As many of you know, the centerpiece of yesterday's Teabag LARPing Performance Art Fair was to be the unveiling of one million teabags, which were to symbolize one million symbolic teabags, fighting socialism. These teabags could not be dumped in the muddy waters of the Potomac, to the delight of kayakers, because that's illegal. So the teabaggers were going to take their act to Lafayette Park, and dump all of them on a tarp -- by which we mean an actual tarp, not a Troubled Asset Relief Program. That would have been far too clever a joke for these people.
But! The State got up to straight up TRAMPLING of the RIGHTS, and put the kibosh on the teabag display. Which left the bags back in the inside of a truck, borne back ceaselessly into the past or something.
And so, that left people with one unresolved question: What happened to the teabags? Did they end up on a cross country jaunt? Did they get sent to the Dharma Initiative? Did anyone come to the realization: "Hey! I bet we could make tea with these things?" As it happens, the press stayed on the case.
From today's Washington Post:
Finally, the truck's driver, who had been wandering around town for hours after an overnight drive from Georgia, found a place to unload the cargo: 12 floors up in a downtown advocacy group.
That's right. One million teabags finally found a home in a conference room at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, JUST AS NOSTRADAMUS SAID THEY WOULD. The Post got a picture of the greatest political demonstration to ever take place in a downtown conference room.
Gaze on that image, and tell me if your patriotic heart doesn't swell with, "Seriously, guys, you need to move these things by three so we can go over the new HR policies."
Glenn Beck also got really patriotic and started supporting the Texas secessionists... wait, seceding from the USA isn't patriotic!
Republicans, why do you hate America? If you don't like it then you can leave, just use the tax cut Obama gave ya and buy a plane ticket. And if you make over 250k and didn't get a tax cut, then you obviously have enough money to buy a ticket outta here, and if you leave and renounce your citizenship then you won't have to pay!
(For those who missed it, the last paragraph was supposed to be ironic).
I must close with a sign showing the strong level of intellect at these tea parties:
Hi.
There are some crazy people who actually help and give an insight based on stats and graphs.. so ;-) y not, I gotta try
I used to lurk on liquidpoker for very long time, also I'm posting activly on polish "little brother"
I came back to cash games after winning a donkament.. ;-)
My bankroll is 1350$, I wonder if I should get back to NL25 to grind out to like 1500$ ?
This graph is from nl25 and nl50... samples are not that huge but im wondering why the hell my graph looks like rollercoaster and my redline is fucking sick...
First blogpost, woot. I think I might start getting more active here and shiz. Anyways, to the actual reason for a blog:
So, I've managed to finally realize that I have serious ego issues, which makes me just go up levels for which I'm not rolled, and set up the biggest donation center in town. So it's punishment time. Starting over again from 10nl, and grinding my way up. NO shoveling NO nothing. I'm going to use this blog as a reason for me to actually manage my BR.
So, for now, the rules are: 10nl 'till 500 bucks, which will basicly be more grinding than I've done before. I fail. (BR now at 133 buckaroos, was 700 at best, but went up and shouted free money, which was soon gone.), so that's 37ish buyins left to grind. After I hit 500 bucks, I'm starting 25NL again, since I used to play there and I was a marginal winner. I wouldn't be that marginal if it wasn't for the monkeytilt I got from jumping up stakes, losing and realizing I've gotta drop down. I'll grind that 'till I hit 1250 bucks, and start playing 50nl.
Todays session: +20 bucks, running at 13.53ptbb/100. "Finally" not running like fucking muddy waters. Still got a bit sucked out on, and I made some really poor decisions too.
