All kind of weird shit is happening from stripes all over the screen to simply frozen actual image to complete blackout or random white squares.
Most of the time I restart, but sometimes the PC restarts itself.
I don't think I have to tell you how much this tilts me, I had this, before that a virus (newly installed AVG found 3 trojans and 5 other viruses lolz) and a Generic host for win32 processes bug (shuts down internet every 10 minutes, I spent about 15 hours trying to get rid of that shiz.
wsop event 13 update- barryG 2 to my right!by I_run_godlike, June 15
I ended up busting with BarryG at lvl 5 when he shoved a fish's limp w/ ATo and I reshipped w/ AJo for 4kish at 100/200/25 and the fish snapped w/ AQdd.
Here are some remarkable hands that happened.
There was an old rock, literally only plays QQ+ AK directly to my left.
50/100
mp limped, I had about 8k and looked down AKo from sb and pumped it up to 500, the old rock min 3bet to 1.1k and mp folded. Back to me and I looked at his stack and saw he had 3k left so I decided to just shove and be happy with it. To my surprise, he folded, which is nice.
just 2 orbits later, I picked up AA from co and there were 3 ppl limped, I made it 800 (50/100 still) and the old nit instant 3bet to 2400 (now he had 4.3k behind), everyone folded and I looked at his stack the same way I did in the AK hand (cuz he had a water bottle right next to his chips) and announced all in again, obv with expectation of getting snapped by his QQ or KK or whatever he 3bets me with. The rock then tanked and tanked and tanked for literally almost 5 mins and then open mucked KK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's like the worst beat in my tournament poker life. I really don't know how he managed to 3bet/fold KK pre when he already put in 1/3 of his stack in and to a guy who 4b shoved on him 2 times in 3 orbits?!?!!?. I obv didn't show my hand to make him feel he made the right play; but seriously, how did he do that?
Another interesting hand was that I opened 99 at 50/100 from hj and both blinds called.
Flop came Q43r and it went checked around. Turn was a diamond 8 which put 2 diamonds on the board. small blind (i have no read on him cuz he just sat down but looks like a donk) led 600 into around 1k. bb folded and I called. River was a diamond 7 and he made a fairly weak bet around 1200. I decided to turn my made hand into bluff and was hoping he'd fold his weak Q. I raised to 3850 and he instant called and I obv thought I was dead. I turned over my 99 and he nodded his head saying...omg...well played sir! nice read! and then he turned over A7! omg, what did I get myself into? why are these ppl playing wsop events?!?!
Anyhow, just after my AA couldn't get paid off by KK, I started to go on downhill and lost a big pot aipf w/ AK vs QQ and didn't win the flip. Then there was the barryg hand that busted me.
Conclusion: just another standard tournament that I felt like I played pretty well but keep being on the wrong side of the variance.
so i cashed out & decided to restart from nl2. got to nl10 and had a bad run.
then doctor prescribed me pills for a cough i had. yesterday was playing nl10, won 1 buyin, was absolutely euphoric and then in the gayest setups i ended up being down 2 that night. so i really wanted to die and got all depressed and oh noes my world will end. im breaking out in cold sweats from what i assume is cold truth dawning on me that i've forgotten how to play poker.
anyway i check the fucking side effects of this medicine i've been taking and yes, it lowers your concentration and gives you dramatic mood swings totally out of character as well as making your highly irritable.
bastards. i'd rather have not taken the stupid pills. too late now i have 3 days left and u have to lower dose otherwise its dangerous.
PRESNISOLONE - dont take this shit
im also hungry as fuck ALL THE TIME and sleeping constantly.
first losing session in foreverby jasper5408, June 15
and by forever i mean 5 days. after being up about 9-10 buy ins, i had my first losing session today. i mean i sorta deserved it cause my ego was at its peak. anyway, made a few minor mental errors and lost King high flush vs Ace high flush. Not to frustrated or sad about it. i thought i played over all well, and losing taught me something.
anyway i was just wondering if anyone wanted to talk nl 25 strategy. i feel like its one thing to be able to beat nl 25, and quite a good exercise to figure out how to cream nl 25. i have a few ideas i want to run with ppl, and i think these ideas are utilized in nl 50 or nl 100. obviously it's nothing special but its always cool when you discover it and figure it out by yourself versus being spoon fed information.
