Monday the 14th was my bday so now im mad old at 24. Lots of celebrating all weekend including trip to Yonker raceway with friends for some horsie races saturday night. Not super exiciting when its the charriot or whatever racees i like just horses and jockies. Hit like one trifecta and nothing else, had a good time tho.
Been watching the world cup. Not a fan of soccer until this world cup, after watching England vs US and some other games Ive actually started to enjoy watching people pass the ball around for 90 minutes. Few issues with the game tho. WTF is with draws. Nobody like to win in this sport? 90 minutes of circle jerking and then its like "OK we tied good job that was fun" How can competitive people not want to fkin win?!?! aLSO, shut those fukin horns up. Makes my ears bleed. I watch soccer on mute now. Fukin obnoxious.
Got a 50 dollar bet with StreetsonFire for who does better in the LP thingy. ATM he has 7 i have 5. I didnt even contemplate picking any draws nor did i notice it was an option, of course like every match is a draw. Anyway i plan to win this with random button clicking skills. We also have a 25 last longer bet i have spain he has brazil, OBVIOUSLY spain loses to fukin SWITZERLAND??! fo real?!?! Swiss defense is nothing like their cheese apparently.
Gonna be an awesome weekend starting today. NBA finals wraps up tonight, US OPEN starts which im super exicted about. Got a party friday night gonna get shitfaced, saturday golfing and sunday drinking and watching US Open all day. Maybe some pokers in there too. Cant wait.
new hobby - swinging !!! (NOT)
I am swinging from -11 buy ins to +7 buy ins in 2 last sessions. Damn fuck poker is an interesting and mindfucking game. I wonder what tomorrow brings ? :/ ?
its called "ff unleashed" or "ff unlimited" or something like that.
there are 4.5gig and 10gig versions of it.
it is 2+ hours long and fixes any problem you ever had with the original movie.
eg finished animations, and tons of extra scenes that actually allow the movie to make sense rather than not make sense
if you're a fan of FF7 then this movie (this "updated" movie) is absolutely essential, even though its a large download.
ive watched the ff movie 2-3 times and it was ok. ive watched the ff7 improved movie 2-3 times and it is insaaaaneeeely amazing.
im 11 minutes in and already crying.
im making this post because you might have seen the ff7 movie when it first came out, but the new improved version of it fixes all the holes of the original.
if you were ever confused or thought the ff7 movie sucked, watch this new completed version. its the difference between eating out a smelly 70 year olds vagina vs a nice supple 18 year olds vagina.
look on demonoid or thepiratebay for a download. it might take 2 or 3 days to get but its so worth it.
I figure a bunch of LPers have portal because of the free giveaway from a few months back. I've been playing some custom portal maps lately and found a few good ones i thought i'd share. If you're on the edge about custom portal maps, definitely check out the first one at least.
Enjoy all, let me know if you like them or if u know of other great maps. Theres a ton more maps on this site but i havent gone through them all yet ;D
* Save each map to the "C: - program files - steam - [steamid] - portal - portal - maps" folder
* Unzip any that are zipped
* Run Portal
* Enable the developers console. You can do so through Settings -> Keyboard -> Advanced -> Enable Developer Console.
* Open the Developer Console by pressing ~ or ` (the key beside 1 and under escape)
* Finally type "map" (without quotes) then the name of the map, and press enter. For example: map prl_map1
On some maps you need to load the map using the 'bonus maps' option on the main menu but almost all maps work with the console method.
SOLD OUT
First off, I'd like to say that I'm not a cash game specialist. However, I am pretty competent in them, and definitely have a giant edge over the players at the low stakes live cash games. That being said, I'm going to be playing some live poker this weekend, and I'm a bit short on cash. As far as experience goes, I have probably netted about $2000 in profit for cash games over 20ish trips to the casinos. In addition, I played and won a 40-player live donkament on the first try for a whopping $500. I'll be playing at Casino Morongo (Southern California) for at least two, and possibly three days. I am looking to sell shares of my action, up to 50% due to being under rolled. I am hoping to get a full 5-buyin BR ($1000) together before this weekend, and currently have $500 of my own to put towards it. I'll be playing $1/$3 ($200 buy-in), which are the lowest and easiest stakes. Also, I am doing this at no additional markup, just want to reduce variance a bit. Is anybody interested in this? Previous blogs of mine can vouch for my honesty/reliability/integrity.
Thanks LP
1% = $10
5% = $50
10% = $100

I'm so happy Chile won its first game.. could have been more goals, some misplays but w/e we won and got 3 points against a turtling team. Not winning would have been really bad, specially with Switzerland beating Spain.
My brother wasn't at his apartment so we put a friend's TV there and did drinks + barbaque at 7:00 AM lol. Happily everything went good. Repeating this monday, adding night celebration aswell hopefully.
It was inevitable that Chile dominated the ball trough the whole game, as it happened. Worst case scenario was Chile failing to score, and maybe losing to a counter atack (Spain lolz) while best case scenario was 4-0 ez game. Chile did win, however 1-0.
