a quick thought experiment - might be interesting if you share my views. i would probably look down upon people who buy glossy magazines to keep up to date with salacious gossip and scandalous stories concerning what's happening in the personal lives of a-list celebrities. i might think of people who indulge in that kind of thing as vulgar proles. yet i might think nothing of people interested in poker who follow gossip concerning who is winning and losing big in the nosebleed games on hsdb, or stories of what's going down in macau. are these two things the same thing, and is there inconsistency in my views? or are they different and if so, why?
if you know C++, click this for quick $64by bigredhoss, January 23
i have a random $64 on paypal, if anyone can complete and send this code bug-free while following my criteria within 3 hours of posting this, it's yours. most of the code is already done.
it is a gas tank moniter. there's a constructor that creates a gas tank holding 20 gallons, which is empty upon creation. there's a function to fill it and return #gallons filled, a function to use the gas and return #gallons used, and a function telling the user how many gallons are left in the tank. there's also a function to tell when the fuel is getting low, which is when there are <= 5 gallons left.
1. basically, the switch cases are wrong/incomplete, and probably a couple bugs somewhere else in the code. there should be an output something like:
Gallons filled tank 1 -> 20
Gallons filled tank 2 -> 5
fuel OK
Low fuel light
gallons left -> 4
Gallons filled tank 1 -> 16
Gallons filled tank 2 -> 0
2. add whatever functions/variables are needed but don't change any of the class constructors/variables/functions, and don't make any of the currently private class data public. i don't care if you think it looks shitty, leave the basic structure of the program the same.
3. don't add your own comments or remove any of mine.
4. don't import any additional libraries.
sorry for the shitty formatting, idk how to get the code to format the way it appears in codeblocks.
int fillTank(int gasUp){ // Put gas in the tank, tell us how much was ACTUALLY put in the tank
if (gasUp + currentFuelLevel > MAX_FUEL_LEVEL){
int fuelMissing = MAX_FUEL_LEVEL - currentFuelLevel;
currentFuelLevel = MAX_FUEL_LEVEL;
return fuelMissing;
}
else if (currentFuelLevel == MAX_FUEL_LEVEL){ // Tank is already full
return 0;
}
else{
currentFuelLevel += gasUp; // Put gas in the tank
return gasUp;
}
}
int getTankCapacity(){
return MAX_FUEL_LEVEL;
}
int getFuelLevel(){ // Return the gas level in the tank
return currentFuelLevel;
}
int used(int gasOut){ // Take gas out of the tank
if (currentFuelLevel - gasOut <= 0){
currentFuelLevel = 0;
return 0;
}
else{
currentFuelLevel -= gasOut;
}
}
bool isFuelLow(){ // Toggle the low-fuel light
if (currentFuelLevel <= lowFuelLevel)
return true;
else
return false;
}
};
void main()
{
int gallonsUsed;
int gallonsIn;
int menuOp;
Gastank tank1; // Object to point to class function
tank1.fillTank(3);
Gastank tank2(5);
tank2.fillTank(5);
Is poker tracker best program?by HungarianGOD, January 23
Hey guys,
I have gotten to play heads-up against a couple somewhat strong players recently, so I want to purchase a program to help get stats and analyze hands. I used an old version poker tracker a while back, and thought it was fairly good. Is there something better that you guys would suggest? I will probably move to studying PLO in a few months, so perhaps something that is helpful PLO would be desirable as well. What program would you suggest picking up now?
Hey guys, I wanted to let the LP know that 888 poker and WSOP.com just merged in NJ, my friend told me last night.
Going a week every month to grind there now myself. CG's run to 5/10+, MTT pools are now finally right solid.
Also, I asked Tony (AC pokerbuddyetc), if this was true. He said on the website, it says "coming early 2015" He confirmed this is all real. (got image off twitter)
In the start of 2014, they said nothing would happen with online poker, but in 2015 we should expect big things in the USA. This is a very good sign.
