Was at the game. Pretty special evening to be in the building and to be a Sens fan. I've been watching this guy at ice level my whole life so it's pretty sick to see him honored this way. Easily the greatest Senator to ever play the game and still has a few more years left in his legs. Hoping the team finds some extra energy this year knowing Alfie only has a few more chances to win it all.
for those of you can't get enough details on the financial meltdown this story sheds more light on how companies waged bets, exploited the markets, and 'got there' while taxpayers and investors ultimately ended up providing stakes to banks who accepted the odds or got slow rolled in the end.
So I became friends with a host at a local card game I used to play at every week a few months back. As a typical live player he knew relatively nothing about online play, or even poker in general, even though he hosted a game. That isnt to say he didnt dump $12,255 online as of today, but you get what I'm saying. So being the nice guy that I am, and one of the only live players I actually hang out with, I gave him the keys to the castle. I introduced him to cardrunners, dueces cracked, HEM, the forums, free e-books, retail e-books, the works. I just wanted to help a brotha out. Naturally he didnt do a damn thing with it and from that time he has lost an additional 3-4 grand, oh well, FAIL.
So I brought Holly (my wife) to his game one night for fun, and after we left for the night she immediately commented how she was suspicious the dealer and HIS wife, who also happens to play, were colluding. She just said they were in way too many pots raising each other till someone folded, then dumping hands on the river without a showdown. I disagreed simply b/c
1) they both suck
2) there are too many stations for them to successfully pull this off
Anyway, she actually told me she wouldnt even play there again she was so certain lol. Well, I didnt pay too much thought into it, although they do always sit directly across from each other. I dont know much about effective colluding so not sure what the most optimal situation would be.
So just moments ago Holly is looking up their PTR stats for a nice goodnight laugh, as they are pretty horrible, and even I laugh after how much info I shared with him to help them improve, and she notices that one of their accounts is a nemesis of the others in ring games. You can see how many hands you have played vs someone in PTR and it shows them at like 350 hands vs each other. What makes this even more damning is the fact that as I got to know this guy and he realized I knew a lot about online play, he actually began asking me if I knew how to cheat, and where to get poker bots to play lol. I reminded him even a building full of cray super computers cant play NLHE for shit, but now it's all falling into place.
Soooooo, what do you think? Are they cheating scum? What other reason would they be playing with each other online at the same tables for? Plus they have expressed an interest in cheating, they host their own home game, and holly already labeled them cheaters from the first night! Hmmmmmmzzzz.... Me personally, I dont think I'll ever play at their game again.
Oh yea, I was supposed to post pics of our new cars like weeks ago. If the weather didnt suck, I was too lazy, so here are some taken today!
Besides the fact you can't open more than 4 tables and their traffic is almost 0. Their system is terribad.

The low traffic means I know the players pretty well and have done good at PLO 50 recently. I also took 2nd in a 11 tourney for 81 as well today. I'm too lazy to set up HEM on my new comptuer(it's been 5 months). Put on some money on stars, been up and down. I plan to play almost every holdem and plo scoop-low event as well. Graduation will be in 3 weeks and then it will be mainly poker for the good part of 2 and half months. Gl all.
So whats new with me you ask... Well I finished my nursing program!!!!! Yay!!!!! I'm happy as fuck, now i just have to study for the final RN exam in October so I can work anywhere in Canada. Also I got one of the best tickets for the lady gaga concert when she shoves to Toronto on July 12. I also went to the Raptors game vs the Jazz were we lost by 30 point. Christ the raptors suck! Here's some pics of the basketball game. Toms also helping me a lot in poker, and I'm always learning a lot from him. Thanks Tom.
So the mission to grind this week for the new flat has succeeded even though I only played 3 sessions. The other 2 are my last 2 entries. Here is the third. Overall things have gone rather well.
guess im gonna break down and build a compby tooker, April 11
so im giving in and gonna take a stab at building a computer. Will the following stuff make a decent gaming computer that will also run hem, table ninja, stars/ftp, and firefox?

what to do :
Put the olive oil in the pan and make some heat.
Take your slice of bread and put it in the pan with the oil so that the bread soaks the oil
give it like 3-4 minutes till the bottom side of the bread slice is golden and crisp
Put a big amount of cheese on the top of the bread slice that is currently untouched.
good amount of salt over the cheese.
-> tricky part : Turn the bread slice around so that the cheese is melting at the bottom of the pan.
Give it 3-4 Minutes.
-> serve GG
In case u do it right there will be 4 different experiences of taste within 1 bite.
first some roasted crispy cheese -> then melted creamy cheese like on Pizza -> after that u get to notice the soft bread till u finally reach the crispy and golden bottom of your meal.
Easy to do + very tasty + not for people with weight problems.
well, seeing as this will probably be here longer than any of those stupid music hosting sites i join that disappear from time to time, im gona do this for my own reference ^.^
in no particular order, here are ten tracks that really stand out to me right now. i'll try to do this monthly or bi-monthly. ill also try to keep it current, most are, but not all ~_~
nope, absolutely no links for anyone to hear any of this, nor describing any of it, just names ^.^
1. Solarity - Red (Original Mix)
2. Med vs Neil Bamford - Stolen (Danilo Ercole Remix)
For those of you that don't know, I've been busy working on my airsoft gun site with Jas0n at http://www.airsoftgunsnow.com/, so I've been investing a lot of my time doing that. I can't really explain the shorter sessions though. I guess I'm just not cut out to ride the heaters.
Not sure what else to talk about, so I guess I'll leave it at that.
would this be good value for 600 dollars?