on other news, i decided to reinstall StarCraft and wouldn't mind someone re introducing the game to me. If your down. And if your more down, play SC while discussing how to cream nl 25 would be ideal. lol.
i decided i need to stop drinking red bull cold turkey because im tired of the ups and downs. but i have some leftover so i decided i will binge tonight in order to finish it off. starting #6 now tonight and my eyes feel like they are going to pop out of my skull this is pretty cool.
so finished watching the game with a few of my buddies, just taking a few seconds to write down some thoughts.
man the lakers really kept their motivation. i thought it was a spectacular game...if you were a laker fan. their defense killed us, and their motivation/energy was high the entire game. and kobe was just disgusting. for the 2-3 quarter my heart really sunk, cause there was slim ass chance for the magic to win.
congratulations to the lakers, specifically kobe and phil.
also i'm proud of the magic.
-good job to the highest winning season we've ever had
-congrats to stan on getting some recognition (since pat riley stole all of it when the heat won it all)you've done an awesome job
-we won our first finals game
-glad jameer got to play in the finals, he was such a baller until the shoulder injury
some other thoughts
-we prob lose gortat/hedo
-dwight needs to come back stronger next year
-sign rasheed wallace
finally got to play some live , fun times. only +1 bi or so tho
5bet shoved 78ss and got a fold vs one of the nittiest regs ever cause i put him squarely on QQ/kk. he turbo folded.
5bet shoved KQo 2 BI's deep and got assfucked by AA because i thought he was 4b bluffing me light, then i realized he was a super nit.
ALAS IT WAS TOO LATE.
small beat: had to W/D a few BI's for rl monies.
beat: have to go to kate vogul concert with GF
bigger beat: cant get drunk there because im driving
biggest beat: its so fucking hot here how do you americans survive +30 celcius weather? its +2o and i want to move to the north pole
oh and people like graphs. here's this weekends -_-;;. spewed 2 BI's or so trying to build image vs regs who i think will be at nl200
will play more tonight i guess. gonna take a nl200 shot soon, but i might want an 8K br instead.. i dunno : too early in the month. I've only been at nl200 for like 2 weeks or so i think
agreed to play some fish HU todayby egood, June 14
was playing 25nl and sucked out on this fish he challenged me to .25/.50 hu deep. thought I had a pretty good edge so i was like w/e. turned out to be a disaster. got QQ vs his AA and KK vs his AA, got sucked out on a bunch of times too, lost about $300 to him. def not worth it. gonna take me forever to grind it back, ugh

this is only good if you play all your hands like this. But you're not gonna be in such easy spots so often, so youre gonna have to have pretty good postflop play to move people off their hands when you miss.
By the way the only "good" part would just be mixing up your postflop play. Flatting queens is a terrible idea no matter who you're against. Dont take his preflop action to suggest you're already behind and now queens are only worth set-mining. You need to RAISE that shit up at every opportunity.
This is good on very many levels, playing QQ like this a decent % of the time is great against anyone. You don't need to play all your hands like this. Not having a wide value range makes you much easier to play against
Please don't give advice here anymore sir, unless you are trying to make hero play worse?
yea that's right, not only did TT compliment my play he referred to me as hero.
/braggggggggg
lol newayz...
To the magic:
I know you have the worst fucking fans in the world (minus a few hardcore fans), i know your down 1-3 against the pre-season favorites to win it all, i know facing kobe kinda sucks :/, but please, please don't let it end tonight. Not here on our floor.
Why i think the magic will win tonight:
-they will have some pride, and make sure we don't lose at home
-the lakers almost have it in the bag, they can take a game off and win at home
-we have the lucky girl who sings the national anthem today (so far 7-0 when she sings)
-i trust u van gundy, you're probably the best coach the magic has ever hired
anyway good job magic for reaching it to the finals (no one thought you could!), and all i can ask is for you to postpone la's celebration just one more night.
So I was hanging out with my older brother back at home today, and we went to another person's house to chill. At midnight, my phone was vibrating but I missed the phone call. The call log said my girlfriend called me 3 times in a row, so at this point I'm a little worried. The phone started vibrating again, and I walked away from the people we were with and answered. "Hello?"