I think playmaking and strategy was awsome. Going foward, good passes, not random balls to the front. It made me proud to see Chile play like that in such a nit WC.
They did seem really nervous, specially at begining. During the game it seemed to fade away BUT it seems in the last 25 meters they did fuck up a lot of scoring situation due to panic.
In the defense, they did well considering they defended with few players, but Honduras strikers sucked. They pressured really hard, forbiddin Honduras to do elaborated plays; they were always forced to throw ball foward to strikers. They did rush a bit too much sometimes, more calm might have been better at certain situations. Vidal was really good with timings on getting the ball back at midfield.
On the offence it seems if they get their shit together they are gonna do really good stuff. Sanchez showed good he is, even though he miss goal a lot. He can still do a lot better.
Group Situation:
Switzerland's victory over Spain puts Chile in a tough spot. In 2nd round Spain is gonna beat Honduras and Switzerland can aim to tie against Chile, and later secure qualification against Honduras on 3rd round; losing to spain would have forced them to try to win vs Chile. Chile is forced to win vs Switzerland now, cause Spain on 3rd round will have only 3 points and go all in vs Chile; playing them with 3-4 points would be really risky. Even winning vs Switzerland, if Chile loses to Spain and Switzerland beats Honduras it would come to goal difference. With 6 points we put pressure on Switzerland to beat Honduras, and also to go for "score difference" advantage. On the brighter side, if Spain fails to beat Honduras they are fucked up no matter what unless Chile loses. Also, with Spain's today defeat, chilean chances to advance as first in group increases. TBH, I love the team and think they are awsome but dodging Brazil would be great. I trust Chile can take any other team heads up.
Post ur comments on today Chile's game =). Wanna see what foreigners think about our team.
Also props to Uruguay, they didn't choke like mexico to an obvious inferior team and secured a solid win (plus I bet money on both to win vs SA, so this puts me slightly on the positive)
DO NOT POST COMMENTS ABOUT URUGUAY OR MEXICO =) (unless u talk first and more about chile )
Mr. Huabing of China. You want to slowroll every single fucking hand on me HU? Whether you intend to fold, limp, call or raise, you're seriously going to run the fucking clock out every single time? And when I sit out for 3 hands just to make sure you're not playing starcraft, you immediately begin minraising my blinds, and go back to stalling as soon as I sit back in? Ok mother fucker, well this post serves as public notice that I intend to do physical bodily harm to you. Thats right, this is a legally enforceable threat of violence against you on the internet. I know I'll probably never meet you, let alone play you again, but maybe, just maybe, one day you and I will happen to find each other, perhaps at a coffee shop if I'm in Beijing, or maybe in Florida if you visit a beach in the USA. But the best place would be at a poker table, oh the sweet sweet justice of having us meet for the first time in our game of choice. We wont know each other at first, but maybe the table will become social, and we'll all recant about our poker histories, and someone will drop a comment about playing online. It'll go something like "yeah FTP is rigged, I always lose there" and then you'll chime in that you nod and agree, and I'll toss out a question about screenames, to which each will reply with theirs, ultimately landing upon you. You wont notice it, but once the words "huabing" are uttered from your mouth I will become a fiery red, incensed with anger and rage. I'll calmly scoot my chair back, stand up, and casually walk up behind you, you not even aware I have left. Then I'll donkey punch you in the back of the goddamn head knocking your fucking glasses off or whatever you are wearing on your head. The table will gasp, people will think im nuts, you'll even call me nuts after turning around with your hair disheveled, saying "what the FUCK man" or some such thing. My eyes will be bright white, beaming at you in full stare, fists already clenched, body rigid as a board. Possibly not the best fighters stance, but then again im not a professional kickboxer, just some guy with enough strength to fucking hurt you, and hurt you bad during my initial adrenaline rush. I'll do everything possible to entice you to stand up and face me, even though I expect you to be so scared you'll do nothing but sit in your chair. But God help you should you stand up towards me. I'll hit you. I'll hit you in your fucking face, over and over. I'll straddle on you and just keep hitting you and I wont stop until my hand hurts too much or I am satisfied with the damage. Perhaps if you begin crying like a bitch I'll feel bad for you and stop early, otherwise you will go home with stitches in your face and swollen lips. The one good thing you will take with you is the lesson you have learned. Never ever ever fuck with someone you dont know, you classless fuck.
Wondering if there's a way to have TN save my table locations as default for resizing/positioning purposes? All I can find are the set-aside hotkeys, which seem to cap at 4 locations. Any help would be appreciated!
Overheard on public transit today...by mikeymoo, June 16
Two girls in their early 20s trying to solve a crossword:

A: Yeah I was thinking that, but what about "scene"?

