ordered a new computer wich should be arriving tomorrow, its a solid i7 950, gtx 470 1,28gig gfcard, 12gig ram, 2TB hd, 80gig SSD disk etc etc, gonna be nice since the one i got now is laggins shit playing sc2 in lategame, and i had alot of problems lately with crashing and stuff.
as for poker i made a couple of volumebets w some people (can find about that blogpost a couple blogs down) but basically 35k hands minimum betting 500$ w barbieman
now with 1 week left to go im gonna take rest of the month off focusing more on SC2 and just chilling, well i prolly will put in some more hands but not to much. havent been able to play SC2 in 2 weeks due to computer crashing all the time, so will have to play a shitton to get up to "the top" again, atleast on the ladder.
Also will pracc alot w my team wich sponsors me w a boost of 150€/month (yeeey) wich is pretty neat, we have a strong tight lineup so gonna have to bring some extra activity due to 2 weeks of all poker
u can visit my team myRev @ http://www.myrevenge.net/ : ) not much exciting there but yea i have alot of high hopes for us
and finnaly more to poker, ive had the best (i think?) pokermonth so far in my life, atleast pretty close to my best one, and ive played over 110 hours and OVER 50k hands wich surpassed my goal of 35k hands. so im pretty proud of myself have been grinding it out more then ive done in a month for like 4-5 months or something.
ive only been playing 1/2$-3/6$ this month (no 5/10+ cuz it fucked me over hardcore in december), mostly on this swedish site but also last couple of days ive finally got some of my roll over on Ongame with eurosuperpoker which just merged with ongame (ongame is growing alot).
and there is running a shit ton of games there so thats nice, catched a sick good heatersession this morning on ongame as u can tell from that graph so ye i feel good about it. will put down alot more volume on ongame later, since there is like running 40+ games above 200NL, compared to the swedish site im playin most of my hands at run like 6-10 games above 1/2 at best, and u need to sit there for hours trying to get more games started wich is a pain in the ass since every fucking reg on the planet instasitsout when its 3/2handed and no one will join if u sit and wait at a table..
21,000$ in the green this month! nice recovery after losing alot in december i feel i start to get a hang on 2/4 atleast for reals now as i have put down alot of volume there now in the last 6 months.
i keep failing at 5/10 but ill get there hopefully
also check out the blogpost under this one for some nice music!
gonna smoke a shitton of weed this week to "celebrate" results + putting down some volume again finally, havent smoked whole month just to keep some grind motivation
speaking of! to mixx up some from my last blogpost, something nice to listen to while stoned:
btw when guitar comes in, really reminds me of donkeykong country 1 and 2 for supernintendo? any1?
Celtics game tonight & Black Card Statusby RAINISM, January 25
Going to the Celtics game tonight against the Cavs. Ya the Cavs are horribad but the tickets were only $20 thanks to my college. If I keep running hot in poker I'll treat myself to some sick seats when the Clippers come to town. <3 Blake Griffin
So for those who got Black Card on FullTilt, how long did it take you guys to get it? I'm at 160 FTP 100-day rolling right now but been getting like 700-1000 FTPs a day for the last few weeks. Hope to get it in like a month and a half. All I really want is that sick fitted hat from the store lol.
Thinking about planning a trip to Cancun for spring break. Anyone know of any good vacation deals? I think I saw a all-inclusive 5-day package for like $450.
Well Poker seems to be more and more attactive for me again lately since the site isnt going nowhere anyway. People are so sick and tired of classifieds and that type of thing and since ive been so out of the loop it was first and last error - which further drove my obssession to make it work by spending more money on it lol. I might go for the retarded route and grind vpps (not even sure if that'll give me profits). Going to start tomorrow with it and try to maintain supernova if i can. 7kvpps is tough when u play 50nl fr.
Anyway a 2p2 midstakes solid winning FR reg msged me on skype that he wanted to move to the Philippines with his GF whos apparently a Filipina born in the U.S., they plan to stay here and study and needed a local to keep them safe and show them the ropes here in the city where i live, he wants to pay for my services but im willing to take live coaching sessions instead, i hope it pans out.
So good luck to me and this time im taking a break from website bs for now and not going back until I have some really solid plan and idea before trying it out, learned the ins and outs of the whole trade but was just cash strapped to make any sort of additional changes.
Before you make a website about anything I haves ome tips:
-Idea should be unique, or at least target a specific demographic, anything very broad and vague without a solid base of registered users is rarely ever going to take off
-Site should be coded well and should be very SEO - friendly, I mean if you can't be seen, how the hell can they know they like your site
-Spend money on the site platform, don't use wordpress, smf, mambo or other free shit that's out there, No one will ever take it seriously, no matter what your content is, people take a look and just feel its made of some free crap, without coding theres nothing much out there for you to use on those free platforms anyway, if you plan on making it profitable spend. gone are the days where u get "lucky"
-content is king, if content is just copy/pasted stuff all over the net, people will know it.
