So, as some of you may know or may have guessed, my plans for taking a trip to Europe this summer fell through. My friends are idiots, and they want to take a Contiki guided tour instead of staying with all of you fine gentlemen, so I told them to fuck off. I’ll take my own trip later, and THEN I will ask you all again whether I can bum it up at your places. Thanks so much for the offers though, and sorry I can’t get to see you yet!
But on to the good stuff. So, I’ll be spending this summer in Las Vegas instead. My uncle has a house there, and has offered me a free room for as long as I want, so I will most likely be there from the middle of May to the middle of July. I’ll be playing and teaching poker, as well as working for Liquidpoker, full-time, and generally just living an extremely baller lifestyle, doing whatever I want whenever I want. Also, I will be degen’ing it up at strip clubs a fair amount, because I am awesome like that. However, strip clubs are horrible for one’s bankroll, so I need to practice moderation.
Furthermore, I am working on a wish list of items I want to buy, either with cash or from the PokerStars FPP store, by the end of the summer. If anyone has any suggestions for additional items, and/or substitutes for the ones I’ve listed, please let me know!
#1: New Computer Chair
Name: The Aeron by Herman Miller
Price: $949
Description: This chair is apparently a spectacular distributor of pressure for maximal comfort. It also has angle- and height-adjustable arms, which is crucial for me in chair selection. It also comes in three different widths, which is awesome, because I find most chairs to have the arms far too wide, accomodating large people. While I may be fat, my arms just don't stick out that far  . Awesome chair!

#2: New Computer
Name: ?
Price: About $600
Description: I just want a new computer with decent processing power/RAM so that I can run PT/PAHud/multi-tables lag-free, and decent video support for the two new monitors I want to get.
#3: New Monitors
Name: Samsung 24” LCD Monitors from the FPP Store
Price: 136,000 FPPs
Description: What is there to say? Awesome dual 24” setup coming up ASAP.

#4: New Speakers
Name: Bose Companion 3 Series II
Price: $249
Description: These speakers are excellent. DAy[9] has them, and they have extremely good bass and high-quality crisp sound, and they’re simple and compact. It doesn’t get any better than that.

#5: New Cell Phone
Name: LG VX8700
Price: $229
Description: This phone is basically as accessorized as I want. It has an MP3/WMA player and a 2.0 megapixel phone, and it’s compact and looks cool. I don’t really know anything about phones, so I’m particularly interested in anybody’s comments about this or another phone that I should look at. My carrier is Verizon! It’s also been suggested that I should wait for the release of iPhone…anybody know if this is supposed to work with Verizon? Also, anybody think it’s worth it to switch to Cingular for this phone?

#6: Plasma HDTV
Name: Pioneer 60” Widescreen Plasma HDTV from the FPP Store
Price: 270,000 FPPs
Description: Sick, 60” plasma HDTV. There’s just nothing to really say about this, it rocks your socks off all day long. This is a lot of FPPs though. Once I achieve SuperNova it should still take 2 months or so. Given that I’m already getting two monitors and barely have enough FPPs now to get one, I think this one will be a long time coming. More like a Christmas gift for myself, I think. Problem is, though, that I can use my FPPs soon for sick cash bonuses when I surpass Supernova. Dilemma!

#7: Balvenie Scotch
Name: The Balvenie Portwood 21 year-old
Price: About $200
Description: The Balvenie is my favorite label of Scotch that I’ve tasted so far. It is rich and intense with flavors of caramel and sherry, and I’ve loved every bit of the DoubleWood 12 year-old that I have already. This will be a brilliant addition to my collection.
link: http://www.balvenie.com/shop/portwood.html
#8: MacAllan Scotch
Name: The MacAllan Sherry Oak 25 year-old
Price: About $375
Description: I sampled this unbelievable whisky at the Luxor Steakhouse in Las Vegas on my birthday in March. Its richness and complexity floored me. I could not believe the delicious flavor bouquet it revealed. I was stunned and almost never want to drink a different Scotch again. I absolutely must have this in my collection.

Total Cash: About $2,600
Total FPPs: 406,000
I prioritize the above items this way. I need a new computer first, so that’s what I need to get ASAP. After that I think I need the new cell phone, followed by the chair. Then I need the new speakers and then the new monitors. Then the HDTV, then the MacAllan scotch, and finally the Balvenie. So how about a schedule?
Today: April 15
$600 computer: May 1
$229 cell: May 8
$949 chair: June 1
$249 speakers: June 8
136,000 FPP monitors: July 1 (current FPPs: 72,000)
270,000 FPP HDTV: November 15
$375 MacAllan Scotch: December 1
$200 Balvenie Scotch: January 1
And that closes out the year! This actually seems doable. The FPP items might be a bit tough to manage, because I don’t tend to play a lot of tables.
What else can I get to enhance my baller status? Don’t suggest watches or cars, I’m already set with a watch for now, and I can’t get something with a monthly payment (except maybe new cell phone service) until I get my student loans paid off.

900 something for a chair? holy shit really expensive imo. Shop around more.
cell phone - looks like a different version of a razor.. which u can get for free. i really like the chocolate. I heard the iphone(apples cell phone?) is suppose to be an ipod and cellphone in one lolz
computer - for 600 bucks u are probably gona get a borderline acceptable computer. i suggest spending like 800-1k
Speakers seem really cool - i've been looking at these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121120
monitors - I love my set up two 20's and a 24. i think its more balla then two 24's because you are sorrounded by monitors. you'll need two video cards tho. I use the 24 for browsing or whatever then i can use the other two if i want to 12 table or just to open three different browsers for easy viewing.
plasma 60" - i was thinking about getting this too but have no room for it. If you are supernova you can get this in about 2 months 3 months tops.

What is with all the rant about the chair, a great chair > everything.
I'm not a big sound expert, but every discussion I've read said that Bose sucks and is just commercial hype (well not sucks, but not as good as their price would suggest). Sennheiser is supposed to be much better. |

Imo dont waste money on computer speakers, prebuy a surround system for that plasma and just connect your reciver with the computer instead. then you can just switch between your comp/TV,DVD when you buy those things on the switch on the reciver
It will give your alot more then that computer surround stuff. |
