I know, I know, I foresighted this. I have some extra money on a credit card incase this roll evaporates, but I hope I don't have to use it. I'm also due for some PS bonus, I need about 1o0 or so FPPs, and it will triple my roll
Thing is, 100 FPPs is quite a pain at micro-microstakes, but I hope I'll be there by this weekend
So, no worries, I'll be fine, and it will be an invigorating experience

Bad news, the tap is broken atm

But I do have some fine imported Belgian beer, icecold

Here you go

TNX

here you go! didn't even know I had this one in stock

I'll be having me another Pravda Martini, shaken, not stirred
I'm such a sucker for vodka




So, I decided to go pwn some sng's today, and just today stars decides to crap the sngs. No new ones will be generated until tomorrow 7AM ET. wtf

Thus I decided to use my time well, and am trying to finish Barry Greenstein's book. That book is genius.

The beautiful thing is that it doesn't try to tell you to play this way or that way. It simply recaps as to what to expect of the Degen's lifestyle, and prepares you for it. I'm loving it.


Also, happy valentine mofos! I hope you passed it well. As for me, I ain't got time for chicas this time around.

I want a canadian beer.
Labatt's Blue please.

Glad you could join us

here you go, nice and cold

I've got a hangover ...but as they say "if you fall of your horse, get back on it"

One bourbon, one scotch and one beer please Mr Bartender

I can't serve you all these, you may get too drunk and keep the bouncers busy

But I'll server you some Scotch




And pour myself some too


Cause I need it. Tonight I went over to a friend's house and we played some live poker, $10 SNG style w/rebuys, winner takes all.

I rebought about 4 times, I've been subject to the most outrageous beats.
Live poker has to be rigged. Fuck it.

Does my new favourite bar serve Espresso to0?

I´ve ran w/ KK into AA 3 (three) times last night, all within 20 minutes. Yay yay riggedaments


What about some music in here? I need something....inspiring like this:

Let me hit up sime energy shake, kinda like xtr's




Needed that. I discovered today, that me being a SNG donk, am no good in big MTTs. Sure, I FTd quite a few 180's, but these do not qualify as big MTTs. MTTs are very different from SNGs, and I didn't really know this.
My SNG lineage, however, pays off once I hit the FT. That is why I've never placed worse than 3rd on any of the (admittedly few) FTs I've been to.


Also, this weeks Poker After Dark is especially good, as in good. It has Gold, Ferguson, Chan, Jonston, Hellmuth and Seed.

Huck Seed started particularly well, but then...


LOL LONGPOSTAMENTS

dude yo, a bar!!! nice one!
someone already asked about coffee.

I recently created a new policy on drinking - when someone suggests a long island iced tea and my answer is "why not?" i will remember that this isn't rhetoric and that there are probably very good reasons why not...

Right now i'm feeling like a nice pisco sour (egg white and all), maybe a vodka to chase, and debating between machiato (doppio) and simple espresso for my coffee sift.

anyway, cool that you're back grinding. Hope the money gets returned too - we still haven't had the chance to smach each other's rolls.
good luck! kick it yo...

Here you go mate!



We'll meet soon We'll play some HU
You can do HORSE?

I live by Buffalo so i thought id bring some chicken wings and blue cheese to go with the beer.

Them chicken wings sure look tasty

Hmmm, some more pravda vodka might be in order


Lemme also change the current track in here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvUayiIMNxw



That's better.


I feel like ballin'. I don't *have* the liquidity yet, but I just applied for a Swiss bank account. I applied for it in the motherfucking Zurich branch.

In Euro.
It truly is amazing what you can do via the internet these days.

Now, my Neteller is already in Euro. I'll ship their maestro cards over, and I'll be able to withdraw on my local ATMs, for a modicum of a fee. I can even get a fucking MasterCard Gold if I want to (ATTENTION: FUCK CREDIT CARDS! GET DEBIT CARDS INSTEAD). I'll be a proper balla once I get the cash money to put in them accounts.

So why am I this excited? Well, if you have Euro's around here you get the purchasing power equivalent to an H-bomb explosion. With electromagnetic pulse included.

