The great thing about being a teacher are the amount of holidays. True, I put in the hours when working to make up for the time off but with 5 days left until I go back I am bored.
So far this holiday I have:
Done several large dog walks,
Seen friends and a couple of nights out,
Caught up on lots of sleep and errands / chores,
Started training again at the gym.
Today as been a lazy one - shopping, Dota 2 and catching up with Game of Thrones.
Highlight = half price (cooked) roast chicken breasts that were very tasty.
Tomorrow I am looking forward to going to the seaside with my friends Tommy and the Dogs, possibly plan the Yorkshire Three Peak walk at the end of May and gamble on some horses.
Poker
Not really bothered about poker at the minute so I will play a modest 1000k hands per day @ 25nl zoom with a starting BR of $475.
End goal - make a little bit of spend for summer holidays.
EDIT - 1023 hands down. BR $413.21. Pro.
Currently, as I type this I have a Weimeraner pretending to be my best friend. Sneaky one is after my sausage roll but I am wise to her tricks!
Vid commentary on my match by LemOn[5thF], April 21
Sup guys
I made it to a semi-final of a HUsng tourney and it just got released with a HUsng coach commentary.
needless to say I played like 15husng in my life before this still managed to play decent besides some mandatory spews,Lemon style
Apparently floating a large cr with J8o on KK4 is not standard 50bb deep?
I'll be in New York with my girlfriend for the first week of May. I would be really grateful for any help finding a cheap place to stay, apparently finding a not so expensive hotel on short notice is not to so easy. Can offer poker lessons in return. Thanks.
I'd rather not go into too much because I am really pissed right now.
But I got pulled over by a cop 2 months ago. She said all I needed to do was show up in court and that it was a no fine thing. I've been really busy and made the mistake of not showing up.
I get notice in the mail today of a massive fine amount + interest. What to do? I can't go into speak with anyone either on the phone or at the admin building because it is the weekend. But I'm going to try and speak with anyone I can to reduce the amount. Willing to do alot of community service as well.
My local live game which is 10 min away has had a new structure for the past few months, small blind = 2, big blind = 3 , 5 to go, must bet in increments of 5 unless all in, max buy in = the deepest stack at the table.
current stats;
feb +1950
march + 5650
april + 2650
I just had a $2100 losing day playing pretty spewy and semi tilted, I need to invest in an Ipad to keep me from getting bored because I'm pretty sure I'm raising too loose from early positions. My best day so far this year at this game is probably around +$1800. I definitely have to keep improving my game even though I pretty much have an edge over everyone that goes there, and I'm not even super good.
quick question, has anyone ever taken notes on people during live sessions? I was thinking about starting to do that if I buy an Ipad or something.
Sure got burned for the second time utilizing one of these online video streaming rental services (google play, vudu). Rented the hobbit last night, got bored watching it, came back to finish it tonight, EXPIRED. You know what? Fuck you. Fuck you hard bitch. I tried to play fair. I tried to give you a reasonable chance not to horse fuck me. I gave you my money. I played by the rules, and this is what I got. An unreasonable time frame. Well good job MPAA, you just drove another user to 100% dedicated piracy. You had your shot, you had one of those elusive users who knows all too well how to steal your shit, but decided that because he can afford to pay that he should pay, and this is how you return the favor. You put me in a situation where undoubtedly the goal was to see if I would pay twice. I mean afterall who can only watch half a movie right? What other possible motive would there be other than to stack the deck so that the movie expires during the next logical viewing period (the same time the next day). Why wouldn't you give someone 48 hours? What do you have to lose? What advantage does this give me?
Anyway downloading HD version right now along with half a dozen other movies that were in my wish list to pay for.

Why do I overwhelmingly lose when I'm overwhelmingly ahead? People on zone are the dumbest mother fuckers in the entire online poker world possible, and they are the most lucky pieces of shits ever. They constantly shove preflop with 72o, a3o, 96o; as long as you have a decent hand, you're always ahead. AA and KK NEVER get raised unless it's someone who actually understands that you should raise those hands, which are the people you want to avoid. It's the easiest things to spot the complete mass of menstrual clots, but god damn it sure is fucking impossible getting paid off when you're ahead.
AND WHEN THE FUCK SHOULD I SEE FLUSH DRAWS? ITS BEEN THREE FUCKING DAYS AND IVE BEEN TWO TABLING AT LEAST FIVE HOURS A DAY!
Hi ya'll,
I am doing a giveaway of horror game Daylight
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_(video_game)) (watch pewdiepie play it in early release )
My plan is to make a promo video for the giveaway and just enter in anyone who replies to the video for a random raffle. I'll ask a simple question so commentators and I can get around the one anti-raffle law I know of that says "entrants must pass a skill test" or whatever
This video is a channel update for my youtubes and the UNOFFICIAL daylight giveaway announcement http://youtu.be/Go9f8T9jiyk
Just looking to let you guys in on the gig a bit early since you're in my "in crowd"
So I'm planning on travelling to Eastern Europe this summer and am going to be looking for a place to live permanently. A friend has invited me to Bucharest this summer to check it out and show me around, so while I'm there I'd like to also stop by and check out some other places.
I'm looking for any kind of information or experiences you guys might have had in these places and recommendations regarding which cities you think are best. A very important requirement is that the general population be able to speak a decent amount of English. I'd like to travel to 4 or 5 different cities and then make a decision from there. I'm not interested in anywhere outside of Eastern Europe.
EDIT--If there's anyone in that part of the world that would be interested in taking an afternoon to show me around the city I'd be very grateful. I could in return share some poker knowledge, or take an hour to review a video of your play.
