So the other day, I played a ton of sit n goes at pokerstars. Halfway through my session, the tournaments I am registering stop opening, and before I can notice, I've registered, and blinded out of ~30 turbo sit n goes. (I just assumed that TN malfunctioned and wasn't registering because sometimes it hits the tournament tab, and doesn't reg stuff, but it said "currently registered in 40 games".) After I saw this, I click "registered tournaments" and it says I'm in 40 games that are running... I still have ~13 tables up that I am playing with 0 error, completely connected to the internet, using skype, youtube, etc without a single problem. I email stars about the problem, and they say it is somehow my fault. Thoughts? http://www.liquidpoker.net/userpoll/draw.php?poll_id=1360
Poll: Should I get a refund?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): Nobody cares
Sorry if this wastes people's time, but I feel that stars support has been getting worse post Black Friday, at least for me. A lot of times before, they would be a lot friendlier and joke around, etc, and these days they seem to just be dicks with no sympathy for someone who lost ~30 buyins due to an unknown error or an "internet outage" even though I was connected the entire time, and even played games after the software glitch, or whatever it was.
HI LP! My name is Ryan Neilly - I've been trolling LP for 10 years, growing up and learned a ton from this site!
I grew up playing poker in back smokey card rooms, 50 cent big blind - was busto all the time, but i was just the best player ever, they just sucked out on me every time!! I saw this video by some awesome player - think he name was TUFF_FISH - a real 5/10 GRinder- he showed me the way!!!
JK - my coaches are woodbrave / jlost88 / baza88 / marshall28 / DoomerFD taught me FR/ Raszi Taught me HU, Andrewsong and I used to be pretty tight b4 he got super high stakes - I can NOT praise this guy enough. Hes amazing.
so I donked around like the donk I am for years learning to play - Hevad told me via MsN one day in like 2004 (You will learn to survive) and that I did.
The only poker book I have ever read is Barrys book on how to handle yourself lol.
so i grinded cg's nl2 - nl100 $20 - $3k - then dumped it when they caught on and i couldnt adjust heheh
so i moved to nl50-nl1k HU and played there for a year, i lost a year of my life but got lucky and beat frink for like 20bi so that was the stripper success! and that raidan game at 25/50 was so much fun in hindsight, i cant help but laugh
i moved to vegas in 09 and jlost88 and woodbrave got me MTTing! Things went great! My Roomie Quoc and Dee were awesome and up n comin, great atmosphere and knew this was for me for the rest of my life.
Then I had artanis and a ton of ballas put me into a ton of tournaments i was not ready for at all.
I went 45k in debt faster than a rock hits the ground from your hand to the street.
since then, I made yet another mistake - this is the one that stands out the most in my life and gets a label of "scammer" by my name - in 2010 I had a stake with Partimepoker.com - $8k stake - went to 15k - then had a 8-11k downswing. at this point i went super hardcore degen mode and lost the last 4k that was in there (hu cash my weakness - i had completely lost my mind at this point).
I vouched to pay it back in full for my mistake on the last 50% of the stake (and have paid off only 1.4k so far)
Its similar to when barbieman from LP staked me 3.5k and i degened it, and I Paid him back 100% back within 1-2 months.
I am TerrIble with $$$$ in hand. I am a HUGE pothead. I post rants, and had deep bad anger problems for years. I lived the most unbalanced, unhappy life of most grinders for soooooo long. It was my fault. It is what it is.
I let all these kids run me over on a forum for years after that mistake - trollin me to tilt daily, they loved it, and I understand 110% why.
I just takin it on the chin like Tyson from Holyfield, gettin ready to bite an ear off after it finally got to me.
So, then during a week of just being pissed at everything in the world, i spazzed shit on everyone and everything in the world, with the decision that lp was hurting me at the time - instead of when i joined and it was helping me etc. it was just negatively affecting my day by day mentality. I apologize for that, obviously just a neillystonednutsorant#
so i went to work for baza88 for a year and made some good monies and got to the highstakes circuit for a year, he took good care of me and I'm forever grateful for all the work we put in together and the shit he put up with me during my "growing pains"
After a crazy summer in Costa - I was renting a house off my dad and owned hero/carbon to acr - but just got sick of no stars. I was 40k in Makeup with brad 1 month into costa, after 3 months it was clear, during my stint in the states - it sucked w/out a MTT platform, and had to wait 3 months for m carbon $$ which sent me back to bustoland haha..
*prolly shoulda called Kanish*
Talked some with a few good friends, have a large investor group - but took 1 main investor on since we have been great friends for 4 years. Have backups if need be, but this guy is a true 10 in all areas of life and gives to charities etc, so def love working with him.
So the kid you guys "know" - has grown up a lot, learned cause and causality - accept the negative statements that were directed at me as I was doing the wrong thing the wrong way.
