On Thursday, January 27, President Obama is going to take part in an exclusive YouTube interview. Regular Americans are given a chance to submit their own questions they want the president to answer and vote on which questions they would most like to see the president answer. Currently, the five most popular questions all deal with marijuana and/or drug policy reform. Here is a screenshot of the most popular questions as of 11:00 am today.
Ahmed has decided to go on a trip this summer and he will need money for travel expenses for May, June and July of this year. He will need the money at the end of each of these 3 months. He will borrow these monthly amounts from his savings account and then repay money into the account with monthly payments at the end of the following 9 months: August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April. The account has an interest rate of 0.15% per month, compounded monthly. How much can he spend at the end of each of the 3 months of this summer vacation if he will deposit $538.99 per month for the following 9 months?
Assume that he will withdraw a uniform amount from this account at the end of May, June, and July (3 months) of this summer. He will then deposit $538.99 per month at the end of August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and April (9 months).
Can't get the right answer for this, I've tried everything. Any help would be great, thanks.
So I have like 1.2 million FTP points after never having spent one in my life because of MGR hit. Now with the cash bonuses available, should I go for the 5k bonus (even though you don't get a full 5k because of the rakeback hit), or is there something better?
edit:
Gonna go w/pauly D, so which pauly D? Pic with only 1 hand pointing, bigger head, or 2 hands smaller head? Right or Left? http://imgur.com/12BnS.png
Whoever said you should ever value bet thin, especially at micro stakes, needs to suck a fat cock. There is no value in raising anything on the river if you have showdown value... go fuck yourselves midstakes regs.
I am new LP member so I would like to introduce myself and share my goals with you in my first post here.
My name is Peter, I am 21 years old average guy from the Czech Republic. I am hardly decided to beat poker or die trying. I know poker about 6 years, 2 years take it seriously.
I have not unstuck from micro limits yet, but I think it is the right time to do something with it. I think, if I want to move up through limits, I have to start with it now or never.
Goals (LP) :
- spam this forum as much as I can posting hands, which I am not sure with my play
- comment as much as i can
- read as many topics as i can
- routine updates
- improve my English

ordered a new computer wich should be arriving tomorrow, its a solid i7 950, gtx 470 1,28gig gfcard, 12gig ram, 2TB hd, 80gig SSD disk etc etc, gonna be nice since the one i got now is laggins shit playing sc2 in lategame, and i had alot of problems lately with crashing and stuff.
as for poker i made a couple of volumebets w some people (can find about that blogpost a couple blogs down) but basically 35k hands minimum betting 500$ w barbieman
now with 1 week left to go im gonna take rest of the month off focusing more on SC2 and just chilling, well i prolly will put in some more hands but not to much. havent been able to play SC2 in 2 weeks due to computer crashing all the time, so will have to play a shitton to get up to "the top" again, atleast on the ladder.
Also will pracc alot w my team wich sponsors me w a boost of 150€/month (yeeey) wich is pretty neat, we have a strong tight lineup so gonna have to bring some extra activity due to 2 weeks of all poker
u can visit my team myRev @ http://www.myrevenge.net/ : ) not much exciting there but yea i have alot of high hopes for us
and finnaly more to poker, ive had the best (i think?) pokermonth so far in my life, atleast pretty close to my best one, and ive played over 110 hours and OVER 50k hands wich surpassed my goal of 35k hands. so im pretty proud of myself have been grinding it out more then ive done in a month for like 4-5 months or something.
ive only been playing 1/2$-3/6$ this month (no 5/10+ cuz it fucked me over hardcore in december), mostly on this swedish site but also last couple of days ive finally got some of my roll over on Ongame with eurosuperpoker which just merged with ongame (ongame is growing alot).
and there is running a shit ton of games there so thats nice, catched a sick good heatersession this morning on ongame as u can tell from that graph so ye i feel good about it. will put down alot more volume on ongame later, since there is like running 40+ games above 200NL, compared to the swedish site im playin most of my hands at run like 6-10 games above 1/2 at best, and u need to sit there for hours trying to get more games started wich is a pain in the ass since every fucking reg on the planet instasitsout when its 3/2handed and no one will join if u sit and wait at a table..
21,000$ in the green this month! nice recovery after losing alot in december i feel i start to get a hang on 2/4 atleast for reals now as i have put down alot of volume there now in the last 6 months.
i keep failing at 5/10 but ill get there hopefully
also check out the blogpost under this one for some nice music!
gonna smoke a shitton of weed this week to "celebrate" results + putting down some volume again finally, havent smoked whole month just to keep some grind motivation
speaking of! to mixx up some from my last blogpost, something nice to listen to while stoned:
btw when guitar comes in, really reminds me of donkeykong country 1 and 2 for supernintendo? any1?
Celtics game tonight & Black Card Statusby RAINISM, January 25
Going to the Celtics game tonight against the Cavs. Ya the Cavs are horribad but the tickets were only $20 thanks to my college. If I keep running hot in poker I'll treat myself to some sick seats when the Clippers come to town. <3 Blake Griffin
So for those who got Black Card on FullTilt, how long did it take you guys to get it? I'm at 160 FTP 100-day rolling right now but been getting like 700-1000 FTPs a day for the last few weeks. Hope to get it in like a month and a half. All I really want is that sick fitted hat from the store lol.
Thinking about planning a trip to Cancun for spring break. Anyone know of any good vacation deals? I think I saw a all-inclusive 5-day package for like $450.
Well Poker seems to be more and more attactive for me again lately since the site isnt going nowhere anyway. People are so sick and tired of classifieds and that type of thing and since ive been so out of the loop it was first and last error - which further drove my obssession to make it work by spending more money on it lol. I might go for the retarded route and grind vpps (not even sure if that'll give me profits). Going to start tomorrow with it and try to maintain supernova if i can. 7kvpps is tough when u play 50nl fr.
Anyway a 2p2 midstakes solid winning FR reg msged me on skype that he wanted to move to the Philippines with his GF whos apparently a Filipina born in the U.S., they plan to stay here and study and needed a local to keep them safe and show them the ropes here in the city where i live, he wants to pay for my services but im willing to take live coaching sessions instead, i hope it pans out.
So good luck to me and this time im taking a break from website bs for now and not going back until I have some really solid plan and idea before trying it out, learned the ins and outs of the whole trade but was just cash strapped to make any sort of additional changes.
Before you make a website about anything I haves ome tips:
-Idea should be unique, or at least target a specific demographic, anything very broad and vague without a solid base of registered users is rarely ever going to take off
-Site should be coded well and should be very SEO - friendly, I mean if you can't be seen, how the hell can they know they like your site
-Spend money on the site platform, don't use wordpress, smf, mambo or other free shit that's out there, No one will ever take it seriously, no matter what your content is, people take a look and just feel its made of some free crap, without coding theres nothing much out there for you to use on those free platforms anyway, if you plan on making it profitable spend. gone are the days where u get "lucky"
-content is king, if content is just copy/pasted stuff all over the net, people will know it.
Not only my best SNG session ever, I'm pretty sure I just set the world record for most HUsngs in one day. Was 12 tabling at some point, maybe 13. First day of serious SNE grind, good for ~6.5k VPPs.

anyone have a promo code so i can buy it cheaper than $90? i know some video subscriptions give out a discount someone who already has hem may not have used.
I ordered a monitor from the FTP store today. The site told me to expect 6-8 weeks, but from your experience how long does it take for the item to arrive?
Thanks!
