I feel like falling asleep to a good movie, hopefully one that will make me want to stay up and watch it all.

also, if you have more than one post them up too because I love falling asleep to movies and do it probably 2-3 times a week.

I come to you all today to offer a bet.

1. I start with $50 on pokerstars.
2. I must make the climb to nl25 ($500) in 50k hands.
3. I am not allowed to play sng.
4. I am not allowed to play tournaments.
5. If I go busto, you win the bet.
6. If i play outside of my set bankroll rules (move up at 20 buyins, down at 15) you win the bet. (I dunno how we can legitly do this but perhaps if you're trustworthy you can ask me up to 5 times to quit playing, give you the password to my account, check it, and return it to me, you can also see transaction histories this way to ensure yourself that I didn't redeposit/get transferred money)
7. I MUST complete the bet within 2 months or you win.
8. I MUST tell you about my progress if you inquire about it, for example: number of hands in/stakes playing/bankroll, etc.

I wanna get an escrow to hold our money, i don't care who as long as they are trustworthy.

1:1.5 odds, so my 300 vs your 450.


if any of you guys dont know me, i've been busto more times than i can count and can't manage a bankroll to save my life. This is a sick -EV bet for myself but I'm not doing it to profit.

anyone interested?

also, im willing to take smaller amounts of action, i just want to bet $300 total.

EDIT - I have a new offer, same rules as above, but I must complete the bet in under 20k hands for 3.5:1 odds.

We're done with this hotel job in mid april, I should have 1.6-2k saved up by then. I don't think im gonna go to the next job and I've been thinking about something.

I'm gonna take a maybe one month shot at being a live grinder. I miss the freedoms of being a poker player and i hate having my life scheduled. Playing live is really good for me because it takes away most all of the ways that I can tilt. When I tilt I don't start playing stupid, I can't do that because it goes against my ways. I merely chase my losses on HU sng or something stupid, variance rapes me, and i go busto.

From my 15-20 live sessions(NL200) I can only recall two losing sessions and I know it's a really really easy game at my local casino. My only real question is if I can make enough money to live off of + maybe still increase my br at the same time to move up stakes eventually.

I think something like 25bb/100 isn't THAT far fetched in this game and is prob attainable. IF i can pull that off I'm averaging a $1 profit per hand. I'm not sure exactly how many hands I can play per hour, but im gonna guess 30ish, so looking at a raw $30/h from that winrate. Gotta figure in tips too so prob like 25-26/h.

I also gotta spend ~20 on gas each day I go to the casino and spend a bit of money on food although I could easily skip around eating during sessions.


If/when I do this I'm gonna try the best I can to make it really scientific. I'm gonna take something with me to keep track of my stats, maybe like one of the things that an umpire uses to keep track of strikes/balls/outs. Instead I'd use it for hands played/# of hands vp$ip/pfr

What do you guys think about all of this?

I work up to sometimes 12 hours a day and i don't wanna grind poker after all of that. Prob just gonna play poker for entertainment and gambool it up in a tournament every now and then and just deposit as I feel like it.

I'm gonna try to save $300 a week though and take a shot at being a live pro sometime in a few months, dunno how that will work out but having money saved can never be bad anyway

so im gonna deposit some money some time in the very very near future, haven't decided how much yet but nothing over 300. I'm pretty excited about this but I seriously have no care for money and losing that 300 on a coinflip or even just randomly wouldn't even bother me, and i think that might be part of the problem. I first of all definitely need some type of help with this cause it makes tilting all the more easier. On the other hand I think it's a really good thing for being able to make it into higher stakes poker, maybe I just need to find a balance.

Secondly I have some tilt issues that I think mostly come from playing underrolled. I am definitely a degen gambler though and if im not playing for something that excites me I get bored and lose focus, so it's an absolutely terrible mix. For what it's worth playing something like nl100 at the moment would be absolutely exciting for me, but I wouldn't ever let myself play that underrolled, i dunno, some weird thing about me.

I know all of the answers to this are gonna be "follow 20bi etc" but is there seriously some way that I can change my ways or learn to have some type of discipline in that manner? I have all of the time in the world to build a bankroll now and no reason to cash out and every reason to climb up the poker ladder because I'm sick confident in myself to do so.

Here we go again.

Barack Obama.... please read Body: Obama 'Frightens Me'. The Bible has warned us that 'A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!' When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is 'A Muslim'....First, Last and always....and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not. This man fits every description from the Bible of the 'Anti-Christ'! I'm just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man! Who is Barack Obama? Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice. If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it. snopes.com ..' confirms this is factual. Check for yourself. Who is Barack Obama? Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, 'He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.' Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Do you want someone like this as your PRESIDENT? Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own! Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME

I played the first god of war the day it came out, i played it without sleep until I beat it, such an awesome game, everything was perfect except maybe it coulda been a bit longer.

I played the 2nd god of war the day it came out, it was everything I wanted, it fulfilled all of my desires... up until the ending which was a fucking lameass cliffhanger. I was so pissed off with the ending of the 2nd one, but I eagerly awaited for #3 to come out and I just learned that it's only coming out on the PSP

FUCK the world.

I'm all settled in here and worked my first day today, was pretty fun actually but my feet fucking hurt.

My room is sick awesome, i'm staying in a room @ the hotel we are renovating and it's pretty much like an apartment consisting of a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen.

I went to the bar last night, I drank six (I think lol) long island ice teas and a red snapper and got pretty shitty but not all that bad.

anyways, i feel so much better now and all the stress and shit in my life is gone and it's all smiles.

i love life again, this is exactly what I needed.

If any of you fucks live near milwaukee tell me btw
