Just for Fun

So anyway as the title suggests, i started setting up my fish tank a few days ago. This new and sudden urge was brought on by Karma/luke telling me his plans to start a fish tank and showing me AWESOME looking fish.
Anyway i had a fish tank from ages ago so i brought it out and chucked it on the desk in the corner of my room. Next day luke came over and we went and brought some stuff, new corner filter, a heater (i'm planning to do tropical fish). This was the end product at the time:


So the next morning we set out to buy some fish and came back home with 2 pepper cory catfish, 10 neon tetra's and 1 angelfish. This was probably a bit impulsive as it'd only been about 12 hours since we'd put in this liquid substance that helps clear the minerals and chemicals that the fish cant handle and the water hadnt' fully cleared. BUT i was sure that any fish of mine would be TUFF FISH and could handle it.
Also brought some plants, flake food and blackworms which they apparently like.

This was what the tank looked like after i'd put everything in, you cant really see anything in the photo except the neon tetra's in the front and the angel fish in the bottom back right corner hiding like a pussy. The cory's were by far the most active initially with the damn angel fish pretty much not moving for an hour or more reminds me of pokerdoc,nit.


Anyway there you can see the angelfish, i like it and hopefully wont grow to fast since i'd like to keep it for a while.

Anyway this all happened over the past 2-3 days. So i'll take some more photos and update you guys on whats happened since then and make it a seperate post to make it easier to browse/read.

So, sitting at home all day doing pretty much nothing is....what can i say its AWESOME!!! Spent the entire day watching heroes and can't wait until the next ep comes out until which i'll be watching random poker shows that i've downloaded. Including HSP(high stakes poker) Million dollar cash game and Poker After Dark which for some reason only appeals to me for the table talk/action and not really the game they play. Actually most tournament shows bore the crap through me, and i only really have it on in the background for the sake of sound.

Moving along, my plans for going to the casino yesterday night were foiled by a loan i made to a friend. This probably was a good thing since i'm at the moment i'm pretty much playing horribly and the only good thing i can say about the whole experience is i haven't yet tilted

note to luke/karma: i need help, and i need it fast.

So this means i won't be moving back up to 100nl as quick as i'd hoped too, but i guess it's better to fix my leaks at 50nl than 100 eh?

Anyway this is the computer i WANT atm, not that i have the least likely chance of affording it (£3434 roughly $8,694.4764 AUS yes i converted it ) unless i luckbox some tournament which considering my tourny play is extremely unlikely

So anyway, went to sleep last night with a HUGE headache, no idea why but for some reason i woke up ridiculously early...8am and decided to watch cartoons while starting to play some poker and see if i couldn't get myself out of the downswing i'd got myself into.

However things weren't looking so great as the first hand at one of the tables: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137244 in retrospect i think i could have folded to the reraise but i think there are a lot of hands that i beat here? thoughts on this would be appreciated.
The next hand that was interesting was http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137242 not sure if i should have just called for set here or not, i find that if i call and flop comes all low cards i get stacked far to often by overpairs/sets etc

A lil later, http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137250 where i proceed to get my buyin back from the same guy that stacked my aces with his set, although i clearly sucked out on him this time. Very bad choice on my part, i'm such luckboxing monkey... karma soon caught up with me http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137251 and i got pwnD!!

HOWEVER much to my delight my LUCKBOX switched turned right back on with this marvelous one outer i pull http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137301 and had poor ol buddy tilting like a mofo.

The rest of the session was nothing out of the ordinary but i was watching summerland while playing, its a tv series with jesse mcartney that i'm now hooked on. The story behind that was i was watching the first episode a week or so ago without realisiing it WASN'T a movie...and got myself hooked.
Started watching heroes, it really isn't anything awesome but its something to watch when i'm bored i guess likewise with poker in the dark eps (still hate the commentator) although gabe kaplan puts a smile on my dial when he plays both in poker in the dark as well as high stakes.

AUSTRALIA DAY WOOOT!!! Pity i'm stuck at home pokering away though, might go out later play some bball get some excercise and also looking forward to getting my ipod from stars soon (2-3 weeks apparently) but bitching about having to use itunes if anyone knows of a good surefire way to change it to being a drag n drop player holler at me...that goes for ppl who've moded their 360's as well... i gtta get mine modded, not baller enough to go out and buy games for 100 dorrar a pop.

Hi, if you don't know me and you probably dont my name's Alan. I'm 183-84cms tall Australian born Chinese, wear glasses short sighted (i'm yet to meet any asian who are actually long sighted, anyone know a factual reason behind this?)
Anyway since its a poker forum i'll try generally to keep my posts poker orientated with the occasional rant/update on my life.
First started poker in year 12, some friends of mine started getting into it and i went along with the "trend" playing home games where we'd all put 1-5 dollars in for a sng.
Luke, aka Goodkarma who is now karma was probably one of the first people i knew who started playing online and it wasn't long till someone discovered the partyfifty promotion.

Needless to say, everyone tried to get multiple accounts me included. I started playing limit, .50/1.00 FR as well as SH and just getting really lucky playing what i then thought was "tight" and did well, getting to 300-400+ on several accounts before a downswing wud hit and i'd panic withdraw.

This lasted for serveral months before i started playing limit games at school, often skipping class (i did it regardless of poker actually ) going to the school library to play against other students. Did quite well in these games but near the end of the year i stopped playing having lost interest in poker and there were more pressing matters at hand, like my year 12 exam....

So there was my first taste of poker and it wasn't until karma convinced me to start to play again (he'd apparently kept right on playing and had done alright in the process *cough* luckbox *cough*) that i touched online poker with a serious intent to learn and beat the game.
So on Feb/March 2006 i got back into it grinding away at 10nl on party constantly annoying Luke with retarded questions and bitching about my bad beats.

Anyway, since then till december 2006 i played sporadically, due to work, social life as well as downswings causing me to take breaks from poker. Oh, and in the process also got Jonno aka pokerdoc to start up playing as well who's bitching and moaning made me realise how annoying i must have been for those around me..

....this is dragging on, cbf typing so much...soo
starting jan 2007 trying to play seriously and steadily.
So far its going badly, down about 15 buyins but thats because i honestly suck and have massive leaks in my game after not playing for a while.
but..... with pots like these http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/136912
hopefully i'll be back on my feet soon eh? and also rakeback to look forward to wooot.
In ending my first post which will most likely be the longest i'll end up posting apologise for it and i'll try keep it short from now on
