Ok so I just satellited into the 750k guar. on Full Tilt for tomorrow night.
Was just wondering is there a way to sell the tourney ticket like on Stars?
I just started playing on Full Tilt this month, and I guess I just assumed this was an option like on Stars. but I don't see it, anyone?

Alright so many of you know I have had quite a rocky history when it comes to poker. I have had many ups and far more downs. About 1.5 years ago I kind of emerged from the rock bottom state. At that point in time I started reading tons doing meditation etc. After about 6 months I finally thought I was strong enough to give poker another try. I quickly discovered that the game had changed majorly. I no longer felt like I was the best player at 50 and 100nl like I used to. I ran really bad but never went broke. In fact I slowly grinded up a decent bankroll. Then I lost a 2k bodyfat loss bet with a friend and then my car died on me so I had to buy a new one. I was left with about 450$ online and felt so sick and depressed about it that I couldn't even log on to grind. Around this time I just started playing Starcraft 2 hardcore to get my mind off poker and eventually got to 10th in diamond.

I finally decided I definitely wasn't going to make any money off of starcraft 2. So I decided to make the commitment to really grind poker hard. I began playing 25nl rush and ran it up to 1200. Then I played 50nl rush and ran that up to 1650. Then about 3 days ago I won like 11 buyins at 50nl and decided to move up and take shots at 100nl. That went extremely well. I then moved up and took shots at 200nl rush and ran like jesus basically (although still under ev). Then I decided to take a shot at 400nl rush 2 tabling. Ran insanely good like 40bb/100 over like 3k hands.

When all was said and done I am now sitting on the biggest bankroll I have had in over 3 years. Im getting this ridiculously scared feeling now because I have been trapped in the micros for so long. Now that I have a very secure bankroll for 100 and 200nl I am beginning to wonder if I currently have the skill to beat these games for a decent winrate.

Back in 2005-2007 I used to crush 100-200nl so hard. But now those games play way way stronger than 5/10 and 10/20 used to at that time. My style of plays is good enough to win at 50nl for like 3-4bb100 without a doubt. And im sure I can beat 100nl. But 200nl and up im not so sure that I would be better than break even at this point in time.

I think its time to be brutally honest with myself. I am going to have to seriously work on my game and apply myself to get better and be able to move into the midstakes.

I am really interested in hiring a coach to help plug my many leaks. I would like the coach to be a huge winner at 100-400nl. I have never been coached before so I am not sure what to expect. A lot of people that I have spoken to seem to think its worth it. If anyone has any recommendations I am def interested.

So my HUD is having a fun issue. The players hud doesn't appear next to the actual player. When I move all the huds next to the proper player on one table it fucks up the hud locations on all my other tables. Anyone know how to fix this?

writing is hard but dealing with these psychopaths and principled sociopaths is fucking exhausting and more to the point i'm not allowed to say fuck. the games fucking suck. the fish are all gone because fish like to have fun and these games are not fun. you can have it. buy my books.

So weird. Lately I can barely muster up the spirit to log into any poker site. My stomach turns in knots, my heartbeat starts racing, i start gnawing on my finger nails. The whole thing is just one big miserable experience. It's not the result of any particularly bad sessions or bad beats or anything either, it's just the whole faceless aspect of it all. I just get personally offended when someone calls me with K8o or 92s and all I can see is this faceless icon + screename. I feel like theyre hiding from me or something. I dont know how to describe it, it just bothers me. When I play live I take all sorts of bad beats and it doesnt bother me that much at all for some reason. Maybe it's just because I'm already in a good mood from the social atmosphere, maybe it's because I'm usually enjoying a free meal + drinks on the house. I enjoy talking to people, listening to people joke around and be funny bastards with their table talk, etc etc. All I know is when I go to play live I go feeling pumped. When I sit at a microstakes table online I just feel miserable. Maybe it has something to do with the money or something. It's not that I'm underrolled or anything, but I think it's just rather a lack of meaningful results. It's a real chore to play for an hour to win 80 cents or 2 bucks or whatever. Poker already sucks the life out of me, both live and online. I'm feverishly focused on every hand, to the point of wearing myself out when I get home. I think this extreme stress with no real results just runs its toll on me. At least live I can book a few hundred dollars in a winning session and get that sense of accomplishment. Online it's just another "uhhhhhhg gaaaawwwwd back to the grind, and for what? Pennies? Christ". I feel like how a McDonald's employee probably feels, just "please kill me now" kind of feeling.

Think I'm gonna hang up online play for awhile. I wonder if this has anything to do with why so many online regs have become live regs in the end.

