Improving your game as a live player?by Stim_Abuser, April 21
So like many, since black Friday I've been dabbling a lot live.
Been doing pretty well, but I feel as my game is very stagnant and maybe regressing due to lack of number hands put in, the fact I'm playing with nothing but awful players most of the time, lack of easily and accurate ways to review sessions.
I guess I could put money on merge and grind there, but I'm not sure how I feel about having money on there with all the bad press coming out recently. Not to mention my last stint on there was some awful run bad.
So what kind of things are people who now play live doing to improve their game these days?
I noted every tournaments I would like to play. If stakers want to buy me into more, i'm certainly open! And if I aim too high, and get no action, then i'll tone down the schedule a bit, but I think this is fine.

Hello my dear,
Can we become friends? I am miss Gabriella by name, a young fair and romantic girl,nice looking and easy going, I became interested in you after i found your profile in this website while browsing , I am proposing you for a long-term relationship,reply me here ( gabriellasankara25@yahoo.co.uk ) if you are interested. I will disclose my photos and other details about me in my next mail as soon as i hear from you.
Well, I sort of came to a compromise with Mrs. wh00sel on the one-car situation. She wanted a second car, but agreed to have two affordable cars instead of two expensive ones. So I saw the opportunity to replace her SUV with an economical 5-speed that fits more than enough cargo for our family.
Phase One Enter: 2009 Honda Fit http://www.carwallpapers.ru/wp/honda-usa/fit/2009-sport/Honda-Fit-Sport-2009.jpg
Price: 13,000 (14.5 after taxes/registration)
The problem was that she didn't know how to drive a manual. This car, though is probably the easiest manual I've ever driven. First gear may as well be "D" on an auto, because you have to try pretty hard or be on a pretty steep hill to risk a stall-out, even for a noob. After about an hour of total practice, spread across a few days I'd say she is proficient enough to commute with it, although she still wants more practice before committing to using it as her daily driver. I presume that in a week's time she will be driving it daily without issue.
For you car enthusiasts out there, it's actually pretty fun at the limit too. Although the 2009 isn't as raw as the 2008 and earlier models, on-ramps can still be a pleasurable experience in this econobox.
Phase Two Ditch the SUV https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/ima...zbtCp0Cpmou_ZwAx3RxordYz2EDaeD6jvzEbQ
Self-explanatory, but if I can get it done in the next month before another payment is due on it this will just be a delayed-trade-in for the Fit with no out-of-pocket expenses, and actually a small short-term profit since the SUV is worth more than we owe. Another benefit is that if the car sells before I have to register the new one (30 days) then I get the remaining prorated value of the registration of the SUV to go toward the new registration.
Phase Three

Phase Four Profit! https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/ima...CuznsM996ZGLDvrxp4G21ETV7eN27ugx2A9jY
If we get a second car as planned before the summer then it will probably be some 3-4k beater that gets the job done in emergencies and we can throw down cash for, although I would still rather just have one vehicle, we'll see what happens. As far as actual profit gained by switching to the Fit for our primary vehicle, we will save whatever the difference is in profit from the Santa Fe's sale, plus about 30% (conservative estimate) in gas. Given that we spend about $400 in gas per month, that amounts to $1440 in yearly savings from the switch, not to mention a more reliable car with lower cost of ownership. I also recently got a credit card that gives 5% back on gas so that should make me 150-200 per year in free money.
Next up:...pay down student loans before interest starts in about a year. Next write-up will be about how much we owe on those (I really don't know bc Mrs. Wh00sel handles those, I would guess around 40k *puke* when all is said and done) and if it's worth it to start firing money at it now, or build the roll, so I'll break that shit down soon. I know you're excited, but don't break your F5 key off waiting!
apparently this is old but i just found out about it today and i think it's pretty sweet: if you haven't seen it, it's basically a genie who reads your mind... i've been playing for the last hour, only stumped him once.
*** SOLD OUT *** --- will ask for it to be sent until may 1st, so I can give room for the waiting list in case someone gives up
*total shares was 120 of $250 each making 30k total, since tutz pointed out that I did the schedule basing on Pokerstars' first release, so I had a few of the tourneys wrong on my initial schedule
Its gonna be a make up system of 65% investor/35% player, the total is 120 shares of $250, the total of SCOOP buy ins is around $15k, and the rest of the stake money (total $30k) to be spent on regular scheduled tourneys (mainly $109s/$215s), decreasing the variance of the big SCOOP fields. Obviously I won't be able to play some of the planned tourneys, with the eventual missed tourney having its BI returned to the stake BR and spent on regular scheduled tourneys.
