Hi

Having a good month so far poker wise, and I'm going to Malta with my wonderful gf tomorrow.

If anyone wants to hang out on Malta shot me a PM or msg me on facebook (facebook prefered due to the fact that I won't check LP after tonight for a while).

If anyone who plays PLO wants to discuss hands and crap shoot me a PM, preferably people who plays 1/2+ or something. I think my fundamentals might suck.

Looked through them, some I felt are lol, and some I didn't quite get. Here's a few bits about the laws that I felt were interesting.


Law 1
NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite - insire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.


Law 2
NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS, LEARN TO USE ENEMIES

Be wary of friends - they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoilted and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than enemies.


Law 4
ALWAYS SAY LESS THAN NECESSARY

When we are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.


Law 5
SO MUCH DEPENDS ON REPUTATION - GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE

Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides.


Law 9
WIN THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, NEVER THROUGH ARGUMENT

Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.


Law 10
INFECTION: AVOID THE UNHAPPY AND UNLUCKY

You can die from someone else's misery - emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.

Law 13
WHEN ASKING FOR HELP, APPEAL TO PEOPLE'S SELF-INTEREST, NEVER TO THEIR MERCY OR GRATITUDE

If you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance with him, that will benefit him, and emphasize it out of all proportion. He will respond enthusiastically when he sees something to be gained for himself.


Law 16
USE ABSENCE TO INCREASE RESPECT AND HONOR

Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawl from it will make you more talked about, evne more admired. You must learn when to leave. Create value through scarcity.


Law 20
DO NOT COMMIT TO ANYONE

It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause but yourself. By maintaining your independence, you become the master of others - playing people against one another, making them pursue you.

Law 29
PLAN ALL THE WAY TO THE END

The ending is everything. Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others. By planning to the end you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead.


Law 30
MAKE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS SEEM EFFORTLESS

Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease. All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed. When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more. Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work - it only raises questions. Teach no one your tricks or they will be used against you.


Law 35
MASTER THE ART OF TIMING

Never seem to be in a hurry - hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and strike fiercly when it has reached fruition.

Law 46
NEVER APPEAR TOO PERFECT

Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. Envy creates silent enemies. It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

It's about that time again. Been playing more like a hobby every now and then during these past couple months. Deposited $500 and semi-tilted my way up to $1850 =/. I feel like it's a good time for me to start playing more semi regularly with more concentration (no more 12 tabling bumhunting micro fish while watching SC2 streams ). Now that I'm going to take a nl 50 stab, I think it would be helpful to start subscribing to a coaching vid site again just to help prevent less ??? situations.

What's a good coaching site nowadays? It's been almost like 1.5 years since I downloaded a new coaching vid. I have no clue about all these new coaches.

So as some of you know, I used some FPPs to bink Sunday Million satellites, which I turned into cash and gave myself a shiny new $500 bankroll. I've been itching to play some limits where I would be able to have some stress free fun, so NL25 seemed somewhat of a good idea. There are some people in my club that are struggling around these limits as well, so I figured why not journal my progress and sessions? It'll help me think a little clearer when I'm trying to explain stuff to other people anyway.

I'm going with the approach of playing very loose and not really caring too much if some hands may be marginal or arguably -EV. I think this is extremely beneficial for me because I am forced to find more difficult bluff and vbetting spots. Ideally this is educational for others as well.

So anyway...

The stats are mixed with some 2-4 handed, so with 6 people I'm running somewhere around 35/25 8% 3bet. I was also trying to 12 table, but I kept timing out. There was also this one table where two people to my left were 3betting 25%, and I lost like 15bbs before I realized what was going on. So I cut it down to 10 and things got a lot better. If I wanted to play my super A+ game though, I'd probably need to drop it to 6 or so. If I do a video at some point, I'll probably have to do 4 since my thoughts are usually pretty scattered when I try and talk while playing. It does help that I'm running hot too .

I'll just go over 2 hands I thought were interesting, whether or not they were played well.

Anyway, I'm getting pretty tired. Ideally I score a few more big wins and get to play some NL50 . Then I'll definitely beat Teng out of that prop bet.

I am ready to start grinding again. Whats the best site to start on?

Also, if anyone wants to make $1, stake me $10, once I get to $20, I'll send $11. I'm an RA and have to work the front desk for 6 hours tonight, so i'd like to play tonight, and I can't send money using debit card b/c my bank won't let me.

If you can help let me know!!

Thanks

EDIT!!!
If i do this, how important is the first time bonus? I've only played on cake and ps.

Also, nvm on the $10 stake, i was able to use the instacheck or w/e. Thought it would take a week or something!!! Thanks tho!

Looking for a stake for... SCRATCH-ITS! 83/17 in your favor, whatever amount you want. This is +EV for you, cuz I'm DUE!

Just so you know, last time I got a scratch-it, I doubled my buy-in.
We can grind micro-scratch-its, or we can move up to where they respect my scratch. Your call.

Any excel pros help me out here?

Basically I want to be able to put scroll bars into a single cell. I have a database that in certain sections, a cell has lots and lots of text, and does not fit visibly on the cell. So I want to be able to have a scroll bar to scroll through all the text in that single cell.

I suck at googling and not having much joy so far.

Cheers

Exactly what it says on the tin. I'll send first to anyone reputable.

Edit: make that $226 if you see this in time. That $11 turbo qualifier looks like a giggle.

Edit: This is more urgent now. I'll give $10 vig to anyone who'll help me out on this...