Some of the more interesting hands:
First hand: Villain played around 80/40, and had been doing really weird shit all over town. I figured I was ahead almost always here. His tendencies was to bet quite a bit when he hit, but never to shove. Ah well, sometimes, a suckout is a suckout! + Show Spoiler +

Third hand: Villain is fairly competent, reacts alot to image. I had a bit of a "LOL I MISSED CBET CBET!"-image, and figured that he would call me down lightly. When the king hits, and he shoves, I'm 100% sure he's got me beat. I wouldn't against worse players, but he had never spazzed out before like that. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the way I played it. A bit unsure about the last blockerbet though. Felt really weak, and almost like he would shove more on that bet. + Show Spoiler +

Fourth hand: I felt that I could probobly get one of the others to call by just calling myself, but then again, I figured if an ace hits, I just wont be able to manouver too well, and I think the only time I get anything else from them is they're sitting on queens/jacks, or AQ/AJ and hit a queen/jack on the flop. I felt like the shortie would shove PF/on basicly every flop anyways, so it seemed to be an easier spot to put myself in. + Show Spoiler +

Finally hit the 5k mark on PokerStars After playing about 50k hands of full ring the last 2 weeks or so, I decided to take a day off and 6-table 6-max. Played well/ran awesomely:
I forgot to mention in my last blog that tomorrow Im flying to Boston with DZoo and Circa to watch Boston vs Montreal on Saturday night and
a Redsox game at Fenway on Sunday...I think Sean Nolan, yes the black man himself is going to meet us there and show us around town
So hopefully I'll get some pics up of all that as well, if anyone else lives in Boston I guess just PM me and lemme know whats up
does it matter to mr. variance if you stop on a W?by whamm!, April 16
Up to this day, this is something i really don't understand. This month, I've had some pretty decent 7 to 10bi days, but since i never stop on a win and got nothing to do, i keep playing (coz im playing well enough to go on) and it seems the cards even out the same session and i have days this month where i shouldve won 6bi and because im such a greedy mofo i end up breaking even sometimes, or worse, down by less a buyin. I've always believed that ur results now will be the same tomorrow , and by that i mean u exactly get the same number of situations where its hard to let go and lose it anyway. my question is, will cards/luck change if u continuously stop on a winning session? or are you doomed to swing the ff day regardless? if it means that the rng is completely random, then i guess stopping regardless if ur playing good and cards are starting to "even out" huh? i think i should have made about 40bi so far this month had i stopped and rng resets and just coinflips my luck the ff day, so now im thinking of just playing and stopping at say 5 to 6bi regardless of how good im playing, if cards start to suck, just quit? its retarded obv but i just want some inputs from other ppl, coz tokeweed used to believe its better to "avoid" variance and sometimes i think he's right haha.
note:
im asking all this coz im kinda "forced" to grind more hands than regular coz of some fpp/milestone goals, im starting to think it aint worth it if i continuously lose my winnings just coz i play a lot more than i should.
Last weekend I totally was into quitting poker for a loooong time after some sessions from hell. I mainly play my A-game live but last couple of weeks I have lost, for me, huge amounts, ending with no profit left from LAST YEAR or even worse that I might be some bucks down in a one year period.
However, I have kept playing online, not so much, but some hands everyday this week. Have managed to turn a -224$ result into a -27 since sunday evening and I feel I play pretty well. With the RB for this month I think I will be up a couple ob BI:s, the RB should be about 130E at the moment but I have plans to make it 150-200 for the month.
Tomorrow I'll join the Uppsala-boys, Dusty,Remember87, Rednalluk and some more to celebrate that they've managed to hand in an essay,,,yaay. Wake up boys, in two years when you're in the real world you have to accomplish that in max 1day, not 3.5months ;-)
I'd like to import graph but unfortunately im playing @ Luckyacepoker and started Poker Host as well.. This is seriously my worse month 12 days in a row losing losing losing losing and it won't stop. started up 3k and now im down 2.7k ? SWEEEET oh well NL400 will wait a lil bit i guess. Does it ever happen to anyone to just feel like ur hand will never win? XD like u just CANT win? i just dont know =x how to get through this gay feeling :/ so i just get depressed as i play T_T and obviously become scared money etc.

6.Random thoughts
1.The Internet.
Verizon. I’m highlighting this word because they suck. So if you aren’t a type to read a blog, know this and don’t use their service. Ever.
Well, it’s some time after 14th now and apparently there is no internet still. Someone somewhere made some sort of mistake which somehow caused something to happen that I still don’t have it. That’s what they tell me. Not only do I have to suffer through incomprehensible Indian accented-English, but even if I did understand what they said there still would be no answer. I spent about 5 hours on the phone between today and yesterday trying to find out what’s going on. They kept throwing me around departments and giving me a wide variety of excuses over and over, repeating and opposing themselves. The final answer (at least what I set out to be a final answer) is that it will be on tomorrow after 6pm. Which is coincidently the time their support stops working (a major company without a 24-hour support?). The problem is I’ve heard that answer before.
I also requested a new DSL modem which the y sent to my old apartment, took it back and never sent it to my new address. When I called them yesterday they said they already did and it will arrive today. Today however, it’s another 48 hours.
Not to mention their internet breaks up more often than a dial up. Which I am using now and 48k aside it is not too bad. I guess anything that works is not too bad in comparison.
2.The Apartment
I still haven’t taken any pictures of neither the apartment nor the view. I’ve find my camera but the battery charger is still lost (there is still a room worth of unpacked stuff lying around here). The battery is a unique square like thingy so any grocery store bought Durasill just wont do.
