Playing around with a sidebetby Svenman87, April 28
basic premise
50 -> 1k at the end of July
50 -> 3k at the end of July
50 -> 5k at the end of July
50 -> 8k at the end of July
50 -> 10k at the end of July
Which is one do you think would be most challenging yet doable?
I'm new to the side bet business :3
Hey guys, last blog post I made I posted that I had moved down to $2/$4 for a while, then built back up to play at $3/$6 again, well since then things have continued to go well, and I'm now up decently for the month, considering how much I was behind. However I've been playing at $2/$4 and $1/$2 HU a fair bit aswell as $3/$6 6max and this wasn't really my plan so I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't stuck to my plan, but results have been good in those games anyway so I can be happy about that. My bankroll is back up to $28k and be rolled to move back to $5/$10 when I hit $30k. Despite a really slow start, I feel really good about how I've picked my game up this quick and things are turning around, however despite the fact that I'll be rolled for $5/$10 soon, I think I'm going to ignore the bankroll requirement and continue playing $3/$6 before moving back into those games. I'm still negative at $3/$6 since restarting and would like to get these numbers into the green, and above 2ptbb/100 minimum before moving back to $5/$10
On the last day of my holiday in Phillipines I picked up diarrhea and some stomach pains, and since coming back from Phillipines over 2 weeks ago, I've continued to have frequent bowel movements and pretty bad stomach pains both after eating, and before needing to take a crap. I figured it was just some bug that would go away, but I guess that's not the case. Today, for the first time, I've been feeling a little bit nautious aswell and have taken a crap 3 times, one time was very diarrhea like and the pain in my stomach during that crap was worse than I've felt yet. It also felt like my ass was bleeding, though it wasn't and it's really annoying me, so I think I'm gonna have to go to the doctors tomorrow. I hope it's nothing serious.
Tomorrow the LP poster 'Uptown' is coming to stay with me, I've met with him before and had fun so I expect more of the same when he's here. I hope he can put up with my shit, ha ha ha. . . . . !
I made yet ANOTHER attempt at making a video today, despite posting that I would give up attempting to make one, and again it failed. After I save the video it compresses for a while and I eventually got an error message saying that it had a problem merging the video with the audio or something like that. I'm gonna assume that some settings are wrong, even though I copied all the settings from this thread: http://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-foru..._Free_decent_quality_size_videos.html apart from one thing: The K-Lite codec pack I installed didn't have the x264 component that that poster said is necessary so I had to use a different video compression method, maybe this is the problem I don't know. If someone could fix this problem I would make a $0.50/$1 video. I'm extra annoyed that it didn't work this time because I got into some really interesting spots that I think would help people out a lot, and although I actually broke even in the session I think I played great poker and people at these stakes would've learnt a lot about how to think about some of these situations.
I'm just really happy about how I'm playing right now and, although I'm running like a GOD right now I think I'm playing really good too and hope this continues.
Everytime the federal government says we are going to increase the funding or spending by giving X billion more to [insert some special interest here] from Y billion and hence the Federal Reserve starts printing more money, please keep this short video about history and economics in mind.
I'd really prefer not to repeat this route if possible

of April. Had an incredible rough session yesterday, or more accurate, three rough session. The first one was pure sick, think I lost 3bi's only on 2outers. The second session was better and I only lost 1bi after losing QQ vs A10 all in on Q95 board, turn 8, river J. Sick shit imo. The last session I headed towards the HU-tables, and god I got crushed for 4bi's pretty quickly by the best NL20 HU-player I have ever met, but he also ran like good with some nice suckouts.
So now I'm down pretty exactly 4bi's for the month, have been worse, but I think it sucks pretty much as the top of the month was +7,5bi's. It has been a pretty swingy month and it will be good with some RB. Still will be up for the month 9-10bi's or something, but I wanna be a winning ppl also.
Maybe I will get in some hands with Remember87 tonight or else I won't start until saturday-sunday again. Have been a strange month but ok anyhow. I think 4bi's down can be pretty standard and doesnt have to mean that you get crushed by the level, have just played about 2hrs 5-6tables for about 10-12days also. So have not reached a samplesize yet.
just a small transfer, i've made multiple transfers with reputable LP members so far.
i'm willing to send first to anyone reputable. my full tilt, your pokerstars
reason is, i wanna cash out but FTP is being a bitch, even though i sent in photoID/address verification. i thought it would be easier to cash out from stars, where i'ved cashed out multiple times before.
well april was not a fun month at all lol. -3k live, -4k online cuz of the fucking keylogging scandal.
i cashed out my remaining online roll and i saved up living expenses from what's left of my live winnings. i realized a long time ago that money in the bank =/= bankroll so i'm not really able to deposit right now. gotta pay summer apartment expenses + next semester's tuition (fml i should have gone to class and graduated this semester).
funny. i tried rebuilding from what was left of my fpps and managed to get up to 100 bucks playing NL10 with 40 dollars. but then my friend mike's bday was two nights ago and i drunkenly 4tabled 25nl with it. hahahahahahahaha.
i gotta go look for a shitty minimum wage job now because i don't want to go back to my parents place even though i know they will be very very supportive, provided that i eventually quit poker.
/life
ps. seeing a shrink right now because i got referred by the dean of students for poor performance. debating whether or not i should tell him about all the time i spent playing poker since the end of junior year. i'm pretty sure he's not going to get it at all and instead label me as a gambling addict or something. fml.
Hi, I hold the Microsoft student partner position on my campus. This month i have a project that includes telling as many people as i can about the Dreamspark website and what is available.
For those of you who don't know, dreamspark is a site that allows you to register and then download various pieces of Microsoft software. I have dled visual studio, XNA game studio and many others.
For this project i was given a unique URL to give out to track how many people i can get to go to the site. I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to check this out for me.
Also, i have searched the forum for FTP scripts and have not been able to find any that allow you to open x amount of tables at a single time, i have found a few that you have to purchase online. Does anybody know of any free ones?
