Heading to a NL200 game in Queens in an hour or so. Finally found a game in NY! Super excited, haven't played poker in ages...like a month and a half. (OMG withdrawal).
Will be back in 16 hours to tell epic suckout stories and tales of how crooked dealers dealt setup hands all night long. And how I dodged the coolers like a Cereus superuser.
and yes, I will have a 16 hour poker session unless I bust.
May the poker gods smile on me. (and on all of you LP'ers who read my blog as well)

I'm on windows 7 so have set stero mix as my default working device.
Audacity records properly (when it doesn't crash) but the played back recording sounds terrible (very unclear, underwaterish).
Could someone please try recording this track (or any other) with a software and then tell me what settings you use? I've set recording settings in Aud to high (eg 96000hz, triangle, high quality, 32 float).
For those who still don't get it, i believe there won't be any need of devices for the next generations of consoles (i think), there will be a smart camera that will save your movements (if that wasn't obvious enough )
Some cool movies i wanted to post about. I'd recommend just watching the movies as 90% of trailers tend to spoil movies imo. I added them anyway tho incase you dont care and wanna check them out first ^^
Theres a bunch of movies i'd say don't watch but if there was just one i'd say don't watch The Mystery Team.
Hopefully it gives some of you a few movies to check out. Any good movies i've missed out on or should watch out for later this year? WTB more space movies!!!¬.¬
I forgot how to play poker or something. I keep losing, my red and blue lines are both tanking it. This is the worst downswing buy in wise i've had in the last 4 years... and oddly enough its at lower stakes than i've played for the past 2 or 3 years until recently. I decided I'd mix it up by throwing in normal tables instead of rush. Didn't help. I must be playing like an idiot though. None of my bluffs ever work, they always have the nuts when i look people up, and I'm obv not running well either.
In modern Sweden, Midsummer's Eve and Midsummer's Day (Midsommarafton and Midsommardagen) were formerly celebrated on 23 June and 24 June, but since 1953 the celebration has been moved to the Friday and Saturday between 19 June and 26 June. It is one of the most important holidays of the year in Sweden, and probably the most uniquely Swedish in the way it is celebrated. The main celebrations take place on the Friday, and the traditional events include raising and dancing around a huge maypole. Before the maypole is raised, greens and flowers are collected and used to cover the entire pole. Raising and dancing around a maypole (majstång or midsommarstång) is an activity that attracts families and many others. People dancing around the pole listen to traditional music and some even wear traditional folk costumes. In addition, many wear crowns made of wild springs and wildflowers on their heads. The year's first potatoes, Soused herring, Chives, Sour Cream, Beer, Snaps and the first strawberries of the season are on the menu. Drinking songs Snapsvisor are also important at this feast, and many drink heavily. When Sweden got its National day (6th june) discussions were hold about making midsummer the Swedish national day because of the strong civil celebration this day. Because Midsummer was thought to be one of the times of the year when magic was strongest, it was considered a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Traditionally, young people pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future spouse. In the past it was believed that herbs picked at Midsummer were highly potent, and water from springs could bring good health. Greenery placed over houses and barns were supposed to bring good fortune and health to people and livestock; this old tradition of decorating with greens continues, even though most don't take it seriously. To decorate with greens was called att maja (to may) and may be the origin of the word majstång, maja coming originally from the month May. Other researchers say the term came from German merchants who raised the maypole in June because the Swedish climate made it impossible to find the necessary greens and flowers in May, and continued to call it a maypole. Today, however, it is most commonly called a "midsommarstång" (literally midsummer's pole). In earlier times, small spires wrapped in greens were erected; this probably predates the maypole tradition, which is believed by many to have come from the continent in the Middle Ages. Others argue that some form of Midsummer pole occurred in Sweden during the pre-Christian times, and was a phallic fertility symbol, meant to impregnate the earth, but as there were no records from those times it cannot be proven, and this idea might just be a modern interpretation of the poles form. The earliest historical mention of the maypole in Sweden is from the Middle Ages. Midsummer was, however, linked to an ancient fertility festival which was adapted into St. John's Day by the church, even though it retained many pagan traditions, as the Swedes were slow to give up the old heathen customs. The connection to fertility is naturally linked to the time of year. Many young people became passionate at Midsummer, and this was accepted, probably because it resulted in more childbirths in March which was a good time for children to be born. In Denmark and Norway midsummer is referred to as the eve of Skt. Hans but it's only in Sweden that it has kept its original name. In Sweden and parts of Finland the tradition of bonfires are not part of midsummer but of the "Valborg's" evening festivities when winter leaves are burned for summer. An old Swedish traditon is that unmarried girls should before bedtime midsummer´s eve pick seven kinds of flowers and jump over seven roundpole fences and then sleep with the flowers under the pillow. During the night they will dream about the boy they will get married to.
