Hello everyone ,
too much hate lately on LP --->negative nrg --->run bad!!!
anyway , im still doing great (last time i post my results jinxed myself and spent 3days breakeven,hope this wont happen this time)
Still earning a steady 5-6 nl50 buyins everyday i play ,like 6/7 a week,for like 5hours each day.
playing ~3 tables of nl50
~2 tables of nl100
and i add up a nl200 FR table, nitting it up more there :>
Great news i managed to find a guy from the "inside" granting me 50%
(YEA THATS FIFTY PERCENT!) rakeback which is huge considering the rake is huge aswell.
too bad site is not supported by hem or pt3 so i cant calculate the rake or the bb/100 and post any graphs.
Enjoy the summer , im gonna post pics next time i update my blog from summer in greece :>
GL at tables all.
p.s. after the news for poker in france,poland and isreal this vid is getting more and more real:>
most of my losses come from 550 hu and mtts and $2000 in hyper turbos. now ive put a limit on my account to stop me playing the 550s and i just been avoiding the hyper turbos like the plague. I wasnt sure whether or not to knock mtts on the head. I was hoping for a $75k year after mtt scores were coming thick and fast at the tail end of last year. Not looking likely at all.
ive earnt 230k vpps this year and got 680k fpps to play with. got over $5000 in milestone bonuses and BOP bonuses so its not all bad.
I just felt the need to brag about winning 100 buy ins. I Have ok stats for $110 and $220 hu and if there is any players that want to step up from the 33-55s im happy to let you watch me play and watch you play for a bit see if i would do anything differently. PM me if interested.
Gl all
ps upload images button is not working, maybe someone can sort that out?
starting to get recover mentallyby whamm!, July 20
at last im making the best decisions, not tilting, and being content if i feel im good for the day and quit completely. no more mini tilty sessions helps me grind out winning months and since the baby is here to keep me busy, although him crying every damn hour tilts me, i dont spend my whole day playing poker now and actually look forward to my sessions. so up about 4k overall inc some rakeback so ill be staying at 50nl till the end of the month before taking my shot again at 100nl. cheers
I've been experimenting with not checking my cashier and HEM since the end of last month. Its been.. really good. I haven't felt really stressed out at any point this month. So far I've tried setting a date upon when I can next check my cashier, which was OK as far as I only had a couple times with a strong desire to check. Since the 15th I decided to try checking every 10k hands and see how that feels
I think I'll keep avoiding results.. Not sure if I'll settle on one way in which I like doing it, or if I will just mix it up to keep it interesting.
Anyway this is one of the times I can check! Unfortunately my red line has started going down again, it seems.. Not sure.. I will pay attention to it though.. :/ Red line dropping too fast at nl100 but I only have 5k hands there so meh (down 2bi). My redline is pretty stable over my 20k hands at nl50 tho, down $250 over that period. Meh I'll just keep trying to play well.
in british english we are brought up from birth to automatically feel inclined to say "please", "thanks" and "sorry" in a massive variety of social situations.
the nature of please and thanks, and sorry, is something of great interest - and importance.
let me get to the point quickly:
have you ever found yourself saying "sorry" when obviously you are not at fault?
have you ever found yourself saying "sorry" just because it was something you automatically say?
have you ever found yourself saying "thanks" when you have no reason to be grateful?
have you ever found yourself saying "thanks" when you've felt a simple nod of the head would surfice?
have you ever found yourself saying "please" and wondering if you sound like a pussy?
have you ever found yourself wondering why you say "please", "thanks" or "sorry" or any number of other social terms and wondering why in all honesty are they required?
one classic british example is when you pass a person in a narrow corridor whilst at work (eg a nursing home or office when people are passing by one another constantly).
in this example, you are in a hurry and have passed two dozen people already that day. You walk down the corridor and a person stands aside to let you pass.
you have the option of responding in several ways:
saying "thanks", a nod of the head, or by in future occaisions standing aside yourself in order to let a person pass in a reflection of mutual respect.
in my experience:
personally, if i stand aside for someone who is hurry by me, and they do not say "thanks", it does not bother me. i expect them to show the same respect to me when i am hurry by them (ie standing aside for me), and do not require other physical acknowledgement.
personally, if someone stands aside for me when i am hurry by, if i do NOT say "thanks!" or offer some other social jibe such as "whoops!" or something equally retarded, then that person who has stood aside for me TAKES GREAT AND LASTING OFFENSE, AND OFTEN MAKES A LOUD REMARK SUCH AS A SARCASTIC "THANK_YOUUU_". that person will continue to bare a grudge and their opinion of me will decrease and they will find me rude and start to hate on me.
another examples:
someone crashes into you in the street, obviously their fault. you say "excuse me" or "sorry".
