Anyone have an estimate of how long it would take to achieve 16k FPP as a silver star, 9 tabling 10NL? I wanna get the $250 gift certificate so i can get another monitor.
Poker-SM was played on Unibet today so I thought I would give it a try. Well, not the best idea I guess. I am sooo tired, working all day with my parents so my head feels like a big balloon. 10 minutes after the tourney had started I already had lost 2 BI on FTP and I knew that the tournament would go the same way. I busted in an hour, in the end trying to do the wonderful "AA" utg limp-AI with 35bb. Unfortunally my opponent had QQ and I busted. Pretty happy still, I can go to bed early tonight!
As most of you know, November 4th, we'll be having a massive cluster fuck of the unproductive in my nation. But aside from the lost GDP, and the consequent exacerbation of our fickle economic situation, there's something more at stake here. A bunch of people with no clue what the fuck is going on will be casting their votes for politicians who have pandered to the lowest common denominator with campaign platforms such that one can only resignedly say, "yes, we ALL want houses, we ALL want health care - and not just for ourselves, but for others, too - we ALL want a strong economy, we ALL want things, in general, to get better. Thank you for saying so. BUT, tell me more: how do you plan to do it? Why are experts in your respective fields projecting estimates for your plans that have margins of error in the trillions of dollars? The question here isn't so much ideological as it is: do you actually have know how to do ANY of what you're proposing?"
And what slogan is encouraging ignorant Americans to vote for apparently hollow politicians?
"If you don't vote, you can't complain."
Enumerated in our very bill of rights, in fact in our very first amendment is the right to unlimited complaint, which we as Americans hold so dear. Do not be deceived. All is not lost. Here is a revision of that dread slogan and a tribute:
"
So, on November 4th, if you are so unfortunate as to wake up and discover yourself in a voting booth, boldly write "none of the above is acceptable."
Thoughts from across the pond - an email from Ireland to
the brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political
affiliation:
''We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an
election in the United States this year.
On one side, you have a lawyer who states he is 'black' when it is
documented that he is only 12% 'black', who goes to the wrong church, who
has stated that he wants his countrymen to learn to speak Spanish rather
than English, who refuses to put his hand over his heart and say the pledge
of allegiance or wear the flag of the country he wants to run, who can't
remember if there are 50 or 57 states in his own country, who is married to
yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to
run.
Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with
the appropriate 'Mc', married to a good looking younger woman who owns a
beer distributorship. What in Lord's name are ye lads thinking over there
in the colonies?
I found that on facebook <3 it.
Anyways haven't played poker to much lately it's youth hunting season and I've gone out with my 8 yr old cousin a couple times and my brother. No kills but the season is young.
Friday night went to the pub crawl which was ballin minus some bitch runin off with our id's for like an hour so we just had to walk around and enjoy the party outside.
Prolly play some later I'm at ~$400 so maybe I can have a sick day and get to $500 and take some shots at nl25.

I don't want anyone to miss this thread, without a doubt top3 most hilarious threads I've read, delivers from the first comment.
So I tried using a poker account fund transfer website( rrchips.com ) to transfer $100 from FTP to pokerstars. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE IT IS A SCAM.
Didn't work out so well and now I'm left with $2.51 on my Fulltilt account and nothing transferred to my pokerstars account. However, Fulltilt was able to recover $5 of mine though from the account, UltimateAce8. So I guess it's time try to rebuild at NL10 with like half of a buyin.
robinson47 asked me to do a few $100 flips so I did and lost like 5 outta 6 then went on to lose like 4 outta 5 against artanis
after the failed flip session I went to play some 2/4 HU it started well but this one guy who apparently had a horseshoe implanted in his ass went on to take about 1.5k off me
This + the flips puts me down like 1.4k for the night
by the end I was also pretty spewy and played pretty badly so I quit
Poker-wise : busto in NL2. Up 20 BI in nl10. Waiting the cashout to get to play in pstars in nl10. And probably putting money elsewhere for bonus whoring maybe.
Cheer !
ROFLMAO! This is a must watch! Those damn Canadians, tricking great minds like Palin into thinking "Nailin Palin" was a documentary on her life!

SP Assist: This is Betsy.
MA: Hello, Betsy. This is Frank l’ouvrier (Frank the worker], I’m with President Sarkozy, on the line for Governor Palin.
SP Assist: One second please, can you hold on one second please?
MA: No problem.
SP Assist: Hi, I’m going to hand the phone over to her.
MA: Okay thank you very much I’m going to put the president on the line.
SP Assist: Ok he’s coming to the line.
SP: This is Sarah.
MA: Okay, Governor Palin?
SP: Hellloooo...(long drawn out, like Well, hellooooo)
MA: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.
SP [To someone in the room]: Oh, it’s not him yet, I always do that. I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them.
FNS: Yes, hello, Governor Palin? Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor?
SP: Hello this is Sarah., how are you?
FNS: Fine, and you, this is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
SP: Oh...so good, it’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.
FNS: Oh, it’s a pleasure.
SP: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you and thank you for spending a few minutes to talk to me.
FNS: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American Advisor Johnny Hallyday (the most famous French singer, looks like and sings like Elvis), you know?
SP: Yes! Good!
FNS: Excellent! Are you confident?
SP: Very confident and we’re thankful that the polls are showing that the race is tightening and--
FNS: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now my dear?
