Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has completely consumed the time that used to be dedicated to poker. I just got the game 8 days ago and I'm already hooked like none other. I think I've picked it up fast. My first 5 days I was like a 0.5 k/d, now I'm >2 over the last few days. In fact I just had a beautiful 35-0 game in which 4 of the kills were with a knife because I ran out of ammo with my primary and secondary (only like 18 of the kills were killstreak).
I can tell I pretty much won't rest until I can get my K/d to 3. Is anyone else as obsessed with this game as I am? If so, share how you like to play. For those that are interested here's my style:
though now that I can get 7 kill streaks somewhat regularly without the predator, I am going to switch to:

Now excuse me while I grind GROOOOOUUUUND WARRRR (the only way to play imo)
hey everyone, i decided to write another blog. i've noticed lately that my ability to write has deteriorated significantly, and blogging is a nice way to curb boredom.
poker has been going okay. i was offered a backing deal in october of '09, and started playing the $26 and $75 45-mans on ftp, as well grinding 100NL and MTTs. i crushed immediately, which was surprising as i had limited experience playing 45-mans, particularly non-turbos. around mid-december i dedicated myself to moving up to 1/2, and got absolutely destroyed. i ran 2k under EV and most likely played my C game for most of the month. i took a few weeks off and tried again with similar results, eventually busting my ftp account. fortunately, i won about 5k in MTTs on stars, so i wasn't totally busto. unfortunately, i was feeling depressed and unmotivated, and wasn't putting in the necessary hours to remedy my situation. my backer was doing poorly on ftp as well, so he was unable to reload my bankroll, thus putting me in an awkward situation. since then, i've been grinding on stars with reasonable success in the $16-$38 18-mans. this week they're running the "super sit-ng-gos", which are non-turbo 40-mans with a bonus if you win. i'm extremely excited about this as the structure is similar to the ftp 45-mans, but with antes which is obviously even better. i played a bunch of them yesterday, and was able to win two of the $22s, but sadly fell short in the $55s with two disappointing second place finishes.
outside of poker, i've been enjoying the new beach house album, watching a lot of basketball, and even had the pleasure of seeing lebron and shaq up close with seats right behind the cavs bench vs. the grizz a few weeks back. shaq and jj hickson were waving at these two groupies in the row directly in front of us, which was totally awesome. i dug it. also, i saw the band polysics live a few days ago, they're absolutely amazing and hilarious. i would reccomend seeing them perform, even if their genre of music isn't appealing to you.
well, that's about it. good luck to everyone in the $4 million this week. i hope to culminate a week of solid grinding with a big cash, so i can be rich again!
Completely unrelated title, thats a drop on a local sports station that i listen to. 1310 the ticket. Lately i've been on a heater, haven't had this much success pokerwise in a while. No charts since i'm on cake, but my showdown winnings are probably through the roof. Since my comeback i've only made 2 calls at showdown which i regret. I'm feeling very confident in my play and don't need to make any changes. All in all i get in about 5-7 hours a week, during study hall and during my personal finance class. However, i recently became an RA, and i have to work 6 hours a week. And when i say "work" i mean sit at a desk and be bored for 6 hours! I don't have to do much. Last sunday i got bored so i played MW2 for 3 hours after i worked on some homework. EZ lyfe.
This should give me about 10 hours a week, which is cool with me. So far i've turned my $3.99 in rakeback from when i went busto, and turned it into $42.67 in about 8 hours of play in about 2 weeks.
Baseball wise i had another good weekend, not what i did the prior weekend, but still good. 10 hits given up, 2 runs scored, got the win, 9-2, pitched 6 and 1/3 innings, kinda upset i didn't go the distance (it was a 7 inning game)...but i'm happy with the win.
so far, 2 games started, 2-0 with 1.13 ERA. This weekend, going to Austin, Texas and playing Huston Tillotson, then next weekend we open up conference play in Plaineview against Wayland Baptist.
Anyway, thats it for now
watching the first two games of the hockey here, and would like to share my impressions thus far:
most importantly, U S A
USA looked alright off the bat. Swiss missed two open net goals, which means the game could have easily been 3-3. This is not good. The US offense looks better than I ever remember seeing it, and our goaltending should be pretty solid considering we have three of the best performing goaltenders in the NHL. I'm hoping that they were a little rusty today, and if they continue to improve throughout the tournament they have a real chance. It's also worth mentioning that Switzerland is generally an under-rated team imo.
Canada
Where to start with these shitheads. First off, the great Dominion of Canada seems to like to go throwback style when it comes to hockey tournaments. They take the old British line of trying to screw everyone else. It seems like every time there is a hockey tournament in Canada these scumbuckets try as hard as they can to rig it so that they will have as close to a cakewalk as possible into the Gold Medal. This way they can be the "champions" despite fielding a bunch of mediocre goons. Fortunately they're playing possibly the weakest team in the field (Norway) and couldn't even score in the first period, so things are looking alright. Having notorious chumps like Eric Staal on the squad over grizzled veterans like Shane Doan is a joke at best. How these idiots could let Yzerman pick the unit is pretty laughable.
