Well I moved to Chicago a few weeks ago, and my best girlfriends friend is studying medicine in Chicago, but he's also a former high stakes poker player. So he, I and another friend headed out to Horseshoe Hammond in Indiana to play some poker. I hadn't played live in almost a year, so I was anxious to play and compare the skill levels to playing live in Sweden, and also some of the differences (like tipping the dealer).
We took the shuttle out at 18:00, and had to wait till 20:45 before sitting down at 1/2 (200 cap). I sit down, and play at pretty tight table. Didn't go to showdown once, but managed to chip up to 300 or so, before I decided it was time to change tables, because it was too tight.
Sat down at another table that seemed worse than the first one, but played far better, a lot looser and a lot of bad players. Even the 'regulars' are terrible. Due to not playing regularly, I had one hand that got me thinking, but it's clear today.
Hand plays like this:
Pre-flop: I'm on the button, and get 3 people limping infront of me, I raise to 14, with (I got $800 or so) , SB who is a fish sitting with $135 calls, 2 limpers fold, and the TAG straight forward player calls, he covers.
Flop: - iirc pot is $48, SB checks, TAG checks, and I bet $30 into $48. SB insta pushes allin for $120 or so. Straightforward TAG thinks for a min or so, and cold calls. I'm pretty sure that he has a set now. I think the right play is to call flop and re-eval turn. I ended up folding after 2-3 minutes and tabled my OESFD + Bottom pair, turn and river bricks but it doesn't matter because I can't be results orientad.
Anyhow played well, well timed bluffs, and could extract a lot of value. Was never really allin during the whole day. Ended up up 3 buyins or so, so I was pleased. Hope to go back soon!
I turned 26 a few weeks ago, and celebrated my B-day in New York with a few friends, had a great time, and really enjoyed New York. Got a business trip out in LA in 2 weeks or so, and another family gathering in San Diego, so I'm looking forward to everything.
Was doing great yesterday too but start running bad and fucked up and moved up and played too many 200s and 300s vs decent players and ran bad there too. w/e, games r great and I haven't forgotten how to play. Time to reclaim the lobbies that were mine for so long and now seem to belong to bad-breakeven regs.
Kevin Connolly is the worst actor ever.by byrnesam, May 28
Given that i have a lot of free time, it gives me the opportunity to really take a step back and evaluate whats going on.
I really like Entourage, for all its short-comings the series has me hooked, and with the imminent release of season 8 and the feature length film, I would like to take the time to inform everyone and anyone that Kevin "Eric 'E' Murphy' Connolly" is probably the worst actor that exists today.
He is ruining the series on his own.
Lets take a look:
5: Season 1 - 7: He is a monumental fuck-up. Granted this is character base, but i think it speaks volumes of him as an actor. He cant perform the most basic of fucking tasks and is pretty much the reason Vincents career has been on the ropes numerous times.
We are supposed to believe, that the fuck-up of the entire show, is now working out of the offices of one of Hollywoods most successful? AND THAT HE IS DOING THIS WHEN HIS ONLY FUCKING CLIENTS AGENT WORKS FROM ANOTHER? AND DRIVING AN ASTON MARTIN.
GODDAMN. Im sure he has been given an office space in L.As most exclusive district to manage his 1 client, who happens to be a coke-head and run by someone else. When do they see a return on this dumbass?
4: HES GINGER. Pretty much. Nuff Said.
3: He cant act. Enjoy watching his fucking stagnant ass "HUUUUUUR WHUT?!" attitude for 8 seasons. If you want to watch him in anything other than Entourage, expect much of the same. The part of Eric was written with him in mind. The writers must be on fuckin crack.
They arent yours Kevin... Unless you happen to be Kobe Bryant tall and the people at HBO did some lord of the rings special effects. You fucking midget. DEAL WITH IT
1: He ruined the best scene in Entourage. Season 5 - episode seven "Gotta look up to get down"
As Ari arrives at the airport to fly out to Switzerland to fly to Geneva to speak with Alans boss about becoming studio head. Ari tells Vinnie that hes in a position to get him any job he wants in the future. This moment is crucial. We see the boundry between boss, client and friend smashed. Vincent says "Id like to finish what we started" which is a little surprising to the audience, more surprising is that Ari really cares about his opinion.
Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" plays during this whole scene, adding to its emotional value - we see the turmoil between agent and client and friend.
After Ari has admitted why he is flying to Geneva we see Vincent getting on the plane
"YO! WHATS UP?!" Says E, in his typical droll style
"They just offered Ari the studio-head position..."
"IS HE GUNNA TAKE IT!?!"
FUCK
YOU
ERIC
MURPHY
YOURE A DUMBASS. WHY WOULD YOU PRETEND THAT ANYTHING BEYOND WHATEVER VINCENT HAS INSTANTLY SAID TO YOU HAS ANY DEEPER MEANING.
He is shocked when he hears the news from Vin, even though he clearly would have no real fucking idea what was going on. For all intents and purposes this would be a great deal for Vinnie. Thats the surprise, that Vinnie cares more about the relationship forged prior to that moment.
ERIC RUINS IT BY COMING ALONG WITH HIS SHIT ACTING AND BEING A RETARD.
Lets not also forget that he gets with hot chicks. Even with being Vinnie Chases manager, i dont believe this guy could get with more than a 4, and yet we were forced to endure his endless hot chick streak until he ended up with Sloan, who despite being equal in height is clearly leagues above anything Kevin could ever get.
He is also portrayed as a "tough guy". You dont get much fuckin softer than some pussy ass 4ft ginger cunt. Why did you do this HBO? Why did you write him this way?
He also wears running shoes throughout the show. Im guessing this adds a couple of inches. Nothing says Hollywood like a pair of New Balance.
Of all the characters in Entourage, including the ancillary characters, Kevin is the worst.
Congratulations Kevin Connolly for consistently being the most terrible actor in Entourage after 7 seasons. All reports seem to show you being as terrible and as douche-baggy in real life as you are on the show. Which is no surprise.
Recently moved to Thailand and trying to setup moneybookers/make initial deposit. Is anyone willing to transfer me 90$ on moneybookers for 100 on full tilt? would be greatly appreciated.
Trusted LP members only, or you must transfer first. ( My account is 6 years old and I have done transfers before + this is a small amount of money)
I started playing poker online in 2009, i was introduced to carbon poker by a coworker and that's where i began the ride. I started with Mtt's and sng's i had no real idea how to approach cash games. I was immediatley hooked on the excitement of the possibility of making the money, the adrenaline that comes with shoving all in. I did well with the sng's and some small cashes, a $20 cash was monumental to me at the time, something to build on. My first big downer came in a MTT i had been playing for hours surviving by marginal luck and patience, i was right outside the money looking at a minimum $150+ cash if i made it. I was down to about 6BB with pocket Aces in late position, had to ship it, got called with 910 off suit. flop comes 8J7 much too my dismay Turn 3 flop A. I busted out 2 positions out of the money. I got really down, i felt like i had been cheated. I searched the internet for odds on that type of hand, questioned the forums, i just couldn't believe it. It was my first feel of a downsing and the variance of the game. I went on a terrible downswing, at the time my cousin had introduced me to pokerstars and fulltilt and 6max cash tables. I jumped right in at .10/25 not really knowing what i was doing and not even close to an adequate roll to play at those stakes. I quickly went broke. I studied the limits the strategies, bankroll management and still the alure of 10/25 25/50 was too much i continually watched my roll dissapear. i hit a few heaters during this time but its a certainty that if you play outside your roll u will bust EVERY time. I met a regular on Pstars and shared my troubles with him. One night he just point blank asked me when i was gonna stop throwing away money. Of course i said now!!! First advice he gave me was to stop playing 5 or 6 different things and different stakes. And he had me give him a history of my career in poker. Since my income dosen't allow for a maximixed roll he encouraged me to save and start a new roll the right way. I started all over, decided ok its MTT SNG or bust!!! no cash, no testing the waters stick to what ur best at. I humbly started playing 1.10 2.20 3.30 turbo and rebuy tournaments with my focus on building my stack as much as possible before the addon period. Playing