SP: Ah, I feel so good. I feel like we’re in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon, you get your second wind and you plow to the finish—
FNS: You see, I got elected in France because I’m real and you seem to be someone who’s real as well.
SP: Yes, yeah, Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity.
FNS: You know, I see you as a president, one day, you too.
SP: [Muahaaa...weird laugh], maybe in 8 years. Haha
FNS: Well, ah, I hope for you. You know we have a lot in common because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt too.
SP: [Giggle]o h very good, we should go hunting together.
FNS: Exactly! We could go try hunting by helicopter, like you did, I never did that.
SP: [Giggle]
FNS: Like we say in France, "on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi" [Translation: We could also kill some baby seals.]
SP: [Giggle] Well I think we could have a lot of fun together as we’re getting work done, we can kill two birds with one stone that way.
FNS: I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life, that is so fun!
SP: [Hahahaha]
FNS: I’d really love to go as long as we don’t bring your Vice president Cheney, hahaha.
SP: No, I’ll be a careful shot, yes.
FNS: You know we have a lot in common also except that from my ass I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you.
SP: Well, see, we’re right next door to other countries that we all need to be working with, yes.
FNS: Some people said in the last days, and I thought that was mean, that you weren’t experienced enough in foreign relations, and you know, that’s completely false, that’s the thing I said to my great friend, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stef Carse [Stephen Harper is the PM and Stef Carse is a Quebecois country singer who covered Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart in French in the 90s].
SP: Well, he’s doing fine, too, and yeah when you come into a position underestimated, it gives you the opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder-
FNS: I, I was wondering because you are also next to him, one of my good friends, also, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois [a famous Quebec radio host], have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
SP: Uh, haven’t seen him at one of the rallies, but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor; we have a great cooperative effort there as we work on all of our resource development projects. You know I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness, you’ve added a lot of energy to your country, even, with that beautiful family of yours.
FNS: Thank you very much. You know my wife, Carla, would love to meet you. You know even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today. [Hahahaha]
SP: [Hahahha] Well give her a big hug from me.
FNS: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
SP: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.
FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called "Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne" [Translate: Lipstick for a sow literally (but not properly) but it actually means an uninhibited girl] or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber..."
SP: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism like
FNS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon "Joe the Plumber," that’s not your husband, right?
SP: Mmhmm, that’s into my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.
FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, "Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui."
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.
FNS: I seen a bit about NBC even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual.
SP: Yeah that’s what we’re up against.
FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s "Nailin Palin."
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.
FNS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.
FNS: I really love you. And I must say something, so, Governor, you’ve been pranked.
By the Master Avengers. We’re two comedians from Montreal
SP: Oohhh have we been pranked? And what radio station is this? [tries to force herself to sound nice but you can tell she’s pissed]
FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
[SP leaves phone, continuous griping in background, sounds like, "For chrissakes...that was ??? Just a radio station prank...chrissakes..."]
MA: Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain.
[Man’s voice in background: hang up, hang up.]
SP Assist: Hi, I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Um, thank you.
ive got a 3k milestone to be taken with just about 50kvpp left to go, i was planning on chasing it this month, im just confused whether to go for it this month, or just relax and get it by december.(30 bi guaranteed noh?) and even possibly pulling off a sick 100kvpp this december (for the 4k milestone, 40bi guaranteed) playing 100nl and 200nl FR. what do you guys think? no advice on game theory and other important poker game related shit pls. lol
Also ive got a friend who i've been helping out, he's kinda good at sc and at math, ive been teaching him here at home playing 25nl 4 tabling atm, so far he's up like 6bi in 4 days so that's pretty good, god i wish tokeweed and i were so lucky to have someone teach us fundamentals like 3 years ago, it wouldve made things a lot, lot easier. well expect this guy to crush microstakes soon, and apparently he's good at tilt management and control, well i dont allow him to play alone for the meantime lol. It really feels nice to help out a friend get into poker, next year we'll be playing in one place here at home for my SNE quest, so by teaching him I think I'll be helping myself a lot too in the process.
October -less hands, more money?by spets1, November 01
Heya Guys.
So october was a good month. Eventho i onnly played bout 11k hands this is my best month ever. Money wise.
And my BR is all time HIGH! of 3k!!! Woohooo.
I tried to play some Limit poker, which started very good but then i started loosing so
i stopped. Then i went to play FR NL100 and FR NL50 which didnt go too well as you can
see the graph dips back to zero.
Then
What really worked for me is playing 2 tables of NL100 6 max. I began playing it and got a really solid steep curve in the end.
Also ive won a live freeroll(APL, for those that know) in one of local pubs for 500 bucks which was pretty cool, as they give me a cool medallion. And winning live is a pretty cool feeling.
Earlier than that ive also came third in the same freeroll for 300 bucks, so my live winnings are at 800 bucks, which is pretty awesome, since i never played live poker for money (only freerolls).
Also me and my friend are going to go to casino to give it a go after exams are over,
my next exam is 3rd, then 7th, then 12th, and im in biiig biig trouble so i need miracles to pass them all, wish me luck!
Also i think this is the new record for my biggest pot won
I also got ipod shuffle delivered to me from PS. The problem is however that
I run windows XP without service pack 2 and hence i cannot install itunes.
My XP copy is also not legit hence i cannot update to SP2 and i've heard there
is a way to do it...
