not getting my hopes up, but startin to look to be going in a much more positive direction.
Thursday they vote again, we get looked at by the govt like once every year, so if this goes through, its pretty big to say the least.
we're appeasing all the casino's and taxes for the government by what I've read, sure theres more to it obv.
so many americans havent played online since 2006 UIGEA, so much dead money you guys have no idea. Most of us found a way to keep playin online from 2006-Black Fri - but all the randoms that just want to deposit and play quit then.
so now lets just hope pray and be patient, this should be a large step for poker, a large step for pokerplayerkind.
haven't used a #Onetime in a long time, never use them in MTT's, so heres my huge 1 time this year.

Really having a hard time to find time to grind the last 3% for supernova goodthing I made an epic comeback today in my short session or woulda been a more grueling grind. http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/4807/chart24.jpg
I have pretty decent Christmas list too, haven't worked on it yet this year, but it's fairly popular both some friends and some random what I assume is poker players since I linked it here last year: http://open.spotify.com/user/dammk%c3%a4rlek/playlist/3yKzxdPWid5CqK0ei2h3OD It's more of a classic rock Christmas.
I've had a very, very good 2 weeks or so since I hit my last milestone and decided to try out prima again. Up a ton after putting 1.2k on the site just to play around a little bit. If I Not bad, not bad at all. Anyway, together with a few half decent months this fall my year shaped up to be decentish. Not good by any means, but at least ok. Not sure about my plans for next year, I might just try to keep a roll on a few different sites and tables select a little to get the variance down. Not sure though! I kind of like variance.
Promised to give 1k€ to charity if I win more then 30k€ this month. Seems like I just might do that. I think I'll give it to Nations Cry.
Home
Nations Cry is a humanitarian organization focused on improving education in the developing world. Building schools, improving curriculum and training teachers are just a few of the ways that Nations Cry is helping to build a better future for children in West Africa and Central America.
Nations Cry uses extreme financial discretion, spending money only when required and where it is most effective. Our Financial Promise is that 100% of the donations received are used exclusively for humanitarian projects.
Our goal is to create a legacy for future generations by empowering those in need through long-term, sustainable solutions.
On their homepage they give a financial promise stating that:
1. 100% of the funds donated to “The Storehouse” will be spent on direct humanitarian related activities. 0% of these funds will be spent on administrative expenses.
2. No salary will be paid to any individual working for Nations Cry
3. Nations Cry will spend money when and where it is needed most without exception
That's how a organisation like this should work. The guy in charge of this is Nolan Watson who I've blogged about a fair bit earlier. I'm a serious fan of his.
right now there is a six day round the clock radio marathon going on in sweden. the project is called musikhjälpen (the music help, or something) and has been running for 8 years straight. it basically is a charity programme where you wish a song and donate money for different causes every year. this year it's all about clean water and proper sanitation for children in slums around the world. my plan is to donate my profits for this week (right now 2000 dollars i think) on sunday. does anyone wanna join me (remembering no donation is too small or large)? if this is the case we could coordinate our donations using ihelp.se, labling it liquidpoker or something.
you can also follow the "show" at http://www.svtplay.se/video/901977/14-12-00-00 or http://www.musikhjalpen.se. right now we've reached 8 million SEK (like 1,2 million dollars i think) and we only have until sunday at 6 pm to break last year's record of 16 million SEK (2,4ish million dollars).
if you wanna know more about the project before doing anything, just let me know and i'll explain. if you don't believe the money will be headed in the right direction, you need to know that the initiator (radiohjälpen) has been around for 60+ years and they will be declaring where all the money went/is going for this year in march 2013.
Finally my Samsung 305t is crapping out. The thing just flickers dark shadows whenever I turn it on now so I just disconnected it and am playing only on my 24" LG. The resolution is not very good and I can't really fit more than 4-6 tables on there comfortably.
I need to get a new setup. I looked at the 30" monitors available and they all seem to be >$900. I don't think it's worth it to spend that much money just to get an extra 3 inches when the 27's are significantly cheaper. I've never played on a 27 before though. Do you guys have any experience doing so? If you have, which monitors would you recommend? I'm thinking about getting 2 27s.
I'm trying to find out whether or not my employer is screwing me On overtime. I work in California. Overtime is defined as hours worked over 8 in a day or 40 in a week. Overtime rate is 1.5x and after 12 hours in a day it goes up to 2x.
I want to look at the part specifically when I work more than forty hours in a week. Do I get overtime for every hour after the first forty? Or is it just after forty non-overtime or regular hours? Let's look at a simplified example to clarify.
Workweek is mon-sun
Monday I work 15 hours
Tuesday 15 hours
Wednesday 10 hours
Thursday 8 hours
Friday 8 hours
So Monday I accrued 7 ot hours
Tuesday 7 ot hours
Wednesday 2 ot hours
So 16 overtime hours the first three day (in which I worked my 40 hours) so would the last two regular days of my week be overtime since I have already worked 40? This would be the most beneficial calculation to me because it would leave me a total of 32 ot hours out of the 56 hours I worked.
My work doesn't pay me like this though they don't start shelling out ot after the first forty; the sequence of days doesn't matter to them. They make sure to pay 40 reg hours then anything after that is ot.
So since they look at it like they are going to pay me for the first 8 out of each day and THEN anything after that is ot so in this scenario I only get 16 hours ot. In this scenario I am not rewarded for both working two huge days and a longer week they kind of lump the two together to pay the minimum ot.
I'm Rubén Barrera from México and been in tlpoker.la since 2010
I do decent in micro stakes, but i've never been able to have a stable bankroll because i have to make cashouts month after month to pay college.
I'm looking for a stake to play SnGs 45m, I intent to mix some $7 and $3.5 due to the traffic in $7 is vlow at some hours.
What I expect and can offer is:
-Stake of 150 bis, around $800 so i can have 'space' to play with no pressure
-A short term deal, lets say 2k SnGs (15 days~)
%s and details can be discussed by PM or via skype, you can find me as 'rubbago'
As much as references i´ve worked some stakes in the past with some Lp'ers in tlpoker.la and i'm mod in there, but that makes no difference i guess... Baal can give an insight about how I work, and thats all
Currently dont have graphs in hem, but i can post a ss of my sharkscope, a mix of stakes from $1 to $15(90% under $10), and many types of SnGs.. but 45s are like 95+% of them.
I know there is considerable weight in genetics when talking about these two behavioral traits in human beings, but there must be some learned part, no?
If so, is there anyway to increase charisma? Increase being "liked"?
I have a solid medium group of friends, but I came to some realizations that, while we spend countless hours and over 15+ years on education regarding history, math, sciences, english, writing; we don't focus any of that on learning to become "likable" or "charismatic"
i think people will be to eager to call these traits "phony" and "smiley" and "fake", but it seems as though we will be working and interacting with human beings for another 50 years. doesn't it make sense to learn some of these traits?
if it is teachable, how does one go about increasing charisma and likability?
Well another year in the books for Sven, 25... Damn every year I look back and see how big of an idiot I was the year before.
Eh - hasn't been a bad one though, the job is awesome, the business is okay - haven't really been pushing to much time into it, or as much as I would like (I'll probably kick it up some more in the spring)
Apartment is super nice, 10 minute drive to work.
Here's a few pics of my living room. 106'' projection screen + theater seating - super comfy couch.
Blackchip seems to be one of the best sites running in the states right now, hero has lowered there gntds alot, but they are still getting up to 5k in 2k gntds etc..