another example:
someone says "good morning" to you (or to the world) as they enter work. you say "hey there" or "good morning" back. except that they dont hear you. they then repeat, in a very agitated tone "GOOD MORNING??????" and become pissed off as if you personally disrespected them.
another example:
i go into a store and ask for directions to the bank. the middle-aged woman tells me the directions. i say "thanks, bye". the woman responds with "thankyou!". i feel a little bad for her.
this social brainwashing is terribad in england and i can only imagine it is even worse in the USA from my limited but retarding experience in that country.
i believe that certain cultures (such as Bulgaria?) have far more sensible cultural etiquittes that do not border on religion.
i could go into more detail but hopefully it isnt necessary. no im not some socially-retarded freak, i just dont want to conform to obviously retarded over-standards that are expected by ESPECIALLY older people in certain places ive experienced.
im watching the film Religulous which is a documentary by a guy like Larry David.
he goes around various christian organisations questioning them about their beliefs.
its a well known film and a "must watch". its a great film to watch whilst drinking because its funny and interesting.
half way through it is illustrated that at least 3-4 other religious figures PRECEDED jesus (sometimes by centuries) but also exhibited very very similar qualities to his tale, ,for example:
born on the 25th dec, born of a virgin, baptised in a river, done miracles such as walk on water and heal the sick, rose from the dead.
one of these is the egyptian god Horus.
i havent any research regarding this since im still watching the film, but it had kinda shocked me. id never heard of this before.
halfway through july and sn plansby Luckb0xx, July 20
Hey guys.. time to write a little blog entry imo
Ive never been a big grinder.. Could play 8-12 tables for 1-2 hours but not more.. But since beginning of july I realized it would be nice to hit SN this year..
I didnt play on stars a lot this year until june.. had like 20k vpp, made 8kish in june and now already 11kish in july so SN is definitely doable easily
trief PLO today and its a rollercoaster.. need to be rolled better for it lol ^^
so i wake up today and try to bring back my computer from sleep and.... nothing. my monitor wont display. i checked the plugs. unplugged and replugged. restarted computer etc....
i hook up my old 19 inch and its working fine.
my old monitor is a 28 inch hannspree. it's less than 2 years old. it turns on and everything but it is just blank and displays nothing.
I want to get a degree in Russian and Japanese Language. I am also interested in Spanish, but less so.
The two reasons are: I want most to learn these languages. I want to get a degree.
I am 25 and have the following A Levels:
Biology D
General Studies A
Chemistry C
IT B
I have no qualification in language other than a GCSE French of B grade.
I have looked at several options:
a) Try to do a Russian AS/A level in home study and take the international Japanese literacy test after home study, and hope to do well enough to get accepted in a year. 5 year process.
b) Apply through clearing and see if any universities have places left for Japanese language which might accept me with low grades (there are perhaps 3 of them). (I will phone up on monday). 4 year process.
c) Get 60-120 credits in Open University Spanish (which would look good?) then apply to Uni next year. 5 year process.
d) Potentially just complete 3 years open university in Spanish to attain a degree and learn other languages in my spare time. 3 years process, but very much less attractive than a degree in russian (or japanese, or chinese).
Plleeeeeeeeeeeeeassssssssse give me some of your thoughts about this decision i must explore!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some things to note:
a) Russian/chinese courses require ABB generally with a language at A-Level ; i have no chance in getting into one without spending a year trying to get more grades in some shape or form (what do you recommend is best for me to achieve this?)
b) Organising A-level external examinations is apparently very hard to pull off? My old school might be able to do it for me (private school). Additionally, trying to achieve A-level in Russian (or japanese, but some schools specify russian) within 1 year will be tough.
c) Open University ONLY does : Spanish and English lit/lan combined BA. (Or Spanish and French but I have little interest in french)
There is one last option...please consider it....
I could (possibly) be accepted to do Japanese Language for a 4 year course, but apply for a transfer to a different university and different course (Russian with Japanese) after my first year (after getting good grades).
edit: I realize this is not the most attractive offer, however I'm not going to try big myself up. All I can say is that I feel really confident beating nl50hu, I'm a very dedicated grinder and doing my best to get better at HU. I DO think this will be profitable for the staker. Also willing to work with a deal that is very strong in the stakers favour. Looking for $1000-1500.
So I'm moving to San Diego this September with some friends. One of them needs the place for August so we are starting the lease then just to secure a place and help him out, but that leaves two rooms vacant for August. The place is 3 bedroom/2.5 bath in Pacific beach (its a townhouse part of a 4 home unit). Kind of a long shot at such short notice, but I was wondering if anyone here is going to be in the area and needs a place to stay for August. We have 4 people paying ~$668/month now, so if someone wants to take a room or two off our hands for a month that would be AWESOME (would be willing to significantly lower the price). Right now its unfurnished but I'd order a bed to arrive in time if someone was interested in renting for a month.
