I haven't posted much in the past few months but you guys were really helpful when I played poker, I wish you all the best in the future. I need to move on with my life.
If anyone is thinking about starting poker I strongly advise that you don't waste your time with this shit game.
So i officially made my first order in China and it feels weird to be doing this wholesale/retailing thing again. I used to import video game accessories and it was pretty interesting and fun, wanted to go into cell phone spare parts but just as i was going to i tried playing poker and it kind of sucked out my life but was still worth it coz of the money i made off it, now i have this 3 year hole where i did not do or think about anything but poker, it has consumed my life in a way and honestly its really tough to balance two things for me and do well in both.
After a week I followed up on my order and the supplier said it hadn't been processed yet so obviously i get pissed for not being informed earlier, i go on tilt and tell them to cancel and they do then this morning i was told the order had been shipped and i told me to pay AFTER receiving goods, thats very rare so thats some good news since I might be able to get a good credit line going if things go well. I do have problems with DHL here thoough since they randomly charge ridiculous customs duties rates form time to time so maybe edzwoo or anybody here with experience in china imports and DHL regulations can enlighten me how to go around it. thanks and good luck to me
BTW: Ill repost these two recent movies I watched (available on torrents now with decent copies)
1. "Inside Job" - explains very clearly (for those who still don't clearly understand) how the world financial institutions with the help of new financial deregulation laws and instruments, namely derivatives, have singlehandedly given financial institutions to "print and create" money for themselves by giving them unlimited earning potential thru the use of imaginative means. They have grown so powerful and huge over time that it is practically an industry which needs no actual commodity, just ideas to sell and bet against for profit without any regard for it's negative impact on the global economy.
2. "The next 3 days" - russel crowe stars in this thriller which is really exciting to watch and heartwarming at the same time. highly recommend you watch this with your wife or girlfriend - the way the hero acts for his girl/wife is so heroic you're partner will actually feel you will do the same for her if it actually happened to you lol
update:
got a stake from dinos friend for 50nl and its ok, at least i get to play poker occassionally with no goals and pressure, theres a good chance i can make enough money monthly to get by and pay for some smallish bills and focus more on my business project. if either one goes well then it might help the other go better.
How to fill the hole in my CV?by Night2o1, February 22
Sup guys.
I'm overall feeling better since I withdrew my roll. I've gotten a bit of an itch to start playing again, and I'm not completely averse to the idea, but I want to stick to my guns and get another income stream before I redeposit so that I don't have to cripple myself by withdrawing from my BR.
Anyway, I am looking for some suggestions on what sort of work I ought to look for. In the spoiler is the CV I used to get a couple of random gigs off craigslist and such. It isn't necessary to read it but suggestions are welcome..
I strive to learn and better myself each day. My work ethic is very high; I strive to do the best job possible under any circumstance.
Work Experience
-August 2007 through March 2008
Faloh Construction, supervisor Mr. Rick Faloh, 407-709-3059
I worked as a producer and assisted in the research and development of high-quality concrete handrails & trim for an upscale condominium development.
My responsibilities were to meet the quality of product required and quota of production each day. I also assisted with other activities around the condominium development such as the installation of live plants and the concrete products themselves.
-April 2007
Ultimatespace Festival, supervisor Mr. Barry Thomson, 406-697-4217
I volunteered as an Assistant Manager of a charitable event for local Billings, Montana charities STEP, Growth Thru Art, and the Billings Art Association.
My responsibilities included the organization of event attendees, musical events, dance shows, the setup and breakdown of tents and stages, and maintenance of the grounds throughout the day. With my helpful oversight, several thousand attendees enjoyed a smooth two day event.
-March 2006 through August 2006
Sebastion Group, supervisor Mr. Stephan Sebastion
I worked on an on-call basis for a Dell contractor. Our tasks were to travel to large office buildings and replace their old computer hardware with new hardware.
My responsibilities included the correct removal of old hardware and installation of new computers. I interacted with the office workers to keep them informed. I also managed 2-4 co-worker's duties throughout the day, keeping them on-task and efficient. I assisted in leading the team to beat rigorous schedule deadlines.