I also opened some poker accounts on several networks, properly equipped with RB. I have been lax in the past, and seen RB opportunities vanish quicker than candy in the hands of a fat kid. Like Purple Lounge and Chili Poker, I postponed making accounts at these sites, and I heard they withdrew their RB offers from the 'net. But now, I've literally made use of every RB opportunity on different networks I could get my hands on, without having to deposit. To this day I regret not having gotten RB at UB, but I'll not play cash there anyway, so I can't care less. And their bonus system sucks big time. But I love their software.




60 more FPPs to go an I'll be at the magical $200 mark. Woohoo!
But I actually haven't played yesterday or today. I'll log some hands in tomorrow by lunch break or so, and again in the afternoon.



One can feel the feelin', right?

Jack, your bar was right next to my operation so I had to just stop in and say hey. Since Im here Ill take a Grey Goose on the rocks with a lime twist.

Welcome, fellow vodka lover!

Straight from the deepest depths of the freezer, but no lime though. Here you go!

I take an Absolute, no ice.

That's what I'm talking about.

True drinktards know that Vodka is the only drink you should have.

You can get soooo drunk, yet no one will ever be able to find out by sniffing your breath.

Here you go, connoisseur




Update on the account: so, I they called me up. And then I mentioned the magic words, "Internet" and "Gambling". Needless, to say, they told me to take a hike. Fuck Credit Suisse.

so u aren´t based in the US, or did u sign up at chili pre UIGEA?

Nope, I didn't sign up, that's the problem.
And now, iPoker RB has gotten scarce. Also, Purple Lounge won't take RB signups anymore.

I only used to play on UB, Party and PokerStars.


Also, LOL, I found out about poker post-UGIEA so I wasn't there during the golden age

How about grabbing me another beer and then stopping for a min to talk about good sites to deposit at for rakeback + deposit bonuses? I'm about done clearing my pokerstars reload bonus, and looking into my options for moving elsewhere. Fulltilt seems an option with $600 deposit bonus and rakeback, but not sure how well it clears. Other than that, its all a bit overwhelming trying to sort out other options from each other. Mainly looking to play 25NL and up shorthanded and/or full ring, but will probably keep my hand in at STTs. Obviously being non-American I have some more options than you, but you've spent more time than I have looking at this stuff. Probably looking at depositing around $800-$1k.

I''ll also send you an action-packed pm shortly

A cold beer and an action-packed pm to read. Does life get any better?

Just spent the last few hours in the Beginners Circle reading all the great posts there till my brain finally shut down so I thought I would stop in for a shot of iced Grey Goose.

Many Vodka Lovers in here. Nice!

Here you go






So today I found iGoogle. That's so awesome. A+/10 in my book.

I'm pouring me some red.




Things are still proceeding smoothly.

I also had the biggest comeback up until now:
http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ir-t67683.html


And sharkscope apparently doesn't track HORSE SNG's anymore, for whatever reason.

Let me adjust the music up in here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wpP_JF-OKQ

There, that's better.

Today I find out that Pearljammer on stars is only 25 years old. WTF? I picked up poker too late, damnit!

Ah, back to grinding.

Music is cool, ur new avatar is awesome! Lets celebrate her with an Absolute w/o ice

Here you go buddy

I'm gonna start focusing a lot on BvB play. This is currently my biggest leak.

There are more, but this one I consider my biggest one.

Also, beginning today, i'll try to play at least 5 FR sng's daily, 6 days a week. This done to maintain rythm. Lets see how that goes

Hey Jack, any more pictures of that girl in your avatar...shes smokin hot!

The minraise seems to be the most decisive tell in small stakes NL and PL poker.
I have yet to see one opportunity in which the villain minraised me at any point postflop and showed a hand that I was actually beating. 1 time.



additional changes to my work ethic: I will only analyze my play once a week, preferably on a tuesday or wednesday.

I feel for you Yankees. Today I find out that my country is on the "Banned countries List" at all of the Boss Network rooms and iPoker. WTF? Why would you go through the trouble of banning a fucking island? What kind of morons are these?