Bought an iPhone 3GS off of craigslist. Seemed to work fine, once I got home I just did the little "wipe memory" option readily available from the system menu of the iphone, thing turned into a brick and just started rebooting infinitely. Only option was to upgrade the phone OS through a special recovery mode, phone updated to latest version of 4.0. Apparently 4.0 cannot be cracked to use on other networks like I'm trying to do, so I tried to use a tool to downgrade to an earlier OS. Apparently said tool does not work on windows 7, and now the phone is completely fucked and cant even be turned on.
I have spent the last 8 hours on this. I'm gonna try to take it to an apple store to see if they can fix it. I hear they are gracious and will often just give you a new phone. If I leave the store with a $325 paperweight, expect a glorious youtube video tomorrow of me smashing it to pieces with a hammer.

Cool thing is today is my birthday. =) So I'm going out for the next few days, but will try to put in a sesh in the morning or so.
[if ur interested in coaching, see last post]
Life has been good, got better, having fun in china, been going out a lot and having lots of fun with my gf and other friends. not playing too much pokers, maybe 1 or 2 2 hour seshs or so, and I'm winning decently at nl200 but super small sample size. I honestly just want to get to be good enough to play 5/10 or 10/20, but that's a long ways a way.
Hopefully I can get good enough to play 2/4 before I start work, that'd be cool!
I realized I'm nearing 1m hands played total, and in review my poker life has been really shitty being a RB pro for like the longest time. But learning and getting better is what drives me to play. =)
Can someone recommend me some good pianist to listen to ? I've recently discovered that this kind of music instantly untilts me even if im 10bi down. Yeah obviously you can recommend like Mozart, Bach & etc. but i prefer somewhat of more modern pianists as their style seems completely different ( not that im so aware of those stuff ).I'm talking about music like the one in Tommy Angello's Eightfold path to poker enlightenment audios
I'm working on no sleep this night, I'm tired from running last evening with some girl I know (she's great to run with, she might be in a little bit better shape then me but when I get behind I just see her ass and my natural instincts kicks in and I refuse to fall to far behind) and I just had a BJJ class. I think I might've preformed better then ever. True, I got really tired and fucked up horridly vs this really good blue belt but he's owning me all the time anyway. Also true that I didn't do to good vs some other guys.
I did however finally manage to hit some sweeps on decent guys (ie: those who are better then me) despite them being bigger and stronger then me. That felt great. Also managed to tap one guy with a gogoplata from mount. And the good part about it was that he probably wasn't that much worse then me. Progress owns. I don't care about getting tapped a million times as long as I get this feeling sometimes.
Also. In order of awesomeness:
1. American dad.
2. NL1k, only limit I seem to beat consistently.
3. Soccer. Gooooo Argentina! And Germany. Or England. I dunno. Fuck it, I guess I'll just root for USA. Mostly due to the general awesomeness of Stan Smith.
Only bad thing is that now when I got home I got this tingling sensation in my left arm and I can't really sleep which sucks a lot. Asian chick will get over here and take care of me in 30 min or so though, which owns. She'll leave Sweden this weekend and probably won't be back so that feels strange. I'm supposed to take a train home to my parents this evening and I'm fairly sure I'll be tired as a retard but what can you do. I'll sleep when I'm dead.