Not only my best SNG session ever, I'm pretty sure I just set the world record for most HUsngs in one day. Was 12 tabling at some point, maybe 13. First day of serious SNE grind, good for ~6.5k VPPs.

anyone have a promo code so i can buy it cheaper than $90? i know some video subscriptions give out a discount someone who already has hem may not have used.
I ordered a monitor from the FTP store today. The site told me to expect 6-8 weeks, but from your experience how long does it take for the item to arrive?
Thanks!
(here are some breasts to express my gratitude) + Show Spoiler +
And yea, I know that sounds harsh and it's probably not true but I really got annoyed with people a few days ago. I have this "buddy" whom I've known for a very long time and been somewhat close too. He's never been the kind of guy I've trusted with important emotional shit really, but still someone I'd hung out with more then almost anyone else for a lot of years. I was ranting to him about how I considered one of the girls he knows a piece of crap for apparently having cheated on some guy and stated that I found it appalling how his other friend always made jokes about cheating on people in a way I considered more then a little bit offensive. I've got nothing against sexual promiscuously at all (fuck, my favourite book is "Stranger in a Strange Land"), and I don't mind people joking about pretty much anything unless the situation calls for some class, but cheating on people just plain sucks.
Instead of the usual nod and "yea yea, that sucks man" I assumed I'd get as a reply he says something about how her bf apparently wasn't used to being in relationships and didn't really put up enough of an effort in some areas and then he goes quiet. I decided to shut up since I did recognize that it was probably in poor taste to question someone's friend's moral character without knowing all the facts.
At a party for my buddy a few days later some girls are joking about how they all slept with him and someone makes a "funny remark" about how he's so weird and why did they sleep with him. One of them says that "yea well, back in blablabla I used to love him a little bit". I'm slightly intoxicated but something feels weird. Then it dawns on me that he had a long time gf at the time, so I joke right back about that. I still don't really know if I believe it but three people, two girls he's slept with and his own brother, stated more or less that he did cheat on this girl. I never really got to know her, and as far as I can remember I thought fairly poorly about her, but it still just sucks.
I guess I should just leave it alone, because I don't care enough about him to actually feel that it's super important that he knows when I don't approve of shit, and in a month or 6 weeks I won't spend as much time with him any more for various reasons I can't do much about. I've done a lot of less then honourable things. I once slept with a fat chick and jumped out of her window while she was sleeping. At one point I kept sleeping with some girl just because "she'll leave the country soon, so I don't have to worry about it". I'm fairly sure I hurt one girl, even though I for the life of me can not figure out how (she was from another country and I think it was a cultural thing). But as far as relationships goes I've never hurt someone other then by mistake. And during the sorts spans when I've been in relationships, I've never cheated.
But on the other hand there's a lot of beautiful things in the world. I guess I should focus on that.
prob in general a super boring read. wrote it half drunk. you have been warned. + Show Spoiler +
a few days ago one of my friends called me and asked if i wanted to go watch a magic game. i checked the schedule and it was against the 76ers but had nothing better to do so i said yes and picked him up. we scalped some shitty tickets for 10 bucks a piece after bargaining hard with this black guy. he tried to sell it to us for 100 at the beginning and we just laughed and left. they were nose bleed tickets worth like 5 dollars :<
i didn't know but my friend had a plan the entire time. so another random friend worked at the amway center and basically gave us CLUB access passes. it's basically like the 4th lvl but super exclusive. u can actually only get there through elevator. anyway we go and i am slightly giddy at this point and got to watch teh game there. there were these booths with food and alcohol and total luxury furniture and what not. i was impressed. a whole lvl of these booths. i asked how much these were and my friend told me it costs 30k to reserve it annually. there was one suite reserved for the orlando hospital here, specifically the surgeons. anyway there was also a bar which was cool, and had alot of really gorgeous people. me and my friend spent like 20 bucks here on drinks each and then the friend who got us in the club floor on the first place re upgraded and got us into a suite, where drinks were free. we just had to tip the bartenders. easily one of the best nights i had.
anyway the game kinda sucked as the magic under achieved for the 10000000000 time. also its amazing how much more detail and how many more things you can pick up on when watching live. anyway richardson shot a 3 and got fouled made a clutch free throw to help the magic get into overtime. we ended up winning and this was the first overtime win in the amway center. which once again was quite cool. 1/4 of the fans left too with liek 2 minutes remaining. but yeh. it was great.
