| | metal specialist - what band? by voodoouser, May 21
For you black metal specialists:
I found an old compil cd i burned about 7 years ago but the tracks have no IDTAG.
I'm looking for the name of the band (+ if possible the name of the album it's coming from).

Any idea?

| | Poker with Jerry Yang by DarkDevildog, May 21
Fuck me to tears! i was just getting finished writing this fucking blog, and i accidentally hit back on my mouse, and it took me to the page before... went forward again and all the text was gone!... fuck here it goes again.. this is going to be a shortened less-indepth version... because i'm tired/lazy.
So Syntax and me just got back from Morongo. Left at about 11ish, got there at 1ish. Decided to play some 1/3 while we waited for the buffet, so i played for about 45 minutes, and came up $126. I'm thinking TIIIGHT great start!
So i go eat this AMAZING buffet!(if you know where morongo is, and ever go there, i STRONGLY suggest you eat there, absolute best food.)Anyways, after the pure euphoric buffet Syntax and i go back to the poker room and decide to play 2/5(he's rolled for it, i'm not). He had to wait about and hour and a half for him to play, so we decided to play 1/3 until a seat opened.
After he left to play 2/5, i was waiting for a seat. I got Dealt AKsuited. I raise to 12 pf, get 2 callers. Flop comes Tspades - Qspades - Jx. the Nuts, sweet!. well BB donks all in, and MP insta-shoves!, i have about 125 behind me(MP had about 300, with BB being short-stacked and having like 50 total). So i snap call with a smile. Turn is a Ax, and River was a 4spades..... BB flips over AK, MP flips over K-9 spades. and i Flipped over my AK.... such a sick setup. I can't be mad at K9 shoving because he flopped a straight and a flush draw... turned the nut-straight, rivered flush. Tight.
umm Lost another buyin somehow, i forgot, probably did something stupid.
Then a 2/5 table opens... and i have like ~200ish... so i joined like a retard.
I doubled up from Cbets/taking down pots on the turn, so i'm at about $400. Then i got dealt Jacks twice in a row, first time hit top set, got about $50, 2nd time i raise pf after people limped, got a caller, flop came T-8-4, i bet like 3/4 pot, he calls. Turn is a 6. I bet 2/3 pot, he calls, which at this point i'm pot commited..., river is another blank, i shove, he thinks for a few seconds and calls. I said "shit you have me beat most likely..." i flip over my JJ and he mucks. wtf? i played that hand sooo badly, and overvalued it soo badly, repping such a strong hand... i made him turn over his cards and he showed 5-6 hearts! how the fuck does he call that river all-in? Anyways, i shouldn't complain, he just doubled me up to around 900(he had a wad of 100's in a rubber-band, and about 500 in chips)
Anyways, hand of the night!
i don't know how much i'm at in this point, i'll just give you the rough estimates on what happened. I got delt AJs on the Button, MP raises, LP calls, i call.
3-way pot. Flop comes A-4-A. MP bets 100, LP raises to around 100, i call, MP calls. wtf?. Turn is a K. MP checks, LP bets 200, I call, MP calls. River is that Magical Jack. MP shoves(LP and i had about 300 more than him at this point), LP calls, and i Shove.
LP thinks about it for about 3 minutes, and shows me AQ. then folds. i congradulated him on a great fold and then took down the ~$1400 pot =]. I never did get to see what MP had though... it has to be like 44 or KK... only thing i can think of that makes sense.. So yea i'm a luckbox at this point, and i realize it, so i did a few more revolutions then got up and played blackjack. Told myself i would only play with 100, if i doubled it, then i'd stop and if i lost it, that was it. Well i lost it.
Then walked around the casino a bit. Then decided to go play more poker. I started playing 1/3 with my friend Jackie. I donked off about 120 doing stupid ass shit. Straddling, doing retarded stuff. Example: 2 times i straddled, 1st time 2 people called, i looked down at J2o and decided that if i raised, theyre hand wasn't good enough to call or else they would have raised(unless they were passive) so i took it down with J2, and showed, to build a shitty image of myself. 2nd time i got dealt 7-2, haha. did the same thing and showed. and then did some pretty reckless stuff after that since 100 didn't seem like that much to me, and i was getting more enjoyment having fun rather than trying to win money.
Anyways, after about 30 minutes, somebody say "Hey thats Jerry Yang playing!" i look over and he's at a 1/3 table playing! wtf? 1/3? lol. So i finally bribed some girl for her seat(i really wanted to stack him... so badly, i gave her $20 for it). 1 hand i saw him involved with i saw him fold top set vs rivered straight(sick fold imo, he had a crazy read on the guy) and then he fucking got up and left to go play 2/5 because a seat opened up!.... so i paid $20 for no reason.. donked around there for a bit, then i decided to play 2/5 again, this time being a little more properly rolled for it.
So a seat opens up at a 2/5 table, and i sit down, and to my right is that Ray Romano looking guy who donated $450 by calling with 65suited.
I sit down and wanted to buy-in for $325, he looks at me and was said "I don't want you to sit here unless you buyin for the full $1500 that you had at the other table". My exact response went something like this "What the fuck? you dumbshit this is a different table and its been over 2 hours since i've last played". His witty ass response(and i kid you not, this is exacly what he said), "well maybe i'm a dumbshit but you have to buyin for that amount". then i told him i didn't have to buy-in for shit and sat down. He called the floorman and complained and got me moved to a different table. The floorman kindly replaced me with some super short-stacked guy with about $70 behind him, hahaha.
At the new table i was running hotter than Jerry Yang and Jamie Gold. I got Aces, then 2 hands later i got Kings, then after Kings i got 9's, then after that i got 7's.(this was all within a 1 1/2 orbits) it was ridiculous. Umm so i had originally bought in for 325ish, and cashed out for 829. sick profit tonight, i feel good, even though i realize most of it was running extremely well.
OH then to top off the night, i was going to leave, and i was telling this cop(who i was playing 1/3 with for about a hour and a half) about that Ray Romano looking guy and he told me to fuck with him before i left. So i took his advice.
hah... Jerry Yang was signing auto-graphs while playing poker, so i went up to Jerry Yang with a little White Card, and asked him if he had his sharpie on him. He left it at the other table so i went and got it, then went to that Ray Romano guy and said, "Can i get your autograph?", he was like, "huh?" and i was like, "your ray romano right? from that show?". lol put him on super monkey tilt. i think the fact that alot of people were laughing added to it to. Then some nasally guy to his left was like "come on man stop being a jerk! he didn't do anything to you!" so i just laughed and left with my $1850 profit 
Sorry this was long. Alot happened. Probably more did, but i'm too tired to write any more, and i'll be suprised if half of you read all of it.
p.s. he let me touch his WSOP bracelet. Your not balla until you have one of those.

