and bob come home shortly after and chris timdawg and erik are sick drunk. Kinda hard to sleep when you hear timdawg repeatedly yelling: "ERIK, STOP IT YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF" on the top of his lungs. I also have a vauge memory of erik coming into my room interviewing me with an invisible microphone but I could be wrong.
Anyways, I sorta wanna play the 1,5k event tomorrow and I think I can get someone to borrow me money for it. Problem is we are having a party at our house tonight and I will most likely be hung over as fuck tomorrow. Also I dont think anyone else will wanna play it so ill have to take a cab or something which is a bummer.
Cant think of anything else to write, next post will hopefully be more poker related with some hands and stuff. Take care bitches!
edit: LOL chris and timdawg just came through the door drunk and super excited dressed in tuxedos they just bought for no reason saying that they will be the kings of the party. HAHAHA
Hey guys, it's been a while. The past weeks have been really busy for me and I haven't been able to do a lot of activities concerning poker. This was mostly because of two 'trips' I made and having to finish school. I attended the Pinkpop festival for the third year in a row actually which was a lot of fun. The weekend after that I went to Paris which was supposed to be a meeting with ToT (my team from Starcraft) but it ended up being just Eleo (for the starcraft guys, Eleo is Mondragon's girlfriend) and me. I don't think I'm going to do a write-up on Paris because it's honestly not that interesting. I saw a lot of cool stuff in Paris but all I did was see the city basically and honestly this blogpost is simply going to be too long.
So basically this is going to be long anyway with a lot of pictures. Hope not too long because I don't want to write this for no reason because you only read like half of it :D
Graduation
First things first: I graduated on 16 June for my bachelor's degree in civil engineering. I was actually 1 year late because of me being a lazy bum but I finally finished which is of course awesome news and I'm superhappy about it. Now I can finally move forward with my life. More about that later. First I want to write about the festival.
Pinkpop
This year we had a group of 7 people in total. A little less than last year but that's probably better at a festival because otherwise the difference in interest will just become a hassle. The usual people were there at least with 2 newcomers . As usual, I would go by car and bring the bags and camping stuff and the others would take the train while bringing the tents.
I already posted the lineup/schedule in my last blog item but here it is again:
I'll just continue this 'trip report' by day.
Saturday
I left home at 08:00 or so to pick up my friend who was gonna be my co-driver. He doesn't have a driver's license but it's nice to have someone with you for the long trip and to make out the correct driving route and stuff. We picked up bread at the bakery for the next 4 days and we were on our way. The trip would last us around 3,5 hours normally but it ended up being 6 hours because of all the traffic jams around the town where the festival was held. Doh, 50.000 campers . Good thing our friends had the tents.. they were already there at around 10:30 and picked a nice spot to the tents up so that was good. Anyway the parking spot we got assigned was really far away from the camping site so we had to walk like 30 minutes with all our bags and stuff. At least it was downhill which helped a lot.
Signposts which mean: 'faster than you think' and 'chance of a traffic jam', we had a healthy laugh about those while actually being in a traffic jam for 1,5 hours
We only got to the festival terrain at 17:30 so we missed the first few bands. Nothing we REALLY wanted to see though. First thing we did was get another pink hat to support Amnesty International (they cost like 6 euro's and they are pink, you won't wear them anywhere else but whatever! Because of driving for 6 hours though I was pretty tired. At the first 'famous' band which was the Killers (with their terrible song 'Human' - side note: it's weird though because the rest of their repertoire is pretty awesome) I decided to just lie down on the grass and just listen relaxingly. Good thing the weather was awesome all 3 days.
Bruce Springsteen was really good actually. He had a lot of songs that I didn't know at all but it was fun anyway. The famous songs were obviously most fun to listen to though. We watched it from a pretty large distance but that was okay.
We were back at the tents at around midnight and I immediately went sleeping because I was supertired because of the long day and I still had two awesome days to go. Thank god for earplugs...
Sunday
Sunday I woke up because I literally burned out of my tent at around 10:00. It was really hot outside already. Had some breakfast from the bread we took with us and basically just chilled out because the festival would begin at 13:00 so we had all the time in the world. During the day it was a lot of chilling because the weather was simply too hot to do much. Listening to some fun music in the meanwhile.
Chillin', pink hat obviously and a beard from 1,5 days. Wasn't that bad yet, 2 days later it was way worse believe me
Anyway Maria Mena was relaxing, her voice is beautiful. It's kinda emo music but I like it. Madness I saw a little bit of but apparently the crowd was ecstatic about their performance. A bunch of cocky old dudes having the time of their lives on the main stage .
Maria Mena <3<3
After that we went to see a little bit of James Morrison who sounds extremely dull on radio. His performance however was really surprising because live he was a lot better than he is on the radio. Nothing too exciting though. Oh I almost forgot. The bad news about the festival was that the lead singer of Depeche Mode had some kind of illness which is why the band couldn't perform. Being one of the headliners, this was of course a real bummer for us and for almost everyone attending the festival that day. There were actually a lot of people who only bought a day ticket *just* for Depeche mode. They got replaced by Krezip which is a Dutch band who mostly sings simple pop songs that sound catchy. They were okay. They didn't get the headliner though. Placebo got bumped up to be headliner for the Sunday which turned out to be a good decision. I enjoyed the concert. The singer Brian Molko has this really unusual sound which actually makes it pretty fun to listen to.
After that we went to see a movie in the out-door cinema. Basically a REALLY big screen with a large projector so the quality is pretty bad but because of the crowd you're watching it with, it's a lot of fun. We watched Taken and everytime Liam Neeson killed someone the entire crowd cheered and clapped their hands, lol good times. Little side note here: if you haven't seen Taken yet, go kill yourself. We went to sleep at around 02:30. Thank god again for ear plugs.
Monday
Monday was going to be the longest day simply because the festival was starting at 12:00 that day. We only got there at 12:45 though because the line at the entrance was humongous. That was okay though, we watched some fun bands like The All American Rejects, Mando Diao and Amy Macdonald was good for relaxing on the grass. After that I went to see the Script. Lucky I did because they were pretty good and Billy Talent was supposed to be pretty bad according to the critics. Just a lot of noise but that was about it. Franz Ferdinand was another good band to be relaxing to on the grass. After that I wanted to see Katy Perry and take some pictures for Byrnesam but I couldn't get close enough =[. All I got is this:
After that we jumped around some on Anouk and got some funny stares from people around us and we were gearing up towards the last concert of the festival: Snow Patrol. I kind of like their music and because it was the festival ender I really wanted to be at the front for that so we missed the Kooks and the Ting Tings to wait. Good decision because Snow Patrol was really good, better than expected. Most of their stuff is pretty mellow but they have some up beat songs as well. It was a really beautiful concert though and I enjoyed it a lot.
After that concert we chilled out a bit until we got kicked off the festival terrain. We sang random songs and got people to join us so that was fun. Thank god for earplugs again when I went sleepin' otherwise I'd be dead the following day since I still had to drive home for 3,5 hours. We packed up our stuff, used the remainder of our food/drink tickets on expensive fruit cocktails and stuff and stuffed all the stuff in my car. Left at around 11:15 and got home at around 15:00. First thing I did was take a huge dump, shave and shower. Hadn't showered in 3 days wowzers.

