This is a special thanks to all the 2+2 regulars who play small stakes on PokerStars and FullTilt. Without you SSNL guys, this blog entry would not be possible. Thanks again for all the financial support and all you've given me over the years.
A. Thank you carrotsnake for my Ergo Proxy DVD series. It was really a very entertaining show! At $24.99 per DVD, I pretty much was able to get the entire series the first time we played! Thanks again <3
B. Thanks pennpal for my Bose Head phones. They are the best set of head phones I've ever had. And I felt these were a really hard earned pair of head phones to get considering you play so freakin tight.
C. Thanks Acemanhattan for my iPhone. Sorry I purchased it a week after it came out, so I didn't get to cash in on that $100 rebate that they offer now. No worries, you paid it in full!
D. A very special thanks to brudman for my new HP desktop computer. This baby is equipped with that new Intel Quad Core technology, 600gb's of hard drive space (not including the external hard drive), NVIDIA 8600 GeForce graphics card, and 3090mb's of DDR Memory. The entire system was around $1700 total after I installed the video card, and you were nice enough to pay every last cent. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you.
E. Thank you catcher3333 for my Logitech lazer point mouse. I was able to purchase this after re-stealing your retarded min-reraise preflop for the 50th time.
F. Thank you luckybacon for my HP laptop. Sorry I don't use it much. I promise the next time someone gives me $1200+ to spend, I will make a wiser investment into an item that I will be using more than once a year.
G. Thanks greg1osu for my triple lamp that I got from Target. It was on sale. Thank god for that too because you almost didn't give me enough for it!
H. A very special thanks to FGators26 for my duel 24" monitors. At $899 a piece, these babies make multi-tabling sooooo much easier than my old 17"!
I. Thank you nsd4eva for the very comfy leather chair that I sit my ass on while I play. I was thinking about getting a second (nicer) one, but you run like god, so I guess I'll make someone else pay for the next one.
J. Say hello to my 500gb external hard drive complete with all the music / videos from my old computer. I pretty much have every mp3 I downloaded back in the Napster days on that external hard drive. Thanks a lot for this FoofChunk! No really, I am forever in your debt.
K. Thanks BGnight for my 80gb video iPod. Had to replace the old one because it was only 60gb and that's just too small. Gotta keep with the latest fashion yo~!
L. Thanks needfood for my fan. It keeps the air flowing in my room nicely. It's definitly a must have with San Diego weather.
Thanks to all SSNL over at 2+2 Forums once again! You guys are rockstars.

Life is good, school is picking up so I'm doing more and more reading. I had my first 3 midterms last week, and did fairly good on my first 2, but the 3rd one (the one that I thought I'd be the most comfortable with) went to shit since the professor structured the questions in the most ridiculous way. Hella gay yo! Anyways, I thought it be cool to post some pics of whats going on in SD. Been playing a lot of poker during the weekdays but not so much during the weekends...
Picture of the sunset on Mission Bay San Diego from the bridge
Mainly this is due to my obsession with going to Mission Bay or Pacific Beach and getting trashed then crashing at my friend's house. My transportation is very limited so far since I dont have a car. I basically use my bike to get me places. The plan was to get a car 2 weeks ago, but I've been super lazy on that part mainly because I really haven't had a free weekend to myself yet. On the bright side, it's nice not to have to worry about how I'm going to get my ass back home when I'm drunk. And it's pretty sweet waking up in a baller pad such as this:
My second home! My friends have such a baller pad.
My weekend bed! That couch is way more comfy than my bed.
And as for life...
Too bad this doesn't come with an audio clip
Surfers on Acid = Best shooter ever
In the city!
Things to note if / when you guys ever visit San Diego: The Gaslamp district downtown has some sweet happy hour specials that last all the way to 9pm at some places. The nightclubs downtown are pretty sweet as well (I've only been to two of them, but they were both good). The Yard House has the sickest selection of beer you will ever see. The Typhoon (in PB) on fridays is the place to be, period. Don't gamble in cardrooms in San Diego (or California in general for that matter) because they are rigged and will rake $4 every single hand EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE A FLOP. Ok hope that helped you guys.

