Starred in a Sushi Commercial - Vote please?by exalted, November 03
Girlfriend and I made a commercial for a contest by this Sushi restaurant chain in Taiwan called Sushi Express. In order to make the top 20, we need votes and so I come to you.
It's only 30 seconds and is pretty funny so do check it out:
Prop 19 loses but we aren't giving upby k2o4, November 03
Prop 19 may have lost, but I intend to keep fighting for the end of Marijuana Prohibition and I look forward to putting it on the ballot here in CO in 2012. I think we can end the prohibition here in our state, especially during a presidential election. Don’t despair, don’t give up, don’t think all is lost. This is just the early stages of what history will talk about as the movement that freed Americans from 75 years of lies and manipulation and finally ended the prohibition on marijuana.
And how does the federal government respond to this news? By continuing to lie to the American people.
Obama's Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske: “Today, Californians recognized that legalizing marijuana will not make our citizens healthier, solve California’s budget crisis, or reduce drug related violence in Mexico,” read the statement. “The Obama administration has been clear in its opposition to marijuana legalization because research shows that marijuana use is associated with voluntary treatment admissions for addiction, fatal drugged driving accidents, mental illness and emergency room admissions.”
They only put out a 2 sentence statement and managed to fill it with 6 different lies. If I wasn't so disgusted I would be impressed.
The main thing I've learned over these last few months is that our government is much more broken than I ever realized. The fact that such a positive movement aimed at bringing such a good, useful product back into the hands of Americans, has been so thoroughly demonized by our government speaks volumes to how truly fucked up our government is. I'm also extremely disappointed in Obama and all the other politicians who didn't have the guts to stand up for what's right. The fact that the democratic party came out against Prop 19 in California has killed a lot of my support for the dems. Last presidential election I worked my ass off to get Obama elected. Right now I don't foresee spending any of my time campaigning for him in 2012 - I'll be using that time to get Marijuana Legalization on the ballot here in CO where I think we have a great chance to be the first state to end this prohibition.
The exit polls show that American's aren't happy with either party and I'm right there in that group of disgruntled, disappointed, and disillusioned citizens. I'd love to see some new parties and candidates as options in upcoming elections. As that isn't very likely to happen anytime soon, what I would like to see is a primary challenge against Obama. I still like the guy overall and think he's done a better job than McCain would have done, but one of my top reasons for electing him was my belief that he was capable of logically examining issues and coming to rational conclusions that help the people. Specifically in regard to Marijuana he has failed in that arena, which makes me doubt whether I should trust him to come to good decisions on other key areas. And while I do approve of much of his progress, I feel he hasn't done enough. I feel that he and the democrats just flat out suck at getting things done, and if that's all they can achieve with 2 years of a super majority and huge momentum going out of the last election, then I don't have any faith that they can achieve the changes we need in this country to get things back on track.
I think I wanna start the Cannabis Party - the party of common sense.
For those of you who, like me, were hoping prop 19 would pass - don't give up. We'll get marijuana legalized soon enough. Right now polls show that almost 50% of the USA supports legalizing Marijuana, and that support has steadily grown over the last 40 years when it was only 12% who supported legalization. Times are changing, stoners of the 70's are now the 50 and 60 year olds, and thanks to the internet the facts about marijuana are finally able to spread and the information bout weed is no longer dominated by government propaganda. This wasn't the year it happened but it will be soon and you will all be around to see it.

So not that I take poker very seriously, since I'm in grad school and just am playing like one or two HU SnGs every now and then, but today I decided to opt-in to SharkScope so I can see all my stuff. And this is what I see.
So moral of the story is that HU SnGs are much more profitable than double or nothings, and people are bad at every form of poker imaginable in these microstakes SnGs. Bet that was new insight for everyone.
Okay sorry that was wasteful but this homework is so freakin' hard and I felt like procrastinating.