| | House + Cigarettes by k2o4, May 20
Ok, for all you House fanatics out there, I have to talk a bit about the season finale. Fucking awesome.
http://premium1.uploadit.org/IAElitesquad//notlupus.png
But before I get to that, I first have to publicly put down a commitment I just made to my GF. See, we got arguing cause I wanted to smoke a 3rd cigarette tonight after having a few beers (so I'm tipsy) while celebrating Obama's victory. She felt I was starting to chain smoke and getting addictive in my cig habit. So we agreed that I would smoke 1 more tonight and then take a month off. I like the idea. I'm not a big cig guy, just smoke when I drink and occasionally when stressed. In the past when I've felt like I've started smoking too much, I've instituted 1 month breaks on myself to make sure I'm still in control. I don't end the month break with some sort of 2 pack a day binge or anything - normally I don't even realize that the time is up. But the longest I've done one of these since being with my GF is 1 week, and I didn't even make a big deal about it at the time so I'm not sure she noticed.
I'm excited to do this cause I'm already on a bit of a health kick and I like doing things like this to challenge myself to give up shit that I always say "I could stop if I wanted to". It's very much a mental addiction to me, and I have the hardest time with it when I'm drinking cause a smoke goes so well with a beer in my mind. So this is really a mind over matter type of situation for me. Luckily I've never had any physical urges for cig's despite having times in my life where I smoked like crazy. It has always been a mental desire cause "a cig is so good after a meal" or "I'm stressed and I just wanna walk around outside and smoke" or "I'm drunk and would love a cig right now". Time to put my money where my mouth is and prove to myself and my GF that I can stop whenever I want, AND that I can stick to my word.
Now back to hizzouse...
Last weeks episode was awesome. Intense the entire way through, some fun sherlock holmes style mystery, and great dream/flashback sequences. It ended on a crazy note learning about Amber and having us wonder wtf house was doing with her. Tonight I downloaded the season finale and watched it with my GF and we both were crying by the end. I'm such a sap.
I think they tackled it beautifully. Honestly I've started feeling like house was getting repetitive and boring, but right when I thought there was nothing left for them to do to get me interested, they brought these last 2 episodes out. It was intense to see some emotion from house and, personally, having someone I love and would hate to lose, I got down with how wilson felt. Overall I think these last 2 episodes constituted the best season finale so far, followed closely by the one where foreman nearly dies.
Crazy shit. Well written. Great acting. Smart writing in terms of how they took amber and made her into such an important character. And while I thought losing foreman/chase/cameron from the main team would kill the show, they found a way to make it work in these last episodes. I still think the original 3 pwn the new 3, but now I'm excited for the new season.
Alright, that's all I have to say about house. Now it's time to go have my last cig for a month. Wish me luck!

| | Some thoughts + stats... by Cro)Deadman, May 20
So today I played two session,first one wasn't that successful but the second one surely made it up lol :D.
After like 2 months of running like crap today was a pretty solid day,im very pleased with how I did and judging by my bb/100 how could I not be.
Overall I still feel my poker game is improving althou I haven't been watching any videos recently due to having problems with CR,but I guess it doesn't matter that much when I have LP to ask for all my problems concerning poker.
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/6392/wowoawl4.png
I just installed PT3 so those are the first stats I have (still waiting on reg key I bought from LP store tho :-() but those are the stats I usually run at a large sample aswell,well except of the winrate ofc lol.
If someone more expirienced could say something are they good/bad what should I try to improve I'll gladly listen.
Cya!

