Almost every single building on the road I'm driving on now has been flattened.<br />The destruction here is even more dramatic than the dreadful conditions in the capital. People have fled to the surrounding sugarcane fields or into mangrove swamps - anything to get away from the nightmare of the falling buildings.<br />I've seen a long line of people queuing up at a single working water tap. Tens of thousands are living in the open in church compounds, school playgrounds and marketplaces.<br />The population here are in profound shock. Many are wearing handkerchiefs over their mouths to keep out the dust and ward off the smell of dead bodies.<br /><br />David Orr, a spokesman for the UN World Food Programme...<br /><br />Many thousands were feared dead.<br />"Nearly every house was destroyed here. The military are talking about 20,000 to 30,000 dead."<br />Many survivors have been leaving quake-hit areas in search of food, water and medicine.<br /><br /><br />Quoting boywonder's Leggopoker blog...<br /><br />Guys,<br /><br />Stars, Tilt and Cake are making you an offer you can´t refuse. Any donations made to help ease the terrible struggle of the people in Haiti will be matched dollar for dollar.<br /><br />If you are going to give another cent to charity in your life, let it be this time when Lederer and the boys match it.<br /><br />I shipped 1 buy-in to "Aid for Haiti" on Fulltilt. 1 single buy-in. In fact, I should be ashamed for not giving more, and hopefully I will shame myself into giving another buy in. Unfortunately I already gave some today earlier before I found out about this amazing opportunity. However, by the time I wake up tomorrow, I won´t even remember having done that.<br /><br />Leggo and the rest of the poker-community, let´s show the world that we are not the bumhunting nits everybody thinks we are, and donate 1 or half of a buy-in of your regular stake, and inspire others to do the same. Encourage your friends and family to help through you, so that they too can get 2:1 on their money and benefit from this bargain deal.<br /><br />Within 24 hours, you will forget about it, and the effect it will have on your life will be completely insignificant. However, a child may have clean drinking water or hospital aid due to your generosity.<br /><br /><br />Donate a buy-in now!<br /><br />http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/aid-for-haiti<br /><br />http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/2010/pokerstars-sets-up-haiti-earthquake-appe-063299.htmlFinnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-5853499831378328412009-09-17T07:55:00.000-07:002009-09-17T07:56:11.390-07:00Oh mansweet17: Hi<br />Bloodninja: hello<br />Bloodninja: who is this?<br />sweet17: just a someone?<br />Bloodninja: A someone I know?<br />sweet17: nope<br />Bloodninja: Then why the hell are you bothering me?<br />sweet17: well sorrrrrry<br />sweet17: I just wanted to chat with you<br />Bloodninja: why?<br />sweet17: nevermind your an jerk<br />Bloodninja: Hey wait a minute<br />sweet17: yes?<br />Bloodninja: look I'm sorry.

AND seeing as I played my 10 BI session last night after 12 o clock you might even say that it is a +21 BI day. Shiiipp. $525. Happy out. This all probably makes for boring reading, so I'm sorry for that. Don't worry though, a losing session is on the cards, fo sho. Everything is going so well something bad is bound to happen. I've got a great positive attitude as you can see.<br /><br />**Edit - Actually no fuck that my next sesh is going to be even bigger. Roll on a 30 BI day.

Can't wait for the first of June when I can give this boring shit up, for two months at least. I'm taking a month off lazing around my hometown, and then a month of traveling all around Europe. For now its back to the grindstone til the end of this month to make some $$$ and keep that Nova.<br /><br />Here are a few hands in which the players involved were most likely proffesionals. Any thoughts appreciated, on bet sizing in particular.<br /><br />Ouch. just realised that two of these hands were against the same poor guy. Raped.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532616"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532616" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532624"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532624" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532618"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=532618" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object>Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-78217164017490693742009-05-19T08:12:00.000-07:002009-05-19T11:23:30.404-07:00Good to be back + update<span style=""><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/1658/"><img style="width: 409px; height: 144px;" alt="Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic" src="http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Rob/song.png" border="0" /></a><br />Cyanide & Happiness @ <a href="http://www.explosm.net/">Explosm.net</a><br /><br /><br />So I took a holiday to London, had a great time, and am now back reinvented, refreshed, and ready. I have had two good sessions since returning, which is a sign that I'm playing well. Today I was stuck $150 (six buyins) at one stage, but kept a cool head to finish up $3, which I'm delighted with. I was pissed off at one stage but I don't think I let my play suffer. Sessions where you lose a lot to recoup at the end are so much better than being up like 6 buyins to finish even.<br /><br />Full steam ahead now to maintain Nova for this month! Here are some hands from today.<br /><br /><br />In this hand I manned up and called this aggrotard's shove. Its a nice feeling to catch people with their hand in the cookie jar, getting caught is an awful feeling though.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=523613"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=523613" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br />And a nice ol' hand here<br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=523614"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=523614" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br />**Update - Played another 45 min session, + 3 BI's.

