Bought tickets 24th Dec to 9th Jan. Flying from Sydney to BKK.
Any1 gonna be there? Wanna meet up and hit the ping pong shows?
ANy advice? There's going to be 4(maybe more) of us going and we're not sure whether to book hotels from here or just do it once we arrive. Im not sure how easy it is done over christmas period as it is most busy time(apparently)
We want dont want to stay at BKK too long and wanna somehow make our way to Full Moon Party at Ko phangan. From there maybe go Koh Samui or Koh Tao. Hire some Quad bikes and rage in the jungles!!!
Finally got my roll to $500 so I took a NL25 shot. Went pretty well at the beginning, went up a few buyins but then I ran horrible. Told myself if I went to -2BI id drop back down to NL10 and grind it back up, cause I got rakeback coming on fri anyway and I can probably take another shot then. Gotta practice good bankroll management -.- My lines were pretty bad now that I look back but ugh these hands fucked me. try again tommorow

Tom, my future wife and i went to her friends thanksgiving dinner. Here's some pics of us there, so you know how we look currently. And below are pics of us when were 75 years old. Enjoy.
Spent this summer in LV, played in 2 WSOPS, 1st one $1,000 FR i show up 2 hrs late and bust 88 vs AA like first 20 minutes was retarded
Second one $1500 6max, I get a sick stack top 100 all the tourney. got moved to a new table. shark to my right has me covered rest are average to below average mtters.
I get 77 like 7 hands in.
300/600 i make it 1500. bb flats (FTP hoodie and gear, he was solid player)
7TJhh flop, he checks, i make it 3k, he minrr to 6k. obv hes 3betting TT/JJ oop, only hand im scared of is 98ss.
ALL-IN - Turn 4 - River 9 - he has Q8hh for a rivered straight
cool, was a pot for top 10 with 400 to go
Partied my ass off with Jlost88 (LostAccount) and PlayMoneyyyy, both LPers, Jlost is a sick hero, and one fun motherfucker.
John and I draged Playmoneyyy to some crazy clubs and had a sick goin away night when johnny boy was headin back to Canuckland, was an epic night to say the least...
Met Raszi and Frink down there, watched a Joe Cada celebration, he was a gracious winner, retarded hes quitting, i told him other day at table to just grind 25/50 live. hes obv still v solid @ online mtts from my limited experiences w/ him at the table. Met more ppl, forget, smoke to much, love dispenseries. =)
was staked for a while, hit mulligan, got off stake
won some dough, paid some debts, went nuts in vegas clubs.
hung with a lot of great ppl and roomied with Sharp.Info who was a standup guy and a very promising solid mtter.
Got Rhinowned a lot
Had good times
Car got impounded
Offered Car to anyone in house who wanted to pay to get it out and give me $200.
Sharp snapcalls
Cars only worth around 1500, was 500 to get out of impound, 500 gas, food, motels etc, woulda been atleast 1500 to get home.
cut the loss flew home *updated for byrnesam*
Had a nice lil 2 day streak won 5k
cashed it out and flew home
rooming with a great friend, chillin w/ everyone in my hometown n some insane hotties, haven't been here in 8 years, its pretty fuckin sweet.
epic house that would cost me a ton in LV, surrounded by good people.
Setting up my workstation tomorrow.
Had cashed pretty much everything out.
Bought a $1350 bed, paid rent, partying (oct 3 was bday), had fun
have like 285 left on my stars account
gonna run that up starting with $4 180 man SNG's and a few other small stakes games and progressively moving up. When I hit 600, I'll most likely grind NL25 for the hourly there (up 600 should be up 700 over 11k hands in the late summer whenever i played cash, thats where I mostly played) I'll be playing many mtts too, and $4 180s and $3r 180s and 11 non turbo 180s as well and grinding 55s and under
im going to grind $55 mtts and under for a good while. a lot of money to be made on the lower limit mtts and sng's. actually close to tlb like top 30-40, but haven't been grinding in about a month, have just played a lil here n a lil there cuz leavin vegas / moving / bday / life
Back to grind tomorrow, setting up desk, goin and getting chair, its on, donkey kong.
Plan to have 6k by 11/1/2010 on pokerstars
Don't wanna redeposit, been spending too much, but would if need be over a stake obviously
It is definitely an adjustment to play correctly but the primary thing I dislike about live is that my roll isn't big enough so I can't really play my A+game
...still... combining that considerable risk with the fact that 99.90% of the people I play with just don't get it... conclusion = live rocks
All in all I am about halfway to my monthly goal. I did not figure most of the time spent this far would be done live. In the last live session I played however, variance hurt me a good bit so I grudgingly decided to make the wiser move while I still have no real deadline and the freedom to do so. I need to start focusing more on my online rolls that need rebuilding http://www.imageshuffle.com/images/40pt.jpg
That pic above isn't the total monthly amount - it's just since my last blog - doesn't suffice imo
and graph http://www.imageshuffle.com/images/24Amount_Won_in_USD_over.jpg
I am considering selling a percentage of my action for several fantasy basketball leagues. I am currently in 11 leagues and I've spent over 10K in buyins. There are several more leagues that I'm interested in joining and I'd like to reduce my cash outlay and my variance as well. Considering that my ROI in fantasy leagues over the past 10 years has been over 300%, I'd rather not pass up the +EV. The additional time investment from managing 11 leagues and 16 leagues is minimal so I'd like to maximize my EV and participate in as many leagues as possible.