-Various events
I have also worked at least one event as an assistant for each of the following companies:
DeWalt Tool Company
PrintService Group
Education
-Graduated Winter Park high school in 2005
-Currently earning a General AA at ValenciaCC
Anyway, there is a conspicuous hole there for the last 2 years. Should I just leave it empty and explain it individually (how to frame it?)? Write self-employed for 2008-2010 and expound upon further questioning? Again how should I frame it? I feel I worked hard and under very stressful and demanding conditions as a poker player during this time, but how can I translate this or simplify it to something a random joe-employer will understand?
I'm not sure what to do right now. I think it'd be best and easiest to get a part time job like.. delivering pizzas. You make decent cash that way and it has low barriers to entry. Any suggestions? I'm not even sure what 'more ambitious' or profitable work may be available. Maybe I will go sign up with the local labor pool but that is kind of crappy, randomly getting 1 day minimum wage gigs and such. I live in Orlando, Florida BTW
two decent movies worth watchingby whamm!, February 22
Great russel crowe movie, nice thriller
Great follow up to watching "capitalism, a love story", it explains very clearly why the U.S. and a lot of the E.U. countries are fucked up financially, narrated by Matt Damon
I recommend you guys download these two at torrents, decent quality rips out there
here is a link to get you started. I have necessary files and know how to get it installed properly if anyone is interested as well. Hoping maybe to get a group together to at least get through hell once. The boss fights are much much harder in this mod. Even trash mobs have got a huge boost.
gogogo?
ps, if you interested just post your aim/msn here or pm it to me and we'll get a doze group going
Had a 5 fig day yesterday. That was nice, first one in a while. Got an eye infection that have kept me away from BJJ a week or so and then a cold that's messing with me a fair bit. I've read a decent bit and school is still going really well so I guess overall I'm ok with this month, even though some of my goals went down the drain. But I'm happy that I'm doing well overall in life and still manage to put in a decent amount of hands. Not any huge numbers in profit or hands, but still semi-solid so far.
New roomie is awesome, <3. Me and the gf is talking about adopting him.
Really looking forward to the next UFC event, Alexander Gustafsson, Swedens great hope in MMA, is fighting James Te-Huna in a fight that'll probably be a lot of fun and end with a highlight real knock out. The other fights seems cool too, assuming BJ manage to stand a little bit with Fitch rather then getting dry humped for 3 rounds. I think Gustafsson will be top10 material within 2-3 years, the guy has sick stand up, seems to have a lot of power and is just getting stronger. Dunno if he'll fight in light heavyweight for the rest of his carrier or if he has to move up, but still.
Nick "oh-you-de-ent" Ring fights in his first fight back from knee surgery. That might be fun.
Got 5000 SEK (just over 500€) on Shugan Rua to fuck up Jon Jones next month. 500 to win 1300 or so I think, I might try to put more down.
Overall, February has been my most successful month. This year thus far has already surpassed my expectations and I hope I can keep running good.
Although I won't be playing this week, I feel that I should still be active with poker. So I'm offering free coaching for small stakes PLO up to .25/.50 primarily for PLO players but transitioners will still be considered. This will be a good opportunity for me to try to express my thoughts coherently and gauge my ability to coach. Post here or PM me if interested and give me some background about yourself. Just a note: I care more about attitude than anything else.
And I'm looking for some 1/2+ PLO players who would be willing to let me sweat them
Can anyone proofread my news article?by El_Tanque, February 21
I'm a newspaper reporter for my university...I wrote an article tonight on a Yoga class that started up today, and it must be turned in by tomorrow @ 4pm to the editors. I'm not sure if I can get it edited by my professor due to my work schedule tomorrow. I'll try at lunch, but it's not 100% sure she'll be in her office. If anyone knows how to go over and edit my paper in Associated Press style, that would be awesome.
Northwestern's Wellness Center began offering a new yoga class Monday Feb. 21. The class offers to “Bring mind, body and spirit together.”
The class is one hour long and begins at 6:00 p.m on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Next week however, the schedule has been changed to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at the same times.
It is taught by yoga guru and northwestern biology professor Dr. Venkata Moorthy. He has been at northwestern since 1995, and taught the yoga class previously on campus, but had to stop due to a scheduling conflict. He is back and in his 33rd year of practicing yoga, 32 of them teaching students as a yoga guru.