It feels really weird to live on 21st floor. Sure the view is nice but I am quiet afraid of heights. The highest I’ve lived so far is 4th floor, and that’s at most will break your legs, and given my judo background I have this faith I will be able to do a proper roll to a safe landing. Not that I am even sure a roll is a proper way to land from 16 meters or so. When I’m in the apartment it just feels like there is this empty space under my feet. I don’t know. Not a comforting feeling. And the wind, the wind at this elevation is quiet insane, it wails and screams, threatening to knock the walls and the windows down. Once it was banging so hard I woke up thinking the house was crumbling.
Also ever since we moved here I just can’t fall asleep. I don’t know what that is but I just can’t. I even tried sleeping pills, which usually were spot on if my schedule ever got fucked. Its quiet hard to live a healthy lifestyle with playing poker at peak hours and going to gym and all that when you aren’t even getting 8 hours of sleep.
3.Poker
Well I’ve been playing some poker even without the internet. Whether it was stealing from the neighbors, using dial up or college lab rooms I’ve got some hands in. Got 2nd in a 1 dollar rebuy on FTP which is my biggest tournament success, for I guess about 250$? Been playing some tourneys since then cos I want to play in MiniFTOPS, with it being a +EV endeavor and not just me luckboxing stuff.
Cash game wise I am playing only heads up right now. Bigger edge and much more to learn. I just felt that I couldn’t advance my game that much at 6 or 9 max because my bankroll didn’t not correspond with the stakes I would have to play to use my knowledge. In heads up however I have a lot of leaks, and fixing them up is a lot more entertaining than grinding silly. Progress, is just awesome.
4.MMA
I was pretty blah that Aoki lost to Mach. And the way he lost(even tho I haven’t seen the match). I was really hoping he would be able to pull it off, as a fan. But what can you do, work on your striking please Rainbow-pants man.
Diaz came in at 190 for Shamrock fight? What happened to the skinny dude that fought Gomi? I guess someone has dipped into more illegal substances then just weed.
Liddell vs Shogun this weekend. Liddell is obviously done(as a contender), but it’s a huge test for Shogun. Is he finally back?
5.Formula 1
What a mess. WTF is going on? Pretty pissed at Lewis getting his points taken away. Happy for Button , the man deserves this, this man is equivalent of F1 Oddeye. So unlucky. Lewis will win anyway though.
6.Random thoughts
Envy Svenman. That chick's body is banging.
Haruki Murakami is awesome. I advise everyone to read the Wild Sheep Chase at least.
Also take recommendations for similar books.
I've been seeing this girl for about 8 months. Totally love her and she feels the same way. She's smart, beautiful, funny, not needy, and the sex is fantastic. Pretty much everything I care about
Monday I picked her up from her place to go have breakfast together. She was acting very quiet and standoffish so I asked her what was wrong. She tells me she has something to tell me and asks me to promise not to freak out about it and I agree, expecting for her to dump me or something like that.
That's when she made the most disgusting confession I have ever heard. She tells me that she's into scat sex. That she regularly eats and smears her poop while masturbating when I'm not around. She also tells me that she wants us to start doing it and that she wants to eat my ****.
I'm ******* mortified . I have never once even considered doing something like this and the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach. I also keep thinking about all the times I've kissed her, not knowing what's been in her mouth.
I haven't seen or spoken to her since monday. I just can't bring myself to. She's been calling and leaving crying voicemails on my phone asking me to forget she ever said it and that's she's sorry.
I don't know what the **** to do about this . What should I do? I love her but dear ******* god.
A winning day. Should have been bigger but I made several mistakes. But overall I'm happy.
I started today by playing 6 tables of NL200 and quickly got double coolered and was down 2 buyins. So I decided to play NL100 instead and just mass grind. Got about 20 tables of NL100 going and was running hot. So I closed all the tighter tables, kept the fishy ones, and started adding NL200 tables into the mix. Played for about 6 hours straight and logged 8k hands and about 3k VPP. Profit wasn't huge but still nice @ $1,100. Crazy day and probably my longest session ever.
When I started running good I decided I'd just keep playing till I either got tired or started running horribly bad. This is totally opposite of how I used to be where I would always quit after winning 1-3 buyins while running good. This was quite fun and much more profitable imo. Sadly I've had lots of short losing sessions for pretty much this entire month, so this 1 good run didn't make up for all the other loses. But hopefully I can get a few more sessions like this before the month ends and if that happens I definitely could get into the green, plus make a LOT of VPP.
