Oh lawd... I'm not going to put much effort into this rant just b/c all of you will know where I'm going with it.. just a very tilting email one of our obese employees sent out this morning. Her husband had a brain tumor, had it removed, and the doctors said they found no traces of cancer. Apparently this is special, and living in the bible belt the obvious conclusion to be drawn is that it is a miracle by god. Nevermind the fact that you got the tumor in the first place & his bitch ass would be fucking dead if it weren't for medical science, prayers are the reason there is no cancer. But what really grinded my gears was the *very next* sentence which goes on to say that he will need continued checkup's & treatment to make sure no cancer develops for the NEXT 3 YEARS. But what the fuck, I thought god was the reason he has no cancer in the first place. So why the hell do you need future checkups? Why not just pray mother fucker? I mean I can understand being so diluted as to attribute any positive outcome to an invisible sky man, but if you are going to preemptively pray away the development of cancer, then there should be no need to visit doctors ever again. Obviously they didnt do shit so why waste the time and money?
You may have noticed earlier I emphasized the point of this person being obese. Given her size I am certain she qualifies as morbidly obese, but thats beside the point. The point was that a recent study was released conducted over 20 years that directly linked religiousness to obesity. Again, not too hard for you to fathom, but I'll spell it out anyway; Those found to attend religious functions at least once a week and who classified themselves as religious ended up obese in later years. I think it was something like a 90% correlation. These were people originally of healthy weight, who virtually all became obese 20 years later. Conversely, those who did not identify themselves with religious beliefs, nor attended religious functions with any regularity, were almost all within normal guidelines for physical health.
Point? Meh, I dunno. I just see her dumb fat fucking ass with her dumb fucking religion and think "how fitting of you".
Gonna go chill tonight and play some battleship poker. Need some variations of the game, i.e. mandatory 3betting, auto-ship next hand after showdown, reasons to take shots, etc etc.
I must be fucking mentally deficient or something, because after 3 years of playing I can still only manage to handle 1 table of poker at a time . I mean I'm fast enough to click buttons and read the board when I mass table, but I am consistently losing when I try. Whenever I drop tables I notice I start thinking way more in depth about hands, to the point of over-analyzing I'm sure, but it seems to work. I mean I love the game and I love getting all into it and shit, thinking about every possible angle, what I can rep, what he has, what he'll fold, what he'll call, etc etc. It's invigorating. It seems like I think about a lot of this stuff when mass tabling too, but my results speak otherwise. Maybe it's just a variance limiter, seeing less hands per hour gives me the illusion that I'm winning more.
Meh, if only there were an upside to this lol. I guess it's good for playing live since I'm accustomed to being bored at the table. Maybe I can be more aggressive with my BRM since I'm playing so much less and so much better.
To take my mind off poker I decided to "trial run" a few games to take advantage of my decent gaming rig. To date, they have all blown goats:
1) GTA IV
2) Crysis
3) Crysis Warhead
4) Mass Effect
Jesus do they make good games anymore? TF2 is the only thing worthy of my significant gaming prowess these days. All I have left now is Assassins Creed, Gears of War, and Dead Space. Never played any of them, so here goes.
Now the only question is what challenge? $50 deposit @ NL2? $1 HUSNG's? 180 man's? Learn micro-PLO? I havent put any effort into poker in quite awhile, just splashing around with whatever random idea to run it up comes to my head. I'm busto and have this entire week off, so figure I might as well make it a grindathon. Hopefully I dont waste too much time sleeping in, watching netflix, and playing vidya games.

Finally ran out of rakeback life support on full tilt, helped my wife win a $2 HU shootout so she xfer'd me with winnings and am back to playing on beloved stars, oh how I miss thee. Funny thing is, after playing 3 months of exclusively rush poker, normal ring games feel so good again! I mean damn is it ever nice to have actual legitimate reads on players, who you can iso, who you can bluff, who you can ship 300BB's aipf against. Wow, what a breath of fresh air! I do feel like rush has helped me a little, namely in regards to strengthening my reads in low information spots. Or perhaps it was all gained from greater hand volume. Whatever the case is it's so nice to feel in control at the table again. I wonder if my live play has improved as a consequence of rush.
