november wen't ok, not as good as i would have liked. working on my senior thesis, so there's minimal time to play. my goals for december are to make 50k VPP so I can get the milestone and to save up tons of dough to blow at the PCA since im 99% sure i'm going now.
thinking i'm gonna try and buy the PS travel gift cert and have them pay for the flight, anyone have experience with this? good bargain?
i think i've developed my game pretty well and am starting to feel adjusted to the games and players i'm playing daily, hopefully the heater doesn't end soon since i really think i run better than anyone on earth.
Well i decided to play a quick session before i took a bath to go out and get wasted with my friends, and to sum it up this is how it went:
it felt like 5nl, it was so incredibly fishy i had to nit it up because it was a jackpot to hit Top pair with a good kicker... KQ hitting a pair was the new top set.
Why does poker wants us to give up on any social life :<, damn now im so tempted to never go out again but alchol and weed are as addictive as money so nope.
Anyway to make this blog slightly less boring unlike muwhelli the yellow chaser posting nudes and Loco bragging about having more monitors than a Casino's security room i will post a christmas picture:
Welcome to my super-awesome blog. Even though it is likely I give up on this within a couple days there exists a small chance of me keeping up with the hassle of your entertainment. Though small it is worthy. I'm not sure what I intend to write about on this blog. I will probably try to limit writing about poker as much as possible. Unless obviously I am in a bad streak and feel the need to post screenshots of my sklansky (whatever the crap those may be) bucks to show I don't actually suck but am mostly unlucky.
Other than that I intend to be writing in detail about things that are going on with LP and projects we are working on. Secret info might just happen to leak through this blog. Since most LP stuff is highly classified and this blog could quickly become boring I will also be talking about MMA betting. I'm trying to see if it's possible to actually be profitable in sportsbetting. So far I have made over 100 bets and have learned a lot with a slight profit. Without redepositing I luckboxed my way up a massive $500 on my $1500 starting bankroll by betting small most of the time. 2008 will be the year to take MMA betting to the next level!
MMA is pretty much my biggest hobby these days. Although once I start making big bucks from predicting the future it will longer be a hobby.
I use http://www.bestfightodds.com/ to find lines that are worth putting money on. For UFC 79 5Dimes and BetCRIS are the ones that have had the lines for a long time, all the others were recently released.
First off a quick peek at the Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale with Clay Guida vs Roger Huerta. Even though multiple sites had the lines for this online for a few weeks and Guida is at -140/-145 for most of them Pinnacle made me very happy when they released their UFC lines today; they were all off by miles. I managed to quickly put $140 on Guida at -121. I do think Huerta is a very good fighter but he is really unproven whereas Guida has gone to war with the best fighters in the division. Huerta is probably overhyped and should have been fighting better fighters already. Little note to Roger: just because you look good doesn't mean you can beat The Carpenter buddy. You're in for a surprise.
Then on to UFC 79 itself which features three awesome matches. If these fights actually happen it is safe to say that this is the best card UFC has ever put up. During UFC79 Raszi will probably give me an angry call about forgetting his birthday but so be it.
The first match being Chuck Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva. Of course Silva is a freaking monster and it's pretty clear Chuck is not a very good fighter and only knows how to beat strong wrestlers with weak standup. He is a bit similar to Crocop because they are both so hard to take down, except that Crocop doesn't have mediocre striking and Chuck does. There is a good chance Wanderlei is going to expose Chuck for what he is; a drunk with a giant tummy.
WHAT THE FUCK CHUCK?
Anyway beforehand I was thinking Wanderlei was the favorite in this fight and when the lines came out he started at EV (basically +100) and I immediately put the max $200 on him. The lines quickly moved into Wandy being the favorite and rightfully so. Now Wandys line is hanging between -120 and -130. However Pinnacle to the rescue even though some other sites had the lines for weeks and had him at -120 Pinnacle came with the brilliant idea to open him at +101 and I managed to put another $140 on him.
Machida vs Sokoudjou is really hard to predict, but I have the feeling Sokoudjou isn't going to outstrike Machida and will have a very hard time taking him down. I wouldn't be shocked if he managed to upset me though. Anyway Machida at -118.