I would like to ask where i can find the article/films about Mid Stack Strategy. I am the new one and i would like find out sth about that (i mean the table 20-50BB on the PokerStars SH) ^^
videos on the paid website aren't the good idea because i have very low BR
Made this blog a while ago so might as well update it. Was playing live for a while, was doing good, went to the casino drunk as fuck @ 2 am one day, and donked off most of my winnings at 2/5 before gettin escorted outside by security. Was broke for a while. Had some extra cash, deposited 200 @ stars, 12 tabled nl10 6 max, went up, then straight tilted down till i had about 60 bux left in my acc. I kno i can beat it, i just try and get too fancy for nl10, and seems like i cant lay down a hand when i kno other has a fkin set.
Anyways, split the 60 between two nl50 hu tables, ran it up to around 1200. 2 days later tilt donked it all down to 0 at nl100 HU LOL. Ran like 6 buyins bellow EV which resulted in tilt = busto.
Will deposit again as soon as i have some extra cash and take another run at it.
I kno it wont happen , but if anyone wants to short term stake me for nl50HU let me kno. I can show graphs ect. You tell me terms, i just wana play.
ADIOSS
After breaking even in October and grinded A LOT .. well A LOT for me I guess.. to hit Supernova, its time to relax!
I'll start at 6$ 6max and 6$ up to 45mans, play 100 or 200 games then 13$, same thing, 25$, 38$.. dunno if Ill go any higher, 60$ seems bit too high for current bankroll, but maybe I'll just go and run well on 6-38$ sngs and then hit the 60$s in dec.!
I wanna hit top10 of sng leaderboards at least once or twice, maybe every week on some limit? for the battle of the planets 50k$.. Should be doable
Lets see how I run, I will update my blog more frequently from now on, probably a summarized week post every sunday!
Haven't posted here in a few months ... basically moved in with one of the biggest winners at 5/10 - 25/50 PLO on Pokerstars a few months ago and have been doing really well since then. Pretty comfortable at 1/2 - 3/6 now.

Also saw this last night at Hardfest and must say after 8 ecstacy pills and being up front getting blasted in the face by 10 foot subwoofers was one of the best times of my life ever:
Hey guys. Im really trying to open up my game a lot lately since Ive been starting tables a lot. Its going well and Im enjoying the challenge. For now Im still working a lot of my HU game but next Im going to be working on my SH game. I need your help again LP! What are some great 6 max videos for starters? Id say with game selection I can probably beat 25nl 6 max so something around the 25nl - 50nl range would be a great help to me. I have accounts on all the big training sites. Lemme know guys
First off end of last month I decided to get involved in a staking site, and got staked to continue my 3 dollar sngs. Really only doing this to build some credibility on the site and hopefully get some MTT backing. That being said I've done alright, ran pretty bad, but its 3 dollar 90 mans so I'm still up.
Funny story, I saw someone who was down 8k in 3 dollar sngs...didn't think that was possible..
Anyways, for November I have alot I'd like to get accomplished.
I'm starting a new job this week, and need to get on a normal human schedule....which shouldnt be that hard given I'll have to work every day at 8:30 am. Hopefully things brings a healthy change to my life. I've definitely been eating better of late which is good. I definitely need to start exercising more.
I've looked into a few running routines that I should be able to knock out rather quickly on a daily basis, so ill be starting there. Hopefully this new job means more extra money and I can invest in a gym membership. I love lifting and miss it alot. I think exercising will also help me sleep, as it seems my problem is after 8 hours of sleep, I want to be awake for more than 16 hours, which really messing things up.
As far as poker, I'm just going to keep getting it in good, triple this staking thing, start a new one involving either 6 dollar 90 mans or a splash of 6s and small MTTS.
Had a lot of family come visit, so didn't get to play as much as I would have liked. Overall, not a bad month though. Up a bit over $7k after euro to dollar conversion in cash, with RB and live games, a bit over $10k total. Main goal for the end of the year is to hit the next milestone bonus (74k VPPs away). Here's a picture:
I've been trying to get staked longterm lately with no luck. I always kind of thought that with my stats there would be a line of people waiting to stake me for $10 to $20 mtt's. It seems its a lot harder to get a stake than I thought.
