I just turned 21 recently, however due to the number of assignments I have on, I spent all of my birthday studying
On the plus side, I have now completed: writing a simple compiler for my software project, a lab report on transistor characteristics, a report on my embedded systems interface design project...

ok, so most of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll stop now.

Obviously, I haven't played much poker, since I've mostly been studying, and downloading more music for my mp3 player. On which note, I managed to break my headphones adfasdfadsf how do I study without my headphones to block distractions T_T
I've also applied for some summer jobs, fingers crossed!

So here's my entire September's worth of poker so far:


and a year's graph for giggles:


/brag PT stats >.> Couldn't resist!

I have moved into a new flat that has two heat pumps. Didn't have internet for a while which sucked.

Can't say I've played much poker lately, too busy studying and doing assignments Think I did my project really well though. Also got my mid-year results back, with mixed results. Will definitely be studying lots this semester :/

Random pic of me and some friends at the engineering cocktail party last term:




Off to sleep so I can finish building my audio amplifier tomorrow morning.

I made rather a rushed blog post last night and Pav left me a rather long comment about how I don't have my priorities right.

I believe the comment in my blog he took offense to was "I told you I'd be playing poker instead of studying for my tests"

This was a rather flippant comment and also somewhat untrue, as I had spent the day studying at university before playing poker. The tests begin in 2 weeks time.

I'd also like to point out that I am a full time student studying my third year of electrical engineering, which is certainly not the easiest subject in the world. Without discipline, I doubt I'd have made it this far through my degree already. I certainly do not believe poker is the only option to succeed in life, I find such beliefs laughable.

I'd like to mention the results I got for my last year of study, which put me in the top 15% of all students at my university. I don't wish to brag, but I feel these statistics illustrate my point more clearly than a simple explanation.

These were all full year courses:
Calculus and Algebra: A
Engineering Statistics: A+
Circuits and Systems: B+
Principles of Electronics: B+
Electrical Systems: A
Computers and Modeling: A-
Design and Management: Pass (this course had only a pass/fail grade.)


Poker is, for some reason, the game of leisure among my classmates, and we often get together for a friendly game on Saturday nights. Many of my classmates also use PokerStars, and/or have joined the club "PokerSoc". The amount of poker I actually play is fairly small compared to others on this site. I may have played at most 60k hands in my lifetime on PokerStars. This may answer domyouji and Exhilarate's questions as to why I have so few FPPs. I didn't play many hands and got very lucky!



On a rather lighter matter, I recently found out that two of the people in my class are my cousins. What are the chances?

The first went badly. Here's the second:



Mandatory Hands:

KK. Fold is best, right?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424966

KQ: Nice to win a setup for once.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424961

TT: =)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424960

88: Good read?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424911

AA: Oh wow O_O I was so worried someone had an 8. Biggest pot I've played in/won so far 8D
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424727

33-> set. Weak.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/424109

AA: Aw jeez.. gimme a break
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/423583

99 turned set: so much for slowplaying.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/423535

Q9s flush on river.. Got suspicious.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/423526

The first day winning after a downswing is good.

Back to > $700 again! 8D



Hands:

Some boring hands vs stations:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422246
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422245

Yay, I run good for once!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422242
..or twice!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422241

Action on AA? :O
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422229
Wat. Two hands in quick succession. That guy was a lucksack but I made it end!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/419860
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/419861

Hmm.. this guy seemed a bit aggro but should we really be getting all in pre?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422239

Wat. Probably should have shoved the flop since it's basically a flip against Kx.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422233

Fair amount of history vs this guy. He plays pretty much exactly the same as me so I was trying to think of the line that would piss me off most in his position (with the likes of AK, AQ and low pocket pairs).
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/422226

Come on.. seriously? -_-;
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/419858

I found this gem in the local asian food store:

Here's a brief summary of today's hands.

Flopped 2 pair vs. higher 2 pair
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/395758

hooray for runner runner jacks!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/395765

he called the flop with what?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/395792

66 is obviously better than AA pf. Obviously.
