I bought a car. Blue Mazda 3 brand new for 21.3k. Paying cash - saved it up. Gonna pick it up this wednesday.
Couple days after I bought a car my promotion finally came through.
Got promoted at work and now getting 75k/yr.
Grinding about 40hrs a week per work, sometimes work on weekends, but i get paid for those extra.
With the car it was pretty much impulse buy. Well sorta. I always knew i wanted mazda 3 cos its so reliable and cheap for the value you get. But I had friday off work and it was end of financial year so there's alot of discounts going on. I wasn't gonna buy for next couple of months but my dad goes why don't you buy it. So I called up a few dealers got feel for the price and just went and bought one.
I have been watching a lot of videos online, mainly through academicearth.org. But I don't always have internet access. So I was wondering if you guys have any method to view youtube videos offline.
A few things to consider, I would like to be able to put in multiple URL's instead of tediously download individually (although this may be the only option). I would like to be able to view videos from multiple devices such as phone, tablet pc (once again if possible).
Edit: Ok, got one group full now, working on another one. Keep sending requests and I'll keep expanding. For some reason a bunch of people with very little PLO experience wanted the deal too so I'll probably end up making a cheaper option if 2-3 additional guys wants it. Like, some basic stuff for maybe 60 or something instead of 100.
EDIT: Everyone need skype and a decent head set. Make sure you can talk with decent quality. I'll also need a working(ish) E-mail for google docs or whatever it's called.
Ok, so I've gotten a couple of request for coaching.
I like the idea of coaching, but there is one big problem. My hourly playing cash is reasonably high, although I'm not exactly sure how high and I have limited time. Thus I need to make a decent amount of money from coaching for it to be worth it, but at the same time I'd feel dirty trying to take 300US/hour or something.
The obvious solution is to be more effective which means coaching a bunch of people at the same time. I'm sure everyone who would want coaching from me would get a decent amount of value from that and if I get 100 USD per person for like 2 hours it's still a decent hourly. If I then can reuse that lesson with other people later I'll save time and up the hourly.
I'm also slightly intrigued by the idea of getting it going as a small scale business. It looks much better if I ever want to get a real job and it'd be easier to say that I have my own company rather then go "I play poker on the internetz, lolz" whenever someone asks what I do for a living.
I have the first lesson in my head, it'll be called "Stuff I think is important" and be about a bunch of concept I'm fairly sure I'm getting more right then most other people. It'll probably be around 90-120 minutes. I posted some stats a while back if that's something anyone is interested in but for the most part I'll just assume that everyone who reads this and would want coaching from me knows who I am.
Cost will be 100 USD for the session. First 5-6 guys who apply will get in for the test run. I'll do it with people I know or who has +300 posts before other people.
I'm not going to check my LP-inbox over midsummer so it might take a few days before I get back to anyone after today. Feel free to ask questions.
So I moved up to 5NL today. I noticed that people 3bet a lot more, at least in zoom. I'm still stuck in the 2NL mentality of only 3betting AK, TT + because there's no point in 3betting weaker hands as nobody folds. Like I said, people seem to 3bet more, and also seem somewhat capable of making folds when they are 3bet.
What's a general, good 3betting range to use at Zoom 5NL? Also I assume light 4betting has also become viable.
Played 1/2 at a private game which is way higher than the online micro's I'm used to. I have played small Sit'n'go style games with friends in the past but this was the first time at "real" stakes.
To spoil the ending, I finished down a buyin, the friend I went with up 2, and confirmed that live players are indeed generally really bad. Even the good ones are weird. Anyway I had my friend on the left and basically the only player that looked good to his left. This put me in a miserable spot but hey, seemed like pretty bad etiquette to try and jostle for seats.
Also what is this live players obsession with straddling? Was nice accepting free money but playing with effective 40-50BB really fucked with my head. I'll adapt to this better next time and just make giant 12x or 14x raises over the limpers for easy flop shoves.
Anyway was a ton of fun and everyone at the table was really cool. 6 Hours went by much easier than an online grinding session. It's also insane just tipping the dealer and not paying casino rake. Def going back but it's just been bothering me whether I actually show profit with like 2-3 people better than me, some bad regs and some traditional fish. I hate being the fish and live bankrolls are hard.
I'm not the kind of guy to leave on naked women but I do want to leave this. Science Fiction can go fuck itself, Earth is so much cooler.
So I tried to quit a session to "lock up a win". Lex said that was a leak so I said; "ok, I'll play until both fishes leave". Damn fishes just won't quit. Up 26k, hungry, tilted despite being up 26k (Thank you YOSSUFACHMEND or whatever your name is...) and the fish just won't quit. It's 7am in Sweden. I give up. Time for food and sleep. I'm weak.
