Was with her for over 3 years, living together for some two and a half.
Did you have to deal with this kind of a thing before and how did you do it? Did you stay friends?
She was the first girl i was serious with, planning to get kids and grow old with and everything..
My job starts in one month, I got the gig and the Norwegian tech company. What I'll be doing in first few months is almost pure cold calling to businesses, finding new prospects and closing with existing ones after a trial of the product is given to them for a few months. It's a life consuming job where you are expected to socialize and party with your co workers a ton and be very busy, I can't wait to start http://i3.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/003/619/Untitled-1.jpg
won a sattelite to the $109 TCOOP HU today but its a bit above my roll so ia anyone interested in ph switching 10 or 20%
have not really got anyone to vouch for me exept my mom who thinks i am a trustworthy person, and i have bought some percentages from drakk during the wcoop.
I thought I would right a blog as I'm changing to MAC and needed to import my hands into PT3. I was planning to import just this years but HEM would only let me export the whole database, when I tried to export this years hands it kept on running out of memory and I couldn't be bothered with it.
So 20 days into the grind and I'm still going strong ....well I say that but the past week has been horrible. Basically since the last post it's just been break even poker I think I played like 90k-95k hands or something like that and up around 5K. As said it's been a struggle I looked at my results and I'm break even at PLO 6 max and 5k up at HUPLO :D, I swear though I will crack 6 max people play so awful at times even the regs, sure I'm guilty of it to but I try and improve and learn from the mistakes I see from not just me but others as well.
I'm at 63kVPPS so basically 1 day ahead of schedule.
Another thing I bought a MacBook Air the other day and feel like such a mug paying £1.3k for it makes me feel sick just thinking of it. I think my 27" imac was around the same price as that, but what the hell it's only money and I love it. My old laptop would tend to over heat on me and burn my leg and then lag a lot. The MacBook is pretty good with that and it hasn't heated up at all. It's small and compact very light with a slick design. I do have a ipad that a bought about a month ago but I prefer having a keyboard and also I want to be able to multi task better, you just really cannot do that on a ipad so I'm going to get rid of it.
Thats all for now I will post graphs when I hit a 100k hands hopefully within next week/week and a half I should be at Supernova, I think I have around 170kfpps so not to far away from the 4K bonus which should be nice.
I'm asking for 30NL stake cause I've to pay my University studies, and the only way I can is using my bankroll :S. I'll appreciate if you want to give me coaching on 30NL and higher levels. I can play 30k hands per month, and I have a deal of 45% of rakeback.
This is my last semester at Engineer School, and I have to paid 2k usd before february 15th.
I know this might not be the perfect place to ask about spelling/grammar and stuff but Im gonna give it a shot anyway =)
Im writing a scientific report which Im going to attach in an application for a PhD position, so I want it to be as good as possible. My supervisor has read what I've written so far and given me suggestions as to what to change. Most of her suggestions are actually about pure language stuff and not about the content. The thing is, her english isnt the best and Im not too sure about some of her "corrections". Below are some of the things Im not sure about. If you could tell me which line is correct (or if neither is correct, how it should be written), I would appreciate it alot.
1.
My version: The solution at grid point (x_i, y_i) is denoted v_ij
Her version: The solution at a grid point (x_i, y_i) is denoted by v_ij

Pokerstars Dinner in Vancouver + 39k Pot!!by Joeingram1, January 19
Whats going on guys, still need to write my SNE prop bet wrap up blog but I have alot of things to write/say about the few month long grind so want to make sure I'm in the writing mindset. This month has been incredibly well and I think pokerstars is rewarding me for playing 450k plo hands in December with this ridiculous run good at high stakes to start the year including my biggest pot ever won
Obv Rafe was the spot in this game and the only reason I was playing so high, he wasn't 3betting that much preflop and after he potted I was moreso praying it wasn't AAxx with nut flush draw but when he tanked for like 20 seconds I was like holy crap I might actually have the best hand with bottom pair, and I was an 80 percent fave for a 39k pot, heart sure was pumping on the turn when he picked up a bit more outs but on the river it was going crazy, like holyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!
