Poker is a hard game. I need a full time sensei. The End.

MMA is going great i'm thinking about going to seminar in Cal that apparently will have bas/bravo. Dunno i haven't checked into details yet.

Had a long convo with Naz about games like dota/war3/starcraft/CS/etc and the amount of strategy vs hand speed/reaction time that it takes to be good.

I used to be an ok starcraft player and I say that SC is more hand speed and reaction time then it is strategic thought. Naz disagrees and thinks that the reason i don't give starcraft it's due is because i used to be a decent player and i underestimate the time/effort i put into it to get good. He's probably right i did play for years...

Also i give more respect for teamwork based games like CS/dota/etc then i do single player games like starcraft. Now I'm not saying someone like fRod is just a superior gamer to someone like jaedong... But more that i respect the teamwork/communication aspect of his skill. I think all those games require skill just different types of it.

In any case poker is harder then all of that, although i bet if i put as much time into poker as i did starcraft (3-6 hours a day) i'd be much better lol.

stop playing video games dude, such a waste of mental energy and time.

if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN

I still play them to unwind and relax, but i don't play a large amount like i used to.

most of my free time is devoted to mma.

I played a shit load of stacraft back in the days.

Probably even more cs 1.6, CS is alot more fun on LAN, and the competing aspect of it. But starcraft is the better game of the two.

Milkman lol i didnt spend half a thousand on a phone so i could play it cool and be all stealth

i like CS on vent probably almost as fun as on a LAN.

I think though starcraft is the easier to have fun with since it only requires 2.