There’s no way they can beat you. <br />But ‘that guy’ who usually ends up in your games seems to be dealing a <br />little strangely today. Before you’ve finished blinking your eyes, <br />that very same guy has begun to deal the cards on the table one by <br />one, but yours lands face up! The whole hand has to be dealt once <br />again. You seem to be playing at reasonably high stakes and so this <br />shouldn’t really be happening any more…<br /> Well it happened to me last night. At my own home game which made it <br />rather frustrating too. Like my friends, I am certain that every mid <br />to high stakes gambler wants the security that a professional casino <br />dealer provides. When the stakes are high you can’t afford to make any <br />errors. Getting a professional is the only way to ensure that all the <br />rules are complied with and you get the added bonus of experiencing a <br />far more convincing playing field that resembles a professional casino.<br />I’ve always <a href="http://www.dialadealer.com/" target="_blank">hired professional poker dealers/croupiers</a> to deal at our home games and <br />dinner parties. When we invite guests over, the dealer gives us a <br />quick demonstration of his card handling skills, accompanied by a few <br />shuffling tricks. Once the formalities are over, we get down to the <br />actual game. Its usually Black Jack followed by Poker. Both test his <br />dealing skills to the limit well until the early hours every week.<br />Since I am no longer a casino man - naturally my wife takes care of <br />that, I am able to do this by visiting a site I found called Dial A <br />Dealer. Its a rather clever directory of dealers and <a href="http://www.dialadealer.com/dealer-search" target="_blank">high quality casino hire</a> events companies from around the <br />world. Dealers can sign up to the site and enter all of their <br />accolades as well as photographs and highlight which games they excel <br />at. I was able to quickly find a reliable dealer who is now a good <br />friend in my area.<br />The site has a distinct design that sets it apart from most casino <br />related sites. There is an informative article section which contains <br />advice for the newcomers covering all sorts of important topics such <br />as <a href="http://www.dialadealer.com/blog/030309/5-dealer-errors-annoy-poker-players" target="_blank">dealing etiquette and the top five worst mistakes you can make</a>. <br />Perhaps the dealer from last night’s game should have read this site?! <br />There is also a blog section that allows people like me to keep in <br />touch with all the latest news from the gambling world. Alongside this <br />are tips and advice to improve your home games as well.<br />Overall, I think they have all the popular locations covered like the <br />US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Its interesting to note <br />that the search for my dealer was made very easy by a feedback system <br />that lets users rate the dealers. Since I regularly have larger <br />parties I sometimes use the dealer’s extra services to hire tables or <br />venues and the site lets me see instantly who offers these.<br />Every time I go to a game that starts to go high stakes, I recommend <br />calling up a dealer from <a href="http://www.dialadealer.com/" target="_blank">www.dialadealer.com</a> to make sure the odds are <br />in everyone’s favour.Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-51843197349892118312009-05-13T10:50:00.000-07:002009-05-13T11:46:58.434-07:00Burnout<span style=""><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/1653/"><img style="width: 306px; height: 169px;" alt="Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic" src="http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Matt/This-might-be-the-most-autobiographical-comic-I-have-ever-done.png" border="0" /></a><br />Cyanide & Happiness @ <a href="http://www.explosm.net/">Explosm.net</a></span><br /><br /><br /><br />I have played just one session since the last blog post. 1800 hands, minus 2 BI's. I really think I've burned out properly this time. I can't stand to think of playing poker through the summer. I have around $5k, which I'm hoping will get me through til August/September.<br /><br />I'll keep playing for the next few weeks hopefully, and then stop for good until August sometime. Actually I just decided I'm going to try and move up to 50nl. Should be a bit more fun than the usual 25nl donks. Anyway I'm off to watch Man United crush Wigan.<br /><br />This is my bro's blog, he's started it up after hearing I have made a bit of $$$ from this.<br /><a href="http://joepegler.blogspot.com/2009/05/gonna-try-to-keep-this-thing-up-to-date.html">Stupid Blog</a>Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-72513423523646798972009-05-06T03:27:00.000-07:002009-05-06T04:18:37.761-07:00Downswing + 25nl stats<span style=""><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/1646/"><img style="width: 401px; height: 298px;" alt="Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic" src="http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Kris/planting.png" border="0" /></a><br />Cyanide & Happiness @ <a href="http://www.explosm.net/">Explosm.net</a><br /><br /><br /><br />I can't seem to stop myself from tilting these days. It's not ubermega "I'm gonna hit 5/10 heads up," tilt, just that I'm playing my B-game constantly. Scratch that, it's more like my F-game:<br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=476596"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=476596" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br />The villain was running 16/12, and of course my tilted brain interprets this to mean that villain is DEFINITELY bluffing. Snap call that river, why not? I have the nuts.<br /><br />Through analyzing my PT3 stats I've noticed I have had five losing sessions at 25nl in a row. God damn awful, whichever way you look at it. I don't know what to do to stop spewing. Not getting outdrawn at the start of sessions would help, but one or two bad outdraws never used to tilt me. Whats changed? I have been getting coolered and outdrawn a lot more but its no excuse, I used to be so confident at 25nl. I know I can still kill it, but before I was just more confident. I'm gonna play a lot less over the next week or two, and then increase the hours a lot to keep supernova at the end of May.<br /><br /><br />Here are my stats at 25nl to make myself feel better<br /><br /></span>Hands 395,806<br />Hours 254.22<br />BB/100 3.84<br />Total Profit $7599.70<br />$/hour $29.89<br />$ from Fpp's $2361.97<br /><br />Total Hourly Rate ...... $39.19<br /><br /><br />Just to remind myself, I got $ from fpp's by<br />(Hands/100) x (11 x .0155 x 3.5)<span style=""><br /><br /><br /><br />On a non poker related subject United are through to the final of the Champions League!!!! Roll on Rome, I hope Barcelona get through. I have a bit of money on 2-1 Barca as well.<br /><br />I am really pissed off about Fletcher though, it's an disgrace that the decision can't even be appealed. He is a player that truly puts his all into every game, and he deserves to be in that final more than most of our team.

