Working out + dieting is going well (down 8 lbs in 15 days)
Working @ work is pretty awesome (hitting bonus')
Working @ my own business is going well (business plan almost completed)

Doing work this weekend in Eau Claire @ Pickefest

Doors open at 9am
keg + breakfast at my friends house until then.

I just hope I don't pass out at the bar... It will be a true test (plus a -50 dollar get drunk penalty) of my determination.

Scariest part is 90% of the matches are like this, INCLUDING the ones I win (except that the ones I won I get sucked out 5 times and chip up without showdown until I finally hold a 70/30).

Some nice ones that happened today too, I could post these all day:

I just learned that you can set 3-key combos to open any windows shortcut (ctrl + shift/alt + 'x', 'y', 'Z', etc....) by right-clicking each and going into its properties.

For instance....Crtl + Shft + 'P' for Pokerstars, 'H' for HEM, 'I' for i-tunes, 'M' for My Documents, and so on.

It's only supposed to work for shortcuts located on your desktop but this seems to also include programs w/in the start menu. For such a basic feature it goes a long way in making things more efficient.
If you know of any other tips or software suggestions, please share.

Hi everyone.So I get this 300$ bonus from FTP which I have to clear for the next 15 days, making total of 5000FPP.I wanted to know which would be the best way to get my full bonus(i.e5000FPP), having in mind that i'm not willing to play even medium stakes where, obv you can collect FPP very fast, but no mening in risking 100$ for getting 300$ especially when you are not sure of youself, so - what do you think is reasonale limit, time per day, # of tables for clearing this bonus without risking too much money?

Sittin on about 39k VPPS, goin for supernova. Highest VPP's I have ever gotten in 1 month is about 8k. Need roughly 15k per month including this month. Shouldnt be that bad, I plan on grinding PLO. Will most likely 12 table 50 PLO and then put in some big sessions of 16 tabling .5/1 50bb PLO purely for VPP's. Ill keep this updated to motivate myself.

Total bonuses over the next 3 months will be worth about $3100

Been thinking about taking students, purely based on profit sharing and it will be a very high % (not sure what yet). Thinking about a few key things, mainly I want the students who apply to be able to move to Sydney, which will help you learn and also help me keep you honest about winnings.

leave a comment to express interest, post ur stakes and ptr links and anything else relevant.

Windows Movie Maker is a video creating/editing software, included in Microsoft Windows Me, XP, and Vista. It contains features such as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, timeline narration, and Auto Movie.