i had a bunch of semi interesting conversation/thoughts about the magic/basketball in general. the 76ers are a retartedly athletic. no seriously. when you're able to watch a game live it is amazing at how much more detail you can pick up. it's like tehy have no system, no identity, no knowledge of basketball strategy. but it's like tehy are so god dman athletic. like they were just dominating every sport until college and thought "herm i could make a lot of money playing basketball and not have to get hit like i do in football."
dwight's such a bitch. i love him off the court and love his personality but god dammit he is easily my least favorite player on the team. he mentally checks out so often, easily gets frustrated (when the 76ers hard fouled him the entire game) and he just went on tilt. but he does this all the time. instead he bitches and complains and wants to learn to score more. i mean i understand scoring is flashy and u get attention for that. but jesus christ if he just worked on his defense, his natural strengths i would have been so much happier. u wanna work on offense? how bout you make 70% of your fucking free throwS? taht's fucking instant offense right there. and what a total different mindset man. these guys. these guys born as athletic monsters. total different mind set. so many of the professional athletes feel so entitled. and make ridiculous demands. coaches and gm's have to nearly beg their super stars to cooperate sometimes. jesus christ phil jackson deserves so much more credit to have been able to put up with kobe for this long. but seriously, stars like dwight and shaq can just say "oh i can never make more than 55-60% of my free throws w/e go live with it." but look at yao ming. i mean yea this isn't scientific or anything but that guy shoots close to 90%. i mean yea maybe he's "naturally" a better shooter, but to get to 90%? free throws? that's like pure practice and muscle memory. and a different attitude as well.
it's ironic i was making jokes with my friend about how it must be the worst ever to play on the phoenix suns. if you're a semi talented all star or a gifted rookie. like that team is going no where. grant hill and nash try so hard every game. what a facking guilt trip. seriously i don't know how the hell they do it, but it made me appreciate a guy like nash. a different lvl of professionalism. i hope the fans appreciate that kind of effort.
it also made me appreciate the spurs. good coaching staff. a good work ethic in every player. and every player is smart and understands that team work is the only way they can be competitive. but they are ripping through teams right now with taht kind of team work. (celtics too but go fuck them)
anyway this also made me appreciate kobe as well. a guy who took his game as high as he could. and didn't settle for anything less. reminds me of a guy like durant. who actually wants to be one of basketball's greatest. i suppose it's really refreshing. cause that whole 76ers team i swear to god. they are all made. and they couldn't give a shit (not that they should or that it's any of my business. every man should be able to lead his own life) but tehy couldn't care less about getting better. about elevating their game. they are all getting paid, and getting fucking laid every facking nihgt. so who the hell cares? also to foil durant, i'm just going to bring a name like tyreke evans. who is a sick player but that guy is just so talented and can do so much already (much like durant) but i doubt he will ever elevate his game and put in the hours of practice. he seems like a pretty scummy guy and is like free-rolling the rest of his life with the money he's making. (sorta like antoine walker that broke s.o.b)
thinking about all this retarded basketball stuff finally resonated with something inside of me. something about my own self. my current condition i guess.
i'm not really happy with where i am. i play poker and that provides me enough income to live but man am i coasting. like literally living day to day. i might not be the best player nor am i close, but i am or used to be a really competent one. last year i had over 150 hours put in after i put in all the due time where i had to learn poker, where i avged $70/hr but this year i can't seem to be making much at all. but the lvl of confidence is totally different. the mindset and confidence is absolutely shattered. i'm 2nd guessing every standard spot. but it's not even about the poker really. it's about how i'm not happy with where i am. i don't feel very accomplished and maybe if i was able to make more money with poker things would be different. i've made just over 20k lifetime and that my friend is truly pathetic for nearly 1.5 years of work if you're looking at it from a true monetary standpoint. i dont blame poker for any of my short commings. actually poker taught me alot of valuable lessons as well as skills. but i look at myself and i wonder how many other talentless grinders there are and how delusional we all are. i was a fool for trying to skip real life and trying to go through some short cut. but man poker is hard. or maybe im a retard. but i think it's hard.
but it's so tough to quit poker. especially if you were a winner at one point. and it's worse because i know i can just stop playing retarded and win money. instead of this retarded cycle of winning money and then trying hyper aggro moves that have little chance of success only successfully makes way for the cycle to repeat itself. really you can just nut peddle or something close to it and win money. or you can even short stack ffs. i wish it was more difficult. like it's like purgatory right now. i know i can make solid money playing poker atm. but i wish this weren't the case. i wish i could watch some of lp's studs like tt, fayth, nolan, loco, baal, hero play. not to even learn or get free coaching. but i want an ephiphany. an a-ha moment. where i think "yea i could never do that. yea i could never think like that. yea i would never have the balls to bluff or bluff catch there." so i could happily leave poker and never look back. but instead i have the notion that i can win (which i maintain).
