Just finished Death Note and loved it; hoping to find something at the same level. Any suggestions? Started Full Metal Alchemist, but seems very childish by comparison...
bought a treadmill/clotheshangersoon.jpgby whamm!, January 19
goal is to lose a lot of poker fat ive accumulated over 3 years mainly in the gut area. its become this gelatinous blob and im getting lines below my chest. motorized treadmills have become relatively cheap these days so I plan to watch stock tickers while walking ala tom cruise in vanilla sky lolol
anyone do a lot of sportsbetting? i started to do some lately just for fun, but addicting (lol) so think i might try and do more of it. i don't think i'm a great handicapper at any sport so seems like the best method is to just go line-shopping. only thing is i'm US so there's limited options and some seem sketchy. i have couple grand on Intertops from when i was playing poker there so i've only been using them so far to bet sports, with that kind of limited roll is it worth trying to spread it out over more sites for line-shopping (taking into account transaction fees, risk of sites closing/confiscating funds, etc.) or should i just stay at one site for now?
went bombed played nl100 4am lost aipf kk vs at and 35s cunts this shit is way softer than nl2 online lol. Doubled up aks vs t3o ai pf for 43bb down 45 bucks cool story bro
Hi, as I've seen some guys who invests in the market I was looking for any information could be helpful to get started,
like a good/safe site? restrictions law/country stuff?
I'd like to hear some words of motivation and advice from you guys. Here are my stats, please go ahead and find some leaks. Am I folding to cbets too often? Am I folding to 3bets too often?

Just started a fresh account on lock poker and played a bit this week for fun. Most of the players seem pretty bad and haven't had that many problems. Missed the challenge and logic of poker and wanted to get back into it again. So I was looking over my HEM stats and then I noticed this.
Wtf is this. 8 BI of rake in 6.3k hands? That's less than losing a buy-in to rake per 1000 hands. Unreal.
Not that I care that much about the money, but losing that much to rake makes me feel like you have to be a seriously rock solid and good player if you want any chance to be beating this in the long run. It's not like I even have to be slightly better than everyone else. It's almost as if I have to be at 100% all the time and be making 0 mistakes in order to profit.
Immediately went around looking for a rakeback deal on this. Found a deal at raketherake for like 36% dealt rakeback and a 10% point conversion into cash exchange. If I could get even a piece of what I've been losing back I'd be happy.
Anyone know what stake levels the rake starts becoming semi reasonable? (if at all?)
TL;DR
-Got account on lock poker
-playing again for the fun/challenge
-people suck
-rake is huge
-looked around for rakeback
-does it get better?
Happy January,
Hope the new year is being kind to you, it has been a great start for me.
I was hoping someone that has played around with HM a bit more than me could let me know how to set it up to see how a specific holding measures up in different situations.
Eg. KQoff vs a raise and one caller.
Or to see a certain hand by position Eg. 88 utg.
I know how to see by position and by situation, but can you focus it on specific hands?
Also, I will be heading to Vancouver Mainland this week on buisness for a week. I really only have about 2-3days of work to do so was hoping to play some live games while visiting. What are the best venues out there? Is there any live LHE action or all NL? Do any rooms offer mixed game or Ohmaha/8b?
Heading to Vegas in 2nd week of Feb also, maybe you will see me at the Bellagio.
