Hey guys, I think I'll be going to APPT Sydney but unlike my other tournament stops in the past I'm looking to spend some more time there. Normally I'd just get a hotel or something but that might cost a bit if I stay longer than the tournament. The tourney is from the 5th to the 12th of December, and I'm looking to spend an extra week or so at least after that. So I know this is a long shot, but if there are any LPers from Sydney that live alone/is in a generally good living arrangement to allow for me to sleep over that would be fantastic.
I'm a stars reg at 2/4 and 3/6 and we could definitely talk poker and stuff. Likely I won't be at the place 24/7 since I'd like to go out and do stuff and meet people, but having a place to come back to would be great . In case it matters, I'm 22 years old, asian, and am generally clean and chill and stuff, can drink etc.
Besides that, if there are any LPers that are just going to APPT Sydney let me know!
edit: The casino is Star City in Pyrmont fwiw, so if anything I'd prefer someone close to that and not like 1-2 hours away
Alright guys, it's time for an upgrade on the monitor. I am trying to figure out what the best 30 inch monitors to buy are.
From a quick glance, I've noticed both the Dell Ultrasharp 3007 and 3008 models have good reviews. What are some other monitors that I can look at, and how do these monitors compare? I'm mostly trying to get the maximum resolution in a 30 inch monitor, as well as a clear picture. Also, please be sure to include where I can find some for cheaper if you know. I know some of you guys out there know all the sweet deals =)
Thanks for the help guys!
and i can not stop thinking about it... i was driving up a hill and it just come outta nowhere when i got to the top, and i couldn't do anything about it. after i did i pulled over to recollect myself because i was like omg omg omg, turn around, and saw it lying there dead. and now i can't stop thinking about like what if it was someone's kid or something. ugh i am a horrible person.
A long time ago I saw joeingram1 doing 24tables all cascaded on top of eachother. Who uses this setup reguarly and what programs do you use to assist you? I want to try it out but am afraid of epic misclicks.
since all the blogs I make are mostly whining here is a positive one
I just booked my flight + hotel (Deerfoot) for tomorrow was originally planning on leaving today but that didnt work out so the 1k tourney is likely going to be my first live tournament ever followed by the 5k HU and the 2.2k mainevent + 5/10 cash and some other smaller events if I bust early in the 5k/2k
if anyones coming to Calgary ship me a pm we'll meet up and goto the casino / for drinks or something
I've been doing well online since I took a brief trip to montreal at the end of June/start of July
up some money at staking and other stuff as well thats like 10-15k or something
I probably dont plan on playing anymore online this month and obviously it didn't end too well as I lost like 10k in the last 2-3 days but I was really tired/hungry when I played and def tilted/spewed a ton so I only have myself to blame
overall lifes pretty good right now I turned 19 2 days ago yay! and I'm looking to move to downtown Toronto by the end of the year so hopefully I can find a nice place
So, I've been living in Portland, Or for 6 months now. I know there was a post on one of my blogs that there were some people from this site that live in Portland. I have my girlfriend here and my best friend from college and a couple of other friends but not too many. If anyone wanted to meet up that would be awesome. I live in the SW on Barbour. So, let me know.
New Place, back on the grind!by JonnyCosMo, August 19
First off, note that I haven't had internet for the past week. I wrote this on my offline time so it's a couple days out dated:
Not even going to get into trying to update my blog more. When playing mostly live pokers, your time spent on the computer drops dramatically. Add that in with the release of Starcraft 2 (which is clearly a mandatory 2-3 hours of wasted time per day), and a little bit of the online poker grind here and there, I basically don't find myself with the time I use to have to update this thing.
