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.

Just got black card and ironman and I've decided to the take rest of the month off because I've got papers and schoolaments.

$2370 Profit
$662 Rakeback
$3032 total

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

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.

Thanks again,
Tanque

I'm running SO BAD, but I guess thats part of poker XD

And my QQ/KK got owned...My tptk got owned... everything got owned XD

I won't blame 100% on luck though since I know that some plays were either just bad/tilt

Gotta go back down and grind it back up again.

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!

250ish...looking for a change back to UB where I actually made money

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?

Okay this is a Comp Sci 1 class and we work mostly with Java. One of the assignments which I am posting below calculated the perimeter and area of a triangle. But now I need to use a dialog box for input and a dialog box for output. So yah I need to use javax.swing.JOptionPane and a string tokenizer. The output needs to be in decimal format as well with one dialog box for the sides of the triangle, perimter, and area. If anyone can guide me through this I would appreciate it. Thanks Chris.

// Interactive Triangle Program
// This program asks the user to input three real numbers
// which are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and
// calculates the perimeter and area of the triangle and
// prints the results
// Christopher
// Java 1.5, Windows XP

import java.util. * ;

public class InteractiveTriangle
{
static Scanner console = new Scanner (System.in) ;

public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception
{ double num1, num2, num3 ; // input values for sides of the triangle
double sum, s, area;
// Explain the program to the user
System.out.println ("This program finds the sum of the sides of a triangle") ;

// Input the three numbers
System.out.println ("Input your first side.") ;
num1 = console.nextDouble () ;

System.out.println ("Input your second side.") ;
num2 = console.nextDouble () ;

System.out.println ("Input your third side.") ;
num3 = console.nextDouble () ;

// Determine the perimter of triangle
sum = (num1 + num2 + num3) ;
s=sum/2;

// Determine the area of triangle
area = Math.sqrt (s * (s - num1) * (s - num2) * (s - num3)) ;

// Output the results
System.out.print (" The side of the trangle are " + num1) ;
System.out.println (" and " + num2 +" and " + num3 + " nThe perimeter is " + sum) ;
System.out.print (" The area of the triangle is " + area) ;
}
}

Hey, I've run a bunch of stakes in the past with no problems. All of them are documented in past blog entries, just check them out if you have questions about my trustworthiness. I've won a $109 6-max tournament on FTP for 7k a while ago. I have a lot of tournament experience and just took a couple days off since my girlfriend came to visit so I'm ready to grind all day tomorrow. Heres the deal.

$256 Buy In
5% = $12.80
25% = $64

5% minimum per person. The most I'm willing to sell is 70%, the minimum I need to sell to play is 50%. Post a reply to this thread and send the money to TheRelapse @ FTP. The first 70% I receive will be confirmed before the start of the tournament and the rest will be sent back. Thanks.

Stats are on OPR and sharkscope under "therelapse".

1st Break: 7,818
Out in 4054th

25/20 player raised, 45/10 player called and I reraise from SB with AK. 45/10 player time bank calls, flop 356 rainbow. I cbet, he time bank calls and I give up.

After that I had 5k or so chips at 50/100 level. I open from button with Ad10c and get 3 bet by LAG player and I call. Flop 39Q 3 diamonds. He bets 2/3 pot and I call. He checks turn which is a brick and I shove slightly more than pot and he calls with AQ, river bricks, gg.

Sorry guys. No knockouts either.

Nothing like going down three buyins, coming back, going down three and a half buyins, and coming back four and ending up running only 10 bb away from EV in under 450 hands.

so couple friends and i want to invest in the stock market, and we're planning to invest about 1500 dollars. So i was wondering if there was anyone here who knows about stock market, to give some advice as to what stocks are good, or what to look for when investing, it would be a lot of help. Thanks ^^

Pretty sure I am not alone with this problem. As of today FTP client keeps freezing, then after around 3-4 minutes it unfreezes and majority of players are sitting out or something. Super annoying. Annoying thing is, system status says everything is working good.

Shame, today I was looking forward to putting in alot of volume.

Running win7. Just did a system scan, and is all clean. Something buggy in the client I can only assume.