Yoga began several thousand years ago in India, and it means to control or unite as his brochure said. There are many different types of yoga, but Dr. Moorthy specializes in Hata yoga, where the fundamentals “connect body mind and spirit with breathing techniques following exercise to body parts and relaxation.” said Dr. Moorthy. “Breathing is the main thing. You will learn how to breath properly. Normal breathing will not let you take in enough oxygen. It's more important to breath. You pay attention to your deep breathing, which allows you to put your body mind and spirit together.”
When it comes to relaxation, hata yoga is what you are looking for. “Your brain is always working, when you focus on breathing, you will be able to concentrate on what you are doing, which will help you focus on body mind and spirit.” Dr. Moorthy said.
This exercise can also help burn fat, Dr. Moorthy said. “Most yoga position allow you to stretch, which will help your muscles. You will be able to digest your fat molecules, when you supply more oxygen to your muscles. It will take a long time, many months, but if you stick with it, it will work.”
Yoga is perceived to be a stretching exercise, but there is much more to it. Along with the health benefits, it can also help your memory, said Dr. Moorthy. “It also helps your memory, you lose your anger, and it helps your body calm down. When it makes you concentrate, that is how you calm down. Some people have a negative attitude all the time, this will help them have a positive.
It helps you have patience because the positions are so slow.”
Many people believe that it is an exercise whose students are women only. This is a false stereotype. Anyone who can benefit from the mental or physical exercise is welcome to come. “It's good for everybody, especially students. They are under stress and this is a stress relieving program. They have to cook for themselves, go to school, and earn money, they have to do everything for themselves, and they don't have their parents here anymore.”
So before we begin, an update... I have finally turned 21. This means I can legally buy alcohol and play live poker at regular non-indian reservation casinos. Goodbye horse tracks and hello vegas. I actually don't like live poker as much as playing online, but I will have to go to Vegas or Atlantic City sometime just because, well... I can now! lol
Poker-wise, I suffered from the cashout curse, and lost 8 buy-ins in a week. Completely standard ways (sets under sets, AA vs KK, AK on AKK vs AA etc... This caused me to play a little less aggressive because I knew that I was going to be beat. Then yesterday during my session I was had this feeling of wtf i'm so passive, and I started being aggressive again and started smashing the tables. So hopefully I'm going to get back on track and make some more money!
So thats the poker update, with the cashout I bought a new queen size bed. I have been sleeping on a twin size bed for my entire life, and sprawled out on my bed feels absolutely amazing! (and now it's a lot more comfortable when sleeping with someone, or fooling around with someone). That and it's officially the first thing I have bought with online poker winnings which is really cool.
Anyways enough with the boring stuff. Let's talk about auditory orgasmic music!
Group coaching session with DC coachesby ChrisKim47, February 20
So I saw this pretty cool offer where jk3a would play 5 other micro guys at 50nl. I obliged and weeeee. We started off playing 2 tables of 50nl, one 100bb deep and the other 250bb deep. I had three big hands, which were all reviewed at the end in a group teleconference, which was pretty fun. (we played on the homegame feature on Pokerstars, which did not work with HEM)
Hand 1 100bb, I squeeze on the button w AA vs utg open, and CO caller. UTG decided to 4bet me 2x and I flat. He bets out same size on flop QTx r, and I flat. Turn 9 , he check I jam, he snap w 99 gg
Hand 2 250bb, I open AQo co, micro reg 3b in bb, I flat. Flop 743hh, he bet 7/10, I flat. Turn 2, he bet 17/23 I flat. River comes 2 (flush missed), he overbet jams 96/56. I time down and eventually make the hero....
He haz ace and jack diamonded.
Hand 3 250bb, UTG open, I 3b BTN AKo, coach in SB cold 4b, I flat. Flop K75r , he bet 17/25 I flat. Turn Tss, he bet 37/57, I flat. River is 8sss, he shove 60/131, I call and get shown AA. It was the very last hand of the game, and thinking back on it, as played I think calling the turn is mandatory. But I think I can find a fold on the river. Either that or just fold pre.
We all had a fun time laughing about the home game. Will update when the next one is setup in a few weeks.
I started ebaying using my dad's products(he sells video games and toys). The ebay store is making more money than his retail store after 2 months. I'm going to be grinding this for another month before I jump into poker again but feels great having a 2nd source of income. I tilt less at life now.
I just updated the most recent version of holdem manager. Every hand I play is saved through the auto import folders and it comes up in my session stat displays. However, the HUD stats that appear on the site have disappeared. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