This is how my graph is looking since I moved back into my 2nd canada place where the run good officially lives, almost made it to +100k but not quite there yet
Pokerstars hosted a dinner for some Vancouver supernova's the other night that I attended and had a great time. This is my second get together organized by Pokerstars that I have attended. The first was on Thanksgiving for the USA relocatees that was great, it kinda sucked having to be in Canada and grinding on Thanksgiving so this was a great moral booster for myself and just another reason why Stars is amazing to its plyers, I got to meet some lp'ers who I've only known online and got to meet the Canada Rep for this part of the world for Pokerstars, Rich and his wife. The dinner the other night here at HY steakhouse was for Canadian supernovas but luckily me and my friend Matt (rivrmeadream) got an invite and got to meet some more pretty cool guys from the area. Had a chance to meet a guy I've grinded a ton of PLO with and he was the only one brave enough to go out with us afterwards, prob can't blog that story. Rich gave away a few pairs of hockey tickets through 8 way PLO flips and obv I binked the first one for my hometowm Blackhawks vs Canucks, everyone was happy for me of course. Of course we ordered a ton of appetizers, double drinks and deserts as the night was on Pokerstars and everyone figured we could all use some more rakeback. I know not everyone is happy with the changes made this year to the VPP system but I have tried turn the negative into a positive for me personally and figured out a way to maximize my rakeback and try to improve my winrate. Previously it was very profitable to nit it up while 24 tabling with the mentality that I could breakeven while earning 120k but now that is not the case, in deciding to take a different approach and open up my game a ton while playing in better games higher stakes I have been able to make as much money in the first few weeks of the year then I might be able to make the whole year with 24 tabling + SNE.
I made a video at the stars dinner so you guys can see what a real life pokerstars employee looks like and some other poker players look like, lighting kinda meh
Starting a blog on lp.net has been one of my new year's resolutions for this year. So we're almost 3 weeks into it and I think it's time to begin. For the record, I don't count some bonus whoring attempt from 2008 as a legitimate start of my blogger's career...
So, about me. I'm 21 and I'm currently on a gap year after 2 years of studying economics. Originally I had a beautiful plan of going to Thailand this year with some of my friends to grind there. Then we changed it to going to Brasil with just one friend. Then I went busto so farewell my plans, I'm stuck grinding in Poland living with my family.
The grind was pretty much a struggle before January. I was in debts and I couldn't make any decent profit. When I had a session in + I would lose it the next day and so on. Currently I'm up 10k in Jan, paid my debts and managed to earn a golden star on sharkscope so I'm pretty excited about that. But knowing how sensitive that shit is I captured it with a screen shot in case I will need a reminder of this achievement http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8283/gslol.jpg
But I'm not planning on grinding 180man sngs forever. The games become more and more reg infested and pushbotting 7-8hrs a day isn't that fulfilling nor giving a perspective of becoming REAL BALLA. But it's definitely the best option for a small bankroll, so I'm gonna stick to it for some more time and if I score some big tourney or grind up a decent roll I'm gonna jump into PLO for good.
The second big goal for this gap year is to lose weight. Working on it. Signed up to the gym some time ago and started running this week. Gonna have to force myself into some diet I suppose and that's the hardest part.
The last thing I wanted to say is that I am always pissed off at myself for dicking around on interwebs and not doing anything useful when I don't grind. So recently I came across this cool series of Neil deGrasse Tyson's series that is fun to watch and doesn't make me feel like I'm wasting time. There it is:
Well I realise this is not the greatest thread saver of all time, maybe I will search the web for some chicks next time. We'll see
In defense of Internet Explorerby TheLink, January 18
Ok so to cap off a bad afternoon I finally caved into friends and the internet in general and decided to switch from Internet Explorer and mess with some other browsers. Fuck has that ruined my day.
1. I don't care if Firefox is protecting me from the bad people if you have to spend 10 minutes every time I fire it to update then its an unusable fucking browser. And no I don't want a million add-ons to get features you should have as default.
2. Chrome, fuck off. I don't care about google+, I don't use gmail, stop forcing the whole google thing on me, all I wanted was your browser.
3. Opera, stop displaying my porn sites everywhere for friends and family to see.
4. When I hit new tab I want google to come up. Why do I have to navigate away from a blank page through a series of menus every time I open a new tab? why is explorer the only browser on the web that is capable of taking me to the home page?
5. I'm a starcraft player and a gamer in general, I idly spam clicks, a lot. Pokerstars drove me nuts until I figured out how to stop it bringing up options every time I right clicked. As I type this I can't tell which random clicks keep telling Opera to go back a page, at least it saves this post for me.
Explorer has none of the above 5 problems whereas the browsers I've tried so far have most/all of them. It has by far the easiest to navigate interface/tools etc. especially for those who are tech illiterate like me. I know people like to quote speed and security as I.E.'s faults but any differences there are totally unnoticeable to 99% of the world so unless any tech-guys want to quote numbers at me or something proving its incompetence then its definitely the best browser on the web.
