alrighty, so I am fairly new to poker...been playing about 1 year now, 99% of my play is local free rolls that pay out about 25 or 100$ depending on the venue/league, but i do not find casino (1/2 2/5 games) appealing at all considering i know that locals around here play there and i live in a hick area meaning they are all raging aggressive donks who chase & have no levels whatsoever. so anyway i have had off and on 10$ or so on FT and Stars and usually bust because i refuse to play .1/.2. I usually play HU for 2 or 5$ which i actually do well at even though i've been losing because i play DRUNK which is horribly stupid...but lately when i play sober i've been playing rush at .5/.10 and i completely crushed the tables today...so my question is, someone who is well studied but with little experience can do well at .5/.10 at rush? i've had about 4 sessions and made about 9$ per 20 minutes each session. am i jumping up too high too quick? i completely hate .2/.5 rush, and i completely hate .1/.2 ring games, and i like SNG's and HU's but i don't wanna play those until I'm rolled enough. anyway where does one start? what is a good BI amount? and what is a good stop loss at .5/.10 rush? thx in advance and this is my first blog and i'm drunk now but i've stopped playing drunk, anyway all advice is welcome and i understand that 100% of your advice will probably be "fold pre" or "well played" but that's cool cya and thx
-finally some good physical basketball
-games turned out kinda interesting (but not really)
-i can bear playing in a card room the whole day
im a magic fan. as a magic fan i understand this is most likely our last chance to win a title. i think we can beat any team, and really the only team that can beat us is lebron & co. cleveland is the only team i'm scared of, i think the lakers have fallen a lot and after seeing matt barnes out-thug kobe i'm pretty confident we can beat the lakers as well. vince being our closer also scares the shits out of me...he's super unreliable and i'm not sure if i like him taking the last shot. i hear lots of good things about vince from a friend whose part of orlando staff. mainly the fact that he follows and shows support for stan van gundy. this year the media didn't have as much to talk about, and it seemed a lot calmer with less friction between coach and team due to everyone else seeming to just trust/follow svg's instructions. which i'm glad for cause i think van gundy knows basketball (one of the few coaches who do). which is an obvious contrast to rasheed wallace. from what i hear his lazy ass and his noncholant-i-don't-give-a-fuck attitude really rubbed off onto the entire celtics team. which is i guess a partial reason to their demise.
anyway lebron obv wants this title bad (so he can potentially jet out of cleveland). and the thing is he's super ready to win this one too. mentally. experience-wise. and if cleveland lands chris bosh, gg next 5 years yo. i think c.barkely said it best when he said orlando is like the knicks vs chicago. the 2nd best team for like a decade. that makes me want to qq.

I hate flags, but girls are hotby spets1, April 17
Flags suck. Not all flags but the ones that are simple and uncreative. Ones that are simply bunch of lines in different colors. Its pisses me off. Look at this shit. + Show Spoiler +
Every fuck#n color. This limits my wardrobe choice. Cos I do really like blue white and red, but now I cant wear that shit cos if I do Im either from russia, serbia, netherlands, chzech republic, usa, and half dozen other countries. Gonna have people bothering you if you're from here or from there ffs. I guess its alright to be associated with your country but what if you wear say black red and yellow.. ppl gonna keep bothering you if you're german. F#ck off Im not german I just like the colors. God damnit. Why cant flags be creative? Like these: + Show Spoiler +
All I want to say is fuck you to all the flag making fags. Be more creative you lazy slobs.
Meh! Alright I got that off my chest. Now turn for the mandatory eye pleasers. And since LP loves the east. Its the asian girl theme tonight. And you know you like it.
So being back in Phuket I got my laptop again and a nice room with internet access. Been catching up on the world and had the chance to watch a few episodes of Rescue Me, which used to be one of my favorite shows. Season 3 kinda fell flat for me so I stopped watching for a while. I don't even remember when I watched season 4. But I DL'd season 5 before coming to Asia so we decided to give it a shot.
I'm glad we did cause 5 episodes in and it's fucking fantastic - I think it will probably be the best season. The acting and cinematography have all been great, and now they're addressing 9/11 in the most moving way I have ever seen. The fact that 9/11 has always been more of a back story that people don't really talk about has made it so the characters could develop independent of it. But now we're learning about 9/11 and the consequences for the people who were there in such a raw and real way and it's very believable because these characters are so well established. Plus I know that the writers for the show have spent a lot of time with many NYC firefighters and write their stories into the characters on the show, so most of the stories we're hearing are true or close to it.
And of course the show is still totally hilarious, and I find myself laughing like crazy one second and then the next scene is tugging tears to my eyes. I think these guys have done an amazing job with the show and I'm insanely impressed right now.
