So, there's some lizard tour thing going around college campuses for whatever reason. Apparently this group is comprised of all the guys from Supertroopers, Beerfest, Club Dread, etc. Well, these guys show up at my house at 2:30 AM, and naturally they wanna rage. So, we kicked it, drank, toked, and bs'd til 6am when we took them back to their hotel. sick life
Me and Jay and my ex
Jay and my roommate who he proceeded to hit on the entire night, and she had nothing of it lols, talk about commitment.
heres other random pics. got the girl on the right naked for them lol too bad shes kinda busted.
Just moved money to Stars, gonna be playing a bit more there now.
I have 16 hrs community service to do within the next week, as well as paying off ~500$ in fees and such to hopefully get my license back on the 28th. fml
Things with that from the previous blog are going insanely well, and i couldnt be happier, despite her living 6 hrs away. Once I get the license back ill start visiting her which will be nice
In lieu of me starting this new challenge, I am debating whether or not to play on FTP or Stars. Here is my current opinions on each site.
FTP:
- Rakeback, ldo. Its definitely nice (also ftp points with the multiplier are a nice little addition as well, maybe not though?)
- Interface is somewhat enjoyable, then again im used to it.
- One problem I have is that the only mtts im currently rolled for are the $26s
- The games are definitely not bad, nor do I expect any games 1/2 and below to be terribly difficult.
- I dont play consistently enough every much to make ironman, which is sad. I will go for days without playing, then drop 5k+ hands in a day. That being said, I am not able to take advantage of their ironman program
- ftp cashouts take 10-15, maybe even longer, which is not convenient at all.
Stars:
- Not too familiar with the VIP program. I am curious how you non supernova guys use your FPPs. I have heard people use them for the 5400 Sunday Mil sats, is that still the best value for those of us not bringing in tens of thousands of fpps a month? Are they still as soft as they were a year or so ago? I do like that I dont have to play nearly every day like I do on ftp to reach their vip tiers. Thus, allowing me the opportunity to play in their monthly/weekly freerolls.
- I really like the new innovations stars has added to their interface, much more comparable to ftp now.
- Stars has many different mtts I can play daily that are within my 100 buyin rule.
- Stars cashouts are pretty quick when I am cashing out sums > 1k. usually get the check within 5-7 days tops
After typing those pro's and cons, I am leaning more towards stars. The only things I am not entirely certain of is whether or not the games are much more difficult than ftp, and whether or not ftps rakeback is far more valuable than pokerstars' vip program. Fwiw, if I did switch to stars, I would certainly aim for supernova by the end of the year.
Whats you guys' thoughts?
I could possibly divide my roll between the 2 sites, leaving me with ~25 buyins on each site for $50nl. You think itd be worth doing that for game selection purposes at 1/2 and lower?
So, I think I am gonna start taking the Roids. My fraternity's softball team is quite good, but we are looking for more of an edge. After chatting with our ex-president about the situation, he suggested steroids. Now, my life's philosophy is to try everything at least once, so of course I said id take them. I chatted with some of the guys and suggested taking them with me. So far I have had mixed answers, none of which were yes. So, hopefully ill start my first cycle soon, my drug dealer should have them soon. I will keep everyone updated, as I am sure you are all as excited as I am.
[This was a semi-April fools joke due to its retarded nature, however I am very serious about trying steroids at some point in my life, just because i'm that gangster.]
Ok, now onto more interesting poker/ballin'/life updates.
I just sat down and worked out some goals I have for the summer. I just cashed out most of my roll, leaving myself with 25 buyins for $50NL, with a set plan on moving up stakes. I am going to have a set financial plan as far as cash outs, expenses, and taxes go. I am thinking about doing some coaching, and would like you guys' input on my proposal. I just purchased one of the most ballin' anti-tilt items out there, which I am super excited about. Ill probably wrap the post up with some random life musings regarding my summer travel plans, health, drugs, school, my fraternity, females, and whatever else I come up with.
Today, while amped up on amphetamines and burning this dank ass Orange Kush, I decided to start organizing my summer, starting with setting goals. I decided to cash out all but 25 buyins for $50NL to ensure I have plenty of cash in hand, and to start a bit of a challenge I have been thinking of. Firstly, I wanted to set a specific number of hands to play from now until August 15th. That number came out to ~185k hands over roughly 125 days. Now, with $1250 online, I decided I want to take a pretty conservative approach in moving up. Starting with $50NL, I am going to play that stake until I profit 50 buyins, at which point I will be allowed to move up to $100NL, and on through the limits. Rakeback, MTT scores, and Coaching will not be included as far as buyins go.