To be Frank, I should be debt free, Baza88 was giving me 3k a month to play for him and I was just blowing it and thinking (ill just pay off my debts when I get a nice 15k score) - terrible way of thinking. Also when I left Vancouver - I paid off 21k in debts and kept 7k - bought a truck - and totalled it - making my car insurance 3x higher. FML karma you are good.
So ya - i was getting really agitated of no good platform to grind on, Ottawa was a great choice because its just so close to home.
Getting into Canada was easy this time, just told em im comin up for poker and they let me right in.
been here a week, have had some real deep runs etc, 22nd big 162 etc, won a 109T, but down overall right now - been forcin things a lil bit - for the buy-ins its nothin tho - 1 win gets me to even heh (500 mtts played in about 7 days of play ~14 hrs a day)
so ya - that neilly guy you guys hated on forever smashin him down, to make your failed lives or egos feel better, has had a career in the game since 2009. Is still 15k in debt, but thats just a number. 1 win. That guy did deserve all the shit you guys gave him, he was a real prick, thought his shit didn't stink, and thought he could just do everything his way. Kid was a fuckin retard.
ah, last week - got top 35 in FTOPS - 1st was over 100k that woulda been sick, over 3k runners.
Anyways.
LP you own - Marshall / Jlost88 / Stroggoz / TalentedTom / Andrew / Hevad / Target / few others - all you guys are like the only ppl I seem to know on here anymore.
I am happier and (more) content in my life now, staying w/ a friend in Canada til 9/1, then getting a place. The greens $100/half for kush delivered, no politics, I need citizenship .
I wish you all the best of luck, Just wanted to send a message out to the LP - stoned morning rant, Hope you guys are all doing really well.
Bout 100 hours of play last 7 days - takin a day off to get a cpu chair and go out and do something. Been inside mostly the last 4-5 days.
First week in Ottawa, I got to see the Capital of Canada with my roomie, my god its beautiful, like that song - castles in the sky, there are castles everywhere. its so sick. and um, spearmint rhino can suck it compared to the clubs up here.
respect to you guys,
gl if u need it,
Ryan - that Neilly guy
So I've built my roll playing micro stakes cash to $200. I've always enjoyed tournament/sng play more then cash, but I think cash (at least for me) has helped me learn the basics of poker better then tournaments/sng's would have.
Anyway, so I really feel ready and want to transition to mttsng's and some mtt's. What kind of brm should I use for these games? I was thinking 100 buy ins minimum for mtt's, and 200 buy ins for sngs? So I'd play the $1 and $1.50 45/90 man sngs, with occasional $2.50 180 mans just trying to bink one. Also play mtt's no bigger then The Big $2.20 for ex, with occasional $3.30 and $4.40 shots.
I'd build the roll to to about $625 or so, and transition to just playing the $2.50 180 mans and tournaments no bigger then $5 with occasional shots at Sunday Storm for ex. Does this sound like an ok plan? Also, any advice for playing games would also be greatly appreciated.
This site is dead gotta spice it up and drag neilly back in.
Hes back grinding on stars since august 15.
567 $26.24 -11.1% -$3.11 -$1,766
Not even a downswing but for neilly hes probably raging on some other forum. I say we get him back home come on neilly we love and hate you but we need your entertainment
if any of u guys out here for the seminole tourney main event and wanna grab a drink or whatever lemme know ... i brought this girl with me but she is kinda driving me crazy.
I've made a habit of knocking over my morning cup of coffee and getting it all over my keyboard and my pants. This annoys me. I'm probably out like 50 bux in keyboards just this year and in addition to that my favourite gym pants smells like Coffee.
I de-installed Dota 2 today. I got super tilted when I got owned mid by a pudge while my gf tried to talk to me. I never get "angry tilt" in poker anymore. I can't concentrate for shit when anyone talks to me, which annoys me a bit.
It's too bloody warm. Summer is nice and everything but my brain shuts down when it gets to hot. I can't concentrate on anything.
I looked at some houses online and noticed that anything decent in the areas I really want to live in is like 500k US or something like that. I do not currently have 500k. Unless gold hits 3000 USD or something I really need to figure out how to go about being a solid 10/20+ reg with work ethics and successful 25/50 shots. That or get SNE next year while maintaining a really good winrate. I'm not sure which one is harder, probably the 25/50 one. On the other side I'm kind of inconsistent with grinding so I'm not sure.
I have a decent mouse that's super awesome because of the thumb/palm curvature is perfect. It's wireless, so I use a USB receiver that I plug in front of my computer. I have some cheap headphones that I usually plug in the back of my computer. I'm not sure why, but I moved them up front. Ever since I did that, I was able to hear static. At first, I thought it was just a bad port or whatever it's called, since I have to regularly push it in a little once in a while so both sides work. Yet, somehow, tonight, I was able to tell that it's actually the mouse signal, cause the static only happens when I move the mouse.
