Omg that made my day, nl10 is so funny i think i stacked this guy like 3 times and kept telling him in french he was sooooo unlucky and he kept reloading over and over... now i see how this game is so profitable. Anyway i really had a good laugh here ... good lord im still laughing haha
I was considering playing 10k hands today and just getting the last 3k VPPs, but eh, not sure if I'll just leave it to tomorrow.. It's nice to quit on a good note and just relax. On the other hand, tables are a lot better on sundays than on mondays.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I accidently sat down at a 2/4 table and minraised UTG, wondering why I only needed to scroll up once to get to 8$ 13bb/100 ez sustainable, of course (lol 16 hands).
I don't really think I should fold but his timing was so gay that I wanted to =[
Was also playing horrible/passive/stupid at the end cause I just wanted to get the 5k hands and lock up a win ;p
Yes, dumb, yes, you should quit when you feel that way. Whatever, 2 more days and I'm doneeeeeeeeeeeeee.
VPPs collected 35,591
VPPs to go 8,260
Todays graph (missing 500 hands and 50$ in profits, they seem to be gone)
2 week graph
As you can see the last week has been mad swingy, the result of getting a little worn out and variance catching up with me (I was running verrrrrrrrrrry hot) + the poor play of yesterday didn't really help me.
Ended the day losing KK vs TT allin preflop so that sucks, but had a bunch of really nice hands before that so I can't really complain
I'll probably be done with this by Monday, which is sweeet. Maybe I can even finish it off with a sunday-monday morning marathon

Going to be in Vegas in 14 hours. Yea I know I'm a little late with the main event going onto the 2nd day, but whatever I'm coming. For those who don't know, Mig (46k), Daut (35k) and Rain (40k) all survived to Day 2 of the $15,000 Main Event. Hopefully they can get something happening on the 2nd day. But right now, they are a distraction... because I'm studying for my last final exam. Fuck everyone that is in Vegas right now! I hate you all (until tomorrow)!
On another note, this week I decided to spew some money into some more useful than a sweatshirt. Got a set of Bose speakers for my computer, a new cordless mouse & keyboard, and a baller ass gaming mouse pad. Yes I'm preparing to be a monster at DOTA. I also got a few anime DVDs, that I will quickly review here:
Kurau: Phantom Memory Summary (from Wikipedia because I'm lazy like that): Dr. Amami is a tireless scientist working in the field of alternative energy who at the beginning of the series is on the verge of a major breakthrough in the area of Rynax energy. On her 12th birthday, his daughter Kurau accompanies her father to the lab where an experiment goes horribly wrong and she is struck by a bolt of this energy and falls unconscious. When she wakes up again, it is found that her body has been taken over by the Rynaxes who are actually living organisms and not just a form of energy. One of them is too weak to awaken for ten years, which it eventually does by spawning an identical twin of Kurau, only having the body of a 12 year old. These two people look and interact very much like two sisters. Kurau grows up to be employed as an "Agent": a freelance operative who takes any job that's potentially too dangerous or illegal to involve normal private eyes or the Global Police Organization (GPO). Although barely in her twenties, Kurau is already one of the best in the business, and the rumor is that there's no job she won't take, or anything she can't do. Very few know much more than that, however, because there's no one who really knows her and her past is a complete mystery. In truth, the Kurau the world sees is actually the result of a freak accident in which her younger self's body became fused with an energy-being called a Rynax. This is not a case of two beings sharing one body, however, as the two personalities have merged into a new composite creature that shares two different pasts. As a result, Kurau is the ultimate loner, not quite comfortable with human society and forced to shun close relationships with other humans lest they discover her secret. At the same time, she longs to be reunited with her Rynax "Pair," whose essence sleeps inside her.

CosMo's Word: This series is such an epic fail. I'm sorry to say, but I am truly disappointed. Pretty much the only DVD from the series worth watching is the first one, since thats the one she does all her Agent ninja style ass kicking missions. After the first DVD, the story takes a disastrous turn for the worst as it becomes all about her twin counterpart "Christmas" and how she loves her so much, and then there is some crying when Christmas is captured, and more crying when they reunited, and then more crying when she rescues her father, followed by more crying when she starts talking to him. OMFG!!! Such a good story line turned to total shit. So disappointing!!! This series would be half decent if they just edited out all this emotional crying bullshit. It puts me on the sickest life tilt. The art is A+, the music is A+ as well, the storyline started at a strong B then quickly fell to a solid F (and yes I'm using a letter grading system rather than the 1-10 scale because I'm educated unlike some of you unschooled fucks). So overall: I'm giving this series a D+ because the first DVD is actually pretty awesome.
Ergo Proxy Summary (again from Wikipedia): The story begins in a futuristic domed city called Romdo,[1] built to protect its citizens after a global ecological disaster. In this utopia, humans and androids (AutoReivs[1]) coexist with each other peacefully under a total management system. A series of murders committed by berserk robots (infected with the Cogito virus) starts to jeopardize the delicate balance of the social order. Behind the scenes, the government is conducting secret experiments on a mysterious humanoid lifeform called Proxy, which is believed to hold the key to the survival of mankind. Re-l Mayer is assigned to investigate some of the murders with her AutoReiv partner Iggy. She encounters a Cogito-infected AutoReiv and a fast and flexible monster. She later learns that the monster was a Proxy, the same sort of creature as another main character who normally assumes the guise of a citizen named Vincent Law. After being hunted down, Vincent leaves Romdo, and Re-l tags along to discover the truth behind the Proxies and the domes.