Guy is some MMA-fighter known for some crappy MTV-show, a good record and various entrances which usually includes dancing and hot Asian chicks. Here he speaks about his next fight (tomorrow?) and a lot of the crap he's talking about sounds a bit like some of us thinks about poker. How you need to be on top of your game etc. He might possibly be my favourite fighter, or at least top 5.
So ive been in Thailand for a couple of weeks now. The other night me and Night2o1 decide to hit the town and degen it up for a bit. He knows the area a bit better than i do, so i follow him.
We arrive at the bar area in Chiang Mai a litle late, most places shut around 1am. We find a place and play a little pool. Bar tender asks if we want a single drink sang-som or if we want a bottle - we choose bottle, which commits us to a night of debauchery.
After we polish off the small bottle we hit a ladyboy bar. We order a couple of pink lady-boys as the first cocktail. I tell Night he should ring the bell and buy everyone a drink. Hes such a fuckin degen he sounds off and all the lady-boys chime up.
We get a couple of long-island iced teas, the girls get whatever they want. They pull the shutter down and put on some music for us.
I was now in an illegal lock in with like 10 lady-boys.
So we out to the next joint. And a bunch of us roll out. This one chick in the white was fucking gorgeous. Next thing i know its me and night and 2 lady-boys in a car driving around to Lady GaGa. Night asks for some weed but they only for X. I decline and Night takes a pill at the club.
We sippin black label and are no longer paying for shit. I assure Night ill keep an eye on him even though i have 0% idea whats going on.
I remember dancing with a slutty lady boy. She let me grab her tits and i felt a little balls in the process. Most of u fucking prudes will be like OMFOMFPOGMOFMG at that, but its standard as shit.
I go outside and theres a chcik, shes nice dark skin, but its fucking day light. I meet a bald guy from europe and ask him repeatedly about life in san quentin, and how many years he did. Apparently none, but he did say he put a guy in a wheelchair. I continued to obsess about his time doing bird.
After dissing this chick that her tattoos looked like theyd been done with a guy with a crayola, she whipped off her heel ready to smash my skull in.
Night said hello to a guy coming down the stairs, he said fuck off. Next thing i know this chick was wielding the heel at the guy on tyhe moped, I was standing up looking hard.
We let that shit go, and reported upstairs for some early morning drinks.
We head down to a bar, and a girl whips off her shorts and heads into the moat as some sort of early songkran celebration. Me and night follow.
Night loses his glasses as he swims around fully clothed LOL
Im not sure what happened next but Night went home and i stayed out. I was throwing water all over the joint with a couple of scottish guys.
At one point the scottish guy threw a bucket of water at a moped and knocked the guy off. I maintain that thsi was fucking funny. Night says it wasnt/.
Anyway, just now i took a fucking tuktuk back to base, but had the option of snorting a line for like $2k baht. I offeredc fuckiung 80 and they werent happy.
Also, i fingered a post-ops pussy, felt ok. She was hot i would fucked her for like 400b. The other chick wanted 1k and she was a fucking mother. I felt bad. Couldnt pull the trigger. Offered eifel tower to @Night but he didnt want
Went to the Yankee game last night with my fiance and a female friend of ours who bought us the tickets as an engagement gift. We got shitfaced and had a good time. Had great seats and the yankees won 6-2. My boy Matsui, last years WS MVP, even hit a HR for the Angels in the 2nd and the whole place, including us, gave him a big cheer. It was Jackie Robinson day and everyone was wearing #42, very cool, but also very confusing at times. My fiance can name most of the players, but when they are in the field she couldnt tell one from another with the same jersey on. They announce everyone when they come to bat, and everyone is called by #42 lol. First inning my friend is like, "didnt he just bat?" Only small issue was I came in shorts and a yanks Tshirt, it was 70 degrees at start time. By the 2nd inning it was like below 50 and super windy. Every sweatshirt around was like $100 so I was like fuk that. Ended up buying a yankees blanket($25)that covered all of us since we were all freezing, worked well.
Have not been able to get many hands in at all this month due to engagement and tons of stuff going on. During the week im up at 630 back from work at 630, then hit the gym spend some time w/ the future ball and chain and its like shit I gotta do it all over again. Even if I do get an hour or so of free time Im so physically and mentally drained I dont have it in me to grind. I make it a point to not play when im tired, problem is im always tired. I work from home 1 day a week so I usually play that day but thats not enough.
Anyway I planned on golfing this weekend and some other stuff but looks like rain all weekend so I plan to get some grind in. I still got stuff to do like crap to get a new passport, lookin for a new car, and chillin w/ the woman. I would like to play like 10k hands but 5k would be great. Hopefully writing it here will keep me motivated. Next weekend is super busy for me with a big dinner for my grandparents 50th anniversary and my fiance's bday but after that I have to get into a nice rythym with the gym, poker, and life with a main goal of trying to get more sleep at night.