New Jerseys not too far from me, be there Feb 6-13th, if any LPers are near AC, let me know.
Goin to give her a whirl.
Playing a mixture of anything profitable these days, nothin to brag about, been consistently..... bad! KJss, grinding up ACR from $100, should be in some good games really soon Its been a fun grind, had a really swingy tough month.
I was too stubborn in one of my sessions...I took at shot at 25 w/ like 385 and left with 190ish, that was my one mistake this month, that was like a week ago... started on the 10th this month (moving sucks in the winter)
Ok enough rambles
Hope u guys are great,
wish you all the best
found a great game selection,
Cheap MTTs and those cheap on demand SNG's, with rb and the beast on that, its actually a really good route for me to take. Solid daily, low risk, high reward, stack the cash, then play big again whenevz, no rush. stakers there if i need em. they rape ya tho, time to do 100% to the tip top.
I was playing WAYYYY to loose, and I needed to play a month of CG's, this has definitely been a month where I've learned more than I feel I've ever taken in, in months past.
Patched a few big leaks in my game that were bad habits for about 2 years and they just worked for the last 1.5 years and feel really good with where my game is and where its heading.
time to get back among the top players.
working hard studying hard
Heh, banned myself from table games because that shit be my kryptonite. I'm not mega degen but I know I was on the path to the dark side. Banned myself for 90 days and not going dabble in black jack/ pai gow until summer. I would sometimes go to pai gow or black jack after a losing session from my live pokers and be like in fuck it mode, probably resulted in an increase loss of a couple thousand or a tad more. I just want to make sure I don't mix too much play at where I "work" for my monies.

Not going, not gonna figure out how to fix the logistics. However, gonna try to catch it on TV. Here's my early picks:
UFC Sweden picks
Gus vs Johnson
Gus wins easy if Johnson shows up anything less then 100%, if Johnson is in shape and mentally all there I think Gus still is the favorite, but not that big of one. Johnson looked scary against Nog but he has had a shit six months with legal trouble and looking overweight at various times. Johnson by early KO or Gus by finish. I think Gus win early if Johnson is out of shape and late if he is, I also feel that Johnson is drawing very slim if the fight goes past the half way mark.
Gun to my head I go by Gus by TKO.
Old man Hendo vs Mousasi
Mousasi should win. Will probably be a bit careful since he really can't lose this if he wants to still be in the top of the division. Probably more or less unbettable odds so if I were to bet I would probably just go for the over if there's any decent odds on that. Or Mousasi by sub, hit that against Munoz and Mousasis sub line seems to be farily decent in most fights.
Davis vs Bader
I'm with sherdog here, Bader seems like he's better standing and should be able to keep it on his feet. Davis tends to get wins he shouldn't really get though, I'd go with whoever is a decent sized dog. Slightly favor Bader I think.
Akira vs Sicilia
Akiras last fights:
Got KO'd by Holloway in a fight he looked better then expected in for 3 min before he got hit with a decent punch and just straight lost.
Got TKO'd by Poirier who's a fairly legit top fighter 42 seconds into the 2nd round. Looked as good as you can look while getting finished that fast.
Got a DQ win against Maximo “Brainfart” Blanco 25 seconds into the first round. I have not seen the fight, but it sure didn't take him long to get in a position to get stopped by an illegal knee.
Took a boring ass decision against Robbie Peralta, thereby losing me money and ~20 minutes of my life that I'm never getting back. Peralta looked like absolute horse shit even for a part time fighter and nothing close to his regular self.
Won a split decision against Andy Ogle who then went on to lose 3 out of his next 4 only winning against Josh “0-3 in his last fights leading up to the fight” Grispi in a fight I for one can't recollect. I think someone thought it was a robbery but I really can't recall it.