I mean, this guy basically has the "Nursing Home" defensive line of Niedermeyer and Pronger. It's going to be a competition to see which one has a heart attack on ice first. Then he goes and picks a bunch of fan favorites on the offensive side rather than players who actually have offensive output. Rick Nash, good player? Yep. Playing better than Shane Doan this past year? No fuckin way. Let's not forget Shane Robidas, only the most prolific scoring defensemen in the NHL right now. Nahhhh, fuck it, we'll just have Neider and Pronger out there, in this new politically correct environment the new rules will allow them to spin their wheelchairs around the ice.
St. Louis is also a questionable omission from the lineup. It's obvious they won't take him because he is little (and possibly beacuse Yzerman hates francophones), but the guy puts up numbers, and in the olympic game playing against teams like Russia, speed is important.
Basically Canada is a bunch of jerkoffs and is destined to finally end their hockey reign of terror despite being cheater scumbag losers, who couldn't pick a good coach if their lives depended on it.

Funniest thing to happen tonight, lol. That is all.
at least i worked on my nsd-winnings.. now let me run as expected and itll look sweet ^_^
Also a mate invited me to his private cashgame after he ordered 2 nice pokertables - where we play .5/1€ sh.. some of our girls do the dealers.. pretty nice setup and also incredibly profitable :D
played 2 nights so far and made 290€ the first and 120€ the second night .. its a lot of talk and drink etc. but luckily for me he knows lots of guys who play and got money that ive never seen around so it doesnt feel bad to take their money haha^^
so i figured out how to fix it, assuming ur smrter than the average bear and kept a backup
1) openoffice
2) rename to .txt
3) find and replace using regular expressions
with
(spacebar)(forward slash)t
4) match the early and late file formatting i.e. all the stuff up to the first note, keeping the (spacebar)(forward slash)t that is there, then at endfile keep the last two instances paired, then manual carriage return.
dun!!!!
it 100% breaks if you open it with a text editor and save it with word-wrap on or change the hexbase to ansii or woteva
Downswing reached 9.6k and which drops my roll below 16k so I am moving down to 200nl for the rest of the month. Bright side is the last session just now I felt like I played really good poker for the first time in a while. But ran 1.3k below ev as well as running JJ into QQ, QQ into KK, set into straight, and getting overset. Kinda hard to make money when that occurs. Going in really confident that I will be able to dominate 200nl for the rest of the month.
SNES, GBA games to play on emuby Night2o1, February 16
My laptop doesn't have a dedicated gfx card, so its gaming potential is very limited. I can do reallllly low-spec 3d games but they aren't very enjoyable due to low FPS. So, give me some recommendations for games that don't require GFX cards. GBA and SNES games are good.
I have all of the most famous RPGS for SNES, so I don't really need any RPG suggestions. Platformers are good. I'd like some GBA game ideas especially.
"Today Google was awarded US Patent No. 7,664,751 for its invention of Variable User Interface Based on Document Access Privileges, which the search giant explains can be used to restrict what Internet content people can see 'based on geographical location information of the user and based on access rights possessed for the document.' From the patent: 'For example, readers from the United States may be given "partial" access to the document while readers in Canada may be given "full" access to the document. This may be because the content provider has been granted full rights in the document from the publisher for Canadian readers but has not been granted rights in the United States, so the content provider may choose to only enable fair use display for readers in the United States.' Oh well, at least Google is 'no longer willing to continue censoring [their] results on Google.cn.'"
FUCK YOU GOOGLE you are becoming a piece of shit jsut like the rest of big faggot companies. We need to resist this google taking over the internet and playing a police. OMFG were heading the wrong way.
i'm sitting here in my underwearby sawseech, February 16
it's 7am on tuesday. i've just woken up. my sleeping pattern is, understandably, a disaster. i think that i slept for 14 hours.
i was just smoking a cigarette in the bathroom. for no identifiable reason i started thinking about a hand that was recently posted in the midstakes forum.
the hand went as follows:
hero opens i think k8o otb.
villain defends
K8x
kbc
low pairing brick?
kk
total brick
brR
hero was disturbed and probably folded, and the act of folding ruined his day
he went on to post the hand in the forum.
at the time i had no particular thoughts on the hand. i do now. the hand is irrelevant.
there is no particular action that we can take on the river that is better than the other. no action alters our avatar in the eyes of the opponent. the inverse applies, unless we call and our opponent shows 6 high.
therefore we call immediately and move on to the next hand and usually with no alteration in game dynamic.
it's 7:11. i started to have a panic attack at approx 6:58. it has passed.