I probably wont be seeking a stake for a while since I get 11th in the $22 double deuce on FTP yesterday. I played really good the whole tournament and last 2 coinflips when there was 2 tables and it just wasnt meant to be. I hate that a couple of coinflips can dramatically change the course of my poker career. Had I won those two I would have been able to cash for 14k at the least instead of the 1.6k I actually got. I still have to grind low stakes mtt's instead of returning to the midstakes, but I now have a comfortable BR and should be able to make decent money again.
Hey guys, I'm going to try to update my blog regularly...I've been pretty unproductively lately and hopefully this will make me more accountable.
Heres a list of some of the things I want to achieve this month
Fitness
I came back from Vegas starting to look pretty tubby and with terrible flexibilty, cardio and muscular endurance but decent strength (lifts were about 95% of what I'm doing now but weighing 5-10lb heavier. I got back to eating 5-6 small meals (high protein, moderate carbs, low fat), started doing a bunch of cardio (swimming, tennis, badminton, running and football) and tried to make progress in the gym.
My bodyfat and bodyweight decreased but my strength was on the rise, and my cardio was starting to get decent. Unfortunately just over a month into my new regime (mid August) I got quite ill and basically had a week of not eating or exercising and thus lost about 3-3.5kg (7lb). Obviously my bodyfat was reduced and arguably I looked better, but I did lose a lot of strength. I slowly increased my calories from the diet I had been on and have now slowly moved into a relatively clean bulk, but have been neglecting my cardio a bit in the last week or 2 (especially this week as I've had to rest my calf after a slight injury).
currently at 80.5kg (177 pounds)first thing in the morningat about 5 foot 8. Bodyfat is prob about 13-15% if I had to guess. I basically plan to add some strength and size over the next 2 months or so, whilst trying not too add too much bodyfat/lose my cardio too much, and then get down to 10-12% bodyfat while keeping as much of that gain as possible and then work pretty hard on my cardio etc
Generally looking to add 2-5% to all my lifts this month (started taking a creatine product for the first time in a few years will see how that goes. I've been adding in a couple of new exercises where I'm starting pretty small, so I'll be kaizening those up.
I'd like to be doing some form of cardio at least 4 days a week, I had built up a decent base and it would be a shame to lose it, and I really need to get into the habit of stretching everyday as my flexibility is still awful...I don't want to be all show and no go.
Poker
I've been clicking buttons at times lately, my passion for the game is not close to what it was a few years ago, but the reality is I'm in a super fortunate position of being able to work my own hours, be my own boss and play a game for a living.
I'm really unsure as to what I want to be doing in a few years time so I do need to keep thinking and preparing myself for down the line, but as soon as I decide to try harder or run good then of course its easy to just ignore everything and just grind.
I definately don't want to look back in 5 years and have not experienced lots of cool things and grown as a person and I suppose I have been conditioned to think that the only way I can do well in poker is when it is my only priority - which is clearly not the case. I'm going to make an effort to study the game more, get on new sites, watch videos, sort out a hud...track my hands lol. I've been really lazy lately, If I start trying to really improve my game then I'm going to enjoy the experience a lot more, and if I don't then I'll know that I need to do something else.
Be more productive
I aim to waste less time doing things such as browsing the internet, If i'm waiting for games I can be looking at books, listening to music/radio.
I also spend way too long sleeping/in bed, so I'm going to make sure that I'm up after 9 hours no matter what.
Another thing I think is terrible and aim to get rid of altogether is masturbating first thing in the morning, spilling your seed first thing is really not conducive to a fruitful day.
I plan on getting a newspaper subscription and I aim to do at least 30minutes a day of reading some sort of other non fiction...I really enjoy reading but I find it hard to actually open the book unless there is literally nothing else to do.
Social
Continue to keep in touch with those I care about, I try to say yes to things at every opportunity but I also need to take the initiative myself.
A big part of life is sharing experiences, and having good social skills and being open to embracing new things is certainly something worth working at.
As a poker player its easy to spend a lot of time isolated. Living with other players helps of course, but its important to have 'normal' friends too so as to not be too get too enveloped in the poker world. I plan to do some serious travelling in the next few months, most of my time about over the past few years has been going to EPTs etc, which often means very little exploring.
I had no idea this was going to be so long...I'm going to post up my workouts as I go and hopefully that's helpful.