Before that he was doing decently fighting and less so as a TV personality on a season of TUF from which he'll be remembered as a poor man's Julian “Just let me bang” Lane talking about how he came from the streets of Gothenburg, a city most famous for it's horrible word jokes and the fact that most of the population (including girls) are named “Glenn”. Before the TUF stint he came straight from getting KO'd by Paul Reed, a journeyman with a 21-12 record who at the time came from a KO-loss against some Polish guy I've never heard of and went on to lose against Martin Svensson, probably the tallest fucking featherweight in the world who did not make it either on the TUF trial (mostly because no one thought he'd be able to cut the weight) or the Swedish Masterchef.
Now, you might think that I do not rate Akira very highly and that might even be true, but on the other hand he's a though SOB and I think most of his KO's comes from his nose being bust. At least it looks that way. He also has some nice footwork and hits harder then his record of just one KO suggests. As long as he's up against people who let's him bang he makes it a fight until he breaks the nose and he's fairly decent at getting decisions due to good output.
Sam Sicilia is a decent fighter who tends to lose against real good fighters (Rony Jason) and win against lower level guys. Most of his wins comes by KO.
I'd go with Sicilia by KO if he happens to connect or Akira by dec if he can keep from getting hit in the face too much. As far as I can tell they have a combined one decision loss so even though I have a sneaky feeling that Akira might squeeze past him my brain really feels like Sicilia will win by KO.
Musoke vs Tumenov
My pick for fight of the night. Tumenov is real good standing and Musoke is fairly good with a hell of a chin and good pace. Not sure about the outcome or what the odds might be but I'd probably lean Musoke if he still was with Allstars but as it stands I wouldn't bet on this unless either fighter is a fairly decent dog.
Robertson vs Aliev
No idea
Ogle vs Amirkhani
No idea, no idea why Ogle is still in the promotion for that matter. Seems like a nice guy but is more or less a poor man's Akira
Taisumov vs Christodoulou
No idea, go with the Russian I guess?
Pesta vs Erokhin
Pesta might be a killer in some time, he looks real good, but Erokhin is a bad MF and I think it's too early. Erokin wins.
Bektic vs Omer
Bektic is a good prospect, unsure about Omer.
Seery vs Beal
Really impressed by Seery as a part time fighter. Beal not so much, although he seems more gifted as an athlete.
Poker
Everything went well until today, which was a utter shit session. Gonna see if I can 4tbl 1/2 zoom for a while and actually pay attention. Annoyed in general I guess, poker doesn't seem like it's in the mood to give me a break. It's probably just that I suck though, so it's fine. Gonna get better.
Life Update - Canada/USAby Ryan Neilly, January 15
Hey guys,
A couple weeks ago, I moved back from Vancouver. It was alright up there, I did 1 month not staked and won like 7k that month, didn't do much else, hung out with lostaccount (Johnnylaydownboy) a lot, Vancouver's one helluva city, was a great time. Won 4.2 in another and a bunch of 1ks, the prize pools are 50% now, it sucks playing for 1/2 of what your used to.
So I got back home, got myself a nice place and am just gonna grind the casino here and ACR for now, prolly add bodog in a couple weeks.
Game selection has been 100% cashgames since November with the exception of that 215 5m gntd and 1-2 other mtt's.
Starting to want to play them again a little bit, I'll play em when I desire them again a lil bit, never for a living again though.
Plan is NL25 + NL200 + Homegames for making a living in the states, stack cash off 25 til June, then most to nl50 very overrolled and just crush out 40-80 hours a week w/ the beast.
Things have been going ok so far, I took december off for the most part and the first week of this month just hangin with mah girl
I played a lil cash games in Canada, but mostly just MTTs and relaxed a lot, John spent tons of time teaching me a new perspective, I see the game totally different now business wise and hourly wise, it was definitely one of the most enlightening poker trips of my life, although one of the toughest, the games were also a lil tough, I just didn't care to grind on stars, I should have left after about 2.5 months I had no passion to play up there anymore, its just not worth it for me leaving the country, loved ones and friends to play poker.
I had like $109.55 in my account when I got home.
No reason to redeposit a penny, I had to pay for a place, all that kinda stuff. Got expensive fast.
Restarted at NL10.