ABC poker, and in the right spots marginal hands such as open ended draws and suited connecters, AA KK all in make em pay to play. I slowly started getting deeper and deeper until June of last year i cashed for $700 T$ in a 1.10 sattelite on PS. I immediately converted it to cash and cashed it out, i left around $150 or so. I then focused on the knockout sng's on PS i an epic night back in feb, i played in 4 $13.50 buy in knockout sng's busted out and kept playing, got frustrated went to the ring games, lost my ass again, my $275 roll was reduced to about $65.00. I was so ashamed of my reckless play. i stopped for about two hours, had an energy drink and said to myself ok u have $65 left if you lose it all tonight ur done, period, if u wanna keep playing u gotta earn it back. I registered for two $13.50 buy in knockout sng's won both of them ended up back up to $170, registered in a 3.30 rebuy add on MTT with about 6k people, finished 8th, cashed for $475.00, played a 1.10 MTT and a 2.20 MTT ended up the night at $740 cashed out 700 right away. After that night i really took a break, a couple of weeks actually. I realized i was worrying too much about making money and forgetting to have fun and forgetting why i fell in love with the game. I know there are many stories out there like this, and i know a $700 win or roll isin't much when there are thousands won every minute out there. But to me it was a huge accomplishment coming from a guy who used to deposit 10 bucks here and 10 there and watch it dissapear in mere seconds. in the process i rediscovered the fun i was having, the adrenaline fix that i loved so much. Since then i still play in my spare time, sng's freerolls and MTT. the buy ins are small and my amount of stress is minimal, and i still have the simple goal of just making my play profitable. Ive read a few slansky books and watch videos regularly. I thank you guys for reading this and if anyone has any advice good or bad please feel free to comment

French scientists have confirmed with computer models that Gliese 581d, a planet orbiting a red dwarf star about 20 light years from here, has a stable atmosphere, comfortable temperatures, and a surface covered in liquid water. It's the first planet orbiting another star that could definitely support life, and it's basically next door.
While Gliese 581d is too small and far away to observe directly, we can infer some things about it from the gravitational effects that it has on its parent star and fellow planets. We know that Gliese 581d is about twice the size of Earth (and six times the mass), we know that it's rocky (not a gas giant like Jupiter or Saturn). This means that it's large enough and dense enough to be able to hold on to a substantial atmosphere. We can also estimate about how much energy Gliese 581d receives from its red dwarf star, and based on all of this information, French scientists have been able to model a range of potential climates showing that "GJ581d will have a stable atmosphere and surface liquid water for a wide range of plausible cases."
"Will have" is a pretty strong language when you're talking about a planet some 117,569,996 million miles away, but based on the models, it sounds like it's a sure thing. That's not to say it would necessarily be a pleasant place to live, though. Gliese 581d probably depends on a significant greenhouse effect to keep itself warm since it gets relatively little energy from its star. The atmosphere is mostly CO2, and while you'd get clouds and warm rain and oceans and stuff, the surface itself would be "in a perpetual murky red twilight." The planet also may be tidally locked (meaning that one side perpetually faces its sun), and at double Earth's gravity, it's not exactly a vacation spot.
Despite all this, it would be an ideal place to find some extraterrestrial plant life, and where there are plants there might be animals, specifically animals which have adapted to high gravity, low light, low oxygen environment. So think small and low to the ground with big eyes. And of course, there's lots of potential for animal life in warm oceans, too.
While 20 light years is extremely close on the galactic scale, using current technology it would still take us humans about 300,000 years to reach the Gliese system. A better bet, at least for now, might be to just send an interstellar probe, which might be able to reach Gliese 581d in just a century or two.