poker was awesome it really was. provided me with like easily 1k pocket change every month through my last year and a half of college. got to eat out every day and buy rounds of drinks for all my friends. i'm probably going to buy my mom and dad something nice. maybe a set of 5k watches or something. because they worked so hard and have been living the grind for so long. so their pos son can have a decent chance at a better life. not even a decent chance they did everyhting where supposed to. so a great fucking chance really. except i had to mess things up by being an ungrateful little shit.
i'm not sure what i will do this year. i'm sure i will keep playing poker. but i'm definitely goign to look for further education though. get a retarded masters in business, finance, or management or something. poker part time was the facking nuts. i guess i just want to try and get a platform with a masters so i can move into a decent job market. i don't really have strong preferences so i don't really mind most jobs. but i do enjoy my leisure time. and i do want to make something of myself. even if it's mostly for my parents. cause they really do deserve better. all throughout my life thing's have never gone like WELL for me. like i mean to say i wasn't a very lucky guy. never got the girl i wanted. or the cool friends. or the winning raffle. and i've lived life pretty meekly and uninspiredley. the least i can do is make my parents happy though. they really deserve it. and i don't want it to sound like i feel some insurmountable pressure to please them. it's qutie a benevolent thought.
anyway not qutie sure what to make of everything. and am not going to proof read this so i will have no idea what image i put off either.
i imagine most will think i'm a luckbox with no more luck at the end of my poker career but at this point i don't really care. this site is truly a mix of a few respectable posters, a few moderate posters, and a bunch of retards (where i actually feel like i sorta belong but will try my best to move into the moderate poster group). i guess it's always tilting to get complete asinine and condescending hand comments sometimes. but i thought about it and wondered why i'm getting so upset. is there anything about them i want? or envy? are they winning? crushing their gameS? anyway don't take this last part the wrong way. it's just a small rant. i guess i deserve most of the comments anyway. as i'm bad at poker atm. but i suppose every poker player wants to be validated somewhat, somehow. although at this point i'm just gonna try and win the most amount of money and see if that works.
Haven't posted a blog in quite a long time... actually I haven't really commited to poker for a while now. The break was good though. Got to focus on school and whatnot. Anywho, all I played was NL25 FR and SH.
Back to back winning days at the micro MTT's. I can't be sure about this, but I would say these multi entry MTT's on FTP cut down on variance big time. Made my third final table in the last 2 days with another 5th or 6th place finish(can't remember) to go with a 5th and a 6th from yesterday.
Double guarantee weeks starts tomorrow so that should be good. I heard every tourny will be multi entry, although that may have been a joke/rumor.
I was down to 60 chips in the 1000FTP black card Satty to 750k with K7 in the big blind and ended up winning a seat. That was pretty sick. These satties are so deceiving, I was in 11th out of 40 with the top 36 getting a seat, and thought I could easily fold my way to a seat. It ended up working but I was 35th out of 36 when the tourny ended. This may have just been due to the fact that some guy went all in every hand with like 200BB when everyone else had 2-6 BB.
Not sure if they changed this or it only applies to the blackcard sattelites or something. I have to play in the 750k? I can't sell it for tourny dollars. Ive won a bunch of these and was never given a ticket, I was always automatically registered, and then I could unregister for T$.
Thanks for reading, let me know if this post was boring and what I could do to make it better.
I have a friend that is getting into poker. He already deposited without talking to me so he just has a deposit bonus and no rb. What effective rb % is he getting right now (with just the bonus)? Just curious as to how much he's potentially missing out on.
Does anybody know what % affiliates actually receive? I think it's somewhere around 33% but it could be a little/much higher. All I know is I'm only getting the flat 27% and feel unsatisfied about it (but am pretty much committed due to 12+ Iron Man months).
I heard that he can apply for cashback from FTP so I had him send an email asking, but any information about other options would be good too.
Ladies and gentlemen! Update: vpps are at 169K...pace is 220K...still 50K behind. Here is the current situation: To win prop bet, I have to get 14,555 vpps per day everyday from here till end of the month.
That will take 13-14 hours a day. Still possible, but it's gonna be very, very hard. Made ~1.6K yesterday, total profit at tables for the year is ridic and chilling at +$500.
That's it! Gotta run and get this started. Happy Sunday!

Need a roommate in Atlantaby ChrisKim47, January 23
Was looking at a 2 br apt, at howell mill/collier intersection (exit 250). Going for 500 per person and trying to move in March-April. Just thought I'd see if a poker player was interested.
