The hardrive on my old laptop just died so I'm looking to pick up a new one. It really only needs to do basic stuff including:
1) play the pokers (I usually go hud-less on my lappy to mix it up, but ability to run hem or pt3 would be nice)
2) internets
3) export to tv - preferably with hdmi out so I can export to a hd tv at decent quality .
4) excel
I expect I should be able to get one reasonably priced with such low requirements. Budget isn't an issue, but it seems I shouldn't have to go much higher than 600 and 1k+ seems like overkill unless someone gives me a good reason. Then again I'm not sure why I shouldn't even get something for around 300. I'm likley going to just look for something on fatwallet or slickdeals, or do bingcashback on tigerdirect, and or even just grab a refurb off delloutlet. I'm not sure how low I should go with specs though before I get into issues.
Any tips? Also wtf is a netbook - is that what I want here?
I wanna sign up for a one month subscription at DC to download some videos. However I can't pay by credit card so the minimum subscription I'm allowed is a 6 month one. I was wondering if anyone can subscribe for me and I'll xfer the money either through PS or paypal. Thanks.
Just played STT where I shoved EVERY handby vlseph, April 03
I got bored and signed up for a $3.30 PS STT (non-turbo)... I decided I would shove every single hand. I made it to HU vs an opponent who had about 1500 chips entering HU LOL.
On the hands highlighted blue, those are hands I won. I also wrote a number in picture 1 every time I knocked someone out. I realized after I that I couldn't have knocked out 8 people at the time (I would have won), so treat #4+5 as one knock out (I thought I knocked out two people but it was only one). So basically, every big pot you see me win in picture one is me knocking out a person who decided to call a shove preflop.
I'm still LOLing.

Last hand I lost obv, it was funny reading all the shit I got in chat from the fish. A couple of them stayed around til HU and challenged me to $300 HU or something, but I declined since I had friends coming over and I didn't have $300 on PS anyway. I still can't believe I cashed in 2nd simply by shoving every hand, it was funny reading all the whines while playing though.
Does anyone know how to make the tables i'm wait listed on highlight on ftp?
I've spent a good 10 minutes googling and searching through the options - god i hate it so much when i see some promising tables but find that i am already waitlisted on them :
So I live with two room mates in a pretty nice upper middle class neighborhood in the states. I am a huge fan of scary movies and have watched probably every notable one to date so I am quite paranoid about people breaking into my house and murdering and torturing us, more so then taking our vast amount of valuables. But last night something happened it was very hard to explain...I woke up in the exact same position with a dude with a knife over me like ten times in a row and I couldn't move and i tried to scream for help but no one heard even though my buddies room is next door. After all of that repeated many times in a row I woke up in the exact same position that I was in after it happened but the guy with a knife was not there. I am crazy.
I had dual monitors and HEM isolated to monitor #2. I removed a monitor and now have 1 monitor, and HEM keeps vanishing off to the fucking side acting like theres a 2nd monitor. Anybody know how to fix this shit? I cant click a fucking thing.
What's up all, this month was ez breezy, didn't play that much due to being a slave to my government(Marine Corps) but this month was successful non-the-less. I love FTP but more specifically RUSH. Myself and a buddy(Syntax on LP) started studying poker in more depth and are learning a ton. You learn exponentially faster with somebody at your skill set or better watching you play/talking about hands that go on. It's probably the most +EV thing a Online poker player can do, besides invest in PT3/HEM
Just reaffirming the fact that NL25 is impossible. Down 8 BI, 3 BI under EV.
Playing a solid game but I just keep running into coolers and suckouts. Had 2 green sessions before today but seem to be suddenly doomswitched. Every time I got my stack in, the pot went the other direction.
List check:
Ran KK into AA x4
AKs vs AA x1
AKs vs QQ x1
Set beaten by Overset postflop x2
Various payoffs with overpair/sets canceling out with shorties hitting flushes on river.
Back down to NL10 to regrind enough to get back up.

playing at ftp and 2 eurodonk sites. i seem to be running "normal" there.
stars is just so fucking rigged lately, below ev is the normal session and if i run above ev for jst a fcuking day, u can be sure the next session or two will totally obliterate any kind of profit made and if i tilt , could even lose more than what i heatered. its been almost a year now and ive had it with the patience and the mindfuck of this site,also i see these new regs who are terrible at the game but make a lot of money hitting shit and getting action nonstop, while in my case i miss a bet or deviate from my usual tight game and i get freerolled for a 1 or two outer it's just so fucking sick already! been getting coaching but it seems that it's only good for breaking even still, so fuck that. good luck to all regs coz you just lost one patient fish in that god forsaken site. goodbye stars. fuck vpps. out.
still gonna continue trying to improve but never playing this shit again. really bad for my confidence.