Also, felt like leaving my graph here too. I suck but I run good.
I have this friend of mine who plays NL10 SH and wants to move out from Stars. I haven't played anywhere else except PS for some time, so I'm not familiar with recent possibilities.
He 4-tables. Bonus/rakeback greatly appreciated. Please help.
Tilted? Come. Some songs to feel better ...by whamm!, January 18
My favorite new Remix artists, RAC (Remix artists collective)
they mostly do indie type or hipster music and somehow make the songs even better.
If you felt better after listening. You're welcome
I had a right total ACL reconstruction on the 10th of this month and i've been in a lot of pain ever since. I'm also missing bone cartilage in parts of my right knee so they created microfractures in the bone to stimulate cartilage growth. The thing with the microfracture is that i cant apply any weight to the right leg for 6-8 weeks, so when i try to talk i have to use an imobolizer (special knee bace) on my right knee, and when i'm using my crutches i cannot let my right foot to ever touch the ground. So everywhere i go for about 6 weeks i have to use crutches. Long story short, today i had my 1st poker session in over a week which lasted for about 2 hours (baby steps, will try to go for 3 hours tomorrow). After 2 hours my knee started to get really warm, i guess because i was sitting in my computer chair and the right leg wasn't elevated, but tomorrow i plan to have some ice packs on hand. All i can say is i'm feeling much better each day and i keep seeing improvements in the range of motion of my knee. I still have to pee in a hand held urinal because i pee every 2 hours usually (even before the surgery, i just always pee a lot since i'm always drinking water) and putting on the knee emobilizer can be sometimes painful just for a bathroom trip and back. Anyways, wish me luck for a speedy recovery, take care everyone
I'm in graduate school for physical therapy (doctor of pt program), caught an acquaintance of mine cheating on our last exam. Our faculty is very trusting (to a fault, apparently). Long story short, + Show Spoiler +
dude sits next to me for the exam and I keep seeing him looking over at my exam. I cover my sheet up. Next, he decides to sort through his backpack, looking for a pencil, 6-7 times (coincidentally, every time someone is asking our professor a question). Towards the end, he whispers to the girl in front of me (who was getting up to leave), "what'd you get for number 24?" She gives him the WTF look, he pauses, and says "just kidding..." Later, dude goes up to the front of the class to ask a question, I turn in my exam and go back to my seat. I then decided to check to see what he was looking at, I lift the flap of his backpack and see our filled out study guide (the only thing in the backpack). Mention it to my roommate, she tells me she saw him cheat on an exam earlier this term. So,
100% dude was cheating. He then has the audacity to say "easy exam" to my friend and I afterward. So what do you do?
70% Passes as long as your GPA is above a 3.0 cumulative. Dude is an A/B Student, If I had to estimate, I'd say he's got around a 3.6 after 2 terms. We had the same study guide, as we did it as a group, and our study guide had about 85% of the questions on the exam covered; so anyone who studied with it should be expecting about a B to a B+ on the exam. Whether you get an A or a B really doesn't matter unless you're A) trying to get into the military afterward or B) considering getting your Ph.D at some point.

update: program is competitive, clinical rotations are done by lottery, with the highest GPA's being most likely to get their top choice. Additionally, there are competitive clinical sites which require you to be in the top 5% of your class in order to apply/attend.

My flatmate Stroggos and I have extra motivation for the next 2 weeks. Grinding it out, who ever makes the least in $EV will have to do a stunt.
Things like Extreme Ironing in the freeway road island, or loser has to sing Rebecca Black in the city center for cash.
But for the first one we decided on something simple and good for personal devlopment: Loser has to talk to 5 hot girls in the mall, each for more than 2 minutes, without them walking away/ slapping/ calling the cops.
Going to be pretty hard to keep a convo with a stranger going that long with my current skills. Winner pays the loser a completion bonus of $200 which will help to even out variance a little, and make sure the stunt gets done.
Keeping he focus on EV is already making me play better and rethink some spews.
Going to play some monster sessions of focused poker so strogg has to deal with akward conversations!
I saw Arlo Guthrie live a few days ago. The guy is fucking awesome. He's funny as hell and he can sing a whole bunch of different things really good.
"Comming into Los Angeles"
"St. James Infirmary" (classic old blues standard)
"Evangelina" (Crappy country)
"This land is your land" (his dad's most known song)
In my darkest hour (great song)
Check him out if you have the chance. The guy seems like a soberish version of that guy in that film with the dude from the Big Lebowski and that guy that was in Miami Vice.