went to some hotel to meet that hot blonde chick and her mates. have a drink or 2 in the room then head out
its all good to be out with 3 guys and 9 girls (kind of ratio you need to ball at)
we go to a couple of clubs then decide to head up to this bar to watch the fucking rugby.
On the way me and mate and 3 chicks head back to the hotel for a piss/drink
this guy walks past and goes "YOU GIRLS DESERVE BETTER THAN THE GUYS YOURE WITH"
in my beat lil jon impression i go "WHHHHHHHUT!"
he responds "WHAT DID THAT CUNT SAY?!?!?!"
I retort "WHHHHHHHHAT!"
~
thats the end of it - id ave mashed his face up anyway.
we go to the casino. meant to meet people there - but people arent old enough so me and mate go inside. This is where it gets tricky
I get $100 out and he decides to aswell. I get rolled at blackjack then he takes my seat.
Eventually we are both down $100. What he doesnt know is that i managed to lose a furthur $350 when he was losing at BJ.
So im actually -$450
We go to find some club and bump into 2 chicks we know and follow them to this club. Theres a massive line but we VIP nigga so we go through the rope and its balla
inside wasnt balla coz it was like bombay and full of punjabs. Me and my mate get 2 long island iced teas each and skull them back.
We leave and go somewheere else i cant remember.
Then we go to the hostel of the american chick where she staying for the night. I did some dutty dancing with her before this but i cant rememebr much.
then something happenened and im downtairs on a computer trying to log on to LP
my mate comes down i think hes hooking up with her and im like "yeh safe man"
i (try to) chat up this swedish chick whos pretty old and pretty ugly.
i give up and walk out the front door - its fucking daylight
i walk down the road looking for a bus.
i see a homeless dude shouting at people across the road - i give him $20 (WHAT THE FUCK!?!)
I tell him i dont care what he does with it - he can buy whatever he wants (mainly drugs and booze)
Then with buses failing i head back to the casino
I start by losing like $450 so im -$900 total
then i win back like $600
one more bet and i could be in profit
nvm i get so fucking rolled its insane
im like -$1k total from hardcore blackjacking with some asian woman on the $25 table
fall asleep on the bus then i just got home and ive nearly got aids so ill die
im so fucking poor now i might be busto irl
gaboling my parents money lol
i have no money in my account to pay the rent which is lol
If I haven't fallen asleep I'll post some hands I guess. Now lunch.
Or breakfast.
Or something.
Oh and note to self: DONT PLAY TURBO TABLES. Timed out sooooo many times trying to figure out what to do. Timed out with set once in 4 (or 3) way 3bet pot with action.. Sick life.
Although if I hadn't timed out, I'd been potentially stacked by the guy who hit his straight on the turn, for 1.5 buyins
byrnesam bets
police call
byrnesam checks
police bet
byrnesam folds
duty lawyer limps
byrnesam limps
judge checks
judge has activated time bank, 6 hours remaining
judge has activated time bank, 3 hours remaining
judge has activated time bank, 10 minutes remaining
judge bets $930
duty lawyer folds
byrnesam calls
judge shows DUI charge
byrnesam mucks
byrnesam sits out for 6 months
$800 fine and 6 month ban with $130 court costs. Paid it in full coz im balla like that and dont need a payment plan - stanky rich.
Loads of hori ass polynesians, i was adrift in a sea of fitted caps (both new era and those crap fake ones) bape hoodies and basketball jerseys.
I was lookin balla AS USUAL. The kids sat opposite me were hardcore as. One of them (probably no older than 17) had like $15,000 in fines because hed stolen so much shit.
Sat around for 6 hours
5 minutes infront of the judge. Somewhat surprised that my heart started racing when he was reading out my punishment.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/285321 - Looking back on this, I feel like I played it really bad. If I bet the turn I probably could have stacked him. At the same time, I dont really mind my line.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/285322 - Flopped the nuts, river pairs the board and the guy raises over my c-bet. I feel gross about it but there is so much in the pot so I call and I'm somehow good.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/285326 - Poly_Baller is a total monkey... Get all-in with my TT vs his 77 and he spikes a set. Nice to be retarded and run good.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/285328 - Naturally I pick up JJ about 4 hands later and he makes the same monkey 4 bet but this time he actually has Aces. I really wanted to get away from this spot but I kept thinking over and over: "This monkey gets it in with as bad as AQs or TT 99 here..." But maybe he adjusts his range after the last hand? I dont know, this spot feels like a semi-cooler.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/285330 - One of my bad plays today. I think I can fold this spot. All my friend thinks this guy is a total nit, and if thats true I can never see myself good here. Whatever, I'm such a station.
I'll prolly play a session tonight and see if I can get some back.

My september 2007 went pretty well for the most part. I started the month down around $1800, but grinded back. Got a lot of my confidence in playing back, although I found it difficult to make time to play a lot of hands due to school and San Diego life in general. Only dished out 28,409 hands in september and ended up +$7169.05 total. I also cashed in 2 of the 4 WCOOP events that I entered. I am kind of disappointed that these past weeks flew by, as I wanted to enter more events than I did. Whatever thou. Hopefully next month I can find time to play more.

Bleh, toooooooooo lazy!! Sucky ending to the month, but still decent given that I played very sporadically (mostly 4 tabling tho, so there's a few marathon sessions in there). Dunno what I've made in rakeback but over 1k I'm pretty sure (cashed last months in a little early, and played thousands of hands last days of august so got a bit left over from there too).
Goals for next month.. Hm, 90k hands would be nice, but 4 tabling that might be a little high. So, eh, 60k? I'd like to make enough to play 2/4 on prima, and ideally enough to split my roll in half and put half on party (cause you can keep your bankroll in euro instead of the weak dollar).
I heard you can get rakeback for party, anyone know how/where?
Think I should re-install/upgrade my computer cause it's been a while and I'm good at cluttering things up.. Been acting a bit slow lately, and if I'm gonna get back to playing more tables - especially with prima's heavy software - I think for the sake of me not tilting, it's best if it doesn't lag