I have played 3k hands so far, (what a hardcore grinder) for a profit of -$17.80.<br /><br />I have decided that I'm probably gonna work through the summer, minus the time I'll be off traveling. This means for May I'll just maintain Nova and enjoy the month. I'm bringing my girlfriend to London next weekend for our four year anniversary, which should be a good laff.<br /><br />My next blog post I'll upload some hands or something concretely poker related, this blog is after taking a turn for the worse ie. shitloads of non-poker related content.

Should be a good summer if I can put the hours in, I think 3.5ke shouold be enough, so roughly 4.5k USD. I have around 4k USD at the moment so I need to make enough to live off for May and make 1k more so I have enough to continue the grind after summer when I start college.

This grinding thing is easy once you get in a swing, I've played over 18k hands in 2 days, which would normally take me 6 or seven days, depending how lazy I am that particular week.

I'll be playing a lot more for the rest of the month, to keep my supernova status.<br /><br />The "scammer" who took my $500 has payed back the first installment of $100, which I'm delighted about. It means I don't have to hunt him down and break his lags.<br /><br />In other new YEEEEEEESSSSS Liverpool lost. Justice. I'll update my 25nl stats next post, gotta go watch Man United cruise through to the semi's.<br /><br /><br /></span>Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-1343115891539119482009-04-09T23:51:00.000-07:002009-04-09T23:54:16.951-07:00Douglas....retarded?

