so i started downloading the series cause i really like survivorman, but so far my reaction is that this guy is like a glorified stuntman, its super extreme and hes super hardcore, but if he was actually trying to advocate survival methods, it got lost somewhere
if he played poker, he would say something like "i get my kings in against aces anyway, just because i usually win. i'm awesome, i'm bear grylls"
seeing as he constantly takes ridiculous unwarranted risks that would normally result in life threatening injuries/hypothermia and hes super awesome so he can usually catch food and make fire in almost no time
i guess like, my problem is that i read some reviews on imdb and some of them seem to think that hes actually showing ways to survive, but.. well, he's not.
not to say that it cant be entertaining but i am so tilted by the fact that he tries to pass off his show as actually accurately portraying survival methods and that people believe that, if it was just a show about stunts and EXTREME ENTERTAINMENT i guess i wouldn't care.
i cant help but think of more poker analogies, he would be like "expect to win your flush draws 90% of the time. if you don't, somethings wrong." hes really just spreading gross misinformation if he continues to magically find food, water, fire and shelter INSTANTLY and dodge injury while taking ludicrous risks for seasons 2,3,4 and 5.
and i respect that hes super awesome from the special forces and all but i find that pretty irrelevant to whether or not his show is accurately portraying anything
and i speculate that hes lying about the heights hes jumping from because the camera angles are really sketchy every time so far :O
im really thinking the vast majority of game that he finds and kills is either planted, or he doesnt actually catch it and they replace the dead animal with something from the super market because of lame sauce camera angles too :o
so in another attempt to boost my failing self esteem i am offering free coaching
my resumé is getting a little pathetic because i havent played in about 5 weeks but i can boast lifetime earnings of around 35k from nl10 july 7 08 --> nl200 june 1 09 not counting tournament winnings and bonuses
i would actually like to coach someone who would actually take it far, then mabe i'd feel like i wasnt a complete failure
i specialize in fr but i assure you i can assist in basically anything up to 100nl and very likely help to improve a winrate in the 200nl games that i cant seem to bring myself to play in
please have mikogo and/or teamviewer and skype
except see, i dont think theres hardly anyone i dont already talk to who could care less about this. so yeah? uhhhhhhhhhhh
hmm, june 1st 2008 i took alot of pills and drove to work very irresponsibly only to have a seizure over concrete floor and nearly break my back/neck, land in the hospital for a week and recuperate for several months. my shoulders are both very screwed up still
but i do acknowledge that it would be really stupid, irresponsible, disrespectful to just go and get myself killed or whatever. boy i'm dumb :X
DON'T GO AND HURT YOURSELVES MKAY?
i only wish i can continue to have success at poker because its pretty clear to me i was really not acheiving anything for about the months of june until march of this year =/
i really think if i hadn't found lp i would never have come anywhere close to as far as i have so far with poker and i hope it can continue this way and i try to give back to this community as much as i can because.. i'd be nowhere without it.
this is a graph of the last 365 days. cheers guys.
um, i kinda, somehow reproduced another 10k month in back to back months o__0
its not as awesome this time since it was nl200 so its overall a lower winrate
but uhh, uhhhhhhhhhhh
now i feel pressured to keep producing T_T but i suppose thats only from myself
hopefully things will keep going okay, and you can see from the graph, i included the redline even though its mostly very embarassing and it somehow changes a bit halfway, i kept changing styles throughout and i will continue doing so until i find what i like. (i guess for about half the graph it only actually drops about uh, like 8 bi or something so thats good)
<3 all, especially edzwoo the supergenius and dryath the baller =D .. oh, and artanis for tolerating my stream of retarded questions all the time :D
uhh, details fwiw, 134.51 hours played, average # of tables probably around 9, 23 vpip =D.. im lazier this month cause of downswing at start, i play only like 300hands/day for awhile
i think i play reasonably okay and ive had two swings, one -17 bi over 7k hands and one -11 bi over 2k hands over the course of ~60k hands in this month
seems too likely it can happen during an "aggro shot" and wipe out most of your br if you play too short
oh, umm, yeah, i dont like to play through my swings either, so the 7k hand one was probably over like 5 sessions, and the second one was over like 3 sessions
hey guys does anyone know of a decent site, paid subscription would probably be what i end up doing..
where i can host my house mixes? thats actually a music hosting site? the last one i was using disappeared apparently because the guy running it didnt crunch his numbers properly :X
is there one thats like a long time more stable one that anyone can recommend for me to join? i guess i wouldnt mind a free one either but usually those are super sucky and dont have enough space for like 70-200mb mixes