CosMo's Word: This shit is pretty fucking awesome. No doubt one of the best DVD's (of any genre) I've seen all year. Let's start off with the art, the opening sequence is just done so well (youtube that shit if you don't believe me). The entire series is very clean, and all of the action sequences are are very fluid, unique, and unrepeated (watch Dragon Ball Z if you don't know what I mean about action sequences being repeated constantly). The music is just okay, kind of on the dark / goth side (except for the opening, which is again so awesome and you should probably be youtubing that shit as you read this) but it's very fitting with the story line. The story is just awesome, with a ton of historical references subliminally woven into the series. The plot becomes a little hard to follow towards the end, but I think the series ended in such a way that it left you wondering but at the same time completed the story well. The only criticism I have for this series is that I wish there were more action sequences since the few that were actually put together were done so well. This DVD series receives a solid A.
I got a few other DVD that I haven't watched yet, but once I do I'll put up a review for them. If anyone has seen any good anime DVD's recently, definitly leave a comment, I'm interested in watching new things.

Main reason is, I promised Naz, I'd write several articles for the site and it'd be cool to see if I can get any good suggestions. So if you have something good in mind, plz let me know.
Another reason is that it'd be nice for motivation and tilt control I guess.
For the first article, I'm thinking about writing about the fundamental stuff and see what misconceptions people have about the most basic things in poker. Coming up in 3-4 days.
Well i caught some cards today and the tables were very soft today, a couple of minutes into the session i were up 3 buy-ins:
Then later one of the tables emptied and i were left with a new regular who plays arround 24/18-4... quite agressive but definitelly spewy, he was folding preflop everytime, it got ridiculous and i quickly realized this player clearly has no experience whatsoever on heads-up so it was incredibly EV+:
After raised and won the pot, then again, the 3 bet me when i opened button, and i knew this fish realized that he should kick the agression in, but he still sucks so i decided to make a move because he will be unable to realize his real hand strenght, and this hand happened:
I pretty much called preflop only to bluff postflop ont he right board like this one, he took his time to fold so im assuming he did have a semi-decent hand, atleast something like AQ+, probably TT? dunno.
After that the table quickly filled again, and i didnt win as quickly mainly because some fish kept suckint out (std 2 outers) and another big post againast a regular who caught a runner runner low straight where i called him IP with JJ on 2 streets (flatted pf).
anyway the session ended like this:
So anyway im thinking about my next rally car and i think ill get a peugeot 206xsrally, it has less HP than my neon but its definitelly better prepared for rally and i think its overall faster than the neon even on tarmac (on gravel there is no comparition), plus its a "cup" and there are actual money prizes every race... i actually might race the WRC mexico in this car weeeee :D
So I experimented with a pretty LAG style at the full ring games today. I was playing from like 7-9am which is pretty much a time I've never played in my life, and it was amazing, there were like 0 regs on the tables. Well, that's a lie. But the 3/6 tables just had some of the nittier 5/10 regs and the 2/4 had the nittier 3/6 regs and I think playing this way sent a few of them over the edge.
Guess I ran good.
Would be feeling a lot better about it if I didn't go from +4 to -1bi in my last two revolutions at 5/10 last night
Oh and non-poker related, I finished my senior thesis. I hand it in today and present it tomorrow. It's pretty wild cause it really is like the culmination of my life's efforts scholastically speaking. Final product is like ~120 pages. It's a theory-based prediction on the future of international relations in the advent of computer warfare, pretty scary stuff actually.
I got a couple cake finals to do and then I'm going home for a couple days for the holidays...then its off to PCA! BOO YEAH. I have 4 joke electives next semester so I'm pretty much going to be doing nothing but playing madden poker and slay dope clueless shorties. I pretty much feel graduated, it's kind of scary.
Hopefully I'll catch up with everyone at PCA. Hope you're all well.
Cheers.
Oh, P.S.
I been listening to this weird ass norcal "hyphy" music. Everything I read about hyphy culture is extremely absurd. Apparently being "hyphy" means doing mass drugs and being drunk and dancing like an idiot, and like people are embracing this big time in norcal. I sorta got into it listening to Andre Nickatina and stuff... I think I hate West Coast people extra now.
I played 12k hands today or yesterday or whatever... 2 sessions one 2k the other 10
i feel sick and my head is about to explode, why did i do this? well i got stuck and tried to recover the whole night
black line marks the start of second session... check out that free fall.. 0-tilt i swear worst run of my life.
4 days went to shit basically BR back to 10k.. puke