After Matt Serra dropped out due to an injury one day later the UFC actually did something cool. They announced GSP vs Hughes. Now I don't have a clue why Hughes took this fight because he had a good chance of beating Serra and becoming the champion again. This mans ego is going to be his downfall. I don't see any way of Hughes taking this fight. At least Chuck has the capability to knock someone out, same for Sokoudjou. But who are we kidding Hughes' t-rex arms aren't going to knock out anybody. He has very little chance of upsetting. His skillset is completely built to dominate but once he faces a better fighter there's simply not much room in his arsenal for upsetting. Unfortunately I had to take GSP at -250. Today pinnacle also released a weird line on this one and had it -206 so I put some extra money at him. I guess we'll soon be seeing that one at -250.
Recap:
blablablabal, chuck is a drunk, blablabla Guida/Silva/Machida/GSP plz win.
no friends available so going out alone. im totally comfortable with talking to random people. im also slightly afraid ill get into a fight or get thrown out of somewhere. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO OUT, FACT.
anyone an expert on going solo¿
im prety fucked and its 10pm and i just wanna go out. its not like argentina where u go to a brothel and just fuck around. im gonna go to the squaddie or liquid lounge or somewhere and see if i can find anyone i know. chances are i wont. chances are ill say HEY I BET U PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT; WHY, BECAUSE YOU´RE FAT LOLLLLLLLLLLL. and find some friends that way. lol
I have been typing shit for school for a week so I decided to do some productive stuff.
I just learned Chip Twirl, I officially look like a baller at a live table now.
RF online ... well the screenshots i researched (not featured) looked a bit shabby and it came across as a pretty standard/crappy game from the website (although the best option compared to the other games available).
but seriously this game is a w e s o m e =D
o) RvR with 3 races - 1 magi, 1 technology/magi, 1 pure robot. i hate RvR style but this seems to be highly populated and seems like theres main events every few hours. there´s also standard pk i think
o) appearance customisation .. male/female, each with 5 hairstyles, 5 eyes, 5 top starter garments, 5 bottom starter garments, 5 gloves, 5 boots.. (not that these matter coz you´ll have new generic equip after 3 levels... except for the robot race i think).
o) classes are warrior, ranger, mage and specialist (think these are hard-to-play weak crafter classes who can buy and pilot their own gundam .. if they can afford it)
o) you can use any weapon, skill, spec until level 40 (except for a few). but you have to start specialising right away because you need to earn skill points to upgrade your attack, defense, and individual skills. ie a TM system where you use a bow a lot so it upgrades itself. this has let me spent frickin ages trying out all the different weapons. twin axes are huge and godly
o) there are a shitload of drops. money comes easy once you get in the swing, but to begin with it´s hellish coz you need to collect and sell drops so you can buy bags to expand your inventory. you will be running back and forth to a shop to sell drops every time your 4 free slots become full
o) when a weapon drops it can be normal, vampiric, strong, great, advanced, intense, etc. they have various bonuses like hp absorb, increased dmg, hp bonus. i was swamped by these drops and it was well cool =D
o) really fun to play so far =D
(ps notice the guy in the 3rd screenshot... with the axe like 100 times bigger than himself)
Just took a social psychology test about 30 mins ago and pretty much got raped. Finally I get to the last question on the test and I see a curve ball thrown out:
If you fly due south from Detroit Michigan, what is the first foreign country you fly over?
a) Mexico
b) Panama
c) Cuba
d) Canada
Now normally this would be a fairly hard question for someone who wasn't really up to date on their US geography, and I believe the most common / lazy answer would be Mexico. But I'm taking Geography 321 at SDSU right now so I had the exact location of Detroit in my mental map and realized that it was more to the east... therefore it's over Cuba. Sweet, this question was easy. So I go to turn in the test and I ask my teacher: "Hey dude, what's up with the last question on the test?" and he says "Oh, I told the class the answer in the last class period." (Obv I dont go to every class period because that's -EV) So I'm like "Haha, that's a tricky question, because most people would put Mexico, but I know better, I put Cuba, ship it ez." He starts to give a little chuckle, and I'm like huh? Then he turns to me and says "Look it up when you get to a computer."
So I get back and I look it up:
And now I'm thinking it's an ez ship it. Obv it's Cuba see? But upon looking closer I found the horrible truth...
OMG Where did you come from!?! Such a sick beat. WTF!!!