Plans
I'm planning on becoming a bit more active in poker again seeing as I have finished my education. Plan on making more videos again to satisfy you gents.
I also plan on going on vacation a few times as well in the summer although I haven't figured out where I want to go yet. Jamie (MidiaN) invited me to come to Korea so I might just do that for a few weeks?! Might be fun to finally go there. Other than that I have nothing exciting planned for now. Small window that I might still fly to Vegas but I doubt it.
I'll keep this short. I'll be playing on 5betpoker some more. I have a small roll there so I'll be playing some 200NL and 400NL to get things going again and then I'll just build up my roll there. It's fun to play with euros instead of dollars though. Makes it seem more real haha. Anyway this has been long and I applaud you if you are still reading. I hope it was interesting enough!
See you chaps later when I report on my latest endeavors .
Just wondering, everyone is talking about getting money to vegas and this and that, Ive called the rio trying to get a wiretransfer done but no dice there, they gave me some bullshit answer about me having to have a players card at the rio for a year blablabla.
Bottom line is, im in need of like 20k in vegas tops, cashing out from an atm I have a 3k limit per week, but cant you just buy chips at the rio/bellagio with my debit card and all will be well? I mean the biggest purchase would be like 10k for the ME and that isnt a terribly huge amount of money. Anyone know?
Oh and anyone who is in vegas feel free to pm your phone number so I can get in contact with someone when I arrive on monday.

theres a couple pics off my phone, just standard stuff going on recently, we got a 14ft trampoline and put it in the living room, we have really high ceilings so we thought it would b a cool thing to throw in the living room. Ive just been grinding live and getting semi deep in alot of online shit but having decent online cashgame results.

We went out and had dinner with Nolan, PoorUser and FrinkX just a few hours ago and we might hang out again tonight, i duno what they r planning on doing... next blog post will b better, im just mega busy and wanted to throw this stuff online.

. As usual, I would go by car and bring the bags and camping stuff and the others would take the train while bringing the tents.
. Good thing our friends had the tents.. they were already there at around 10:30 and picked a nice spot to the tents up so that was good. Anyway the parking spot we got assigned was really far away from the camping site so we had to walk like 30 minutes with all our bags and stuff. At least it was downhill which helped a lot.