Blogging again, forreal this time?by WilsWils, April 16
Sup LP!
Reading through my last 3 blog posts are about as embarrassing as it gets. I'm preeeetty sure I wasn't in a good place at the time lol, man those cry baby posts were the worst. I want to say a quick thanks to those who sent me nice / confidence building PM's during that time, it was pretty awesome of you guys!
So anyway, life has changed quite a bit here for me. I went to vegas, did well, but never really played online. I ended up dumping about what was left of the majority of my leftover poker BR (something like ~7k) into student loans, and leaving myself about to grind a BR again @ nl100. It's going pretty decently, and now that I'm basically done school (just finals left) a blog will help motivate me to keep playing / posting updates - I'll be trying to do weekly updates, while playing a decent amount of hands.
Hello again LP,
I got there friday night, spent the night in the casino's hotel. To my surprise, they gave me a bed with 2x double bed, which was nice! I don't remember the last time I've slept in an hotel, so the luxurious huge shower and bath were really nice, so I had to take my first bath in about 10 or so years lol.
The next morning, I went for an early swim in the pool, where i hurt myself pretty fucking badly. (i didnt follow player999's tip of "Don't do anything stupid")
Anyways, after fixing my face and bloodied fingers, I went to the registration for the MTT. Every table had a "celebrity" assigned to it. Ours was Michel Therrien.(ex-hockey coach for the Pens and the Canadiens) Levels were going pretty fast. We started with 200bb, and blinds would double every 30 minutes until lvl 4, where it got to something like 300/600/25, then 400/800/75.
I was winning my fair share of pots in the early game, but right before the dinner break, I played a hand like this:
500/100 blinds
I have 99
seat 1/2/3 fold, Michel Therrien limps, I raise 3x (I thought it was folded to me because he didnt play very many hands)
rest of the table folds, Therrien calls. I cover him, and theres a bounty on his head. 90~/150 players left.
Flop comes: QT8r
He checks, I bet 4k, he tell's me "good luck", and shoves 6.5k total. (I immediately thought... fuck i shouldnt have bet more than 3k)
I folded there, because i was 100% drawing, thinking i had 4 outs and it probably wasnt worth it even considering the added value of 500$ if i won the pot.
He got super surprised that I folded, and showed QT for top 2 pairs.
Well we then went to the dinner break, I was super short stack at this point, and just played the short stack for the rest of the tournament really.
My lowest point was having 2200 on my BB, at 800/1600/300 (numbers sound wrong but it was close enough to that) and won 32o vs AJo, with about 70 ppl left, top 20 paid.
I hung on there until I openshoved bvb 5bb with q4o, got called by kqo, and lost 13th, for 693$
O well, I had a good time on there, but the blinds went up so fast so quick. After 3 hours there was half the field gone.
The following documentary talks about Antineoplastins and how they can have a very good cure rate in brain tumours which are one of the most fatal. These pills are synthesized aminoacids and other stuff and the guy who introduced them to the market has been put on trial by the FDA 6 times and found innocent all 6 times. The paradox is that the FDA has approved him already lol. The documentary is extremely well made and researched and they show moments of the court cases, interviews, the science involved, documented cases. They even show many of the patients giving testimonies in court. And even though there is a huge amount of documents and proof in this documentary, it's not a slow one, it's very well directed and a masterpiece. It really shows how corrupted FDA is and what the medical establishment is all about. After all, 50 billions profit per year from the cancer industry is too much to give away. If you want proof - watch it and tell me what you think. The beginning is very powerful. A father who had a babygirl with a braintumor put her on chemo and radiation and after that had to put gloves when changing her diapers because the urine was extremely toxic and radioactive. Then they found this guy's cure. Sick shit, watch it!
I have a long blog in my head that needs to be written including a bunch of hands I've recently played, got in a 6way all in pre for 91k pot at 50/1 yesterday (did not win). Followed that up with a 70k day today though and broke the 400k mark for the year. Seems standard enough.... Everytime I sit down to write something or make a video blog my mind goes blank and nothing comes out
