I think it'll be HUGE for Soccer in the states here.
Also the fact that Beckham wants to purchase a team.
Living in MN it's also very interesting since the new Vikings Football stadium is being built and the owner of the vikings has exclusive rights to an MLS expansion team. (which I hope they buy MN United FC and not start a brand new team)
So I've been playing the $1.50 hyper hu sng's on stars recently. Been making steadily making a small profit over about 30 of them. I'm just wondering if anyone could give me some tips and advice for playing the micro stakes hyper hu sng's. Also I think the rake is kind of high? So I should be looking to move up asap no?
As someone who works 80+ hours a week regularly where there's a direct correlation to progress and success based on the level at which I'm able to maintain concentration and get things done I'm looking to optimize brain use.
Proposed:
-Exercise a few times a week and on all days when not taking any other substances
-Caffeine no more than once every 3 days (the half-life is about 5.5 hours, and not looking for any dependence or withdrawal symptoms)
-Modafinil no more than once every 3 days (the half-life is 12 hours, but no dependence, just looking for full effect when taking it so want a full day without it in my system)
-Nicotine. Psychologically I feel like it's better to just limit usage to one day every few to ward off addiction, but because the half-life (2 hours) is so short and it could be taken multiple times that day it could still be troublesome. This is the one I'm most worried about because of addictive properties and withdrawal symptops when addicted. If the negatives outweigh the positive or I do get addicted, I'll have to cut it out.
-A nootropic supplement every day (currently Focus Formula)
So over first two weeks it would look like
Day 1: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 80-100mg caffeine
Day 2: 150mg modafinil
Day 3: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 2mg nicotine
Day 4: 80-100mg caffeine
Day 5: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 150 mg modafinil
Day 6: 2mg nicotine
Day 7: 30 minutes aerobic exercise
Day 8: 80-100mg caffeine
Day 9: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 150 mg modafinil
Day 10: 2mg nicotine
Day 11: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 80-100mg caffeine
Day 12: 150 mg modafinil
Day 13: 30 minutes aerobic exercise; 2mg nicotine
Day 14: 80-100mg caffeine
Day 15: 30 minutes aerobic exercise
Data:
I've been doing something very similar to what I'm proposing above for the past few weeks, so I do have a little data to go off of.
I'll keep track of everything that's easily trackable each day along with any notes I have. I have a few EEG headsets, so I'll try to capture a bunch of my brain data as well to hopefully find a bit more substantial evidence that certain drugs have higher correlations with sustained concentration.
I also keep track of my sleep and have over a year's worth of data to compare to so I can see if there are any changes there.
I eat 4-5 meals a day and will try to keep track of that as well.
I welcome any constructive feedback or other peoples' results having done similar experiments.
Video showing off my upgraded Google Nexus 7 system in my car. I actually did this like a year ago but have just been too lazy to record new footage lol.
Last week, after a few days with my gf who basically want sex all the time, my penis became so tired i wasn't able to please her anymore. So i looked a bit on the internet for ways to have more vigor down there, and found this:
Well almost..
After taking down the 3€ storm like 10days ago I final tabled it again my next session 2 days later but ended up 6th iirc so it wasnt worth posting about it..
Yesterday it gave me a tough beat in the very same tourney (16 ppl left i think).. + Show Spoiler +

I like this month a bit. It's not by any means a good month as far as incomes goes. I've lost about 20k, running about 20k under ev in various PLO games. Been taking some fairly serious high stakes shots playing up to 50/100 (but just a few hands) but most of the volume is at 10/20. Been running as at 10/20 and 5/10 and fairly good at 25/50. Had a bunch of bloody stupid hands, including:

God, high stakes is so much fun.
On the other hand I've gotten a few things done and I've bought a car. A Subaru Legacy from 2009, which ran me a bit over 20k. It's kinda of pretty and I think it'll end up being a fairly cheap car considering the has a very good reputation of never, ever breaking down and the fuel economy is great. Now I only need to remember how to drive, lol.
I'll probably play the scoop PLO HU thingy this afternoon if I feel like it and unless I make a serious splash in that I'll probably go back down a bit and regrind some confidence. Thinking
of 8-tabling zoom for a few weeks just to get a lot of hands in since I've really been slacking in that regard so far this year. Also it's very low stress, which is nice.
Also, summer is finally showing it's face in Sweden. That makes me happy, it's been long overdue.
Pretty fucking pumped. I used to go bananas everytime Apple would have a show, release a new ipod and somehow make me have a deep feeling they were ahead of the world. Not anymore.
Now we have Google pimping some ridiculous life changing software and user experiences that just show fast we are developing. Before it was ergonomic and small tech gear, now it is deep root life software.
Since this is my first blog post I will start out with a little bit about myself. I am from the USA and I have been playing poker for fun since the age of 16. I started playing online at 21 and I have a fulltilt account. I never really developed my game and have been pretty much a break even player. I mostly have played poker because I just enjoy the game for what it is. Obviously with black friday I have not been able to play or hone my skills unless I decide to go play 1/2 at either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. I have played sporadivally since Black Friday.
Now onto a question for the very learned players from the U.S. that have been dealing with this black friday issue. I have some funds tied up in fulltilt still and was searching to find information on how to file claims or if they have even started the claims process. Is there anyone that can tell me if www.fulltiltpokerclaims.com is legitimate as they ask for quite a bit of my personal information. I figured some people here would know if this is a scam or not. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
got a free 100 euro br offer on a trading site
Like poker bonuses I'd have to pass quizzes from lessons they provide and afterwards need to clear the money before withdrawing by trading x amount of times. Got some weirdly confusing varengold metatrader software too.
questions I have:
1) How much time do I have to spend to start making money
2) Is it worth having it as a hobby? Will the 100 euro be useful at all or is it too small of an amount to do anything. Maybe learn with it and then get capital once I get good?
3) any success stories here and how much money did you start with?
I'd invest max 1hr/day into it, seems fun as you read about companies and they have all these classes for free. Plus chicks must dig when you tell them "oh I just play the markets a bit honey" + doing well must look pretty good on cv http://www.mamamia.com.au/wp-content/...2011/03/charlie-sheen-wall-street.jpg

Lovely hand after the bubble burst!
On a seperate note - I signed up to complete a charity challenge - 40mile bike ride/4hour hike/1hour canoe in 6weeks!
Any sponsorship would be massively appreciated - trying to raise £4000 between us Even a few dollar!
Switching over to omahaha and need a tracking software. I have a HEM2 pro version which I'd be willing to trade for a Small Stakes version of Omaha Manager or the PT4 equivalent.
Since I'm a complete no-name here I'd obv. be willing to trade over mine first so there's no possibility of scam or anything.