I am really stoned and it's like the coolest thing ever. I can hear my mouse.
I'm planning on getting a Runitonce.com account which is $100/m, if anyone wants to split it or if someone has accounts on other sites and dosn't have one here and wants to share then give me a shout. Looking for the most economical way of doing it
Vemma annoys the shit out of facebook by PplusAD, August 16
haven’t blogged since that funny MMA incident.
Some stuff about my current life (If you are not interested skip to the part that says Vemma...)
In the last months my life finally has gone pretty much the way parents always tell you how a life of an adult should look like when you are a kid
I currently work two enjoyable jobs part time
1.)I am selling office products (office chairs,computers, other electronics ,furniture etc. )for a big company to other companies who did ask for offers. I do that as a part time job 5-6h a day from monday to friday.
2.) I am working as a fitness and health coach 3times a week doing my own small business whenever I have free time.
Job 1 is more relaxed then your typical sales job since I get enough fixed money + some very small commission percentage. (opposed to small fixed money and big commission percentage in stressful sales jobs)
Also the fact that the company only sales quality products to other companies that did a request makes it a lot easier.
There is a giant difference between "annoying the shit out of potential customers -> persuading a 50year old women to buy shitty dog food for 40-60$ on the telephone" and trying to sell a product like a good office chair to a company that has called us 2 days ago and asked what we have to offer concerning office chairs since they need ~20 of them.
I haven’t been very active in MMA for almost 3 years now...
I still train occasionally
Have been living together with my Girlfriend for almost 2 1/2 years now
I am 28years of age.
So overall I am living a pretty enjoyable but non baller life right now.
go to bed 11pm
wake up 7am.
eat 3-4 healthy meals a day
Go to work ~ 42h a week
earn enough money to have a good time (nothing spectacular though)
Live together with the same girlfriend
Do Sports in my free time(but nothing excessive)
All my life I had that urge in me to be different.
To do stuff others don’t dare.
To play high risk and win big.
The urge to succeed big or die trying.
That’s why I did choose mostly extreme ways to spend my time in the past.
Doing drugs, making music , fighting MMA, playing Poker as main income for some time etc.
I felt like there is absolutely no way i can be happy living a normal life.
Either total failure or total success. No in between for me.
Ironic , that i now finally did find some inner peace by just being "normal" and "boring"
Which brings us to Vemma
Vemma currently seems to expand big towards Germany and my facebook is spammed big by all kind of different people who try to make money from their energy drink product Verve.
I must admit marketing wise Vemma has done a pretty good job.
They have tons of marketing videos that repeat key-sentences over and over again so that after watching them often enough it makes you want to buy their products.
It reminds me a lot of the pokerboom in 2007 where pokerstrategy ,cardrunners , Partypoker and pokerstars did tell you over and over again that everyone can make a shitload out of money from poker. 100$ as sustainable hourly income was reachable for everyone.
And after seeing enough people succeeding short-term (well you only saw the upswings and never saw the downswings ^^) everyone played poker trying to make thousands a month.
It’s kinda the same with Vemma.
They do sell an energy drink called Verve.
The idea is that you buy a Unit of X energy drinks from Vemma and then resell them to other people.
Since you won’t make a lot of money on that reselling part alone (if at all) Vemma does offer you additional bonus money in case you get other people to buying and reselling their energy drink, too
The more people you get into buying and reselling Verve energy drink the greater Bonus Vemma will give to you.
If u get enough guys into buying and reselling at one point they will offer you financial assistance in leasing a brand new BMW
Their main target audience are guys from 18-50 years of age who so far in life have failed in making a decent living.
To put it in a nutshell their main slogan is like:
You are broke as fuck , have failed in life and don’t know how to make any money ?
Now is your time to become filthy rich. We believe in you , you can do it ! Just go for it !
You don’t even have to succeed on your own. We will make you succeed !
And look at that nice car there ! It’s almost yours !
Well from a legal point of view their is not much you can argue.
Vemma is selling you energy drinks and you can resell them. Totally legal
They offer you bonus in case u get them new customers who also want to resell energy drinks. totally legal , too
The really filthy thing in this is that they play with losers dreams about finally not being a loser anymore.
I have watched a lot of their videos (since its spammed on my facebook) and what they repeat over and over again is
1.) You can do this and become rich ! Look at how rich these guys are who signed with us
2.) We will always help you so it can’t go wrong ! look at these guys who made it with our help.
3.) Our Products are so insanely good and healthy ! and look at that sick car they guy who sells them drives
4.) Sign with us and become a winner in life. And look at that brand new BMW that can be yours
Also it’s very important to spam your messages everywhere.
Get a Message out enough times and some idiot will believe it like religion
>-<
Well at least I get some good Ideas from their Videos how to do marketing right
Gonna need it in case I ever decide to expand on my fitness and health business ^^