Hey, just wondering if anyone wanted to do a standard trade with play money and real money. I'm a reliable person, I can get a few other forum users on this website to verify my creditability if needed. Also LegendaryDreams from TL.net.

PM or reply in the thread if you're interested. Thanks in advance.

Heyoooooo long time no talk LP

Been busy with working while starting a new business - computer repair (gonna take down the geek squad one city at a time! rawr~~~~)

also I've been working on my music you need to hear section so that should be up in a day or two when I get the time for some better reviews of the music.

Anyways onto the weight loss prop bet.

I'm currently 6'0'' 225 lbs (god knows wtf % body fat, but I'm sure it's not a healthy amount)

My brother is 5'11'' 190 lbs (more fit than I am but still not where he wants to be in terms of % body fat.)

The challenge for me getting down to 160 in 6 months
The challenge for my brother is to get down to 10% body fat from where ever he currently is at in 6 months

Starting
--------
Sept. 1st

How it works
------------
Every month we put $200 bucks each into a slush fund
at the end of the 6 months there is a potential of up to $2400.00 for the winner.

However we break it down so it works like this
actual/goal = %

so lets say I lose 50lbs
so we have 50/60 = 83%
my brother on the other hand hits his 10% bf goal so he is at 100%
the difference is now 17%

therefore he gets his original $1200 back plus $204.00(17% of 1200) of my money.


I feel like I may have gotten the short end of the stick here but either way it will be a great motivational tool to get our asses back in shape.

extra incentive: every time we get drunk we add 100$ to the slush fund, however the drunk incentive is only a winner take all(no getting % back). So if we get drunk 6x that's an additional 1,200.00 up for grabs whoever comes out victorious.


Where you come in!
------------------
I've never really 'eaten clean' in my entire life. I was always in sports in high school so I stayed relatively in shape without much effort.

Now I'm out of school and don't really do much. I recently got a gym membership for this competition though so I'll be putting this to good use.

Anyways any tips or pointers in losing fat/weight would be much appreciated. I'll probably start a blog later as well and update it weekly with progress. Maybe even post pics and hopefully see a beastly transformation




Anyways I'm off to get fucking plastered before I can't drink any more for 6 months :3 Haven't really drank much over these past two months but shi... got to go out and get down before this life change.

I have a few general guidelines for how to live my life. I mostly make them up as I go, but if I've managed to find one I like I mostly keep to it. My latest is; “If you get superowned in grappling by some girl half your size, you should probably take whatever advice she gives”. Well I got superowned this morning, by a girl half my size (not really but still...) and afterwards she referred to me as “you're the guy who doesn't sleep, right?”. And yes, it was the girl from the most embarassing story I've ever posted...

Then she told me the following:

Sleeping is important, you should sleep 6-8 hours each night and it should be in one part not spaced out over a few quickies. It's also nice to sleep during the night rather then the day cause the brain likes to send out melatonin when it's dark and apparently that stuff kicks ass and does a lot of good shit for you.

I read up a little bit about it on wiki and apparently your levels of that crap might be lower if you have some kind of autism, which I may or may not have some light version of. I also feel that I should probably not try to get out of this by buying pills on the internet. First of all I don't like to mess with my brain to much (I get weird when I try fun stuff) and I try to be a blood donor which means that I'll have to state what kind of supplements and such I take every 3 months or so and it's really hard to remember stuff.

September feels like a good month to get on a regular sleeping pattern. I've got to much stuff to do with school, social stuff and other things to actually be able to put in any reasonable amount of hands anyway and it would be good to actually get decent grades on something during my time in law school. Thus I've decided that for September I will not play poker or otherwise be at the computer after 1am in the mornings except if I'm deep in some Sunday tournament or satellite which probably won't happen to often.

Last time I actually slept well was during June, but my sleeping schedule was fairly fucked up anyway. I basically woke up around 5pm, did some stuff during the evening/early afternoon, then I played poker until something like 4am and then I either went to BJJ at 6 in the morning or went to the gym/took a long walk only to get back to bed sometime around 8ish. I remember being annoyed with the sun and such but didn't think that it was such a problem. Come to think if it I didn't really feel that rested either, I don't think. Not to mention the horrors of actually trying to put the day right when I visited my parents and such.

So basically, instead of setting a bunch of goals concering how much I should play, how much I should work out or anything like that I'll set sleeping goals for september.

Wake up 8 am weekdays when I don't have BJJ in the morning and 4.40 when I have it.

Not playing poker after 1 am except on Sundays if I'm deepish in some tournament.

Get a minimum of 5 hours of sleep each day, preferably 7.

Cut down on Red bull and coffee. No coffee/energy drinks after 9 pm except for Sundays.

Oh, and for results this month, just check out the leaderboard over at Unibet