B: OH YEAH UR RIGHT HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP
i moved house and got a job in telesales straight away. there were about 10 of us new starters and 50+ kids working in college-style computer room.
we had a database of numbers of businesses, and we had to phone them and explain that they are paying emergancy rate for their electricity. we then convince them to sign a contract with an energy supplier so theyre paying less. (not really telesales at all)
i found it really difficult and had super bad nerves and stumbled over my words when i was taken aback by anything.
we were given "shit" numbers beause we were new , which means they had already been phoned 5+ times and the people on the line were generally preetty pissy.
i was told by someone who'd been working there a while that if the managers didnt like you or you had bad sales then you'd always be given shitty numbers.
i was also told that if you ever took a monday or tuesday off for sick day, youd be given shit numbers for the rest of the week. so you dont do it again.
we were told on day1 that the basic wage was 160+comission. but on day2 we were told the basic was actually 80. (this is when i realised that this industry/people are full of bullshit. some people who had been working there a while said that they were getting paid literally fuck all some weeks. i didnt like the idea of working 5 days a week for 80-150. you only got 2-3 sets of numbers per day so there was a LOT of variance. you couldnt just call infinite people until you got a deal.
i almost got a deal on day2. the guy told me to come back with a quote, but after sending for a quote i had to ring him back to get his metre serial number. he called me a fucking cunt for that and started shouting so i hung up :3
another guy , i phoned up and said "hi is mr hig hog there?" and the receptionist said "um his name is highog not hig hog". that was pretty lol.
this guy next to me stood up to go take a pee one time, and one of the floor managers started on him. obviously they had some history but it wasnt very pleasant. the guy was like "dude i just need to take a pee ill be back" and the manager was like "ur always taking the piss". then the manager went right up to him and whispered (loudly) in his ear "FUCK YOUUUU". i was like .... and the guy was just shocked into silence. i kinda felt like walking out then.
the managers in general would strut around the office shouting "come on we need more sales get ur act together or you wont be going home" etc. they were insanely cocky jackasses, like something out of a movie. they had greasy slick hair and unbuttoned shirts and were the biggest pricks you can imagine. during lunch break they would play ps3 football and wash their bmws.
in sales, we were told to say that we search the entire market to find the best price for the customer. but really we only search 3 providers: the boss's company, and 2 others. the 2 others were so that if the boss didnt want to provide energy to, ,say, a shitty company that would shut down quickly, he could get comission by forwarding them to someone else.
another lie we told people was how much they are currently paying. if asked, we add "around 40%" to the new price we can offer them, and tell them theyre paying that.
i asked some people how much they got paid in their first few weeks and the consensus was "pretty much nothing". we had 2 weeks on a training wage and i asked people would we get paid that if we quit after 2-3 weeks? they said no, the managers wouldnt pay us (because they dont have to if they dont want to).
so i quit
like 2 days later i found out i had 30 quid in my bank and i was like WTF NO WAI I THOUGHT I HAD 500 NOT 30 DAMN WHY DID I QUIT THAT JOB. but like today i got a phone call saying i got a job as a receptionist so no biggy (although i suuure cut it close).
+10kish June so far.....Vegas Friday for WSOP!!by Joeingram1, June 16
What is up blog world, cool month for me so far. I've been hanging out with this new girl in my life (pics upon request obv) for the last month everyday/all day so that has taken its toll on my playing poker but my results when I have been playing have been pretty stellar!!
Almost +10k if I would not have played that last hand of the session
My actual goal when I started the month was to make 10k because I figured I would not be playing to much with WSOP and this girl always around so I am happy I am almost there. I have actually been having alot of fun though and have done some pretty fun things lately. Have been hanging out with PS SNE BallCup some lately out here in San Diego and we went on a nice little double date with his girl and mine to a steakhouse downtown here, luckily I won CCR Dinner on him! I lost team bowling though (thanks to my awful bowling partner obv) so now Padres tickets are on me. Were going to get tickets to Game 7 of Lakers v Celtics but still deciding if we should bring the women or not, smart choice says leave them at home imo lol
Am planning to go to Vegas on Friday for WSOP 1k on saturday and looking foward to meeting a ton of Small/Mid stakes guys I have never met before and seeing a bunch of ones I have met. Going to try to get pictures with every single TV pro I recognize and all the online guys there to lol, should be alot of fun!! Going to make the 4 hour drive out there in my M3 and hopefully run good and avoid speeding tickets!
Starting to get more and more into the World Cup and have been watching every game as of late just trying to learn how it all works and learn some of the players, I am still noob to betting on it though but if anyone does want to bet on any match, feel free to PM me and I'll take action on most sides just for the sweat! Im debating buying Fifa 10 for Xbox but I think it will take up wayyy to much time so trying to avoid it
Way to go John. These are some of the things Obama's doing that piss me off, areas where he is engaging in massive epic fail. There's more too but no time to go into it now (Stop Loss!!!!)
hey i have installed holdem manager on two different laptops and the one i have at home is on an old laptop and i just got a new laptop. So my question is, do i have to buy another holdem manager for new laptop or is can i just uninstall from old laptop and install on new one with same key code? or how does that work? thanks
This guy is from American idol, and i found a sick remix of it. Enjoy.
Also found a rockrap remix with corn,
As to my poker life, still playing at 100NL to 200NL. Still getting in 100k hands per month. Not having the greatest month so far, but still got 2 weeks to turn things around
