Obviously, I haven't played much poker, since I've mostly been studying, and downloading more music for my mp3 player. On which note, I managed to break my headphones adfasdfadsf how do I study without my headphones to block distractions T_T I've also applied for some summer jobs, fingers crossed! So here's my entire September's worth of poker so far: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/fa68f7d8cf68c1dda93e146b90579501.png[/img] and a year's graph for giggles: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/99a6c5be4364b3a192cef9e38f875fa9.png[/img] /brag PT stats >.> Couldn't resist! text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 wilddamon http://wilddamon.liquidpoker.net I have moved into a new flat that has two heat pumps. Didn't have internet for a while which sucked. Can't say I've played much poker lately, too busy studying and doing assignments :( Think I did my project really well though. Also got my mid-year results back, with mixed results. Will definitely be studying lots this semester :/ Random pic of me and some friends at the engineering cocktail party last term: [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/81f2408607de06cd8735e7778180a39e.jpg[/img] Off to sleep so I can finish building my audio amplifier tomorrow morning. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 wilddamon http://wilddamon.liquidpoker.net I made rather a rushed blog post last night and Pav left me a rather long comment about how I don't have my priorities right. I believe the comment in my blog he took offense to was "I told you I'd be playing poker instead of studying for my tests" This was a rather flippant comment and also somewhat untrue, as I had spent the day studying at university before playing poker. The tests begin in 2 weeks time. I'd also like to point out that I am a full time student studying my third year of electrical engineering, which is certainly not the easiest subject in the world. Without discipline, I doubt I'd have made it this far through my degree already. I certainly do not believe poker is the only option to succeed in life, I find such beliefs laughable. I'd like to mention the results I got for my last year of study, which put me in the top 15% of all students at my university. I don't wish to brag, but I feel these statistics illustrate my point more clearly than a simple explanation. These were all full year courses: Calculus and Algebra: A Engineering Statistics: A+ Circuits and Systems: B+ Principles of Electronics: B+ Electrical Systems: A Computers and Modeling: A- Design and Management: Pass (this course had only a pass/fail grade.) Poker is, for some reason, the game of leisure among my classmates, and we often get together for a friendly game on Saturday nights. Many of my classmates also use PokerStars, and/or have joined the club "PokerSoc". The amount of poker I actually play is fairly small compared to others on this site. I may have played at most 60k hands in my lifetime on PokerStars. This may answer domyouji and Exhilarate's questions as to why I have so few FPPs. I didn't play many hands and got very lucky! On a rather lighter matter, I recently found out that two of the people in my class are my cousins. What are the chances?