I decided plan a more set, stable cashout process. I will be cashing out my rakeback each month rather than including it in my roll. Also, regarding MTTs, I will be cashing out my net profits at the end of each month as well. If I am in the negative at the end of the month, that negative balance will carry over to the next month and I will cash nothing out. I will be using the 100 buyin rule for any MTTs I play, unless I am staked (If anyone is interested, get at me.) I am doing this to force me to start saving money and planning ahead as far as monthly expenses. I am also keeping strict records of all financial records and receipts so that I can finally file gambling taxes the right way without screwing myself out of money.
As far as coaching goes, I have been giving it some thought lately, seeing it as a way to motivate me to grind more, keep improving my game, and ultimately moving up stakes. I had the idea of charging whatever my hourly wage was over the 50 buyins I won at that limit. Due to my semi-strict game selecting, I would guess my MT ration is around 5. So, over my 25k hand $50NL database, my hourly was around 30$/hour. I would guess through most stakes my hourly will be around 2/3 of a buyin at those stakes. I think this is a pretty decent deal in that I will have a good amount of current experience at that particular stake, and consider myself a fairly decent player and thinker (and I am fairly certain quite a few people could vouch for this.) I think charging your hourly relative to the particular stake you are coaching is pretty fair both ways, wouldn't you agree? Thoughts on this proposal?
Now, onto something much more exciting! I had an extremely baller epiphany the other day after I blew a few candies and cruised a blunt of Northern Lights my buddy got from NC. I often go on blunt cruises before, between, and after poker sessions. I always take a specific back roads route along a protected watershed. Being a protected watershed, only a few people live on this lake, and it is massive. The lake is always on one side of the road, and the other side is usually dense forest. Its absolutely beautiful driving that route at sunrise/sunset. The wildlife, and the thought of fishing a lake that hasn't been fished in 25+ years, calms me, even if i'm not tilted. I have always had this weird thing for fish, whether it be fishing, eating fish, or having pet fish. I decided I had to get a fish tank, with sharks or piranhas. Watching them swim around is super peaceful, and if I ever get tilted, I can just put a fish or other small animal in the tank and watch them devour it, staining the tank blood red, and leaving nothing but skulls and bones once the blood stain settles. I purchased the tank, and all the other essentials for caging a monster, and have it set up on my desk less than 6 inches away from my monitor. Sick, maybe? Baller, absolutely.
As far as random life musings go, I will try to keep it brief. I am working out now that the weather is breaking. I purchased the perfect pull up/push up/ab straps and am doing that routine daily, along with running or biking. I would venture to say that I have gotten a lot stronger faster than any weightlifting routine I have ever been on for sports. I highly recommend trying it out. School is going ok, I am hoping to manage about a 3.5 this semester, but we'll see what happens. I was recently nominated into a few honors societies and an honors fraternity. I dont normally care much about those types of things, but I guess it means I am getting my shit done despite how much I “party”. The fraternity is whatever, nothing exciting has really happened lately. I am still slaying female's on the regular, and still am STD free. As far as drugs go, I have been getting my hands on some pretty awesome bud lately, and recently was informed of the new candy, Opana. Check it out, but I would not recommend ever trying it. Pretty intense stuff though.
Sorry for the long post, if you read all of this, your either a sucker, or a g. Regardless, good lookin' out, deuces,
Pat
Kid Cudi is the illest and realest nigga outta Cleveland atm, after me of course.
While were on the topic of real g's out of c-town, apparently this dude that owes me a decent amount of money is chip the rippers old roommate. So, I may end up having to teach chip's old boy a lesson. What lesson you may ask? Not to fuck around when it comes to the game. I gave him fair warning before I contracted him. Am I being reasonable? Should I give a fuck he supposedly knows chip? I feel nolan will have the most sound advice, being a G himself.
Meed stars $ urgent to make a cashout. Obv i send first to reputable posters although I think my reputation and past transaction history says enough. Hit me up if you can do this asap. thx