Here is last years cashgame play - im a BR nit now u guys have no idea, ask john, i wont play some shit with tons of bi's... my only degen moves now are re jamming rivers.
oh some screen shots for records and yah im gonna devote this year to cashgames, NL25 (nl50 by June hopefully) - 6-9 hours a day, look to make top of beast a few times and just grind out the hourly. I tend to do very well in the NL10/NL25 games so far, I'm very confident I should be beating 50 now after the Canada trip, my game has come a long way, as it always does on a poker trip. Its like a hyperbolic time chamber. Fastest 4 months of my life.
John was awesome as a host, he helped me with rides like everywhere, was very cool caring and there when I was in a city where you can't trust anyone. He had my back, let me play on my own for a while, then i won a nice mtt and he rebacked me so I could pay him off and put away $ for when I needed to go home.
Now I'm back on my own again lol
John and I worked together like 5 years, If I ever wanted to MTT again, like had he passion to care to do it, we would work together, theres just 0% passion for MTT's after so many years of not making it to the 10k scene etc, struggling past the 162s online, and having my biggest scores being 20ks etc, so many chances at so many big scores, mtts just fucking suck. lol. stupid that i got off track with them so long, but they kept me afloat long enough to learn to actually play, so its all +ev I guess.
Did a few live sessions in Vancouver, pretty much just crushed every session, although I didn't play many sessions. John sat with me one day, he just said I was to determined, pretty much unbeatable lol. i don't care the stakes. we had some fun bluffs that day. hes one silent ninja. i talk non stop and keep ppl off there game with my mouth edge + hands played in career etc, usually know my flop turn riv actions ahead where they have to think, its a good weapon if u use it right... I'm still learning to use it right though. So much shit you can do to people and exploit later with the power of words. My table presence is at an all time high. That always feels good.
The real reason I just love grinding CG's is every hour I put in online, The local 1/2-2/5 games (hopefully be in these soon), where you can make roughly 5 bills a day at 1/2 just sittin grinding around 9 hours. Its a very good game, I'm lucky to have the poker room so close to my house.
No rush with the online BR, but def wanna get to 1k asap so I can move up to 25.
Still be doing the big mtts like the $500 1m gntd etc, not gonna miss stuff like that, just insanely tired of all the years of 15 hours a day, not worth trading my life for anymore lol I'll load one up when I' really want to take one down I imagine as well.
Actually like ACR MTT's since the fields are so small.
They haven't been hitting overlays, I've looked, just haven't cared to play one yet.

guys i need to grind coffee beansby bigredhoss, January 13
i went to the store and bought a bag of coffee, but when i got home i realized FUCK they're whole beans, not ground, and i don't have a coffee grinder.
so i tried crushing them with a heavy hardcover book, didn't work very well. then i tried stomping on them with a thin cloth wrapped around the bag, still didn't work. then i tried going outside and backing over them with my car, still didn't work.
starbucks and carribou coffee are closed here at this hour, i have no other options...what can i do
Well graphs are always fun, it's been a good start to 2015. I'm still just trying as hard as I can to make sure I take the time to study as much as I play. Despite what Lemon wrote in his blog, I think it's an important aspect of the game . I guess the difference between us is that I'm not constantly trying to re-write the rules of the game as he might describe it. One thing I've noticed over my time playing is that it can be very difficult to find out if any one particular thing you are doing is working. Sample size is challenging and variance is huge. The best you can hope for is to correctly apply concepts you know to be theoretically correct and then wait for a couple 100k hands to go by to see if it turned out how you thought, but heck, that's actually pretty fun to do.
In terms of other stuff I'm doing I've gained a little bit lately from work/thesis/poker and not being quite as active as I want so I'm stepping up my gym routine to take off those 20 pounds and get back to normal. If anyone hasn't done it I find Hot Yoga to be absolutely phenomenal. A great thing to add into your standard routine of lifting/HIIT cardio sprints. I'm trying to find the optimal balance but my life is very time limited so we'll see!