I had a nasty sesh yesterday where, in 600 hands, I had two set under set's, kk vs. aa aipf, and a hand where I had qq on a q66 board drawing practically dead. I made over 2k in March, at $33 an hour, and for April so far I have made 420, at $30 an hour, so it's not bad really.<br /><br />I played the $16.50 heads up SCOOP, and I think I won six in a row to take home $92, in the last 256. I made a pretty bad call in the final heads up, where I thought I had a read. <a href="http://willettecotter.blogspot.com/">Douglas</a> played it too, and I offered to trade 5% of the action. He declined, his reasoning being he thinks he's better at me heads up. Justice I say.<br /><br />Going to start up a sesh now, and then start the 5th series of house.Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344042264240974859.post-84332860997028911192009-04-05T13:58:00.000-07:002009-04-05T14:16:03.256-07:00Sweet day<span style=""><a href="http://www.explosm.net/comics/1613/"><img style="width: 405px; height: 308px;" alt="Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic" src="http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Comics/Kris/cup.png" border="0" /></a><br />Cyanide & Happiness @ <a href="http://www.explosm.net/">Explosm.net</a></span><br /><br /><br /><br />What an unreal day. Firstly and MOST importantly, UNITED WON! What a match, it literally had me in tears (of happiness). It was the most exciting and entertaining match I've seen in ten years, since that wonderful season of '99. Delighted.<br /><br />Secondly, I had a +9.78 BI day, which is always good.<br /><br />Thirdly, two of those 9.78 buyins were won off my arch nemesis donkey Virmos. Here are the hands, he played pretty poorly in both which made me even happier he he.<br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=402448"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=402448" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="400" height="250"><param name="movie" value="" pokerhandid="402451"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=402451" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="250"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Fourthly, well I don't really have a fourthly. I suppose the scoop is quite exciting, I have a piece of my friend Dougie, and a player called cody1982, so it's nice to have some interest. Railing Negreanu too, in the 10k horse. Exciting.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm off to wank over United on MotD2.

And I made many the april fool out of you all. Hopefully. Will and <a href="http://willettecotter.blogspot.com/">Dougie</a> were caught anyway, although Douglas maintains he knew all along and was playin with me.<br /><br />Haven't played much since last post, hour and a half just there. Made $60, with some bad luck and bad play. This hand is just awful, I was kinda on tilt.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=400737"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=400737" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />I came across two interesting articles/blog posts in the last few days.<br /><br />The first one <a href="http://br000se.blogspot.com/2009/04/wealth-is-it-worth-it.html">here</a> conveys a lot of views that I strongly agree with, its quite refreshing to find another person who shares my outlook on this topic. Another valid point in the argument of being rich vs. being "normal" is the old pronoun "money can't buy you happiness," a saying with which I totally agree. I grew up with a variety of people, some rich, some not so rich, and I fully believe that the better off friends of mine were no happier than the less well off. And this goes for all ages (I think).<br /><br /><br />This <a href="http://www.natarem.com/2009/04/01/whats-your-poker-potential/">article </a>outlines the five most essential aspects to becoming a successful poker player. I think I have four out of five of the qualities, the fourth quality being the one I lack. Although saying I have four out of five down kind of takes number five away from me. Ah well three aint bad.<br /><br /><br />As we speak I am playing in the supernova weekly tourney and this hand has just happened.<br /><object width="400" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=400741"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="scale" value="Exactfit"><embed src="http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/flash/replayer.swf?pokerhandid=400741" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" allowscriptaccess="always" scale="Exactfit" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br />I though I recongnized his name so I looked up the villain on OPR <a href="http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/shaundeeb/poker/results/5F3EDDB8471C4EFC9FBA683F7C0185BF.html?t=2">here</a>. Oh yeah, I pawned the number one on officialpokerrankings.com.<br /><br />What a move with that 69, I like that hand for some reason I just can't put my finger on. You know, 69, can't put my FINGER on(in) it . Oh the hilarity.<br /><br /><br /><br />Just made money there in the VIP tourney, $75 for top 270. There is 265 left, I have 9.9k, blinds are 400/800. I'll give updates as I go.<br /><br />Card dead. 8.7k.<br /><br />The average has only 11 bb's now, as blinds have gone up to .5/1k. Not long now I would imagine.<br /><br />7k. Got moved so missed SB, nice.<br /><br /><br />Folded A8 to an all in. Maybe shuda gone.<br /><br />All in j6.......marginal call by another shortie with A7.....and I'm out. $90. Dissapointing, but happy with a free $90.Finnianphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06717995650296393474noreply@blogger.com0