I have not yet decided on the markup but it will certainly be far far less than fair value to the point where I believe it would be massively +EV for any backer. As for my results, quite a few people on this forum will vouch for me. I've finished ITM (usually first) in every single LP fantasy baseball/basketball league over the past 4 years (7 straight cashes). I took first (with NBB) in the high stakes 2+2 league last year and I can provide screenshots for the numerous other first place finishes and cashes in high stakes live leagues that I participate in. I feel as though I have an edge in fantasy basketball against even the toughest competition and my results certainly back that up.
For anyone that decides to buy action, Please note that I will not come in contact with your money. The money should be sent directly to the commissioner of the respective league and you will be paid directly as well. As for the trustworthiness of the commissioner, I can say that I have looked into it and I feel comfortable sending my own money. However, I will provide full details of each commissioner and it will be up to each prospective backer to decide if that person's credentials are satisfactory. If you feel at all uncomfortable with the commissioner's credibility, I advise that you do not participate in that league. If the commissioner ends up not paying out, I will be scammed as well so I am not willing to take on the added liability to make a personal guarantee. I am including this disclaimer so that there is full and fair disclosure. With that said, I have a high degree of confidence in the commissioner of each league that I participate in, to the degree that I am willing to risk my own money. I'd like to add though that there are quite a few people that can vouch for my trustworthiness. Over the past 5+ years that I've been on this forum, I've had many dealings with quite a few users and I'm sure that every single person will attest to the fact that I've been honest and fair.
One backer for each league will be given access to team as a co-manager. However, you will not be given any managerial control. The access is solely for you to view the progress and I will maintain full managerial control over the team.
Here are the leagues that I'm considering:
-$2500 buyin 15 team 10 category auction league (FG made and FT made instead of points). Pays to 3 places, first prize $20K.
-$1500 buyin 9 category auction league. teams and payout TBD
-$1500 buyin 9 category snake draft league. teams and payout TBD
-$1000 buyin 8 category auction league. teams and payout TBD
-$500 buyin 16 team 10 category auction league. Pays to 3 places, first prize $4K.
Note that all leagues are roto and not H2H. Roto is a lot more skill based and has less variance as well. For this reason, I no longer participate in any H2H leagues.
I'm not quite sure of what the markup will be and what the minimum amount is that I would accept. All I can say is that if you are interested, pm me and once I gauge the interest, I'll respond with more details. One thing I am sure of is that I will not sell more than 50% in any league so you can be sure that I am personally and substantially invested as well. Thanks for reading and wish me luck this season!
+ 8 BI at 12$ HU SNGS played ~ 90 of them.
would have been + 9 Bi probably if i didnt accidently quit one of the sngs with 60-40 chip advantage ...
Dont know just played many tables and many sngs and at one point i thought i had hand history open and wanted to close it.
but there always came that message that i didnt really read cause i was busy playing ^^ and that annoyed me ^^ so after 3 times i just clicked " yes" and then i realized oops did exit an open sng where i had the chip lead
overall month so far i put in semi decent volume but results are mixed.
Hi guys
i need a tranfer for 500 $ I gave FTP or UB, I need PS.
I will send first only in increments of 100 or more.
I am on this forum from 2006.
Waiting PM.
So I guess I can say that I'm fairy happy but a bit frustrated now. Breakevenish (a little bit down) this month and UO Valencia was annoying (busted an hour or two before the money). Down last month and didn't play much. Have some new plans, and kind of had a talk with the gf about a bunch of stuff and right now stuff feels much better and a lot less restricting.
Going to get back on the grind now, and try to concentrate on stuff instead of just floating around.
Brutal last few days. Made $700 back today so getting back on track. Made a shitload of VPPs too. On saturday I played 304 HUsngs, probably the most anyone has ever played in one day (maybe not, but I would guess it was), making almost 6k VPPs. 56k VPPs so far.
Hey so this is my first real blog post I guess, been lurking too long . I started grinding and beat NL2 and NL5 really easily, so now I'm working my way up playing NL10. Have only been playing NL10 a few days, loving the rakeback and running pretty decently. Started out running bad with some tilt, but now have recovered and this is what I have so far @ 3.72bb/100 http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/5808/graphu.gif
and then I looked at my showdown winnings and yikes :x http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/7935/graphshowdown.gif
I know it can be standard at micros, but should it still look like this @ NL10? Below are some stats if they help at all, I would appreciate any and all advice. I have been 16tabling and I know dropping tables will improve my game, but im gonna keep playing like a nit and getting money till the games get harder. Thx for your help! http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/7352/statslq.jpg