Just came off of an awful WSOP. Played the $10/$25 at the Rio for cash games, and ended up getting creamed for ~$30kish over the week I played. Got the chance to play one of the craziest cash games ever with RaSZi where a $10/$25 turned into a $10/25/50/100. Weeeeeeeee! Although I ended up being pretty card dead during that particular session. On another day, I had probably my worst single orbit of live poker ever where I flopped a set 3 times and lost all 3 pots. Lucky for me, none of those pots where over 200bbs. I also played 3 tournaments, one of those $1k shit shows where I lasted about 2 hours then got 2 outted. The $2.5k 6-max where I lasted til 11:30pm before getting knocked out by Jeff Shulman in a sick hand where I river a set and he binks a straight . Finally the Main Event, I played on Day 3 and drew Table 1 Seat 2. Was it a sign? Table 1 Seat 1 happened to be Theo Tran, and our table didn't break all day. We had a pretty soft table for the most part and I ended the 1st day with 77k. Day 2a did not go as smoothly as I wanted, as I was working off of one hour of sleep from the night before for god knows what reason (maybe I was too excited to play or something?). My stack went on the monkey coaster for the majority of the day, swinging between 40k and 180k. Ironically, if I played my good solid tight game I probably would have ended with a pretty variance free 100k. Instead I ended the day with 125k after several hands where I just went bat shit insane and ran good. Going into Day 3 I was pretty well rested and took an adderol to make sure I would stay focused. I drew Annie Duke's table and we had the cameras around the table for the majority of the day. I played just about as good as I wanted to play and built up to 210k in chips at the 1k/2k level. Then I ran TT into JJ for a 70bb pot. The very next hand I flopped the world with AcQx on a Jc-Tc-3c board and bricked vs JT in a 80bb pot. Finally I reshipped my last 18bb's with A9s from the bb vs btn open and btn woke up with JJ so I was out 2 orbits after having a massive stack. That was pretty heart breaking, but the good news is that I might get my 15 seconds of fame as I played some weird hand with Annie Duke and the ESPN cameras were there and took down my name so... crossing my fingers!
In other news, just finished with a year of living in La Jolla (northern San Diego) less than a block away from the beach, and it definitely was an awesome experience. Going into the year, I thought winning money in the online pokers was a myth but I learned (or basically relearned) what it takes to be an online grinder and so hopefully in these upcoming months I will have a winning PTR on atleast one site :-P
I just moved to a condo in the south side of the Hillcrest area of San Diego (between Pacific Beach and Downtown). Yes, it is the "gay-friendly" area. It just so happens that everyone that I've met in our condo building so far has been gay. Make fun of it all you want! We got the biggest condo in the building with a baller ass 270 degree view of San Diego for about half the price as it normally would be just because it's the "gay" area of town. New roommates: GoGators86, A2Steaksauce, Clayton_27. Only downside = when walking around the building or outside in the Hillcrest area with one of my roommates we are probably mistaken as a gay couple. The upsides = We are closer to a lot of the other poker players down here who mostly live downtown. Great location to pretty much everything (10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to Petco Park, 10 minutes to Qualcomm Stadium, 10 minutes to PB bars, 5 minutes to golf course / driving range). And this...
I am going to play the 8,500€ Partouche Poker tour main event tournament, which takes place on September 2, in Cannes, France. It has 3,000,000€ guaranteed prizepool.
The buyin is quite high so I would like to sell about 25-35% of my action.
I expect the field to be one of the softest among 5k€+ tournaments, probably like top2 tournament of the season along with EPT San Remo.
Because of this I expect my ROI to be quite high and dont really wanna sell at even price, but I think selling at 1.25 is still a very good deal for potencial buyers.
It means I am selling 1% for 106.25€ or $137.
Minimum share is 5% for 531.25€ or $685.

Poker has been rough, and I hadn't really taken great care of myself or had a good day-to-day life this month. I had enough on Monday, and I am going to set myself on the path of life-heater. So I'm going to get that gym membership I have been putting off renewing, and keeping myself to a more disciplined day-to-day life. The biggest thing, imo, is that today I got myself a poker coach who I am really excited to work with on the regular basis. He's a very strong midstakes guy who has been playing for years, and our way of thinking about poker clicks well.
I think the last thing is the most important. Being an aggressive player and having an aggressive game plan is what makes me feel good about poker, it stirs my old passion and excitement for the game back up again. That feeling that you own the game and you are calling the shots each hand. Its the most important ingredient for poker I've been missing this year.
of HoN... it's so weird, felt like I played it for no more than 4hrs.. My sleep schedule is so messed up, I can barely remember what happend through out my days and it sorta feels like im losing the feeling of time. idk im tired lol -_-
can someone reccomend me a good horror movie? good horror movies are so rare
