I got a speeding ticket about 2 1/2 months ago doing "85+ in a 65", it happened at about 5:30 a.m.(still dark) on my way to work. I already called the Court and got my time extended to pay the ticket because I'm in the Marine Corps and I leave for Bridgeport California(cold weather training) this Saturday for a few weeks.

My question to you guys would be whats the Best way to get this ticket dismissed if i fight it. I know if i fight it and the cop doesn't show up to court it's a automatic dismissal. What should be my plan if he does decide to come to court and defend it?

Note: when the cop pulled me over i didn't argue or stand out in any way that would make him remember that specific ticket.

The Borgata Winter Open runs from January 20 - February 5th this year, with 24 events.

Borgata WPO

Due to prior comitments I am only able to play 5 events. They are:

Event 8 - Sun 1/24 - NLH (Re-Entry) - $300 + $50
Event 10 - Mon 1/25 - NLH Deep Stack - $500 + $60
Event 12 - Tue 1/26 - NLH 6H (Re-Entry) - $400 + $50
Event 14 - Wed 1/27 - NLH (Re-Entry) - $170 + 30
Event 16 - Thurs 1/28 - HU NLH (Double Elimination) - $2000 + $150

The Re-Entry tournaments at the Borgata WPO are defined as should a player bust within the first 3 levels of play, they may re-enter the tournament one time.

Total Buy-ins with Re-Entries = $4,710

I am looking to sell approximately 50% of myself with a 10% markup.

1% = $51.80
5% = $259.00
10% = $518.00

Any re-entry fee not used, or tournament not played due to making a Day 2 will be fully refunded.

Playing History:

Currently play HU SNG's between $115 - $345 buy-in.

So I'm thinking of getting this show and checking it out, but I'm confused. As a kid I remember seeing it on TV and thinking it was weird/stupid. This was like 15 years ago. Then it seems that a new version of the show came out which has had 4 seasons, and I've heard that this new version is good. But I really don't get what's going on and am too lazy to try and find the history.

Anyone who's seen the show and can explain if there were 2 different shows and so on, and whether seeing the older stuff is important or whether it's fine to just jump in on the new one that started in 2003, please let me know =)

Alright so i set up a rakeback account on ftp through liquid. I played a day and when i went to see my rake back page theres nothing on it. Is it cause im still clearing my deposit bonus or did something go wrong?

Also im done taking shots at one BI shots at HU -_- even tho ive had success in the past. Ima grind 6max starting from nl5, playing 20k hands each level before moving up limits.

Poll: What poker tracking software should I use?
(Vote): Poker Tracker 3

Poker Tracker 3 or Holdem Manager. I will look into using one when I move up to NL10.

Whew, finally finished up a fun exciting 11k Hand PLO50 session. I have been trying to learn the game of PLO lately and finally feel like I am seeing some improvement in my game. The whole PLO process has not been good to me so far but I feel like in the long run I will have learned alot and will pay off. I have played some in the past, a few tables only and had good results so naturally last month when I started playing I jumped into 5/10 6m PLO on Stars and ran well and was up +15k. Then came the running bad aspect of the game where I dumped it all back and was convinced I was good at the game but just running bad. Finally after losing about 40k playing 1/2-5/10 PLO I decided that a self-ban of limits for Omaha was in order and I setup a freeroll thru 2p2 that if I play higher then .50/1 PLO I would owe a bunch of people money. For some reason I cannot allow myself to play less then 24 tables when I do play (the whole vpp obsession thing I and many have). At first, not knowing really anything about the game, I was losing at a ridiculous rate but was also running pretty fucking terrible. I feel I am gradually progressing at the game though and am learning quite well. I really want to get SNE by July so I feel like learning to 24 table PLO profitably will be a huge, huge help to that overall goal and the money I may lose will be made up in the end. So I will be grinding the 25-50PLO games on Stars for January-February and working on improving my game. My self ban for 100-200PLO ends in March so then I should be able to take a shot at those games.

Here is my 11k hand PLO session I played this morning at 50PLO, I took a break down about 21BI and refocused, turned off my HUD and proceeded to crush. Actually ran at EV for one session finally, which has been rare in my experiences at the game so far.

As far as NL has been going this month, I have been doing fairly well. I am only allowed to play up to NL200 for awhile since I am not really rolled to play higher and am trying to focus on only playing 6max games, rather then mixing in full ring as well. Here is my graph so far for the month, missing about 10k hands, +1k profit from my other computer.

This is a mix of PLO and NL, all the money I am down is from PLO lol

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/08d86.dayyyyy.jpg


Current Hands for January5k
Current VPP: 35,144


I am in 4 Hand pools this month so I basically need to play 200k hands or I lose a few thousand so I will be getting it done no matter what


Thanks for reading the blog!!

its kinda funny that I made it onto the leaderboard solely playing $6.5 18 mans. just goes to show that the $16 regs are noobs kidding

so far this month i've played 1,083 SNGs in 42.9 hours with a 17.7%ROI....which gives me a solid $28.99/hour at the $6.5 18 mans. with supernova rakeback it bumps it up to $32/hour

I think i've got a pretty good grasp of 25nl metagame despite the small sample size of ~12k hands so i've started 6-8 tabling. Still kind of on track for my prop bet - i'm on 1.1k and i'm going to finish grinding a $100 bonus tomorrow. So 800 bux in 20 days, definitely doable at the rate i'm hitting my 2 outters. Probably going to dabble in 50nl when i hit 2k.

Anyways, i've decided to broaden my understanding of poker outside of NLH cash games and play some donkaments for shits and giggles. Atm i belong to the "wait until you have AA" school of Helmuth. I think this is a less than optimum approach. Can anyone recommend a website? or a book that gives me the fundamental mindset for MTTs? Goddamn cardrunners only have 6 max videos.

Just recently moved to 50nl on FTP and finding decent tables during the times I can play seems pretty hard - full of regs and the fishier tables have 3/4 people on wait lists?? I am UK based and play 4 am ET for a couple of hours and maybe 5pm ET - anyone play stars and have better options? Or has anyone played both and found they're basically the same? I know the times are crap but the only real options I have.....bring back Xmas holidays