31k hands in February 2 - May 20. I dont have a graph or anything like that but i added up the numbers it says on my rakeback accounts. I feel like such a n00b and that number should be like 10 times what it should be. Altho in may i only played about 3.5k hands because its finals month and i gotta pull my grades up. Another factor why i dont play much is parents :D but moving out after summer.

| | Strip dominos by Baal, May 20
Well this saturday i had a "date" with some girl, i tried to google drinking kinky games like strip or something but i couldnt find anything at all, and she doesnt know how to play poker but loves to play dominos so i decided to add it a little twist, (its latin dominos not retarded american one), well the rules were, evertime you have to pass and steal bones you give a take a big drink, and everytime you lost and u had the 6/6 or 0/0 bone in your hand you loose 1 piece of clothing or every time u reached 100 points.
Actually the stripping pace turned out to be too fast, so i had to condone her the piece of clothing for extra drinking, so i think the perfect balance is only 6/6 and 100 points strip.
anyway in the middle of the night she went to the bathroom and i decided to take a snapshot of the current action lol

| | Bears, Boredom and Beethoven by Gawuss, May 20
'Be or not to be, that's the question'
I haven't played poker (cash games) for about 5 days, because I got a lot of learning etc. to do. I had to read Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and "Makbet" and Kochanowski's series of threnodies. I got a few tests to pass (I think I'll have to write 2 of them once again lol) and I also got bored with poker. I just didn't feel like playing. I made myself to play some of the big tourneys on Sunday but obv I busted out before money.
However, I had a really good time with my friends this weekend and actually all this month. That was probably one of the reasons why I didn't play poker cause I finally felt that there are other really great things to do, not only to sit in front of your computer and 'make ez money online'. I just can't isolate myself from the real world and from the other people.
So I got the 4 FTP Bears I ordered some time ago and they are pretty sweet (well, now I've only one left, cause I gave away the other 3  )
http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/8717/picture38ap6.jpg
As I mentioned before I have been hardly playing poker this month. Today, after 5 days of poker's abstinence, I played a short 2/4NL session on party. It went pretty well, I was up 1,5 BI.
I've also bought PT3. I like it, especially because now I can show you some nice graphs (PokerGrapher doesn't work for me, don't know why)
http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/9505/tdayrn5.jpg
today's graph
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8546/partymayek2.jpg
And that's the graph of my party winnings earlier this month from the PT3 Beta DB. You should add both these graphs to see my entire May winnings on party.
PT3 doesn't support BossMedia HH yet so I'll just post stats from PT2 - my ongame and boss media winnings together (obv some hands were not imported so the number of $ won is not correct):
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2994/statsmaylk7.jpg
I'm up like $4,1k overall this month (up almost $5k in cash games, down $1k in tourneys). I'm planning on playing more 2/4 and 3/6NL in the next couple of days cause of a few days break from school.
Btw. after reading a thread about classical music I played some of my father's CDs with Mozart's, Vivaldi's and Haydn's music. I think it relaxed me a little bit while playing poker I reccomend everyone to try it. It makes your mind clear and happy.
Ok I think I spent more time on writing this entry than I expected but that's ok, I'm kind of proud of myself I finally did an update
peace !
P.S. I <3 "The Sopranos". Watching season 2 right now.

| | 200nl is full of retards by whamm!, May 20
table were so fishy couldnt take getting hammered with draws nonstop. wasnt stacked at all but nonetheless i found myself with a set, then like draws hitting left and right and ppl just check/call the shit out of their draws. players here are so much worse than 100nl. well i was lucky to stack like a guy for raising utg with aj off (wtf?) another i just looked up and showed aq off utg also. i mean these were like regs here but i dont think they were multitablers or anything. so after losing a buyin to folding the turn nuts, i cant checkraise allin my strong hands coz they just check behind 100%. so i keep pounding but was just unlucky by the river like always. oh well i did end up a buyin and just left. i think ill be taking a shot here once again and i hope i get luckier with my oop sets this time. im liking the action and the players obv, coz i feel most that i played with were a bunch of lucky idiots except for some lpers i saw there (hi capa) gotta get some sleep tho coz its been a very long day and wasnt able to sleep after going out for some drinks so i took my shot a little typsy but not wasted by any means. im out. peace and gl ppl.
